What is likely Half Moon Bay’s largest

City to make state housing law fixes
San Mateo housing rules realigned, including for in-law units
By Anna Schuessler
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
In an effort to make San Mateo’s hous-
ing ordinances consistent with new state
laws aimed at paving the way for new
housing developments, a set of minor zon-
ing code adjustments is up for adoption at
Monday’s City Council meeting.
The changes to city rules with regard to
the density bonuses available to develop-
ers if they meet certain requirements, the
parking requirements for accessory
dwelling units and zoning for residential
density are needed to align the set of city
codes developers and homeowners look to
in designing new projects with a slate of
new state laws expected to expedite the
planning process for new developments,
said city planner Julia Klein.
Klein acknowledged the city codes are
largely consistent with the new state laws,
and that changes are expected to make the
city and state regulations consistent.
Adjusting the city’s rules with regard to
accessory dwelling units, or ADUs or in-
laws, has been an ongoing effort, as offi-
cials adopted a new set of regulations last
year and are set to reduce the maximum
parking required for ADUs to one space per
unit or one space per bedroom, whichever
is less, in the changes up for review this
year. Providing parking exemptions for

ADUs located within one block of a car-
share vehicle is also included in the set.
Independently of the state laws, Klein
said the city has also explored a 30 percent
plan check fee reduction for ADUs in the
last year to see if the reduction could invite
more applications and that feedback on
the city’s ADU permitting process will be
reviewed later this year.
A set of new laws amending the state’s
density bonus law extended incentives to
developments dedicated for foster youth,
disabled veterans and the homeless as well
as streamlined the procedure for requesting
and granting a density bonus, among other
changes. Included among the shifts in city
code needed to shore up with the new laws
are requiring developers to document how
the concessions or incentives they are
requesting result in cost reductions for a
given project, as well as asking develop-
ers of mixed-use projects to clearly show
how concessions in the form of parking
reductions only apply to residential units,
according to a report prepared by Klein.
Senate Bill 166, colloquially known as
the “no net loss” legislation, requires
cities to show how units or affordability
levels lost in projects in which fewer units
or changes in the affordability levels are
proposed will be accommodated at other
sites in the city to meet its share of the
regional housing needs allocation.
Because San Mateo is a charter city, these
provisions do not automatically apply so
the city will amend its code so it is exempt
from the provisions, affording the city
more flexibility in decision-making on
individual housing developments while
also ensuring the provision of affordable
units through the city’s requirements and
its compliance with the state housing ele-
ment, according to the report.
In continuing to study the planning
processes for housing projects, Klein was
hopeful the combined efforts of develop-
ers, agencies and community members
could keep housing options open and mit-
igate the effects of the regional housing
shortage.
“Certainly in the Bay Area we do have
housing a shortage, and that is a Bay Area
challenge,” she said. “I think there’s not
one sort of policy or one section of the
zoning code that’s going to fix that.”

Barbara was born in San Mateo, California, to Robert and
Jeanette Helgesen and attended Hillsdale High School, where
she returned on occasion in later years to participate in the Old Knights luncheons.
Barbara graduated from what is now University of West Georgia in Carrollton, Georgia,
where she also developed many life-long friendships. Barbara returned to the Peninsula
and worked at several software companies before her favorite job came along at Sugo
Music. Barbara also enjoyed all things sports. Since Barbara was born the same year as
Disneyland’s construction, there is a theory that she may have been a twin of Disneyland,
somehow separated at birth. Barbara’s passion was helping others, especially those with
a permanent fur coat. One of Barbara’s many aspirations was to be more involved in the
no-kill animal shelters she contributed to financially.
Barbara is survived by her partner, Brent MacQueen; brother, Robert Helgesen
(Mary); nieces Kelsey and Zoe; “godchildren” Leanne, Jillian, Shelly, Zach, Josh, and
Suzanne; “grand-godchildren” Kinley and Elliot, and her cat, Beach.
Friends and family are invited to a pet-friendly “Love You More” celebration of
Barbara’s life on Saturday, April 28th, at the Half Moon Bay Yacht Club (214 Princeton

California governor creates
committee on census outreach
SACRAMENTO — California Gov. Jerry Brown has creat-
ed a committee to help ensure the 2020 census reflects an
accurate count of the state’s population,
his office announced Friday.
An accurate census count is essential to
the state because it determines represen-
tation in Congress and federal funding,
said Brown, a Democrat.
His announcement came amid worries
that immigrants will be afraid to partici-
pate in the census because of a citizen-
ship question the federal government is
Jerry Brown adding to the survey.
California is suing to bar that question
from the census. California could be particularly affected if
the question deters participation due to its large immigrant
population.
Republican President Donald Trump’s administration
argues the question will help the government enforce vot-
ing rights by providing data on voting-age citizens.
The 25-member committee will submit a report in
October outlining outreach ideas to ensure Californians par-
ticipate in the census count. It includes experts in commu-
nications, civic engagement, immigration and other areas.
Brown said the committee comprises a diverse cross-sec-
tion of the state.
Police: Woman who drove SUV
with family off cliff was drunk
SAN FRANCISCO — A woman was drunk when she drove
her large family off a Northern California cliff last month
and her wife and several children had large amounts of a drug
in their systems that can cause drowsiness, authorities said
Friday.
Police had previously said they believed the Hart family
died in a suicide plunge from a scenic overlook. The crash
happened just days after authorities in Washington state
opened an investigation following allegations the children
were being neglected.
Preliminary toxicology tests found Jennifer Hart had an
alcohol level of 0.102, said California Patrol Capt. Bruce
Carpenter. California drivers are considered drunk with a
level of 0.08 or higher.
Toxicology tests also found that her wife Sarah Hart and
two of their children had “a significant amount” of an ingre-
dient commonly found in the allergy drug Benadryl, which
can make people sleepy. Toxicology results for a third child
killed are still pending, Carpenter said.

Ryan anoints McCarthy to be

his successor as House speaker
By Lisa Mascaro
and Bill Barrow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — House
Speaker Paul Ryan has endorsed
his top lieutenant, Rep. Kevin
McCarthy, to be his successor,
giving a significant boost to the
Californian’s candidacy in hopes
of averting a divisive contest that
could make an already difficult
election year even tougher for
divided Republicans.
“We all think that Kevin is the
right person,” Ryan, R-Wis., said
in an interview that will air
Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the
Press.”
Ryan said that while he believes
McCarthy can line up enough
votes now to win the job, he does-
n’t want a campaign for the
party’s top job to sidetrack GOP
lawmakers at a crucial time. Ryan
has said he will serve as speaker
through the year, though some in
the party want him to leave earli-
er.
“All these other things would
be needless distractions from the
task at hand” of pushing GOP leg-
islation and “fighting for our
majority,” Ryan said.
McCarthy, the House majority
leader, is
viewed as con-
tending for
Ryan’s job with
No. 3 House
GOP leader
Steve Scalise of
Louisiana.

Trump’s unpopularity and a wave

Trump pardons former Cheney aide Scooter Libby Local brief

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — President
Donald Trump issued a full pardon
Friday to I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby,
a former top aide to Vice President
Dick Cheney.
Trump said he does not know
Libby, but “for years I have heard
that he has been treated unfairly.

At approximately 4:53 a.m., the
man, identified as Teodoro Garcia,

in the crosswalk and made no
attempt to stop. Witness informa-
tion led to the vehicle being locat-

woman had major injuries and is
being treated at the hospital,
according to police.

