Three years prison for drug convictions
Boyfriend of woman shot dead pleaded no contest
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The boyfriend of a woman found in
February of 2018 with a gunshot wound to
the head in Half Moon Bay was sentenced to
three years in state prison Friday months
after he pleaded no contest to possession of
cocaine and other drugs for sale in
December, according to the San Mateo
County District Attorney’s Office.
Tristan Cecil, 22, had been transferred to
San Quentin State Prison for a 90-day diag-
nostic study after he pleaded to two sets of
drug charges Dec. 10. Cecil was found with
1,450 separately-packaged Xanax pills, 33
grams of cocaine and 33 grams of ethyl-
pentylone packaged into 29 baggies in July
while he was out of custody on another set
of drug charges related to a February of 2018
search of his home, according to prosecu-
tors.
Believed to have reported the Feb. 22,
2018, shooting of his 18-year-old girl-
friend, Kimberly Quiroz, Cecil was found in

prosecutors.
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said
previously judges may opt to send defen-

they are weighing whether to sentence them
to state prison or keep them on probation.
Judge Stephanie Garratt denied Cecil proba-

Authorities say a veteran deliberately drove into a group of pedestrians because he thought some of the people were Muslim.
Police: Vet drove into people
thinking they were Muslim
By Janie Har
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — An Iraq War
veteran deliberately drove into a group
of pedestrians because he thought
some of the people were Muslim,
California authorities said Friday.
Isaiah Joel Peoples, 34, faces eight
counts of attempted murder for injur-
ing eight people, including four who
remain hospitalized. The most seri-
ously injured is a 13-year-old
Sunnyvale girl of South Asian descent
who is in a coma with severe brain
trauma.
“New evidence shows that the defen-
dant intentionally targeted the victims
based on their race and his belief that
they were of the Muslim faith, ”
Sunnyvale police chief Phan Ngo said.
Peoples appeared briefly in Santa
Clara County Superior Court on Friday.
He did not enter a plea and is being
held without bail.
The former U.S. Army sharpshooter
experienced post-traumatic stress dis-
order after serving in Iraq, his family
said. Peoples’ attorney, Chuck Smith,
LOCAL/STATE
said Friday that the
crash was in no way
deliberate.
Smith said after
the hearing that
they do not dispute
what happened, but
that his client’s
mental state is the
Isaiah Peoples issue.
“He served our
country, honorably and admirably, and
he’s led an otherwise blameless life,”
Smith said, “So there’s no explanation
for this other than his service, the
things he saw and what happened to
him mentally while serving our coun-
try.”
Peoples was on his way to a Bible
class Tuesday in the Silicon Valley
suburb of Sunnyvale when he told
investigators he intentionally drove
into a group of men, women and chil-
dren, police said. The 13-year-old girl
was hit along with her father and
brother, who had minor injuries.
Jay Boyarsky, chief assistant dis-
trict attorney for Santa Clara, said the
charges carry a sentence of life in
prison. He said they will file hate
crime allegations if warranted.
“There is very appalling and disturb-
ing evidence that at least one or two of
these victims were targeted based on
the defendant’s view of what their race
or religion may have been,” he said.
Three adults also remain hospital-
ized with injuries that include broken
limbs.
Peoples showed no remorse after his
car plowed at high speed into a group
of people in a crosswalk before hitting
a tree, Ngo said.
Witness Don Draper said he marched
over to Peoples’ car after he crashed,
and he found the driver muttering over
and over, “Thank you, Jesus. Thank
you, Jesus.”
But Ngo said that “he did not behave
in any manner that would be consid-
ered bizarre,” when taken into custody.
Family and friends described Peoples
as quiet and polite and expressed shock
at his involvement. His mother,
Leevell Peoples of Sacramento, said
her son had “a bad episode” with PTSD
in 2015, for which he was hospital-
ized.

California’s program
aims to help inmates,
brings more escapes
By Don Thompson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — California’s attempt to ease inmates
back into the community is coming at a price: more prison-
ers, some with violent convictions, walking away before
their time is up.
Fifty of the state’s more than 126,000 prisoners abscond-
ed last year, almost half of them from a program that allows
male inmates to serve the final year of their sentences in
community centers to get help with substance abuse, men-
tal and other health issues, jobs, education, housing, fami-
ly reunification and social support.
While most were quickly recaptured, that’s nearly double
the number from 2014, the year before the “re-entry” initia-
tive started.
Also, while the program excludes known gang members,
sex offenders and those deemed at high risk of committing
violence, others with violent histories are allowed.
An Associated Press review of the Corrections
Department-run program, which has about 600 inmates,
found some of last year’s 24 walkaways were serving time
for weapons offenses, including an armed attempted car-
jacking and injuring a spouse. Convictions for others
included robberies, false imprisonment with violence and
extortion using force or threat.
The upswing in walkaways has victims’ advocates con-
cerned and corrections officials trying to identify factors
that may be prompting inmates to leave mere months
before they are set to be paroled.
“Oh my gosh, that’s a lot,” Crime Victims Action
Alliance executive director Christine Ward said of the over-
all number.
More than 1,000 quarantined in
measles scare at LA universities
By John Rogers
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — More than 1,000 students and staff
members at two Los Angeles universities were quarantined
on campus or sent home this week in one of the most
sweeping efforts yet by public health authorities to contain
the spread of measles in the U.S., where cases have reached
a 25-year high .
By Friday afternoon, two days after Los Angeles County
ordered the precautions, about 325 of those affected had
been cleared to return after proving their immunity to the
disease, through either medical records or tests, health offi-
cials said.
The action at the University of University of California,
Los Angeles, and California State University, Los Angeles
— which together have more than 65,000 students —
reflected the seriousness with which public health officials
are taking the nation’s outbreak.

At least six more Local briefs

months for Skyline sinkhole
Only one lane of Skyline Boulevard has
been open to traffic since March because of
a sinkhole and the entire road may not be
repaired until 2020, a Caltrans official said.
The plan is to construct a retaining wall at
the site of the sinkhole, which Caltrans
spokesman Jeff Weiss described as a “per-
manent solution. ” The design phase is
expected to wrap up by June and then the
project will be put out to bid, he said.
Considering the difficulties of working at
the wooded, sloping site, Weiss said con-
struction could take six months or longer.
“We hope this isn’t the case, but we want
to prepare people that it has been the case
with similar projects,” he said. “But it
could be done by fall if everything goes
well.”
The retaining wall requires custom parts
— another reason why it takes to long to
construct, Weiss said.  A formal search occurred with members from the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office Marine
The road had closed for more than a month
after a sinkhole developed early February
following heavy rains. Since late March,
one lane has been open with traffic control,
which will remain in place until the road is
completely repaired.
Man behind assault over parking

A 25-year-old Redwood City man who

Eileen King Murray Behling
December 4, 1924 - April 19, 2019
The eldest of three children born to Edmund and Catherine
King, Eileen lived a full life filled with family and a strong
faith. She grew up in San Mateo and as a young woman was
an accomplished equestrian. She graduated from Dominican
University with a degree in Economics. She, with her
husband, Joseph Murray (Millbrae Murray Hardware), raised
five children in Millbrae and Burlingame. After the youngest
went off to school, she got her teaching credential and spent
25 years teaching in the Millbrae school district. Eileen traveled extensively, was an
avid reader and bridge player. She swam with dolphins and parasailed in her 80’s. She
enjoyed knitting and needlepoint and the grandchildren have blankets and Christmas
stockings to cherish. She volunteered with the Assistance League and was active in
her parish. She gathered her family every year for Christmas dinner and reunions at
Lake Tahoe every summer.
Eileen lived as a widow for 10 years and then met Dr. Ralph Behling. They
married and spent 16 wonderful years together. She was loved by his 5 children and
their spouses. Eileen is survived by her children, Mark (Joan) of Seattle, Michaela,
Joan Ruth (Fred), Martha of Bend, and Maryanne, along with 13 grandchildren, 7
great-grandchildren and another on the way. She is also survived by her brother,
Edmund Thomas (Tom) King, II. Joan King O.P. of San Rafael, and several nieces
and nephews.

Obituary
Philip John Fox
March 10, 1941 – April 13, 2019
Philip John Fox passed away on April 13th at the age of
78. Born in Easton, PA, to John and Marjorie Fox, he was a
9th generation Pennsylvanian. He studied Civil Engineering
at Lafayette College and continued his education at Harvard
Business School. Phil came to San Francisco on a consulting
assignment in ‘67, fell in love with the city, and never left.
Phil’s career spanned 43 years including consulting, small
business, and investment management--always with an entrepreneurial flair for
new ideas and products. After he retired, he continued to be captivated by financial
markets, even talking about his favorite stock picks in his final days. Outside of work,
he delighted in the pursuits of his children, was an avid reader and even penned a
few books himself, became an accomplished golfer as a nearly 50-year member of
the Olympic Club, enjoyed sunny days at the Ann Curtis Swim Club and on trips
to Hawaii with his family, captured a number of Bridge master points, and took up
ballroom dancing in his later years. He will be sorely missed.
Phil’s four children brought him great joy. He is survived by daughters Alison
Mazzola (Simon), Kari Sontag (Michael), and Alexandra Fox, and son Kevin Fox.
He leaves grandchildren Michael, Lily, and Henry. Phil encouraged his children to
strive for academic and professional success, but not take life too seriously. They
remember fondly his “dad-isms,” such as, “have a positive attitude and a sense of
humor.” His final wish was that his children would all love and care for each other.
Phil is also survived by his sister Susan Bedell, his brother Douglas Fox (Rhonnie),
and the mothers of his children, Anadel Fox and Maureen Fox.
A reception to celebrate his life is scheduled for May 5, 2019 at the clubhouse of
the Presidio Golf & Concordia Club at 3 PM. In lieu of flowers, the family requests
that donations be made to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research.

