Both county officials and a union repre-

Trump’s speech: Less analytical, more sure than predecessors
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Leaders are speaking
far more simply and with more confidence
than they did four score and seven years
ago. Donald Trump’s speech has accelerated
that trend.
A new study says Trump talks less analyt-
ically, and more confidently, than all past
U.S. presidents.
Psychologists at the University of Texas
and Princeton University used a computer
language program to study nearly 3 million
texts going back to 1789, using speeches
by leaders in the United States, Canada,
United Kingdom and Australia, along with

Two people killed Saturday in a wrong-
way crash on state Highway 1 in Pacifica
have been identified by the San Mateo
County Coroner’s Office.
Tulio de Giovanni Lima Viana, 23, of Daly
City, and Megan Alyssa Cota, 23, of San
Francisco, were passengers in a Toyota
Prius headed south in northbound lanes of
the freeway, authorities said.
The two were killed when the Prius collid-
ed head-on with a Chevrolet Silverado on
Highway 1 near Clarendon Road, according
to the California Highway Patrol.
A man believed to be Viana’s brother was
driving the Prius, CHP officials said. He was
taken to a hospital in critical condition.
Two people in the Silverado were hospi-
talized with injuries not considered life-
threatening.

flames Sunday night on East Bayshore
Road, according to the Sheriff’s Office.

and Barack Obama.
Kayla Jordan, a psychology researcher at
the University of Texas and lead author of
the study, said the nature of leaders’ commu-
nication began to change around the time
of Woodrow Wilson, when radio and then
other mass media began to emerge and when
the voting population expanded to women,
minorities and young people.
There’s nothing wrong with being sim-
ple, she said: “You want everyone to under-
stand what you’re saying.”
The study is in Monday’s Proceedings of
the National Academy of Sciences.
Jordan said the team looked at how lead-
ers spoke, not at what they said.
Contreras and Barker ran into the burning
trailer and pulled her to safety. She was
taken to the hospital and treated for injuries
that were not life threatening. Contreras and
Barker were also taken to the hospital for
smoke inhalation and a small cut to the
hand. The woman’s dog did not survive,
according to the Sheriff’s Office.
The cause of the fire is under investiga-
tion.

As Democratic field expands, Biden waits on sidelines
By Julie Pace and Thomas Beaumont
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa — Former Vice
President Joe Biden will headline his first
public event in about three weeks on
Saturday— in Munich, Germany, nearly
5,000 miles from Iowa, site of the presi-
dential campaign’s first contest.
As he weighs whether to jump into the
race, Biden has been conspicuously absent
from early voting states, making him an
outlier among Democrats eying the White
House. Nine Democrats have announced
full-fledged campaigns, two have launched
exploratory committees, and several others
are blanketing Iowa, New Hampshire and
South Carolina as they decide whether to
launch a campaign. A half-dozen made the
rounds this past weekend alone.
In a wide-open race, Biden’s take-it-slow
approach has given other candidates a
head-start in fundraising, scooping up top
tier staff and perfecting their pitch to vot-
ers. It’s also given them a chance to chip
away at what would be a central argument of
a Biden campaign: that he is the only can-
didate who can defeat President Donald
Trump in 2020.
Biden has said he’ll only run if he doesn’t
believe Democrats have other viable
options, and he’s privately raised doubts
about the electability of some of his poten-
tial rivals, according to a person with

Biden as he and his family gathered to hear
New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker address Iowa
voters.
The former vice president initially
expected to make his decision by now. But
he blew through a self-imposed January
deadline without a campaign announce-
ment, and some longtime allies say they
simply don’t know when, or if, he’ll enter
the race.
“He’s prepared, but he’s also doing his
due diligence,” said Louisiana Rep. Cedric
Richmond, the former chairman of the
Congressional Black Caucus who has spo-
ken to Biden in the past two weeks.
But for now, he doesn’t have plans to
visit any of the early states. He heads to
Michigan on Tuesday to deliver a eulogy at
a funeral for Rep. John Dingell, the longest
serving member of Congress. On Saturday,
he’ll speak at a high-profile national secu-
rity summit in Germany.
Biden advisers say he can afford to get a
later start. After eight years as vice presi-
dent, he’s well-known to most voters and
has deep ties to Democratic activists in the
early primary states. His tight-knit group
of senior advisers is ready to swiftly stand
up a campaign operation if Biden gives
them the go-ahead.

Report: Fewer trees died Around the state Obituary

off in California in 2018 Kevin Gibson Riches

SAN FRANCISCO — Federal forestry offi-
cials say the die-off of trees in California
forests slowed in 2018 thanks in part to the
state receiving more rain.
But the U.S. Forest Service warned
Monday that dead trees continue to pose a
hazard to people and infrastructure, especial-
ly in the central and southern Sierra Nevada
regions where they can serve as fuel for wild-
fires.
A survey found 18 million trees died in
2018, compared to 27 million the previous
year. More than 147 million trees have died
in California since 2010, the start of a five-
year drought.
Officials declared an end to the drought in
2017 after a wet winter that drenched the
state in rain and snow. But California has
seen some of its worst wildfires in recorded
history since then.
Snow slams Northwest again
and even Hawaii gets some
SEATTLE — Schools closed across
Washington state and the Legislature can-
celed all hearings Monday with winter snow-
storms pummeling the Northwest again as a
larger weather system wreaked havoc in the
region and even brought snow to Hawaii.
Seattle’s metro area had already been hit
by three snow storms this month and the
National Weather Service reports that
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport has
received 14.1 inches of snow so far in
February, more than twice the annual average
and the snowiest month in more than 30
years.
The storm that hit Seattle on Sunday
dumped up to 4 inches of snow and forecast-
ers said more snow or rain was expected
Monday and Tuesday as a lingering jet
stream drives cold arctic air into the normal-
ly temperate region, and part of a larger
cycle that has also driven snow as far away
as Hawaii.
In the state capital of Olympia, lawmakers
cancelled meetings and the University of
Washington in Seattle and Washington State
University in Pullman called off classes.

Man found in Redwood City
couple’s home takes plea
More than three months after a 24-year-
old man was arrested when he was found in
a Redwood City couple’s home on a Sunday
afternoon, he is facing up to four years in
state prison after he pleaded no contest to
residential burglary Monday, according to
San Mateo County District Attorney’s
Office.
In custody on $50, 000 bail, Ian
Brimelow also admitted to a prior felony
strike conviction Monday and is facing a
lengthy prison term when he returns for
sentencing April 11, according to prosecu-
tors.
It wasn’t clear how long Brimelow had
been in the second-floor apartment at 630
Veterans Blvd. when the couple returned
home just before 3 p.m. Nov. 4 to find him
drinking a beverage in their kitchen. They
said they left their apartment the day
Local briefs
around 5:30 p. m. to
visit family in
Sunnyvale and returned
the next day to find
Brimelow in a ransacked
apartment smelling
strongly of marijuana,
according to prosecu-
tors.
The couple called the
Ian Brimelow
police, who responded
within minutes and asked Brimelow how he
entered the apartment. He allegedly said he
had been in the apartment for a while, and
officers found a bedroom screen window
had been removed and handprints were
found on the apartment’s exterior, accord-
ing to prosecutors.
Brimelow is also believed to have gone
through all the cabinets and drawers and
filled a backpack he found in the apartment
with household items. One of the victims’
passports was never recovered, according
to prosecutors.
With a history of trespassing, drugs and
theft convictions in North Carolina, West
Virginia and Florida, Brimelow is believed
to be a transient, according to prosecutors.
His defense attorney Jason Cueva could
not be immediately reached for comment.
Redwood City man accused
of beating wife takes plea
More than two years after a 59-year-old
Redwood City man was arrested for brutal-
ly beating his wife, he is facing 20 years
in state prison after he pleaded no contest
to felony domestic violence and misde-
meanor violation of a court order Monday,
according to the San Mateo County
District Attorney’s Office.
The trial for Mario Gomez was set to
begin Monday afternoon after his defense
attorney’s motion to continue the trial was
denied by Judge Jeffrey Finigan. Gomez is
said to have changed his mind and accepted
the plea deal on what was to have been the
eighth setting of the jury trial, according
to prosecutors.
Gomez was on parole for stabbing his
wife in the thigh in 2014 when he stran-
gled and threatened to kill her over the
course of two days starting Nov. 1, 2016.
He is also believed to have punched and
kicked her and hit her over the head with a
blunt object, causing a rib fracture and a
major head injury, according to prosecu-
tors previously.
Gomez and the victim were married in
2004, and he is believed to have had a long
history of abusing her prior to the
November of 2016 incident, according to
prosecutors.
Gomez’s defense attorney Mark Camperi
was not immediately available for com-
ment.

