Unemployment hits 49-year low Employers added a robust 263,000 jobs in April By Christopher Rugaber THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — U.S. employers added a robust 263,000 jobs in April, suggesting that businesses have shrugged off earlier concerns that the economy might slow this year and now anticipate strong customer demand. The unemployment rate fell to a fivedecade low of 3.6% from 3.8%, though that drop reflected a rise in the number of people who stopped looking for work. Average hourly pay rose 3.2% from 12 months earlier, a healthy

Moss Beach man gets 11 years prison for shooting DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

A 51-year-old Moss Beach man found guilty of felony assault with a deadly weapon for shooting a man trying to assist him in 2017 was sentenced to 11 years in state prison Friday, according to the San Mateo County District Attorney’s Office. In custody on $11 million bail, Edward Wilson was also required to pay the man he shot once in the abdomen and once in the arm $6, 000 in restitution and was denied probation. He will receive 707 days credit for time served, according to prosecutors. Less than an hour before Wilson shot a man outside his home Sept. 4, 2017, he is said to have approached two men sitting in a car on Lancaster Boulevard in Moss Beach with two guns in his hand, telling them he was with the FBI and needed help, according to prosecutors.

Redwood City resident Ian Whiteman, 40, pleaded no contest to with a minor for the purpose of committing a sexual offense in February and was also required by Judge Jonathan Karesh not to have with the victim and the school for 10 years at his sentencing hearing Friday.

At 10:30 p.m., another man in his 50s was in his home on the 900 block of Ethedore Street when he heard screaming from outside his front window. The man saw Wilson bent over in the street and went outside to ask him if he needed help. Wilson is said to have told the man to get away from him and shot him twice, once in the abdomen and once in the arm, according to prosecutors.

On Feb. 20 after a 10-day jury trial, Wilson was found not guilty of attempted murder and guilty of felony assault with a deadly weapon. The jury also found enhancements that he used a firearm and inflicted great bodily injury to be true, according to prosecutors. District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe commended Judge Donald Ayoob for sentencing Wilson to a lengthy prison term, noting the community will be protected because of his judgment. “This is a dangerous individual and that’s why Judge Ayoob got it right,” he said. “We’re fortunate this is not a murder case.” Wilson’s defense attorney Gerritt Rutgers could not be immediately reached for comment.

Wagstaffe said the case is a reminder to all parents to remain vigilant about their children’s activities. “While technology is spectacular, parents still have a duty to monitor it because you just don’t know who is out there,” he said.

When Whiteman was initially charged, Terry Lee, the Nueva School’s associate head of school, confirmed Whiteman had not been employed by the school since the summer of 2017 and that a background check had been successfully completed. District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said the victim’s parents gave a very emotional statement in court Friday, and that Whiteman’s wife asked the court for leniency and said he had no bad intentions.

Crews remove radioactive materials found in a shed By Kathleen Kirkwood and Keith Burbank BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE

State officials on Friday partially catalogued and removed radioactive material found in a shed behind a vacant San Carlos home, fire officials said. The California Department of Public Health and other agencies were at the home on the 1000 block of Cedar Street, where the material was discovered Thursday afternoon in the backyard shed, said Redwood City Fire Chief Stan Maupin, whose department serves the city of San Carlos. The home was formerly occupied by Ronald Seefred, a retired scientist who had worked at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory at Menlo Park. Seefred died in January at age 82. The radioactive materials were discovered while the home was being prepared for sale, Maupin said. Fire officials said the materials discovered include Cobalt 57 and Radium 226, and were in several small vials in very small quantities. But Ephrime Mekuria, a physicist with the state public health department, said they found Radium but not Cobalt. Friday afternoon the materials were being

Then the materials will be stored in a radioactive storage facility in the city. The material is not considered to be a threat to the community, and the challenge is sorting through the material and cataloguing it, in order to remove it to the proper locations for disposal, Maupin said. It’s not known how it came to be at the property, or why it was brought there. Mekuria said, “A lot of scientists like to tinker” and added that this is not the first time radioactive material has been found in someone’s home. Cedar Street from Brittan to Arroyo avenues has reopened, San Mateo County sheriff’s officials said. No evacuations were ordered. City officials said on Friday that no radiation has been detected outside the shed and there is no threat to residents in the immediate vicinity. Mekuria said the material “was stored appropriately.”

Woman, 83, fatally struck by van in Belmont An elderly San Carlos woman was fatally struck by a minivan while crossing El Camino Real in Belmont early Friday morning, according to police. The collision occurred at El Camino Real and Fifth Avenue around 6:45 a.m. The victim, 83, was walking with a walker on the south side of the intersection where there is no marked crosswalk — the north side includes a crosswalk and pedestrian crossing signs — when she was hit, said police Capt. Patrick Halleran. Officers found the victim down in the road, she was treated at the scene and then taken to a hospital, where she was pronounced deceased, according to a press release.  The driver, 80, was traveling south on El Camino Real at the time, below the 35 mph speed limit and was not under the influence

The driver is fully cooperating with investigators, he added. “It’s preferred pedestrians use the crosswalk [on the north side of the intersection], but we’re still looking into the exact circumstances of the collision,” he said. Halleran added that a vehicle and motorcycle collided at that intersection in January and the last time a pedestrian was struck there was in 2021. That collision resulted in minor injuries, he said. “We always look at every accident to see if we can prevent them in the future and we’ll be looking at possible improvements at the intersection,” Halleran said, adding that the road is owned by Caltrans and any pedestrian upgrades would ultimately be up to that agency.

