Owner fined over apartments

KDF Communities failed to rebuild Redwood City’s Hallmark House Apartments after fire
By Zachary Clark
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Redwood City officials are fin-
ing the owner of a 72-unit apart-
ment building for failing to
rebuild it after a six-alarm fire dis-
placed all of its residents in late
2013.
The city notified affordable
housing developer KDF
Communities, which owns the
Hallmark House Apartments prop-
erty at 531 Woodside Road, in
early June that fines would be
issued for an abandoned building
and gave the company until June
29 to respond. KDF Communities
did not respond in that time frame,
and so it has been fined five times
so far and will continue to get
fined a total of $1,075 daily, said
city spokeswoman Meghan
Horrigan.
The fines are also for weeds
encroaching the sidewalk and
overgrown vegetation that could
attract rats and create a fire hazard,
according to the city’s blog,
Redwood City Voice. The city
notified KDF Communities of
those concerns in May and gave
the company until June 14 to
respond, which it didn’t.

South City eyeing old firehouse builder
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
South San Francisco officials interested
in redeveloping a defunct fire station held
off on selecting a preferred builder for the
city property in favor of further examina-
tion.
The Housing Standing Committee agreed
Monday, July 16, to table a decision regard-
ing which of three competing development
proposals would work best for the half-acre
site, one block away from Grand Avenue at
201 Baden Ave.
While officials want more time to better
understand details of offers from two final-
ists Group 4 Architects and M2 Realty
Partners, committee member and
Councilman Mark Addiego expressed his
appreciation for the redevelopment oppor-
tunity.
“The city owns this, we have full control
of it and this is something we can go with
in the direction that we think serves our
community the best,” he said.
Officials are granted a variety of options
through the three proposals, which offer to
build office and retail space, a residential
development or a mixed-use project featur-
ing space to live and work.
Group 4 Architects and Lawlor Land Use
are partnering to propose a project com-
prised of office space which could accom-
modate the architecture firm’s headquarters,
nearly 10,000 square feet of retail space and
up to 24 residential units.
The units, proposed to span in size
between studios and two bedrooms, would
be secluded on the second through fourth
floor of the project while roughly the other
half would be reserved for office space and a
small retail shop.
Addiego said the creative project could
revitalize the office project in a way other-
wise not found nearby.
“We don’t have a really vibrant office
community,” he said.

A rendering of the project proposed by Group 4 Architects at 201 Baden Ave.
He also noted the unit count is below the
threshold zoned for the area, but suggested
he was comfortable with the reduced density
under an effort to blend better with the sur-
rounding neighborhood.
To that end, he said a 63-unit residential
proposal from KASA Partners, also offering
3,000 square feet of retail space, is too large
to fit in the site, and the committee is not
recommending to pursue the project.
“It’s just too much for that site unfortu-
nately,” he said.
The other finalist comes from M2 Realty
Partners and OTRE Investments, which pro-
poses co-working space for an office com-
ponent of the 10,000-square-foot project
and a boutique café for the ground floor. A
second phase of development may be possi-
ble at the site as well, but specific plans are
yet to be determined.
Addiego said the committee requested
more specific information from M2 Realty
and Group 4 and expects staff will return
with details within a month or so.
The subcommittee aims to make a recom-
mendation on a preferred development part-
ner, which would ultimately need to be
approved by the City Council.
Addiego said he especially appreciates
the design of the projects which look to
redevelop the site while still paying hom-
age to the historical significance of the
building.
While acknowledging some residents are
growing tired with redevelopment projects
which demolish notable structures such as
old banks, factories and auto dealerships in
favor of new buildings, Addiego said an
effort to preserve some feature of the fire-
house may be welcomed.
“We’re taking things down that don’t
have any historical relevance, but they are
familiar to the eye and when people see
them go down we get some pushback that
we are changing too rapidly, but if you look
at the potential of what is being put forward
… it celebrates the past and reworks it into
the future,” he said.
Eyeing the opportunity offered at the site,
Addiego said he appreciated the freedom
officials enjoy in managing a piece of land
owned by the city which is due for an
update. But before a decision could be made,
he said officials would need more time
before making a decision.
“We asked for a little bit more informa-
tion of what could work,” he said.

Gunman in Trader Joe’s standoff was feuding with grandmother
By Michael Balsamo
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — A feud between a man
and his grandmother over his girlfriend
staying at the grandmother’s home explod-
ed into violence that ultimately led to him
taking dozens of people hostage inside a
Los Angeles supermarket, a relative said
Sunday.
Investigators believe Gene Evin Atkins,
28, shot his grandmother several times and
wounded his girlfriend at their South Los
Angeles home on Saturday afternoon before
he led police on a chase, while exchanging
gunfire with officers, crashed into a pole
outside the Trader Joe’s in the city’s Silver
Lake section and ran inside.
Atkins was booked Sunday on suspicion
of murder after an employee was killed as he
ran into the supermarket, police said.
His cousin, Charlene Egland, told The
Associated Press that he had been arguing
with his grandmother — who had raised him
since he was 7 years old — “on and off for
about two or three weeks” over his girl-
friend staying at the elderly woman’s home.
“She didn’t want the girl over there any-
more,” Egland said.
On Saturday, Atkins’ grandmother, Mary
Elizabeth Madison, 76, was walking back
into the home and told her grandson “he
needs to turn some of them TVs off” when
he shot her, she said.
Egland said she heard about six gunshots
before another cousin came running from
the porch and shouted to Egland, “I think
Gene shot my mama!”
The girlfriend was grazed in the head,
police said.
Egland said she ran to call 911 and waited
for an ambulance to arrive. At the same
time, police said Atkins stole his grand-
mother’s car and forced his girlfriend into
the vehicle.
Officers tracked the car using a stolen-
vehicle tracking system and tried to stop
the man in Hollywood, but he refused to pull
over, police said. During the chase, he fired
at officers, shooting out the back window of
his car.
More gunfire ensued before Atkins crashed

into a pole outside the supermarket. The
man exchanged gunfire with police again
and that’s when a 27-year-old Trader Joe’s
employee, Melyda Corado, was shot and
killed, Police Chief Michel Moore said.
Officers escorted the girlfriend from the
vehicle.
Customers and employees frantically
dove for cover and barricaded themselves
inside storerooms and bathrooms as bullets
fired by police shattered the store’s glass
doors.
As he heard gunfire, Sean Gerace, who was
working in the back of the supermarket,
grabbed several of his co-workers and the
group made their way into an upstairs stor-
age area. He grabbed a folding ladder and
tossed it out a window, helping his col-
leagues escape to safety, he told KNBC-TV.
“I grabbed an emergency ladder, barricad-
ed the hallway, grabbed a weapon, put the
REUTERS
ladder out the window and just tried to get
the attention of the SWAT officer,” Gerace
told the television station.
About three hours later, Atkins — who
had been shot in the left arm — agreed to
handcuff himself and walked out the front
door, surrounded by four of the hostages. He
was being held on $2 million bail Sunday
and it wasn’t clear if he had an attorney to
comment on the allegations.
A gun was found in the store, police said.
A 22-year-old woman was wounded by
glass fragments and later took herself to a
hospital, police said.
The Fire Department took six people to
hospitals for non-life threatening condi-

tions or injuries, police said.
Atkins’ grandmother initially was taken
to a hospital in critical condition and police
said she had been shot seven times but
Egland, who visited Madison at the hospi-
tal on Sunday, said she had only been shot
three times, had undergone surgery and her
condition was improving.
Atkins, who has two daughters, bounced
between several jobs, including working as
a security guard, but had been repeatedly
fired, Egland said. His license to work as a
security guard expired in November 2017,
according to state records. It was not clear
whether the particular license he possessed
would have allowed him to legally carry a
firearm.
His grandmother had also tried to help
him find employment and “was just trying
to make him do better,” Egland said.
Atkins never grew violent toward his
grandmother before, Egland said, but she
started to grow concerned about him over
the last several weeks because he seemed
upset and distant.
“He didn’t seem right to me,” Egland said.
“I’m just devastated.”
On Sunday, grieving family members, co-
workers and customers remembered Corado,
the Trader Joe’s worker, as lively, hardwork-
ing and always smiling. A makeshift memo-
rial of flowers, candles and notes grew on
the sidewalk outside of the store on Sunday.
“I’m sad to say she didn’t make it. My
baby sister. My world,” her brother, Albert
Corado said on Twitter.
Trader Joe’s said the store — known by
customers as a neighborhood hangout with
great customer service — would remain
closed for the foreseeable future to give
their employees time to process and grieve.
“Yesterday marks the saddest day in Trader
Joe’s history as we mourn the loss of one
our own,” company spokeswoman Kenya
Friend-Daniel said in a statement. “Our
thoughts are with her family, and our Crew
Members and customers who experienced
this terrifying and unimaginable ordeal.”