Trump vows to back law to
protect marijuana industry
By Nicholas Riccardi
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — President Donald Trump has
promised to support legislation protecting
the marijuana industry in states that have
legalized the drug, a move that could lift a
threat to the industry made by the U.S. attor-
ney general just three months ago.
Republican Sen. Cory Gardner of
Colorado said Friday that Trump made the
pledge to him in a Wednesday night conver-
sation.
It marked the latest flip by the president
who pledged while he was campaigning to
respect states that legalized marijuana but
also criticized legalization and implied it
should be stopped.
Gardner has been pushing to reverse a
decision made by Attorney General Jeff
Sessions in January that removed prohibi-
tions that kept federal prosecutors from pur-
suing cases against people who were fol-
lowing pot laws in states such as Colorado
that have legalized the drug.
Marijuana has been fully legalized in
eight states, and 24 states allow some form
of marijuana use.
“President Trump has assured me that he
will support a federalism-based legislative
solution to fix this states’ rights issue once
and for all,” Gardner said in a statement.
White House spokeswoman Sarah
Huckabee Sanders said Gardner’s account
THE DAILY JOURNAL
REUTERS
was accurate and the pres-
ident supported states’
rights in the matter.
Gardner hopes to intro-
duce bipartisan legisla-
tion keeping the federal
government from inter-
fering in state marijuana
markets.
Jeff Sessions Marijuana legalization
advocates were ebullient.
“We may now be seeing the light at the
end of the tunnel,” said Mason Tvert, who
spearheaded the 2012 ballot measure legal-
izing recreational marijuana in Colorado.
“This is one more step toward ending the
irrational policy of marijuana prohibition,
not only in Colorado but throughout the
country.”
Other marijuana supporters were wary
given the president’s record of reversing
positions and pledges of legislative sup-
port.
“This cannot be another episode of
(at)realDonaldTrump telling somebody
whatever they want to hear, only to change
directions later on,” U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden
of Oregon, a Democrat, wrote on Twitter.
Opponents of legalization said they were
concerned. “We hope the president — who
doesn’t want to be known as the ‘Pot
President’ — will reverse course soon,” said
Kevin Sabet, founder of Smart Approaches
to Marijuana.

Trump cries ‘slime ball’ after

former FBI director slams him
By Zeke Miller
and Jonathan Lemire
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — President Donald

Trump laced into James Comey as an
“untruthful slime ball” on Friday as the
White House and the national
Republican Party mounted a withering
counterattack against the former FBI
director and his stinging new memoir.
Comey is embarking on a publicity
rollout of his book, “A Higher
Loyalty,” which offers his version of
the highly controversial events sur-
rounding his firing by Trump and the
Russia and Hillary Clinton email
investigations. In the book, Comey
compares Trump to a mob boss
demanding loyalty, suggests he’s unfit
to lead and mocks the president’s
appearance.
Press secretary Sarah Sanders stood
at the White House podium Friday and
called Comey “a liar and a leaker”
whose loyalty is “only to himself,”
adding that Comey will “be forever
known as a disgraced partisan hack.”
Reading from prepared notes, she
declared, “This is nothing more than a
poorly executed PR stunt by Comey to
desperately rehabilitate his tattered
reputation and enrich his own bank
account by peddling a book that
belongs on the bargain bin of the fic-
tion section.”
Anticipating broad media attention
for Comey as his book tour gets under-
way, Sanders scolded reporters in
advance for preparing to “cover it end-
lessly, all day today, all day tomorrow,
and my guess is every day next week
with very little time given to the
issues that people care about.”

FBI probes Trump lawyer Cohen’s personal‘business dealings’
By Larry Neumeister and Tom Hays
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Federal prosecutors
revealed on Friday that their probe of
President Donald Trump’s personal
lawyer, Michael Cohen, involved sus-
pected fraud and the attorney’s personal
business dealings and was going on
long enough that investigators had
already covertly obtained his emails.
The details in court papers came as
lawyers for Cohen and Trump sought to
block the Department of Justice from
examining records and electronic
devices, including two cellphones,
seized by the FBI on Monday from
Cohen’s residences, office and safety
deposit box.
The raids enraged Trump, who called
them an “attack on the country.” Trump,
a Republican, sent his own lawyer to a
hastily arranged hearing before a federal

Fury,” which caught the White House
unawares when it was published in
January, the administration had weeks
to polish its rebuttal rhetoric for
Comey’s book. Officials responded to
the Wolff book by belatedly pointing
out factual inaccuracies. In responding
to Comey, the White House is choos-
ing not to engage on specific claims,
which have been reviewed by lawyers
for accuracy, instead launching a
broadside effort to undermine Comey’s
credibility.
Sanders accused Comey of leaking
classified information and breaking
his “sacred trust with the president of
the United States, the dedicated agents
of the FBI and the American people.”
The Republican National Committee
helped with the pushback effort
against Comey by launching a website
and supplying surrogates with talking

the records and com-
munications seized
were confidential

of their legal memo in which they
described what laws they believe Cohen

new clues about an investigation the

previously declined to confirm existed.

points that question his credibility.
Comey acknowledged in congres-
sional testimony last year that after he
was fired he helped leak his personal,
but unclassified, memos of his conver-
sations with Trump to a reporter. In
previous testimony, however, he said
he never authorized an FBI subordinate
to leak information about investiga-
tions of Trump or Clinton.
Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew
McCabe was fired last month, days
before his retirement, following an
internal review that accused him of
being untruthful about his role in the
leaking of damaging information on
the Clinton email investigation.
McCabe has suggested that Comey
authorized the leak — a claim disputed
in the independent inspector general
report, which says McCabe allegedly
misled Comey about the disclosure.
do with his work as an attorney, but
rather relate to Cohen’s own business
dealings,” said the filing, signed by
Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas
McKay. Prosecutors said they took the
unusual step of raiding Cohen’s resi-
dence and home rather than requesting
records by subpoena because what they
had learned led them to distrust he’d turn
over what they had asked for.
“Absent a search warrant, these
records could have been deleted without
record, and without recourse,” prosecu-
tors wrote. The document was filed pub-
licly after lawyers for Cohen appeared
before U.S. District Judge Kimba M.
Wood to ask that they, not Department
of Justice lawyers, be given the first
crack at reviewing the seized evidence to
see whether it was relevant to the inves-
tigation or could be forwarded to crimi-

More than 1,000 bodies of militant
fighters buried in Mosul mass grave
By Balint Szlanko
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MOSUL, Iraq — Authorities in Mosul have buried more
than 1,000 bodies in a mass grave in a desert valley out-
side the city, most of them believed to be Islamic State
group militants, according to a provincial official. More
remains are being dug out of the rubble of the district
where the fighters made their final stand last year.
Hundreds more bodies are still strewn across or buried in
Maydan district nine months after it was flattened in the
final battles to retake Mosul, creating one of the
grimmest scenes from a brutal war that was compared to
the worst urban combat of World War II.
During a recent visit by the Associated Press, pieces of
desiccated bodies, often in shreds of fighters’ uniforms,
were visible scattered in the ruins, which are also laced
with unexploded bombs and unused suicide belts. In one
place, the crown of a skull stuck out of the dirt, brilliant
white with a fringe of leathery scalp and hair. One man
lay crushed under the wreck of a car, his legs sticking up
in the air.
Most of the bodies appeared to belong to IS fighters
killed by airstrikes or shelling, their remains half-buried.
But there were also women and small children. The body
of baby girl, turned ghoulish brown, lay on the balcony
of a half-collapsed building, covered by bits of rubble.
The scene is testimony to Iraqi authorities’ lack of
resources and the overwhelming task they face in just dig-
ging out from the destruction wreaked across Mosul in the
9-month offensive by Iraqi forces backed by the U.S.-led
coalition that finally defeated IS here. Multiple neigh-
borhoods suffered heavy damage. Clearing of rubble is
largely financed by the United Nations’ development
agency, and repairs are proceeding slowly. In some areas,
streets have been cleared but many buildings remain shat-
tered.

Tumbling banks hold back S&P 500

NEW YORK — Bank stocks

analysts expected, and the sharp
declines overshadowed gains else-

JPMorgan Chase and several

strongest growth in seven years

OAKLAND — Kevin Durant is confi-

defending champions dominant on the
postseason stage again.

another remarkable run.

we can kind of learn from those tough

The Warriors have been hurt and
humbled. Beaten handily and beat up
hard. Two-time MVP Stephen Curry is
expected to be sidelined the entire first

It didn’t seem there was any way
Capuchino senior Max Stines was going to
get another at-bat. Then, when he did, it did-
n’t seem there was any way he was going to
stay in the game.
But Stines overcame to somehow score
the go-ahead run in the eighth inning of
Capuchino’s dramatic 5-3 extra-inning win
over Burlingame Friday night at
Washington Park.
“I’ve played here for three years,” said
Stines, a third-year varsity senior, “and I’ve
never heard this place that quiet.”
With Cap trailing 3-0 in the top of the
seventh, Stines led off the inning by strik-
ing out. But the Mustangs (3-2 PAL Bay, 6-
10 overall) ultimately sent nine batters to
the plate as Burlingame’s bullpen implod-
ed, issuing four walks and a hit batsman in
the inning, including 12 straight balls to
the bottom three hitters in the order.
The final walk of the frame to No. 9 hitter
Kenny Osterlund forced home the tying run.
In the eighth, two Burlingame pitchers
combined for three more walks, a hit bats-
man and four wild pitches. Stines, leading
off the inning, took a wicked fastball on his
right forearm. Play was halted for several
minutes while Stines, in obvious pain, lob-
bied to stay in the game.
“They needed me,” Stines said. “They said
be smart and don’t dive head first. Just score
the run. So I did what I had to do. They made
it easy for me, that’s for sure.”
That they did. Stines moved up three
times on three different wild pitches, the
final one allowing him to score from third
base to give Cap its first lead of the night.
And the senior got a hero’s welcome in the
Mustangs’ dugout.
“It was crazy in there,” Stines said. “They
were cautious to not touch my wrist. But
other than that we were pumped.”