Around the nation Judges declare Ohio’s congressional map unconstitutional

White supremacists plead guilty in Charlottesville riot THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CINCINNATI — A of federal judges ruled Friday that Ohio’s congressional districts were unconstitutionally drawn by the Republicans for their political advantage, and it ordered a new map for the 2020 elections. The ruling, if it stands, could prove an important victory for the Democrats, who are hoping redrawn boundaries will not only help them pick up House seats but also energize voters and boost turnout in this longtime battleground state, helping them defeat President Donald Trump. Republican officials said they would appeal. The unanimously declared the current map an “unconstitutional partisan gerrymander,” saying the GOPcontrolled Ohio Legislature put the Democrats at a disadvantage by packing lots of them into four districts and scattering the rest across the remaining 12.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Two of a white supremacist group pleaded guilty Friday to federal rioting charges in connection with a white nationalist rally in Virginia and political rallies in California. Benjamin Drake Daley, 26, of Redondo Beach, California, and Michael Paul Miselis, 30, of Lawndale, California, each pleaded guilty to a single count of conspiracy to riot. Daley and Miselis are the last of four of the Rise Above Movement indicted in Virginia to plead guilty. The militant white supremacist group was known for having who train

in mixed martial arts street-fighting techniques. Two other of the group — Cole White and Thomas Gillen — each previously pleaded guilty to the same charge. All four men itted they punched and kicked demonstrators who showed up to protest against white nationalists during a torch-lit march at the University of Virginia and the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville in August 2017. The men were indicted in October on two charges: traveling to incite riots and conspiracy to riot. Prosecutors said photos and video footage showed the men attacking

counterprotesters in Charlottesville and also participating in violence at political rallies the same year in Huntington Beach and Berkeley, California. Each man faces up to five years in prison on the charge, but defendants often get less than the maximum under federal sentencing guidelines. An attorney representing Miselis did not immediately return a call seeking comment Friday. Daley moved to dismiss the charges against him, arguing that the federal Anti-Riot Act is unconstitutional because it is overbroad and vague, and infringes on First Amendment activities. The judge denied his request.

Baltimore shifts to new political era after mayor resigns BALTIMORE — Baltimore’s new mayor has vowed to clean up the city after being thrust into office by his predecessor’s resignation amid corruption investigations, but he inherits serious, longstanding problems that have plagued previous istrations. Bernard “Jack” Young, a longtime leader of the City Council, says he intends to serve only the remainder of former Mayor Catherine Pugh’s term and has no interest in running for mayor in 2020. If the Democrat doesn’t change his mind, his tenure would last just 1 1/2 years. “I wish him good luck, but I’m reserving my full because he seems apprehensive about being the mayor in the first place,” said Clayton “Mr. C” Guyton, a respected community organizer featured in “Charm City,” a recent documentary about Baltimore shot amid its ongoing scourge of intense violence.

Minneapolis to pay $20M to family of 911 caller slain by cop MINNEAPOLIS — Minneapolis will pay $20 million to the family of an unarmed woman shot by a police officer after she called 911 to report a possible crime, city leaders announced Friday — a move that comes just three days after the former officer was convicted of murder. The settlement reached with the family of Justine Ruszczyk Damond, a dual citizen of the U.S. and Australia, is believed to be the largest stemming from police violence in the state of Minnesota. It’s believed that Mohamed Noor is the first Minnesota officer to be convicted of murder for an on-duty shooting. Asked about the amount and speed of the settlement, Mayor Jacob Frey cited Noor’s unprecedented conviction, as well as the officer’s failure to identify a threat before he used deadly force.

Hiring surge lifts economy, Trump’s re-election chance By Steve Peoples and Christopher Rugaber THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — The lowest unemployment rate in a half century. More than 260,000 new jobs. And higher hourly wages. “I’ll be running on the economy,” President Donald Trump declared on Friday. And why wouldn’t he? The day’s new round of sunny employment figures offered fresh evidence of a strong national economy — and a big political advantage for Trump just as the 2020 presidential campaign begins to intensify. Stocks are at or near record levels , too, as the president often notes. Democrats pointed to regional disparities in the new government report. And overall income inequality hasn’t narrowed. But the Democrats who are fighting to deny the Republican president a second term are beginning to acknowledge the weight of their challenge: Since World War II, no incumbent president has ever lost re-election in a growing economy. Even Trump’s critics are forced to it the state of the economy could help him at the ballot box. “Relative to all the other terrible aspects of Trump’s record, the economy is more of an asset to him,” said Geoff Garin, a veteran pollster whose clients include Priorities USA, the most powerful super PAC in Democratic politics. Indeed, it was a day of celebration for Trump and his allies, who have been well aware of recent warnings that the economy might slow this year. The president’s chief economic adviser, Larry Kudlow, said the United States has entered “a very strong and durable prosperity cycle.” He gave all the credit to his boss: “He is president of the whole economy.” By most measures, the U.S. economy is in solid shape. It is expanding at a roughly 3% pace, businesses are posting more jobs than there are unemployed workers and wage growth, long the economy’s weak spot, has picked up.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump and Russia’s Vladimir Putin discussed what Trump again dismissed as the “Russian Hoax” in their first known phone call since the release of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report on Russia’s extensive meddling during the 2016 election campaign. Putin chuckled about Mueller’s conclusions, Trump said. During their conversation on Friday, which the White House and Kremlin said lasted more than an hour, they also discussed a possible three-party arms control pact with China, North Korea’s nuclear weapons program, Ukraine and the crisis in Venezuela, where Moscow is propping up the current government over the U.S.-backed opposition. “We had a good conversation about many things,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. Trump said the two leaders were considering a new nuclear agreement “where we make less and they make less. And maybe even where we get rid of some of the tremendous firepower that we have right now.” He said they had discussed the possibility of including China in the deal and that China would “very much would like to be a part of” it.