Without evidence, Trump claims documents confirm misconduct
By Zeke Miller
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BRIDGEWATER, N.J. — President Donald
Trump asserted without evidence Sunday that
newly released documents relating to the
wiretapping of his onetime campaign adviser
Carter Page “confirm with little doubt” that
intelligence agencies misled the court that
approved the warrant.
But lawmakers from both political parties
said that the documents don’t show wrongdo-
ing and that they even appear to undermine
some previous claims by top Republicans on
the basis for obtaining a warrant against
Page.
Visible portions of the heavily redacted
documents, released Saturday under the
Freedom of Information Act, show the FBI
telling the court that Page “has been collabo-
rating and conspiring with the Russian gov-
ernment.” The agency also told the court that
“the FBI believes Page has been the subject
of targeted recruitment by the Russian gov-
ernment.”
The documents were part of officials’ appli-
cation for a warrant to the secretive foreign
intelligence surveillance court, which signed
off on surveilling Page.
Trump tweeted Sunday on the documents:
“As usual they are ridiculously heavily redact-
ed but confirm with little doubt that the
Department of ‘Justice’ and FBI misled the
courts. Witch Hunt Rigged, a Scam!”
The release appears to undercut some of the
contentions in a memo prepared by House
Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep.
Trump finds it ‘inconceivable’ lawyer would tape a client
By Zeke Miller
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BRIDGEWATER, N. J. (AP) — Donald
Trump said Saturday he finds it “inconceiv-
able” that a lawyer would tape a client, as
the president weighed in after the disclosure
that in the weeks before the 2016 election,
his then-personal attorney secretly recorded
their discussion about a potential payment
for a former Playboy model’s account of
having an affair with Trump.
The recording was part of a large collec-
tion of documents and electronic records
seized earlier this year by federal authorities
from Michael Cohen, the longtime Trump
NATION
Devin Nunes earlier this year. Nunes, R-
Calif., and other Republicans had said that
anti-Trump research in a dossier prepared by
former British intelligence agent
Christopher Steele and paid for by Democrats
was used inappropriately to obtain the war-
rant on Page.
While the documents confirm that the FBI
relied, in part, on information from Steele to
obtain the initial warrant, they also show
how the FBI informed the court of his likely
motivation.
A page-long footnote in the warrant appli-
cation lays out the FBI’s assessment of
Steele’s history and the likely interest of his
backer, adding that despite the political con-
cern, the bureau believed at least some of his
report to be “credible.”
Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff of California,
a ranking member on the House Intelligence
Committee, said the documents detail “just
why the FBI was so concerned that Carter
Page might be acting as an agent of a foreign
power.”
“It was a solid application and renewals
signed by four different judges appointed by
three different Republican presidents,” Schiff

A duck boat is seen at Table Rock Lake in Branson, Missouri.
Hero, couple on 45th anniversary among boat victims
By Hanna Grabenstein
and Brian Slodysko
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BRANSON, Mo. — The 17 people killed when a tourist
boat capsized in a Missouri lake included nine members of
one family, a couple celebrating their 45th wedding
anniversary and a grandmother who family members say
saved her granddaughter’s life. A memorial service was
scheduled for Sunday afternoon for those who died when the
vessel, known as a duck boat, sank Thursday evening.
A look at the dead:
Willie Asher, 69
Rosemarie Hamann, 68
Friends say Rosemarie Hamann and William Asher were a
fun-loving couple who loved music and dancing. They lived
in the St. Louis suburb of Affton.
They had just celebrated Hamann’s 68th birthday three
days before their deaths. Hamann’s last public posting on
Facebook was a selfie with Asher. He’s sticking his tongue
out, and she’s smiling at his silliness.
Friend Russ McKay said he met the couple four years ago
when they offered to help with a charity event McKay was
organizing. The three worked on annual charities for veter-
ans in the ensuing years.
“They were so in love. It’s just heartbreaking,” McCay
said.
Janice, 63, and William Bright, 65
William and Janice Bright were in Branson to celebrate
their 45th wedding anniversary.
The Brights have three children and 16 grandchildren. In
a Facebook posting about their anniversary last month,
William reflected on the wonderful life he and his wife
shared. “Still happy,” he wrote, going on to say, “it’s hard
to believe how fast the time go ... it’s been a lot of fun.”
Neighbor Barbara Beck said the Brights moved to
Higginsville from Kansas City, Missouri, three years ago
to be closer to a daughter and their grandkids, and they rel-
ished small-town life. At least twice a week the couple would
watch the grandchildren.
The couple went to Branson as a final extended trip, say-
ing that after that, they would take only short day trips,
Beck said.
“They told me they just wanted to get out one more time
and be on their own for a little while,” Beck said.

Glenn Coleman, 40
Glenn Coleman was among nine members of one Indiana
family to die. His wife, Tia Coleman, and a 13-year-old
nephew were the only members of the family who boarded
the boat who survived. A photo of the family taken before
the fateful ride shows all 11 relatives who got onto the ves-
sel.
Glenn Coleman was a down-to-earth, laid-back father,
said Serica Franklin, a cousin of his wife. His Facebook
page is filled with photos of his family relaxing at the beach
or dressed up for an event. When their youngest, Arya
Coleman, was born last year, Glenn shared pictures of his
“baby girl” and thanked his “wonderful, amazing wife.”
He coached for 10 years in a football league for inner city
kids in Indianapolis until he had to stop because of his ware-
house job, the Indianapolis Star reported .
Reece, 9, Evan, 7, and Arya Coleman, 1
Reece Coleman loved the water and his family took the
Ride the Ducks tour because it was something he’d enjoy
doing, said his mother, Tia Coleman. She described her son,
who had autism, as “the happiest, sweetest boy,” who made
every day worth living.
Meanwhile, Evan Coleman was excited to start second
grade in a program for gifted children, Franklin said.
Franklin described Arya Coleman as a happy child who
was “all smiles.” Franklin recalled holding Arya during a
birthday party last week in Indianapolis, which will serve
as a final living memory of the family.
“I want people to know that this was a very loving, close-
knit family. Three beautiful bright children have lost their
lives,” Franklin said. “There’s no way to make sense of it
right now.”
Angela, 45, and Maxwell Coleman, 2
Angela Coleman would do anything for her family, said
her sister-in-law, Tia Coleman, who called Angela her sister
because they were so close.
Angela was the cook of the family and started a website
called Angiee’s Elegant Eats, where she shared recipes and
wrote restaurant reviews.
“This is my passion. This is my non-child centered cre-
ative outlet,” she wrote on the website . “I like to share what
I create with my friends and family and hope to give them
some ideas and inspiration along the way as countless oth-
ers have given to me.”

Duck boat company warned of
safety hazards in the last year
By John Hanna
and Gene Johnson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
A private inspector said Saturday that he warned the com-
pany operating duck boats on a Missouri lake about design
flaws putting the watercraft at greater risk of sinking, less
than a year before the accident that killed 17 people during a
sudden storm.
Steve Paul, owner of the Test Drive Technologies inspec-
tion service in the St. Louis area, said he issued a written
report for the company in August 2017. It explained why the
boats’ engines — and pumps that remove water from their
hulls — might fail in inclement weather.
He also told The Associated Press that the tourist boats’
canopies make them hard to escape when they sink — a con-
cern raised by regulators after a similar sinking in Arkansas
killed 13 people in 1999.
The accident Thursday evening on Table Rock Lake outside
the tourist town of Branson also is raising questions about
whether storm warnings in the area went unheeded and
whether any agency can keep boaters off the water when
inclement weather approaches.
“If you have the information that you could have rough
waters or a storm coming, why ever put a boat on that
water?” Paul said.
A witness’ video of the duck boat just before it capsized
suggests that its flexible plastic windows might have been
closed and could have trapped passengers as the hybrid boat-
truck went down. It does not show passengers jumping clear.
“The biggest problem with a duck when it sinks is that
canopy,” Paul said. “That canopy becomes what I’ll call a
people catcher, and people can’t get out from under that
canopy.”
A spokeswoman for Ripley Entertainment, the company
operating the duck boats in Branson, did not respond
Saturday to telephone and email messages seeking com-
ment. Spokeswoman Suzanne Smagala has noted that
Thursday’s accident was the only one in more than 40 years
of operation.
An archived version of Ripley’s website said it operates
20 duck boats in Branson and described them as “built from
the ground up under United States Coast Guard (USCG) super-
vision with the latest in marine safety.”
In central Wisconsin, Original Wisconsin Ducks in the
Dells has no plans to change how it operates after 73 years
of safe rides, general manager Dan Gavinski said. But his
company operates World War II-vintage boats, not the mod-
ified modern version.
Since 1999, duck boats have been linked to the deaths of
more than 40 people, with a troubled safety record on the
road and water alike. Their height can obscure cars, pedestri-
ans or bicycles from a driver’s view, and maintenance prob-
lems can be severe.

Bill would curb Cabinet
nuclear agency’s control
By Matthew Daly
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The agency that supervises the nation’s
nuclear weapons stockpile would essentially lose direct
Cabinet oversight under legislation that Congress is nego-
tiating.
The little-noticed provision in a defense policy bill is
opposed by the Trump administration and senior lawmakers
from both parties, but efforts to scrap it have not overcome
resistance from staffers on the Senate Armed Services
Committee.
At issue in the Senate-approved bill is whether the
National Nuclear Security Administration remains under the
direct control of the Energy Department, where it’s been
since its creation in 2000.
The bill would empower that agency to act nearly on its
own, freed from what a report by the Senate committee calls
a “flawed DOE organizational process” that has led to “weak
accountability ... insufficient program and budget expertise
and poor contract management.”
That report cites a series of delays and cost overruns at the
agency, including a contentious project to reprocess
weapons-grade plutonium and uranium into fuel for commer-
cial reactors. The cost of the Mixed Oxide Fuel Fabrication
Facility in South Carolina has ballooned from $1.4 billion
in 2004 to more than $17 billion and completion is decades
away. The Energy Department has moved to cancel the proj-
ect, but it remains open — at a cost of $1.2 million a day —
amid a legal challenge by the state of South Carolina.
The White House and Energy Secretary Rick Perry strong-
ly oppose the reorganization, saying it would usurp Perry’s
authority to set policy in crucial areas and make the nuclear
agency’s general counsel independent of the Energy
Department’s legal division.
The White House said in a statement that the bill would
block the energy secretary from directing civil and national
security functions at the agency and “degrade” the secre-
tary’s ability to protect the health, safety and security of
employees and the public.
A Perry spokeswoman, Shaylyn Hynes, called the plan
“misguided” and said it would “weaken national security
efforts by limiting DOE’s critical role in managing
America’s nuclear weapons capabilities.”
“It is in the best interest of the safety and security of all
Americans to remove this provision from the bill and con-
tinue NNSA to be represented by a Cabinet-level official,
allowing DOE and NNSA’s complementary relationship to
remain strong,” Hynes said.
The NNSA said in a statement that while intended to
improve efficiencies, “the changes put forward by the Senate
committee would significantly limit the secretary’s ability
to fulfill his nuclear security missions and ... lead to unnec-
essary duplication of effort at NNSA for work already being
carried out by DOE.”

