Probe: No new indictments Robert Mueller has concluded his Russia-Trump investigation By Eric Tucker, Michael Balsamo and Chad Day THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — Special counsel Robert Mueller closed his long and contentious Russia investigation with no new charges Friday, ending the probe that has cast a dark shadow over Donald Trump’s presidency but launching a fresh wave of political battles over the still-confidential findings. The report’s details remained a mystery, accessible to only a handful of Justice Department officials while Attorney General William Barr pre-

pared to release the “principal conclusions” soon. But the closure of the 22-month probe without additional indictments by Mueller was welcome news to some Robert Mueller in Trump’s orbit who had feared a final round of charges could ensnare more Trump associates, including of the president’s family. The Justice Department said the report was delivered by a security offi-

cer Friday afternoon to the office of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, and then it went to Barr. Word of the delivery triggered reactions across Washington, Donald Trump i n c l u d i n g De m o c r a t s ’ demands that it be quickly released to the public and Republicans’ contentions that it ended two years of wasted time and money.

County, workers reach tentative agreement Months of negotiations, stalled talks could end as by Tuesday By Anna Schuessler DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

More than five months after the contracts for more than 900 county employees expired, the Human Services bargaining unit of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Local 829 is nearing a new threeyear deal after the union’s largest bargaining unit ratified a tentative agreement this week. Up for review at the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors’ Tuesday meeting, the tentative agreement includes a 4 percent cost of living adjustment effective March 24 and other cost of living and equity increases planned for the three-year term as well as longevity pay. Aside from starting dates for some wages hikes, the new contract is nearly identical to a memorandum of understanding reached in February between county officials and the union’s 10 other bargaining units, which included a 4 per-

Gov. Newsom to waive environmental rules to speed up forest management By Kathleen Ronyane THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO — California Gov. Gavin Newsom moved Friday to by environmental regulations to prepare for the next wildfire season, a move he said was necessary to prevent further loss of life even as it frustrated activists in a state viewed as a national environmental leader. “The increasing wildfire risks we face as a state mean we simply can’t wait until a fire starts in order to start deploying emergency resources,” Newsom said in a statement ahead of declaring a state of emergency. California experienced two of its most destructive and deadly wildfire seasons in 2017 and 2018 and experts say climate change increases the risks. Newsom said clearing dead trees at a quick pace is essential to diminishing future threats. President Donald Trump has blamed California fires on poor forest management, though

experts say climate change caused by people is more of a factor. Newsom is taking recommendations from the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, but one environmental group Gavin Newsom likened it to actions by Trump. “Gov. Newsom should reject the Trump approach of logging and rolling back critical environmental protections, ” said Shaye Wolf, climate science director for the Center for Biological Diversity. Newsom also pledged $50 million for fire preparedness in low-income communities and asked the private sector to bring forward innovative proposals. The center and other environmental groups said focusing on retrofitting and creating defensible space around homes is more effective than thinning forests.

Sierra Club California said clearing trees might create more danger by loosening soil that could lead to mudslides. Newsom’s order will apply only to 35 projects covering nearly 141 square miles (365 square kilometers) of land, allowing state fire officials to go around multiple state regulations. They include provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, one of the nation’s strictest statelevel regulations. istration officials would need to give the go ahead to each individual project and it’s unclear exactly which regulations each individual project would forego. Newsom said moving through the normal process would drastically slow down the state’s ability to act. “Some of these projects quite literally, not figuratively, could take two years to get done, or we could get them done in the next two months,” he told an audience in Lake County, the site of several massive wildfires in recent years.

SAN FRANCISCO — Pacific Gas & Electric Co. pushed back Friday on a U.S. judge’s revised proposals to prevent the utility’s equipment from causing more wildfires, saying it could not “monitor every tree at every moment of every day” to ensure they don’t pose a threat to its electric lines in violation of California laws. Judge William Alsup earlier this month proposed requiring the company to fully comply with all vegetation management and clearance laws as part of its probation in a criminal case. Alsup called the utility’s

That requirement would likely result in probation violations because tree conditions are constantly changing, PG&E said in a court filing. “A tree that was compliant at the time of a prior inspection might become a non-compliant hazard tree one day later when it is damaged by a natural or man-made event or three months later after a bark beetle infestation has taken hold,” attorneys for the company said. Alsup should also leave assessments of PG&E’s compliance with vegetation management laws to state law enforcement offi-

cials and regulators, the attorneys said. PG&E also objected to Alsup’s proposal to ban it from paying dividends to shareholders until it meets his vegetation management requirements. The company said that requirement would substantially hamper its ability to raise money from investors, which in turn would affect its safety efforts.

Belmont city manager to retire After 42 years in public service and nearly nine with Belmont, City Manager Greg Scoles announced he will retire, effective June 8, in a memo to city staff. “I am extremely proud to have been part of the management team here in Belmont. I believe that together we have accomplished several significant achievements, many of which have been very rewarding to me personally,” Scoles said in the memo. Scoles said some notable accomplishments include the merger of the fire department with San Mateo and Foster City, multiyear hazmat service contract with San Mateo County, improvement of the council’s priority process, code of ethics and conduct, and balanced budgets with unprecedented and growing General Fund reserves.

DES MOINES, Iowa — Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds said Friday that recent flooding in the state has caused an estimated $1.6 billion in damage, pushing the total costs from the devastating Midwest flooding to at least $3 billion. The ongoing flooding along the Missouri River has damaged thousands of homes and inundated vast swaths of agricultural land with water in Nebraska, Iowa and Missouri. The flooding, which followed heavy rains and snowmelt this month, has also been blamed for three deaths. Reynolds said she sent a letter asking President Donald Trump to quickly issue a disaster declaration for 57 counties in Iowa where businesses, homes and levees have been severely impacted by flooding, including along the Missouri River. More counties may be added to the list. More than 1,200 homes in Iowa have been is a widely respected city manager who fostered a culture of ability and service. “I am very grateful for his outstanding service to our city; the City Council will deeply miss his skills, knowledge, Greg Scoles experience and responsiveness. Greg is an effective listener and has built an excellent city organization that delivers top services to our residents. He is a seasoned manager who provided leadership at a pivotal time during the Great Recession and he helped secure the financial stability of the city through innovative partnerships with other agencies. I wish him and his wife Carol a great retirement — he has left big shoes to fill,” Hurt said. Scoles was previously Public Works director and deputy city manager in Santa Rosa and replaced Jack Crist, who retired from Belmont in 2010. He is an active member of the Belmont Rotary Club. The city manager is appointed by the City Council, which will determine when and how to fill the vacancy.

About 70 miles of levees in Iowa operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers are damaged or destroyed, and the cost to repair them is estimated at $350 million. About 175 miles of non-federal agriculture levees also need repair, at an additional cost of $175 million. “We’re just beginning the season, so this isn’t something we can think about for two years,” Reynolds said. “We need to figure out a way to secure our communities and our farmland and start to repair the agricultural levees and focus on the Corps levees that have been compromised.” Development Department.

Sanders aims for strong showing in California By Michael R. Blood THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES — By the time California’s presidential primary election arrived in 2016, Bernie Sanders was a beaten man. This time around, everything has changed. The senator from Vermont was an insurgent outsider three years ago in a head-tohead race against Hillary Clinton, the former first lady, U.S. senator and secretary of state whose grip on the Democratic nomination was effectively unshakeable by the time California’s primary was held in June that year. When Sanders heads to San Diego on Friday for the first of three California campaign rallies, the self-described democratic socialist will be asking for votes in a Democratic contest in which he’s a topshelf candidate. He’ll be campaigning in a state that could be pivotal to choosing the

Sanders attracted a Bernie Sanders throng of cheering ers to an outdoor rally Friday in San Diego, where he promised to win California in 2020 and railed against President Donald Trump’s leadership. He said Trump wants to divide the nation by skin color, gender, sexual orientation and nationality, but his istration would do “exactly the opposite.” He also previewed his approach Wednesday when he spoke to striking workers in Los Angeles.

Around the nation Trump says he’s bucking Treasury, reversing N. Korea sanctions PALM BEACH, Fla. — President Donald Trump tweeted Friday that he has reversed his istration’s decision to slap new sanctions on North Korea, with his press secretary explaining that he “likes” leader Kim Jong Un and doesn’t think they’re necessary. It’s unclear, however, which sanctions the president was referencing in his tweet, which took Treasury officials by surprise. “It was announced today by the U.S. Treasury that additional large scale Sanctions would be added to those already existing Sanctions on North Korea,” Trump wrote from his private club in Palm Beach. “I have today ordered the withdrawal of those additional Sanctions!” The White House did not immediately respond to questions about which sanctions Trump was referring to. No new action against North Korea was announced by the Treasury Department on Friday, though Trump this week did threaten that new ones could be added.

Venezuela is key topic between Trump and Caribbean leaders PALM BEACH, Fla. — The political and economic crisis in Venezuela tops the agenda of President Donald Trump’s meeting Friday with leaders from the Caribbean, a region that has been far from united in ing the U.S. call for the ouster of President Nicolas Maduro. Trump is hosting the leaders of Jamaica, Bahamas, Haiti, Dominican Republic and St. Lucia at his affluent Mar-aLago club to show his for Caribbean countries that back democratic transition in Venezuela. The five have either denounced Maduro or have ed more than 50 countries in recognizing Juan Guaido as the rightful interim leader of the nation. The Trump istration considers Maduro’s government a dictatorship and says he was re-elected in an illegitimate election.