Donald Trump and Russia’s President Vladimir Putin shake hands. But more interesting, perhaps, was what was left unsaid. Trump said that, at no point, did he warn Putin not to meddle in the next election. And while he and Putin did discuss Mueller’s findings , they appeared to gloss over Mueller’s description of the extensive efforts Russia took to interfere in the 2016 election, including the 25 Russians indicted for that effort. “We discussed it,” Trump said of the report. “He actually sort of smiled when he said something to the effect that, ‘It started off as a mountain and it

ended up being a mouse,”’ Trump said of Putin. “But he knew that because he knew there was no collusion whatsoever. So pretty much that’s what it was.” Trump has repeatedly declined to publicly rebuff Putin for the 2016 operation. And their latest conversation suggests that Mueller’s findings have done little to persuade Trump of the gravity of the threat of foreign election interference or derail his efforts to forge a closer relationship with Putin.

Barr besieged by allegations he’s being Trump’s protector By Eric Tucker THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — Attorney General William Barr portrayed himself as an apolitical elder statesman at his confirmation hearing. He declared he’d rather resign than be asked to fire special counsel Robert Mueller without cause and insisted the prosecutor he’d known for decades would never involve himself in a witch hunt as the president claimed. But now Barr has emerged as arguably the most divisive figure in Donald Trump’s istration. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi accused him on Thursday of lying — a charge the Justice Department called reckless and

false — and House Democrats are poised to hold him in contempt. His appearance before the Senate J u d i c i a r y Committee this week accelerated William Barr calls for his resignation after he said Trump had been falsely accused and he spun politically damning episodes in Mueller’s report in the president’s favor. Barr might have seemed an unlikely lightning rod given his long government career, his distance from Trump’s inner circle and his age, 68, that he

said made him unconcerned with political advancement. But he had telegraphed his sympathetic view of strong presidential powers — surely a useful viewNancy Pelosi point for Trump — in a memo to the Justice Department last year that criticized Mueller’s Trump-Russia obstruction of justice investigation. His latest testimony, including that Trump’s actions weren’t criminal, reaffirmed that philosophy and, to critics, established Barr as the president’s protector.

Ebola outbreak deaths top 1,000 in Congo By Saleh Mwanamilongo and Krista Larson THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KINSHASA, Congo — More than 1,000 people have died from Ebola in eastern Congo since August, the country’s health minister said Friday as hostility toward health workers continues to hamper efforts to contain the second-deadliest outbreak of the virus. Health Minister Oly Ilunga told the Associated Press that four deaths in the outbreak’s epicenter of Katwa helped push the death toll to 1,008. Two more deaths were reported in the city of Butembo. The outbreak declared almost nine months ago already had caused the most deaths behind the 2014-2016 outbreak in West Africa’s Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia that killed more than 11,000 people. A volatile security situation and deep community mistrust have hampered efforts to control the epidemic in eastern Congo. Ebola treatment centers have come under repeated attack, leaving government health officials to staff clinics in the hotspots of Butembo and Katwa. International aid organizations stopped their work in the two communities because of the violence. A Cameroonian epidemiologist working with WHO was killed last month during an assault on a hospital in Butembo. Insecurity has become a “major impediment” to controlling the Ebola outbreak,

Medical staff and an Ebola survivor treat Ebola patient Ibrahim Mupalalo inside the Biosecure Emergency Care Unit (CUBE) at the ALIMA (The Alliance for International Medical Action) Ebola treatment centre in Beni, in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Michael Ryan, WHO’s health emergencies chief, told reporters in Geneva earlier Friday. He said 119 attacks have been recorded since January, 42 of them directed at health facilities, while 85 health workers have been wounded or killed. Dozens of rebel groups operate in the region, and political

rivalries in part drive’s community rejection of health personnel. “Every time we have managed to regain control over the virus and contain its spread, we have suffered major, major security events,” Ryan said. “We are anticipating a scenario of continued intense transmission” of the disease.

WHO has said the most recent Ebola outbreak remained contained to eastern Congo even as the number of cases rises in a dense, highly mobile population near the border with Uganda and Rwanda. Many people fear going to Ebola treatment centers, choosing instead to stay at home and risk transmitting the disease from the virus to caretakers and neighbors. Residents of highly volatile Butembo believe Ebola was brought to the city on purpose, said Vianney Musavuli, 24. “I am deeply saddened to learn that the number of Ebola deaths has exceeded 1,000,” Musavuli said “The problem is that people here in this area believe Ebola is a political thing, and that’s why residents are still attacking the teams in retaliation.” Area residents were blocked from taking part in a January presidential election, with Congo’s government citing safety concerns. Some wonder why money is poured into fighting Ebola when many more people die each year of malaria and other preventable diseases. Insecurity also has prevented vaccination teams from getting to some areas, further limiting the health response. Still, more than 109, 000 people have received an experimental but effective Ebola vaccine. Ryan said authorities are looking at introducing another one. He called for more help from Congo and elsewhere to close an “urgent, critical gap” of some $54 million in containment funding.