Trump tells NRA he’s withdrawing from arms trade treaty
By Jill Colvin and Lisa Marie Pane
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
INDIANAPOLIS — In a largely symbolic
gesture to a group that helped him win the
White House, President Donald Trump said
Friday he is pulling the U.S. back from an
international agreement on the arms trade,
telling the National Rifle Association the
treaty is “badly misguided.”
Trump made the announcement at the NRA’s
annual convention, where he vowed to fight
for gun rights and implored members of the
nation’s largest pro-gun group — struggling
to maintain its influence — to rally behind
his re-election bid.
“It’s under assault,” he said of the constitu-
tional right to bear arms. “But not while we’re
here.”
With pro-gun legislation largely stalled in
Congress and few deliverables during Trump’s
term so far, the president told the group that
he would be revoking the United States’ status
as a signatory of the U.N. Arms Trade Treaty,
which regulates the multibillion-dollar glob-
al arms trade in conventional weapons, from
small arms to battle tanks, combat aircraft
and warships.
President Barack Obama signed the pact,
which has long been opposed by the NRA, in
2013. But it has never been ratified by U.S.
lawmakers.
“Under my administration, we will never
surrender American sovereignty to anyone,”
Trump said, before signing a document on
stage directing the Senate to halt the ratifica-
tion process. “We will never allow foreign
diplomats to trample on your Second
Trump confident US-Japan trade deal can be reached ‘quickly’

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump
expressed confidence Friday that a bilateral
trade deal between the U.S. and Japan can be
reached quickly despite ongoing differences
over tariffs as he opened talks with Prime
Minister Shinzo Abe at the White House.
Abe is the rare world leader who has man-
aged to develop a personal relationship
with Trump. They get along so well that Abe
and his wife, Akie, joined Trump and his
wife, Melania, for a couples’ dinner Friday
in the White House residence to celebrate
the U.S. first lady’s 49th birthday. The lead-
ers planned to meet for a quick round of golf
Saturday.
But all the friendliness they put on dis-

“I hope you’re happy,” he told the group,

products while Abe aired his frustrations
with U.S. levies on Japanese automobiles.
Trump has slapped tariffs on steel and alu-
minum imports from Japan and has held the
threat of even steeper auto tariffs over Abe’s
head.
Still, Trump sounded optimistic that an
agreement will be struck.
“Ultimately, we have a chance to make a
good and very long-term trade deal with
Japan,” the president said.
Asked later about the timetable, Trump
said: “I think it can go quickly. I think it can
go fairly quickly. Maybe by the time I’m
over there, maybe we sign it over there. But
it’s moving along very nicely and we’ll see

the latest in a series of withdrawals from
international pacts and organizations joined
by previous administrations, like the Paris
climate accord and the Iran nuclear deal.

when it was under negotiation as an infringe-
ment of civilian firearm ownership, despite
the well-enshrined legal principle that says
Trump plans to travel to Japan in late May
with the first lady for a state visit to meet
the country’s new emperor.
In their talks Friday, the two leaders were
also expected to discuss North Korea’s
nuclear program and efforts by the U.S. and
other nations to achieve a denuclearized
Korean Peninsula. Trump and Abe met on
the heels of Thursday’s nuclear talks
between North Korean leader Kim Jong Un
and President Vladimir Putin of Russia.
Trump’s second summit with Kim in Hanoi
in February ended with no agreement, but

no treaty can override the Constitution or
U.S. laws. The treaty is aimed at cracking
down on illicit trading in small arms, thereby
curbing violence in some of the most trou-
bled corners of the world.
It was the first legally binding treaty to reg-
ulate the international trade in conventional
arms and was overwhelmingly approved by
the 193-member U.N. General Assembly in
April 2013. It has been ratified by 101 coun-
tries — but key arms exporters including
Russia and China and major importers such as
India and Egypt have given no indication that
they will sign it.
Advocates of tighter gun restrictions and
those who had helped negotiate the treaty
denounced Trump’s decision Friday.
Kris Brown, president of the Brady organi-
zation, said will “only embolden terrorists
and other dangerous actors around the world.”
And Rachel Stohl, managing director of the
Stimson Center and a consultant to the treaty
negotiations, said: “By turning its back on
multilateral diplomacy yet again, the United
States is disregarding global norms and
allowing nefarious actors to trade weapons
with impunity.”
Yet Trump’s showy rejection of the agree-
ment from the stage has limited effect because
it has been unlikely all along that he would
send the treaty to the Senate for ratification.
At the United Nations, spokesman
Stephane Dujarric called the treaty “a land-
mark achievement in the efforts to ensure
responsibility in international arms trans-
fers” and particularly important at a time of
renewed interest in expanding weapons arse-
nals.
Trump said earlier Friday that progress is
being made.
“I have a great relationship with Kim
Jong Un,” Trump told reporters. He said he
appreciated help on the issue from Russia
and China.
Kim had harsher words for Trump. North
Korea’s state-run Korean Central News
Agency said Friday that Kim strongly criti-
cized Washington for taking a “unilateral
attitude in bad faith” that caused the diplo-
matic standstill following the Hanoi meet-
ing.

Kim Jong Un leaves Russia after summit with Putin

By Iulia Stashevska and Eric Talmadge
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
VLADIVOSTOK, Russia — North Korean
leader Kim Jong Un boarded his private
train Friday and headed back to Pyongyang
after directing some harsh criticism at
Washington during his first summit with
Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying
the U.S. negotiated in “bad faith” when he
met with President Donald Trump in Hanoi
two months ago.
Kim left about 4 1/2 hours earlier than
planned, Russian news agencies reported.
It was not immediately known why he
decided to return from Vladivostok early.
Putin, who indicated he may be interested in
playing a bigger role in breaking North
Korea’s standoff with Washington, had
already left for a two-day meeting in
Beijing.
The Kremlin intends to brief the U.S. on
the contents of the summit as soon as the
Russian delegation returns to Moscow,
Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov
told the RIA Novosti news agency. Putin
said he will also brief Chinese leaders on
his talks with Kim.
Before leaving Vladivostok, Kim visited
a park near the headquarters of the Russian
navy’s Pacific Fleet for a wreath-laying cer-
emony that was held two hours later than
expected. Kim also had lunch with the local
governor and businesspeople on the out-
skirts of town before going to the main rail-
way station.
Following their talks on Thursday, Putin
said Kim is willing to give up nuclear

weapons, but only if he gets ironclad securi-
ty guarantees supported by a multinational
agreement.
Kim strongly criticized Washington for
taking a “unilateral attitude in bad faith” at
his February meeting with Trump in Hanoi
said that caused the diplomatic standstill,
North Korea’s state-run Korean Central
News Agency said Friday.
He also told Putin the situation on the
Korean Peninsula has reached a “critical
point” and whether tensions resume will
REUTERS
“entirely depend on the U.S. future attitude.”
The agency said Putin credited Kim’s
diplomatic initiatives for stabilizing the
situation surrounding the peninsula and
accepted Kim’s invitation to visit North
Korea at a “convenient time.”
No specific measures from the summit
have been reported by either side and the
leaders’ comments suggest there has been
no significant shift in Kim’s basic posi-
tion.
North Korea has all along contended that
it needs its nuclear arsenal to defend itself
against what it sees as U.S. hostility and
wants concrete reassurances of its safety —
including the removal of the American
nuclear threat as an integral part of the denu-
clearization of the entire Korean Peninsula.
Trump has voiced hope that Putin’s
involvement could help his efforts to get
Kim to abandon his nuclear arsenal. But it
could also complicate matters, since
Moscow has been critical of sanctions on
North Korea and has called on Washington
to provide more security guarantees. After
Thursday’s talks, Putin suggested the
revival of a multilateral approach to the
denuclearization negotiations. A similar
approach, which Russia participated in,
broke down in 2009.
Along with a statement of political sup-
port, Kim was also looking for some kind
of economic support and possibly even a
workaround for sanctions that will require
more than 10,000 North Korean laborers in
Russia to leave by the end of the year. The
laborers are a major source of income for
North Korea.
Putin said they discussed the issue and
would find a solution taking into account
“humanitarian” factors, though he didn’t
say what that would be.
Motorists in the Russian port city
breathed a sigh of relief at Kim’s departure.
Traffic in the city of half a million had been
severely disrupted since Kim’s arrival on
Tuesday.
Just like two days earlier, traffic was com-
pletely blocked in the city center during the
send-off ceremony for Kim.

New study says universe expanding faster and is younger

By Seth Borenstein
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The universe is
expanding faster than it used to, meaning
it’s about a billion years younger than we
thought, a new study by a Nobel Prize win-
ner says. And that’s sending a shudder
through the world of physics, making
astronomers re-think some of its most
basic concepts.
At issue is a number called the Hubble
constant, a calculation for how fast the uni-
verse is expanding. Some scientists call it
the most important number in cosmology,
the study of the origin and development of
the universe.
Using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope,
Johns Hopkins University astronomer
Adam Riess concluded in this week’s
Astrophysical Journal that the figure is 9%
higher than the previous calculation, which
was based on studying leftovers from the
Big Bang.
The trouble is, Riess and others think
both calculations are correct.
Confused? That’s OK, so are the experts.
They find the conflict so confounding
that they are talking about coming up with
“new physics, ” incorporating perhaps
some yet-to-be-discovered particle or other
cosmic “fudge factors” like dark energy or
dark matter.
“It’s looking more and more like we’re
going to need something new to explain
this,” said Riess, who won the 2011 Nobel
in physics.
NASA astrophysicist John Mather,
another Nobel winner, said this leaves two
obvious options: “1. We’re making mis-
takes we can’t find yet. 2. Nature has some-
thing we can’t find yet.”
Even with the discovery, life continues
on Earth the way it always has. But to astro-
physicists trying to get a handle on our
place in this expanding universe, this is a
cosmic concern.
To come up with his measurement of the
Hubble constant, Riess looked to some
not-so-distant stars.
Riess observed 70 Cepheid stars — stars
that pulse at a well-observed rate — calcu-
lated their distance and rate, and then com-
pared them with a certain type of super-
novae that are used as measuring sticks. It
took about two years for the Hubble tele-
scope to make these measurements, but
eventually Riess calculated an expansion
rate of 74.
Using that 74 figure means the universe
is somewhere between 12.5 billion and 13
billion years old. That’s much younger than
the established estimates of 13.6 billion to
13.8 billion.
“Hey, it’s good news. Everybody likes to
look younger,” Riess said.
In 2013, the European Planck satellite
helped scientists come up with a much
slower expansion rate of about 67, but that
was done in an entirely different, more
complicated and less direct way and by
looking at a much earlier time, when the
universe was just a toddler.
The Planck team studied background radi-
ation from a time just 370,000 years after
the Big Bang.

