Tesla fatal crash victim’s family look at legal options
San Mateo man died after car running Autopilot hit barrier, caught fire
By Melissa Hartman
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
The family of a man who died in a fiery
crash involving a Tesla Model X in
Mountain View has hired a San Francisco-
based law firm to help them explore legal
options, according to the law firm.
Minami Tamaki LLP posted on its blog
that relatives of San Mateo resident Walter
Huang killed in the March 23 crash are
looking to file a wrongful death lawsuit
against Tesla and possibly against sub-
contractors for design and construction of
its Autopilot mode.
Huang’s Tesla, which was running on the
maker’s Autopilot mode, veered into a
highway safety barrier and caught on fire
just before 9:30 a.m. that morning on
Highway 101.
The firm said in its post that a prelimi-
nary review has uncovered complaints by
other Tesla drivers about the Autopilot fea-
ture, as well as other lawsuits that have
resulted from the issue.
“The firm believes Tesla’s Autopilot fea-
ture is defective and likely caused Huang’s
death, despite Tesla’s apparent attempt to
blame the victim of this terrible tragedy,”
Minami Tamaki officials said.
“Mrs. Huang lost her husband and two
children lost their father,” Minami Tamaki
LLP partner Mark Fong said in the blog
post. “The family wants to investigate
this incident and help ensure that this
tragedy does not happen to other con-
sumers who buy semi-autonomous vehi-
cles.” The firm said that the family is
looking to sue on grounds of product lia-
bility, defective product design, failure to
warn, breach of warranty, intentional and
negligent misrepresentation, and false
advertising.
Officials with the firm said they also
believe Tesla’s navigation system misread

Tesla has also blamed Caltrans for not

severe” because a new attenuator had not
been installed in place of the damaged one.
“We have never seen this level of dam-

The National Transportation Safety

Drug testing program
considered for some
food stamp recipients
By Juliet Linderman
and Jonathan Lemire
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The Trump administra-
tion is considering a plan that would allow
states to require certain food stamp recipi-
ents to undergo drug testing, handing a win
to conservatives who’ve long sought ways
to curb the safety net program.
The proposal under review would be nar-
rowly targeted, applying mostly to people
who are able-bodied, without dependents
and applying for some specialized jobs,
according to an administration official
briefed on the plan. The official, who spoke
on condition of anonymity to discuss inter-
nal deliberations, said roughly 5 percent of
participants in the Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program could be affected.
The drug testing proposal is another step
in the Trump administration’s push to allow
states more flexibility in how they imple-
ment federal programs that serve the poor,
unemployed or uninsured. It also wants to
allow states to tighten work requirements
for food stamp recipients and has found sup-
port among GOP governors who argue
greater state control saves money and
reduces dependency.
Internal emails obtained by the
Associated Press indicated that Agriculture
Department officials in February were

awaiting word from the White House about
the timing of a possible drug testing
announcement.
“I think we just have to be ready because
my guess is we may get an hour’s notice
instead of a day’s notice,” wrote Jessica
Shahin, associate administrator of SNAP.
Conservative policymakers have pushed
for years to tie food assistance programs to
drug testing.
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, a
Republican, sued the USDA in 2015 for
blocking the state from drug testing adults
applying for food stamps.
A federal judge tossed the suit in 2016, but
Walker renewed his request for permission
later that year, after Donald Trump had won
the presidency but before he took office.
“We turned that down,” said former USDA
Food and Nutrition Service Undersecretary
Kevin Concannon, who served in the posi-
tion under the Obama administration from
2009 until January of last year. “It’s costly
and cumbersome.”
The proposal is not expected to be includ-
ed in a GOP-written farm bill expected to be
released as soon as early this week, a GOP
aide said.
Federal law bars states from imposing
their own conditions on food stamp eligi-
bility.

tance program, so far with little success.
Judges have blocked similar efforts in
other states. In Florida in 2014, a federal
appeals court upheld a lower court’s ruling
that drug testing SNAP recipients is uncon-
stitutional.
But at least 20 states have introduced leg-
islation to screen safety net program partic-
ipants in some capacity, according to the
National Conference of State Legislatures.
In December, Walker began moving ahead
with a workaround, drug testing partici-
pants in the state’s Employment and
Training Program who also received food
stamps.
USDA under Trump has not taken a public
position on drug testing. But Secretary
Sonny Perdue has promised to provide
states with “greater control over SNAP.”
“As a former governor, I know first-hand
how important it is for states to be given
flexibility to achieve the desired goal of
self-sufficiency for people,” he said. “We

“The blockchain is one of the most trans-

The emails obtained by the AP suggest
that a plan could be forthcoming.
The plan would apply to able-bodied peo-
ple who do not have dependents and are
applying for certain jobs, such as operating
heavy machinery, the official said.
In a February 15 email to USDA officials,
Maggie Lyons, chief of staff to an acting
official at the Food and Nutrition Service,
said, “We need to have a conversation about
timing given budget and when the (White
House) wants us to release drug testing.”
If the administration moves forward, it
would not be the first time drug testing was
used in a safety net program.
At least 15 states have passed laws allow-
ing them to drug-test recipients of
Temporary Assistance for Needy Families,
also known as welfare.
The discussion of the future of SNAP and
potential changes to the program are set
against the backdrop of the 2018 farm bill,

Sessions takes fight on border
enforcement to New Mexico
By Mary Hudetz
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAS CRUCES, N.M. — As thousands of
National Guard troops deploy to the Mexico
border, U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions
brought his tough stance on immigration
enforcement to New Mexico on Wednesday,
telling border sheriffs that cracking down
on illegal crossings and drug smuggling is
necessary to build a lawful immigration sys-
tem.
Sessions ticked off stories about smug-
glers being caught with opioids and cocaine
at the U.S.-Mexico border and legal loop-
holes that have encouraged more immigrants
to make the journey.
“This is not acceptable. It cannot contin-
ue,” he said. “No one can defend the way the
system is working today.”
Outside the meeting, dozens of immigrant
rights activists protested, once again reject-
ing Sessions’ previous characterization of
the border region as “ground zero” in the
Trump administration’s fight against cartels
and human traffickers.
They chanted in Spanish, saying the
region is not a “war zone,” and hoisted
signs that protested the proposed border
wall and the deployment of National Guard
troops to the region.
Sessions was speaking in Las Cruces at the
Texas Border Sheriff’s Coalition annual
spring meeting with the Southwestern
Border Sheriff’s Coalition, which includes
31 sheriff’s departments from Texas, New
Mexico, Arizona and California.
The departments patrol areas located with-
in 25 miles (40 kilometers) of the border.
Sessions’ trip to Las Cruces, a small city
about an hour north of the border, comes as
construction begins nearby on 20 miles (32
kilometers) of steel fencing that officials
say is part of Trump’s promised wall.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection offi-
cials say the heightened barrier will be hard-
er to get over, under and through than the old
post and rail barriers that line the stretch of
sprawling desert west of the Santa Teresa
border crossing.
“The lack of a wall on the southern border
is an open invitation to illegal crossings,”
STATE/NATION
Sessions said.
Dona Ana County
Sheriff Enrique “Kiki”
Vigil, whose jurisdiction
includes Las Cruces and
Santa Teresa, doubted that
a wall is an appropriate
use of resources to com-
bat the flow of drugs in
Jeff Sessions the area — one of the
busiest sectors of the
U.S.-Mexico border.
Vigil said he would prefer to see any addi-
tional potential spending on a border wall
instead go toward acquiring more technolo-
gy and filling other needs of law enforce-
ment on the border.
“Just the building of the wall, that’s going
to be a humongous price,” he said. “Why not
use some of that money to try to address
some of the issues here in the counties?”
Citing a crisis on the border, Sessions has
issued an order directing federal prosecutors
to put more emphasis on charging people
with illegal entry.
He took another swipe Wednesday at sanc-
tuary cities, telling the sheriffs that it’s
“illogical and insane” that a person can enter
the country illegally on Monday and make
their way to San Francisco by Wednesday
and not be deported.
Sessions said the crisis has been allowed
to fester for decades while politicians made
promised but did nothing to fix the system.
A 37 percent increase in illegal border
crossings in March brought more than
50,000 immigrants into the United States. It
was triple the number of reported illegal bor-
der crossings in the same period last year.
It was still far lower, however, than the
surges during the last years of the Obama
administration and prior decades.
The attorney general’s “zero-tolerance”
involving border crossings calls for prose-
cuting people who are caught illegally enter-
ing the United States for the first time.
He told the sheriffs that it would help end a
practice of “catch and release” at the border,
drawing applause from some in the audience.
Yuma County Sheriff Leon Wilmot, of
Arizona, was among those who supported
the “zero-tolerance directive.”