Pentagon chief makes global
debut with status uncertain
By Robert Burns
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KABUL, Afghanistan — At an
extraordinary moment in Pentagon
history, a former business executive
with little political stature and without
military experience is making his
international debut as the acting U.S.
secretary of defense.
After conferring Monday with
Afghan leaders and American military
commanders and diplomats in Kabul,
Pat Shanahan was scheduled to attend a
NATO defense ministers meeting in
Brussels and an international security
conference in Munich, Germany. It was
Shanahan’s first-ever visit to
Afghanistan, where American troops
have been at war for 17 years and the
Trump administration is pushing for a
peace deal with the Taliban.
Shanahan’s performance on the
global stage could influence whether
President Donald Trump elevates the
longtime Boeing executive from his
uncertain status as interim Pentagon
leader to be the administration’s nom-
inee to replace Jim Mattis. The retired
Marine general quit in late December
in protest of Trump’s policies.
In his resignation letter, Mattis
offered to stay on until after this
week’s NATO meeting to ensure that
the Pentagon’s interests were “proper-
ly articulated and protected.” But three
days after Mattis gave Trump that let-
ter, the president on Dec. 23 told
Mattis to leave the Cabinet on Dec.
31. This unusually sudden transition
came at sensitive junctures in Syria,
where Trump has ordered a U.S. troop
withdrawal, and Afghanistan, where a
potential troop pullout looms amid
continued Taliban violence.
Pat Shanahan, a former business chief with little political stature and no military
experience, is making his international debut as the acting U.S. secretary of defense.
The status of U.S. forces in Iraq also
has been put in question as Iraqi leaders
responded with anger to Trump’s state-
ment in early February that he would
keep American troops in Iraq in order
to watch neighboring Iran. Trump had
earlier angered Iraqis by saying he
would use Iraq as a base to strike
Islamic State targets inside Syria.
It is extraordinary for the Pentagon
to be run by an interim leader and even
rarer that the leader is a career defense
industry executive. Shanahan is only
the third person to serve as acting
defense secretary and the first in 30
years. The last was William H. Taft,
who served for two months in 1989
after President George H.W. Bush’s
first choice to be defense secretary,
John Tower, became mired in contro-
versy and ultimately failed to be con-
firmed by the Senate. Dick Cheney, the
future vice president under President
NATION
REUTERS FILE PHOTO
George W. Bush, then was nominated
and confirmed.
Shanahan is the first to undertake an
international trip while serving as act-
ing secretary, according to Pentagon
spokesman Chris Sherwood.
No one has been nominated to suc-
ceed Mattis. Nor has anyone been
nominated to succeed Shanahan in his
previous role as deputy defense secre-
tary. The Pentagon’s budget chief,
David L. Norquist, has been “perform-
ing the duties” of the deputy secretary
since Jan. 1.
Presidents typically take pains to
ensure the Pentagon is being run by a
Senate-confirmed official, given the
grave responsibilities that include
sending young Americans into battle,
ensuring the military is ready for
extreme emergencies like nuclear war
and managing overseas alliances that
are central to U.S. security.

Bloomberg’s climate
pragmatism could turn off 2020 Democrats
ORLANDO, Fla. — This should be Michael Bloomberg’s
moment. No presidential prospect has done more to con-
front climate change than the billionaire
Democrat, who measures his progress in
the metric tons of carbon emissions he’s
helped eliminate.
But as climate change surges to fore-
front of the 2020 Democratic primary, no
issue better illustrates Bloomberg’s
political challenge. A onetime
Republican, the pragmatic former New
York mayor is struggling to find his
Michael place among the increasingly bold ambi-
Bloomberg tions of his adopted political party.
Virtually every top Democratic White
House contender embraced the so-called Green New Deal
immediately after it was released last week.
Bezos probe concludes
mistress’ brother was Enquirer source
WASHINGTON — Private investigators working for Jeff
Bezos have concluded that the brother of the Amazon CEO’s
mistress leaked the couple’s intimate text messages to the
National Enquirer, a person familiar with the matter told the
Associated Press on Monday.
The person wasn’t authorized to discuss the matter pub-
licly and spoke to AP on condition of anonymity.
The findings add to the intrigue surrounding the clash
between the pro-Trump tabloid and the world’s richest man.
Bezos’ investigators have suggested the Enquirer’s cover-
age of his affair was driven by dirty politics.

Rep. Omar apologizes
for tweets on AIPAC’s influence
WASHINGTON — Freshman Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar
“unequivocally” apologized Monday for tweets suggesting
that members of Congress support Israel
because they are being paid to do so,
which drew bipartisan criticism and a
rebuke from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
The Minnesota Democrat said she had
no intention offending anyone, includ-
ing Jewish Americans.
“We have to always be willing to step
back and think through criticism, just as I
expect people to hear me when others
Ilhan Omar
attack me about my identity,” Omar
tweeted. “This is why I unequivocally apologize.”
The statement was the latest reckoning among Democrats
of intense differences in their ranks over the U.S.-Israeli
relationship, highlighted by criticism from Omar and Rep.
Rashida Tlaib of Michigan. They are the first Muslim
women to serve in Congress. Pelosi and other Democrats,
including leaders and chairmen, laid down a marker making
clear that Omar had overstepped.
In a pair of tweets over the weekend, Omar criticized the
American Israel Public Affairs Committee, or AIPAC. “It’s
all about the Benjamins baby,” she wrote.

Fierce battles near final
IS foothold in eastern Syria

Letters to the editor
Virginia Gov. Northam
Editor,
Within about a week, Virginia Gov.
Northam expressed support for a bill
that would have allowed killing an
infant after birth — as long as you
kept that infant (he used the word
infant, not fetus) comfortable while
others decided its fate; he also
announced he is not going to respond
to charges of racism by resigning. He
stated that Virginia “needs someone
that can heal” it. I don’t see how
infanticide is healing. Northam vio-
lated the oath he took as a doctor to
do no harm to life when he stated his
support for killing a baby. As a
police officer for more than 30 years,
I saw cases where police arrested
mothers who killed their babies
shortly after birth. Those women
were prosecuted and found guilty.
Have we reached a point in our socie-
ty where babies have no rights to
life? In Northam’s world, we have.