What I’ve learned from journalism
By Brooke Hanshaw
A
pproaching the end of my
high school years, with
graduation around the corner,
I feel looking back on my career and
what I’ve gained from my experiences
thus far is in order. One of the primary
abilities journalism gifted me was the
freedom to share my opinions and
ideas with others, and I truly hope
this article inspires as well as gives
an inside look at being a journalist.
I applied to be a sports writer for
my school paper halfway through my
sophomore year; honestly, without
hesitation or thought. My strengths
in reading and writing always seem to
excel past my efforts in other subject
areas, and my combined effort and
passion in my new position yielded
strong first articles. Going to sports
games, interviewing my peers and
writing about topics that inspired me
all came with my first year of sports
writing.
Despite my strengths in English
class, I quickly learned that journal-
ism writing was something entirely
different. Each writer, no matter the
department or publication, has their
own style. I continue to develop and
critique my own writing styles today,
as they shift through my journalism
experiences.
After writing for the sports depart-
Letters to the editor
Democrats’ socialism
Editor,
I have lived in Europe and Australia,
and in both places, I have experi-
enced the ravages of socialism. In
Australia, the only achievement many
liberal MPs had to their name was a
new tax. In Europe, those Yellow
Vests are fed up with paying taxes and
fees for social benefits, free educa-
tion, free health care and green initia-
tives to the point where there is not
much left to actually live on.
Bernie Sanders’ much vaunted
European socialism is there for all to
see for what it really is, namely a way
to spread the misery around until it
saps a whole society. The jobs and
wealth creators have the right to have
their own ideas, and in many cases,
they just walk away from an unaccept-
able social contract in the way
Amazon walked away from New York.
Others immunize themselves
against socialism by embracing its
mechanisms of extracting maximum
social benefits; just go to the San
Mateo County courthouse and look up
the registry of divorce cases. You will

ment throughout
my junior year, I
decided to apply
for the positions
of sports editor and
business manager.
I truly believe
being a member of
Aragon’s editorial
team this past year
played a crucial role in forming my
writing style. It also helped me chal-
lenge my own ideals as well as learn
to challenge and push those around
me. Brainstorming editorial topics,
covering #AragonToo — our localized
coverage on the #MeToo movement
and sexual harassment at Aragon —
and writing about everything from
volleyball to hate speech all con-
tribute to who I am as a journalist.
When interviewing for the position
of an Aragon editor last year, I was
asked: “What do you believe to be the
role of journalists today?” At the
time, I answered that it was simple:
Tell the truth. If there’s anything I’ve
learned in this past year, it’s that
there is so much more to journalism
than just the truth.
We have the responsibility to
always tell the truth, and yet I believe
there can be multiple truths, multiple
sides to every story and always multi-
ple perspectives. It’s important that
journalists bring the stories, experi-
ences and opinions of others to light
discover that a certain dominant eth-
nic minority whose Catholic faith
would forbid divorce is actually
divorcing in disproportional, highly
abnormal percentages for the purpose
of milking the benefits dedicated to
single mothers and fathers. Working
for cash under the table and fake
divorces are a common strategy
embraced by many in order to milk
socialism. Between the wealth cre-
ators walking away and the common
profiteers plying their tricks all fiscal
balance goes to heck and the country
with it.

President Trump’s election:
1). Unemployment for both
African-American and Hispanic citi-

America, giving them a sense of
accomplishment and hope for the

down.

which Obama promised but failed to
accomplish.

In need indeed
F
or the last several months, as I’ve walked around
Redwood City, I’ve become increasingly aware of
homeless encampments.
There are a couple of places where I always assume I’ll
encounter one, such as beneath Highway 101 alongside
Redwood Creek. Some time ago, however, someone erected
their makeshift home right out front at an empty automobile
dealership on El Camino Real. I discovered another over on
Inner Bair Island, on the north side of the Highway 101
overpass at Whipple Avenue. That setup was especially
impressive, not only sporting a good-sized structure made
from multiple brightly colored tarps, but also a gas barbecue
complete with propane tank.
Finally, while photographing
the under-construction town-
house project at the corner of
Hopkins Avenue and El Camino
Real, I stumbled across a
makeshift shelter at the end of
Hopkins Avenue where it meets
the Caltrain tracks. This shelter

Whether encampments like
these exist because the Peninsula is attracting more home-
less, or because people are simply becoming more brazen
and are relocating to more visible sites, or because I’ve sim-
ply started noticing them more, I cannot say. But notice
them I have, and it has me thinking about what we can do
for the homeless among us, and, equally importantly, for
those who have more conventional housing but are other-
wise just managing to hang on.
Although some of those living in makeshift shelters may
be doing so by choice, clearly there are a large number who
are victims of circumstance. Fortunately, we have some ter-
rific organizations in our area who help those who will
accept it. LifeMoves, for instance, is a nonprofit that feeds,
clothes and houses about 750 clients per night — about half
of whom are children. LifeMoves works to transition their
clients into stable housing, and helps them to achieve long-
term self-sufficiency. As it happens, I walked by their
Redwood City facility — a former motel — the other day,
and was pleased to note that it seemed clean and well cared
for.
LifeMoves does great work, but it doesn’t just happen by
magic. Although they do have a number of paid staffers,
they rely upon the help of some 10,000 volunteers and a
multi-million-dollar annual budget. Organizations such as
LifeMoves cannot operate without substantial donations
and volunteer time.
I am someone who is fortunate in not having to worry
about where my next meal is coming from. My wife and I
don’t take that for granted, however, and thus we try to do
our part. For instance, we give both time and money to our
local chapter of Meals on Wheels. Managed by Peninsula
Volunteers, Inc., a Menlo Park-based organization that pro-
vides a variety of services that support aging adults in our
area, our Meals on Wheels chapter delivers meals to clients
from Menlo Park to Daly City.
For the last five years, my wife and I have delivered meals
throughout Redwood City, Redwood Shores and San Carlos.
Thanks to Meals on Wheels, we’ve had the privilege of
meeting a number of people who might otherwise have
gone hungry were it not for the healthy meals we brought.
For the most part, they are delightful, regular people who
are just experiencing difficult times due to age-related infir-
mity, illness or financial setbacks. Simply by giving a cou-
ple of hours each week, we gain the satisfaction of knowing
that we are making a small, but real, difference.
There are of course any number of organizations out there
serving the homeless and the disadvantaged among us, any
of which would undoubtedly welcome additional donations
and volunteers. In the past, my wife and I (and, on occasion,
our children) helped out at Second Harvest Food Bank, sort-
ing donated food. Or, for years we volunteered on work
crews with Rebuilding Together Peninsula, a nonprofit that
helps people remain in their homes by doing badly needed
home repairs and cleanup projects. For various reasons, we
aren’t currently hands-on with either organization, but we
haven’t stopped believing in — and financially supporting
— both of them.
I hear a lot of people talking about the problems that the
Bay Area is facing, but very few talking about how they are
helping out. In a healthy community, people help one
another. Given all of the problems facing humanity right
now, it’s time to pitch in. Don’t let the number of issues
overwhelm you. Instead, find an organization or two whose
missions resonate with you, then do what you can to help
out. Individually our efforts may be small, but collectively
we can make a real and lasting difference. Let us make the
Bay Area a wonderful place for everyone, not just for we
lucky few.

Stocks close up as S&P, Nasdaq hit new highs

By Alex Veiga
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Wall Street capped a week of milestones
by delivering a couple more Friday.
A late-afternoon burst of buying lifted the
major U.S. stock indexes, which had spent
much of the day in a sideways drift. The
gains nudged the benchmark S&P 500 index
and Nasdaq composite to new closing highs
for the second time this week. Both indexes
also set record highs on Tuesday.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average eked
out a gain, but ended the week slightly
lower.
The market’s latest milestones came as
investors weighed a mixed bag of corporate
earnings. Solid quarterly reports from Ford
and Amazon helped lift the market. Weaker
showings from Intel and Exxon Mobil cut
into the Dow’s gains.
Smaller company stocks fared better than
the rest of the market, a bullish sign indi-
cating that investors were more willing to
take on risk.
While company earnings were mixed,
investors drew encouragement from a gov-
ernment report estimating that the U.S.
economy grew at a solid 3.2% annual rate in
the first three months of the year — a much
bigger increase than expected.
“The first quarter number is typically the
weakest of the year, so the fact that this
number was so strong is a positive sign
going forward,” said Cliff Hodge, director of
investments for Cornerstone Wealth.
The S&P 500 rose 13.71 points, or 0.5%,
to 2,939.88. The broad index is now up
17. 3% this year. The Dow rose 81. 25
points, or 0.3%, to 26,543.33. The Nasdaq
composite recovered from an early slide,
adding 27.72 points, or 0.3%, to 8,146.40.
The Russell 2000 index of smaller compa-
ny stocks climbed 16.20 points, or 1%, to
1,591.82.

Amazon to bring one-day delivery to Prime members
By Joseph Pisani
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Two-day delivery is going
out of style.
Amazon, which hooked shoppers on get-
ting just about anything shipped in two
days, said this week that it will soon prom-
ise one-day delivery for its U.S. Prime
members on most items.
The company hopes that cutting delivery
times in half will make its $119-a-year
Prime membership more attractive, since
nearly every other online store offers free
deliveries in two days. Amazon also can’t
compete with Walmart and Target, where
ordering online and picking up at a store is
becoming more popular with shoppers.
“It is a smart change, but it is also one
that is becoming increasingly necessary,”
said Neil Saunders, managing director at
GlobalData Retail. “Other retailers have
REUTERS really upped their game in terms of deliv-

Still, Saunders said the shift is likely to
put even more pressure on Amazon’s retail
rivals, as shoppers become accustomed to
even faster shipping times. Shares of
Walmart and Target fell Friday, a day after
Amazon’s announcement.
Walmart and Target offer free two-day
shipping for those who spend over $35 on
their website. And both companies have
been turning their physical stores into
shipping hubs, speeding up deliveries and
helping to defray costs.
Walmart Inc. declined to comment
Friday. Target Corp. said its shoppers
already have ways to receive purchases
“within hours.”
Amazon didn’t say when the change to
its U.S. Prime membership will happen,
but it said Thursday that it in the past
month it has been increasing its selection
of items eligible for one-day deliveries.
In some other countries, such as the
U.K., Prime members are already offered
one-day shipping.