North Korea fires an unidentified short-range missile THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea on Saturday fired several unidentified shortrange projectiles into the sea off its eastern coast, the South Korean t Chiefs of Staff said, a likely sign of Pyongyang’s growing frustration at stalled diplomatic talks with Washington meant to provide coveted sanc-

tions relief in return for nuclear disarmament. The South initially reported a single missile was fired, but later issued a statement that said “several projectiles” had been launched and that they flew up to 200 kilometers (125 miles) before splashing into the sea toward the northeast. South Korea’s military has bolstered its

surveillance in case there are additional weapons launches, and South Korean and U.S. authorities are analyzing the details. If it’s confirmed that the North fired banned ballistic missiles, it will be the first such launch since the North’s November 2017 test of an intercontinental ballistic missile. That year saw a string of increasingly powerful weapons tests from the North and a belligerent response from President Donald Trump that had many in the region fearing war. The firing Saturday comes amid a diplomatic breakdown that has followed the failed summit earlier this year between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un over the North’s pursuit of nuclear bombs that can

accurately target the U.S. mainland. Experts believe that the North has viable shorter range nuclear armed missiles but still needs more tests to perfect its longer-range weapons. During the diplomacy that followed the North’s weapons tests of 2017, Kim Jong Un said that the North would not test nuclear devices or ICBMs. These short-range projectiles don’t appear to violate that self-imposed moratorium, and may instead be a way to Kim’s displeasure with Washington and the state of talks meant to provide sanctions relief for disarmament without having the diplomacy collapse.

Suspensions and expulsions serve a purpose By Charlie Chapman

O

n April 22, the California State Senate voted 30-8 in favor of Senate Bill 419. This proposed law would ban the practice of suspending K-12 students for being disruptive in both public and charter schools. Under current law, students in kindergarten through third-grade cannot be suspended for willful defiance, a protection that would be extended to students in all remaining grades until Jan. 1, 2025. While the bill may appear to be a promising way to keep students in school, its implementation would hamper the ability of teachers and s to maintain a healthy classroom environment. Placing a complete ban on suspending students for disruption assumes that teachers and s cannot be trusted with responsibly applying the practice in a fair and effective way. In my own personal experience attending public schools for the last 13 years, it would be hard to characterize faculty as overzealous with punishment, as the only suspensions I have seen are for gross violations of school safety policies. Students are largely afforded numerous chances to fix their behavior, and I have always perceived teachers as truly interested in making sure their students have the opportunity to learn. Additionally, the assumption that teachers currently have free will to suspend or expel students at will is false. The education code has already codified what conduct warrants specif-

ic punishments and sets guidelines for how these punishments should be carried out. The impetus for this legislation is an attempt to help keep students in school, especially those who are minorities or those with disabilities. State Sen. Nancy Skinner, D-Berkeley, who wrote the bill, said that such students “are disproportionately suspended for lowlevel subjective offenses.” Even if such inequities were proven to be the result of prejudice on the part of s, it would not necessitate the complete removal of suspension as an option. The correct solution to address the unjust application of the rules would be to introduce increased oversight to ward off potential discrimination. A blanket ban of suspension is an oversimplified reaction to a complex problem that requires a thoughtful and careful solution. The true victims of this policy will be the classmates of students who routinely disrupt class and defy any attempts to change their behavior. Unlike prison, where the act of imprisonment fulfills a moral purpose of demanding payment to society for wrongdoing, the purpose of suspensions is to protect the ability of other students to learn. In public schools, teachers and s have to look out for the well being and academic needs of the entire class, and unfortunately, that some-

times means suspension and expulsion. Students who are interested in learning have a right to a healthy classroom environment and teachers should be given the tools to facilitate it. It is impossible to deny that it is unfortunate whenever students are removed from school. In an ideal world, each student should have the opportunity and resources needed to come to school every day and succeed to the best of their abilities. Every attempt should be made to help even the most disruptive and defiant students, such as providing alternative education options, as the San Mateo Union High School District does. However, discipline is still required in certain cases to preserve the order needed to have a classroom environment conducive to learning. Hamstringing s by ing this bill into law would make it more difficult for students to succeed and will not help defiant students get the help they need.

Letters to the editor Turmoil in Venezuela Editor, Even with backing from the Trump istration, Juan Guaidó failed to oust Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro. It is difficult to reconcile our outrage over Russia’s interference in our elections with our present interference in Venezuela’s affairs. I’m sure everyone would agree that Venezuelans deserve a better government. But let’s face it, the late Hugo Chávez’s vision of a modern day “Bolivarian revolution” — a Latin American political block with a socialist bent as an alternative to U.S. hegemony — has descended into repression and economic decline under Maduro. That said, the U.S. shouldn’t be the ones to determine what Venezuela should look like. Our interference in Venezuela follows a long and sordid history of U.S. intervention in Latin America. As the