Judge, calm in court, takes hard line on splitting families
By Elliot Spagat
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN DIEGO — U.S. District Judge Dana Sabraw appeared
conflicted in early May on whether to stop families from
being separated at the border. He challenged the Trump
administration to explain how families were getting a fair
hearing guaranteed by the Constitution, but also expressed
reluctance to get too deeply involved with immigration
enforcement.
“There are so many (enforcement) decisions that have to
be made, and each one is individual,” he said in his calm,
almost monotone voice. “How can the court issue such a
blanket, overarching order telling the attorney general,
either release or detain (families) together?”
Sabraw showed how more than seven weeks later in a blis-
tering opinion faulting the administration and its “zero tol-
erance” policy for a “crisis” of its own making. He went
well beyond the American Civil Liberties Union’s initial
request to halt family separation — which President Donald
Trump effectively did on his own amid a backlash — by
imposing a deadline of this Thursday to reunify more than
2,500 children with their families.
Unyielding insistence on meeting his deadline, displayed
in a string of hearings he ordered for updates, has made the
San Diego jurist a central figure in a drama that has capti-
vated international audiences with emotional accounts of
toddlers and teens being torn from their parents.
Circumstances changed dramatically after the ACLU sued
the government in March on behalf of a Congolese woman
and a Brazilian woman who were split from their children.
Three days after the May hearing, U.S. Attorney General
Jeff Sessions announced the zero tolerance policy on ille-
gal entry was in full effect, leading to the separation of
more than 2,300 children in five weeks.
Sabraw, writing in early June that the case could move for-
ward, found the practice “arbitrarily tears at the sacred bond
between parent and child.” It was “brutal, offensive, and
fails to comport with traditional notions of fair play and
decency.”
David Martin, professor emeritus at the University of
Virginia School of Law, said, “It’s probably not the first
judge who seemed more deferential and then got much more
active when he or she thought the government was not
being responsive or had taken a particularly objectionable
stance. Childhood separation clearly had that kind of reso-
nance.”
“The intrusion into the family is so severe, the judicial
reaction has been just like much of the public’s reaction:
‘This is an extraordinary step, you shouldn’t have done it,
you better fix it as quickly as possible,”’ said Martin, a
Newly released video shows man believed to be last of tribe
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAO PAULO — No one knows his name. No one knows
the name of the people he came from. And he appears to
have lived alone in Brazil’s Amazon for 22 years.
Video released for this first time this week by Brazil’s
Indian Foundation shows rare images of a so-called uncon-
tacted indigenous man who is believed to be the last surviv-
ing member of his tribe. The footage was shot in 2011,
though a team that tracks him says it last saw evidence he
was alive in May.
The shaky images taken from a distance through foliage
show a man chopping down a tree. The sound of his ax hit-
ting the trunk and bird calls can be heard.
The video’s release followed a press report that noted
there existed only one image of the man, captured by a doc-
umentary filmmaker in the 1990s in which the man’s face
was hidden behind foliage.
Altair Algayer, coordinator of the team that monitors the
man, said the foundation was reluctant to release the video
because it could not ask for the man’s consent. But he also
noted that such images help to draw attention to the plight

Homeland Security Department deputy
general counsel under President Barack
Obama.
Sabraw, 60, was born in San Rafael,
near San Francisco, and raised in the
Sacramento area. His father was stationed
in Japan during the Korean War, where he
met his mother.
The judge has said prejudice against
Dana Sabraw Japanese growing up made their housing
search difficult.
“In light of that experience, I was raised with a great
awareness of prejudice,” he told the North County Times
newspaper in 2003. “No doubt, there were times when I was
growing up that I felt different, and hurtful things occurred
because of my race.”
While studying at University of the Pacific’s McGeorge
School of Law, he met his wife, Summer Stephan, who was
elected San Diego County district attorney in June. He told
the Federal Bar Association magazine in 2009 that his wife
and three children, then teenagers, kept him “running from
one activity to another, and grounded in all that is good and
wonderful in life.”
Republican President George W. Bush appointed Sabraw
to the federal bench in 2003 after eight years as a state
judge. By virtue of serving in San Diego, his caseload is
heavy with immigration and other border-related crimes.
In 2010, he oversaw a settlement with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission over allegations that San Diego
officials misled investors about city pension liabilities. In
2014, he favored Apple Inc. in a closely watched patent
infringement case against the tech behemoth. In 2016, he
sided with the state of California in refusing to block a law
requiring school vaccinations.
Robert Carreido, a criminal defense attorney who esti-
mates having 20 to 30 cases before the judge, was a little
surprised how hard Sabraw came down on separating fami-
lies because he hews pretty closely to the government’s
sentencing recommendations.
“He rarely will go above what we’ve negotiated (in plea
agreements), but he doesn’t usually go much lower than
what the government recommends,” Carreido said. “In my
experience, I would consider him in the middle.”
Sabraw’s reputation for a calm, courteous demeanor and
running an efficient calendar has been clear in his highest-
profile case so far. He has kept hearings to about 90 min-
utes, telling attorneys he doesn’t want to get too “in the
weeds” on logistics of reunifying families.
“My general view is if the court has to raise its voice, or
threaten sanction, then we’ve lost control,” Sabraw told the
Daily Journal, a Los Angeles legal publication, last year. “I
never want to be in that position.”
of people who are struggling to maintain their distance
from the outside world.
“Lots of people are seeking out (this video). They want to
know what is he like, how can he be seen, is he still alive,”
Algayer said in a phone interview. “I think this ends up
helping to protect the territory.”
Brazil is home to several “uncontacted” peoples whose
lands, like those of many indigenous groups, are increas-
ingly under threat as the scramble for the resources of the
Amazon intensifies. Last year, 71 people were killed in con-
flicts over land, the most since 2003, according to the
Pastoral Land Commission, which tracks the violence.
The Indian Foundation has been monitoring the man
since 1996, when it found him already living alone in the
forest in Rondonia state. It believes encroachment and
attacks by farmers and loggers that began in the 1980s dec-
imated the man’s tribe. The last of his fellow tribesmen
appeared to have been killed in an attack in 1995 or 1996.
In recent years, though, no one has tried to enter the pro-
tected area where he lives, the foundation said.
The team that tracks him calls him “the Indian of the
hole” because of an unusual hole that he dug, Algayer said.

Editor,
It is with the utmost concern that I’m
writing this letter pertaining to the cost
of living here in San Mateo County.
With no rent control here, my family’s
rent has been increased a total of
$1,400 over the last five years. In my
opinion this is causing two types of
problems.
First, people who do not make over
$100,000 a year have to cut back on
things such as sending their kids to
soccer practice or swimming lessons.
Such cutbacks are detrimental to our
youth. I do not mean to be pessimistic
but this could have a negative effect on
things such as their academic achieve-
ment.
Secondly, the rising costs of living
are driving people out of the area at
alarming rates.

job for the last seven years and I can
attest to the fact that I’ve never seen
people move out of the area at this

Why President
Trump should be removed
Editor,
We should remove President Donald
Trump from office because his adminis-
tration is having negative impacts on
immigrants. Trump himself is a racist
person that targets immigrants and
wants to change everything to benefit
“Americans.”
We shouldn’t re-elect our president
because he causes controversy in the
United States. He causes so much con-
troversy with so many things that they
have gotten out of hand. For example,
he signed an executive order that
banned refugees and allowed immigrate
children to be separated from their par-
ents. His administration, according to
Washington Post, wants to extend the
separation of the children to more than
20 days.
He also raises many conflicts with
other countries, such as Russia, and
with people in general. He says mis-
leading information and always contra-
dicts himself. He appears uneducated
and acts like a fool most of the time. He
enforces racism towards immigrants
and sends negative messages to others.
His supporters also act negatively

A summer warning
Editor,
Please give a warning to your readers.
California children have died recently as
the result of being left inside a parent’s
car on a hot day. Although many if not
most states have passed laws against
leaving children alone in a parked car (as
well as pets and people with disabilities),
those laws are ignored, both knowingly
and unknowingly. People still don’t
understand how dangerously hot the inte-
rior of a car or truck can get and how
quickly it can happen. The temperature
inside a car with the windows rolled up
can rise as much as 20 degrees in 10 min-
utes. Within an hour, the interior of a car
can easily become hot enough to cause
heat stroke, which can prove fatal to chil-
dren, an elderly or disabled person, or a
pet. Even on cloudy days, inside tempera-
tures can reach dangerous levels. Because
of this risk, the national weather services
uses a slogan: “Look before you lock!”
TV and radio stations across the country
have joined this effort, and a number of
websites and video are available that
focus on this important message.

from Helsinki, but what I did see was a council respectful
to all speakers both pro and con, and a willingness from
the organizers of P and the city to come together to work
things out before a decision is made Aug. 6.