SAN DIEGO — The old Tyson Ross is
back, which is a good thing for the San
Diego Padres.
Ross hit an RBI single with the bases

the San Francisco Giants
on Friday night.

Tyson Ross in the third inning of a
desultory 7-0 loss to the
Giants. According to the Elias Sports
Bureau, that was the first time a team’s lone
hit was by a pitcher who did not start the
game since June 28, 1935, when
Pittsburgh’s Mace Brown did it against the
Chicago Cubs after entering as a reliever.
“Our pitchers are raking right now,” San
Diego manager Andy Green said.
Ross said he was happier with his hit than
with his strong performance on the mound.
“RBI for sure, man. All pitchers wish we
could hit. That was fun,” he said.
Ross (2-1) allowed an unearned run on
seven hits while striking out five and walk-
ing one. He exited in the seventh after a sin-
gle and an error on shortstop Freddy Galvis
put runners on first and second. Craig
Stammen allowed Joe Panik’s RBI single.
The 31-year-old Ross rejoined the Padres
when he signed a minor league contract in
December and made the squad as a non-roster
invitee. He was an All-Star in 2014 and was

“We learned a lot,” coach Steve
Kerr said. “Every experience that
you gain you can learn from. This
has been such a chaotic month
with all the injuries and the mean-

trated. We haven’t performed very
well. The good news is we have

what we’re about. We know this
team well, we know the Spurs
well, so we know what we have to
do. We’ve got to go do it. The last
month is meaningless now.
Everything starts over.”
Some of that is what Kerr gained
from Spurs coach Gregg Popovich:
“You take whatever is in front of
you and you embrace it.”

Nick Kerr works for the San
Antonio Spurs — the Warriors’
opponent in a Western Conference
first round series. This has long
been a source of great amusement for
Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, who
coached Steve Kerr as a player and
remains close with him now.
Popovich has said that Nick Kerr is
the subject of additional security
screenings at work, just to ensure
he’s not a spy for the Warriors. (No,
Pop wasn’t serious.)
Steve Kerr says he and his son are
“recusing ourselves” from family
interaction during the series.

Nick’s phone,” he said.

At perhaps no other time in the

shake out.
“We’ve got a chance,” said
LeBron James, who will be seek-
ing his eighth straight trip to the
finals. “That’s all you can ask for.”
For pretty much the NBA’s entire
history, there’s been little reason
to tune in for the playoffs until
they got to the finals. No wonder
Charles Barkley became so enam-
ored with the NHL version of the
postseason — that’s a sport that
actually doles out some real drama
once the regular season is over.
The NBA?
Yawn.
Over the last four decades, a top-
seeded team has claimed 28 cham-
pionships. All but one of the
remaining titles went to teams
seeded second or third going into
the postseason — and even several
of those were clearly the best team

their Big Three of James, Dwyane
Wade and Chris Bosh; the 2001

turing Kobe Bryant and Shaquille
O’Neal; the 1993 Chicago Bulls
claiming their third straight title
led by Michael Jordan).
Looking a little deeper over that
same 40-year span, and you’ll find
only five teams lower than a No. 3
seed that lost in the finals. Such
dominance by a handful of dynas-
ties and superteams has largely
rendered the early rounds of the

inevitable matchup at the end.
This year, it makes sense to tune
in right from the start.
***
The Golden State Warriors have
been to the finals three years in a
row, winning titles in both 2015
and last season, and they certain-
ly have the talent to make it back
despite a less-than-dominating
regular season that prompted
coach Steve Kerr at one point to
call out their effort as “pathetic.”
Steph Curry will probably miss
the opening round with a knee
injury, but the Warriors should get
by a fading San Antonio Spurs
squad that will likely be without
ailing Kawhi Leonard for the
entire series. Kevin Durant,
Draymond Green and Klay
Thompson give the defending
champs plenty of firepower, even
without Curry. The Warriors
should at least make it back to the
conference final, where chances
are either the Rockets or OKC
will be waiting.

Houston posted the league’s best
record (65-17), and it’s hard to bet
against a team that has James
Harden. But the Rockets are facing
a tough opening-round series
against Minnesota, which broke a
14-year playoff drought with a dra-
matic overtime victory on the final
day of the regular season . If the

The Warriors also aren’t expect-

regular-season games because of a
lingering right quadriceps injury.
Defensive swagger
Durant and Green insist it’s time
to start taking defense more seri-
ously.
“Now we can focus in on what we
always do good here, it’s flying
around on defense, moving the bas-
ketball,” Durant said.
The Spurs realize the challenges.
“They are smart, they are long,”
Manu Ginobili said. “They are very

surprise team that emerges from the
loaded West.
***
There is no more intriguing team
than the Philadelphia 76ers, who
just two seasons ago went 10-72.
This year, they became the first
team in NBA history to close the
regular season on a 16-game win-
ning streak, surging to the No. 3
seed in the East . If Joel Embiid
comes back faster than expected
from a fractured orbital bone,
Philadelphia could do some real
damage in the East. Look for the
Sixers to beat the Heat in the open-
ing round, leading to what could be
a very favorable matchup against
the injury ravaged Boston Celtics
in Round 2. The 76ers should be a
year or two away from being a real
championship contender. Then
again, look what’s happened in
Philly: The Eagles won their first
Super Bowl championship and
Villanova claimed the national
title in college hoops. Maybe the
precocious 76ers will follow their
lead, far sooner than anyone
could’ve predicted.
***
James has been to the finals
seven years in a row — four times
with the Heat, three more since
returning to Cleveland. The
Cavaliers are only a No. 4 seed
after enduring a season of dysfunc-
tion, but the King is ready to take
this team on his back. At 33,
James has been as dominant as
ever , and he has a way of flipping
the switch to an even higher level
in the playoffs. He’s still the guy
you start with if building a champi-
onship-ready roster.
Who knows?
Maybe we’ll get a Cavaliers-
Warriors final for the fourth year in
a row.
At least it would be a bit of a sur-
prise this time.
stretch of seven losses in 10
games, the Spurs dealt with their
own eight-game skid down the
stretch.
And San Antonio went just 14-27
on the road.
Even if the Spurs’ 2017 series
with the Warriors was swift, this is
a fresh chance.
“It’s a new year,” LaMarcus
Aldridge said. “This team has
fought and put ourselves in a posi-
tion to be here. Last year is last
year.”
Center by committee
It might be Zaza Pachulia. Maybe
JaVale McGee. Or Kevon Looney.
David West will get his minutes,
too.
Each offers something uniquely
different as the Warriors go with a
center-by-committee approach.
Kerr isn’t saying which big man
he will start — he’s not giving
Popovich any early clues. And Kerr
said he and Spurs staffer and son,
Nick, are cutting off communica-
tion for a couple of weeks.

tore his Achilles’ to end his season with New Orleans.
Tom Van Arsdale (929) is the record-holder for most regular-
season games without seeing postseason play, followed by Otto
Moore (682), Nate Williams (642), Sebastian Telfair (564), then
Casspi and Cousins.
Global game
These NBA playoffs will be more global than ever.
A record 62 international players, from a record 33 countries,
are headed to the postseason. Every playoff team has at least one
international player on its roster, with Utah and Philadelphia
both featuring seven and Boston, Toronto and San Antonio six
each.
France and Australia lead the way in international representa-
tion in these playoffs, with seven players from each nation mak-
ing it to the second season. Canada and Spain both have four.
Streaking Spurs
This wasn’t San Antonio’s best season; the Spurs got “only”
the seventh seed in the West.
But their streak lives.
This is the 21st consecutive season the Spurs have made the
playoffs, one shy of matching Philadelphia for the longest NBA
run.
To put their current streak in perspective, the soonest any
other NBA club will be able to say that it has a 21-season post-
season streak will be 2033.
Golden State and Houston have the second-longest active
postseason streaks, at six. Portland and Toronto have been to
five in a row, and four teams in this postseason — Miami,
Minnesota, Philadelphia and New Orleans — didn’t qualify for
the playoffs a year ago.
Money matters
Portland and Philadelphia have already won a little extra
money. By winning on the season’s final night to ensure each
finished alone in third in their respective conferences, the Trail
Blazers and 76ers picked up another $64,842 from the NBA’s
record $20 million playoff pool this season.
Playoff teams split payouts from the pool, often toward
bonuses for players and staff.
Houston is assured $1,380,065 from the pool so far. Toronto
is assured $803,222 while Boston and Golden State are up to
$704,169. Every playoff team will receive at least $298,485 —
and the payouts keep rising as teams keep advancing.
The NBAchampion will claim at least $4,782,438; the runner-
up, at least $3,587,489.