Islamic State driven from last Syria territory, Trump says By Deb Riechmann and Lolita C. Baldor THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Islamic State militants no longer control any territory in Syria, President Donald Trump proudly announced Friday, though the U. S. was still launching airstrikes and sporadic fighting continued on the ground against the group’s holdouts. “It’s about time,” Trump exclaimed on an airport tarmac in Florida. He held up maps indicating the territory once held by the IS group in Iraq and Syria had shrunk to nothing. Elimination of the last IS stronghold in Baghouz in eastern Syria would mark the end of the militants’ selfdeclared caliphate, which at its height blanketed large parts of Syria and Iraq. The campaign to take back the territory by the U.S. and its partners has spanned five years and two U.S. presidencies, unleashed more than 100,000 bombs and killed untold numbers of fighters and civilians. Controlling territory and assets, such as oil facilities, has given the group a stream of revenue and a place from which to launch attacks around the world. However, if history is a guide, the reconquering of IS-held territory could prove a short-lived victory unless Iraq and Syria fix a problem that gave rise to the extremist movement in the first place: governments pitting one ethnic or sectarian group against another. Trump has been teasing the victory for days, most recently Wednesday when he said the milestone would be

Donald Trump shows maps depicting the size of the ‘ISIS physical caliphate.’ achieved by that night. On Friday, after a flight to Florida, Trump held up a map to ers cheering him on the tarmac. Then he turned to reporters standing nearby. “Here’s ISIS on Election Day,” he said, linking coalition gains since then to his presidency. He pointed to a swath of red signifying the group’s previous territorial hold, and then to a version without any red, “Here’s ISIS right now.” But Trump appeared to be overstating his istration’s contribution to the anti-IS fight. A close-up of the map showed that he was displaying the group’s footprint at a high-point in 2014, not Election Day 2016, by which point the U.S.-backed campaign was well underway. And American officials familiar with

the situation in Syria said that the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces — who had not announced victory and weren’t planning to on Friday — were still battling remaining IS fighters who were holed up in tunnels along river cliffs in Baghouz. Another official confirmed that the U.S. launched airstrikes there on Friday and that the fighting continued to clear out final pockets of IS . Associated Press journalists in Baghouz said coalition fighters were still conducting mop-up operations in the village after seizing an encampment Tuesday where the extremists had been for months. SDF spokesman Kino Gabriel told AP earlier Friday that there were still IS fighters and women and children hiding in caves near Baghouz.

What’s in a name?

Tone it down on college issions By Vishu Prathikanti

O

n March 19, the University of California, Santa Barbara, released their issions decisions, and I, like many, was waitlisted. I wasn’t feeling too disappointed about it though; UCSB is ranked 30th in national universities and fifth in national public universities according to U.S. News & World Report, so it’s not surprising that it would attract a lot of accomplished applicants. However, I found out that many at my school seemed to agree with me. I was sitting in the library doing physics homework when one of my friends came up to me, saying “I came to here complain.” She too had been waitlisted to UCSB, but had opened it with her friends, many of whom either received a spot or didn’t even bother applying. When one friend, who had already been itted to MIT, received an acceptance, the response from many was cutting sarcasm directed at UCSB. Finally, when one student who said, “wow, what a great school” with a taunting tone. At that point, she decided she had to leave, and came to the library to talk to me.

To me, this story was sad, but one I realized I had experienced before. My two closest friends had also made fun of the University of California, Davis (ranked 10th in national public universities according to U.S. News) when I expressed interest in going there, with one calling it “cow country” and “farmland.” The idea of an acceptable college has been warped for many families, especially those in the affluent Bay Area. We saw this last week when multiple families were implicated in a cheating scandal in which parents bought their kid’s way into college through unscrupulous means such as bribing sport team coaches. Sending your kid to a great college has become so valued that many believe it is necessary to spend half a million dollars to do it. And honestly, why? What is so wrong with accepting your kids going to schools that aren’t in the top 20? I am not saying that it is bad to have high hopes and aspirations to go to a great college; I’d be lying if I

S

said I didn’t apply to the top schools in the nation with the hopes of getting accepted. The problem is the elitist college culture that parents and even peers have helped set up. The odds seem against us students: unless they are accepted into MIT, their accomplishments never really seem like enough. College issions are harder today than they have ever been, and there plenty of schools at which students can be successful. The culture of college issions has got to tone down a little, and everyone — parents and students — should re-evaluate what a great school is. Vishu Prathikanti is a senior at Burlingame High School.

facts that accurately their opinions. It was therefore with bafflement that I read “The War on Religion” by your columnist Jonathan Madison. On March 19, he decried the massacre of Muslim worshippers in New Zealand and went on to discuss the ancient persecution of Christians and a rise in Christian church attacks in the U.S. and abroad. He then listed eighteen examples of attacks at Christian churches in America. A Google search of these incidents reveals that none of the attacks were motivated by hatred of religion. They were provoked primarily by domestic disputes, disgruntled former church , or disgruntled employees. One involved the murder of an abortion doctor by an anti-government extremist. Another was a racially motivated massacre in a black church. Examples of actual religious hate crimes in America are easy to find. Mr. Madison might have consulted the 2017 FBI report on religious hate crimes which reveals that 58.1 percent were anti-Jewish and 18.7 percent were anti-Islamic, the rest being scattered among other denominations. The one thing that most of these deplorable incidents had in common

Death penalty Editor, I am very incensed about the California governor’s moratorium regarding the death penalty. The people of California have cast their vote for the death penalty in the initiative of 2016. The action of the governor is unconstitutional as the governor’s job is to enforce the law, not make or change laws.  Also, the right to have an initiative is there for a reason and has been ignored by this governor. Lastly, sparing violent criminals from the ultimate punishment offends many victims of violent crime. I used to be against the death penalty, but realize that the most heinous criminals should face the ultimate punishment.

urely one thing that separates us from the animals is our propensity for naming things. Although animals are able to identify other individuals of their species, my guess is that only humans give them names. We humans, of course, don’t just name other people. We name pretty much everything. Presumably the most common reason we do is to more efficiently communicate. For instance, when asked where I’m from I often just say “Redwood City,” only clarifying where that is if I receive a blank look. But no further elaboration is needed if the person I’m talking to actually recognizes the name. Being humans, even when we have good reason for giving something a name we sometimes do it with humor. Some time ago a contest was held to name a new British research vessel, with the winning entry, based on a popular vote, being “Boaty McBoatface.” Although the ship’s owners instead elected to christen the ship RRS Sir David Attenborough, they did at least give the people’s choice to one of the submersibles assigned to the ship. Allow me to switch gears for a moment. I recently learned that some of the construction activity now taking place in Greg Wilson Redwood Shores is to replace an old, failing wastewater pipe that feeds Silicon Valley Clean Water’s wastewater treatment plant. SVCW’s wastewater treatment plant has been a tremendous success, so much so that the existing pipe that brings in wastewater is experiencing flows and pressures far greater than that for which it was designed. As a result, the pipe not only leaks, but also occasionally fails. To fix the situation, it will be replaced by 3 miles of pipeline that measures 15 feet across on the outside and 11 feet across on the inside. This new pipeline will follow a roughly L-shaped path. At its southern end, on Inner Bair Island, it will connect to a recently constructed 48-inch-diameter pipe coming out of Redwood City. The new pipeline will run to the north, beneath the San Carlos Airport, to a point just beyond the intersection of Shoreway Road and Redwood Shores Parkway. There it will hook up with a pipe delivering wastewater from San Carlos, Belmont and the West Bay Sanitary District, while also making a gentle turn toward the east. It will then continue beneath Redwood Shores Parkway for much of its run out to Radio Road, where Silicon Valley Clean Water’s wastewater treatment plant is located. Digging the 35- to 65-foot-deep trench that would be needed for such a behemoth would be incredibly disruptive, especially to traffic along Redwood Shores Parkway and to the flight operations at the San Carlos Airport. Thus, the team working on the project settled on another method: a tunnel. These days tunneling is a mostly solved problem. To dig a tunnel such as will be needed for this pipeline, civil engineers employ a Tunnel Boring Machine, or TBM. As I write this a TBM is being constructed in for SVCW’s job, and it’s a big one. The 850-ton cylindrical machine will be 16 feet in diameter and an incredible 650 feet long. In operation it should advance somewhere between 50 and 60 feet per day. The actual tunneling process should begin this fall, and continue until late 2021. The tunnel will be dug in two phases. First, the TBM will be lowered into a large shaft currently being dug just north of the intersection of Redwood Shores Parkway and Shoreway Road. The TBM will dig a 1-mile-long tunnel beneath the San Carlos Airport to a waiting shaft at the northwestern end of Inner Bair island. There it will be lifted from the shaft and transported back to its starting point. Once it will again be lowered into the shaft, this time to dig the 2-mile-long tunnel beneath Redwood Shores Parkway to a third shaft at the wastewater treatment plant. So, what does all of this have to do with names and naming things? It seems that the folks who build tunnels using TBMs have a tradition — they feel it brings them luck to give the boring machine a name before it starts work. Thus, SVCW is holding a contest to give the new machine a name. The contest is open to everyone over 18 years of age who lives or works in Redwood Shores (which lets me out, unfortunately; so much for “Pipey Mipeface”). Contest entries must include not only the proposed name of the TBM, but also either an essay (200 words or less) or a video (no longer than two minutes) explaining the significance of the proposed name and how it relates to SVCW’s mission — which is to protect public health and the environment. For full rules and to submit a contest entry, head to svcw-rescu.org/nametheTBM. And have fun!