Uber looks to raise up to $9B in initial public offering

By Cathy Bussewitz aiming to raise $9 billion in its mammoth
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS initial public stock offering that, while
smaller than initially expected, still dwarfs
NEW YORK — Ride-hailing giant Uber is most stock market debuts.
The San Francisco-based company expects
to be valued at $80.5 billion to $91.5 bil-
lion, falling well below prior estimates that
rose as high as $120 billion, in a sign that
investors may be taking a more cautious
approach to ride-hailing after the stock per-
formance of Uber’s rival, Lyft.
Even so, Uber is on track for one of the
largest IPOs in history. The company plans
to sell 180 million shares for between $44
and $50 each.
Lyft went public last month and its stock
price fell 21% from its initial offering price
of $72, and was selling for about $57 on
Friday.
“With Lyft’s IPO being down more than
20% in a market that’s hitting new highs
every day, that’s a dynamic that probably has
been factored in as well,” said Daniel Ives,
managing director of equity research at
Wedbush Securities.
Uber is part of a wave of technology com-
panies that are going public, and Pinterest
and Zoom both saw their stock prices climb
substantially after their IPOs this month.
Slack and Postmates are also waiting for their
turn.
Over the coming weeks Uber is likely to
revise those figures as it launches its so-
called road show, where it pitches the compa-
ny and gets feedback from potential
investors. It is expected to begin trading on
the New York Stock Exchange next month.
Uber also disclosed that PayPal plans to
buy $500 million in stock at the IPO price,
and that the companies will explore future
commercial payment collaborations, includ-
ing the development of Uber’s digital wallet.

Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk exits after attending for an S.E.C. hearing at the Manhattan Federal Courthouse in New York.
Elon Musk and SEC settle
dispute over CEO’s tweets
By Marcy Gordon
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Elon Musk and
U.S. securities regulators have settled
their dispute over the Tesla CEO’s
tweets, with Musk agreeing to having
his future communications regarding
the electric-car maker pre-approved by
a company-employed expert.
The Securities and Exchange
Commission and Musk reached the
agreement, which they detailed in fil-
ings Friday in federal court in
Manhattan. The agreement must be
approved by U. S. District Judge
Alison Nathan, who has presided over
the case.
The deal means Musk would no
longer face the threat of being held
in contempt as the SEC has demand-
ed. The agency had alleged that Musk
violated a previous settlement requir-
ing his tweets to be approved by a
lawyer if they disclose important
company facts.
The SEC said Musk violated the deal
with a Feb. 19 tweet about Tesla vehi-
cle production that wasn’t approved by
the company’s “disclosure counsel.”
The agency contended that Musk had-
n’t sought the lawyer’s approval for a
single tweet.
Musk’s attorneys contended his
tweet that Tesla would produce about
500,000 vehicles this year didn’t need
approval because it wasn’t new infor-
mation that would be meaningful to
investors. They said the SEC was vio-
lating Musk’s First Amendment rights
to free speech.
The new agreement requires Musk to
get approval in advance from “an
experienced securities lawyer”
employed by Tesla, which is based in
Palo Alto, California, before he issues
any written communication on a wide
range of financial topics.
It is more specific and detailed than
the previous accord regarding the
affected topics. Those range from

Tesla’s financial condition and results
through potential mergers, sales num-
bers, new business lines and changes
in control or top executive positions.
Word of the agreement came one day
after Musk and the SEC attorneys told
Nathan they were still trying to work
out an agreement and needed an exten-
sion of their deadline, to Tuesday.
The original case goes back to a set-
tlement reached last September after
Musk tweeted that he had secured the
funding to take Tesla private at $420 a
share — a substantial premium over
the company’s stock price at the time
— when he did not. That tweet, last
August, sent Tesla’s stock on a wild
ride. The SEC maintains it hurt
investors who bought the stock after
the tweet but before they had accurate
information.
Musk later backed off the idea of tak-
ing the company private, but the regu-
lators concluded he had not lined up the
money to pull of the deal.

Business briefs
Work messaging app Slack takes next step for IPO
NEW YORK — Work messaging platform Slack is taking
the next step in filing to go public, the latest in several
highly anticipated tech IPOs.
In documents posted with the Securities and Exchange
Commission Friday, Slack Technologies Inc. says it posted
a loss of $138.9 million on revenue of $400 million in the
fiscal year ended Jan. 31, 2019.
In February Slack filed a draft registration statement with
the SEC. Slack is pursuing a direct listing rather than a reg-
ular initial public offering. In a direct listing, a company
doesn’t hire underwriters or sell new shares, just existing
shares. It plans to list on the New York Stock Exchange
under the ticker “SK.”
Slack’s IPO comes after Pinterest, Lyft and Zoom went
public. Uber and Postmates are due up next.
Chevron reported first quarter profit of $2.65B
SAN RAMON — Chevron Corp. on Friday reported first
quarter profit of $2.65 billion.
On a per-share basis, the San Ramon-based company said
it had profit of $1.39.
The results surpassed Wall Street expectations, but
Chevron does not adjust its reported results based on one-
time events such as asset sales. The average estimate of
seven analysts surveyed by Zacks Investment Research was
for earnings of $1.26 per share.
The oil company posted revenue of $35.2 billion in the
period, which fell short of Street forecasts. Three analysts
surveyed by Zacks expected $37.89 billion.
Chevron shares have risen slightly more than 8% since
the beginning of the year, while the Standard & Poor’s 500
index has climbed 17%. The stock has decreased roughly 4%
in the last 12 months.
Franklin Resources reported
fiscal second-quarter profit of $367.5M
SAN MATEO — Franklin Resources Inc. on Friday report-
ed fiscal second-quarter profit of $367.5 million.
On a per-share basis, the San Mateo-based company said it
had profit of 72 cents.
The results beat Wall Street expectations. The average
estimate of six analysts surveyed by Zacks Investment
Research was for earnings of 64 cents per share.
The investment manager posted revenue of $1.43 billion
in the period, also surpassing Street forecasts. Three ana-
lysts surveyed by Zacks expected $1.41 billion.
Franklin Resources shares have increased 20 percent since
the beginning of the year, while the Standard & Poor’s 500
index has increased 17 percent. The stock has increased
roughly 6 percent in the last 12 months.
Granite Construction
reported a loss of $34.6M in 1Q
WATSONVILLE — Granite Construction Inc. on Friday
reported a loss of $34.6 million in its first quarter.
On a per-share basis, the Watsonville-based company said
it had a loss of 74 cents. Losses, adjusted for non-recurring
costs, were 57 cents per share.
The contractor and construction materials producer posted
revenue of $619.8 million in the period.
Granite Construction shares have risen roughly 8 percent
since the beginning of the year. The stock has decreased 20
percent in the last 12 months.

ECONOMY
Continued from page 1
In Friday’s report, the government said
the economy grew at a 3.2% annual rate in
the first quarter. That’s much better than the
1% or below rate that was forecast in the
early weeks of 2019.
Though the economy is widely expected
to slow in the current quarter to a roughly
2% rate or less, such a pace would still pro-
duce annual growth for the first half of the
year of roughly 2.5%. That would be a solid
gain. And it would be in line with the mod-
est but steady growth that has prevailed for
most of the expansion.
It’s also a far brighter scenario than the
one envisioned late last year and early this
year. A 35-day partial shutdown of the gov-
ernment remained in effect through most of
January. Global growth was sputtering in
the midst of the U. S. -China trade war.
Stocks plummeted in December as the
Federal Reserve raised short-term interest
rates for the eighth time in nine quarters and
signaled that further tightening was likely.
Mortgage rates rose, discouraging many
would-be home buyers.
TAX
Continued from page 1
The Caltrain tax and polling data for it
will be discussed by the transit agency’s
board of directors at a meeting May 2. The
tax will likely span 30 years and provide
between $100 million and $200 million
annually for Caltrain depending on whether
the eighth-cent or quarter-cent tax is select-
ed.
“As successful as Caltrain is, it lacks a
dedicated funding strain so we need to secure
long-term funding to continue to increase
capacity on Caltrain, which is critical to
reducing congestion on the Peninsula,” said

American households also cut back:
Retailers’ sales were weak in January and
February, adding to the bleak outlook.
Share prices, though, began to rebound in
January, after the Fed signaled that it had put
any further rate increases on hold, likely for
the rest of the year. That emboldened
investors, who have become increasingly
confident that the economy will avoid the
worst-case scenario of a recession.
After falling nearly 20% at the end of last
year, the S&P 500 has now recouped all its
losses since late September. Though few
Americans have substantial stock holdings,
rising share prices can help boost consumer
confidence.
Economists cautioned that first quarter
growth was driven mostly by several tem-
porary factors that should reverse them-
selves in coming months. Retailers and
other companies, for example, sharply
increased the stockpiles of goods in their
warehouses and on store shelves. Those
additions added nearly 0.7 percentage point
to the quarter’s growth figure. And the trade
deficit narrowed sharply, adding an addi-
tional percentage point.
“We know this is not going to be sustain-
able,” said Joe Brusuelas, chief economist
at RSM, a tax consulting firm.
Businesses won’t likely order as many
Board Member Dave Pine, also a San Mateo
County supervisor.
The proposed tax comes at a time when
the agency is facing an ongoing structural
deficit and is completing work on the
Business Plan, a comprehensive policy
document that will determine how the rail-
road grows in the next few decades. That
vision entails an up to 300 percent increase
in ridership by 2040, expanded all-day serv-
ice, trains arriving every 10 minutes and
service extending to Monterey.
The tax is also being discussed less than
six months after the passage of Measure W,
the countywide half-cent sales tax increase
for transportation, and close to a year after
the passage of Regional Measure 3, which

new goods as they wait for consumer spend-
ing to reduce their stockpiles. That will
probably restrain growth. And the improve-
ment in the trade deficit last quarter occurred
partly because imports fell sharply after
many companies ramped up their buying
from China last year in advance of potential
tariff increases the Trump administration
had scheduled for Jan. 1.
The White House ended up delaying those
tariffs. As imports return to normal, the
trade deficit will likely widen again.
Exports also rose in the January-March
period, with China stepping up its purchas-
es of U.S. goods, which some economists
attributed to a temporary goodwill gesture
by Beijing amid high-stakes trade talks
between the two countries. Those negotia-
tions are ongoing.
State and local government spending also
rose last quarter, mostly to build more high-
ways, which added 0.4 percentage point to
growth and may also prove short-lived.
“Taking out the over-sized boosts from
net trade, inventories and highways invest-