SEATTLE — Mitch Haniger hit a three-

Seattle took advantage of a break-

A’s brief
Bruce Maxwell pleads guilty
PHOENIX — A’s catcher Bruce
Maxwell pleaded guilty Friday to disor-
derly conduct in an incident in which he
was accused of pointing a handgun at
the head of a woman who delivered food
to his home in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Defense attorney Rhonda Neff said
Maxwell pleaded to an undesignated
felony, meaning the offense will go
down to a misdemeanor upon success-
ful completion of his probation.
Maxwell was arrested in October on
suspicion of disorderly conduct and
aggravated assault with a deadly weapon
after the delivery woman reported the
incident to police. Police said in the
court documents that Maxwell lowered
the gun once the woman explained why
she was there.

NFL brief
Seahawks sign K Sebastian Janikowski
RENTON, Wash. — The Seattle Seahawks are hoping
Sebastian Janikowski can solve their kicking issues.
The team signed Janikowski on Friday amid a number of
moves.
Seattle also signed quarterback Stephen Morris to have
another arm on the roster behind Russell Wilson. Running back
J.D. McKissic and defensive lineman Quinton Jefferson signed
their exclusive rights free agent contracts for the 2018 season.
Janikowski spent 17 seasons with the Oakland Raiders but
missed the 2017 season due to a back injury. Janikowski, 40,
has made 80.4 percent of his kicks during his career and holds
the NFL record with 55 field goals of 50 yards or longer.
Janikowski will join former Jacksonville kicker Jason
Myers in the competition to replace Blair Walsh, who was
inconsistent in his one season as the Seahawks kicker last year.
Morris spent time with three teams during the regular season
and was with Washington earlier this offseason before being
released this month. Seattle had no other quarterbacks on the
roster since Trevone Boykin was released late last month.
McKissic developed into Seattle’s third-down running back
for part of last season. McKissic appeared in 13 games and had
three touchdowns. He averaged 4.1 yards per carry in limited
work as a ball carrier, but was most effective as a pass catcher.
McKissic had 34 catches, fifth-best on the team.

innings, allowing just two Cap base runners — one on a
trickling infield hit, and another on an infield error.
“I felt great about the way he threw considering he’s been
sick for three days,” Burlingame manager Shawn Scott said.
“He didn’t throw his bullpen or anything this week. Today
was a spot start and he did exactly what we asked him to do.
He kept us in the game.”
After Flores threw just 67 pitches, however, Panthers
manager Shawn Scott went to the bullpen to start the sev-
enth.
“That’s what we normally do,” Scott said. “That’s what
our program is built on. We get our starters as long as we can
get them and minimize the pounding of their arms. We have
a good bullpen. Today the bullpen didn’t do the job.”
Cap finished with just three hits on the night. But that
proved enough to front the Mustangs’ second win over
Burlingame in as many days. Cap won Thursday 5-3 in reg-
ulation. It marks the second straight year the Mustangs
have swept their rival Panthers.
Tony Pellegrini had the only hit off Flores, a trickling
infield single that Flores looked to have a play on but it
THE DAILY JOURNAL
bounded under his glove, with Pellegrini just beating the
throw to first from second baseman Jordi Aguilar.
In the seventh, Cap pinch hitter Christian Brazil got his
team on the board with a single to left field. Despite step-
ping to the plate with two runners on and representing the
tying run, Brazil said he wasn’t swinging for the fences.
“I was just trying to get the run in so we could have some
momentum to keep this going,” Brazil said. “Get more
runs.”
It turned out to be a clutch AB for the senior left-handed
hitter, who has been used several times as a pinch hitter this
year. He admittedly had struggled until Friday though.
“That was a big deal for me,” Brazil said. “That was like
the first big hit of mine.”
Pellegrini and Overlund went on to draw bases-loaded
walks to tie it. In the eighth, after Stines scored the go-
ahead run, cleanup hitter Leonardo Espinoza logged the
final hit, lining an RBI single to center to plate Trey
Zahursky.
Espinoza, pitching in relief, earned the win by tallying
two perfect innings. Cap starting pitcher Christian
Colmeares took a no-decision through six innings of work.
Cap manager Matt Wilson was not in attendance due to
having to travel to a family wedding. The two-game rivalry
series was originally scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday,
but rain on Wednesday forced a postponement.
“It’s a great morale booster,” Cap interim manager Robb
Martinucci said. “We’ve been struggling. We’ve been play-
ing tough. We’ve got a really tough schedule. … With this
team, you can’t afford to give outs away. We’ve been grind-
ing. They’ve got the work-hard mentality.”
Burlingame fielded a new left-side infield, with shortstop
Brendan Magalong and third baseman Chase Funkhouser
each making their first starts of the year. Magalong recov-
ered nicely from a fourth-inning error by slapping a tag on
a throw from catcher Alex McMaster to catch Stines trying
to steal. On the following play, Magalong made a rangy
play to his backhand to throw out Zahursky on an infield
grounder.
Funkhouser was 2 for 2 at the plate with an RBI single.
The junior also made the defensive play of the night, leav-
ing his feet with full extension to glove a soft liner off the
bat of Cap junior Cruise Thompson to end the third inning.
“I’m very happy that he stepped up,” Scott said. “I told
him after [Thursday’s] game he was starting. I told him to be
ready to play and he did exactly that. He came ready to play.
He showed he’s hungry to be on the field. And that’s huge.”
The win for the Mustangs is critical as it moves them into
fourth place, a half game ahead of Menlo School, in the
Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division standings. The
league season is not quite at the halfway point, but ulti-
mately the top four finishers in the Bay Division receive
automatic bids to the Central Coast Section playoffs.
The loss for Burlingame (1-4, 7-6), though, is a debilitat-
ing one, according to Scott.
“No league title for us,” Scott said. “We’re nowhere
remotely close to a league title chance. Now we’ve just got
to finish middle of the pack because everybody is ahead of
us now.”

knock off first-place Sacred Heart Prep in
PAL Bay Division play.
Hillsdale finally broke through in a score-
less game, rallying for a walk-off win on a
Matthew Leong RBI single in the bottom
of the 10th. The Knights had the bases
loaded with one out when Leong shot a long
fly ball to center that fell to score Antonio
Paolinelli with the game-winner.
Hillsdale starting pitcher Jason Alba was
nails in just his third start of the year. The
junior fired seven shutout innings, allow-
ing just one hit. Jaxon Skidmore entered in

Baseball
Gunderson 8, Sequoia 5
Sequoia (2-12 overall) rallied late but it was-
n’t enough to get past Gunderson-San Jose in
non-league play. The loss marks the eighth
straight for Sequoia. The Cherokees trailed 8-1
heading to the bottom of the seventh and ral-
lied for four runs, then loaded the bases to bring
the potential winning run to the plate. Paul
Garcia had an RBI double in the seventh for
Sequoia.
Travis Mathieu made his first start of the
year for the depleted Cherokees, allowing
five runs (four earned) on six hits over three
innings. His record falls to 0-2. Kian
Mirkia made his varsity debut at shortstop
for Sequoia, tabbing two hits.
St. Francis-Watsonville 3, Carlmont 1
Contact was at a premium as each team struck
out 11 times, but St. Francis-Watsonville was
able to break a 1-1 tie by generating a two-run
rally in the fourth inning against Scots starting
pitcher Jordan Brandenburg. Brandenburg
totaled six punch-outs and reliever Lucas Billot
emerged in the sixth and struck out five over
two shutout frames for Carlmont (9-7 overall).
Badminton
Hillsdale 10, San Mateo 5
Hillsdale’s depth won the day as the Knights