Trump’s shady dealings
Editor,
I’m responding to Virgil Stevens
from the Feb. 11 Daily Journal letter,
“Trumps And the Democrats.” In his
letter, Mr. Stevens said, “in Trump
the Democrats are faced with a politi-
cian who has assumed such a com-
manding ownership of the core issue
of our modern capitalism that he only
leaves behind meager progressive
crumbs on which the Democrats now
have to feed.” That comment is laugh-
able. Donald Trump is willfully igno-
rant of the duties and responsibilities
of being president of the United
States. Stubbornly, he refuses to lis-
ten to expert advise on a variety of
issues, such as global warming, ISIS,
the economy and tariffs. And the
Democrats aren’t eating any crumbs.
They are doing the investigative
work on Trumps “shady” business
dealings with the Russians that the
Republican party deliberately avoided
when they were the majority in the
House of Representatives.

Let’s put a food
plaza on the OSH lot
Editor,
Here’s an idea for the Foster City
OSH lot. A food plaza is a group of
stores sharing an exterior, like a mall
but is food and convenience oriented.
More than just really great restaurants
of different cuisines and pricing, it
might have vegetable, butcher and
fresh fish stores and maybe a barber
shop, delivery lockers, etc. and other
ideas that can coexist in a shared
environment with dining areas and
maybe with live music inside and out.
Best yet, it’s not a gas station or
more housing.
Owner/Operator: Further, the city
should consider owning it and super-
vise its operation. This is not manda-
tory but should be explored. It would
provide stable rents which would
encourage first tier occupants. It
would benefit the city with both sales
taxes and rental income. Some main-
tenance could be performed with
small staff additions to Parks, Public
Works and some contractors.

PG&E
Editor,
This judge should be impeached and
then disbarred. Are not his statements
and accusations out of order? At a
minimum he should be removed from
the case against PG&E. These are the
utterances that that judges should not
make.
Being a former PG&E stock holder I
take umbrage at the sub-headline
“enriching shareholders.” Some years
ago when PG&E was in financial
straits, management made the pro-
found decision to suspend stockholder
dividends while bestowing substan-
tial bonuses and/or salary increases
on top management. At that point in
time, I and my better-half liquidated
our holdings in PG&E — not a big
deal.
Up until that time, I thought PG&E
couldn’t do wrong. Homeowners,
renters and commercial customers
should not be penalized for PG&E’s
careless industrial practices; they had
no voice in the management.
Receivership is too good for good
for PG&E — sell it off to the highest
qualified bidder — Sempra should be
on the bidder’s list.
I’d wager that Alsup is an Obama
appointee.

Are we amid a
cold civil war?
H
ow many of us caught Trump’s State of the Union
Address? I did not, not at least the live broadcast.
Like many, my schedule was too busy. I was
coaching a junior high wrestling team. However, after see-
ing so much commentary on the internet, both positive
and negative, I knew I had to watch it. Easily, I found his
speech online and gave it the 82 minutes required to
watch, from start to finish.
The time was worthwhile. It was an important speech, if
for no other reason than to hear the president lay out the
meaning of his phrase, “Make America Great Again.”
The president cited numerous
examples of great Americans
from our past. One was Buzz
Aldrin, the Apollo 11 astronaut
who, along with Neil
Armstrong, set foot on the
moon in 1969. Mr. Aldrin was
in the audience and was given a
standing ovation. On July 21 of
this year will be the 50th
anniversary of that historical
event.
It is fitting and important to
give recognition to great Matt Grocott
Americans like Mr. Aldrin,
especially before those of his generation are passed. The
president adroitly used the opportunity to point to our
future. He spoke of continued space exploration and he
stated emphatically, “this year, American astronauts will
go back to space on American rockets.”
The president went on to highlight many past achieve-
ments of our country and to cite the many great things
America is yet to do and can do in her future. He intoned,
however, these accomplishments can only be achieved by
“rejecting the politics of revenge, resistance and retribu-
tion, and embrace the boundless potential of cooperation,
compromise and the common good.”
After these words, there was a standing ovation by most
of the audience … but not all. Auspiciously, there were
those dressed in white who did not stand, did not applaud,
but instead sat stone faced. “Why,” I wondered about the
white outfits? And specifically, “Why white?” Throughout
the rest of the president’s speech, I took note of these
audience members. The question came to mind: “When in
America’s past has such a strong display of disunity been
witnessed?” And I wondered, is what some are characteriz-
ing as a “cold civil war” upon us?
Many examples can be given of when the white-clad
audience members sat idle. For instance, when the presi-
dent said: “Tonight, I ask you to choose greatness,” they
sat idle. He spoke about our economy, our net export of
energy, the number of Americans who are off unemploy-
ment and working, lowered taxes and the doubling of the
“child tax credit.” Idle. He cited a new and significant
legislation called, “Right to Try.” No applause. He
spoke of our military strength and then ended this seg-
ment of his speech with the statement, “Members of
Congress, the state of our union is strong!” No applause
from these few.
One must wonder, if these people cannot applaud the
good things happening in America today, what is it they
would applaud? A weak economy? More Americans unem-
ployed and receiving government aid? Would they rather
see Americans sitting in lines waiting to buy gasoline for
$7.99 a gallon? Or paying $5 per therm for natural gas
and $1.25 per kilowatt for electricity? Maybe they would
prefer the “child tax credit” did not exist? Perhaps they
would rather our military be weak, to have our Navy in
ships from World War II and our Air Force flying planes
from the Vietnam era?
While these examples are significant, what struck me
most was when the president called for legislation to
“prohibit the late term abortion of children who can feel
pain in the mother’s womb.” Not only did these people
not applaud, the look on their faces was stone cold.
For me, this is an extremely personal issue. Once, while
having a discussion with my mother as an adult, she
shared with me that were abortion legal at the time she
carried me, she would have considered the option. I do not
hold this against my mother. What she stated was matter
of fact. However, I do take it personally that in America
today, knowing what we know medically about a child in
the womb, we still do not offer that child the protection of
life. It is a moral travesty.
Earlier I posed the question, not authored by me, but
which I have heard others ask: Are we in the midst of a
cold civil war? If we are, is an underlying issue, much as
slavery was in the 1860s, that of abortion? I invite your
thoughts on the question.

Stocks end mixed ahead of US-China trade talks

By Damian J. Troise
and Alex Veiga
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Wall Street capped a day of
mostly listless trading with a
mixed finish Monday as gains in
industrial companies, banks and
energy stocks outweighed losses
elsewhere.
Small-company stocks fared
better than the rest of the market
as investors shifted focus away
from the tail end of a relatively
strong corporate earnings season
and looked ahead to key trade talks
between the U.S. and China later
this week.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Stephen
Mnuchin is leading a delegation
set to meet with Chinese officials
on Thursday and Friday. The talks
are aimed at resolving a trade war
that threatens to stunt global eco-
nomic growth, in part by raising
prices on goods for consumers and
companies. The situation could
get worse when a truce on tariffs
expires in early March.
“The problem is, if this trade
issue goes on long enough, it will
metastasize itself to our economy,
“said Sam Stovall, chief invest-
ment strategist at CFRA.
The Dow Jones Industrial
Average fell 53.22 points, or 0.2
percent, to 25,053.11. The S&P
500 index rose 1.92 points, or 0.1
percent, to 2,709.80. The Nasdaq
composite added 9.71 points, or
0. 1 percent, to 7, 307. 90. The
Russell 2000 index of smaller-
company stocks gained 12. 59
points, or 0. 8 percent, to
1,518.98. European markets fin-
ished higher.
U.S. indexes spent much of the
day wavering between small gains
and losses on a light day of com-
pany earnings news.
Companies have mostly report-
ed better-than-expected earnings
for the last three months of last
year. Still, concerns have been
building about whether profits can
keep growing this year, especially
after companies’ strong gains in
2018 following a sweeping cor-
porate tax cut.
So far, 66.4 percent of compa-
nies in the S&P 500 have reported
earnings, with 69 percent beating
analysts’ forecasts. Earnings
growth comes in at 14.5 percent
for the quarter. But some compa-
nies have tempered their outlooks
and analysts currently expect a 2
percent contraction in the first
quarter.
Signs that the global economy
is slowing have also added to the
market’s worries about earnings in
2019.
Economists’ fears of a global
slowdown were given additional
fuel from a report Monday show-
ing Britain’s economy had its
slowest economic growth since
the aftermath of the global finan-
cial crisis. Both Europe overall
and China are contending with