Gov. Brown OKs limited troop
deployment for Trump’s request
By Kathleen Ronayne
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — California Gov. Jerry
Brown agreed Wednesday to deploy 400
National Guard troops at President Donald
Trump’s request, but not all will head to the
U.S.-Mexico border as Trump wants and
none will enforce federal immigration
enforcement.
“This will not be a mission to build a new
wall. It will not be a mission to round up
women and children or detain people escap-
ing violence and seeking a better life,”
Brown, a Democrat, wrote in a letter to the
Trump administration.
Trump wants up to 4,000 troops sent to
the border to combat illegal immigration
and drug trafficking and has already won
commitments for about 1,600 from the
Republican governors of the other states

and Texas.
The White House praised Brown’s deci-
sion and made no mention of his comments
about not participating in immigration
enforcement activities.

SAN FRANCISCO — A federal appeals
court on Wednesday scrutinized whether
President Donald Trump’s executive order to
withhold funding from so-called “sanctuary
cities” threatened hundreds of millions of
dollars in federal funding to two California
counties or potentially less than a million
dollars as the administration claims.
Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals Chief

administration that the president wants to

Thomas also questioned whether the order
would be constitutional if it applied to all
types of funding as a lower court judge found.
U.S. Department of Justice attorney Chad
Readler said the order was much narrower,
noting that it referred specifically to the
DOJ and U. S. Department of Homeland
Security and not to other cabinet agencies
that oversee transportation, Medicaid, or
other funds. Readler has previously said the
order applied to only three Justice

Ryan to retire, leaving big election-year GOP vacuum
House Speaker Paul Ryan addresses a news conference where he announced he would not
seek re-election in November.
Ryan will leave behind new
tax code and busted budget
By Andrew Taylor
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — House Speaker Paul
Ryan will leave Congress having achieved
one of his career goals: rewriting the tax
code. On his other defining aim — balanc-
ing the budget and cutting back benefit pro-
grams like Social Security, Medicare and
Medicaid — Ryan has utterly failed.
Ryan, a budget geek with a passion for
details who announced Wednesday that he
would retire next year, proved adroit in draw-
ing up budget plans that balanced on paper
but didn’t get beyond the hypothetical.
Under his leadership, Republicans never
tried to implement the deep cuts his budget
called for, particularly his vision of turning
Medicare into a voucher-like program for
future retirees. Instead, the House passed
steep tax cuts while increasing spending,
setting the government on a path to rising
deficits.
The gap between Ryan’s reach and his
grasp was especially stark this week. The
Congressional Budget Office said Monday
that the tax bill and last month’s $1.3 tril-
lion spending bill would add more than $2.6
trillion to the national debt over the coming
decade — and the looming return of the first
trillion-dollar deficits since President
NATION
REUTERS
Barack Obama’s first term.
The rising deficits don’t lay at Ryan’s feet
alone. Although the 48-year-old lawmaker
from Wisconsin was an aggressive sales-
man for his plans, and was once viewed as
the new face of a GOP focused on shrinking
the size of government, the party ultimately
did not turn his way. President Donald Trump
had no interest in Ryan’s Medicare proposal
and even called it a political loser during the
2016 primary campaign. Senate Majority
Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has made
clear he’s not interested in taking on Social
Security reforms.
“I feel from all the budgets that I’ve
passed, normalizing entitlement reform,
pushing the cause of entitlement reform and
the House passing entitlement reform, I’m
very proud of that fact, ” Ryan said
Wednesday.
Still, this was not likely how a young
Ryan, who cut his teeth in Washington as a
speechwriter for conservative icon Jack
Kemp, imagined closing out his career.
Earlier in his career, Ryan was an advocate
for partially privatizing Social Security by
allowing younger retirees to steer a portion
of their payroll taxes into retirement
accounts. That idea cratered in 2005 despite
a determined push by President George W.
Bush.
By Lisa Mascaro
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — House Speaker Paul
Ryan abruptly announced Wednesday he will
retire rather than seek another term in
Congress as the steady if reluctant wingman
for President Donald Trump, sending new
ripples of uncertainty through a
Washington already on edge and a
Republican Party bracing for a rough elec-
tion year.
The Wisconsin Republican cast the deci-
sion to end his 20-year career as a personal
one — he doesn’t want his children growing
up with a “weekend dad” — but it will create
a vacuum at both ends of Pennsylvania
Avenue. It will leave congressional
Republicans without a measured voice to
talk Trump away from what some see as dam-
aging impulses, and it will rob Trump of an
influential steward to shepherd his more
ambitious ideas into legislation.
It’s unusual for a House speaker, third in
line to succeed the president, to turn himself
into a lame duck, especially so for Ryan, a
once-rising GOP star who is only 48 and was
the party’s vice presidential candidate in
2012. His decision fueled fresh doubts about
the party’s ability to fend off a Democratic
wave, fed by opposition to Trump, in
November. And it threw the House into a
leadership battle that could end up pushing
Ryan aside sooner than he intended and crush
any hopes for significant legislation before
the election.
Ryan, though, said he had no regrets after
having accomplished “a heckuva lot” during
his time in a job he never really wanted. He
said fellow Republicans have plenty of
achievements to run on this fall, including
the tax cuts Congress delivered, which have
been his personal cause and the centerpiece
of his small-government agenda, even
though they helped skyrocket projected
annual deficits toward $1 trillion.
“I have given this job everything I have,”
Ryan said.
Speculation over Ryan’s future had been
swirling for months, but as he dialed up col-
leagues and spoke by phone with Trump
early Wednesday, the news stunned even top
allies.
Ryan announced his plans at a closed-door
meeting of House Republicans. Rep. Mark
Thursday • April 12, 2018 7
Walker of North Carolina said an emotional
Ryan “choked up a few times trying to get
through” his remarks and received three
standing ovations.
He later briefly thanked Trump in public
for giving him the chance to move GOP
ideas ahead.
While Ryan was crucial in getting the tax
cuts passed, a prime Trump goal, he and the
president have had a difficult relationship.
Trump showed impatience with Congress’
pace in dealing with his proposals, and Ryan
had to deal with a president who shared little
of his interest in policy detail.
Still, for many Republicans, it’s unclear
who will be left in leadership to counterbal-
ance Trump. Ryan has been “a steady force in
contrast to the president’s more mercurial
tone,” said Rep. Mark Sanford of South
Carolina. “That’s needed.”
The speaker had been heading toward this
decision since late last year, said a person
familiar with his thinking, but as recently as
February he had considered running for
another term. His own father died suddenly of
a heart attack when he was 16, and though
Ryan is in good health, the distance from his
family weighed on him. A final decision was
made over the two-week congressional
recess, which he partly spent on a family
vacation in the Czech Republic.
Ryan, from Janesville, Wisconsin, was
first elected to Congress in 1998. Along
with Reps. Eric Cantor and Kevin McCarthy,
he branded himself a rising “Young Gun” in
an aging party, a new breed of hard-charging
Republican ready to shrink the size of gov-
ernment.
He was GOP presidential nominee Mitt
Romney’s running mate in 2012.
Ryan was pulled into the leadership job by
the sudden retirement in 2015 of Speaker
John Boehner, who had struggled to control
the chamber’s restless conservative wing.
He has had more trust with the hardliners in
the House.
“That’s probably his greatest gift to us,”
said Rep. Kevin Cramer of North Dakota.
“His ability to bridge the vast divide.”
House Majority Leader McCarthy, a
Californian known to be tighter with Trump,
is expected to again seek the top leadership
post that slipped from his reach in 2015. He
will likely compete with Majority Whip
Steve Scalise of Louisiana.