College baseball
Ohlone 5, Cañada 4
Cañada (7-7 Coast Pacific, 17-18 overall)
let a pair of two-run leads slip away and first-
place Ohlone (11-0, 27-6) rallied for an 11-
inning win in Fremont. Colts starter Nate
Loveless and reliever Chris Zaldana worked 5
1/3 innings apiece, but Ohlone got to
Zaldana with a two-out rally in the 11th.
Cody Nisbet drew a two-out walk and
advanced to second on a wild pitch. Then AJ
Curtis ended it with a walk-off RBI double.
Cañada totaled nine hits on the day, with two
apiece from Jesus Jimenez, Sergio Noriega,
Roman Satroplus and Tyler Brandenburg.
Skyline 9, Gavilan 3
Skyline (4-7, 8-24) rallied for three runs in
the eighth and three more in the first game of
a doubleheader with last-place Gavilan (2-12,
6-25). The Trojans banged out 15 hits, with
Ramon Enriquez going 3 for 4 with a triple
and an RBI. Max Jenkins added three hits for
Skyline. The Trojans dropped the second
game of the twin bill 8-5. Mitchel Swanson
impressed in two starts at third base, just his
second and third start of the year at the hot
corner, going 4 for 10 with a home run and
four RBIs through both games.
Nassar victim: Michigan State
leader offered a secret payoff
By Alice Yin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LANSING, Mich. — A sexual assault vic-
tim of former sports doctor Larry Nassar
confronted Michigan State University offi-
cials on Friday, alleging the school’s inter-
im leader pressured her to accept a payoff to
settle her lawsuit without her attorney pres-
ent.
Kaylee Lorincz spoke during a con-
tentious board of trustees meeting, where
interim President John Engler expressed
regret over the university’s response to
another woman’s federal lawsuit over the
school’s handling of rape allegations
involving basketball players. Lorincz, who
has said Nassar sexually assaulted her when
she sought treatment for back pain, said
Engler and Carol Viventi, who was hired in
February as special counsel to the presi-
dent, offered her $250,000 when the 18-
year-old and her mother were at the school a
few weeks ago to sign up to speak at
Friday’s meeting.
According to Lorincz, Engler said to her,
“Right now if I wrote you a check for
$250,000 would you take it?”
Lorincz said Engler also told her that
Rachael Denhollander, another Nassar vic-
tim, had provided him with an amount she
would consider to settle with the university.
Lorincz said she later asked Denhollander,
who told her she had never met with Engler.
Denhollender issued a written statement
confirming that encounter with Lorincz.
“I felt like I was being bullied into saying
something and that if Rachael gave him a
settlement amount, it was OK for me to do
it, too,” Lorincz said in a prepared state-
ment that she read aloud.
Engler’s spokeswoman, Emily Guerrant,
said she was in the room during the conver-
sation and does not remember Engler ver-
balizing a dollar figure.
“My interpretation of the discussion was
not that he was saying, ‘I’m offering you
$250,000,”’ Guerrant said. “It was a discus-
sion about the civil litigation and how it
was going on.”
Engler did not directly respond to Lorincz
during her speech except to say Lorincz’s
characterization of Viventi as his attorney

was incorrect. He later issued a statement
saying the meeting took place but he did
not elaborate on Lorincz’s account of it.
“Our memories and interpretations of the
March 28 meeting are different than hers,”
Engler said. “I am sorry if anything said dur-
ing the meeting was misunderstood.”
Lorincz addressed Engler in a room brim-
ming with protesters, parents and sexual
assault victims of Nassar, now serving
decades in prison for molesting women and
girls and for possessing child pornography.
She was among roughly 250 women who
gave statements earlier this year during
Nassar’s sentencing hearings in two
Michigan courtrooms.
In a separate case, a woman sued the
school on Monday, saying university coun-
selors discouraged her from filing a police
report after three Michigan State basketball
players allegedly raped her in 2015. She
accuses the school of violating Title IX pro-
tocol and claims staff made it clear that “she
faced an uphill battle that would create anx-
iety and unwanted media attention” should
she report her rape.
The university’s immediate response to
reporters asking about the lawsuit was to
decline comment. But on Wednesday it
issued a lengthy statement that detailed staff
interaction with the woman.
The response was met with backlash from
people who say Michigan State violated
federal privacy laws.
In Friday’s board meeting, Engler
acknowledged that the school “provided an
unnecessary amount of detail,” saying some
people saw the response as “violating pri-
vacy expectations.”
Engler, a Republican former governor of
Michigan, became interim president after
Lou Anna Simon resigned in January hours
after Nassar was sentenced to decades in
prison for crimes involving Michigan State
athletes. Students remain anxious over the
future course of the university, which con-
cludes the school year this month but has
yet to choose a permanent replacement for
Simon.
The atmosphere inside the board meeting
quickly drew tension as Engler attempted to

Kelly progressing ‘remarkably
well’ following cancer surgery
By John Wawrow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Jim Kelly is progressing so “remarkably
well” two weeks after surgery to have cancer
removed from his jaw, his doctor expects the
Hall of Fame quarterback to be released from the
hospital soon.
“I’m very optimistic,” said Mount Sinai head
and neck surgeon Mark Urken in a 20-minute
video interview released Friday by the New
York City hospital. “He is about as tough a
patient — tough in a good way — in terms of
being just incredibly courageous, and he con-
tinues to amaze me.”
Though Kelly is still unable to chew, he is
now being fed orally in what Urken called: “a
huge milestone and a segue for him to be able
to leave the hospital.” Urken did not provide an
exact timetable of when the former Bills star
might be discharged and return to his home in
suburban Buffalo.
A Mount Sinai official was only able to say
Kelly won’t be released from the hospital on
Friday.
Urken said he’s very optimistic Kelly will
regain the same speech and eating functions as
he had before undergoing the 12-hour opera-
tion. Several follow-up procedures will be
required, including having dentures inserted
into Kelly’s upper jaw.
“I expect that he’s going to recover really
excellent function; his speech, I expect will be
outstanding,” Urken said. “And I really expect
that he will be able to resume a normal diet once
we get him fitted with teeth.”
Kelly was required to have surgery after tests
revealed a recurrence of oral cancer nearly five
years after initially being diagnosed with squa-
mous cell carcinoma. The 58-year-old Kelly
had been cancer-free since September 2014.

The operation involved doctors first remov-
ing the cancer from Kelly’s palate and portions
of the bone that support his teeth on the right
side of his face. Doctors were also required to
address the left jawbone, which had previously
been reconstructed after it had weakened as a
result of radiation therapy.
Doctors then reconstructed Kelly’s jaw by
transferring bone from his fibula, as well as
using skin grafts from his calf to re-line his
oral cavity. Blood vessels also had to be trans-
ferred to allow for proper circulation to the
affected area.
“Everything is a little bit more challenging
when a patient’s been previously irradiated,”
Urken said. “It slows the healing process. It
leads to more swelling and a lot more intensive
recovery and nursing care.”
Urken credited Kelly’s wife, Jill, two daugh-
ters and brothers for providing round the clock
support.
Jill Kelly released a statement thanking fans
for their support, and reminding people to be
aware of the signs and symptoms of oral can-
cer.
“We are so thankful that Jim continues to
make progress every day,” she said. “His recov-
ery will take time and patience. We look for-
ward to being out of the hospital soon.”
Urken stressed Kelly’s resilience by noting
that was something the quarterback was known
for during an 11-year NFL career with the Bills
which ended with him retiring after the 1996
season. Kelly oversaw a team that lost four
consecutive Super Bowl appearances in the
early 1990s.
“He’s just been remarkable,” Urken said.
“Given his history and playing in the NFL, just
imagining what it was like being a quarterback
under assault. I think all of that was great prepa-
ration for taking on this huge challenge.”
est in 20 years. He previously had teased
the possibility of heavy tuition increases
should the school’s lawsuits over the
Nassar scandal continue to snowball finan-
cially.
Victims and students dominated the sec-
ond half of the meeting and castigated the
board for how it handled the public fallout
over the past few months.
“You sponsored my assault, ” dancer
Morgan McCaul, a Nassar victim, said.
“Your time is up. Resign.”
As McCaul’s testimony concluded, the
crowd joined her in chanting, “Shame on
you,” at the board.