Stocks, bond yields fall as growth worries spread By Damian J. Troise and Alex Veiga

DOW JONES INDUSTRIALS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Wall Street was roiled Friday by new signs that global economic growth is slowing. The jitters triggered a sell-off in stocks and sent bond yields sharply lower, flashing a possible recession warning. The wave of selling knocked 460 points off the Dow Jones Industrial Average and gave the benchmark S&P 500 index its worst day since Jan. 3. The Russell 2000 index of smaller company stocks fell more than the rest of the market as traders offloaded risker assets. Worried investors shifted money into bonds, which sent yields much lower. The yield on the 10-year Treasury dropped to 2. 43 percent from 2. 54 percent late Thursday, a big move. The slide in bond yields hurt bank stocks which, along with technology companies, ed for much of the broad decline in stocks. The utilities sector was the only one to eke out a gain. “What’s really giving investors concern today is this weak global economic data here in the U.S. and in Europe,” said Jeff Kravetz, regional investment director for U.S. Bank Wealth Management. The market’s skid runs counter to what has been a strong start to the year on Wall Street as stocks rebounded from a steep slide at the end of 2018. The bull market for U. S. stocks recently marked its 10th anniversary and is now the longest ever. The fear that gripped investors Friday was fueled by a steadily dimming outlook for the global economy. China, the world’s second-largest economy after the United States, is weakening. And other economies that depend heavily on purchases in China have suffered as a result. Factory production in the euro currency

OTHER INDEXES

alliance has fallen at its steepest rate in about six years. In , Europe’s largest economy, a survey of purchasing manager manufacturers posted its sharpest production drop in nearly six years. Orders to German factories have also tumbled. In another worrying sign, the yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell Friday below the yield on the three-month Treasury bill. When that kind of “inversion” in bond yields occurs, economists fear that it can signal a recession within the coming year. The S&P 500 index dropped 54. 17 points, or 1.9 percent, to 2,800.71. The Dow gave up 460.19 points, or 1.8 percent, to 25,502.32. The Nasdaq composite, which is heavily weighted with technology stocks, slid 196. 29 points, or 2. 5 percent, to 7,642.67. The Russell 2000 lost 56.49 points, or 3.6 percent, to 1,505.92.

European stocks also finished sharply lower Friday. Despite wavering from gains to losses throughout the week, the S&P 500 index is still up more than 11 percent so far in 2019, which still counts as a blockbuster start to a year. Key bond yields fell this week to their lowest levels in more than a year after the Federal Reserve said it was seeing slower growth in the economy and no longer expected to raise interest rates this year. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note, which is used to set rates on mortgages and many other kinds of loans, is now sharply lower from its recent high of 3.23 percent in early October. The prospects of slowing global economic growth has motivated investors to rebalance their holdings as they “digest the new reality,” said Marina Severinovsky,

Earlier this month the European Central Bank said it would push back the earliest date for interest rate increases. It also said it would offer ultra-cheap loans to banks, ing their ability to keep lending. “It’s very positive that, not just the Fed, but other policy makers have acknowledged the situation is kind of dangerous on the global slowdown and are taking action,” Severinovsky said. The decline in bond yields threatened the profitability of banks because it forces them to charge lower interest rates on loans. Bank of America slid 4.2 percent.

Digital scrapbooking site Pinterest files for IPO By Rachel Lerman and Barbara Ortutay THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Pinterest Inc. files for an initial public offering with U.S. regulators. A Pinterest banner hangs on the facade of the New York Stock Exchange.

SAN FRANCISCO — Pinterest is pinning its future on Wall Street, with the digital scrapbooking site on Friday filing for an initial public offering of stock. It follows a similar filing with securities regulators earlier this month by ride-hailing company Lyft in what is shaping up to be a busy season for technology IPOs. Also expected to sell stock to the public in the coming weeks: Lyft rival Uber and messaging app Slack. Pinterest said in its filing that it intends to list itself on the New York Stock Exchange using the ticker symbol “PINS.” The company hasn’t yet said how many shares it’s selling in the IPO or how much money it intends to raise. The San Francisco-based company had revenue of $756 million last year, a 60 percent bump from 2017. It had a loss of $63 million last year, compared to a loss of $130 million in 2017. Pinterest allows people to search for and

“pin” images as inspiration for fashion, interior design, travel and more. The company said it has more than 250 million s each month, and s have saved more than 175 billion pins since the site was launched. Pinterest has raised nearly $1.5 billion in the private markets, and was last valued at $12. 3 billion in 2017, according to PitchBook Data. Pinterest has long shunned being labeled a social network. Because of that, it doesn’t push s to add friends or build connections. It also means it’s been able to avoid problems of its larger rivals like Facebook. But despite the lack of friend networks, many rs likely still consider Pinterest to be part of their “social” budgets, said eMarketer analyst Andrew Lipsman, meaning it competes in part with Facebook, Snapchat and others. Pinterest makes advertising revenue when businesses promote pins in s’ feeds. Pinterest has the potential to be more valuable than most digital media to rs, Lipsman said, because it has direct information about what a wants.

Business brief GM announces jobs, electric vehicle after Trump criticism ORION TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Less than a week after a series of critical tweets from the president over an Ohio plant closure, General Motors is announcing plans to add 400 jobs and build a new electric vehicle at a factory north of Detroit. The company says it will spend $300 million at its plant in Orion Township, Michigan, to manufacture a Chevrolet vehicle based on the battery-powered Bolt. GM wouldn’t say when the new workers will start or when the new vehicle will go on sale, nor would it say if the workers will be new hires or come from a pool of laid-off workers from the planned closings of four U.S. factories by January. The company also announced plans Friday to spend about another $1.4 billion at U.S. factories with 300 more jobs but did not release a time frame or details.

Cyclone deaths could exceed 1,000 as need for aid grows By Cara Anna and Farai Mutsaka THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIRA, Mozambique — As flood waters began to recede in parts of Mozambique on Friday, fears rose that the death toll could soar as bodies are revealed. The number of deaths could be beyond the 1,000 predicted by the country’s president earlier this week, said Elhadj As Sy, the secretary-general of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies In addition to worries about the number of dead, As Sy told the Associated Press that the humanitarian needs are great. “They are nowhere near the scale and magnitude of the problem,” As Sy said. “And I fear we will be seeing more in the weeks and months ahead, and we should brace ourselves.” Thousands of people were making a grim voyage toward the city of Beira, which although 90 percent destroyed has become a center for frantic rescue efforts throughout the region. Some walked along roads carved away by the raging waters a week ago. Others, hundreds of them, were ferried in an extraordinary makeshift effort by local fishermen who plucked stranded people from small islands. Helicopters set off into the rain for another day of efforts to find people clinging to

rooftops and trees. For those who reach Beira with their few remaining possessions, life is grim. Waterborne diseases are a growing concern as water and sanitation systems were largely destroyed. “The situation is simply horrendous, there is no other way to describe it,” As Sy said after touring transit camps for the growing number of displaced. “Three thousand people who are living in a school that has 15 classrooms and six, only six, toilets. You can imagine how much we are sitting on a water and sanitation ticking bomb.” What moved him the most was the number of children without their parents, separated in the chaos or newly orphaned. “Yesterday (we) did a reconnaissance and we found another (inland) lake. So we are still very early in the phase of identifying what the scope of this is, for who is affected and how many are lost,” Emma Batey, coordinator for the consortium of Oxfam, CARE and Save the Children, told the AP. Luckily, the area is a national park and less densely populated, she said. Still, “there were devastatingly small amounts of people.” She estimated that another 100 people would be airlifted out on Friday: “We’re only picking up those in absolute dire need.” No one is still clinging to roofs and trees, she said.

BRUSSELS — Isolated at home and abroad, British Prime Minister Theresa May will be laboring against the odds once again to win backers in Parliament for her unloved Brexit deal, this time to a timetable dictated by the European Union. Almost three years after Britons voted to walk away from the EU, the bloc’s leaders seized control of the Brexit timetable from May to avert a chaotic departure at the end of this month that would be disruptive for the world’s biggest trading bloc and deeply damaging for Britain. “We are prepared for the worst but hope for the best, ” European Council President Donald Tusk said Friday. “As you know, hope dies last.” May’s mantra since Britain’s EU hip referendum in 2016 has always been about “taking back control” of U.K. affairs from the EU. But the process has seen her lose control — of the U.K. Parliament, which has twice rejected her Brexit deal, and now of Britain’s date of departure. In a move that underlined their loss of

Trump’s Golan statement draws strong regional condemnation DAMASCUS, Syria — From Syria to Turkey and beyond, President Donald Trump’s abrupt declaration that Washington will recognize Israel’s sovereignty over the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights drew strong condemnation on Friday. The Syrian government called it “irresponsible” and a threat to international peace and stability, while Iran’s foreign ministry said it plunges the region into a new crisis. The Foreign Ministry in Damascus said

confidence in May, EU leaders set two deadlines for Britain to leave the bloc of nearly half a billion people or to take an entirely new path in considering its EU future. At marathon late night talks Thursday in Theresa May Brussels, they rejected May’s request to extend the Brexit deadline from March 29 until June 30. Instead, the leaders agreed to extend the Brexit date until May 22, on the eve of EU Parliament elections, if she can persuade the British Parliament to endorse the Brexit withdrawal agreement. Failing that, May now has until April 12 to choose between leaving the bloc without a divorce deal and a radically new path, such as revoking Britain’s decision to leave, holding a new British referendum on Brexit or finding a cross-party consensus for a very different kind of Brexit. Ending a two-day summit, Tusk said there was now nothing more the EU could do to help May.