Algerian military plane
crashes after takeoff, killing 257
ALGIERS, Algeria — An Algerian military plane carrying
soldiers, their families and some refugees crashed soon after
takeoff Wednesday into a field in northern Algeria, killing
257 people in what appeared to be the North African
nation’s worst-ever aviation disaster.
Algeria’s Defense Ministry said those killed included 247
passengers and 10 crew. An Algerian-backed group seeking
independence for Western Sahara said 30 of its people,
including women and children, were among the dead.
The cause of the crash was unclear and an investigation
has been opened.
Algerian authorities did not mention any survivors but
one witness reported seeing some people jump out of the
aircraft before it crashed at 7:50 a.m. Wednesday. Algerian
TV Dzair said five people were in a critical state but it’s
unclear whether they were inside the plane when it crashed.
The flight had just taken off from the Boufarik military
base, 30 kilometers (20 miles) southwest of the capital
Algiers, for the southwestern military base in Bechar,
according to Farouk Achour, spokesman for Algeria’s civil
protection services. The flight also included a layover in
the southern city of Tindouf, he said.
The Soviet-designed Il-76 military transport plane
crashed in a farm field with no people nearby, Achour said.
Footage from the scene showed thick black smoke com-
ing off the field, ambulances and Red Crescent vehicles
arriving at the crash site and body bags lined up in the field.
Several witnesses told Algerian TV network Ennahar they
saw flames coming out of one of the planes’ engines just
before it took off. One farmer said some passengers jumped
out of the aircraft before the accident.
“The plane started to rise before falling,” an unidentified
man lying on what seemed to be a hospital bed told Ennahar
TV. “The plane crashed on its wing first and caught fire.”
Yemeni rebel missiles,
drones target Saudi capital, south
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — Saudi Arabia faced a flurry of
attempted attacks by Yemen’s rebels on Wednesday, with
the kingdom’s defense forces saying they intercepted mis-
siles that targeted Riyadh and another city, and drones tar-
geting an airport and an Aramco oil facility in the country’s
south.
The attacks underscore how the Shiite rebels, known as
Houthis, continue to retain a range of potentially lethal and
disruptive ways to hit the kingdom, despite more than three
years of devastating Saudi airstrikes on Yemen to try and
roll back Houthi control of the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, and
other northern strongholds.
The strikes by the rebels in neighboring Yemen came just
days before Saudi Arabia is to host heads of state and digni-
taries for the annual Arab League summit, which will be held
this year in the eastern Saudi city of Dammam. The location
may have been selected by the kingdom to avoid Houthi
missile strikes during Sunday’s summit.
Saudi state-run TV channel al-Ekhbariya carried an offi-
cial statement saying the kingdom’s defense forces inter-
cepted missiles fired at Riyadh and the southern city of
Jizan.
The Houthi-run al-Masirah TV channel said the ballistic
missiles targeted the Saudi Defense Ministry in Riyadh,
among other targets in the kingdom’s capital.
An Associated Press reporter in Riyadh heard three loud
explosions overhead just before sunset Wednesday. Other
residents of the capital posted on social media similar
accounts of hearing loud explosions and seeing smoke in
the sky from the possible missile interception.

Nominee to lead State Department: Soft policy on Russia ‘over’
By Josh Lederman
and Matthew Lee
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Mike Pompeo,
the hard-charging CIA director picked
to be the next secretary of state, will
tell the Senate on Thursday that years
of soft U.S. policy toward Russia are
“now over.” Drawing a sharp contrast
with predecessor Rex Tillerson,
Pompeo will vow to promote democ-
racy and human rights while ending
“demoralizing” vacancies at the State
Department.
According to his prepared remarks,
Pompeo will chastise Russia for act-
ing “aggressively” and emphasize
that the Trump administration consid-

documents from his private lawyer, his

“Much of the bad blood with Russia is
caused by the Fake & Corrupt Russia
Investigation, headed up by the all
Democrat loyalists, or people that
worked for Obama,” Trump tweeted.
“Mueller is most conflicted of all
(except Rosenstein who signed FISA &
Comey letter). No Collusion, so they
go crazy!”
That message followed another
provocative tweet, in which Trump
laced into Russia for supporting Syrian
President Bashar Assad, whose govern-
ment is accused of launching an appar-
ent chemical attack Saturday on its own
people. Disregarding his own insis-
tence that he would never tip his hand
to military strategy, he seemed to sug-

Trump wrote. “You shouldn’t be part-
ners with a Gas Killing Animal who
kills his people and enjoys it!”
The president’s renewed public anger
at special counsel Robert Mueller and
Deputy Attorney General Rob
Rosenstein was prompted by the FBI
raid on his longtime personal attorney
Michael Cohen, who acknowledged
paying $130,000 to Daniels, a porn
actress, to buy her silence about an
alleged affair with Trump. Trump has
warned that an investigation into his
business would cross “a red line” and
could lead him to fire Mueller, despite
strong pushback from a number of aides
and Republicans in Congress. “It wor-
ries me because I realize how much he
feels personally cheated and how much
it feels like it’s a personal witch hunt.
And he’s not the kind of guy that takes
that lying down. He fights back,” said
Newt Gingrich, the former House
speaker and an informal Trump adviser.
Pompeo plans to say. “No other
nation is equipped with the same blend
of power and principle.”
Pompeo’s remarks Thursday before
the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee will be the first chance for
lawmakers and the public to hear
directly from the former Kansas con-
gressman about his approach to diplo-
macy and the role of the State
Department, should he be confirmed
to lead it. Pompeo’s views on global
issues are well known — he was ques-
tioned extensively by senators for his
confirmation to run the CIA — but
Democratic senators have raised ques-
tions about his fitness to be top diplo-
mat, given his hawkish views and past
comments about minorities.

Syria braces for possible U.S. attack, calls it ‘reckless’
By Sarah El Deeb
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEIRUT — With a mix of fear and
defiance, Syrians braced on
Wednesday for a possible U.S.
attack in retaliation to an alleged
chemical assault that killed dozens
over the weekend. Some stocked up
on food and prepared underground
shelters while others taunted the
U.S. president to go through with
his threats.
Activists reported that govern-
ment forces vacated strategic
potential targets, including air
bases around the country in appar-
ent preparation for incoming
strikes.
The Foreign Ministry in
Damascus denounced President
Donald Trump’s threat to attack the
country as “reckless” and a danger
to international peace and security.
The statement was the latest in a
war of words raging between
Washington and Moscow since
Saturday’s suspected chemical
attack on the rebel-held town
Douma, just outside Damascus,
which killed more than 40 people
according to activists and first
responders.
The World Health Organization
said about 500 patients showed
signs of exposure to toxic chemi-
cals following the Douma attack.
Syria and its ally Russia deny
such an attack happened.
Social media pages were flush
with defiant comments, mostly
from government supporters, some
lamenting Syria’s perpetual con-
flict while others taunted Trump to
go through with his threats.
“They have threatened us a thou-
sand times. Let them go through

U.S., Russia trade rhetoric, edge toward showdown over Syria
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MOSCOW — When the U.S.
fired Tomahawk missiles at a
Syrian airfield a year ago after a
chemical weapons attack, the
Pentagon gave Moscow advance
warning to get its personnel out
of harm’s way.
Since then, U.S.-Russian rela-
tions have soured, and the two
nuclear powers have raised the
ante, getting dangerously close
to a potential military clash in
Syria.
U.S. President Donald Trump
has taunted Moscow to “get
ready” for “nice and new and
‘smart”’ missiles coming to pun-
ish Syria for a purported chemical
attack on Saturday that killed at
least 40 people. The tweet fol-

The defiant posture leaves both
the White House and the Kremlin
with fewer options to respond
without losing face.
A stern statement last month
by Russia’s top military officer
effectively drew a red line on any
U. S. strike. Gen. Valery
Gerasimov, the chief of the
Russian military’s General Staff,
said Russian military officers are
at Syrian facilities throughout
the country and warned that “if a
threat to our servicemen emerges,
the Russian armed forces will
take retaliatory measures against
both missiles and their carriers.”
Some say the U.S. could launch
about 430 Syrian pounds to the
dollar last week to 469 Wednesday.
Amid the unprecedented tension
between the two former Cold War
adversaries, the Syrian
Observatory for Human Rights said