the use of sarin gas. He said at least one
chemical was used — chlorine, which also
has legitimate industrial uses and had not
previously triggered a U. S. military
response.
Mattis said the targets selected by U.S.,
British and French officials were meant to
minimize civilian casualties.
“This is difficult to do in a situation like
this,” he said, in light of the volatility of
chemical agents.
At a Pentagon news conference alongside
Mattis, and with British and French military
officers beside them to emphasize allied
unity, Gen. Joseph Dunford said the attacks
targeted mainly three targets in western
Syria.
Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, said missiles first struck a scientific
research center in the Damascus area that he
said was a center of Syrian research, devel-
opment, production and testing of chemical
and biological warfare technology. The sec-
ond target was a chemical weapons storage
facility west of Homs. He said this was
believed to be the main site of Syrian sarin
and precursor chemical production equip-
ment.
The third target was a chemical weapons
equipment storage facility and an important
command post, also west of Homs, Dunford
said.
British Prime Minister Theresa May said
in London that the West had tried “every
possible” diplomatic means to stop Assad
from using chemical weapons. “But our
LOCAL
efforts have been repeatedly thwarted” by
Syria and Russia, she said.
“So there is no practicable alternative to
the use of force to degrade and deter the use
of chemical weapons by the Syrian regime,”
May said. “This is not about intervening in
a civil war. It is not about regime change.”
French President Emmanuel Macron said
in a statement that a target of the strike was
the Syrian government’s “clandestine
chemical arsenal.”
The Syrian government has repeatedly
denied any use of banned weapons.
The decision to strike, after days of delib-
erations, marked Trump’s second order to
attack Syria. He authorized a barrage of
Tomahawk cruise missiles to hit a single
Syrian airfield in April 2017 in retaliation
for Assad’s use of sarin gas against civil-
ians.
Mattis estimated the latest air campaign
was about twice the size of the 2017 strike.
He added that the U.S. expects the Syrian
government and its allies to conduct a “sig-
nificant disinformation campaign,” which
the Pentagon would rebut with additional
information Saturday morning.
The air campaign could frustrate those in
Trump’s base who oppose military inter-
vention and are wary of open-ended con-
flicts.
Trump chastised Syria’s two main allies,
Russia and Iran, for their roles in support-
ing “murderous dictators,” and noted that
Russian President Vladimir Putin had guar-
anteed a 2013 international agreement for
Assad to get rid of all of his chemical
weapons. He called on Moscow to change
course and join the West in seeking a more
responsible regime in Damascus.
“Russia must decide if it will continue
down this dark path, or if it will join with
civilized nations as a force for stability and
peace,” Trump said. “Hopefully, someday
we’ll get along with Russia, and maybe
even Iran — but maybe not.”
The Russian ambassador to the U. S. ,
Anatoly Antonov, condemned the airstrikes
and warned that “such actions will not be
left without consequences.”
The U.S. missile strike a year ago, which
targeted the airfield from which Syrian air-
craft had launched their gas attack, was
meant to deter Assad from further use of
chemical weapons. Since that did not work,
a more intense attack would aim to degrade
his ability to carry out further such attacks,
and would try to do this by hitting Syrian
aircraft, military depots and chemical facil-
ities, among other things.
The strikes that hit early Saturday in Syria
came hours before inspectors from the
Organization for the Prohibition of
Chemical Weapons were set to arrive to
inspect the site of the apparent attack.

THE DAILY JOURNAL
A broader question is whether the allied
attacks are part of a revamped, coherent
political strategy to end the war on terms
that do not leave Assad in power.
The strikes appear to signal Trump’s will-
ingness to draw the United States more
deeply into the Syrian conflict. Just weeks
ago, Trump said he wanted to end U.S.
involvement in Syria and bring American
troops home to focus on the homeland. The
participation of British and French forces
enables Trump to assert a wider internation-
al commitment against the use of chemical
weapons, but the multi-pronged attack car-
ries the risk of Russian retaliation.
Dunford said the U.S. did not coordinate
targets with or notify the Russian govern-
ment of the strikes, beyond normal airspace
“de-confliction” communications.
In his nationwide address, Trump stressed
that he has no interest in a longtime fight
with Syria.
“As other nations step up their contribu-
tions, we look forward to the day when we
can bring our warriors home,” Trump said.
“And great warriors they are.”
The U.S. has about 2,000 troops on the
ground in Syria as advisers to a makeshift
group of anti-Islamic State fighters known
as the Syrian Democratic Forces. They are
in eastern Syria, far from Damascus. A U.S.-
led coalition has been conducting airstrikes
in Syria since September 2014 as part of a
largely successful effort to break the IS grip
on both Syria and Iraq.
Jarrod Agen, Vice President Mike Pence’s
deputy chief of staff, said Pence called con-
gressional leaders from his hotel suite in
Lima, Peru, to notify them of the president’s
plan to address the nation about the Syrian
air strikes.
it are other potential means of cutting costs
and boosting revenue, she added.
A variety of other features and ideas under
consideration include interactive art instal-
lations, meandering paths throughout the
park, children’s play areas, enhanced water
access, kayak storage, kitchen space for
cooking lessons and a rooftop as well as
performance venue, to name a few.
Liu said there has also been discussion of
relocating the Hillbarn Theatre to the site.
The existing recreation center is nearly 50
years old. Liu said the antiquated facility is
no longer able to serve the needs of the
community and demands constant and cost-
ly maintenance. She said vendors often no
longer make the parts they need for repairs
to the building.
“It’s moving slowly, but I’m very pleased
that we’re at this point because time is tick-
ing and things get more expensive and
maintenance is getting harder and harder,”
Liu said.

Plenty to love in film
‘Borg Vs. McEnroe’
By Mark Kennedy
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Let’s begin this review of “Borg Vs.
McEnroe” with a huge spoiler alert. The
final score of the 1980 Wimbledon men’s
final between Bjorn Borg and John
McEnroe, which takes up the climactic last
third of the movie, was 1-6, 7-5, 6-3, 6-7,
8-6. It’s not a secret, really. And, in the end,
it doesn’t really matter.
This fabulous, moody film isn’t your typ-
ical jock flick where bitter rivals compete
to a crowning, sweaty end. There isn’t a real
victor in “Borg Vs. McEnroe” and the
points don’t prove anything. It’s less a ten-
nis movie than a meditation on the person-
al costs of chasing excellence.
Borg and McEnroe, seeded 1-2 at the start
of the tournament, played tense, taut tennis
From Italy to Iowa farm to love
TheatreWorks stages musical version of ‘Bridges of Madison County’
By Judy Richter
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Life changed radically for a young Italian
woman when she married an American sol-
dier and moved to his farm in Iowa after
World War II.
It changed again in 1965 when she met a
handsome National Geographic photogra-
pher in “The Bridges of Madison County,” a
musical presented by TheatreWorks.
By then, Francesca (Joan Hess) and her
husband Bud (Timothy Gulan) had settled
into a routine with the farm and their two
teenagers to look after.
The change began when Bud and the kids,
Carolyn (Jessia Hoffman) and Michael
for almost four hours, creating one of
Wimbledon’s finest moments. The curly-
haired youngster, chasing his first
Wimbledon crown, was trying to prevent
Borg from winning his fifth straight cham-

McEnroe twirled his racket or Borg’s
hunched stance. But this film also requires
both actors to reveal deep pools of inner tur-
moil and they somehow manage it with just
a glance or a quiet moment. Borg and
McEnroe rarely interact at all.
The Wimbledon final was framed as a bat-
tle between opposites. Borg was the quiet,
efficient Swede, while McEnroe was the

Aftermath of the

our weeks ago, students and young
people led more than 800 marches
across the world in a display of sol-
idarity that refused to be ignored by the
government.
Organized by Parkland survivors of the
Feb. 14 school shooting, the March For
Our Lives demanded gun reform laws and
school safety. The national march took
place in Washington,
D.C., and USA Today
reported there were an
estimated 800,000 pro-
testers in attendance,
making it the largest
single-day protest in
D.C.’s history.
The students’ actions
inspired youth across the
country to take action and lead marches in
their own communities. I was one of those
students.
In my last column (“The march for our
lives” published in the March 10 edition of
the Daily Journal), I detailed how the
Parkland students inspired me, and how we
wanted to bring that momentum and pas-
sion to our own community, here in the
Bay Area.