Around the world Trump’s statement confirms “the blind bias of the United States to the Zionist entity,” referring to Israel, and added that it won’t change “the fact that the Golan was and will remain Arab and Syrian.” The ministry also said Damascus is now more intent on liberating the Golan, “using every possible means.” Trump’s announcement the day before was a major shift in American policy and gives Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a political boost a month before what is expected to be a close election.

including the president’s former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, his first national security adviser, Michael Flynn, and three Russian companies. Twenty-five Russians were indicted on charges related to election interference, accused either of hacking Democratic email s during the campaign or of orchestrating a social media campaign that spread disinformation on the internet. Five Trump aides pleaded guilty and agreed to cooperate with Mueller and a sixth, longtime confidant Roger Stone, is awaiting trial on charges that he lied to Congress and engaged in witness tampering. It’s unclear what steps Mueller might take if he uncovered what he believes to be criminal wrongdoing by Trump, in light of Justice Department legal opinions that have held that sitting presidents may not be indicted. In his letter to lawmakers, Barr noted the Justice Department had not denied any request from the special counsel, something Barr would have been required to disclose to ensure there was no political inference. Trump was never interviewed in person, but submitted answers to questions in writing. The mere delivery of the confidential findings set off swift, full-throated demands from Democrats for full release of Mueller’s report and the ing evidence collected during the sweeping probe. As Mueller’s probe has wound down, Democrats have increasingly shifted their focus to their own investigations, ensuring the special counsel’s would not be the last word on the matter. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer declared it “imperative” to make the full report public, a call echoed by several Democrats vying to challenge Trump in 2020. “The American people have a right to the truth,” Schumer and Pelosi said in a t statement. Democrats also expressed concern that Trump would try to get a “sneak preview” of the findings. “The White House must not be allowed to interfere in decisions about what parts of those findings or evidence are made public,”

they said in a t statement. It was not clear whether Trump would have early access to Mueller’s findings. Spokeswoman Sarah Sanders suggested the White House would not interfere, saying “we look forward to the process taking its course.” But Trump’s personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, told The Associated Press Friday that the legal team would seek to get “an early look” before they were made public. Giuliani said it was “appropriate” for the White House to be able “to review matters of executive privilege.” He said had received no assurances from the Department of Justice on that front. He later softened his stance, saying the decision was “up to DOJ and we are confident it will be handled properly.” The White House did receive a brief headsup on the report’s arrival Friday. Barr’s chief of staff called White House Counsel Emmet Flood Friday about 20 minutes before sending the letter went to the Republican and Democratic leaders of the Senate and House Judiciary committees. The chairman of the Senate , Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, was keynote speaker Friday night at a Palm Beach County GOP dinner at Trump’s Mar-aLago resort. The president and first lady Melania Trump stopped by the dinner and made a few minutes of remarks but didn’t mention the Mueller report, according to a senior istration official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to share details of the event, which was closed to the press. Barr has said he wants to make as much public as possible, but any efforts to withhold details is sure to prompt a tussle between the Justice Department and lawmakers who may subpoena Mueller and his investigators to testify before Congress. Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., threatened a subpoena Friday. Such a move would likely be vigorously contested by the Trump istration. The conclusion of Mueller’s investigation does not remove legal peril for the president . Trump faces a separate Justice Department investigation in New York into

hush money payments during the campaign to two women who say they had sex with him years before the election. He’s also been implicated in a potential campaign finance violation by his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, who says Trump asked him to arrange the transactions. Federal prosecutors, also in New York, have been investigating foreign contributions made to the president’s inaugural committee. No matter the findings in Mueller’s report, the investigation has already illuminated Russia’s assault on the American political system, painted the Trump campaign as eager to exploit the release of hacked Democratic emails and exposed lies by Trump aides aimed at covering up their Russia-related s. The special counsel brought a sweeping indictment accusing Russian military intelligence officers of hacking Democrat Hillary Clinton’s campaign and other Democratic groups during the 2016 campaign. He charged another group of Russians with carrying out a large-scale social media disinformation campaign against the American political process that also sought to help Trump and hurt Clinton. Mueller also initiated the investigation into Michael Cohen, the president’s former lawyer, who pleaded guilty in New York to campaign finance violations arising from the hush money payments and in the Mueller probe to lying to Congress about a Moscow real estate deal. Another Trump confidant, Stone, is awaiting trial on charges that he lied about his pursuit of Russian-hacked emails ultimately released by WikiLeaks. Mueller has also been investigating whether the president tried to obstruct the investigation. Since the special counsel’s appointment in May 2017, Trump has increasingly tried to undermine the probe by calling it a “witch hunt” and repeatedly proclaiming there was “NO COLLUSION” with Russia. But one week before Mueller’s appointment, Trump fired FBI Director James Comey, later saying he was thinking of “this Russia thing” at the time.

The Environmental Protection Avency concluded that the Clean Water Act does not apply to the 1,365-acre Bayside property because the “site was converted to [dry] land long before the CWA was enacted.”

David Lewis, executive director of Save the Bay and a longtime opponent of developing the salt ponds, said the EPA’s 2016 determination was completed, but never officially issued because Cargill requested multiple delays and then EPA leadership changed when Trump was elected president.

The EPA’s 2016 determination, on the other hand, states that just 95 acres on the property, including levees and building pads, were converted to dry land before the

The site was once used to harvest commercial salt and has had different development proposal iterations over the years. The most recent proposal by developer DMB

Ventures would have created about 12,000 homes amid some wetlands restoration but was dropped in 2012 after years of controversy. Redwood City Mayor Ian Bain previously said officials and residents remain opposed to housing at the site and would rather have it restored to wetlands. DMB is beginning to engage the public about potential future uses of the site. The project has been branded “Reimagine Saltworks” and David Smith, an attorney representing DMB, said a website will launch within weeks.

PROBE Continued from page 1 The next step is up to Barr, who is charged with writing his own of Mueller’s findings and sending it to Congress. In a letter to lawmakers , he declared he was committed to transparency and speed. He said he could provide details as soon as this weekend. The White House sought to keep some distance from the report, saying it had not seen or been briefed on the document. Trump, surrounded by advisers and political ers at his resort in Florida, stayed uncharacteristically quiet on Twitter. With no details released at this point, it’s not known whether Mueller’s report answers the core questions of his investigation: Did Trump’s campaign collude with the Kremlin to sway the 2016 presidential election in favor of the celebrity businessman? Also, did Trump take steps later, including by firing his FBI director, to obstruct the probe? But the delivery of the report does mean the investigation has concluded without any public charges of a criminal conspiracy between the campaign and Russia, or of obstruction by the president. A Justice Department official confirmed that Mueller was not recommending any further indictments. That person, who described the document as “comprehensive,” was not authorized to discuss the probe and asked for anonymity. That’s good news for a handful of Trump associates and family dogged by speculation of possible wrongdoing. They include Donald Trump Jr., who had a role in arranging a Trump Tower meeting at the height of the 2016 election campaign with a Kremlin-linked lawyer, and Trump’s sonin-law, Jared Kushner, who was interviewed at least twice by Mueller’s prosecutors. It wasn’t immediately clear whether Mueller might have referred additional investigations to the Justice Department. All told, Mueller charged 34 people,

Scots’ success marks changing of guard in PAL boys’ volleyball By Terry Bernal DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The top tier is taking shape in the Peninsula Athletic League boys’ volleyball standings. And while much hinges on next Wednesday’s showdown between Carlmont and Hillsdale to close the first half of league play, one thing is for certain: 2019 will mark a changing of the guard atop the PAL. Since the PAL ed the Central Coast Section in 2016, the class of the league has been Menlo-Atherton, with the Bears earn-

ing the lone bid to the CCS playoffs in each of the last three years. With M-A in the middle of the pack in the 10-team league, though, that streak will come to an end this season. Carlmont is one win away from running the table through the first turn of league play. The first-place Scots are 8-0 in the PAL with one key matchup at Hillsdale set for Wednesday, March 27. Second-place Hillsdale is currently sitting at 7-1.  “We’re trying to keep it low key at this point,” Carlmont head coach Michael Lapuz

said. “I know there is a lot of excitement as far as wanting to get there … but we don’t want to get ahead of ourselves just yet.” There will be a telltale presage the day prior to the pivotal Carlmont-Hillsdale showdown. Hillsdale is slated for a nonleague matchup at Sacred Heart Prep Tuesday, March 26. With the Scots currently cruising through PAL play —  having swept each of their eight league wins —  the two challenges they have faced have come in non-league losses, including a five-set battle with

Sacred Heart Prep. Carlmont’s loss 25-16, 23-25, 21-25, 25-21, 15-11 to SHP saw the Scots let an 11-9 lead in the fifth set slip away. SHP went on a service run to swing in front, a cause of a Carlmont ing letdown, Lapuz said.   “I don’t believe we were fully prepared mentally,” Lapuz said. But the growth of the Carlmont boys’  volleyball program shows great promise not only for this season but for the

Big day of track Saturday

Izzo’s act was an embarrassment

By Nathan Mollat

f this was Tom Izzo’s One Shining Moment, it was downright embarrassing. Of course, the Michigan State coach felt no shame. Like so many of his brethren, he considers it well within his coaching rights to berate a young man in front of the whole world. He’s got plenty of apologists, too. Izzo’s former players sprang to his defense (which sounds a bit like a hoops version of Stockholm Syndrome). Georgia coach Tom Crean, who was on the Michigan State staff two decades ago, said he actually misses those glorious days when Izzo chewed him out. And, of course, others turned to that well-worn gripe that any complaints about Izzo’s abrasive coaching style are merely further evidence of how soft we’ve gotten as a country. “Tom Izzo makes everyone around him able and responsible, ” Crean wrote Friday on Twitter. “I’ve been gone 20 years from his staff and there is many a day I wish he’d tell and yell at me again. It always made me better.” What a crock. While there’s certainly room in college sports for some hard-nosed coaching, there’s no excuse for what Izzo did in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament. With the No. 2-seeded Spartans locked in a surprisingly tight game with No. 15 seed Bradley, Izzo suddenly went after freshman Aaron Henry during a timeout early in the second half. The 64-year-old coach stormed onto the court with veins bulging and his right fist balled up. He screamed at the youngster and pointed a finger right in his face. Henry threw up his arms, as if he didn’t quite know what was going on. Junior guard Cassius Winston tried to be the adult