which I supported, has served the city well. H is the grand-
father of P. It prevented an inappropriate downtown high
rise and protected San Mateo from becoming another
Redwood City. In 2004,
when I was on the coun-
cil, I supported the renew-
al of Measure P.
Now it is 2018 and
much has changed. An
entire new era of mobility
is upon us since the origi-
nal Measure H was passed
in 1991. We can’t say for
sure what the immediate
impact of autonomous
vehicles will be for down-
town and the need for
parking but it will be
very different from today.
That is why I was disap-
pointed that the Measure P proponents didn’t wait until
2020 to refine the measure to meet the needs of the next
decade. Probably they wanted to move ahead early to seek
some controls over an updated general plan now in
process. But there is time for the council and proponents
to reach a compromise: with the council putting the meas-
with the agreement of the proponents to make a few
changes so that dueling initiatives will not be necessary.
The council is considering a counter measure to boost
height and density near the transit stations beyond what
Measure P allows.
***
Let’s keep the Measure P height limits near the train sta-
tions but allow increased density. Here are some things to
consider: Many young professionals and workers today use
transit and don’t own cars. It’s cheaper. When they need a
ride they use Lyft or Uber, services which may become
much cheaper when the cars are self-driving. Many includ-
ing teachers, especially potential new hires, who cannot
afford rents here, would not mind exchanging a more
affordable rent for less space, especially if they don’t have
large families. Providing parking is a big cost for any
developer. The money saved by limiting the amount of
parking could make units more affordable because an
increase in allowable density would mean more units could
be built.
Also consider that in the new world of self-driving vehi-
cles (you may not use one but the younger generation will)
the need for parking will substantially decrease. That may
make more land available for development but the council
needs to make sure that new space is well used, in fact
maybe adding some additional open space downtown. A
growing trend is to separate the cost of a unit and the cost
of a parking place. Again, that would save money for some
renters who either don’t own a car or are willing to give up
a parking spot in the building’s garage.
Hopefully, the council and the community will take the
long view, be flexible about some of the restrictions set up
almost 30 years ago, and agree on a common initiative.
After Measure H passed, there was much bitterness in the
community between those who supported it and those who
opposed it. It took a while to heal those wounds, for the
neighborhood associations and the Chamber of Commerce
to work together on common goals. It would be sad to see
a repeat of those days. Let’s have one initiative which con-
tinues the good work of Measure H while at the same time
allowing an increase in growth adjacent to transit centers.

Pundits are trying to figure out why Trump submitted to
Putin’s dominance at their meeting in Helsinki. Putin
arrived an hour late, even though it’s just a ferry ride from
Russia to Finland. Almost all agree on both sides of the
aisle that it was an embarrassing display and made the
United States look weak. My take on Trump’s behavior,
and he is no fool, is that he acted deliberately despite
admonitions from his advisors, because he wants Putin to
help him win another election in 2020. Some say what he
did was treasonous. I say it was clever. He will need all the
help he can get.

Ailing auto CEO Marchionne Private messaging apps are more
had multiple roles, no script frequently used for public business
By Colleen Barry
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MILAN — Sergio Marchionne’s achieve-
ments as one of the automotive world’s most
charismatic chief executives include the bold
trans-Atlantic merger of Italian carmaker Fiat
and U.S. No. 3 Chrysler after he restored both
to health.
But Marchionne told analysts during a big
presentation last month that his true legacy
at Fiat Chrysler Automotive would be the cul-
ture of a corporation where “mediocrity is
never, ever worth the trip.”
The Italian-Canadian always insisted a
replacement would come from the ranks of
his hand-picked and tested team, managers
who met his exacting standards. Asked if he
planned to leave a script behind when he
stepped down next year as planned,
Marchionne said that wouldn’t be necessary.
“There is no script or instructions.
Instructions are institutional and tempo-
rary,” he said. “FCA is a culture of leaders.”
Marchionne, 66, was hastily replaced as
CEO of Fiat Chrysler on Saturday after the
company announced that his health had
taken a turn for the worse following shoulder
surgery last month in Zurich, Switzerland.
Details of the complications and his condi-
tion were not disclosed, but the company
said they prevented him from returning to
work.
The head of Jeep and Ram, Mike Manley,
was picked to replace Marchionne. The
Briton was a key executive on Marchionne’s
team, growing the quintessentially American
Jeep brand into a global marquee and giving
it a belated foothold in China.
Fiat Chairman John Elkann, in a letter to
Fiat’s 236,000 employees Sunday, called
Marchionne a ‘’true, rare kind of leader” and
lauded him as ‘’the best CEO that anyone
could ask for and to me personally, a true
mentor, partner, close friend.”
Elkann, the 42-year-old heir of the Agnelli
family that founded Fiat in 1899, remem-
bered Marchionne coming to the Italian car-
maker in 2004 at “one of the darkest
moments” for the long-struggling company.
“It was his intellect, perseverance and lead-
ership that saved Fiat,” Elkann wrote in the
letter. ‘’He taught us to have the courage to
challenge the status quo, to break with con-
vention and go beyond the tried and tested.”
The Fiat-Chrysler merger remains the
crown jewel in the 14-year Marchionne era,
an accomplishment built on a series of dar-
ing plays.
In 2005, the trained lawyer who studied
philosophy demonstrated his deal-making
skill by getting GM to pay $2 billion to

sever ties with Fiat as part
of a failed cross-border
tie-up. The money was
pivotal to relaunching
the failing carmaker.
Then in 2009, he
secured a deal with a then-
new U.S. President
Barack Obama to take
Sergio over bankrupt Chrysler
Marchionne without Fiat having to
put a penny down in
exchange for Fiat’s small car technology.
Other essential corporate moves included
the spin-off of the heavy industrial vehicle
and truck maker CNH and of the Ferrari super-
car maker. Both deals unlocked considerable
shareholder value for Agnelli family heirs.
Analysts at Albert Bridge Capital calculat-
ed that the companies controlled by the
Agnelli family’s holding company grew in
value from 6 billion euros at the start of
Marchionne’s tenure to over 60 billion euros
today.
But his ambition to complete another big
deal — a merger with American carmaker GM
— was not realized. The failure ultimately
made it easier for Marchionne to contemplate
giving up day-to-day control of FCA after
delivering 2018 earns.
Marchionne also has been replaced as CEO
of Ferrari and chairman of CNH Industrial. He
had planned to update the financial communi-
ty on his 5-year plan for the super sports car
maker in September, which was expected to
include details of how he envisioned trans-
forming it to a luxury goods company
beyond cars. That will fall to the new CEO,
Louis Camilleri, a former manager at Philip
Morris.
Fiat analyst Philippe Houchois of Jeffries
Financial Group said Marchionne’s departure
would ‘’test his cultural legacy sooner than
expected.” He predicted significant share
price volatility for both FCA and Ferrari
when markets resume trading Monday.
Houchois noted that other carmakers were
reconsidering capital spending, in some
ways echoing Marchionne’s insistence that
the industry needed to tackle the high cost of
investment in new technologies
‘’In our view, Mr. Marchionne’s industry
thinking cannot be overstated,” Houchois
said.
As part of his efforts to revamp Ferrari,
Marchionne focused heavily on Formula
One, arguing that more prestige for the rac-
ing side would increase the carmaker’s value.
Ferrari manager Maurizio Arrivabene
affirmed at the German Grand Prix in
Hockenheim that the pair always worked
together on strategy.

SAN FRANCISCO — New Zealand winger
Akuila Rokolisoa took the offload from
Trael Joass and split two English defenders.
Seconds later he was somersaulting over the
tryline with the ball, but he might as well
have been carrying the Melrose Cup.
New Zealand rolled past England 33-12 on
Sunday with a performance that featured
speed, strength and a stout defense to repeat
as Rugby World Cup Sevens champions and
become the first three-time winner of the
tournament.
The All Blacks Sevens players ripped off
their shirts but kept their gold medals on for
a celebratory post-match Haka on the same
field where the Black Ferns won the women’s
competition less than 24 hours earlier. The
results meant back-to-back World Cup dou-
bles for the New Zealand teams.
“We were really proud of the girls how
they played those two days,” New Zealand
men’s sevens captain Scott Curry said. “It’s
awesome to kind of simulate what they did
earlier and go back-to-back for the first time
ever. It’ll be good to go home with two
World Cups, that’s for sure.”
Rokolisoa’s try with less than a minute
left pushed New Zealand’s advantage to 14
points and Joass’ try on the final movement
was merely an exclamation point to the
match and the beginning of the celebration.

Pacifica rides late firepower to Joe D championship game
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
What an explosive three days it has been
for the Pacifica Gamecocks to open the Joe
DiMaggio League state championship tour-
nament.
Through three wins, the Gamecocks have
outscored opponents 33-10. But that’s a
misleading discrepancy. Since a 10-0 mercy-
rule win over Vacaville in last Friday’s tour-
nament opener, Pacifica has relied on late-
game rallies, including overcoming a four-
run deficit against San Bruno to rally for an
8-7 win in Saturday’s quarterfinals, then
breaking a 3-all tie against River City with
a 12-run rally in the fifth for a 15-3 win in
Sunday’s semifinals.
Pacifica now advances to the Joe D cham-
pionship game, slated for Tuesday at noon at
the Veterans Home of California, Yountville.
“I feel real good,” Pacifica manager Bryan
Powers said. “Right now, our pitching staff
is going to be full-go on Tuesday. … I
think, from an arms standpoint, we’re in a