Mister clean Y

ears ago, as a Boy Scout, I learned what I consider to be a very valuable life lesson. I learned to leave a place cleaner than I found it. At the end of every campout, after we had stowed our tents and repacked our backpacks, the entire troop lined up side to side, an arm’s length apart, at one edge of the campground. We then slowly swept across the entire campground, picking up everything we found, whether or not our troop had been responsible for it. As a group activity, I found it quite enjoyable. And when we hiked out, taking the trash with us, we did so proudly, knowing that we’d done our part to improve the campsite for others. Last Saturday, I finally managed to do something similar for Redwood City, when I participated in one of its cleanup days. Twice each year, Redwood City’s Pride and Beautification Committee identifies a handful of areas around the city that need help, and then organizes a work day to clean them up. Volunteers gather at the city’s Corporation Yard (at the corner of Broadway and Chestnut Street), where they receive their tools and select their work area from the list of sites. This work day took place on a bright and beautiful Saturday, and ran from 8:30 a.m. until noon. Thanks to the generosity of two different organizations, breakfast was waiting for the estimated 250 to 300 volunteers who arrived, and a mouthwatering barbecue lunch was waiting when we were done. We had only to wear appropriate clothing, since the city providGreg Wilson ed heavy-duty “grabbers” (with which you can pick up trash without having to constantly stoop over), trash bags, gloves and bright orange safety vests. Tools in hand, we selected one of the designated project sites. On this particular day, we had seven sites from which to choose, including Redwood Creek, Union Cemetery and Bair Island. Bair Island sounded tempting, but some large groups — including a local church and two Cub Scout packs — had volunteered to help that day, and one of them appeared to be heading to Bair Island. Instead, I opted to help at an area with fewer volunteers, and thus I soon found myself heading to the intersection of Maple and Lathrop streets. Maple Street intersects Lathrop Street midway between El Camino Real and the Caltrain tracks, about a block from the Main & Elm restaurant. Our area was not cleanly defined, but was simply whatever we had time and resources to cover, working outward from the intersection. In total, our group consisted of about eight or 10 people, but we split up and mostly worked in groups of two or three. That worked well, enabling us to cover the area from El Camino Real to the Main Street Dog Agility Park, and from Chestnut Street to Maple Street (and even farther up Franklin Street). We cleaned around the dog park itself as well as within the city-owned dirt lot bounded by Redwood Creek, Maple Street and Lathrop Street, a property that one day may host a small community garden. In this particular lot, we found a large accumulation of trash along with a small, momentarily empty, homeless encampment. Although we stayed away from the encampment (we reported it to the city, as instructed), there was enough other debris on the property for us to call in a garbage truck, which arrived promptly and made short work of the mess. Mostly, though, my morning consisted primarily of walking slowly along sidewalks and picking up all of the trash I could see and reach. I amused myself by refining my technique with my grabber. I got quite good at picking up small things with this handy aluminum tool, only rarely having to resort to picking something up by hand. Cigarette butts, in particular, proved no problem for my grabber — except for the fact that there were so many of them. I couldn’t help thinking that the world would be a much cleaner place if people didn’t smoke. By noon we were done. We left our trash bags in the designated spot — a city truck came by and picked up the bags — and returned to the Corporation Yard to turn in our tools and enjoy lunch. All told, we collected more than 2.5 tons of trash that day, a very respectable haul. The occasional “thank you” I received from ing motorists was a nice bonus; it’s nice to know our efforts weren’t entirely unnoticed. I had a great time, and met some wonderful people. I definitely plan to volunteer for the next cleanup day, which will be in September. I’m glad I’ve found a way to help Redwood City, and I love that it enables me to leave the city a little cleaner than when I found it.

Stocks end broadly higher on solid jobs report By Alex Veiga

DOW JONES INDUSTRIALS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A solid jobs report and company earnings spurred U.S. stocks broadly higher Friday, driving the S&P 500 to its second straight weekly gain. The Nasdaq composite hit an all-time high for the second time this week. The benchmark S&P 500 index closed less than 0.1% below the record high it reached on Tuesday. Technology and consumer-focused companies did the most to push the market higher. Stocks in the communications, industrial, financial and health care sectors also notched solid gains as traders cheered surprisingly good earnings from United States Steel, Weight Watchers and other companies. Investors also welcomed the government’s latest snapshot of U.S. employment, which showed that job growth surged in April past economists’ forecasts and unemployment fell to a five-decade low. “Overall, this was a solid report that should assuage fears that the U.S. economy is losing momentum,” said Quincy Krosby, chief market strategist at Prudential Financial. The S&P 500 index gained 28.12 points, or 1%, to 2,945.64. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 197.16 points, or 0.7%, to 26,504.95. The Nasdaq composite climbed 127.22 points, or 1.6%, to 8,164. Small-company stocks rose much more than the rest of the market, a bullish sign indicating that investors are more willing to take on risk. The Russell 2000 index picked up 31.37 points, or 2%, to 1,614.02. Major indexes in Europe also closed higher. Bond prices rose, sending the yield on the

Despite a modest pullback earlier in the week, U.S. stocks have continued to press higher, extending their impressive recovery this year following a steep slump at the end of 2018. The S&P 500 is now up 17.5% for the year. The Nasdaq is leading the way, however, with a gain of 23%. The Federal Reserve fueled the market’s recovery earlier this year when it signaled that it would take a patient approach to raising interest rates. Traders also have been encouraged by positive data on the U.S. economy and better-than-expected corporate earnings. Corporate earnings for the first quarter have come in mixed so far, but good enough

to ease worries that company profits would slump overall. On Friday, United States Steel surged 17.3% after a sharp increase in sales helped push profit far beyond Wall Street forecasts. Newell Brands, which makes Sharpie and Elmer’s products, surged 13.5% on a solid earnings report. Monster Beverage jumped 8.8% after the energy drinks company powered past analysts’ first quarter profit forecast. The company reported a solid increase in sales of its namesake energy drink that helped drive a surge in profit. Weight Watchers surged 13% after reporting losses for the first quarter that were much slimmer than expected. The company also raised its profit forecast for the year.