Smaller stocks are winning
again, but for how long?
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — The stock market’s biggest
gains are once again coming from its small-
est companies, but the trend may not last
much longer.
Smaller-company stocks like Allegiant
Travel and AK Steel have been soaring since
late December and leading the rest of the
market, a sharp reversal from much of the
winter, when smaller stocks were plunging
more than the rest of the market. The Russell
2000 index of small-cap stocks has jumped
19.8 percent since Christmas Eve versus
16.2 percent for the big stocks in the S&P
500 large-cap index, though neither has
returned to the records they set late last year.
Bed Bath and Beyond, for example, has
surged 46.3 percent since Christmas Eve,
helped by a stronger-than-expected earnings
report where it said it’s ahead of plan in
eventually returning to profit growth.
Besides earnings reports, smaller stocks
have also been benefiting in recent weeks
from reduced worries that the Federal Reserve
will raise interest rates too quickly.
The Federal Reserve has pledged to be
patient in raising interest rates, even though
the economy is still growing, with inflation
low and worries high about weakening
growth. That’s a big deal for investors in
small-company stocks, because they often
carry higher levels of debt than their bigger
rivals, which gets more expensive as bor-
rowing costs rise.
Stocks in the S&P 600 small-cap index
have about 3.3 times more in net debt than
they do in earnings before interest pay-
ments, taxes and other items. The big stocks
in the S&P 500, meanwhile, have just 1.7
times more debt than earnings before inter-
est payments, taxes and other items.
a loss of $5.7M in 4Q
BELMONT — RingCentral Inc. on
Monday reported a loss of $5.7 million in
its fourth quarter.
On a per-share basis, the Belmont-based
company said it had a loss of 7 cents.
Earnings, adjusted for stock option expense
and amortization costs, came to 23 cents per
share.
The results topped Wall Street expecta-
tions. The average estimate of 14 analysts
surveyed by Zacks Investment Research was
for earnings of 18 cents per share.
The cloud-based phone system provider
for small businesses posted revenue of
$188.6 million in the period, which also
beat Street forecasts. Eleven analysts sur-
veyed by Zacks expected $180.9 million.
For the year, the company reported that
its loss widened to $26.2 million, or 33
cents per share. Revenue was reported as
$673.6 million.
For the current quarter ending in April,
RingCentral expects its per-share earnings
to range from 14 cents to 16 cents.
The company said it expects revenue in
the range of $191.5 million to $194.5 mil-
lion for the fiscal first quarter.
RingCentral expects full-year earnings in
the range of 69 cents to 73 cents per share,
with revenue ranging from $847 million to
$859 million.
RingCentral shares have climbed 21 per-
cent since the beginning of the year. In the
final minutes of trading on Monday, shares
hit $99.94, an increase of 92 percent in the
last 12 months.
Pacific Biosciences
reported a loss of $30.8M in 4Q
MENLO PARK — Pacific Biosciences of
California Inc. on Monday reported a loss of
$30.8 million in its fourth quarter.
The Menlo Park-based company said it
had a loss of 21 cents per share.
The maker of genetic analysis technology
posted revenue of $19.5 million in the peri-
od, which did not meet Street forecasts.
Three analysts surveyed by Zacks expected
$21.1 million.
For the year, the company reported that
its loss widened to $102.6 million, or 76
cents per share. Revenue was reported as
$78.6 million.
Pacific Biosciences shares have declined
3 percent since the beginning of the year. In
the final minutes of trading on Monday,
shares hit $7.17, nearly tripling in the last
12 months.
Chipotle touts fresh food
in new, documentary-style ads
NEWPORT BEACH — Chipotle is team-
ing up with Oscar-winning documentary
filmmaker Errol Morris for a series of ads
touting its fresh ingredients.
The digital and television spots show
employees making guacamole, grilling
chicken and chopping green peppers while
Morris chats with them from behind the
camera. Some ads will also feature the farm-
ers who supply Chipotle’s ingredients.
Newport Beach, California-based
Chipotle is tapping into a transparency
trend. Nielsen data shows growing market
share for simpler, cleaner ingredient labels
in food, cosmetics and even pet food.
The ads could also help improve the
chain’s reputation after multiple food poi-
soning outbreaks. The most recent one
sickened more than 600 people last summer.
Chipotle said traffic was down slightly
last year at its established stores. Overall
revenue was up, partly because of higher
prices.
Chipotle has 2,500 restaurants in North
America and Europe.

Sequoia throttled past Terra Nova 53-23.

start wrestling as a freshman as it was the
gauntlet thrown down by her older brother
David.
“’I bet you can’t last a single day, let alone
a whole season of wrestling,’” Corona said,
quoting her brother’s challenge. “I was a
track, cross-country kid. And I wanted to
prove him wrong.”
It took Corona her entire freshman season
to get comfortable on the mat. She estimates
she only won two matches during the regular
season.
The Half Moon Bay girls’ wrestling pro-
gram struggled through the 2015-16 season
as well. Corona was one of just five wrestlers
on the varsity roster. But, my, how times
have changed.
The girls’ squad has grown in numbers
every season. Corona’s sophomore year, 18
girls wrestled at Half Moon Bay. Her junior
year, 20. This year, the roster is up to 24 and,
in fact, dwarfs the boys’ varsity roster, as the
Gentleman Cougars number just eight
wrestlers this season.
“Every one of the girls that were on the
team freshman year, we each brought one or
two friends, and the next year we brought one
or two friends,” Corona said. “And now here
we are.”
And through the past four years, Corona
has grown into the consummate leader — not
just in dragging classmates out to wrestling
practice, only to see those classmates also
fall in love with the sport — but she is a keen
leader by example, according to Half Moon
Bay head coach Sam Temko.
“She’s been really pivotal to our pro-
gram,” Temko said. “She’s our girls’ team
captain this year, she’s a returning section
placer … and a three-sport athlete. She works
really hard every day … and she’s a great
motivator and a great leader for our team.”
Saturday’s championship match ended in a
first-round pin. Facing Carlmont senior Talia
Fine, Corona entered the match cautiously,
having never previously faced Fine. The two
brawled for a bit, but Corona’s tenacity won
out. As she went for a double leg shot, Fine
defended it, but Corona kept the aggression
up, got top position on her opponent and
swiftly pinned her.
“When I first started out as a freshman, I
only won a couple matches the whole year,”
Corona said. “If you would have told me I was
going to be a four-time league champ, I
would have laughed at you.”
Now, Corona’s smiles are all earned — as a
four-peat PAL champion.