Travis Benham has
been at the forefront of
all three Pacifica wins. At
the plate, he is 5 for 8
with two doubles and six
RBIs in the tournament.
On the mound, he worked
four solid innings
Sunday as the
Travis Benham Gamecocks’ starting
pitcher to earn the win. It
was his first outing since pitching in the
semifinal game of the Fourth of July tourna-
ment, also the Veterans Home.
“Travis, in my opinion, he has been the
biggest pickup we’ve had (this season),”
Powers said. “I thought he was just going to
be an arm and he’s been very valuable for
us.”
Having played for San Francisco Trinity
in previous Joe D seasons, Benham — a
Pacifica native — switched teams this sum-
mer proceeding his graduating from
Archbishop Riordan High School.
Benham’s pitching performance Sunday
kept Pacifica in it until the bats got going.
River City — coached by Pacifica native
Doug Hughes — jumped out to a 3-1 lead
after two innings, but the Gamecocks
bounced back to tie it 3-3 in the top of the
third. Benham responded by setting down
ering 42 2/3 innings with New York and
Oakland this season.
Leaving the Mets was hard for Familia, but
not unexpected.
“I spent 11 years there, six years in the big
leagues,” Familia said. “It was really tough to
say goodbye to some of those guys. I was pre-
pared mentally. It was tough but I also knew
that it was coming.”
Familia had 123 saves with the Mets. In
Oakland, he will split closing duties with All-
Star Blake Treinen. Treinen was unavailable
Sunday after throwing 40 pitches on Saturday.
“What a great first look,” A’s manager Bob
Melvin said. “When you come to a new team
the last six batters he faced.
Then the Pacifica lineup responded with a
12-spot in the top of the fifth, sending 16
batters to the plate in the inning.
“We’ve had a couple (innings this season)
where we had like 5-run innings, 6- or 7-run
innings, but nothing like that,” Powers
said.
Pacifica opened the frame by relying on
some small-ball. Diani Shanahan started the
rally with a single, and pinch-hitter Tyler
Shaw followed with sacrifice bunt to move
Shanahan into scoring position. After a sin-
gle by Nate Gordon put runners at the cor-
ners, Andrew Roy gave the Gamecocks the
lead with an RBI single to left.
Then the floodgates opened.
“Then, obviously, the lineup just turned
itself over and the hitting was contagious,”
Powers said.
Starting with Gordon’s single, 12 straight
Pacifica batters reached, with Roy later
adding a two-run double to record a two-hit
inning.
Pacifica turned to its bullpen in the bot-
tom of the fifth, with right-hander Nate
Rumb retiring the side in order to close out
the mercy-rule victory. It was Rumb’s second
appearance in as many days, and a good
bounce-back performance after a rough out-
ing Saturday against San Bruno in which he

Khris Davis and Matt Olson each homered

tive sellout crowd at the Coliseum.
Semien drew a leadoff walk against Ty Blach

Stephen Piscotty’s deep flyout to center. After
Davis was walked intentionally and Olson
flew out, Chapman drove in Semien with an
infield single that bounced just past All-Star
shortstop Brandon Crawford into left field.
“It was a high enough hop that I thought I

surrendered five runs over 1 2/3 innings.
In the San Bruno game, Rumb walked off
the mound after the top of the fifth with
Pacifica trailing 6-2. But the Gamecocks ral-
lied for three in the bottom of the inning,
then three more in the sixth to take the lead.
In the fifth, Benham had the big hit on a
bases-loaded double to clear the bases. Then
in the sixth — after San Bruno produced a
run in the top of the frame — Pacifica tied it
before Benham produced the go-ahead run on
a sacrifice fly to score Sowyrda.
Sowyrda fired two innings of relief to earn
the win, pitching through a single by Vinny
Pellegrini in the top of the seventh to close
out the 8-7 victory.
Powers said the win over San Bruno was
pivotal.
“Obviously winning that second game,
it’s just huge,” Powers said. “I mean, San
Bruno has been our rival in Joe D for like 50
years. … But now, losing that game, they’re
going to have to win five games in three
days, which is tough.”
San Bruno bounced back Sunday in an
elimination game with a win over Napa. San
Bruno must now win twice Monday to
advance to Tuesday’s championship round.

be defeated twice Tuesday to cede the cham-
pionship in the double-elimination format.

“But it came down a lot steeper than I thought
it was going to. That’s what caused me to miss
it. I think it did end up hitting my foot.”
Andrew McCutchen homered for San
Francisco. Austin Slater collected three hits,
Pablo Sandoval had a pinch-hit, two-run sin-
gle and Nick Hundley added two hits and
scored twice.
San Francisco didn’t have a baserunner until
the fifth inning and trailed 4-1 before scoring
three in the seventh and one in the eighth.
McCutchen homered on a 3-2 pitch from
former San Francisco reliever Yusmeiro Petit
in the eighth.

Super Region tournament is proof positive
the White Sox have made strides this year.
With the top two finishers in the Super

enough to see PenCities move on.
This year, the White Sox outscored oppo-
nents through the four wins at Santa Clara’s

including back-to-back shutouts through the
quarter and semifinals. A 4-2 win last Friday

got to have the pitching to do it.”
Two Carlmont graduates dominated to fire
the consecutive shutouts. In a previous quar-
terfinal matchup against All-Star Academy,
right-hander Lucas Billot went the distance
in a 10-0 win. Then in last Thursday’s semi-
finals, a 4-0 win over the Santa Clara Red
Sox, right-hander Mitchell Plane set down
nine of the last 10 batters he faced en route
to a three-hit shutout.
“The Carlmont kids were big,” Souza said.
“They played really well.”
Plane has been a cornerstone two-way
player for the White Sox all summer, and
showed it Thursday. In addition to his domi-
nant pitching exploits, he went 1 for 4 with
an RBI double at the plate.
“He was great, ” Souza said. “He was
sharp. He is tough because he changes arm
angles so well and changes speeds so well.
He talked me out of DH-ing for him and had
a good game at the plate. So, he was big.”
Then in Friday’s championship game, the
Manuel under 65 pitches — making him
available for a potential championship
round starting Thursday — right-hander
Nate Coughlin entered in relief in the
fourth. And boy did he bridge the middle
innings, working 1 2/3 while striking out
five. Beau Schaffer fired a shutout inning in
the top of the sixth to earn the win.
Hillsborough now advances to the win-
ners’ bracket semifinal to face Maidu Little

HMB falls to elimination bracket
Half Moon Bay made history in Saturday’s
Division 2 Little League Northern
California Majors opener, rallying for a 16-
private-school kid out of Sacred Heart Prep,
left-hander Angelo Tonas, showed up to
bring home the championship, working five
innings to earn the win in the 9-2 victory.
The Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division
Pitcher of the Year for SHP in the spring,
Tonas is a commit to Georgetown University,
and therefore had his innings limited at the
start of the summer. He made his first start for
Souza in late June, and has quickly earned ace
credentials. In fact, Souza said Tonas would
have pitched earlier in the Super Region tour-
nament but the southpaw didn’t return until
Friday from a family vacation.
And, so, the White Sox went into the
championship game with their ace on the
mound.
“It just kind of worked out that way,”
Souza said. “It was probably the first time
going into a championship game situation
with my ace.”
Right-hander Nathan Peng gives
PenCities another surefire ace, though. The
recent graduate of Saratoga High School fea-

first team from the Coastside ever to earn a

Sunday, however, HMB fell to the elimi-
nation bracket with a 10-5 loss to Tri-City
at Alta Mesa Park in Redding.
In Saturday’s opener, HMB opened in
thrilling fashion as its first four batters of
the tourney reached base; Ben Cleary,
Charlie Underwood and Liam Harrington
each singled before Ian Armstrong belted a
first-inning grand slam.
“It was a great start,” HMB manager Don

But Sunday, it was Tri-City which found

was used exclusively in relief throughout
the regular season. Souza, though,
unleashed the big righty to start the Super
Region opener. He responded by striking
out 12 through six innings to earn the win.
It was a comeback win, as PenCities
trailed 2-0 early. But a two-run single by
Elliot Biagini in the fifth gave the White
Sox the lead. Right-hander Jaxon Skidmore
retired the side in order in the seventh to
earn the save.
West Zone play opens Thursday. The
eight-team, double-elimination tournament
features squads from three states, including
six from California (four Southern
California, and two Northern California)
along with one team from Hawaii, and one
from Washington state.
The White Sox took third place last year,
and earned runner-up honors in 2009 and
’11. The winner advances to the Palomino
World Series in Laredo, Texas, beginning
Thursday, Aug. 2.
HMB sparked some offense with two hits
from each Harrington and Cleary.
“We battled back a bit,” Scatena said.
HMB now takes on Turlock American
Monday at 5 p.m.
“I’m not hugely concerned with getting
through [the elimination bracket],” Scatena
said. “We have the pitching and the kids
have the mental toughness. I’m more con-
cerned about the timing of our games.”
Scatena’s concerns were about the temper-
atures of the early-evening starts. He said
the heat is still a factor a 5 p.m., unlike the
later 7:30 p.m. starts. HMB has yet to play
a later game.