demonstrated an individuality in thought
and idea that brought new perspectives to
the community.
There were discussions of mental health,
a firsthand account by a survivor of the
Oct. 1 Las Vegas shooting and a story from
a girl who inadvertently caused a school
lockdown. Most importantly, there was a
vulnerability displayed as speakers bared
their souls for the crowd in a passionate
plea for change.
Despite the range of logistical problems
turnout, there had been no doubt in my
mind that we would be successful. I knew
we were fighting for what we believed in,
and I knew that we were on the right side of
history.
As I told my fellow organizer, Holly
Newman, there was no way we could go
wrong that day because our goal was to
push for gun reform, and no matter what
else happened that day we were going to do
exactly that.
And we did. What occurred at Courthouse
Square that day far surpassed anything I
could have expected or hoped.
As I looked out at the faces of friends,
peers, family members and strangers,
my nerves dissipated, and I felt a surge
of pride. Pride at what we had accom-
Four weeks ago, we took a stand as a
community. We spoke from our hearts, we
rallied for change and we demanded action.
As I said in my opening speech, we became
a part of a movement that was bigger than
myself, bigger than our community and
bigger than Parkland.
Our rally was successful, and that was
amazing. But that’s not enough. The fight
for gun reform and an end to school shoot-
ings is far from over, and we can’t afford to
let the momentum fade now.
There are always ways to get involved,
and there is always more to be done.

and pushing for new legislation. Donate to

On Nov. 6, polls will be open. Educate
yourself on the measures, research your

who will support gun reform. Vote for the
much-needed change for which the students
of our nation have been begging. I know I
will be.

understand it because none of you do it.”
In its athletic duel between an agent of
cool and a hothead, the film is a lot like
“Rush” but only with fuzzy balls instead
of race cars. In many ways, it’s more
like “I, Tonya,” in its impressionistic
darkness. “Borg Vs. McEnroe” says it is
“inspired by true events” which gives it
plenty of wriggle room when it comes
to the truth.
We learn that Borg was not always a
controlled, cool customer. He was a fire-
brand like McEnroe but had the petu-
lance trained out of him by a coach (a
superb Stellan Skarsgard) who told him
stroke. We learn that McEnroe idolized
Borg, putting his poster on his wall and
wearing a headband in emulation of the
older man.
On the road to the 1980 finals, the
filmmakers gives us flashbacks to each
man’s childhood for insights. (The film-
makers get extra credit for casting
Borg’s real-life son as a young Borg,
who we see spending hours methodical-
ly smashing balls against a garage
door.)
It also shows how people in these two
men’s orbit — girlfriends, coaches and
even fellow competitors — walk on
eggshells around them, fearful of set-
ting them off. To be the best in the world
takes everything and leaves you slight-
ly unhinged. Someone tells McEnroe:
“It’s life and death for you. The others
you.”
Once the final Wimbledon match has
been won — we’re not going to say who
prevailed, we’re not totally awful — the
two men happen to share a private
moment in a public place that is touch-
ing and cathartic.
At one point, the camera during this
exchange steps further away and we can
no longer hear what these two champi-
ons are saying to each other. That’s fit-
ting somehow: Only they — and any-
one else who has been in their tennis
shoes — can really understand.
“Borg Vs. McEnroe,” a Neon release,
is rated R by the Motion Picture
Association of America for “language
throughout and some nudity.” Running
time: 107 minutes. Three and a half stars
out of four.

A spiritual Western in Chloe Zhao’s ‘The Rider’
By Lindsey Bahr
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Cinema might have a worthy successor to
early Terrence Malick in Chloe Zhao, whose
second feature “The Rider” is a spiritual and
poetic journey into the fading world of the
Lakota cowboy, starring the real people
who inspired her film.
As in her first, the beautiful “Songs My
Brothers Taught Me” which was also set on
the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Zhao
transports us to the badlands of South
Dakota to tell the story of a rodeo cowboy
who must give up his dream after suffering a
devastating brain trauma during competi-
tion.
Brady Jandreau, a Lakota cowboy and
member of the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe,
plays a fictionalized version of himself,
Brady Blackburn, in the film. Jandreau was
actually thrown from a horse which then
stomped on his head during a rodeo in 2016.
He was in a coma for three days and now has
a metal plate in his head and lingering
effects from the trauma.
In “The Rider,” we meet Brady soon after
the incident, as he’s taking the staples out
of his own skull and adjusting, poorly, to a
new life of caution, away from the energy
and excitement and danger of the rodeo,
which he had staked his identity on. Brady

Kenneth Lonergan on
adapting ‘Howards End’
By Jake Coyle
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — “Howards End,” the four-
part miniseries adapted from E.M. Forster’s
1910 novel, isn’t Kenneth Lonergan’s first
foray into television. That would be the ani-
mated Nickelodeon kids show “Doug.”
Before Lonergan was one of the most
acclaimed playwrights and filmmakers of
his generation, he was like most young
writers: hunting for work and for money. He
and his friend Andy Yerkes wrote apair of
1993 episodes for “Doug.” How it hap-
pened, the 55-year-old playwright can’t
recall.
“Or why they only wanted us to write only
two episodes,” said Lonergan. “I guess they
didn’t like our episodes very much. I
thought they were OK.”
“Howards End,” a BBC production, may be
Lonergan’s second TV credit but — no
offense to “Doug” — it’s his most substan-
tial small-screen effort yet. Lonergan wrote
the four-hour series, directed by Hetti
MacDonald and starring Hayley Atwell,
while working on “Manchester by the Sea,”
for which he won best screenplay at last
year’s Academy Awards.
Exhausted from the rigors of that Oscar
campaign (“Those events really take over
your consciousness, not just your life,” he
says) Lonergan opted not to direct the
British series and instead concentrate solely
on adapting the book about three rungs of
society in Edwardian England: the high-
minded Schlegel sisters, the wealthy but
obstinate Wilcoxes and the unfortunate
Basts.
In a recent interview, Lonergan discussed
making “Howards End” — previously made
into the 1992 Merchant-Ivory film, with
Emma Thompson and Anthony Hopkins —
seeing his 2001 play “Lobby Hero” revived
on Broadway and whether the (hash)MeToo
movement has been fair to “Manchester”
star Casey Affleck.

subjects who have so graciously let her into
their lives, and, with almost documentary
rigor, expose some of the difficult truths of
life with disability. But there is also an
abundance of grace and beauty within the
hardships too.
Her use of non-actors is often a plus, but
it has its limits too. Brady, while a deeply
compelling and empathetic presence who
from certain angles looks like a distant
cousin to Chris Pratt, can appear a little
blank at times when the camera just lingers
on him in close-up. He’s strongest, and
most natural in his normal routine, training
horses, or interacting with Lane or Lilly.
Its examination of the cowboy masculin-
ity that leads Brady and his peers to seek a
life of thrills and danger only scratches the
surface, but you’ll be surprised at how
intoxicating and enveloping it is, right
down to the on-the-nose metaphors. “The
Rider” is a story of death and rebirth and
cements Zhao as one of the most promising
and humane filmmakers to come on the
scene in some time. Like Sean Baker, she
takes her camera to parts of the country that
many of us rarely see and even more rarely
take the time to consider. Zhao and “The

Chief Cosby accuser says she
was too weakto ‘fight him off’
By Michael R. Sisak
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NORRISTOWN, Pa. — Bill Cosby’s chief
accuser took the witness stand for the second
time to tell a story of molestation and bro-
ken trust, describing for jurors how the
comedian knocked her out with three blue
pills and then sexually assaulted her at his
home.
“I was weak. I was limp, and I just could
not fight him off,” said Andrea Constand,
who found herself in the same cavernous
courtroom on Friday less than a year after a
jury was unable to reach a verdict on charges
against Cosby.
Her harrowing account of the events in
2004 was consistent with the one she gave
at last year’s trial in suburban Philadelphia,
and jurors watched intently and scribbled
notes as she told how Cosby, the good-guy
celebrity she viewed as a mentor and friend,
had betrayed her.
“Ms. Constand, why are you here?” prose-
cutor Kristen Feden asked.
“For justice,” Constand said.
The defense has blasted Constand as a “con
artist” who leveled false accusations against
the star as part of a scheme to get money
from him.
During cross-examination Friday, Cosby
lawyer Tom Mesereau went through a thick
binder of Constand’s police statements and
prior testimony as he tried to poke holes in
her story. But the jury heard only minor dis-
crepancies between what she said in the past
and her account on the witness stand.
And, after telling jurors in his opening
statement that Constand had operated a
Ponzi scheme while running women’s bas-
ketball operations at Temple University,
Mesereau’s evidence was a cut-and-paste
email that Constand sent for a friend years
ago.
WEEKEND JOURNAL THE DAILY JOURNAL
She testified that she
barely remembered it.
The defense was expect-
ed to continue its cross-
examination on Monday.