Trump’s threat of retaliatory mil-
itary action prompted a slew of
Russian comments warning that
U.S. strikes could trigger a direct
military clash between them.
Trump took to Twitter on
Wednesday, vowing that “smart”
missiles “will be coming.”
France said it would consider a
response with the United States and
Britain. Saudi Arabia said it would
support a military operation in
Syria.
A similar chemical attack last
year that killed more than 80 peo-
ple in northern Syria prompted a
limited U.S. retaliation that target-
ed an air base from which aircraft
involved in the strike likely
deployed from.
In its statement, the Foreign
Ministry, repeated its line that
Washington’s allegations were
“unsubstantiated” and that the
alleged chemical attack is being
used as a pretext to target Syria.
“We are not surprised by this
reckless escalation from a regime
like the one in the United States,
which has and continues to spon-
sor terrorism in Syria,” the min-
istry said, adding that statements
from Washington lack “wisdom
and logic” and endanger interna-
tional peace and security.
By inviting the international
chemical weapons watchdog to
send a fact-finding mission to
Syria, the government claimed it
proved it was innocent of the alle-
gations of using chemical
weapons.
Russia’s ambassador to Lebanon
Alexander Zasypkin said any mis-
siles fired at Syria would be shot
down and the launching sites tar-
geted.
“If there is a strike by the
Americans, then ... the missiles
will be downed and the source of
the missiles targeted,” Zasypkin
told Hezbollah’s Al-Manar TV sta-
tion.
Europe’s airspace authorities
warned aircraft to be careful when
flying close to Syria because of
possible military action.
The Eurocontrol airspace organi-
zation said that the European
Aviation Safety Agency had sent a
“Rapid Alert Notification” that
flight operators needed to consider
the possibility of air or missile
strikes on Syria within the next 72
hours.

Banks, tech falls; oil rises to three-year high

By Marley Jay
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Companies
including banks and technology
and health care firms fell
Wednesday after U.S. stocks had
surged the day before. Oil prices
hit a three-year high after
President Donald trump tweeted
that the U.S. will launch missiles
at targets in Syria.
Other than energy companies,
stocks were slightly lower for most
of the day. Banks slipped along
with interest rates while health care
and technology companies gave up
some of the big gains they made on
Tuesday. Trump said the U.S. will
respond to the recent suspected
chemical attack and Saudi Arabia
said it intercepted missiles fired by
rebels in Yemen. Fighting in the
Middle East could restrict oil sup-
plies and push prices higher.
The Federal Reserve released
minutes from its meeting in
March. Some policymakers felt
the central bank may have to
increase rates more quickly in
response to faster economic
growth and rising inflation, and it
might have to focus on slowing
the economy to keep inflation
under control. The market didn’t
react dramatically to that develop-
ment, but stock indexes trailed off
in the afternoon.
Simona Mocuta, senior econo-
mist for State Street Global
Advisors, said it’s a challenge for
investors to respond to events like
possible strikes in Syria because
it’s not clear what the outcomes
will be.
“There is so much uncertainty
about the geopolitics that it’s hard
for the market even to price on a
day-to-day basis,” she said.
The S&P 500 index fell 14.68
points, or 0.6 percent, to

Oil company with checkered Business brief

history hit with $12.5M fine
LOS ANGELES — A California oil compa-
ny with a long history of safety violations
and regulatory lapses was hit with a record
$12.5 million fine by state regulators
Wednesday for nearly 1,500 violations in the
past year at an oil field in Orange County.
Greka Oil & Gas falsified results in more
than 350 reports, failed to conduct regular
pressure testing at dozens of wells and didn’t
maintain operating pressure gauges, accord-
ing to the state’s Department of
Conservation.
“The magnitude of this penalty reflects the
company’s violations and poor practices,
and the potential harm it could cause to sur-
rounding communities, the environment,
and groundwater,” said Ken Harris, supervi-
sor of the Division of Oil, Gas and
Geothermal Resources.
A Greka lawyer did not immediately
respond to an email request for comment.
State oil and gas regulators have long been
criticized for taking a lax approach toward
holding petroleum producers accountable. In
recent years, the division’s leaders have
acknowledged failings and vowed to get
tougher.
Lawmakers equipped the division with
increased enforcement powers and stiffer
financial penalties, which led to the largest
fine ever issued by the division, spokesman
Don Drysdale said. The fine surpassed the
previous record of $257,000 against
Bennett Petroleum in 2015 by nearly 50
times.
The state also ordered the company to stop
injecting water into its Richfield oil opera-
tion northeast of Anaheim until it complies
with state orders. It is also required to get a
$39 million bond that would be used to cover
cleanup costs if the company goes bankrupt.
U.S. consumer prices rise at
faster 2.4 percent from ’17
By Christopher Rugaber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — U.S. consumer prices
rose 2.4 percent in March from a year ear-
lier, the fastest annual pace in 12 months.
The Labor Department said Wednesday
that on a monthly basis, the consumer
price index declined 0.1 percent in March.
The index’s yearly gain, however, sug-
gests that inflation pressures may be pick-
ing up.
Excluding the volatile food and energy
categories, core prices ticked up 0.2 per-
cent in March and 2.1 percent from a year
ago. That was the biggest annual increase
for core prices since February 2017.
The gains partly reflect the impact of
changes in mobile phone services costs,
which fell sharply last March after several
carriers introduced unlimited data plans.
That drop has lifted year-over-year price
changes, boosting the annual gains.
Still, economists said there were signs
elsewhere of rising prices. Hotel prices
jumped 2.3 percent in March, while rents
increased 0.3 percent. Hospital services
costs rose 4.9 percent.
“U. S. inflation is warming up rather
than heating up,” Sal Guatieri, an econo-
mist at BMO Capital Markets, said.
The Federal Reserve wants inflation to
generally run at about 2 percent, as a hedge
against deflation, when prices and wages
fall. For most of the past six years, con-
sumer prices have been stuck below that
level, according to a separate gauge the
Fed monitors.
The consumer price index has averaged
just 1.6 percent in the past decade.
The Fed has lifted the short-term rates it
controls six times since December 2015,
with the latest increase occurring last
month. The Fed’s benchmark rate stands at
1.5 percent to 1.75 percent, still very low
historically.
Fed policymakers have signaled they
intend to raise rates twice more this year.
If inflation data continues to show signs
of picking up, they could hike rates three
times.
“The upward trend could suffice to nudge
the Fed three more times this year, ”
Guatieri said.
Other items fell in price. The cost of
clothing, used cars, and gasoline dropped
in March, with prices at the pump down
4.9 percent, the most since last May.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Sacred Heart Prep baseball team already
has a pair of well-known, well-entrenched
starting pitchers in seniors Dominic
Cacchione and Angelo Tonas.
Cacchione is committed to play at Arizona
State, while Tonas is going back east to play
at Georgetown.
Wednesday, a third member of the rotation
pushed his way into the conversation of best
pitcher on the team. Nate Fleischli, a junior,
was nearly unhittable and the offense got
rolling early as the Gators remained the only
undefeated team in Peninsula Athletic League
Bay Division play as they routed Hillsdale,
10-1, in Atherton.
“It was just good baseball all the way
around,” said SHP manager Anthony Granato.
“You never know with a (spring) break what
[the players’ mindset] is going to be like.”
SHP (4-0 PAL Bay, 13-3 overall) appears to
be locked in as the second half of the league
season gets back into full swing next week.
The Gators kept things sharp by playing in
the Bellarmine Easter Tournament last week
where Fleischli showed signs of things to
come by tossing a two-hitter in a 2-1 loss to
Salinas.
A week later, Fleischli was on the mound
again and it was deja vu for SHP as he shut
down the Hillsdale bats, doing his start last
week one better by allowing just one hit in 5
2/3 innings of work.
“He’s got tremendous downhill angle (on
his pitches),” Granato said. “When he gets
ahead, he’s a tough guy to hit.”
Fleischli was so dominant most thought he
was working on a no-hitter, forgetting a first-
inning bunt by Hillsdale’s Drew Aspillera that
was misplayed into a hit when the first base-
man fielded the ball but was beaten to the bag
by Aspillera.
Fleischli more or less cruised the rest of the
way before he was lifted after just 87 pitches
with two outs in the sixth and the Gators lead-
ing 10-0.
“I have a lot of confidence in him,” Granato
said.
With Fleischli locking down the Knights, it
allowed the SHP offense the time to find its

SAN FRANCISCO — Paul Goldschmidt

Goldschmidt and John Ryan Murphy hit
home runs, and the Arizona Diamondbacks

Goldschmidt “We know how tough this

Padres — it’s not going to be easy.”
Goldschmidt was batting .100 (3 for 30)
through his first eight games. He drove in
three runs in the finale, and the five-time
All-Star finished 5 for 12 in the series with

“We know that if it was the middle of the
season, it’d be nothing that’d be talked
about, ” Diamondbacks manager Torey
Lovullo said of Goldschmidt’s slump. “It’s
just a little bit magnified when you start the
season and you see that average up there.
He’s going to be fine. Today was a great
day.”
Goldschmidt’s second home run in as
many days came against Andrew Suarez (0-
1), who made his major league debut. The
25-year-old left-hander had retired his first
10 batters before Ketel Marte singled in the
fourth. Goldschmidt followed with his home
run.
Suarez gave up four runs and seven hits in
5 1/3 innings, struck out seven and walked
none. He left to a standing ovation.
“It was great, I haven’t had one of those,
ever,” Suarez said. “It felt really good.”