“I look forward to reuniting with

Mike Sherman, the former Green
Bay coach and GM who lured
Manziel to College Station, told
COACH
Continued from page 11
The most memorable moment in
Sparano’s 19-year NFL coaching
career came in 2008, when he was
a rookie head coach with the
Miami Dolphins, inheriting a
team that had gone 1-15 the previ-
ous season. In Week 3 he surprised
Belichick with a single wing-style
formation that the Dolphins called
the wildcat, and they won at New
England 38-13.
The wildcat became a fad around
the league, and the stunning upset
propelled Sparano’s team to 11
wins and the AFC East title. It’s
one of two playoff berths for the
franchise since 2002.
That was Sparano’s lone win-
ning season, and he was fired in
2011 after going 29-32 in Miami.
He was popular with his players,
but a dismal home record, declin-
ing attendance and a falling-out
with general manager Jeff Ireland
accelerated his firing by owner
Stephen Ross.
Sparano was the Oakland Raiders’
CFL brief
the Montreal Gazette.
Montreal also got offensive
linemen Tony Washington and
Landon Rice from the Tiger-Cats
for defensive end Jamaal
Westerman, wide receiver Chris
Williams and first-round draft
picks in 2020 and 2021.
The Alouettes made the move a
day after starting quarterback Drew
Willy sustained his second injury
of the season. Montreal backup
Jeff Mathews also is out with a
interim head coach in 2014 after the
team fired Dennis Allen, and he went
3-9. He also worked as an assistant
for the Browns, Redskins, Jaguars,
Cowboys and 49ers, and most
recently for Vikings coach Mike
Zimmer.
“I love Tony Sparano,” Zimmer
said in a statement. “He was a great
teacher, a grinder of a worker and had
a toughness and fighting spirit that
showed in our linemen. He was a
great husband, father and grandfather
and a great friend to me. This is just
sinking in for us, but Tony will be
sorely missed by all.”
Sparano’s former players also paid
tribute.
“Heart broken and lost for words!
We lost a great man,” tweeted Brian
Hartline, who played receiver for
Sparano in Miami.
“Damn I’m at a loss for words,”
tweeted Raiders Pro Bowl tackle
Donald Penn. “Coach Sparano
taught me so much not just about
football about life also.”
Sparano played at the University
of New Haven where he was a four-
year letterman. He was hired as New
Haven’s head coach in 1994 and held
that position for five seasons.
In Miami, Sparano lost his first
SPORTS
foot injury, leaving third-stringer
Matt Shiltz to play the final three
quarters Saturday night in a 25-8
loss at Calgary.
“We have acquired an exceptional
quarterback with undeniable talent,”
Alouettes general manager Kavis
Reed said in a statement in a team
release. “With his great mobility,
his athletic abilities and his instinct
we believe that he will have a posi-
tive impact on our offence. Landon
Rice and Tony Washington are two
skilled players that will consider-
ably solidify our offensive line.”
two games before turning to the
wildcat. Six times they ran plays
from the formation at New England,
snapping the ball directly to run-
ning back Ronnie Brown, and four
of those plays resulted in touch-
downs.
“It was like playing hide and go
seek, making them guess,” Brown
said at the time.
Sparano said the Dolphins began
practicing the wildcat during train-
ing camp but waited until the
Patriots game to spring it.
“This is not something that just
came up and we scribbled on the
board a couple of days ago,” the
coach said.
Defenses soon adjusted, and a
sputtering offense in Sparano’s final
two seasons at Miami contributed to
his firing. But the Dolphins haven’t
won at New England since the wild-
cat game.
“We were saddened to learn of
Tony Sparano’s tragic and unex-
pected passing,” owner Ross said
in a statement. “Tony made an
indelible impact on our team’s
history. His toughness, grit and
leadership were evident to every-
one who had the chance to coach
with or play for him.”
Harvick uses bump-and-run on

Kyle Busch
zipped to the
front with a textbook bump-and-run
that led to a beer-soaked celebration
and left Busch fuming — the move
of the race in another stellar show-
case for the leader of the Big Three.
Harvick outdueled Busch over the
final 10 laps to win a thrilling bat-
tle of two of NASCAR’s dominant
drivers Sunday at New Hampshire
Motor Speedway.
“I felt like it was my best oppor-
tunity to do what I had to do to win,”
Harvick said. “I didn’t want to wreck
him. But I didn’t want to waste a
bunch of time behind him.”
Busch, the temperamental 2015
series champion, had a different view.
Monday • July 23, 2018 15
“I think he could have made the
move work cleaner than that,”
Busch said.
Busch said he expected for
Harvick to keep trying for the deci-
sive pass until there were about two
or three laps left.
“I figured that’s exactly what he
had was thinking,” Harvick said, smil-
to ing. “I knew I needed to take the
opportunity as soon as I could get
it. We needed to do it when he was-
n’t expecting it.”
Harvick crew chief Rodney
Childers had exhorted Harvick over
the radio to do what he needed to do
to snag that checkered flag.
“He was in the lane that I needed
to be in and as you get to the end,”
Harvick said, “you’ve got to be
aggressive.”
Harvick raced to his sixth victory
of the season for Stewart-Haas
Racing and finished in the top two
in some order with Busch for the
fourth time this year.
Harvick, Busch and Martin
Truex Jr. — NASCAR’s Big Three
— have won a combined 15 times
in the 20 Cup races. Busch has
five wins and Truex, who was
fourth Sunday, has four.
There was nearly an outlier in a
race delayed more than three hours
by rain.
Aric Almirola, who replaced
retired Danica Patrick this season
in the No. 10 Ford, threatened to
crash the party and win his second
career Cup race. He led for more
than 40 laps late until he was
derailed by a poor pit stop and
then spun his tires on a restart that
likely cost him his first win since
July 2014.

‘Equalizer 2’ squeaks past ‘Mamma Mia 2’ Meeting Frida
W
By Lindsay Bahr
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
In the battle of two very different sequels
at the box office this weekend, Denzel
Washington’s action pic “The Equalizer 2”
has narrowly won out over the ABBA juke-
box musical “Mamma Mia! Here We Go
Again.”
Studios on Sunday estimate that the R-
rated Denzel Washington joint grossed
$35.8 million from North American theaters
over the weekend. It’s Washington’s first
ever sequel and the biggest opening of direc-
tor Antoine Fuqua’s career. The first
“Equalizer,” from 2014, opened similarly
and went on to earn over $190 million
worldwide.
Second place went to Universal Pictures’
“Mamma Mia 2,” which took in $34.4 mil-
lion, a sum that was driven by an audience
that was 83 percent female and 64 percent
over the age of 25. The film brought back
much of the original cast, like Meryl Streep,
Amanda Seyfried and Pierce Brosnan, and
added Cher, Andy Garcia and Lily James to
the mix. Critics overall gave the sequel bet-
Sailors tell the U.S. Navy, ‘We want beards’
THE ASSOCIATED PRES
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Now that women in
the Navy can wear ponytails, men want
beards.
The Navy said last week that service-
women could sport ponytails, lock hair-
styles, or ropelike strands, and wider hair
buns, reversing a policy that long forbade
women from letting their hair down.
Servicemen immediately chimed in on
social media, asking the Navy if they could
grow beards. A sailor’s Facebook post with
a #WeWantBeards hashtag was shared thou-
sands of times.
Beards were banned in 1984. The Navy
wanted professional-looking sailors who
could wear firefighting masks and breathing
apparatuses without interference.

Assistant City Manager Aaron Aknin
said in 2016 KDF Communities submitted
plans and obtained a building permit. The
company was scheduled to begin rebuilding
by December 2017 and complete the project
within a year, but that never happened.
Aknin said construction started and stopped
several times, adding that the stall initially
may have had something to do with a dis-
agreement between KDF Communities and
its insurance company, which took a while
to settle, and now the company may have a
disagreement with its investors.
According to the blog post, the city was
informed last year that KDF Communities

which still went on to
gross over $600 million

“We consider this a ter-
rific opening,” said Jim
Orr, Universal’s presi-
dent of domestic distribu-
tion. “And knowing the
Denzel audience for these types
Washington of films, we are going to
have a very healthy run at
the domestic and worldwide box office. This
is a very fun, very uplifting movie that peo-
ple need right now.”
It’s also a rare showdown of two star-driv-
en films that succeeded in targeting two very
different audiences.
“It’s amazing how well-matched these con-
tenders are,” said comScore senior media
analyst Paul Dergarabedian. “Both studios
really did a great job of marketing each of
these movies to their target audience. It’s
classic counter-programming.”
Sequels powered the top six spots at the
domestic box office this weekend and eight
out of the top 10 overall. “Hotel
The Navy says that’s still the case. Still,
some hope the change in female grooming
standards opens the door.
Travis Rader, a 29-year-old naval physical
security officer, said allowing beards would
boost morale for men, just like allowing
ponytails and locks has for women. There
are two things that would make many Navy
men happy: beards and better boots, he
added.
Rader had a 6-inch-long beard when he
joined the Navy after high school.
“You take something away from some-
body, and they want it more,” said Rader, a
master-at-arms assigned to Tinker Air Force
Base in Oklahoma City.
The Navy announced it was adding groom-
ing options for women during a Facebook
Live event. Many black women had asked
could not “work out financing options” and
decided to sell the property, but the status of
those plans is unclear.
KDF could not be reached for comment.
After KDF Communities bought the build-
ing for $8 million in 2003, the city provid-
ed a loan to the company to help refinance
the building and convert the rental units
from market rate to below market rate. The
terms of the loan require the units to be
affordable to very-low-income renters until
2058, according to the post. Those rent
restrictions will continue when the proper-
ty is rebuilt and no matter who owns it.
“Achieving housing security for all in the
community is a priority for Redwood City
and part of the city’s housing strategy is to
convert market rate rental properties to
affordable housing, ” Horrigan said.
“Hallmark Apartments is an example of this
type of affordable housing strategy.”
The fire is believed to have started in a
third-floor unit where a now-deceased man
was cooking at about 1:45 a.m. The fire
then moved through the 1964 complex,
which was not outfitted with sprinklers.
Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation” came in
third with $23.2 million in its second week-
end, “Ant-Man and the Wasp” took fourth
place with $16.1 million in its third week-
end, “Incredibles 2” landed in fifth with
$11.5 million, and “Jurassic World: Fallen
Kingdom” came in sixth with $11 million.
The weekend’s other big new opener,
“Unfriended: Dark Web,” also a sequel, scared
up $3.5 million for a ninth-place start. The
only two originals in the top 10 were
“Skyscraper” and “Sorry to Bother You.”
“People are enjoying these films,” said
Dergarabedian. “It doesn’t matter if there’s a
number after the title.”
And yet there are still original films and
documentaries making their own modest
impact on the charts, including
“Blindspotting,” a buddy comedy with some
serious themes about race and class starring
Tony-winner Daveed Diggs that opened in
14 theaters and made an estimated
$332,500.
“Movies like ‘Sorry to Bother You’ and
‘Blindspotting’ are showing that in the sum-
mer people don’t live by blockbusters
alone,” Dergarabedian said.
the Navy to be more inclusive of different
hair textures. The Navy had the standards in
place because of safety concerns and to
ensure everyone maintained a uniform, pro-
fessional look.
Rader was one of several sailors who
wrote in the comments section of the
Facebook Live event to press for beards.
Bill Williams, a 20-year-old naval informa-
tion systems technician, commented too,
asking why sailors can’t have beards if
bearded civilian firefighters wear masks.
Williams said he thinks a nice, well-
groomed beard looks professional.
“It’d be great because I know that when I
shave for multiple days in a row, it starts to
really hurt,” said Williams, who works at the
Naval Computer and Telecommunications
Station Hampton Roads in Virginia.
One-hundred people were displaced and 21
people were injured.
Many former tenants at Hallmark House
Apartments sued the owner for the lack of
sprinklers and smoke detectors at the build-
ing.
After the fire and another on Woodside
Road that gutted another building, the City
Council approved a loan forgiveness pro-
gram for property owners required to install
fire sprinklers to their older buildings that
has a rent stabilization component to it.
The Fire Safety First Program provides an
incentive for owners to retrofit the at-risk
residential buildings during a five-year vol-
untary compliance period in exchange for an
agreement to slow rent increases.
All properties with four or more units built
before July 1, 1989, must install sprinklers
within five years. Those who do so voluntar-
ily will be able to secure a low-income loan
from the city which may be forgiven if prop-
erty owners agree not to raise rents more
than 5 percent a year for at least five years.