Bill Cosby was “stressed” about
telling the Temple bas-
ketball coach of her plans to leave to study
massage therapy in her native Canada. She
said Cosby, a Temple alum and powerful
trustee, called the pills “your friends” and
told her they would “help take the edge off.”
Instead, Constand said, the pills made her
black out. She awoke to find the actor known REUTERS

hand on his penis.
She said she wanted Cosby to stop but
couldn’t say anything. She tried moving her
arms and legs but couldn’t do that either.
Constand said she awoke between 4 a.m.
and 5 a.m. to find her bra up around her neck
and her pants half unzipped. She said Cosby
stopped her as she went to leave: “All he said
was there’s a muffin and tea on the table and
then, ‘All right’ and then I left.”
Afterward, Constand said, “I was really
humiliated. I was in shock. And I was really
confused.”
The now 80-year-old entertainer has said
he gave Constand the cold medicine
Benadryl and that she consented to a sexual
encounter.
Constand testified she decided to report
the assault to police in January 2005, about
a year later, jarred to action by a nightmare
and an increasing awareness of consent
issues from her ongoing massage therapy
training.

Hollywood’s diversity push snubs actors with disabilities
By Lynn Elber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Eileen Grubba was
working alongside other actors on a TV
commercial when she realized the director’s
eye was caught by her uneven gait. He start-
ed positioning her out of shots — and then
it got worse.
Shooting a scene on a bus, the director
ordered Grubba to get up and move from her
seat in the middle to one in the rear that was
fully out of the frame.
“‘So now we’re going to make the dis-
abled people sit at the back of the bus?
That’s awesome,”’ Grubba, who uses a leg
brace because of childhood spinal cord dam-
age, recalled thinking some six years ago.
The disheartening experience reflects the
broader picture for many actors with dis-
abilities, whose progress in Hollywood has
lagged behind that of other minority per-
formers demanding to be seen and hired. The
reasons are complex, insiders and observers
say, including unfounded concerns about
added production costs, disability stereo-
types and an industry clinging to
entrenched habits.
“The fact is this is the largest minority
group in the United States that routinely is
discriminated against in the (entertainment)
industry, and we’re trying to move the nee-
dle,” said Jay Ruderman, head of a non-par-
tisan foundation that advocates for inclu-
sion for people with disabilities.

Orleans,” Micah Fowler, who has cerebral
palsy and stars on ABC’s “Speechless,” and
little person Peter Dinklage, the Emmy- and
Golden Globe-winning star of HBO’s
“Game of Thrones.” He’s also earned the-
atrical film roles (“Three Billboards Outside
Ebbing, Missouri”).
But studies show them to be outliers, even
as a diversity groundswell has benefited
actors of color and African-Americans in
particular — including Chadwick Boseman
(”Black Panther”) on the big screen, Emmy-
winner Sterling K. Brown (”This Is Us”) on
the small one and Oscar- and Emmy-winner
Viola Davis on both. LGBTQ performers,
among them Laverne Cox, are making
gains in visibility and work as well.
BY THE NUMBERS
More than 56 million people — nearly 20
percent of the U.S. population — have a
disability, according to a 2012 Census
Bureau report. But in 900 films released in
theaters between 2007-2016, a total of 2.7
percent of the characters with speaking
parts had a disability, according to
researchers at the USC Annenberg School
for Communication and Journalism.

TV shows airing in 2016, one actor
(Mitchell of “NCIS”) has the disability por-
trayed on screen, a Ruderman Family
Foundation study found. In 21 prominent
series on streaming platforms, two actors
out of the 17 playing characters with dis-
abilities had a real-life disability.
Hollywood isn’t alone in its employment
practices. In 2016, the Bureau of Labor
Statistics found that the unemployment rate
for people with disabilities was more than
double that of the non-disabled (10.5 per-
cent vs. 4.6 percent).
ELUSIVE ROLES
When disabled people are portrayed in
films and on television, roles lean heavily
toward conditions that aren’t physically
visible. A role involving an apparent dis-
ability may go to an actor with the condi-
tion — little person Mark Povinelli played
a character with dwarfism on Amazon’s
“Mad Dogs” — or not. In “Strong,” the film
about a Boston Marathon bombing sur-
vivor left a double amputee, a computer-
altered Jake Gyllenhaal played the part.
That leaves performers with disabilities
largely out in the cold.

read for able-bodied characters,” even if
their disability wouldn’t affect the portrayal
or story, said actor Kurt Yaeger (Greg the
Peg on “Sons of Anarchy”). Yaeger, who
lost a leg in a motorcycle accident, said his
agility with a prosthetic allows him to
“hide” it for non-disabled parts and increas-
es his job options.
Scott Silveri, creator and executive pro-
ducer of ABC’s “Speechless, ” joins in
brushing away the tired notion that a
story’s dramatic flow or audience would be
thrown off by seeing a physically chal-
lenged person.
“When you go into a bank and a teller has
a limp, do you get confused, walk out into
the parking lot and walk around?” he said.
“What’s the big deal? Go outside — there
are crutches and canes and wheelchairs, and
people using them.”
The onus, impossibly, is on the so-called
“disabled community,” which consists of
people with many different conditions and
groups with varying goals and needs.
Screenwriter Janis Hirsch, who uses
crutches because of childhood polio, recalls
“losing it” when a “Glee” character in a
wheelchair was played by an actor who was-
n’t. Hirsch complained to a casting director
who worked on the show, she said, and got
this reply: “You people didn’t submit any-
one.”
Actresses face their own obstacles. The
demands for physical perfection, so key a
part of the dream factory, fall more heavily
on them, according to Grubba: “I’ve literal-
ly had people say to me, ‘If you were a man,
(your limp) wouldn’t matter.”’

noTICE oF PETITIon To
ADmInIsTER EsTATE oF
Kay T Jack
Case Number: 18-PRO-00343
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of Kay T Jack. A Petition for
Probate has been filed by Olen Creech in
the Superior Court of California, County
of San Mateo. The Petition for Probate
requests that John F. Paul be appointed
as personal representative to administer
the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: MAY 15, 2018 at
9:00 a.m., Department 28, Room 2F,
Superior Court of California, County of
San Mateo, 400 County Center, Red-
wood City, CA 94063.
If you object to the granting of the peti-
tion, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hear-
ing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent cred-
itor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representa-
tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under sectioin
9052 of the California Probate Code.Oth-
er California statutes and legal authority
may affect your rights as a creditor. You
may want to consult with an attorney
knowledgable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.

Explosions rock Syrian capital
as Trump announces strikes
By Bassem Mroue
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DAMASCUS, Syria — Loud explo-
sions rocked Syria’s capital and filled
the sky with heavy smoke early
Saturday after U.S. President Donald
Trump announced airstrikes in retalia-
tion for the country’s alleged use of
chemical weapons. Syrian air defenses
responded to the joint strikes by the
United States, France and Britain.
Associated Press reporters saw smoke
rising from east Damascus and the lit-up
sky turning orange for the blasts. A
huge fire could be seen from a distance
to the east. Syrian television said the
attacks targeted a scientific research
center in Barzeh, near Damascus, and an
army depot near Homs.
Syrian media reported that air defens-
es had hit 13 incoming rockets south of
Damascus.
After the attack ceased and the early
morning skies went dark once more,
vehicles with loudspeakers roamed the
streets of Damascus blaring nationalist
songs.
“Good souls will not be humiliated,”
Syria’s presidency tweeted after
airstrikes began.
Syrian state TV called the attacks a
“blatant violation of international law
and shows contempt for international
legitimacy.”
Trump announced Friday night that
the three allies had launched military
strikes to punish Syrian President
Bashar Assad for the alleged chemical
weapons use and to prevent him from
doing it again.
WORLD THE DAILY JOURNAL
The U.S. president said Washington
is prepared to “sustain” pressure on
Assad until he ends what the president
called a criminal pattern of killing his
own people with internationally
banned chemical weapons. It was not
immediately clear whether Trump meant
the military operation would extend
beyond an initial nighttime round of
missile strikes.
The Syrian government has repeated-
ly denied any use of banned weapons.
U.S. Defense Secretary James Mattis
said there were no reports of U.S. loss-
es during the initial airstrikes.
“Right now this is a one-time shot,”
he said but did not rule out further
attacks. He said the airstrikes were
launched against several sites that
helped provide Assad’s ability to create
chemical weapons.