Musk doubles down on investment as Tesla raises capital goal By Tom Krisher THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DETROIT — Tesla CEO Elon Musk is more than doubling the stock he will buy in a new public offering in an apparent bid to earn investors’ confidence as he tries to turn around his struggling electric car company. Musk raised his latest investment from $10 million to $25 million on Friday as Tesla boosted the size of a note-and-stock offering to raise much needed capital to keep the company going.

tion of his ownership stake, he added. Musk is by far the company’s largest shareholder, holding about 20 percent of the company’s outstanding shares. The offer, detailed in a filing Friday with the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission, includes up to $1.84 billion in notes that pay 2% annual interest and convert to Tesla common stock in 2024. Also included are more than 3.5 million new shares worth as much as $866 million. The new numbers include underwriting brokers exercising their full options to buy additional notes and shares. Last week, Tesla reported its cash balance at the end of the first quarter shrunk by $1.5 billion since December, to $2.2 billion. Musk said during a conference call that Tesla might need to raise capital again.

The company will use the proceeds to “further strengthen our balance sheet, as well as for general corporate purposes,” the filing says. But the offerings would raise the company’s debt from $9.79 billion to as high as $11.63 billion, with the company itting in its filing that it may not be able to generate enough cash to make all of the payments. “If we are unable to generate such cash flow, we may be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as reducing or delaying investments or capital expenditures, selling assets, refinancing or obtaining additional equity capital on that may be onerous or highly dilutive,” the company wrote in the part of the filing that discusses risk factors.

Last year, the nonprofit’s call to action was about the separation of immigrant families. “This year we said the call to action is how can we get more Latinos in tech and that’s why we put this together with folks who are local and to get that message out.” Ron Gonzalez, president of the Hispanic Foundation of Silicon Valley and the former mayor of San Jose, moderated the discussion and kicked it off with a few words and statistics about Latino representation in tech. Gonzalez said that while Latinos comprise just 3% of the high-tech workforce, that number includes all positions, including marketing and finance roles, for example, while estimates suggest Latinos for just 1% of the technical roles. “We have a long way to go,” he said. Gonzalez wants to see tech companies step out of their “comfort zone” and recruit Latinos at universities such as San Jose State, which graduates more engineers annually than the University of California, Berkeley; Stanford University; and Santa Clara University combined; or University of Texas El Paso, which has led the nation in producing engineers for 30 years, he said.

Norfolk St. into a multi-purpose facility, converting Fire Station 25 in the Borel neighborhood into a space with sleeping quarters once a new station is built on the same block and identifying space where those facilities can stand on cityowned property or within community-based facilities are among the options officials may weigh at their Monday study session, according to a staff report. City Manager Drew Corbett explained eight beds are currently provided in two separated barrack rooms at the San Mateo Police Department at 200 Franklin Parkway to give officers working overtime or expected to make a court appearance a chance to sleep between especially long shifts. But he said the barracks are increasingly being used by officers weighing whether it makes sense to drive home between shifts lasting just over 11 hours four days at a time, a typical shift rotation. Positioned between a fitness facility and a locker room, the barracks have not been

ist and first generation Redwood City native Ashley Quintana shared her post-college path that resulted in her current role as public policy manager at Facebook. She credited summer programs growing up and regularly networking for getting her to where she is today. “If it wasn’t for the summer programs I was involved with I don’t think I’d be here today. Nonprofits and mentors are the key to Latino success and if you’re a young

ist Sarahi Selamanca, a formerly undocumented immigrant from Mexico who moved to Redwood City at the age of 4, is the founder of the Dreamers Roap app, which helps undocumented students across the country find scholarships to go to college. The app was developed because of Selamanca’s own high school experience when, after being denied financial aid, her counselor told her “students like me didn’t go to college.” “And I believed her,” she said. “Little did I know there’s about 65,000 students in this country going through the same situation and there was very little to no information out there for us on what were the next steps and what to do.” The app began as a blog on which she posted scholarship opportunities for stu-

dents such as herself. After seeing a Facebook post for Mark Zuckerberg’s “Hackathon” app contest, she submitted her concept. The post called for dreamers who could code and Selamanca met only one of those requirements. “I think one of the keys is ion and being very honest up front,” she said. “I told them on my first interview I have no idea how to code, but I am a very good leader, I’m very good with time management, I can lead a team. So I kind of sold myself on my strengths and not let that one requirement stop me from pursuing this opportunity.” She was one of 20 dreamers in the country who was selected and went on to win the contest along with $100,000 to develop the app, which in three years has helped over 30,000 students get into or graduate from college. It also earned her a spot on Forbes’ 30 under 30 list. “That was the space and time in my life that shifted and made me believe that I did belong in tech, that despite the fact that I was an immigrant, that I was undocumented and a woman, there were so many talented people of color that wanted to use their skills to build solutions to problems that we were living in at that moment,” she said. Other ists included Alexis Arreola, IT construction project specialist at the San Mateo County Community College District; Gonzalo Juarez, CEO of eTips; Sylvio Flores, Manos Accelerator — the Latino Gateway to Silicon Valley; and Javier Gonzalez, government affairs and public policy manager at Google. Amber Gonzales-Vargas, senior program manager for the Latino Community Foundation, was one of the s.