Larry Kudlow, head of President Donald
Trump’s National Economic Council, said
the administration is sticking by its esti-
mate that growth will top 3% for all of
2019. He argued that low unemployment
and solid wage gains will lift consumer
spending, thereby boosting auto and home
sales.
“I think the prosperity cycle is intact,”
Kudlow told CNBC. “I think the Trump poli-
cies are working to rebuild America.”
Whether the stock market can continue to
march ahead — without additional evidence
of corporate or economic strength — is far
from clear.
“It’s important to note investors already
knew the U.S. economy was the strongest
in the world,” said Alec Young, managing
director of global markets research at FTSE
Russell.
Companies are in the midst of reporting
how much profit they made in the first three
months of 2019, and investors aren’t
expecting much. Analysts are forecasting
the first drop in earnings for S&P 500 com-
panies since the spring 2016.
But many companies have so far reported
results that were better than Wall Street
expected. That’s crucial because stock
prices tend to track profit growth over the
long term.
“The pollsters’ takeaway and our take-
away is there’s no significant statistical dif-
ference between [the two tax rates] in the
voters’ minds,” Murphy said.
Caltrain currently has the authority to
Bill 797 while a quarter-cent sales tax would
require an amendment to the legislation.
“We know more about the Business Plan
now than we did when SB 797 was crafted
and I think everybody understands that it’s
going to be a pretty big lift financially to
tually be included in that Business Plan,”
Murphy said. “So to give us the best chance
to do that we thought a quarter-cent would be
a more feasible, more viable funding solu-
tion for us.”

Giants’ three-game winning streak
Liao lighting up CSM track
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
After moving 6,400 miles from her native
Chinese Taipei, collegiate freshman Sophie
Liao is now sprinting toward her future 100
meters at a time.
Having grown up in Taipei City, Yan-Jun
“Sophie” Liao relocated to Foster City late last
year for the opportunity to further an already
prestigious amateur track and field career. As a
freshman at College of San
Mateo, she has certainly
done that, having emerged
as one of the greatest
sprinters in the history of
the women’s program.
This she’s done while
learning English on the fly.
When she took her Test
of English as a Foreign
Yan-Jun Language exam last
‘Sophie’ Liao December — a requisite for
community college admittance — she was stud-
ied enough to pass the written exam, despite
only ever spoken her native Mandarin. Liao
said she didn’t have her first conversation in
English until after being admitted to CSM when
she arrived at College Heights Stadium for her
first day of track practice in January.
“I can understand a little bit what they’re talk-
ing about,” Liao said. “But it was tough to speak
because I didn’t know how to speak. … It’s
much better now.”
While she has proven a quick study and has
already developed as a bright English conversa-
tionalist, Liao — which translates to “chat” in
English — has never had a problem with letting
her legs do her talking for her.
As a 100- and 200-meter specialist, Liao was
a two-time junior national champion in both
events at Lishan Senior High School in the
Neihu District of Taipei City. Now, at age 20,

129-110 Friday night to win their first-
round series 4-2.
The Warriors advanced to the Western
Conference semifinals and will face the
Houston Rockets beginning Sunday in a
rematch of last year’s conference finals.
That’s when Houston let a 3-2 lead slip away
and the Warriors went on to win their second
straight NBA championship.
Golden State found itself in the unfamiliar
position of trying to win a third road game
in a playoff series for the first time in fran-
chise history. Durant set the tone with his
38 points that tied for the second-most
points in a half in a playoff game.
He was 12 of 17 from the floor, made all
10 of his free throws and sank four 3-point-
ers in leading the Warriors to a 72-53 advan-
tage.
Durant had a vicious block of Danilo
Gallinari in the fourth that left both of them
on the floor. On the Warriors’ next posses-
sion, Durant converted a three-point play.
The Clippers fought off elimination with
a 129-121 win on the Warriors’ home floor
in Game 5, but aside from a game-opening
burst and another to start the second half
they couldn’t make a stand in front of their
crowd.
Durant’s 45 points on Wednesday were his
previous career playoff high.

Major coaching
changes at two
Atherton schools
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Two of the Peninsula top basketball
coaches have stepped down from their posts
over the last several weeks.
Menlo-Atherton’s Markisha Coleman and
Sacred Heart Prep’s Melanie Murphy have
both stepped aside after five-year runs at
their respective schools.
Coleman will be taking over at Eastside
College Prep, her alma
mater. There was no word
on Murphy’s future.
“I understand the allure
of going back to Eastside
College Prep,” M-A co-
athletic director Steven
Kryger said. “She had
tears in her eyes when she
told me. She told me this
Markisha (the ECP position) is the
Coleman only job she would leave
M-A for.”
Coleman, a 2007 Stanford graduate where
she walked on to the Stanford women’s bas-
ketball team before earning a full scholar-
ship her junior and senior years, was in the
unenviable position of having to replace
the legendary Pam Wimberly, who had guid-
ed the M-A girls’ program for 41 years.
Beginning in 1968 and lasting through the
2012 season. Coleman was an assistant for
two years under Morgan Clyburn,
Wimberly’s immediate replacement, before
moving into the head coach’s chair begin-
ning the 2014-15 season.
After taking the coaching reins, the Bears
returned to the top of public school basket-
ball on the Peninsula. In her five years,

Bologna wins Big 8 triple crown
Delta earns No. 1 seed for playoffs; Skyline falls short of postseason
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Clinching an outright conference title and
winning a triple crown — that’s the way San
Joaquin Delta sophomore Vinny Bologna
closed his regular season.
Seeing as neither of those things were in
hand for the Carlmont graduate heading into
play Friday, it made for quite the dramatic
finale.
Delta entered the day with a one game lead
atop the standings in the Big 8 Conference
and locked up the championship with an 8-
2 win at home over Modesto. And while
Bologna entered the day needing two RBIs
to catch teammate Zack Mathis for the RBI
lead in the Big 8, he cashed in in style,
going 1 for 2 with a two-run home run in his
final at-bat of the regular season.
Bologna finishes the regular season with
a .404 batting average and 11 home runs —
leading outright in both categories among
Big 8 hitters — along with 58 RBIs to tie
Mathis atop the leaderboard. That RBI total
also stands as tops in the state.
“It’s definitely a milestone,” Bologna
said. “It’s pretty cool I did it. Honestly, I
really wanted to do it. I just want to keep

TORONTO — Vladimir Guerrero Jr. capped
his major league debut with a double leading
off the ninth inning for his first hit, and
Brandon Drury followed with a winning two-
run homer with two outs to lift the Toronto
Blue Jays over the Oakland Athletics 4-2 on
Friday night.
The 20-year-old son of Hall of Famer
Vladimir Guerrero, consid-
ered the top prospect in the
major leagues, arrived at

Vinny Bologna changed April 20 when
Delta earned a remarkable
comeback victory over Cosumnes River by
a final score of 33-16. In that extraordinary
offensive output, Mathis totaled nine RBIs,
surging ahead of Bologna for the state lead.
“I noticed,” Bologna said. “I always want
to get him better, so I try to make him mad
and mess with him a little bit … because
that guy is so good. He’s a beast. So, when
he gets hot, he’s pretty unbelievable.”
When Bologna was a junior at Carlmont
in 2016, he witnessed his Scots teammate,
Jordan Brandenburg, win a Peninsula
Athletic League Bay Division triple crown.
Bologna, however, had never accomplished
the rare feat until play finished Monday.
The only person other than Mathis that
could have threatened Bologna’s triple-
crown run was Sierra’s Matt Lopez, who

first Blue Jays player out of the dugout to cele-
brate.
Ken Giles (1-1) struck out two on a one-hit
ninth.
Eric Sogard’s first-inning homer and Randal
Grichuk’s third-inning RBI single built a lead
off Mike Fiers, but Robbie Grossman hit a
two-run homer in the eighth off Joe Biagini.
Guerrero Jr. missed the start of the season
after an oblique injury in spring training. He
played four rehab games at Class A Dunedin
before moving up to Triple-A Buffalo, where he
hit .367 with three homers and eight RBIs in
eight games.

Jays ensured his maximum service time this
year would be 157 days - 15 days shy of being
eligible for free agency after the 2024 season.