e first met Frida, a dog at the very
heart of my family for the last 15
years, when she was part of the
reason for the watermelon-sized belly on
the bedraggled, ready-to-burst pregnant bea-
gle, a stray rescued by PHS/SPCA. Once it
became clear that the pregnancy was too far
along for other options, my wife Carolyn
decided we needed to
foster the mom and
whomever popped out.
Seven pups were the
immediate result. Two
months later, with
homes for mom and
six, Frida was
Carolyn’s choice for
the one who got to stay
(I thought we might end
up with mom and the
whole bunch. We’ve always been better at
keeping than at fostering). Dad’s identity?
Anyone’s guess. I always thought collie
was a possibility but that’s probably less
about her long, silky hair and more because
I liked calling Frida our “bialy” (you know,
be-ollie). Her look, like her personality,
was one of a kind. 
Always amazingly loving, although
never simple or easy, Frida enriched and
complicated our lives in equal measure. She
was the exception to the rule “mutts are
healthier” and I am certain her many surger-
ies and treatments paid for several vets’
kids’ college educations. But all that she
gave in return repaid us in ways far more
important than dollars. With the world’s
best smile, a face better described as heart-
warmingly sweet rather than just pretty
(although she was pretty!), Frida exuded
joyfulness. She literally turned heads wher-
ever we went, making instant friends and
fans of strangers even on our last trip –
looking aged and not her best – just a few
months ago. I couldn’t count how many
times we heard “Can I take a selfie with your
dog?” She was the dog who hugged you and
made you feel loved and special no matter
what else was going wrong. Every inch of
her vibrating, almost a purr plus a hint of
happy grunts, Frida would bury her whole
self (body and more than just body) into
you every chance she got and, instantly, the
world was a better place. The world is now
far less so.

Jonathan Gold, Pulitzer-winning restaurant critic, dies
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Jonathan Gold, who

The Los Angeles Times , where Gold most

further study and removal, said Fried.
In studying the 13 trees pegged for further
study and reviewing the report written by the
consultant, Fried and another tree specialist
determined at least 12 additional trees could
be very costly for the city to maintain. The
28 trees Fried and the consultants recom-
mended for removal are clustered around the
paved path extending from the northwest
corner of the park to its center and along the
park’s southern border. They also recom-
mended stump grinding and replacement of
the 28 trees to be removed as well as pruning

development, project

support, feeding into a
six-month internship.
Those who complete the
one-year program may
field job offers from
Jay Hammond Facebook, or take their
advanced skills to the
workforce elsewhere.
Studies show the program, which has
served more than 2,330 young adults
throughout the Bay Area since 2008, is
working. Year Up participants earn 53 per-
cent more than other, similar young adults,
according to a press release, and start with
salaries in the neighborhood of about
$47,000 annually. Facebook alone has hired
91 Year Up graduates.
Recognizing many often cannot afford to
sacrifice a paycheck while focusing on edu-
cation or professional development, Year Up
participants also receive a stipend while
enrolled.
Though Fried acknowledged some reports
of the dangers of eucalyptus trees can exag-
gerate their risks, he said those studying
them also weighed the benefits of replacing
each one removed with either a coast live or
valley oak trees, boosting the park’s tree
diversity and the concerns residents have
had about their potential to fall or lose
limbs in windy or stormy conditions.
“To have trees and to appreciate trees is to
accept some degree of risk,” he said.
As someone who regularly visits the park
with his children, Virgil Thompson won-
dered whether the trees Fried recommended
for removal could be pruned instead.
Thompson said the park’s tree canopy is
unique in providing shade and natural beauty
for those who use it, and was also concerned
about access during removal.
“We love the eucalyptus, we love the way
that they look, we love the shade of them,”
he said. “It’s a special place that looks beau-

Eric Garcetti said in a statement. “Jonathan

but he possessed the soul of a poet whose
words helped readers everywhere understand
the history and culture of our city.”
The Times noted Gold’s reviews, appear-
ing in his column called Counter

Bernita Dillard, a public policy manager
specializing in recruitment for Facebook,
said she was encouraged to build the rela-
tionship between the two agencies after wit-
nessing the quality opportunities estab-
lished for locals who otherwise might strug-
gle to enjoy such access.
“I’m just inspired by the work they are
doing and the impact they have,” she said.
The collaboration provides an additional
benefit, as Facebook seeks to build a bridge
with its local community.
Dillard said the program is an extension
her company’s larger program designed to
offer opportunities to underrepresented com-
munities along the Peninsula. Facebook
also offers a job fair, professional develop-
ment workshops and referral programs for
locals seeking career advancement.
“This is changing young peoples’ lives
and really making an impact and launching
new careers for people who are from East
Palo Alto, Belle Haven and Redwood City,”
she said.
Year Up Executive Director Emily Schaffer
also lauded the unique platform presented by
tiful [and] that we really enjoy using. It
would just be such a shame … to see it
destroyed.”
Acknowledging the trees are a community
asset, Commissioner Amourence Lee said
she thought work to prune and remove some
of them was warranted to reduce risk.
Because Fried had noted it could take 25
years for the replacement trees to reach
maturity, Lee wondered if removing groups
of trees over several years could help park
visitors adjust to the change.
“I do feel like 25 years is a long time to
wait and so I am interested in a phasing
approach,” she said. “But I do want to know
whether that would actually reduce cost.”
Fried said extending the project timeline
could increase the cost of maintaining
replacement trees and require wildlife sur-
veys each time work is done at the site,
which could also boost costs.

the program and partnership.
“What we are most excited about is con-
necting young people to the economic
opportunity right here in the Bay Area. And
this is an incredible opportunity to do this,”
she said.
She noted there is an additional benefit
offered through enriching communities
which are altered due to the impact of local
tech companies such as Facebook. And the
companies are able to build a more diverse
workforce in the process, which could lead
to creation of a more inclusive product.
“There is no doubt this will enable compa-
nies to better understand and connect with
their user base and create a world that works
better for everyone, not just some people,”
she said, noting the program is seeking
applicants for the first class starting this
fall.

offered him the chance he needed to get a leg
up in a lucrative field.
“It’s just a real good launching pad for

regardless of whether you do it now or
whether you do it in five years,” he said.
Fried said he could explore grouping the
trees into two removal phases or scaling the
project back when the City Council reviews
the project in a study session set for the fall.
Though the city has some $520,000 dedi-
cated to tree pruning projects, there are no
funds dedicated specifically to the larger tree
removal project and city officials would need
to request funds for the project from the City
Council, said Parks and Recreation Director
Sheila Canzian. For her part, Canzian said
she also shares a love of the park and was
dismayed by the idea of seeing nearly half of
its eucalyptus trees removed, noting a
phased approach taking into account the
trees’ risk could help residents adjust to the
change.
“For me, the notion of removing all 28
trees at one time is very disheartening,” she
said.