ideal sleeping quarters given the high volume of noises on both sides of its walls, according to the report. With even more employees in need of using the space to get rest between shifts, officials have been searching for alternatives, noted Corbett. “It’s just been exacerbated by the sheer volume of people,” he said. Corbett said the issue has surfaced at least twice in recent discussions with the City Council, spurring an effort to better understand the extent of the issue and possible solutions. Though demand for the barracks has risen to the point where they are being used around the clock, some officers have opted to regularly spend the night on couches with family or friends to get rest between shifts. With only 25 line-level officers living within San Mateo County, more than two-thirds of the city’s frontline officers are commuting from another county to San Mateo daily and face an average commute distance of 50 miles each way, according to the report. According to a San Mateo Police Officers Association survey to which 85% of officers responded, the average round-trip commute time officers face is one hour and 52 minutes. Those traveling from outside San Mateo County spend an average of two

hours and 17 minutes in their roundtrip commutes, according to the survey. According to the report, city staff is currently analyzing a threefold increase in the number of injuries sustained by San Mateo police officers recorded in the last five years. By regularly getting fewer than six hours of sleep a night, San Mateo police officers are at greater risk for increased injury, according to the report, which referenced research showing fatigued officers use more sick leave, experience more injuries, practice inappropriate uses of force more frequently, become involved in more vehicle accidents, face more challenges dealing with community and have a higher likelihood of dying in the line of duty. Facing the region’s high cost of living and extended commutes, an increasing number of San Mateo police officers are considering and taking lateral positions closer to their homes, in part driving competition to recruit qualified candidates between law enforcement agencies. Daly City, Foster City and Atherton are among the local agencies already offering sleeping quarters in their police stations, according to the report. Though the San Mateo Police Officers Association has scoped the possibility of providing affordable or free community-

based sleeping quarters with apartment building owners, hotels and representatives of the San Mateo United Homeowners Association, city officials have expressed concerns about potential challenges that could arise with regard to city policies related to the acceptance of gifts. An option to repurpose Fire Station 26 to hold a police substation, vehicle storage and sleeping quarters is also up for review. Currently leased to American Medical Response as a rest facility, the facility could with minor renovations become a police substation on the city’s east side. Officials could also consider using the Fire Station 25 facility to house sleeping quarters once a new station is built on the same block, according to the report. Among the strategies the Redwood City Police Department and the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office have pursued is use of modular, portable residences that could be parked on city property. Officials could also review the possibility of purchasing or leasing a home or apartment building to provide sleeping quarters for officers, or work with hotels to provide rooms for officers at a set rate paid by the city, according to the report. The council meets 7 p.m. May 6 at City Hall, 330 W. 20th Ave.

He also said summer internships with companies is the pathway to a job or the “golden key” as he described it, and noted that retention is the greatest challenge facing both the technology industry and the Latino community. “The challenge I hear more and more from the younger people who do work in tech is they don’t feel comfortable, it’s the corporate culture of these companies and, excuse me, but this is the way they put it — that white boy frat party kind of atmosphere that they’re not interested in,” he said. “They feel like their contribution is making it possible for their company to be financially successful. … I think that’s the greatest challenge for these companies because it’s going to be the hardest thing for them to change.” One ist, Mark Madrid, CEO of Latino Business Action Network, noted that the technology workforce in America is 90% white or Asian and 70% male, adding that only 1% of tech investors are Latino. “All of this just multiplies troubling factors: the racial wealth gap, gender pay inequity and a lack of inclusive economics,” he said. “Our call to action today is urgent.”

Importance of networking

Latino student, connect with someone because you can’t do it alone,” she said. “I think networking is one of the most important things ever because you never know who they know, what they know, etc.” Quintana also stressed that one does not need to be in STEM [science, engineering, technology and math] to be in tech. “Yes, STEM is important and yes there are so many great opportunities out there, but you can also be in policy or — kids don’t realize Facebook is a company where 60% is technical, but the rest isn’t,” she said, adding that the required qualifications of a job should not get in the way of applying to it. “If you want to apply to any of the tech companies, do it. … My job when it became full time said five-plus years [of experience] and I don’t even have five years.”

Campaign staffers being trained to handle cyber threats THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — While candidates were focused on campaigning in 2016, Russians were carrying out a devastating cyber operation that changed the landscape of American politics, with aftershocks continuing well into Donald Trump’s presidency. And it all started with the click of a tempting email and a typed-in . Whether presidential campaigns have learned from the cyberattacks is a critical question ahead as the 2020 election

JOBS Continued from page 1 Kudlow, director of the White House’s National Economic Council. President Donald Trump has also pressed the Federal Reserve to cut short-term interest rates because inflation remains low. But most economists said the healthy jobs picture, against the backdrop of low inflation, would reinforce the Fed’s current wait-andsee approach. The Fed raised rates four times last year but has signaled that it doesn’t foresee any rate increases this year. Stock investors welcomed Friday’s jobs data. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 135 points, or 0.5%, in mid-day trading. The brightening economic picture represents a sharp improvement from the start of the year. At the time, the government was enduring a partial shutdown, the stock market had plunged, trade tensions between the United States and China were flaring and the Fed had just raised short-term rates in

Lockner is said to have been working an evening shift at the fast-food restaurant when she made repeated trips to the restroom that evening, citing stomach pain. At around 10 p.m., her manager suggested she go home but, even after clocking out of her shift, Lockner stayed at the restaurant in the restroom, according to prosecutors.