There is a track and field smorgasbord Saturday on the Peninsula as two big-name meets will be contested. Serra hosts the annual Top 7, while up the hill, College of San Mateo hosts the just as iconic Bob Rush State Meet Preview. The Serra meet will feature some of the best athletes from the Central Coast Section and from around the greater Bay Area, while the Bob Rush will draw athletes from throughout the state to get a preview of the site of this year’s community college state meet. “It’s been nice,” said Jim Marheineke, head track and field coach at Serra, who will be producing the Top 7 for the 19th year. “The meet has turned into what it is because of the loyalty of the teams (participating). … Because of them, that’s why the meet keeps going.” Marheineke said the Top 7, which is in its 33rd year, was initially known as the County Top 7, comprised of teams from schools around San Mateo County. But as some of the county public schools took the Top 7 off their schedule, Marheineke opened it up to all high school teams. Marheineke said this year 40 teams with “right around” 1,000 athletes will descend on Serra Saturday. Varsity events begin at 9 a.m. and run until about 2 p.m., followed by the junior varsity meet. “One of the things I’m most proud of is, my frosh-soph guys are here at 8 a.m., helping set up and then they compete, ” Marheineke said. “Then, the varsity guys compete and then stick around and work (the meet) after that.” Serra used to host the Top 7 throwers’ meet this weekend, while the actual Top 7 track meet was later in the season. A change in the California Interscholastic Federation sports calendar has affected the meet, however. Marheineke had to postpone the throwers meet and move the full track meet back a few weeks. So, what was once one of the final big prep meets of the season, has now moved into the middle of the season. As such, not all the big guns will be in attendance.T“Now that we’ve moved this

Stanford faces familiar NCAA opponent in UC Davis By Janie McCauley THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

STANFORD — Ten months ago, Hall of Fame coach Tara VanDerveer called once more upon her counterpart at UC Davis for some offensive guidance. Davis coach Jennifer Gross and her top assistant and husband, Joe Teramoto, visited campus a third time to work with VanDerveer and the Cardinal on the Princeton system. In appreciation, VanDerveer treated them both to an

On Saturday, No. 2 seed Stanford (28-4) takes on the Big West champion and 15th-seeded Aggies (25-6) in the NCAA Tara VanDerveer Tournament. The other first-round matchup at Maples Pavilion in the Chicago Regional features West Coast Conference champion

BYU (25-6), a seventh seed, against No. 10 Auburn (22-9) with the programs playing for the first time. The two winners meet Monday. Stanford beat Auburn for the 1990 NCAA title. When Stanford faced UC Davis in November, a 71-43 Stanford victory in both teams’ season opener, VanDerveer said it felt like facing her sister given all that Gross did to assist. “It kind of reminded me a little bit of oldschool basketball . . . coaches worked

together to get great teams,” VanDerveer said Friday. “She’s a real special coach. But having said that, we have our work cut out for us because we’re running a lot of the same stuff.” The Cardinal are coming off an impressive Pac-12 tournament run in which they beat Oregon to avenge a loss in the tournament title game a year ago and also rebound against the Ducks, who won 88-48 last month to snap a 29-game losing streak on

They also made no secret of their desire to sign him to a long-term deal. Now, the Cardinals and the 31-year-old Goldschmidt are nearing Paul completion of a $130 milGoldschmidt lion, five-year agreement through the 2024 season that would make him the highest paid player in club history, a person familiar with the told The Associated Press on Friday. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because Goldschmidt still must a physical, which is mostly a formality. It is expected to take place later Friday, with an announcement likely Saturday. The Athletic was first to report that a deal was imminent. “Goldschmidt has that residual value that is measurable and maybe not measurable,”

Cardinals manager Mike Shildt said. “His impact on other guys in the clubhouse. Obviously, he’s a good player on the field. He’s an established guy in the league. We know what we can count on with him. Goldschmidt is due $15.5 million this season, while his new agreement trumps a $120 million, seven-year deal that the Cardinals gave outfielder Matt Holiday in 2010. It also follows huge free-agent deals given to Bryce Harper by the Phillies and Manny Machado by the Padres, and the 12-year, $426.5 million contract that the Angels gave to Mike Trout on Wednesday. Cardinals president John Mozeliak acknowledged to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that “we are working toward something,” but officials otherwise declined to comment on Goldschmidt’s contract. Goldschmidt has been an All-Star each of the past six seasons, and he rebounded from a slow start with the Diamondbacks last year to hit .290 with 33 homers and 83 RBIs. It was his fourth year with at least 33 homers, and he has a career .297 batting average and four Silver Slugger awards. He also plays so solidly at first base, winning three Gold Gloves, that three-time AllStar Matt Carpenter agreed to move to third base full-time to clear the way for him.

MLB briefs A’s first baseman Olson has surgery on right hand OAKLAND — Athletics first baseman Matt Olson underwent surgery on his right hand Friday after getting injured on a foul tip in his final at-bat during Thursday’s 5-4, 12-inning loss to the Mariners in Tokyo. Olson’s procedure was performed by Dr. Steven Shin at the Kerlan-Jobe Clinic in Los Angeles. The team said the operation involved a right hamate excision. No timeline for his recovery Matt Olson was provided. The Gold Glove first baseman played all 162 games last season as the A’s returned to the playoffs for the first time since 2014. Olson hit 29 homers and drove in 85 runs

last year in his first full major league season.

Yankees use prototype treated balls in batting practice TAMPA, Fla. — New York Yankees’ hitters involved in testing a ball that has undergone a factory rubbing at a factory have issues with the prototype’s color. The objective of the tests, conducted during spring training, is to develop a ball that eliminates the need for the umpires’ room attendants to apply Delaware River mud mixed with water on about eight dozen new balls before each game. The goal is to improve the consistency of balls’ performance. Major League Baseball is taking from players and coaches, which will be incorporated into a later version. The commissioner’s office has not yet considered whether the prototype could be tested in minor league or instructional games.

Defending champ Casey leads Valspar at halfway point THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PALM HARBOR, Fla. — Paul Casey drove into Innisbrook and saw his picture on posters and programs, just what he needed to forget the cut he missed last week. He played Friday as though he wants those photos to stay there. Casey holed a 30-foot eagle putt on the 599-yard fifth hole and made short birdie putts on the other three par 5s on his way to a 5-

VOLLEYBALL Continued from page 13 years to come. The Scots have 18 players on their varsity roster, including seven sophomores, with the program having plenty left over to field a 16-player junior-varsity roster. Carlmont is one of just four PAL programs with a JV roster, along with M-A, Mills and San Mateo. Carlmont has just one four-year varsity player in the program, 6-3 outside hitter Maxwell Jung. The senior personifies the Scots in the sense that the team —  like every team in the PAL —  consists of a majority of players with no organized volleyball experience prior to high school. “We’ve been developing the program for the last three years from players who haven’t had any experience,” Lapuz said.

T&F Continued from page 13 the top four throwers in both disciplines are expected to compete. Terra Nova’s Carly Watts, the defending CCS discus and shot put champion, is the CCS leader in both events in 2019. She’s already eclipsed her best shot put from last season, setting a personal record off 44-2 at the K-Bell Track and Field Classic March 9. Her best effort of 2018 was 43-6.5 in the state meet preliminaries. Expected to Watts in the shot put is Notre Dame-Belmont’s Krissie Smoot, who is ranked second in CCS. A pair of sisters from Mills follow, Nane and Mele Ikahihifo, who are ranked No. 3 and No. 4, respectively. Mele Ikahihifo set a new PR with a throw of 40-2 during a dual meet with Aragon last week. Watts has also already set a PR in the discus this season as well, with a throw of 1467 at the St. Francis Invitational last week-

under 66, giving him a share of the lead with Austin Cook in the Valspar Championship. No one has ever won back-to-back at the Valspar Championship since it became a PGA Tour event in 2000. “I’ve never defended a professional event. I would love to do that,” Casey said. “Mentally last year I was hoping I would win, wanting to win. This year, knowing that I have won around here, I have a slightly different approach to it, and I played today quite aggres-

sively and tried to take advantage of the golf course that I knew was going to get very, very tough this afternoon.” Casey and Cook, who shot a 67, were at 6under 136. Luke Donald holed a bunker shot for birdie on the par-5 fifth to briefly take the lead, only to miss a 4-foot par putt on the next hole and drop another shot on the par-3 eighth. He shot 70 and was one behind, along with Scott Stallings (68) and Sungjae Im (67).

Dustin Johnson overcame a rough patch early in his round with five birdies on the front nine to salvage a 69. Johnson, the No. 1 player in the world, was two shots behind on a Copperhead course he hasn’t seen in nine years. Also at 4-under 138 was Curtis Luck, the former U.S. Amateur champion and last man in the field when Kevin Na withdrew 30 minutes before his tee time. Luck had never seen Innisbrook until his opening tee shot.