Delta also clinched the No. 1 seed in
Northern California, giving the Mustangs

Bologna finished one home run shy of
claiming a share of the state home run

players finishing the regular season with 12

49ers shore up offense on draft’s second day Raiders draft Clemson CB

By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANTA CLARA — After only two
wide receivers went in the first 35
picks, the San Francisco 49ers had
plenty to choose from when it
came time to make their second-
round selection.
They opted to go for a player
they had some familiarity with
after coaching him in the Senior
Bowl, selecting South Carolina’s
Deebo Samuel with the 36th over-
all selection in the NFL draft. They
added another receiver when they
selected Baylor’s Jalen Hurd in the
third round with the 67th pick
Friday.
Only two receivers went in the
first round with Baltimore taking
Oklahoma’s Marquise Brown 25th
overall and New England using the
32nd pick on Arizona State’s
N’Keal Harry. No receivers went in
the first three picks in the second
round before the Niners pounced on
Samuel to replace the departed
Pierre Garcon.
Samuel had 62 catches for 882
yards and 11 touchdowns last sea-
son for South Carolina and is also
skilled as a returner with four kick
return touchdowns in his career
with the Gamecocks. He has expe-
rience playing both outside and in
the slot and excels with his ability
to run after the catch. He forced 21
missed tackles last season, accord-
ing to Pro Football Focus.
“Me personally, I just feel like
you’ve got to have that dog in
you,” Samuel said. “Having that
mindset, not one person is going
to bring you down, and you’re
going to make every catch that’s
thrown your way.”
Hurd spent three seasons as a
running back at Tennessee before
transferring to Baylor and chang-
ing positions. He had 69 catches
for 946 yards and four TDs last sea-
son. He had multiple shoulder sur-
geries in college and also had
minor knee surgery last year.
Samuel and Hurd join last year’s
second-round pick Dante Pettis and
speedster Marquise Goodwin as
San Francisco’s top receivers. The
team also signed Jordan Matthews
in free agency and brings back
Kendrick Bourne, Trent Taylor and
Richie James among others.
The 49ers second-round pick was
announced by DeMarcus Cobb, the
son of late 49ers scout Reggie
Cobb, who died last Saturday at the
age of 50. There was a moment of
silence to honor Reggie Cobb
before the pick was made.
San Francisco used its first-round
pick to bolster the edge rush, tak-
ing Ohio State’s Nick Bosa second
overall.
Bosa, the brother of Chargers
star Joey Bosa, had 17 1/2 sacks
and 29 tackles for loss in 30 games
with the Buckeyes. He played in
only three games last year before
suffering a core muscle injury that
required season-ending surgery.
Bosa will team with recently
acquired Dee Ford to give the
Niners two potent edge rushers to
help upgrade a defense that set an
NFL record for futility with only
seven takeaways last season.
Bosa was asked again about his
social-media history that included
some Twitter messages that he
deleted that could be considered
racist and homophobic. He apolo-
gized for one that called former
49ers quarterback Colin
Kaepernick a “clown” shortly after
he began his protest of racial
injustice and police brutality by
kneeling during the national
anthem.

ALAMEDA — At the national
championship game nearly four
months ago, Oakland Raiders gen-
eral manager Mike Mayock said he
was told by an NFL scout that if he
did nothing but draft players from
Alabama and Clemson, he’d get a
passing grade in his first year on
the job.
Mayock apparently took the
message to heart.
The Raiders drafted Clemson cor-
nerback Trayvon Mullen with the
40th overall pick Friday night after
twice trading back in the second
round in deals with Jacksonville
and Buffalo.
Mullen was the third player from
the national championship game
taken by Mayock in the first two
days of the draft. Oakland used two
of its three first-round picks on
Mullen’s Clemson teammate, defen-
sive end Clelin Ferrell, and Alabama
running back Josh Jacobs.
Mullen visited the Raiders prior
to the draft and likes the idea of
being reunited with Ferrell and
playing with Jacobs and safety
Johnathan Abram, Oakland’s third
pick in Thursday’s first round.
“This is awesome, man, being
able to get back with my boy,”
Mullen. “We have to get to work.
They’re going to get a great player,
especially with me and Clelin and
even John Abram, because that’s
like my best friend. Us guys getting
together, it’s going to be awe-
some.”
Mullen was a second-team All-
ACC pick during his junior year
with the Tigers. The 6-foot-1, 200-
pound Mullen has not allowed a
touchdown in coverage since 2017,
according to Pro Football Focus,
and surrendered fewer than 300
yards passing in his college career.
As luck had it, Mullen had one of
his best games with Mayock watch-
ing. Mullen was the defensive MVP
in the national championship game
after tallying six tackles with a
sack, interception and forced fum-
ble.
“I think it did a lot,” Mullen said.
“Just the way I went out there and
showed the world the elite player
that I am, how confident I am, how
strong and physical I am. I believe
that game played a big role. It moti-
vated me a lot to even making my
decision to come out early.”

Girls’ football lawsuit to gauge interest in school teams
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SALT LAKE CITY — The question of how
many girls would play football for an all-female
high school team if given the chance took cen-
ter stage Friday in a Utah lawsuit filed by a
teenage female football star.
More than 400 girls have joined a league that

Coleman compiled a Peninsula Athletic
League South Division record of 55-5, win-
ning four division titles in a row and three

Overall, Coleman had a win-loss record of
120-37, winning 20 games or more four
straight years. She just missed the 20-win
plateau this season, finishing 19-12. Her

The team qualified for the Northern

Division IV finals this past season.
“I think she is a phenomenal role model
for the girls,” Kryger said. “Here’s a woman

she will have a chance to add to her accolades
after qualifying for the finals of the women’s
100 and 200 at the Coast Conference champi-
onships Saturday at De Anza College-
Cupertino.
Liao’s qualifying time in the 100 at
Wednesday’s Coast Conference trials was 11.78
seconds, the fastest time of the day. It’s nearly a
second-and-a-half shy of her personal record of
11.64, a time she recorded in high school. After
taking two months off from training last fall,
she has been rebuilding toward her potential top
speed.
“I had to start all over again,” Liao said.
It has been four months since she took up
training again, this time under CSM coach
Kajari Burns. In his second year as the Bulldogs’
sprint, hurdles and jumps coach, he has helped
fine-tune Liao to again contend as a two-event
Coast Conference champ. In addition to the
100, she qualified in the women’s 200, also
with Tuesday’s best time, of 24.89.
“From my perspective, with the limited train-
ing time (this year), she did well,” Burns said.
Liao doesn’t share her coach’s appraisal,
downplaying the times she has recorded this
season. She started the year running the 100 in
the 12.3 range, a time she averaged when she
was in middle school. She has improved sub-
stantially. Tuesday she recorded her season-best
of 11.78 despite a stumble off the blocks. It also
marks the second fastest time in the history of
the CSM women’s program.  The top mark
belongs to Rhonda Robinson, set in 1983, of
11.63.
Liao has never in her life recorded that time.
“Not yet,” Liao said. “But I will.”
That quiet confidence took a substantial hit
last August at the Asian Games in Jakarta-
Palembang, Indonesia. Competing for Chinese
Taipei, the then 19-year-old — running in the
midst of mostly 20-somethings — fell short of
qualifying for the finals. With the top eight fin-

als, finishing one one-hundredth of second
behind the eighth qualifier.
Liao was devastated.
“I just wanted to start over again and forget
that,” Liao said. “That was my first experience.
I was emotional at the time but, a few days later,
I felt better.”
With the next Asian Games slated for
Hangzhou, China in 2022, Liao will be one of
those 20-somethings the next time around.
She’ll turn 24, to be exact, in the midst of those
games three years from now.
In the meantime, Liao is weighing her imme-
diate collegiate future. While she has one more
year of community college eligibility remain-
ing, there is a good chance she could be one-
and-done at CSM. This time next year, she could
very well be competing at the NCAA Division I
level. Liao said her decision of when to transfer
is uncertain.
“The offers are coming in,” Burns said. “A lot
of coaches are impressed.”
Liao expects to run at least one more meet at
College Heights Stadium, though. That, she
anticipates, will be at the California
Community College Athletic Association State
Championships, to be hosted by CSM, May
17-18.
Burns is radiating optimism about Liao’s
potential CSM swan song — and beyond. He
said her best race of the season on March 16 at
Sacramento State University’s Hornet Invite
showed what she could do against top-tier com-
petition. While Liao settled for 10th place in
the women’s 100, it marked the first time this
season she cracked 12 seconds with a time of
11.92.
Not to mention the caliber of talent Liao ran
against in the open invitational — meaning all
collegiate levels, from Division I to communi-
ty colleges, were represented — including four
of the top-nine finishers in front of her in the
100 running for UC Berkeley, and one, who
topped Liao’s time by three one-hundredths of a
second, for Stanford.
“That’s when she really seems to shine,”
Burns said. “Like most athletes, she needs the
best around her in order to shine. And at state,
she’s going to have that.”

Harrell, the NBA’s highest-scor-
ing bench combo, were never a
factor. Williams shot 3 of 21 for
eight points and Harrell was 4 of 7
for 10 points and five fouls. The
two reserves scored a combined 57
points on 23-for-33 shooting in
Game 5.
Gallinari and Gilgeous-
Alexander powered the Clippers’
17-10 spurt that opened the third
and pulled them to 82-71.
But Golden State held the
Clippers to seven points the rest
of the quarter and took a 102-78

While the Sharks needed back-
to-back overtime games to knock
off the Golden Knights, Colorado
was resting with six days off after a
five-game win over the Flames that
sent the Avalanche into the second
round for the first time since 2008.
The impact of the reduced rest
was felt as captain Joe Pavelski
remained sidelined from his con-
cussion in Game 7 and fellow for-
ward Joonas Donskoi remained
sidelined from a hard hit in Game 6.
The Avalanche had the edge early
and capitalized with Bourque’s goal
on a rebound of Cale Makar’s shot
just 2:10 into the game.
Jones kept the deficit at one with
a brilliant pad save against Carl
Soderberg. The Sharks then got the
equalizer when Logan Couture won
an offensive zone draw to Burns,
who maneuvered into the slot and
put a shot on net. Grubauer stopped
it but Nyquist knocked in the
rebound.

showed Rantanen kicked the puck
into the net, and Jones robbed

basically saved our season, ”
Nomicos said.
With the loss, Skyline falls into
a three-way tie for third place in
the Coast Pacific Conference,
along with Monterey Peninsula
and Hartnell. Monterey is ranked
ahead of both Skyline and Hartnell
in RPI and would receive any at-
large precedent if a third playoff
berth is allotted to the conference.
Ohlone took the Coast Pacific
title, with Cabrillo finishing in
second place; both earn automatic
playoff bids.