The world’s best will descend on San
Francisco and the Bay Area this summer
and you may not know anything about it.
Unless you’re a rugby fan.
San Francisco hosts the 2018 Rugby
World Cup Sevens tournament at AT&T

the July 20-22 tournament were released
Wednesday as organ-
izers marked the 100-

ties.
And you can bet
that the tournament
experience will be
festive. Brace your-
self, Bay Area,
because you’re about
to experience a party
rivaled only by soc-
cer’s World Cup.
For those of you
old enough to remember when Palo Alto
was a host site for the 1994 World Cup,
that was quite the scene. That will have
nothing on what rugby fans bring to the
party, who are all out for a good time.
Rugby fans travel exceptionally well and,
with the chance to visit a world-class city
like San Francisco (warts and all) and all
the other things that make the Bay Area
one of the best places in the world to live
(again, warts and all), they will take
advantage of it all.
And the party isn’t just before and after
the game. It continues inside the stadium
as fans are known to parade around
singing, dancing and supporting their
team, all in the name of good fun.

The NBA’s first-round pairings are finally set
By Tim Reynolds
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI — The NBA playoffs that start this
weekend already have an extremely tough act
to follow.
The regular season ended with a flourish.
Wednesday’s final night of the regular sea-
son was well beyond dramatic — an overtime
game between Minnesota and Denver to
decide the last berth, another overtime game
between Miami and Toronto to determine
some East fates, a 46-point first quarter by
Philadelphia , an absurd 20-rebound, 19-assist
night from Russell Westbrook.
And now, the best time of the NBA year is
finally here.
The playoffs are back, with Golden State
and Cleveland — who’ve met in the last three
NBA Finals — not exactly looking like the
overwhelming favorites the league has come
to expect. A fourth straight Warriors-Cavs
matchup is no guarantee. A fourth straight trip
by either of those teams alone is far from cer-
tain, either.
It all starts Saturday, the 16-team tourna-
ment that will be a two-month grind follow-
ing the six-month grind of the regular season.

PAL Ocean Division game in San Mateo.
Jack Mettam had the big stick for HMB
(2-2 PAL Ocean, 10-6 overall) as he drove in
five runs. He had a bases-loaded, three-run
double during that six-run third and added
two more RBIs on another double in the
fifth. Jakob Meighen and Tristan Hofmann
each drove in a run as well for the Cougars.
That was than enough offense for HMB
starting pitcher Joey Greco, who scattered
six hits and struck out three in six innings
of work.
San Mateo falls to 1-4 in league play and
5-9 overall.

Those two teams played in the West finals
last season, and the Spurs were up by 23
points when Leonard left in the third quarter
after getting injured on a play where he tried a
jumper and Warriors center Zaza Pachulia
closed out aggressively. Leonard got hurt
when he stepped on Pachulia on the landing;
he and the Spurs haven’t been the same since.
Leonard never returned to that series, and
played in only nine games for the Spurs this
season.
“There is no pressure on us,” Spurs star
LaMarcus Aldridge said.
There is on Golden State.
The Warriors are trying for a third title in
four seasons, and will play this first round
more than likely without Curry while he con-
tinues recovering from a knee injury. Golden
State went 7-10 in its final 17 games, and
clearly sputtered across the finish line.
But the records all reset now, and the
Warriors have been waiting to get the post-
season started.
“It’ll be our first meaningful game in about
a month,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said.
“Looking forward to that.”
With good reason. There’s a trophy to go
chase now.

Around MLS: KC goalkeeper key to turnaround

By Anne M. Peterson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Tim Melia made his 100th appearance with
Sporting Kansas City memorable with a
career-high 10 saves.
Thing is, he didn’t even know he had reached
either milestone until afterward.
“Of all the things that I’ve gone through in
my career, I’m proud of the fact that I’m able to
accomplish and have these statistics here,” the
goalkeeper said in retrospect Wednesday.
“This club is very special to me. This was the
club that gave me the opportunity and stuck
with me in good and bad times.”
Melia’s saves came in a 2-0 road victory
over the LA Galaxy on Sunday. It was his sec-
ond straight clean sheet and earned him MLS
Player of the Week honors .
He even turned away Zlatan Ibrahimovic in
the high-profile newcomer’s second MLS
appearance.
“It’s a guy who has accomplished a ton in
professional soccer. He’s obviously a huge tal-
ent, a world star, so to have an opportunity to
play against him, it’s fun,” Melia said. “He
came on later in the game and you could kind of
feel the energy that he brought in when he got
subbed in. I think it’s going to be good for the
league and good for the LA Galaxy.”
While goalkeepers can feel momentum and
use it, Melia said more of the credit for his per-
formance Sunday goes to Sporting’s defense
overall.
“I think that every shot as a goalkeeper that
you save, you get a little bit more confident,
you get a little more comfortable in your posi-
tioning, your decision-making becomes clear-
er,” he said. “But to be honest I didn’t feel like
that in this game. I feel like I’m getting a ton
Sporting KC goalkeeper Tim Melia finished with 10 saves in a 2-0 win over LA Galaxy last
week. It was his second straight shutout.
of credit because of the statistics that were hap-
pening during the game, but I want to say all
but one of those shots was from pretty far out.
And that’s on our team. That’s because our team
is doing such a good job defensively.”
Earlier this season, Kansas City faced ques-
tions about its defense after allowing nine
goals in its first four matches. The team
allowed just 29 goals all of last season, best in
the league.
But a stellar attack has helped offset any
defensive struggles the team might have had.
Sporting sits atop the Western Conference at
4-1-1 with a conference-high 12 goals so far
this season. Only Atlanta United (13) has more
in MLS.
The two straight shutouts indicate a defense
on the rebound.
ANNE-MARIE SORVIN/USA TODAY SPORTS
“It’s way too early in the season. I think
what’s most important, with just being an ath-
lete, is kind of never being too high or too
low, understanding that there’s going to be
ebbs and flows to the season,” Melia said. “Our
start was not acceptable by any means. Nine
goals in four games is completely unaccept-
able and it’s not who we are.”
But he added: “Just because we had back-to-
back shutouts doesn’t mean anybody’s com-
fortable. The reason we are getting those
shutouts in the past two games is because of
our commitment defensively. And that’s just
not the goalkeeper, the back four, it’s the
entire team.”
Melia, 31, is the reigning MLS Goalkeeper
of the Year. Last season he had a career-high 12
wins, 10 shutouts, 91 saves and 31 starts. He
led MLS with a 0.78 goals-against average and
a 78.4 save percentage. He saved three penalty
kicks.
Melia was also the league’s Comeback
Player of the Year in 2015, his first season
with Kansas City.
The 6-foot-1 keeper’s career started in 2010
when he was signed by Real Salt Lake — but he
never appeared in a league match with the club.
He played in six matches for Chivas from
2012 until he was waived in 2014.
Originally signed by Kansas City as backup
to Luis Marin, Melia started the team’s ninth
league match of 2015 and won the starting nod
with shutouts in six of his first nine starts.
As far as goalkeepers go in Major League
Soccer, Melia’s performance against the
Galaxy (remarkably) didn’t even put him atop
the saves list: That honor belongs to RSL’s
Nick Rimando with 22 saves in five matches
so far this season.
NYCFC’s Sean Johnson has 21 saves, while
Melia and Minnesota’s Matt Lampson each
have 20.
GAME OF THE WEEK
While on the topic of goalkeepers, Melia
will face counterpart Stefan Frei when Kansas
City hosts the Seattle Sounders on Sunday.
The Sounders are still looking for their first
win of the season with three losses.
THE ZLATAN EFFECT
The Chicago Fire announced that Saturday’s
game against the Galaxy at Toyota Park is a sell-
out. The match will be Ibrahimovic’s first on
the road this season and he’ll be reunited with
former Manchester United teammate Bastian
Schweinsteiger, who now plays for the Fire.