Jung only ed the Scots as a freshman to play with his older brother, Jason, a 2017 graduate of Carlmont. Lapuz had just 10 players in the entire program that season. Jung has been an inspirational leader throughout his career, Maxwell Jung including a pivotal sophomore year. What is interesting about his contribution in 2017 was he didn’t play a match due to an elbow injury. Still, Jung attended every practice and match, according to Lapuz. Playing opposite in the rotation to Jung at outside hitter is 6-2 junior Ethan Mayoss. Mayoss caught the volleyball fever the same year as Jung’s injury. Originally a two-sport athlete who played soccer his freshman year, Mayoss gave up soccer as a sophomore to dedicate himself to the court

year-round. Now, he’s Carlmont’s leading scorer. The junior has also earned a co-captaincy this season. “He’s more athletic in of volleyball wise, he actually does communicate well with me as far players to Ethan Mayoss as coach, ”  Lapuz said. “… He’s been a pretty good leader on the court for me.” Six-foot sophomore Dominique Veinstein and 5-11 junior Kyle Lau, both opposite hitters, have also been cornerstones of the Scots’  success, especially on defense, according to Lapuz. The trick now for Carlmont is in getting quality games. The Scots don’t have any tournaments on their schedule this season. Lapuz said he has reached out to several programs holding tournaments but has gotten

little response.

end. Mele Ikahihifo has also PR’d in the discus as well, with a throw of 111-5, also against Aragon. Look for Menlo-Atherton Jessica Eagle to try and maintain her top-ranked status in the 100 and 200, while Megan Ronan, a Burlingame resident and sophomore at St. Ignatius, is a jack-of-all trades, but is signed up in the long jump. She’s already gone over the 17-foot mark after winning the 2018 CCS long jump title with a leap of 19-3.

top-caliber throwers. Freshman Elijah Folau, a former Serra standout who won the 2018 CCS shot put title and finished second in the discus, leads the state in the shot put with a throw of 49-5. He’ll be ed by teammates Taina Livai and Teme Fanguna. Livai, who starred at Mills, is third in the state in the javelin with a throw of 115-3. She is No. 10 in the discus (121-6) and No. 15 in the shot put (36-5.75). Fanguna is No. 4 in the discus (129-6) and No. 12 in

shot (37-3.75).

Playing in the upstart PAL probably has something to do with that. With CCS boys’ volleyball dating back to 1997, the PAL only officially ed the section in 2016. M-A has been the league’s lone postseason qualifier. And while the Bears have won their first-round playoff match in each of the last two years, even a 28-0 regularseason record last year was only enough to earn M-A a No. 3 seed in the Division I bracket. “I think because of the way, at least with the competition in our league, it was a lot less than I expected in of the competitiveness,”  Lapuz said.  “I knew the only competition we would have gotten were with the [non-league] games with Sacred Heart Prep and with Serra. … We just really try to keep it competitive, try to keep the vibe going within the squad.”

On the track, Sophie Liao will make her home debut for CSM. Liao, an exchange student from Taiwan living in Foster City, is leading the state in the 100. Last Saturday she went under the 12-second mark, posting a state-leading 11.92 at the Sacramento State Hornet Invitational. Liao won the Taipei 100 title last year, running a 11.64.

This time, University of Virginia avoids making history THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

COLUMBIA, S.C. — No. 1 seed Virginia this time avoided the biggest upset in NCAA Tournament history. The Cavaliers rallied from 14 points down Friday to beat No. 16 seed Gardner-Webb 7156 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Virginia was the top overall seed last year but lost 74-54 to 16th seeded UMBC. It was the first — and still the only — time in 35

STANFORD Continued from page 13 Stanford’s home floor. The loss was the worst in VanDerveer’s 33 seasons at Stanford. The Aggies are riding a 16-game winning streak into their second NCAA berth, rallying from a 17-point deficit to beat Hawaii for the Big West tournament crown. In 2011, they were a 16 seed and lost 8659 in the first round at Stanford in thenDavis coach Sandy Simpson’s final game before he retired. UC Davis, led by senior Morgan Bertsch at 23.5 points per game, reached the Elite Eight of the Women’s NIT last season and was determined to build on that momentum. And don’t fret if you’re seeing double: Both rosters have sets of twins. Karley and Kourtney Eaton play for Davis, while Lacie and Lexie Hull are key freshmen for the Cardinal. Last time against Stanford, the Aggies shot just 14 for 62 — 22.6 percent — and 8 of 31 from 3-point range while being outrebounded 50-25. “I specifically their coaching staff coming down and helping us implement this offense into our system and they were a really big help,” Stanford senior Shannon Coffee said. “I’m excited to see the improvements that we have made since that first game of the season and I think it’s going to be really interesting that it’s against the same team.” Auburn returns to the tournament for a third time in four years after not making it in 2018, something that pushed this group.

years one of the top four teams in the tournament has fallen in their opening game. The Cavaliers trailed 30-16 with 6:42 left in the first half of the South Region opener but rallied and cut the Runnin’ Bulldogs (2312) lead to six at halftime. Virginia (30-3) then opened the second half with a 25-5 run that ended any ideas of another 1-and-done. The Cavaliers used their trademark stifling defense to force 11 Gardner-Webb turnovers in the first 12 minutes after the break. De’Andre Hunter, who missed last year’s The Tigers reached the second round three years ago then lost to NC State in the first round in 2017. They also played a first-round NCAA game at Stanford in 2008, eliminated by George Washington. “It’s just a big deal just for our program, getting Auburn women’s basketball back on the map,” senior guard Janiah McKay said. At 13.8 points, McKay leads four Auburn players scoring in double figures in an offensive scheme that creates scoring chances from an in-your-face, swarming defense. “We’re a pressure team, probably one of few teams in the country that presses for 40 minutes,” coach Terri Williams-Flournoy said. “We like to cause disruption, make things a little harder, make teams more uncomfortable.” The Tigers have forced 21.2 turnovers per game this season and committed just 13.1 while averaging 12.2 steals. BYU pulled off an 82-68 upset of favoredbut-injury-plagued Gonzaga in the WCC tournament championship game. The Cougars are back in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2016. BYU presents a matchup challenge given its threats from 3-point range as well as 6foot-7 Sara Hamson in the middle. Handling the Auburn pressure will be a key. “There’s no way I can go out and make my team practice like Auburn in (the) press and do those things like they can, but what we have to do is get the ball in positions where we can make plays, ” BYU coach Jeff Judkins said.

NEWBERRY Continued from page 13 in the room, putting both arms on Izzo’s shoulders to gently guide him away from Henry. That wasn’t the end of it. After everyone huddled up to talk things over, Izzo began screaming at Henry again and actually lunged toward the player. This time, it was left to senior guard Matt McQuaid to be the grown-up. He pulled Izzo back into his chair and motioned for Henry to calm down, as well. Without a hint of regret, Izzo explained why he got so angry. “There were some things Aaron didn’t do a very good job of,” the coach said. “I did get after him. He did respond. He did hit a couple of big buckets. He did make some big free throws. But that’s not good enough. This is one-and-done time. ” Continuing the process of throwing his player totally under the bus, Izzo added, “If it’s ‘my bad’ because I decided to jog back instead of sprint back (on defense), then it is your bad. And you’re going to hear about it.” Izzo wasn’t done. When pressed on the issue, he essentially blamed the media for making such a big deal about a little harmless public shaming. “I get a kick out of you guys (when you) get after somebody because you’re trying to hold them able,” Izzo said. “I don’t know what kind of business you’re in, but I tell you what: If I was the head of a newspaper and you didn’t do your job, you’d be held able. That’s the way it is.” It’s one thing to be held able. It’s a whole different thing to be humiliated in public for making a mistake. Frankly, I know of no one in journalism — or any profession, for that matter — who would put up with that sort of treatment. Yes, there are times when we let our emotions get the best of us. There are times

and answer the questions that came at nearly every news conference. Jose Perez scored 19 points and made 4 of 6 from behind the arc for Gardner-Webb, which was playing in its first NCAA Tournament. David Efianayi added 12 points. The Cavaliers face No. 9 seed Oklahoma in Sunday’s second round, which has been a land mine for Virginia too. Back in 2017, the 5th seeded Cavaliers lost 65-39 to No. 4 Florida. when we say things we shouldn’t say to those we work with or care about. But any reasonable person comes to their senses at some point, apologizes for losing their cool and tries to do better the next time. College coaches have never seen in that way. ability? That’s for everyone else. Not surprisingly, they circled the wagons around Izzo, as they do anytime someone challenges their often-sleazy profession. “He’s tough on them. He should be tough on them,” said Minnesota coach Richard Pitino, whose team will play Izzo’s Spartans in the second round Saturday. “I know his players love playing for him.” From Adolph Rupp to Bobby Knight to guys like Izzo, coaches have always felt perfectly comfortable treating their players like trash, all under the tough-love guise that it will make them better in life. Many players are conditioned to accept that sort of treatment, and even look back on it fondly when their school days are over. “That’s the territory for playing Michigan State basketball,” Spartans forward Xavier Tillman said Friday. “If you make a mistake, you’re going to get chewed out about it. That’s nothing new. Everybody knows that. All the freshmen know that. If you make a mistake, you’re going to get coached. That’s what they’re here for. You’re going to learn from your mistakes. “Our best thing to handle that is we respond on the court. Aaron had the key bucket and he made those two free throws. A lot of people don’t realize when coach challenges us, it’s not like he wants us to fail or he wants to get under our skin. He wants us to succeed.” Sorry, coach. That’s not the way to do it.

Peterson brothers aim to make case for title shots By Ian Quillen THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OXON HILL, Md. — Fighting after an ugly loss and a long layoff, on the same TV card as his younger brother and with chatter about retirement growing louder, 35-year-old Lamont Peterson insists he’s as relaxed as he’s ever been. Or he’s tricked himself into believing that. “It might be me just keeping the pressure off m y s e l f , ” Peterson (35-4Lamont 1) said Friday Peterson ahead of Sunday’s 12round welterweight bout against Sergey Lipinets (14-10) at the MGM Na t i o n a l Harbor. “You’re going perform better that Anthony way.” Peterson Peterson will face Lipinets immediately after his brother Anthony’s junior welterweight co-feature against Argenis Mendez (25-5-1) near their native Washington, with each trying to make a case for a title shot. It’s the first time they will appear on TV together since 2006, though Lamont insists he’s more likely to be distracted by his nephew, welterweight Patrick Harris Jr., on the undercard than his 34-year-old brother. “That’s going to be the part where it’s going to go like before, back in the day, where I’m a little nervous, ” he said. “He’s still younger and I care a lot about him.”