Carlmont, M-A set for rematch
in PAL boys’ tournament finals
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Carlmont rallied for a 25-point fourth
quarter to surge into the finals of the PAL
boys’ basketball tournament.
The Scots overcame Jeffereson’s early lead
to win 60-50 in Monday’s semifinal matchup
at Sequoia. The Grizzlies led by as much as 10
in the first half, but by the final period the 3s
started raining down for Carlmont.
“Things were falling for us and we had
some big stops,” Carlmont head coach Ron
Ozorio said.
Senior point guard Sho Takahashi gave
the Scots a 41-40 lead with a pair of free
throws with less than seven minutes to
play. Then senior Lajuan Nelson belted a 3

Senior center Jake Kennedy had two

HOUSTON — There was only a little over
a minute left in Houston’s game and it
looked as if James
Harden’s streak of 30-
point games would be
ending.
Harden brought the
ball down the court and
was enveloped by two
defenders near the 3-
point line, so he passed
James Harden to Chris Paul, who drew
the defense away. After a
couple of dribbles Paul turned and got it
back to Harden, who stepped back and sunk
a 3-pointer over Dorian Finney-Smith to
keep the streak alive.
Harden scored 31 points for his 30th
straight 30-point game despite dealing with
a shoulder injury, leading the Rockets to a

and he put the game out of reach with a 3-
pointer to up the lead to 54-48 with less
than a minute to play.
Nelson finished with a team-high 17
points, while Takahashi added 15.
The Scots now advance to Tuesday’s
championship game to face PAL South
Division champion Menlo-Atherton at
Sequoia at 7:45 p.m. M-A topped Carlmont
in both regular-season matchups between
the division rivals.
“They’re rested and we’re exhausted, ”
Ozorio said. “But we’re going to fight.”
Menlo-Atherton 85, Terra Nova 42
Menlo-Atherton jumped out to a 25-8 lead
in the first quarter and never looked back in
a spectacle of offense in Monday’s other
PAL boys’ semifinal. The Bears outscored
Terra Nova in every quarter, including a 31-
16 shootout in the third.
NBA brief
120-104 victory over the Dallas Mavericks
on Monday night.
Paul was asked if he was determined to
help Harden extend the streak.
“For sure. He had what 28, so yeah, why
not? We was up,” Paul said.
Harden, who had eight rebounds and seven
assists, seemed to be a bit slowed early by
the strained left shoulder that he injured on
Saturday against Oklahoma City, making
just one of his first seven shots. But he
warmed up after that and finished 9 of 23,
capped by his sixth 3-pointer with 52.9
seconds remaining. Fans chanted “MVP!
MVP!” after he sunk the shot.
Harden denied that he was concerned about
getting 30 points, but he did say it was a
“credit to” Paul that he got the ball back to
him.
NBA says key call was missed
late in Heat-Warriors matchup
By Tim Reynolds
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI — Golden State’s Kevin Durant
should have been called for a discontinued
dribble on the Warriors’ final possession of
what became their 120-118 win over the
Miami Heat, the NBA said
Monday in a report detail-
ing all calls made in the
last 2 minutes of the
game.
Golden State made a
pair of free throws on that
possession, the final
points of the game.
The league, in its Last
Kevin Durant
Two Minute Report that is
released after close games, said it reviewed
multiple video angles to determine that
Durant’s dribble was not interrupted by the
ball making inadvertent contact with the
foot or shin of Heat defender Justise Winslow
and “a discontinued dribble should have been
called on Durant.”
Also, the league opted not to fine Heat
coach Erik Spoelstra for his postgame com-
ments about the officiating — which were
prefaced by Spoelstra beginning his remarks
with “Look, NBA, do not fine me. I’m
allowed to say this.”
Spoelstra also said multiple times in his
postgame news conference that he was not
blaming referees for the loss.
Durant was being defended by Winslow

bling as Golden State’s DeMarcus Cousins

came to set a pick, the whole play unfolding
not far from referee Kevin Cutler. Durant lost
control of the ball and Heat assistant coach
Chris Quinn — standing just a couple feet
from referee Jason Goldenberg — was among
those immediately lobbying for a violation
to be called.
Goldenberg signaled that Durant’s dribble
was deflected by Winslow, which replays
showed was not the case. The play continued,
Durant missed a 3-point try, and Cousins got
the rebound, was fouled and made two free
throws with 5.4 seconds remaining in what
became the final points of the game.
“It’s a double-dribble. Everybody can see
it,” Spoelstra said after the game. “Those are
tough calls to make but everybody saw it. It’s
right there in front of everybody. That should
be a violation and you can’t miss those calls.
But we had our chances. Like I said, it was
back and forth. The officials — so let’s be
clear about it, so I do not get fined — that’s
not why we lost.”
Miami still had a chance to win, but Dion
Waiters’ 3-pointer bounced off the rim as
time expired. The loss knocked Miami,
which was playing at Denver on Monday
night, out of the eighth and final playoff
spot in the Eastern Conference.
The Warriors took 26 free throws to
Miami’s eight, which also irked Spoelstra.
“You hate to see 26-8 when our guys are
going aggressively,” he said.
The league’s review included study of 26
different events that went on in the last 2
minutes, and the league said the 25 others
were all handled correctly.

Kane scores twice,
Sharks go large in
rout of Vancouver
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
VANCOUVER, British Columbia —
Evander Kane scored twice, leading the
Sharks to a 7-2 rout of the Vancouver
Canucks Monday night.
The victory moves San Jose into first
place in the Western
Conference and extends
the Sharks’ winning
streak to six games.
Timo Meier, Melker
Karlsson, Tomas Hertl,
Kevin Lebanc and Joe
Pavelski also scored for
the Sharks. Martin Jones
Evander Kane had 25 saves.
Bo Horvat and Derrick
Pouliot scored for Vancouver. Mike DiPietro
stopped 17 of 24 shots in his NHL debut.
Meier got the Sharks on the board with a
goal just 1:04 into the first period.
The Sharks added another goal just min-
utes later off a high shot by Kane.
Vancouver defenseman Ben Hutton attempt-
ed to punch the puck out of the air in front of
the net, but instead sent it in off of DiPietro.
When Karlsson added San Jose’s third
goal 8:48 into the opening frame, the
Canucks had yet to register a shot.
Despite a slow start, Vancouver seemed to
find its way late in the first, tying up the
Sharks in their own end.
With just seconds left on the clock, rook-
ie Elias Pettersson sliced a pass to Horvat
down low. The center hammered a slap shot
past Jones to put the Canucks on the board.
Vancouver out shot San Jose 13-5 in the
second period, but the Sharks added goals
from Kane, Hertl and Lebanc.

Each of those reps is expected to champi-
on the teams in their league, but there is a
fine line between legitimate strength and
hype and it takes a conscientious rep to
flesh out the differences.
“It’s an open discussion (about who gets
seeded where). There are no power points,”
said Paul Carion, South City girls’ head
coach and the Peninsula Athletic League’s
representative to CCS. “[The seeding com-
mittee] wants to see if you went out and
challenged yourself. They want to see your
best wins. They want to know if you have
any bad losses.”
Carion, who will be participating in his
sixth seeding meeting, is not simply a
shill for the PAL. He knows which PAL
teams are legit and which might have an
inflated self worth. He said it is his duty to
tell the rest of the league reps where he
believes teams from the PAL should be
seeded.
“I always tell all the teams I represent
that my first job is to seed the best brack-
et,” Carion said. “My second job is get
everybody (that qualified from the PAL) the
best seed possible.
Carion said there are some league reps
who overplay their hand in pumping up
their league, only to see it come back to
bite them when their third-seeded team
loses in the quarterfinals to the sixth-seed-
ed team. That reduces that rep’s credibility

He declared himself eligible for April’s
NFL draft last month. He is not a prototypi-

“You have to be honest about your teams.
In the old days, you have the reps, but also
have the coaches sit and watch, so reps
could not be really honest,” Carion said.
Carion said it’s important that league
reps have a good grasp on the overall
strengths of their respective leagues and it
is expected they are honest with the rest of
the committee.
“That’s why it’s important to have the
same rep year in and year out,” Carion said.
Carion is as prepared as anyone in the
seeding meeting. He knows who the top
teams are in the various leagues around
CCS, but even he needs some help from his
PAL colleagues. Carion forwarded an email
from Oceana girls’ head coach Ken Wilson,
who broke down — in fine detail — and
gave compelling arguments about where he
believed his Sharks teams should be seed-
ed. Carion doesn’t expect every coach to
provide a detailed breakdown of their team,
but he does expect a little help from coach-
es for whom he will be representing.
“I expect [PAL coaches] to do their home-
work (for their team),” Carion said, adding
he will meet with many coaches from quali-
fied teams following the PAL postseason
meeting for a quick chat about seeding pos-
sibilities. “PAL girls’ (teams) usually repre-
sent themselves pretty well (in the play-
offs), so when I say something, [the CCS
committee listens] to me.