The International Biathlon Union said
Wednesday its headquarters have been raided by
Austrian police investigating the body’s presi-
dent and secretary general.
The wife of Anders Besseberg, who has been
the IBU’s president since it was founded in
1993, told The Associated Press the police
investigation was related to doping allegations.
The IBU said secretary general Nicole Resch
“has requested a leave of absence” because of the
investigation, but didn’t comment on
Besseberg’s future. The IBU didn’t say what the

“responsible” for the case. The prosecutor did
not immediately comment on the investigation.
Wenche Besseberg said the investigation was
related to testimony given by Russian doping
whistleblower Grigory Rodchenkov. Anders
Besseberg was not immediately available for
comment.
Norwegian broadcaster NRK published an
interview with Rodchenkov on Wednesday in
which he said the IBU had colluded with Russian
anti-doping authorities to cover up suspicious
blood tests by the country’s athletes in previous
years.
Several Russian athletes have been sanc-
tioned for doping in recent years, including
Olympic medalists from the 2014 Sochi Games,
where Russia has been accused of operating a
doping scheme and cover-up.

groove. The Gators would finish with 10 runs
on 10 hits, and while they banged the ball
around the park later in the game, the Gators
rode some timely hitting to take control of the
game in the second inning, scoring four times
on just two hits. With one out, Eric DeBrine
reached when he beat out a dribbler up the first-
base line. He stole second, went to third on a
wild pitch and scored on a Kyle Cody ground-
out. Jack FitzSimons was hit by a pitch to put
two runners on base — Ryan Freire had drawn
a walk prior to Cody’s RBI — and both run-
ners came home when Jack Donnelly lofted an
opposite-field triple to right. Donnelly would
then score on wild pitch to put the Gators up 4-
0.
“The two staples of baseball are pitching
and defense. Offense comes and goes,”
Granato said. “It’s important to know in those
situations … to take what the game gives
you.”
From there, SHP added on every inning. In
the third, DeBrine crushed an RBI triple to the
right-center field gap to drive in John
McGrory, who had reached on a fielder’s
choice. DeBrine would then scamper home on
0.
Two more runs were scored in the fourth
when McGrory dumped a bloop single into
no-man’s land in shallow left-center field as
the Knights’ shortstop, left fielder and center
fielder all failed to get to the ball. Yianni
Gardner and Reece Lindquist, who had both
singled, scored on the play to give SHP an 8-
0 lead.
Gardner then punctuated the victory with a
two-run double in the fifth, plating
FitzSimons and Donnelly, who had both sin-
gled ahead of Gardner.
Hillsdale (2-3, 10-5) scratched out a run in
top of the seventh off SHP reliever Parker
Isaacson. Tommy Karpishin, who got the start
and the loss for the Knights, led off the inning
with a walk before stealing both second and
third base. He would come home on Jeremy
Chong’s bunt single.
With the Bay Division getting back to a full
schedule after spring breaks over the last three
weeks, now is the time for teams to start mak-
ing a move. Granato believes his team is ready
to start ramping up for a race for the Bay
Division title, while also gearing up for the
playoffs.
“High school baseball is more of a roller-
coaster ride,” Granato said. “Now’s the time,
as a team, we should click on all cylinders. NATHAN MOLLAT/DAILY JOURNAL

have to be a rocket scientist to understand
the game. It’s all about speed, open field
moves and quick matches. A full game lasts
about 20 minutes before the next two teams
trot out for their match. That’s three match-
es in an hour. Usually it’s the other way
around: three hours to watch one football,
basketball or baseball game.
Watch a couple matches and the game is
easy to figure out: the ultimate goal is to
score a “try,” what you may be more famil-
iar with as a “touchdown.” The other big rule
is the ball can only be passed backward. All
the other technical stuff —  scrums, line-
outs, etc. — can be figured out on the fly.
You almost won’t even care about the
in awe of the size, power and speed these
athletes possess. Players who would be on
the offensive line or linebackers in football
are defense-punishing ball carriers in rugby.
It’s not uncommon to see a player listed at
6-5, 220 pounds have uncanny agility and
quickness. Then there are the true speed
burners, who would give any world-class
sprinter a run for his money.
The seedings for the 24-team event are
based on the 2016-17 and the first half of
the 2018 World Rugby Seven Series, as well
as a World Series qualifying tournament.
The host USA Eagles were given the No. 5
seed, behind four of the sport’s traditional
powers: South African (No. 1), Fiji (No. 2),
New Zealand (No. 3) and England (No. 4).
The United States is seeded ahead of such
rugby stalwarts as Scotland (No. 7), Samoa
(No. 13) and Tonga (No. 24).
To be fair, a lot of those nations known to
slow to the sevens game. The United States,
on the other hand, has really focused on
building the sevens program, winning the
Las Vegas tournament title last month. The
national 11-man team, however, continues
to slowly gain ground on the rest of the
world.
A 16-team women’s tournament will also
be going on at the same time, with New
Zealand being the top-ranked team. The
U.S. women, like the men, are the No. 5
seed.
There is even a local angle to the tourna-
ment. Folau Niua (Palo Alto, Woodside High
School) and Danny Barrett (Pacifica, Sacred
Heart Cathedral) are well entrenched starters
for the men’s team, while Sequoia alum
Bulou Mataitoga is in the women’s team’s
players pool.
So if you see a line of baby-blue clad,
blue-wig wearing, whistle-blowing, danc-
San Francisco in July, don’t worry, it’s most
likely a group of Fiji supporters. If you
keep hearing the term “All Blacks” being
bandied about, don’t get offended. It’s just
the name given to the New Zealand squad.
Fans of Wallabies and Springboks, dressed
in shades of greens and yellows, will be on
hand to support Australia and South Africa.
And of course there will be plenty of stars
and stripes.
Whether you’re a die-hard USA Eagles fan
or want to root for the homeland of your
ancestors, it’s all fair game. Because when it
comes to rugby, in my limited experience, it
doesn’t really matter who you root for, as
long as you’re having a good time.

DENVER — Colorado Rockies
star Nolan Arenado charged the
mound after a fastball from San
Diego starter Luis Perdomo sailed
behind him, setting off a wild brawl
that resulted in five ejections during
a testy series at Coors Field.
Perdomo tossed his glove at a
furious Arenado, and the big-hitting
third baseman started throwing
punches at the pitcher in the third
inning Wednesday. The benches
cleared and relievers ran in from the
bullpen. Arenado yelled at Padres
catcher A.J. Ellis and had to be held
back, with San Diego bench coach
Mark McGwire helping keep them
separated.
The night before, Rockies reliev-
er Scott Oberg hit San Diego center
fielder Manuel Margot in the ribs.
Margot was placed on the 10-day
disabled list on Wednesday.
That carried over to Wednesday
when Rockies shortstop Trevor
Story was hit in the first inning and
Padres right fielder Hunter Renfroe
was plunked in the second.
The umpires met for several min-
utes before ejecting Perdomo, Ellis,
Arenado, Rockies pitcher German
Marquez and Colorado outfielder
Gerardo Parra.
Colorado would go on to win the
game 6-4.