Lamont has previously held belts at 140 and 147 pounds. In 2017, he vacated his WBA welterweight strip to fight for Errol Spence’s IBF belt, but was dominated in that January 2018 bout. His corner threw in the towel moments into Round 8. This is first action since, against an opponent who held the 140-pound IBF belt for one fight before losing it to Mikey Garcia. Lipinets is in his second bout since moving up to 147. “I respect him for taking the fight,” Lamont said. “A lot of guys who have lost and had a rough year would want to take it easy and take an easy fight. But it’s our obligation to fight the tough guys. I shouldn’t get kudos for that. It’s just my job.” Anthony has never had a title shot, having only fought seven times since 2011. He appeared to defeat Luis Eduardo Florez by unanimous decision in January 2018, but the result was changed to a no contest following a positive drug test. The younger Peterson brother appeared to own up to those test results Friday. “It’s one thing that happened in my career that I would like to leave in the past,” Anthony said. “But if you look at all of my fights, that never happened before. ... I was kind of in a dark cloud. It happened. I wasn’t trying to get over or cheat or nothing that, but it was something that just happened.” Anthony hopes a win over Mendez, a former junior lightweight champion, would clear the way for a title bout. “Nothing is guaranteed, ” he said. “I know I’m going to win, spectacular performance. But even after this fight you never know what can happen. So I’m not expecting anything.”

Now 30, ‘The Little Mermaid’ paved the way for Elsa, Anna Mark Kennedy THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — It’s not uncommon for people to just look at Jodi Benson and burst into tears. Sometimes they hyperventi-

late or scream. But mostly they break down and start sobbing. Benson will hold them, heaving in her arms, and pat their back gently. Benson isn’t a household name but for many she’s an intimate part of their child-

hood. She supplied the singing and speaking voice of Ariel, the heroine of the 1989 animated Disney hit “The Little Mermaid,” which is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. Benson says she will some-

times watch as the stunned movie’s fans virtually go back in time in front of her. “It triggers a memory for them,” she says. “They who they were with when they saw the See 30TH, Page 22

WHAT’S THAT AROMA? LAVENDER INFUSED YOGA PANTS OR CORPORATE GREED? “YOGA PLAY” AT SAN FRANCISCO PLAYHOUSE TAKES A SHARP AND VERY FUNNY LOOK AT HOW DOWNWARD-FACING EXECUTIVES CAN GO EVEN LOWER. At the top of its game, (now that the transparent pants-fabric debacle is behind it), yoga apparel giant Jojomon is hit with a scandal that threatens its very existence. Determined to get control of the situation, without alerting the company’s space cadet founder, CEO Joan stakes everything on a wildly unlikely plan that soon reels out of control. “Yoga Play” makes its comedic journey through minefields of cultural appropriation in a world in which, once you successfully fake authenticity, you have it made. By Dipika Guha. Directed by Bill English. Two hours with one intermission. Through April 20. AN ASIDE: San Francisco Playhouse Artistic Director Bill English said: “Humans are never the villains in a play by Ms. Guha. …The characters may come into the world of the play burdened by false beliefs, but we can feel their spirits bucking and heaving under the load and determined to break out to breath and freedom. … While we are rooting for them, and laughing as we recognize their foibles in ourselves, we also, thanks to our objective distance, can see how foolish some of our own ideas about happiness are.” OH, AND DID YOU KNOW? Playwright Dipika Guha has written for “American Gods,” “Paradise Lost” and “Sneaky Pete” and is currently writing for “Rainy Day People” (AMC). TICKETS AND S TAGE DIRECTIONS: For tickets (from $35-$125) or information call (415) 677-9596 or visit www. sfplayhouse. org. Performances are

San Francisco Playhouse, producing new works and reimagined classics in a setting where seats are close to the action, is an intimate alternative to larger, more traditional theater fare.

DJ Khaled inspired by son before hosting Kids’ Choice Awards By Jonathan Landrum Jr. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES — In the run-up to the Kids’ Choice Awards, host DJ Khaled is feeling plenty of — from his son. The producer-DJ said his 2-year-old son, Asahd, gets excited just watching his dad in the ads promoting the show on Nickelodeon. “When the commercials come on, my son is like ‘Daddy, daddy, daddy!’ Because, you know, he watches Nickelodeon. So do I,” he said in an interview Thursday.

“It’s like, the commercial comes on every second, ” he continued. “And I’m like, man, they’ve got me looking good out here. My son, to see him smile and say ‘Daddy! Daddy!’ — it really touched me.” Khaled will host the DJ Khaled family-friendly, slimefilled awards show in Los Angeles on Saturday. He promises the show will have “a whole lot of superstars in the building.”

Some restrictions apply. Coupon must be presented at time of sale. Expires March 31st, 2019.

Rap trio Migos are expected to perform and DJ Mustard will hit the stage. Ariana Grande, Adam Sandler and Chris Pratt are some of stars expected to make an appearance. Khaled called hosting the Kids’ Choice show a “big accomplishment” for his career. Viewers may find less Khaled than usual. The producer-DJ said he’s on a weight loss journey, trimming down nearly 50 pounds. He said the birth of his son compelled him to monitor his health and become a better man.

“It made me better, it made me greater,” he said. “The way I eat, the way I talk, the way I move, the way I think, the way I make music, the more patience I have, the more understanding what real love is, what real friendship is, and what my purpose is.” Khaled’s son, who appears relaxing in a swimming pool on the cover of dad’s 2017 album “Grateful,” is also the inspiration behind his 11th studio album “Father of Asahd,” which will be released May 17. Khaled said his new album will reflect how much becoming a dad has changed him.

Trio of child-sex documentaries puts a spotlight on parents By Leanne Italie THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — The mothers of the two accs in HBO’s “Leaving Neverland” said they were lulled by Michael Jackson’s forlorn demeanor and fairytale world when they allowed him to take their boys into his bed. An aunt who introduced her underage niece to R. Kelly and suspects abuse said in the six-part “Surviving R. Kelly” docies on Lifetime that she hoped he would propel the teen’s music career. She alleges the girl wound up on a sex tape instead. The parents of a 12-year-old girl kidnapped twice and abused over several years by a trusted neighbor in Idaho called themselves “naive” in the Netflix documentary on the bizarre 1970s ordeal, “Abducted in Plain Sight.” The trio of high-profile cases, the latest in a long line of media fare focused on child abuse, have generated intense scrutiny of the people who should matter most to kids: their parents. For those in these sad and painful documentaries, and understanding have been abundant among strangers, abuse survivors and advocates fighting sexual violence. However, some viewers and commenters online, likely many who know nothing of how sexual abs groom their victims, can’t fathom how any parent could allow a child to be placed in the intensely vulnerable situations depicted. There were missed red flags. Mistakes made. There were professional ambitions to be pursued, murky monetary payments and plenty of perks. And there was lots of regret once their children disclosed. Experts, abuse survivors and their ers said that when young victims are groomed by perpetrators so, too, are their parents in a vast majority of cases that don’t include such crimes committed by parents themselves. “The basic facts are that somebody who’s

Kelly leaves the Cook County courthouse after a hearing on multiple counts of criminal sexual abuse. intent on sexually abusing a child does actually groom both a child and a caregiver,” said Esther Deblinger-Sosland, who has written two books on the subject and is a psychology professor and co-director of the Child Abuse Research Education Service Institute at Rowan University in Glassboro, New Jersey. “They’re looking for situations and families that they can exploit. Any child can be sexually abused. That has to be put out there. It really could happen to any child. But when an offender is really looking to target a child, they do look for a child that might be more vulnerable, from a family that they think they might be able to manipulate in some way,” she said. Parents may be coping with stresses and adversities that distract them, Deblinger-

Sosland explained, but at the same time, “most people don’t assume anyone who talks articulately, who appears to be friendly and caring, is a sex offender.” Child sex offenders, she said, are often viewed by society as the “most heinous criminals,” she said. “If you have that image of a sex offender then it’s unlikely, whoever you are, to just look at someone and assume that they’re going to sexually abuse your child. And that’s what’s so difficult.” Jackson, who died in 2009, was found not guilty in a 2005 trial of 14 charges alleging he had molested a boy, at times in the presence of the boy’s brother. While acknowledging that he befriended numerous children, including some he invited into his bed, he denied molesting any. His two

t

t

accs in “Leaving Neverland” allege that they were 7 and 10 when the abuse began. Now in their 30s, they appear in the docies with their mothers. Loyal Jackson relatives and fans object to the one-sided nature of the unsparing twopart film, which aired March 3-4 and is HBO’s third most-watched documentary of the past decade. The R. Kelly series aired over three nights in January. By late February, he had turned himself in on 10 counts of aggravated sexual abuse involving four victims, including at least three between the ages of 13 and 17. He denies the charges. A jury in 2008 acquitted Kelly of 14 counts of child pornography after concluding they couldn’t a female in a sex video with the singer was underage. Two women currently live with Kelly in Chicago and have said they are his girlfriends, including 21-year-old Azriel Clary. Both also have said in interviews they are willingly by his side, but their parents remain unconvinced. “I feel like I failed my daughter because I should have saw different signs,” Clary’s father, Angelo Clary, told Gayle King on “CBS This Morning.” He added: “I should have saw the change in my baby girl instead of the love that we instilled in her, that she was showing us and putting on a charade. So, guess what? We can take responsibility. But to the world, how much responsibility did R. Kelly take?” As for Jan Broberg Felt, the now 56-yearold survivor who appears with her parents in “Abducted in Plain Sight,” the neighbor who sexually abused her died in an apparent suicide decades later. During her teen years, he slowly drew both of her small-town, churchgoing parents into situations he knew they would be ashamed to reveal, including having sex with the mother and convincing the father to perform a sex act on him.