The A’s thought so, too.
Murray was the ninth overall pick in last
June’s baseball amateur draft, and the out-
fielder agreed to a minor league contract
with Oakland for a $4.66 million signing
bonus. The deal called for him to receive
$1.5 million after approval last summer by
Major League Baseball and $3.16 million
on March 1. Murray must return six-sev-
enths of the money he received, or
$1,285,714. While there is a provision for
a team to get an extra draft pick in the fol-
lowing draft if it fails to sign a player

such provision for a player who signed and

Oakland had a locker with a No. 73 jersey

biggest change is the expansion of the
brackets. Last year, there were just three
divisions — an eight-team Open and two,
six-team brackets. This year, CCS is
expanding to five divisions of eight team
each.
Much like football, only teams from one
of the five “A” leagues in the section are
eligible for the Open Division — meaning
one and possibly two teams from the PAL’s
Bay Division could be included.
The rest of the divisions will then be
seeded according to power points as the
soccer playoffs also get away from the
enrollment-based model in use for years.
While the number of teams that qualify
for the postseason doesn’t change, 40
teams are still eligible for the playoffs,
CCS decided to add two more bracket and
use eight-team formats instead of 16.
According to the CCS Soccer Sports
Committee Report approved March 2018,
the decision to expand the number of
brackets was based on competitive equity.
People are tired of seeing first-round
blowouts of overmatched teams and are try-
ing to find ways to guard against them.
“By expanding to five divisions, the
Soccer Committee noted that competitive
equity would be a better option over enroll-
ment to [e]nsure that a maximum number of
leagues would be represented in each divi-
sion,” the report said.

in that as well and I’m excited to work with him. I played
against him for a number of years as well. It’s going to be
fun the three of us talking and putting our heads together.”
New Giants president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi
said Friday he was still seeking depth at the catcher posi-
tion behind Posey, who is recovering from right hip sur-
gery.
Vogt grew up in California’s Central Valley, and the
Giants were his favorite team. He used to pretend he was
Will Clark in the backyard and loved Barry Bonds. Vogt
attended the final game at Candlestick Park and the first at
the franchise’s new waterfront ballpark when it opened in
2000.
“Just getting a chance to talk to Farhan and chat every-
thing out, it was very exciting for me, because not only is
it back to the Bay and back where Alyssa and I had our kids
and spent a bunch of years, it was my childhood favorite
team, as well,” Vogt said. “So growing up a Giants fan, this
is going to be so incredible.”
Vogt and Zaidi knew each other before Zaidi left the A’s for
the Dodgers, where he spent the past four years as general
manager.
The 34-year-old Vogt had surgery on his troublesome
right shoulder last May and didn’t play for Milwaukee last
year. He says he feels great now and is throwing, but throw-
ing from the catcher’s crouch remains a step he must com-
plete.

played two holes just as well as the previous
16 and polished off his bogey-free final
round with one last birdie for a 7-under 65
and a three-shot victory over Paul Casey in
the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.
Mickelson won at Pebble Beach for the
fifth time, matching the record set by Mark
O’Meara. He has gone 28 years since his
first PGA Tour victory and his 44th, and he
joined Tiger Woods as the only players to
surpass $90 million in career earnings.
“It’s a lot more work and effort to play at
this level,” Mickelson said. “And I have
believed for some time that if I play at my
best, it will be good enough to win tourna-
ments. The challenge is getting myself to
play my best. It’s a lot more work off the
course, it’s more time in the gym, it’s more
time eating, it’s more time focusing, it’s all
these things that go into it.
“And so it’s gratifying to see the results
and to finish it off the way I did.”
Making it even more special is Pebble
Beach, where he made his pro debut at the
U.S. Open in 1992, where he won the first
of his five titles in another Monday finish
in 1998, this one in August because of rain.
It’s where his grandfather, Al Santos, was
a marker the 1900 silver dollar his grandfa-
ther kept in his pocket to remind him he was
not poor.
There was plenty of sunlight for the
Monday morning finish, just no drama.
Mickelson, who started the final round
three shots behind, never came close to a
bogey and built a three-shot lead through 16
holes on Sunday night when it was too dark
to finish, no matter how hard he lobbied to
keep going.
The final round Sunday had been delayed
at the start by one hour because of rain, and
then sunshine quickly gave way to hail that
covered the greens in a sheet of white and
led to a two-hour delay.
Mickelson said he could “see just fine”
even after sunset, knowing darkness falls
quickly on the Monterey Peninsula. Casey
could barely see the 3 feet of grass between
his ball and the cup on the 16th hole and
said there was no way to complete two holes
in six minutes. Mickelson was on the 17th
tee, shaking his head when he heard the
siren to stop play.
On Monday morning, he had a change of
heart and said he thanked Casey for standing
his ground.
“Paul made the tough call, but it was the
right decision in that he protected himself
and myself for the competition,” Mickelson
said. “I just get in my own little bubble and
I don’t see the big picture.”

Youth smoking decline stalls, and vaping may be to blame
By Mike Stobbe
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Cigarette smoking rates
have stopped falling among U.S. kids, and
health officials believe youth vaping is
responsible.
For decades, the percentage of high
school and middle school students who
smoked cigarettes had been declining fairly
steadily. For the past three years, it has flat-
tened, according to new numbers released
Monday.
There may be several reasons, but a recent
boom in vaping is the most likely explana-
tion, said Brian King of the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention.
“We were making progress, and now you
have the introduction of a product that is
heavily popular among youth that has com-
pletely erased that progress,” King said.
The CDC findings come from a national
survey conducted last spring of more than
20,000 middle and high school students. It
asked if they had used any tobacco products
in the previous month. Some of the find-
ings had been released before, including the
boom in vaping.
Experts attribute the vaping increase to
the exploding popularity of newer versions
of e-cigarettes, like those by Juul Labs Inc.
of San Francisco. The products resemble

According to the new CDC data, about 8
percent of high schoolers said they had
recently smoked cigarettes in 2018, and
about 2 percent of middle schoolers did.

Those findings were about the same seen in
similar surveys in 2016 and 2017.
It also found that about 2 in 5 high school
students who used a vaping or tobacco prod-
uct used more than one kind, and that the
most common combination was e-ciga-
rettes and cigarettes. Also, about 28 percent

of high school e-cigarette users said they
vaped 20 or more days in the previous
month — nearly a 40 percent jump from the
previous year.
Smoking, the nation’s leading cause of
preventable illness, is responsible for more
than 480,000 deaths each year. The U.S.
Food and Drug Administration bans the sale
of e-cigarettes and tobacco products to
those under 18.
E-cigarettes are generally considered bet-
ter than cigarettes for adults who are already
addicted to nicotine. But health officials
have worried for years that electronic ciga-
rettes could lead kids to switch to smoking
traditional cigarettes.
“I think the writing is on the wall,” with
research increasingly suggesting e-ciga-
rettes are becoming a gateway to regular
cigarettes, said Megan Roberts, an Ohio
State University researcher.
There is, however, some split of opinion
among health researchers. Some had linked
e-cigarettes to an unusually large drop in
teen smoking a few years ago, and they say
it’s not clear to what extent the decline in
smoking has stalled or to what degree vap-
ing is to blame.
Cigarette smoking is still declining in
some states. And another large survey found
that smoking has continued to drop among
12th graders, though not in younger school
kids.