Gardening: Quick and easy strawberries
By Lee Reich
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Given how quickly strawberries
begin to bear fruit and how easily
they are grown, it’s a wonder that
strawberry beds aren’t as common
in backyards as lawns are in front
yards.
The most compelling reason to
grow strawberries is, of course,
flavor.
Variety selection and premature
harvest make grocers’ berries
large and firm, but usually not
much else. In your backyard,
though, you can grow the most
flavorful varieties, and wait to
pick them until they’re sweet and
oozing strawberry-ness. At that
point, perishability doesn’t mat-
ter because the berries need not
travel further than arm’s length to
your mouth or a basket.
KINDS OF STRAWBERRIES
Depending on how soon you
want to start eating strawberries,
choose between “everbearers” and
“junebearers.”
Everbearers offer the quickest
crops, less than three months after
planting, and bear all season
long. Tristar is among the best of
these types. Some of the older
types bear in spring and fall only.
Junebearers come in greater
variety and yield more, but wait to
bear their first crop until the year
after planting. Once started, they
bear once per season, in spring or
early summer. Planting two or
more different junebearing vari-
eties can extend the harvest.
Everbearers offer the quickest crops, less than three months after planting, and bear all season long.
GROWING STRAWBERRIES
Spring is a good time to plant
strawberries, although they can
also be planted in late summer or
fall — if you can get plants then.
Your new plants may look for-
lorn, but don’t worry. They soon
grow new roots and leaves. In fact,
you can shear their roots back to 3
or 4 inches long with a scissors so
SUBURBAN LIVING
you can more easily fan them out
in the planting hole. Adjust the
planting depth carefully, leaving
only the top half-inch of the
crown exposed so that it neither
dries out from exposure nor suffo-
cates from burial.
Ever wonder how such a luscious
fruit came to be called “strawber-
ry”? The name might reflect the
plants’ habit of strewing about
with runners, which are horizontal
stems punctuated along their
length by daughter plants. The
daughter plants eventually root
and make their own runners.
The name “strawberry” might
also come from a centuries-old
favorite mulch for strawberries:
straw. No matter how the strawber-
ry got its name, the plants love to
be mulched. Mulch keeps the soil
Thursday • April 12, 2018 17
moist, suppresses weeds and
keeps the fruit cleaner. Give straw-
berries a year-round, organic
mulch.
ADOPT A PLANTING SYSTEM
Spacing for strawberry plants
depends on your method of grow-
ing them.
With the “hill system, ” you
plant them close together — 9
inches apart in a double row, with
9 inches between rows — and
avoid future crowding by pinching
off all runners. More plants are
needed to get started, but initial
yields are highest. This system is
especially suited to those
junebearing varieties that natural-
ly develop fewer runners, and to
everbearers.
With the “matted row system,”
you set plants at wide spacing —
24 inches apart in single rows,
with 4 feet between rows — and
allow plants to make runners like
crazy. Fewer plants are needed to
get started, but the first crop is
smaller than with the hill system.
Never allow the mat of mother
and daughter plants to spread wider
than 18 inches, and periodically
thin out crowded plants.
No matter which system you
adopt, pinch off all flowers that
appear during the month after
planting in order to coax plants to
put their energy into growing
strong roots. One advantage of
everbearers is that they continue
to flower after that month of
pinching, which means you get to
pick fruits later this season from
this spring’s planting!

too quickly.
“We are rushing this through … we need
to properly plan,” said Lee, citing fears
regarding school enrollment growth gener-
ated by the development, as well as strain
on city infrastructure and concerns over
affordable housing.
Lee sought givebacks from Michael Van
Every, Republic Family of Companies CEO
and president of development, who largely
turned down the attempts to ramp up the
affordable housing component.
“This deal is the threshold. We can’t go
any further,” said Van Every, who at the
meeting last month prior to receiving ini-
tial approval offered additional affordable
units at the request of Holober.
meeting affirms the tentative construction
map, development agreement and other
documents pre-empting groundbreaking,
which Van Every said his company would
like to start as soon as possible.
The project is still subject to design
review and additional planning, which is
where some of the detailed issues raised at
the April 10 meeting will be addressed.
Beyond affordability and infrastructure
concerns, officials vetted terms of the shut-
tle access, landscaping, open space and
more.
Regarding site access, Papan said she
favored city officials authorizing a forth-
coming traffic study. She claimed officials
should select the company to do the study,
for fear of a firm hired by the developer pub-
lishing favorable results.
“I think the interest of the developer will
be too controlling of the outcome,” she
said.
terms though, and ultimately he was backed
by a majority of the councilmembers. The
two sides settled on allowing officials to
co-sign the firm ultimately selected to do
the study.
Papan was not dead set on seeking give-
backs from the developer though, suggest-
ing she believed the city and other nearby
builders could contribute to a safety wall
that needs to be constructed on El Camino
Real.
“It is inappropriate for one developer to
be responsible for this,” Papan said of the
wall still needing to be approved by
Caltrans, which oversees construction on
El Camino Real. Van Every said his compa-
ny would contribute $75,000 to the proj-
ect, and the rest of the cost could be split
with other parties.
One of the builders who may face the addi-
tional cost is Vince Muzzi, who is propos-
ing 444 housing units, more than 290,000
13,200 square feet of retail space in one
nine-story and two 10-story towers at the
city’s rail stop.
As was the case for the Gateway at
Millbrae Station project, Millbrae officials
granted their initial approval for Muzzi’s
development with an eye on hammering out
final details later. The issue is slated to
return at a subsequent meeting.
Throughout the deliberation process
regarding development near the train sta-
tion, Lee has been the most staunch critic,
citing fears the projects have not been ade-
quately examined.
“I’m not saying we shouldn’t build this,
I’m saying we should properly plan to sup-
port all the new residents,” he said of the
Gateway project.
Yet despite the concerns, the final sound
heard following the vote was applause from
the development team celebrating their
approval.

Khoury said he was attracted to Redwood

with award-winning designer Michael
Brennan to handle the restaurant’s interior,
which is meant to have the feel of a court-
house or law library. The space is outfitted
with leather-paneled walls, Pullman booths
and wrought iron light fixtures and chande-
liers, along with various themed props,
including a podium and scales of justice.
The redesign transformed the right exteri-
or window into a second entrance to the bar
and lounge area, which seats 34 and is a sep-
arate space from the main dining room,
which seats 66. A heated and trellis-shaded
outdoor patio seats 75, and will host private
and culinary events in the future.
Massarweh said the restaurant’s menu was
ed at 2021 Broadway, near Main Street, in
input. He said there was especially high
demand for an after-work bar serving craft
cocktails that isn’t always packed.
City’s growth, and he and his partners had
been trying to find a place in town for the
past three years.
“We love it on Broadway, which I think is
the best street in Redwood City, with lots of
great restaurants and room for a lot more,”
he said.
Bay Area natives Hanani and Khoury are
new to the restaurant industry, but surround-
ed by seasoned restaurateurs: Fakhouri
owned Mandaloun and co-founded the
Crepevine chain, while Massarweh, in addi-
tion to chef and restaurant consulting work,
has opened his own line of restaurants,
including Wildfox in Novato and Nico’s
1508 in Berkeley.

Three accusers confront Cosby; one calls him a ‘serial rapist’
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NORRISTOWN, Pa. — Decades after
they say Bill Cosby knocked them out
with intoxicants and sexually assault-
ed them, three of his accusers con-
fronted the 80-year-old comedian in
court Wednesday, with one woman
pointedly calling him a “serial rapist”
and another asking him through her
tears, “You remember, don’t you, Mr.
Cosby?”
The women’s charged rhetoric
prompted several mistrial requests
from Cosby’s lawyers — which were
denied — as prosecutors built their
case that Cosby was one of
Hollywood’s biggest predators long
before he met Andrea Constand, the

Continued from page 1
grams against Bolanos’ experience
and past history with the office and its
recent challenges.
Both Melville and Bolanos pegged
staffing as an ongoing strain on the
office as the rising cost of living in
the region presents difficulties for
agencies seeking to hire qualified per-
sonnel. Having served as sheriff since
he was appointed in 2016 and as under-
sheriff since 2007, Bolanos acknowl-
edged the shortage of qualified person-
nel has required him to consider asking
officers to work overtime or make
adjustments to the number of person-
nel hired with special expertise, such
as investigators.
“We’re struggling to fill our posi-
tions as is all law enforcement in the
region,” he said.
Melville said the staffing shortage
has resulted in a tense working envi-
ronment in which overworked person-
nel are required to work an extra 12-
hour shift every week, leaving room
for errors and slow response times.
“I see deficits in every department,”
he said. “We’re obviously short a lot
of personnel and that hasn’t helped
us.”
Melville said the training officers
receive has also suffered in recent
years, for both mid-level and new offi-
cers, who would benefit from working
with experienced officers and develop-
ing interpersonal skills that can de-
escalate crisis situations, and added he
would support a greater focus on mak-
ing sure personnel are getting the
appropriate training given their expe-
rience levels.
“That’s where I think our training
programs need to be a little bit longer
and a little more personal,” he said.
While Bolanos acknowledged over-