BILLS
Continued from page 1
the two-year session,” he said. “It’s
sort of ‘do-or-die’ time for the bills.”
Mullin is hopeful a set of measures
aimed at improving transparency of
political ads appearing on social media
platforms, ensuring public facilities
are available as vote centers for all-
mail ballot elections and providing an
online database of federal, state and
local elected representatives for voters
will improve elections across the state.
Dubbed the Social Media Disclose Act,
Assembly Bill 2188 will require social
media platforms, such as Twitter and
Facebook, to include within “promot-
ed” or “sponsored” ads a link to the top
three funders of the advertisement. The
bill would also require social media
platforms to provide a public database
outlining the political ads backed by
committees as well as a “View Ads”
link on committee pages so voters can
see what ads they purchase.
With AB 2188, Mullin is hoping to
build on the Disclose Act, a bill signed
into law in 2017 requiring those
behind electronic media advertise-
ments to include a link to a website
showing the ad’s top three contribu-
tors. And he said social media plat-
forms are taking note of the need for
stronger disclosure on their ads, work-
ing with the bill’s authors to see how
their technology could be adapted to
include these features.
“California will, I think, have a
chance to set the national standards on
this,” he said. “We want to make it real-
ly abundantly clear just from scrolling
through your newsfeed who’s funding
the ad.”
Mullin also looked to Assembly Bill
2540, which seeks to ensure public
facilities are available as vote centers
during all-mail ballot elections, and
Assembly Bill 2707, which would
establish a single online database with
the contact information for federal,
state and locally-elected representa-
tives, to bolster efforts to create
opportunities for voters to become
informed and engaged in their elec-
tions.
Cybersecurity
In seeking to create an Office of
Elections Cybersecurity within the
California Secretary of State’s Office
through Assembly Bill 3075,
Assemblyman Marc Berman, D-Palo
Alto, is hoping more coordinated
efforts between federal, state and local
officials, including county registrar of
voters, will prevent cyber attacks and
other interference with the integrity of
elections across the state. Berman was
encouraged by the legislature’s
approval of an additional $2 million to
supplement the new office’s security
and outreach efforts in the 2018-19
state budget approved in June.
“That’s so critically important as the
state really plays a kind of hub role of
being the hub between counties and the
federal government on issues of elec-
tions security,” he said. “It’s really
important that we’re all employing
best practices when it comes to the
cybersecurity issues around our elec-
tions.”
Safety, housing
For state Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San
Mateo, addressing threats to resident
safety and availability of housing were
a focus this year. In response to the
challenges veterans across the state
faces in securing housing, Hill crafted
Senate Bill 1427, which would prevent
veterans from being turned away by
landlords on the basis on whether they
receive a rental assistance voucher.
Veterans are at risk of being turned
away from housing, explained Hill.
There are just under 2,200 vouchers
available in the state through the
Department of Housing and Urban
Development Veterans Affairs
Supported Housing and no clear rules
protecting veterans housing in the
California Fair Employment and
Housing Act. Though the California
Association of Realtors has opposed
the bill because it doesn’t want to
require landlords to accept the vouch-
ers, Hill said the California Apartment
Association has remained neutral on
the issue.
“I applaud the California Apartment
Association for taking the position
that they did,” he said. “It’s out of their
comfort zone but they accepted and I
believe appreciate the need and the sac-
rifices that these veterans made.”
Hill also authored a pair of bills tak-
ing aim at conditions believed to have
contributed to a deadly balcony col-
lapse at a Berkeley apartment complex
in 2015, killing six and seriously
injuring seven others. In requiring con-
struction contractors to report defect
settlements of more than $1 million to
the Contractors State License Board
within 90 days, Senate Bill 1465 is
expected to disclose to the board a con-
tractor’s previous history with defec-
A

tive projects. Ensuring regulators have
this information could empower them
to take action against companies like
the one that constructed the Berkeley
balcony, which Hill said paid $26.5
million in construction defect lawsuit
settlements in the three years before
the balcony collapsed.
Together with Senate Bill 721,
which calls for inspections of the bal-
conies and decks of multi-unit residen-
tial buildings every six years, Hill is
hoping the bills are able to catch
issues with the quality of construction
and building materials used in creating
balconies and other wood, elevated
structures well in advance of deadly
events.
“It will require those balconies and
multi-unit residential buildings to be
inspected on a regular basis to make
sure we don’t have a repeat of that
tragedy in Berkeley,” he said.
Hill is also hopeful his fifth attempt
to reduce fines for a common red-light
traffic violation, Senate Bill 1132,
will make it to the governor’s desk this
year. By introducing a proposal to
reduce the penalty for failing to make a
complete stop while turning right at a
red light, Hill is hoping those facing
penalties of more than $500 for mak-
ing a “California stop” at a right turn
will finally find relief.
Noting other, more dangerous viola-
tions carry lower fines, Hill said the
increased use of cameras at traffic lights
is ensuring more drivers are finding
themselves in a sticky predicament, one
that can be especially burdensome for
low-income residents.
“The bottom line is the fine should fit
the crime and this fine is inappropriate
for that minor violation,” he said.
Other bills
Berman was encouraged by the passage
of Assembly Bill 1808, an education
omnibus trailer bill, in June, which
secured some $1.7 million to fund suicide
prevention training for teachers and
school administrators. Mullin was also
hopeful Assembly Bill 605, which would
create a single integrated license for child
care providers, would be successful in the
coming months to accelerate the licens-
ing process for those hoping to provide
much-needed child care across the state
while still maintaining high safety stan-
dards for youth-friendly facilities.
Mullin pegged a fresh look at housing
bills and tax reform as focuses for legis-
lators as they begin to think about their
legislative efforts under a new governor.
He expected efforts to empower cities to
create affordable housing, such as restor-
ing redevelopment agencies, and take on
tax reform as a way to stabilize the state’s
revenue, to be among legislators’ priori-
ties next year.
“I’m feeling a sense of pressure to real-
ly focus our energy on the big structural
challenges that we have in the state of
California,” he said.

noTicE oF PETiTion To
ADminiSTER ESTATE oF
Ramona Vargas Sy-Quia
Case Number: 18PRO00732
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of Ramona Vargas Sy-
Quia. A Petition for Probate has been
filed by Jaime Victor Carlos Sy-Quia in
the Superior Court of California, County
of San Mateo. The Petition for Probate
requests that Jaime Victor Carlos Sy-
Quia be appointed as personal represen-
tative to administer the estate of the de-
cedent.
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: AUG. 15, 2018 at
9:00 a.m., Department 28, Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo,
400 County Center, Redwood 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
Calilfornia 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 Callifornia Probate
Code.Other 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.

In Damascus, Syrians dare to hope that war’s end may be near
By Bassem Mroue
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DAMASCUS, Syria — Crossing into
Syria from neighboring Lebanon, visitors
are greeted by giant posters of President
Bashar Assad.
The signs proclaim: “Welcome to victori-
ous Syria.”
In the capital of Damascus, many of the
checkpoints that for years have snarled traf-
fic are gone. The city is again connected to
its sprawling suburbs once held by the
opposition, and many former residents and
visitors from other parts of Syria fill its
streets.
There’s a new feeling of hope that an end
is near to Syria’s seven-year civil war.
“It is almost over,” Nazeer Habash, 60,
said as he walked home near the Hijaz train
station in central Damascus. “It is like a
child when he starts to walk, taking one
step after another, and victory will always
be on our side.”
In a central square not far from where rebel
shells used to land just a few months ago,
families and groups of teenagers took self-
ies. Children played on a large sculpture
spelling out, “I (heart) Damascus.”
The celebratory mood in government-
controlled areas stems from successive mil-
Mexican president-elect vows improvements to deter migration
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MEXICO CITY — President-elect Andres
Manuel Lopez Obrador on Sunday released
a seven-page letter he sent to U. S.
President Donald Trump detailing how he
plans to improve Mexico’s economy and
security when he takes office in December
so that Mexicans do not feel the need to
migrate.
“There will be many changes,” he prom-
ised in the letter. “And in this new atmos-
phere of progress with well-being, I’m sure

A soldier loyal to Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad’s forces is seen in Quneitra, Syria.
itary advances in the past year.
It is fed by a feeling that Assad, thanks to
unwavering support from allies Russia and
Iran, has won — or at least has defeated
those opposition fighters trying to topple
him.
The country has suffered catastrophic
damage and some aspects of the conflict are
we can reach agreements
to confront together the
migration phenomenon
as well as the problem of
border insecurity.”
Lopez Obrador also
suggested the two coun-
tries draft a development
plan backed by public
Andres Manuel funds and invite Central

join, with the aim of
making it “economically unnecessary” for

far from over. Still, many Syrians — even
some among the opposition — are hoping
for some degree of security and stability.
The government now controls major
opposition strongholds and key cities like
Aleppo, Homs and even Daraa, the southern
city where the uprising was born from
protests in March 2011.
Central Americans to migrate.
Marcelo Ebrard, who is slated to become
Mexico’s foreign minister, read the letter
aloud to reporters gathered at Lopez
Obrador’s political party headquarters.
Ebrard said Trump had received the letter.
The incoming Mexican president plans
to cut government salaries, perks and jobs.
Savings from those cuts, he says, will be
directed toward social programs and infra-
structure. He also plans to reduce taxes for
the private sector in the hopes of spurring
investment and job creation.
Monday • July 23, 2018 27
The vital border crossing with Jordan,
sealed for years, is expected to reopen soon
after troops recaptured Daraa province, and
hopes are high for the resumption of trade
and Syrian exports to Arab countries.
Syrians can now drive all the way form the
Jordanian border in the south to the central
province of Hama on one of the country’s
most important highways that was severed
by insurgents for years in several locations.
There is talk that the railway from Damascus
to Aleppo might resume operations later
this year.
The latest government triumph came this
week when rebels agreed to surrender their
last pockets of control in Quneitra province
in the southwest, opening the way for
Assad’s forces to re-establish authority
along the Israeli frontier.
“The direct threat to Damascus has ended.
And since it’s the capital, its conditions
affect all other parts of the country,” said
Rami al-Khayer, 27, as he sipped a hot bev-
erage with a friend at the famous Nofara cafe
in the capital’s old quarter.
The scene in devastated areas once con-
trolled by rebels outside Damascus is stark-
ly different. But even amid the ruins there,
life is slowly returning to normal, with
more businesses reopening and people
trickling back.
Lopez Obrador said Sunday that some of
his future collaborators in government
posts have offered to work for free during
his six-year term. Several of his proposed
Cabinet members are independently
wealthy.
“It’s an enormous privilege to partici-
pate in a process of transformation.
There’s no price on this,” the president-
elect said.
He said he will publish salaries of gov-
ernment employees, from high-ranking
ministers to police officers.