DEAL
Continued from page 1
N.Y. The pact also includes increases for new technolo-
gies such as advanced screening at border entry point,
humanitarian aid sought by Democrats, and additional
customs officers.
This weekend, Shelby pulled the plug on the talks over
Democratic demands to limit immigrant detentions by
federal authorities, frustrating some of his fellow nego-
tiators, but Democrats yielded ground on that issue in a
fresh round of talks on Monday.
Asked if Trump would back the deal, Shelby said: “We
believe from our dealings with them and the latitude
they’ve given us, they will support it. We certainly hope
so.”
Trump traveled to El Paso, Texas, for a campaign-style
rally Monday night focused on immigration and border
issues. He has been adamant that Congress approve
money for a wall along the Mexican border, though he no
longer repeats his 2016 mantra that Mexico will pay for
it, and he took to the stage as lawmakers back in
Washington were announcing their breakthrough.
“They said that progress is being made with this com-
mittee,” Trump told his audience, referring to the con-
LOCAL/NATION
gressional bargainers. “Just so you know, we’re building
the wall anyway.”
Democrats carried more leverage into the talks after
besting Trump on the 35-day shutdown but showed flexi-
bility in hopes on winning Trump’s signature. After
yielding on border barriers, Democrats focused on reduc-
ing funding for detention beds to curb what they see as
unnecessarily harsh enforcement by Immigration and
Customs Enforcement, or ICE.
The agreement yielded curbed funding, overall, for ICE
detention beds, which Democrats promised would mean
the agency would hold fewer detainees than the roughly
49,000 detainees held on Feb. 10, the most recent date for
which figures were available. Democrats claimed the num-
ber of beds would be ratcheted down to 40,520.
But a proposal to cap at 16,500 the number of detainees
caught in areas away from the border — a limit Democrats
say was aimed at preventing overreach by the agency —
ran into its own Republican wall.
Democrats dropped the demand in the Monday round of
talks, and the mood in the Capitol improved markedly.
Trump met Monday afternoon with top advisers in the
Oval Office to discuss the negotiations. He softened his
rhetoric on the wall but ratcheted it up when alluding to
the detention beds issue.
“We can call it anything. We’ll call it barriers, we’ll call
it whatever they want,” Trump said. “But now it turns out
not only don’t they want to give us money for a wall, they
THE DAILY JOURNAL
don’t want to give us the space to detain murderers, crim-
inals, drug dealers, human smugglers.”
The recent shutdown left more than 800,000 govern-
ment workers without paychecks, forced postponement of
the State of the Union address and sent Trump’s poll num-
bers tumbling. As support in his own party began to
splinter, Trump surrendered after the shutdown hit 35
days, agreeing to the current temporary reopening with-
out getting money for the wall.
The president’s supporters have suggested that Trump
could use executive powers to divert money from the fed-
eral budget for wall construction, though he could face
challenges in Congress or the courts.
The negotiations hit a rough patch Sunday amid a dis-
pute over curbing ICE, the federal agency that
Republicans see as an emblem of tough immigration poli-
cies and Democrats accuse of often going too far.
According to ICE figures, 66 percent of the nearly
159,000 immigrants it reported detaining last year were
previously convicted of crimes. Reflecting the two
administration’s differing priorities, in 2016 under
President Barack Obama, around 110, 000 immigrants
were detained and 86 percent had criminal records.
Few convictions that immigrants detained last year had
on their records were for violent crimes. The most com-
mon were for driving while intoxicated, drugs, previous
immigration convictions and traffic offenses.
The border debate got most of the attention, but it’s just
part of a major spending measure to fund a bevy of
Cabinet departments. A collapse of the negotiations
would have imperiled another upcoming round of budget
talks that are required to prevent steep spending cuts to
the Pentagon and domestic agencies.

officials previously described as generous and fiscally
responsible.
Union representatives previously expressed disappoint-
ment with the county’s prior offer, saying it did not keep
pace with the region’s rising cost of living and underscor-
ing the union’s previous decision to not take wage
increases during the recession. More than 1,700 employ-
ees are estimated to be represented by the union, which
includes workers in the county’s Parks Department,
Human Services Agency and County Health.
Linda Johnson, a therapist working at County Health,
said union members are hoping the county’s new offer is
fair and addresses the many issues causing workers to flee
the county, including lack of parity with other counties
and the increasingly oppressive cost of living in San
Mateo County. She said the union is expected to hold a
vote on the new offer Wednesday and Thursday.
“We sincerely would prefer to continue providing unin-
terrupted services to the citizens of San Mateo County
rather than strike,” she said in an email. “Striking is truly
a last resort for us all.”

Woman begins jail sentence for texting suicide conviction
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TAUNTON, Mass. — A Massachusetts
woman who sent her suicidal boyfriend
a barrage of text messages urging him
to kill himself was jailed Monday on an
involuntary manslaughter conviction
nearly five years after he died in a truck
filled with toxic gas.
Michelle Carter was sentenced to 15
months in jail in 2017 for her role in
the death of Conrad Roy III, but the
judge allowed her to remain free while
she appealed in state court.
Massachusetts’ highest court upheld her
conviction last week, saying her
actions caused Roy’s death.
A lawyer for Carter had argued the 22-
year-old should stay out of jail while
her defense team takes her case to the
U.S. Supreme Court. Her attorneys said
CENTER
Continued from page 1
ter. The recommendations, part of the
city’s piecemeal strategy for rebuild-
ing the center which was lost in an
arson fire nearly three years ago,
would raise about $4 million combined
— well short of the $30 million esti-
mated to construct a new facility.
Recognizing the challenges facing
officials looking to come up with the
money to rebuild the center, Mayor
Wayne Lee said he supports moving
ahead with the proposals coming
before officials.
“We’ll have to attack it in many
ways,” Lee said of the plan for rebuild-
ing the center. “But we definitely want
to do it in the next couple years,
because the costs keep going up and it
is a fundamental part of our communi-
ty.”
As part of the immediate effort to
raise money for rebuilding the center,
officials at the upcoming meeting can
approve a concept plan applying for a
portion of the state’s Cultural,
Community and Natural Resource
grant.
Under the recommendation from city
officials, Millbrae could seek $2.9
million of the $37 million available
to offset costs associated with the
rebuild, which is proposed at the site
of the former center.
For his part, Lee expressed confi-
dence in the opportunity to obtain a
portion of the money available under
state voters approving Proposition
68, a bond floated on last year’s June
ballot to benefit parks, open spaces
and other community assets. A deci-
sion on grant winners is expected to be
announced by December.
“I think we have a good chance,”
in court documents that she has no prior
criminal record, hasn’t tried to flee, and
has been receiving mental health treat-
ment.
But a judge ruled Monday that she
should start her sentence. Earlier in the
day, Massachusetts’ highest court
denied an emergency motion filed by
her lawyers to keep her out of jail.
Carter showed no discernible emo-
tion as she was taken into custody,
though her shoulders sagged as she
stood and prepared to be led away.
Roy’s aunt expressed relief Monday,
saying his family believes justice had
been served even though the case had
been a long and difficult ordeal for
them.
“We hope that no one else ever has to
feel this pain,” Becky Maki said. “His
life mattered.”
said Lee. “We have a talented staff and
a huge need. And that’s not the only
avenue we are looking at.”
Regarding other opportunities for
fundraising, officials at the upcoming
meeting will also examine a proposal
to declare two pieces of city property
as surplus, which could ultimately
make them eligible to sell.
The properties, one on Sequoia
Avenue and another on Santa Margarita
Avenue, if sold could generate in the
neighborhood of $1 million to be paid
toward the rebuild effort, according to
a city report.
Lee said he is typically reticent to
sell city property, but since the land
identified does not currently offer great
community benefit, he would favor
consider making it available for pur-
chase.
The properties were identified to
potentially sell in advance of floating
the $12 million bond proposed to
finance the new recreation center in
the fall election, which ultimately fell
just a few percentage points short of
the supermajority required to pass.
Officials are also considering sell-
ing Schultz Park, near Taylor Middle
School, to raise money for the center.
But Lee said the controversial propos-
al would likely need voter approval
before the land was made available.
He said the source of the debate over
whether to sell the park is that it could
accommodate a large residential devel-
opment, which neighbors of the prop-
erty oppose. Lee said ultimately he
will defer to the majority opinion
among the City Council and staff on
ways to best proceed.
Even if the park was sold though,
officials would likely still be short of
the revenue needed to build the center,
which invites the question over
whether officials will resurrect another
tax proposal.
Lee said he is not ambitious to