‘The White Crow’ a

portrait of Nureyev
By Lindsey Bahr
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The great Soviet ballet dancer Rudolf Nureyev does not come across as
particularly likable in “The White Crow,” Ralph Fiennes’ elegant
biopic of his early years.
Nureyev is arrogant, cruel, entitled, irritable and deeply resentful
of his modest, peasant upbringing. Yet this prodigy of dance and
voracious consumer of the arts is undeniably compelling to
watch for a few hours. Just be prepared to wince at many of
his choices, some of which helped him reach the top of the
dance world and others which will make you want to refer
Rudi to a good therapist.
Fiennes, who directs and also plays the part of an
influential ballet instructor in Rudi’s life, Pushkin, has
been mulling over this story for about two decades,
since he read author Julie Kavanagh’s 2007 biogra-
phy, “Nureyev: The Life.” His long study is evi-
dent in the final product, which powerfully blends
the sublime transcendence of an artist’s intellectu-
al awakening with the exciting tension of a polit-
ical thriller.

AMUS EMENT AND DECADENCE
AB OUND IN VANITY FAIR, ON
STAGE AT AMERICAN CONSERVA-
TORY THEATER THROUGH MAY 1 2 .
Ambitious Becky Sharp may not have been
born with wealth or status, but she’s deter-
mined to attain both — at any cost. Armed
with fierce wit and calculating charm, Becky
forges her own path through London’s high
society in Vanity Fair, playwright Kate
Hamill’s sharp-edged adaptation of William
Thackeray’s 19th-century novel about
class, social climbing and unexpected
changes in fortune. The talented ensemble
plays multiple roles, and set changes are
wittily signaled. Directed by Jessica Stone.
Two hours and 30 minutes with one inter-
mission.
THE BOOK BEHIND THE PLAY. Wiki
says …Vanity Fair is an English novel by
William Makepeace Thackeray which fol-
lows the lives of Becky Sharp and Emmy
Sedley amid their friends and families during
and after the Napoleonic Wars. It was first
published as a 19-volume monthly serial
from 1847 to 1848. The book’s title comes
from John Bunyan’s 1678 Pilgrim’s
Progress, in which Vanity Fair refers to a
stop along the pilgrim’s route: a never-end-
ing fair held in a town called Vanity, which
is meant to represent man’s sinful attach-
ment to worldly things.
AN ASIDE: American Conservatory
Theater Artistic Director Pam MacKinnon
said: “Kate Hamill’s Vanity Fair is a carnival
ride of a great novel made flesh and blood.
Actors create worlds. Feelings are big.
Ambition is white-hot. I’m thrilled to be
bringing Becky Sharp to The Geary
Theater.”

Aurora stages witty ‘The Importance of Being Earnest’
By Judy Richter
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
In Oscar Wilde’s “The
Importance of Being Earnest, ”
two young women separately vow
that they must marry a man named
Earnest.
In an effort to win their hands,
two young men pretend they’re
named Earnest. Of course their
schemes backfire, but all works
out well.
Presented by Aurora Theatre
Company, Wilde’s satire of late
19th century manners is full of
his signature bon mots. However,
this production directed by
incoming artistic director Josh
Costello doesn’t always work as
well.
This is especially true in the
first scene in London, where
Algernon Moncrieff (Patrick
Kelly Jones) welcomes a visit by
his friend, Jack Worthing
(Mohammad Shehata), who’s in
love with Algernon’s cousin,
Gwendolen Fairfax (Anna Ishida).
Jack has a manor house in the
country, where he’s responsible
for his ward, Cecily Cardew
(Gianna DiGregorio Rivera). To
go to London occasionally, he
pretends he has a wastrel brother
named Earnest there.

ous ways and her impeccable tim-
ing.
Jack, whom Gwendolen knows
as Earnest, proposes to her, but
21
Lady Bracknell forbids the
engagement because Jack is an
orphan.
In the meantime, Algernon is
intrigued by Jack’s description of
Cecily and is determined to meet
her. He goes to Jack’s manor
house in disguise, but the various
deceptions are soon uncovered,
leading to the play’s resolution.
In addition to any time with
Lockwood, the second act has an
amusing scene involving what
amounts to a cat fight between
the two young women, but they
immediately make up when they
discover what’s going on.
Another performance that
stands out is Trish Mulholland as
Miss Prism, Cecily’s governess.
Michael Torres does double duty
as Lane, Algernon’s discrete
manservant, and as the Rev.
Canon Chasuble, Miss Prism’s
would-be suitor.
Despite shortcomings by the
two young men, the overall pro-
duction is quite enjoyable thanks
to Wilde’s wit and Lockwood’s
performance.
Running about two and a half
hours with two short intermis-
sions, “The Importance of Being
Earnest” will continue through
May 19 at Aurora Theatre
Company, 2081 Addison St. ,
Berkeley.

Ava DuVernay shares her favorite classic films
By Lindsey Bahr
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — To say filmmaker Ava
DuVernay is a busy woman is an understate-
ment, but when Turner Classic Movies called
and asked her to curate the channel’s “The
Essentials” series, she knew she had to make
it work.
Usually “The Essentials” is filmed across
two or three days. But the only way it would
fit in with DuVernay’s schedule — which
included editing her “Central Park Five”
Netflix miniseries and prepping the DC film
“New Gods,” among other projects — was if
she and TCM host Ben Mankiewicz ruminat-
ed about 17 films in one marathon day.
The new season, which launches Saturday,
May 4, will include widely known films like
“West Side Story,” ‘’Dog Day Afternoon” and
“Gandhi” as well as films that may not be as
familiar, like “Losing Ground.” The
Associated Press got a front-row seat to the
conversations between DuVernay and TCM
host Ben Mankiewicz at the taping last
month in Los Angeles.
It was a film lover’s dream tuning into the
in-depth dialogues between the two cinema
fiends. Their talking continued even after the
cameras stopped rolling, from the pronunci-
ation of actor John Cazale’s name to Queen
Latifah’s attempt to make a film about singer
Ethel Waters and whether or not it was appro-
priate to discuss Lena Horne’s personal
affairs. The two didn’t shy away from talking
about films that may be problematic now but
were important at the time either, like

The dance sequences, in training and per-
formance, are magnificent. Fiennes is fasci-
nated by the athleticism of ballet, and the
granular details of the flexing muscles in
feet and forearms.
The film skips back and forth in time,
from Rudi’s sepia-toned and poverty-strick-
en childhood in frozen Ufa (he was born on
a train on the trans-Siberian railway) with
his mother and sisters, to his time with the
WEEKEND JOURNAL
Director Ava DuVernay arrives for the annual White House Correspondents’Association dinner.
Vincente Minnelli’s “Cabin in the Sky,”
which was the first musical to feature a cast of
all African Americans.
There’s no denying it was a long day, with
a wardrobe change and everything, but it was
worth it for both.
“It’s like we’re going on a second date,”
DuVernay said as she walked onto the iconic
living room set — where the fire is fake but
the books are real — in her second outfit of
the day. “I’ve changed my clothes. You have,
too.”
Kirov Ballet and the company’s pivotal trip
to Paris in 1961. This has a bit of a disori-
enting effect. The flashbacks to childhood
are beautiful to look at, but are so subtle that
they hardly reveal anything about why Rudi
is the way he is — a prickly outsider, or
“white crow.”
Paris is where the film, and Rudi, comes
alive. Rudi is played by Ukrainian dancer
Oleg Ivenko in his acting debut and, in addi-
tion to being a gorgeous dancer, he does a
fine job holding his own against Fiennes
and Adele Exarchopoulos, who plays Clara
Saint, a Parisian woman who helps show
Rudi the nightlife in her city.
REUTERS FILE PHOTO
“And I didn’t even wait three days to call
you,” Mankiewicz said.
Some of the films Mankiewicz had never
seen before DuVernay put them on her list,
like Haile Gerima’s “Ashes and Embers,”
about a Vietnam veteran returning home, and
Kathleen Collins’ semiautobiographical
“Losing Ground,” both from 1982. Others he
had seen before, but said he appreciates in a
different way after his talks with DuVernay,
like “Dog Day Afternoon,” ‘’Harlan County
U.S.A.” and “The Battle of Algiers,” which
In Paris, Rudi gets a taste of the liberated
life, going to museums, basking in the
beauty of Gericault’s “The Raft of the
Medusa” at the Louvre, and staying out all
night with Parisian intellectuals — all
while KGB agents monitor his every move.
This sort of freedom and fraternization with
Westerners obviously doesn’t sit well with
them. For the KGB agents, it’s a fascinating
dance: They want to appear enlightened and
superior on French soil, but they also need
to control Soviet artists and keep them in
line.
That tension comes to a head in a riveting
showdown at the airport. A Wikipedia page

he now counts among his top 10 or 15
favorite films.
Indeed, part of the reason for having a film-
maker like DuVernay collaborate for the
series is because of the unique perspective
she’d bring as a black woman filmmaker.
And she did not disappoint.
DuVernay programmed documentaries, first
features and important films by black film-
makers like Julie Dash, who directed and pro-
duced the groundbreaking film “Daughters of
the Dust.” She also included works from
female directors like the late Agnes Varda’s
first film “La Point Courte” and Chantal
Akerman’s “The Meetings of Anna”; interna-
tional films that had a profound effect on her,
like Satyajit Ray’s debut “Pather Panchali”;
and important landmarks in representation,
like “Sounder” and “Claudine.”
“People who love movies benefit from
thinking globally about film — globally lit-
erally and globally figuratively,”
Mankiewicz said. “In America, we had a class
system that kept more than half the people
out of being the leading voice in making this
art form, and Ava is proving to be a conduit
for helping us unlock that.”
In fact, in making her selections,
DuVernay chose a number of films that
weren’t in the TCM library at all, including
both “Losing Ground” and “Ashes and
Embers.”
DuVernay said there wasn’t a deep bench of
black filmmakers in the catalog, but that
TCM was “really responsive in going out and
getting those licenses” in order to air the
films for a wide audience.
can tell you what happened, but for those
who don’t know Nureyev’s story, I won’t
“spoil” it.
This is not a short film, clocking in at
over two hours, and it’s also a patient one
that requires more focus than, say, another
three-hour film out this week. But it’s also a
rewarding experience, and a true celebration
of the arts and the sometimes boorish per-
sonalities behind their beauty.