It reminds them of a relationship that had been broken with a parent. So they have all sorts of emotions that go on.” “The Little Mermaid “ has changed a lot of lives, not least of which is Benson’s, who has continued to perform Ariel virtually every weekend in concerts as well as on film in the “Wreck-It Ralph” franchise. “The Little Mermaid” also had a big role in making Disney into an animation juggernaut and reviving the art form. Many believe we’d never have Anna and Elsa from “Frozen” without first having Ariel. “Disney was starting to get into a groove that would continue, but I feel like a lot of that started with ‘A Little Mermaid,’” says Ron Clements, who cowrote and co-directed the film. Benson was a rising Broadway star when Ariel came into her orbit.

WEEKEND JOURNAL Andersen’s “The Little Mermaid. ” Producers wanted the singing and speaking voice to be supplied by the same actress. So Benson, a lyric soprano, sang the signature “Part of Your World” on a reel-to-reel tape and was handed a few of pages of dialogue. “I ran into the ladies’ room,” she recalls “and waited for everybody to get out of the stalls and started talking to the mirror, sort of trying to come up with what would she sound like at 16.” Benson, it turned out, was a master mimic. She had spent countless hours in her room as a child with her guitar, singing along to records by Barbra Streisand, Carole King, James Taylor as well as Marvin Hamlisch’s “A Chorus Line.” “I would start to just sing like them. But it wasn’t like I was trying to be them. It’s just that’s what I heard. And so that’s just what you do. You just sound like what you been listening to,” she says. A year or so after auditioning for Ariel, she got the call that she’d won the role. “I completely forgot that I had auditioned,” she says. Back then, voiceover work wasn’t very glamorous and big celebrities wouldn’t consider it. “It wasn’t a good job. Doing voiceovers was what you would do when your career was on the back half, when it was tank-

ing, ” says Benson. She thought Ariel would be just another notch on her resume. It was not. “Things just changed overnight,” she says. Propelled by such Alan Menken songs as “Under the Sea” and “Kiss the Girl,” the film won two Grammys and earned three Academy Award nominations. It was critically acclaimed, with Roger Ebert calling it a “jolly and inventive animated fantasy,” and would go to earn $211 million worldwide. Parents of children with learning disabilities have told Benson their child’s first words were from the film. A live-action remake is in the works, featuring new songs by Lin-Manuel Miranda, who created “Hamilton. ” He loved the 1989 animated film so much its partly the reason he named his first child Sebastian — the mermaid’s crab friend. It was the kind of hit that Clements and his animators at Disney had long been hoping for. He had started at Disney in 1974 and was part of a new generation of artists trying to change the notion that animation was just for kids. Clements had pitched a two-page treatment of the musical to then-studio head Michael Eisner and was given the green l i g h t . Fo r Cl emen t s an d h i s p art n er, John Musker, the stakes were high: It was the first fairy tale Disney had done

THE DAILY JOURNAL for some three decades. “There was a feeling — all through ‘Little Mermaid’ — that this film had potential to be the film that could break through and work the way we were all hungry for and hoping for,” recalls Clements, who went on to co-direct “Aladdin” and “Hercules.” “It was really, really gratifying that it did break through. It broke through the stigma that animated films were just for kids. It became a date movie. People started taking Disney animation seriously again.” Over the past 30 years, Ariel has become the bridge between classic princesses like Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty and modern ones like Mulan and Merida. And Benson has become the official Ariel ambassador, tapped to do sequels, video games and shorts, in addition to voicing other characters like Barbie in the “Toy Story” franchise. Her arms are always open to fans and she’s now welcoming the fourth generation to “The Little Mermaid.” So feel free to cry on her shoulder. “It doesn’t feel like a job. It just feels like a way of life more than more than anything else, ” she says. “You have this multigenerational moment that families can share together. And I get to be a small piece of the puzzle of their story.”

SHIPS Continued from page 1 were both constructed in the late 1980s — the former was built in Washington to commemorate that state’s centennial and the latter was commissioned by a descendant of a railroad magnate, who lived in Maui and used the ship as his private yacht. The wooden-hulled Lady Washington has appeared in numerous TV programs and movies, including the first “Pirates of the Caribbean” film. It’s an almost exact replica of the first American ship to make landfall on the West Coast of North America in 1788 and the Hawaiian Chieftain’s design is based on packet ships used to ferry cargo in the mid-1800s. Owned and operated by Washingtonbased nonprofit Grays Harbor Historical Seaport, both ships visit more than 30 West Coast communities each year. Over the next two-plus weeks, schools can reserve educational field trips aboard the ships on weekdays and during weekends, the vessels will be open to the public for free tours — a $5 donation is suggested — as well as ticketed voyages, including mock battles and sunset excursions. “We have great in the San Francisco Bay Area.

for the Grays Harbor Historical Seaport. “We want people to learn about the maritime heritage of the U.S., how people were able to move across huge expanses without any visible landmarks, using just instruments, knowledge and expertise, and we carry on those traditions to appreciate the talents and extraordinary knowledge of the people who came before us. And have fun.” The original Lady Washington was used in the fur trade and ultimately sunk in 1797 in a storm near the Philippines. At the time, the ship was manned by about 40 sailors, while the replica today has a crew of about a dozen. One of those sailors is third mate Erich von Hasseln, who has sailed on numerous replicas of historic vessels over the years and does it for a living full time. “Once you fall into the world it’s a very niche industry, everyone knows everyone and you make connections and a lot of sailors go boat to boat,” he said. “We’re all in kind of the same family.” The crew lives aboard the ships for months at a time as they tour from port to port — there are bunk beds below deck and a cook staffs each ship. When they’re not educating students, taking visitors on tours or enjoying a day off, crew adhere to a rigid maintenance schedule, said Emmorey Leonard, a sailor aboard the Hawaiian Chieftain. “We clean the boat top to bottom every morning, ” she said. “You’re always learning on the tall ships. I’ve

learned a lot about how to maintain boats, how to do the knot and rope work involved in the rigging and that’s something you can only learn by doing. It’s a cool environment and you meet a lot of fun people.” Crew begin as volunteers and can eventually land paid jobs aboard the ships. And they come from all over the world. Erika Mcdowell traveled from to Lady Washington’s crew. “I spend most of the year on boats,” she said. “I really like not doing the same thing every day and meeting a lot of new people.” Her crewmate, Cafferty Frattarelli, enjoys life aboard tall ships for similar reasons. “I was working a desk job before this for a year and was like ‘this is boring,” she said. “[Sailing on tall ships] is not boring. It’s a lot of fun.” Both ships rely on engines when they travel between ports, but on tours, the boats are powered the oldfashioned way: by wind. The Hawaiian Chieftain, for example, features 14 sails and on tours, one can watch the crew climb up and down the masts to unfurl them. “[Our tours] are a great way to get the family on the water and see the city from the water, which people don’t often get to do,” Stocks said. “People will get to understand how this area was first charted by mariners and see a similar view.”

vious county press release. Having started negotiations in July, the entire 1,700-member union was previously at an ime with county officials over a previously-proposed three-year contract, which union didn’t feel kept pace with the region’s rising cost of living. Workers have also expressed frustration with their current retiree health package, which some have said puts pressure on employees to bank their sick time so they have post-retirement health care and causes them to lose their sick leave if they don’t retire with the county. The county and the union’s 10 bargaining units also agreed in February to form a labor-management committee to review the county’s existing retiree health benefits and recommend possible modifications. The salary and other changes are expected to increase the county’s costs by approximately $32.6 million over

the three-year term, according to a staff report. Increases in the county’s required payments to the San Mateo County Employees’ Retirement Association, or SamCERA, will be reflected in the actuarial assumptions in the association’s 2020 triennial study, which will be used to calculate the contribution rates for the 2021 fiscal year, according to the report. The present value of future actuarial losses expected to accompany the changes is estimated at $12 million, according to a letter from SamCERA’s actuary Milliman. The letter estimated the total impact of the changes for the entire AFSCME hip is $24 million, which will materialize over the years as the salary increases occur.

US forces say two American soldiers killed in Afghanistan By Amir Shah THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

REUTERS

A man stands near the debris at one of the explosion sites in Kabul, Afghanistan.

KABUL, Afghanistan — Two American service were killed during an operation in Afghanistan on Friday, the U.S. and NATO forces said, providing no other details on the combat deaths. The fatalities, which bring to four the number of U.S. soldiers killed so far this year in Afghanistan, underscore the difficulties in bringing peace to the war-wrecked country even as Washington has stepped up efforts to find a way to end the 17-year war, America’s longest. The U.S. and NATO Resolute mission said the names of the service killed in action were being withheld until after notification of the next of kin, in accordance with U. S. Department of Defense policy. The statement also did not specify the location of the combat or say who the soldiers were fighting.

“The incident is under investigation and we have no additional information to provide,” said Sgt. 1st Class Debra Richardson, a Resolute spokeswoman. A Taliban statement later in the day said insurgents engaged in heavy fighting with Afghan and U.S. forces overnight in the northern city of Kunduz. Zabihullah Mujahid, the Taliban spokesman, said the fighting was still underway Friday; he claimed the insurgents had killed as many as three Americans and nine Afghan commandos. The insurgents often exaggerate their battlefield claims and it was impossible to confirm whether the fighting Mujahid was referring to was the same combat in which the two U.S. service were killed. An Afghan lawmaker from Kunduz province, Abdul Wodood Payman, said there was heavy fighting overnight in the Kunduz neighborhood of Taluka, where jet fighters roared overhead and bombings could be heard. He had no additional information.