An attorney for Carter vowed to con-
tinue to appeal.
“Make no mistake, this legal fight is
not over,” Joe Cataldo said.
Carter was 17 when Roy, 18, took his
own life in Fairhaven, a town on
Massachusetts’ south coast in July
2014. Her case garnered international
attention and provided a disturbing
look at teenage depression and suicide.
Carter and Roy both struggled with
depression, and Roy had previously
tried to kill himself. Their relationship
consisted mostly of texting and other
electronic communications.
In dozens of text messages revealed
during her sensational trial, Carter
pushed Roy to end his life and chastised
him when he hesitated. As Roy made
excuses to put off his plans, her texts
became more insistent.
embrace another tax, but said he might
support the initiative if there was no
other way to raise the money.
“If it is the only course of action we
have, I’d say do it,” said Lee, of the tax
pursuit.
In brainstorming other potential
fundraising mechanisms, Lee said a
low-interest loan and selling naming
rights to the potential center could be
alternatives to the tax.
Vice Mayor Reuben Holober too said
he was optimistic that officials could
raise the rebuild money without hav-
ing to go back to the ballot.
“I’m hopeful the city can put togeth-
er a package that doesn’t involve
another tax,” he said. “That would be
ideal.”
Holober also noted the opportunity
to generate revenue from sale of other
city property near the BART station
could be a key piece of the financing
puzzle as well as requesting a provider
of the child care services planned at the
facility to pay toward a portion of the
capital cost.
Though unsure when a formal financ-
ing strategy may be proposed,
Holober said he would like the initia-
tive to move forward rapidly.
“I want to get going on this, and the
longer it takes, the more expensive
it’s going to be,” he said.
While uncertainty lingers over the
preferred fundraising method, Lee said
support remains unanimous for
rebuilding the center which so many
consider an essential piece of
Millbrae.
“The community really needs it. It’s
an opportunity for the community to

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Geoffrey Alexander George Lindsay
Case Number: 19-PRO-00126
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of Geoffrey Alexander
George Lindsay, Geoffrey Alexander
George Lindeasy. A Petition for Probate
has been filed by Anne F. Smith in the
Superior Court of California, County of
San Mateo. The Petition for Probate re-
quests that Anne F. Smith be appointed
as personal representative to administer
the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant au-
thority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: MAR. 08, 2019 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the peti-
tion, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hear-
ing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent cred-
itor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representa-
tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under sectioin
9052 of the California Probate Code.Oth-
er California statutes and legal authority
may affect your rights as a creditor. You
may want to consult with an attorney
knowledgable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.

Case Number: 19-PRO-00125
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of Jewel L. Jacini, Jewel
Lotus Jacini, and Jewel Lotus Hamilton.
A Petition for Probate has been filed by
Anne F. Smith in the Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo. The
Petition for Probate requests that Anne
F. Smith be appointed as personal repre-
sentative to administer the estate of the
decedent.
The petition requests the decedent’s will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The will and any codicils are avail-
able for examination in the file kept by
the court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant au-
thority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: MAR. 08, 2019 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the peti-
tion, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hear-
ing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent cred-
itor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representa-
tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under sectioin
9052 of the California Probate Code.Oth-
er California statutes and legal authority
may affect your rights as a creditor. You
may want to consult with an attorney
knowledgable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.

DRESS CODE
Continued from page 1
good example of how it could be imple-
mented,” said Land.
Under the amendments, the new dress
code is written to emphasize the attire
allowed at school while taking special care
to define appropriate ways the policy
should be implemented.
Removed from the previous code are bans
on specific garments such as halter tops,
fishnet fabrics, low-cut tops or shorts that
rise above mid thigh, under concerns raised
by female students who felt the policy was
sexist.
The new policy is designed so that the
“student dress code should serve to support
all students to develop a body-positive
self-image,” according to the basic princi-
ples. Such an intent is achieved by encour-
aging students to “dress in a manner that is
comfortable and conducive to an active
school day and allows them to express their
self-identified gender,” with an ability to
“wear clothing without fear of or actual
unnecessary discipline or body shaming,”
according the policy.
Julia Kempkey, assistant superintendent
of Curriculum and Instruction, said the
changes were borne from suggestions that
students felt the previous language was
inequitably punitive.
“At the beginning of the school year stu-
dents identified language which unfairly
targeted female students for wearing cloth-
ing viewed as ‘suggestive’ or ‘distract-
ing,’” she said in an email. “As administra-
tors we began to look at the language to
identify ways to make the policy more equi-
table and revise it in a way that promotes a
positive body image.”
While the policy is more permissive in
its design, it still mandates clothes suffi-
ciently conceal underwear and the torso
while disallowing clothing that promotes
inappropriate images or behavior such as
violence, drugs, alcohol, hate speech and
more. Gang-related apparel is prohibited as
well.
Short of students wearing clothes explic-
itly banned, those who violate the dress
code should not be taken out of class to
address the issue and a variety of options
should be presented to rectify the issue.
The local school district’s decision mim-
ics amendments such as those approved last
year in Alameda, where students led the
charge to change previous policies preclud-
ing them from wearing clothes considered
too revealing or inappropriate.
Land said while officials are largely on
board with the changing conventional wis-
dom on the issue, he said questions among
his colleagues linger of appropriate imple-
mentation of the policy. As a result, the
discussion will return for further examina-
tion at a later board meeting.
For her part, Kempkey said staff training
to better understand the focus of the new
policy will be essential for an effective
rollout.
“We believe the new policy is a step in
the right direction. We look forward to
working with administrators and students
to see that is it successfully implemented,”
she said.
Kempkey also lauded the contributions of
students in developing a dress code which
they felt was more fair and appropriate.
“Working with students is the best part of
my job. We worked with a core group of stu-
dents across all of our schools who had an
interest in seeing these revisions come to
fruition. They took the task seriously, mak-
ing some wonderful suggestions,” she said.
“We had a passionate group of students
(many of them seniors) who really wanted
to make the policy revisions in support of
future students. It was a great project.”
In other business at the meeting, trustees
agreed further exploration of a potential
bond measure was in order, Land said. He
said the issue will return for further discus-
sion, including whether to hire a pollster to
gauge public opinion on the initiative.
Also, officials stopped short of approv-
ing a proposal to install video cameras at
campuses. Land said before spending as
much as $3 million on the proposal, offi-
cials asked for a deeper examination of the
district’s broader security policy.