Weinsteincase buys some extra time
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Harvey Weinstein’s
sexual assault trial, postponed until
September, is now poised to end two
years after a wave of women’s allega-
tions against him sparked the
(hash)MeToo movement.
A Manhattan judge announced the
delay Friday after a closed-door hearing
in which prosecutors sought to broaden
their case to include some of those
women’s accounts.
Weinstein’s trial had been scheduled
to begin June 3, but both sides indicated
they need more time to sort through wit-
ness and evidence issues. It is now set
for Sept. 9, with jury selection expected
to take up to two weeks and testimony
lasting about a month.
Weinstein lawyer Jose Baez, who
joined the case in January, saw the delay
as a boon to a defense keen on discredit-
ing his accusers and showing that any
encounters were consensual.
“We had a very good day in court
today. We’re glad Burke said closing the courtroom for
that the trial got the hearing was “the only means avail-
back to September,” able to avoid the tainting of the jury

humanitarian respite center run by
Catholic Charities, met parents and
children seeking entry into the coun-
try and left 36 hours later inspired to
do even more. Dubbed Bay Area Border
Relief, the group has returned to Texas
two more times to support Sister
Norma Pimentel’s efforts in operating
the Humanitarian Respite Center in
McAllen. On Sunday, the group will
host Pimentel in Burlingame so she
can share her experience working with
asylum seekers with others.
Group member Lia Turk remembered
the widespread response to the issue
when the topic of family separations
at the border flared in national news,
and hoped hearing from someone
working on the border will help main-
tain interest in understanding the situ-
ations of those who are seeking pro-
tection in the United States.
“That issue still hasn’t gone away,”
she said. “Families are still being sep-
arated … we don’t want the general
public to forget about it.”
Having dedicated her life’s work to
helping refugees on the border,
Pimentel said the national attention
on immigration issues has impressed
upon her the importance of showing
the human aspect of the situation at the
border. Acknowledging how politi-
cized the issue can become, Pimentel
said she hopes the stories of the fami-
lies who seek refuge from violence in
their countries remind others of their
better understand the root causes of
migration.
“These families are here in our coun-
try,” she said. “It is our responsibility
to make sure we don’t overlook the fact
that they’re human beings. We must
not overlook that aspect of the immi-
gration reality we’re seeing here at the
border.”
Since 2014, Pimentel has operated
Humanitarian Respite Center in an
effort to address asylum seekers’ most
urgent needs when they are released
from detention centers. Turk explained
the center provides a hot shower,
clothes and a hot meal to those who
have legally made a claim for asylum.
By the time they are dropped off at the
center, many are on their way to fami-
ly members or sponsors who will host
them in another part of the country,
noted Turk, who added the center has
served more than 700 meals daily in
recent weeks.
Though she acknowledged many of
the issues causing migration into the
country are not new, Pimentel has seen
misconceptions about what is happen-
ing at the border grow in recent years.
But she has been encouraged by invita-
tions to speak at elementary schools,
conferences and in events like the one
Bay Area Border Relief is hosting
Sunday as well as from organizations
across the nation that have traveled to
the center and volunteered.
“Once you see it and you recognize
that … we have to protect lives … that
is something we must never close our
eyes to,” she said. “It’s wonderful that
many of us can come together.”

ries of the families and children she
has met at the border in the hopes they
will touch others’ hearts and inspire
them to think about what they can do
to respond to what’s happening.
Turk said Bay Area Border Relief has
expanded its efforts to support
Pimentel’s work to include fundraising
for a permanent space for the center as
well as coordination of pizza meals at
the center and clothing and supply
donations. She said the group is plan-
ning another trip to the center in June
and expects to fill a 26-foot truck with
toiletries, clothing, toys and other
supplies with the help of local
libraries and cities.
For Turk, Pimentel’s visit offered an
opportunity for those who have had
concerns about how asylum seekers are
being treated at the border to bring the
issue’s complexities in better focus.
“It will just bring the issue closer to
home and hopefully lots of local peo-
ple will learn more about what’s hap-
pening on the border,” she said.

from the Border” will be held 4 p.m.
Sunday at Our Lady of Angels

notice of petition to
adMiniSter eState of
Arthur L Reno
Case Number: 19PRO00459
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of Arthur L Reno, Arthur
Lee Reno, Arthur Reno, Art Reno. A Pe-
tition for Probate has been filed by
Donald M. Ahlbach in the Superior Court
of California, County of San Mateo. The
Petition for Probate requests that
Donald M. Ahlbach be appointed as per-
sonal representative to administer the
estate of the decedent.
The petition requests the decedent’s will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The will and any codicils are availa-
ble for examination in the file kept by the
court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant au-
thority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: MAY 10, 2019 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 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
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.Oth-

Sunday Mass canceled across Sri Lanka a week after bombings
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLOMBO, Sri Lanka — Catholic leaders
canceled Sunday Masses indefinitely across
Sri Lanka and officials urged Muslims to stay
home for Friday prayers in an extraordinary
call by the clergy to curtail worship as fear of
more attacks plagued the island nation after
the deadly suicide bombings on Easter.
Shops were closed, streets were empty and
heavy security patrols continued across the
country despite police saying the alleged
mastermind of the attacks that killed over
250 people had died in one of the suicide
blasts.
Those Sri Lankans who did venture out
spoke about the fear encompassing daily life
at a level unseen since a long civil war ended
a decade ago. Many are angry that the gov-
ernment, paralyzed by internal disputes, had-
n’t acted on intelligence obtained weeks
before Easter that warned of the attacks.
On Friday night, Sri Lanka’s military said
its soldiers in the eastern part of the country
engaged in a gunbattle with suspects believed
to be linked to the attacks, and police
announced a 24-hour curfew until further
notice in the Muslim-dominated area where
the shooting took place.
Continuing government confusion in its
investigation — from drastically lowering

the death toll to misidentifying a Brown
University student as a militant — only added
to the public’s worries.
“Everyone is nervous,” said Abdullah
Mohammed, a 48-year-old Muslim in
Colombo. “Not just the Muslims. Buddhists,
Christians, Hindus — everybody’s nervous.”
Officials from the police to the prime min-

ister say militants remain on the loose and
have access to explosives. That has led to
increased security at shrines, churches, tem-
ples and mosques across the multiethnic
country of 21 million off the southern coast
of India.
Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith told journalists
that church officials had seen a leaked securi-
ty document describing Roman Catholic
churches and other denominations as a major
target. Ranjith, who is the archbishop of
Colombo, asked the faithful across Sri Lanka
to stay home for their own safety.
“We don’t want repetitions,” Ranjith said.
It was an extraordinary request for a
Catholic clergyman to make, as churches
often remain a refuge. It came on the day that
priests allowed journalists inside one of the
bombed churches, St. Anthony’s Shrine in
Colombo, where broken glass littered a
blood-stained floor. Giovanni Maria Vian, a
church historian and emeritus editor of the
Vatican newspaper, said he believed it was the
first time the church had canceled Masses
across a country for security reasons.
The U.S. Embassy in Sri Lanka also warned
the public to stay away from places of wor-
ship over the weekend, a stark alert underlin-
ing that authorities believe that attackers
remain at large.
Authorities told Muslims to worship at
home rather than attend communal Friday
prayers that are the most important religious
service of the week, but several mosques held
services anyway. At a mosque in Colombo,

the reigning champions from Bellarmine
Prep. The Iron Panthers were not the only
local representatives in the champi-
onships, as the Boba Bots from Mills High
School placed 31st out of 67 teams.
Senior Chris Sung celebrated the win as a
testament to the dedication and collabora-
tion among Iron Panthers teammates.
“It just feels really good to be in a posi-
tion where we can see our robot reach that
level of accomplishment,” he said.
Team co-captain Katherine Mohr shared a
similar sentiment.
“This has really just been an incredible
moment for our team,” said Mohr, who
noted much of the team is comprised of sen-
iors who are departing at the pinnacle of
As part of the competition, teams needed
to design a remote control robot capable of
picking up balls which were shot into a
goal, then the robot moved a disc to cover
the goal.
Teammates needed to drive and navigate
the robot, as well as tune and repair techni-
cal issues. As part of the process, teammates
honed their skills in programming, wiring,
design and a variety of other engineering
techniques.
Beyond individual capabilities required to
build and operate the robot, co-captain
Darrion Chen said communication and job
sharing with other teammates was essential
to reach peak performance.
“You can’t just build one system and not
accommodate for other teams,” said Chen.
Since no one was capable of working in
isolation, Chen said the collective effort
needed to succeed makes the victory much
more gratifying. But the countless hours
petition were made easier by the enthusiasm
shared among teammates, he said.
“What’s great about our team culture is
that everyone really wants to contribute,”
he said. “It’s great to see all types of people
volunteering on all different types of
tasks.”
Getting everyone to work together is not
without its challenges though, noted robot
driver Cherilyn Yu, who said one of the more
difficult elements of competition is collec-
tively navigating a playing field occupied
by so many other robots.
She said the rapid pace of competition at
the championship can be taxing as well,
since only 10 minutes is granted between
matches, troubleshooting issues in a limit-
ed window requires maximum efficiency.
Overcoming those hurdles make the ulti-
mate reward even more gratifying, said
Mohr.
“We have seen all the effort we are putting
said.
The victory is not the end of the road for
the Iron Panthers though, as teammates are
taking a victory lap with hopes of spread-
ing awareness about the joy of science,
technology, engineering and math with
younger students.
As part of that effort, she said some team-
mates are looking to inspire young students
by granting them some exposure to robot-
ics. The team will also be at the Dream
Machines event in Half Moon Bay this
weekend showing off its robot.
For her part, Mohr said she is optimistic
the team’s success will give greater expo-
sure to the benefits of teamwork and inno-
vative design.
“It’s not just about winning the competi-
tion, it’s also about being able to teach the
younger generation about engineering and
robotics so they have this great education,”
she said.