in the case of a casi-
no bartender from Reno, Nevada, sim-
ply looking for a fun time. All of them
testified they wound up unconscious
from the pills or alcohol he gave them,
unable to say no or resist as he had his
way with them.
“I was raped,” declared the former
bartender, Janice Baker-Kinney, who
time levels are currently high at the
Sheriff’s Office, he pointed to a good
working relationship with the union
as an indication morale would remain
very good in the months to come.
Despite the pressures of overtime and
understaffing, Bolanos added his office
has been able to maintain public safe-
ty in the county as well as a $16 mil-
lion surplus while at the helm of the
Sheriff’s Office.
Bolanos said sound financial man-
agement of the Sheriff’s Office’s costs
has allowed for necessary investment
in equipment and services, adding the
new Siebel Firearms Range at the
Coyote Point Recreational Area was
funded mostly through private dona-
tions and without having to ask coun-
ty officials for additional funds.
With experience as the city manager
of Livingston and as the police chief
and city manager of Gustine, Melville
said he’s well-positioned to shape pol-
icy and chart out a new structure for the
office. Though he pegged training and
recruiting as top priorities if he were
elected, Melville said much of the
change he envisions for the Sheriff’s
Office comes down to a philosophical
difference on how the organization
should be run, favoring a ground-up
approach in which all officers and the
public can inform a predictive polic-
ing model. Melville said he’s observed
many divisions staffed with senior
personnel where they’re not needed,
making the organization top heavy.
“We hire a lot of people with expert-
ise that we don’t use, and that’s very
frustrating to me,” he said.
Melville’s motivation to put his hat
in the ring is rooted in a desire to give
county residents chance to elect their
sheriff, noting Bolanos’ appointment
to the role by the Board of Supervisors
two years ago when his predecessor
Greg Munks stepped down before the
end of his third term was rushed and
should have been handled differently.

was 24 when she says Cosby gave her
pills she suspected to be quaaludes and
had sex with her in 1982.
Cosby’s lawyers say Baker-Kinney,
who now works as a stage manager on
pro sports broadcasts in the San
Francisco area, took the drug willing-
ly.
Another accuser, sobbing uncontrol-
lably as she testified, told jurors she
got to know Cosby through a family
connection as a 17-year-old aspiring
model and actress. Chelan Lasha said
Cosby gave her a little blue pill he
described as an antihistamine to help
her get over a cold, along with two
shots of amaretto “to help break up the
cough.” The combination immobilized
her and rendered her unable to speak.
“Everything’s been handed down,
and I said ‘that’s wrong,’” he said. “We
need to allow the people of San Mateo
County to elect their sheriff.”
A 2007 scandal in which Bolanos,
who was undersheriff at the time, and
then sheriff Greg Munks were discov-
ered at a Las Vegas brothel during
“Operation Dollhouse,” a series of
raids by local and federal authorities,
has trailed Bolanos, even though he
confirmed with the Daily Journal a pre-
vious statement that he did not step
foot in the brothel. Both Bolanos and
Munks, who were in town for 120-mile
law enforcement run known as the
Baker to Vegas Challenge Cup Relay,
were detained for a short time and
released and neither was arrested or
charged.
Bolanos said he’s been staying
focused on running the office instead
of being distracted by talk of the inci-
dent, pegging county law enforce-
ment’s engagement in the community
and a strong sense of the Sheriff’s
Office role in addressing fears in the
county’s immigrant population about
the U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement activities in recent
months are among his proudest
achievements during his tenure.
He said programs like the Sheriff’s
Activities League, which offers after-
school programs in areas like unincor-
porated North Fair Oaks, and the
Community Alliance to Revitalize Our
Neighborhood, have gone a long way
to establish trust between local
enforcement and the community and
played an instrumental role in spread-
ing the word about the county’s policy
that it does not directly enforce federal
immigration laws.
“For the criminal justice system to
work, people need to trust law enforce-
ment,” he said. “They need to report
crimes … they need to participate in
the system or else all of us become less
safe.”

able for examination in the file kept by

give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent

jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.

9:00 a.m., Department 28, Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo,

tion, you should appear at the hearing

objections with the court before the hear-
ing. Your appearance may be in person

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-
tice form is available from the court clerk.

Continued from page 1
in people’s lives and I think that it is
inevitable that there will need to be some
regulation,” Zuckerberg said during testi-
mony before the House Energy and
Commerce Committee. “So my position is
not that there should be no regulation but I
also think that you have to be careful about
regulation you put in place.”
Larger, more dominant companies like
Facebook have the resources to comply
with government regulation, he said, but
“that might be more difficult for a smaller
startup to comply with.”
Lawmakers in both parties have floated
possible regulation of Facebook and other
tech companies amid privacy scandals and
Russian intervention on the platform. It’s
not clear what that regulation would look
like and Zuckerberg didn’t offer any
specifics.
Zuckerberg was answering a question from
Rep. Anna Eshoo, D-Calif. , when he
informed lawmakers about his personal
data, a reference to the Cambridge Analytica
scandal that has rocked his company over
the past several weeks.
His remarks came as he opened the second
day of a congressional inquisition in the
wake of the worst privacy debacle in his
company’s history. A day earlier Zuckerberg
batted away often-aggressive questioning
from senators who accused him of failing to
protect the personal information of mil-
lions of Americans from Russians intent on
upsetting the U.S. election.
The stakes are high for both Zuckerberg

and his company. Facebook has been reel-
ing from its worst-ever privacy failure fol-
lowing revelations last month that the
political data-mining firm Cambridge
Analytica, which was affiliated with
Trump’s 2016 campaign, improperly
scooped up data on about 87 million users.
Zuckerberg has been on an apology tour for
most of the past two weeks, culminating in
his congressional appearances this week.
But what comes next is unclear.
Lawmakers said repeatedly they think
Facebook should probably be regulated. But
there was no consensus at all on that point
— what exactly should be regulated, or even
what the biggest problems are.
Members pressed Zuckerberg on the com-
pany’s privacy policies and often declared
that Facebook needs to do more to protect
user data. Several lawmakers touted bills
they’ve introduced. But there was no clear
thread among them as to how, or if, the gov-
ernment should step in.
Rep. Frank Pallone of New Jersey, the
committee’s top ranking Democrat, sounded
pessimistic that Congress will pass any-
thing.
“I’ve just seen it over and over again —
that we have the hearings, and nothing hap-
pens,” Pallone said.
Rep. Greg Walden, R-Ore., the committee
chairman, asked Zuckerberg if it ever
crossed his mind several years ago when
user data was being extracted from Facebook
“that you should be communicating more
clearly with users that Facebook is monetiz-
ing their data.” Information about users “is
probably the most valuable thing about
Facebook,” Walden added.
Zuckerberg said that Facebook allows
people to decide whether and how they want
their information shared. But he said his
company “can do a better job of explaining
how advertising works.”
After a testy exchange with Zuckerberg,
Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Colo. , said
Congress should consider imposing “really
robust penalties” for social media compa-
nies that repeatedly compromise user infor-
mation.
“We continue to have these abuses and
these data breaches,” DeGette said. “But at
the same time it doesn’t seem like future
activities are prevented.”
Facebook’s stock rose slightly in
Wednesday’s early afternoon trading, pro-
viding an indication that investors are bet-
ting the company’s ability to sell ads based
on the personal information that it collects
won’t be hampered by whatever action
Congress might take. But Facebook’s stock
remains 10 percent below where it stood
before news of the privacy scandal broke
last month, a decline that has wiped out

about $50 billion in shareholder wealth.
During roughly five hours of questioning
by members of the Senate Judiciary and
Commerce committees on Tuesday,
Zuckerberg apologized several times for
Facebook failures. He also disclosed that
his company was “working with” special
counsel Robert Mueller in the federal probe
of Russian election interference and said it
was working hard to change its own opera-
tions in the wake of the Cambridge
Analytica revelations.
Seemingly unimpressed, Republican Sen.
John Thune of South Dakota said
Zuckerberg’s company had a 14-year histo-
ry of apologizing for “ill-advised deci-
sions” related to user privacy. “How is
today’s apology different?” Thune asked.
As for the federal Russia probe that has
occupied much of Washington’s attention
for months, he said he had not been inter-
viewed by special counsel Mueller’s team,
but “I know we’re working with them.” He
offered no details, citing a concern about
confidentiality rules of the investigation.
Earlier this year Mueller charged 13
Russian individuals and three Russian com-
panies in a plot to interfere in the 2016
presidential election through a social media
propaganda effort that included online ad
purchases using U.S. aliases and politick-