Preventing the attacks won’t be easy or cheap. “If you are the Pentagon or the NSA, you have the most skilled adversaries in the world trying to get in but you also have some of the most skilled people working defense,” said Robby Mook, who ran Hillary Clinton’s campaign in 2016. “Campaigns are facing similar adversaries, and they don’t have similar resources and virtually no expertise.” Traditionally, cybersecurity has been a lower priority for candidates, especially at

the early stages of a campaign. They need to raise money, hire staff, pay office rents, lobby for endorsements and travel repeatedly to early voting states. Particularly during primary season, campaign managers face difficult spending decisions: Air a TV ad targeting a key voting demographic or invest in a more robust security system for computer networks? “You shouldn’t have to choose between getting your message out to voters and keeping the Chinese from reading your emails,” said Mook, now a senior fellow with the

Defending Digital Democracy Project at the Harvard Kennedy School’s Belfer Center. Mook has been helping develop a plan for a nonprofit to provide cybersecurity and resources directly to campaigns. The Department of Homeland Security’s cyber agency is offering help, and there are signs that some Democratic campaigns are willing to take the uncomfortable step of working with an istration they are trying to unseat. DHS has had about a dozen initial discussions with campaigns so far, officials said.

December. Analysts worried that the economy might barely expand in the first three months of the year. Yet the outlook soon brightened. Chair Jerome Powell signaled that the Fed would put rate hikes on hold. Trade negotiations between the U.S. and China made some progress. The economic outlook in some other major economies improved. Share prices rebounded. And in the end, the government reported that the U.S. economy grew at a 3.2% annual rate in the January-March period — the strongest pace for a first quarter since 2015. That said, the growth was led mostly by factors that could prove temporary — a restocking of inventories in warehouses and on store shelves and a narrowing of the U.S. trade deficit. By contrast, consumer spending and business investment, which more closely reflect the economy’s underlying strength, were relatively weak. But American households have become more confident since the winter and are ramping up spending. Consumer spending surged in March by the most in nearly a decade. A likely factor is that steady job

growth and solid wage increases have enlarged Americans’ paychecks. Businesses are also spending more freely. Orders to U.S. factories for long-lasting capital goods jumped in March by the most in eight months. That suggested that companies were buying more computers, machinery and other equipment to keep up with growing customer demand. Many businesses say they’re struggling to find workers, yet each month they seem to add a substantial number. Some have taken a range of steps to fill jobs, including training more entry-level workers, loosening educational requirements and raising pay sharply. Years of steady hiring have sharply lowered unemployment for a range of population groups. The unemployment rate for women fell last month to 3.1%, the lowest point since 1953. The rate for Latinos dropped to 4.2%, a record low since 1973, when the government began tracking the data. For Asians, joblessness has matched a record low of 2.2%. And the unemployment rate for veterans of the Iraq and Afghan wars

dropped to 1.7%, also a record low. Most of last month’s job growth occurred in services, which includes both higherpaying jobs in information technology and lower-paying temporary work. Manufacturers added just 4, 000 jobs. Construction firms gained 33,000, mostly on public infrastructure projects. Professional and business services, which include IT networking jobs as well as ants and engineers, led the gains with 76,000. Education and health care added 62,000 jobs, while a category that mostly includes restaurants and hotels gained 34,000. Retailers, however, continued to cut jobs, shedding 12,000 in April, the third straight months of cuts. The sector has eliminated 49,000 jobs in the past year even as the economy has picked up. Retailers are suffering from broader changes in the economy as more Americans are shopping online and stores close after decades of overexpansion. Also to blame is an aging U.S. population that no longer needs to buy as much clothing and other goods.

second employee checked on her, she looked over Lockner’s stall and saw her holding the baby facedown in the toilet bowl. The employee said she heard the toilet flush when she stepped down and alerted police, despite Lockner’s request that she not alert authorities, according to prosecutors. Though the child was without a pulse and not breathing when police arrived, he responded to emergency care at the hospital. Lockner is believed to have told police at the scene she didn’t know she was pregnant and was surprised the baby was born, according to prosecutors. Defense attorney Jonathan McDougall has previously tried to have Lockner’s charges thrown out, even bringing to the stand a witness who could attest to a prior incident in which she was allegedly unaware she was pregnant and gave birth to her now 4-year-old child. In that situation,

Lockner reportedly walked into the bathroom of her apartment while her boyfriend and aunt were there and came out with a newborn baby. None of the parties, including Lockner, were aware she was pregnant at the time, according to prosecutors. McDougall also brought to the stand Dr. Cara Angelotta, a forensic psychiatrist at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine, who found Lockner’s behavior — including her lack of attention to her son’s medical needs following his birth — was a direct result of her severe and acute symptoms of pregnancy denial, according to a sentencing memo he filed May 3. Angelotta also diagnosed Lockner with post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of repeated acts of rape in her past, according to the memo. Though McDougall acknowledged Lockner’s actions nearly cost the life of her infant son and negatively affected her older son — who has not had his mother with him for the past two years — he looked to her dedication to becoming a better mother and a probation officer’s observation of Lockner’s remorse for her

actions as evidence probation is the appropriate punishment for his client. “As seen by those closest to her, Ms. Lockner’s actions are not the true person they know and love, ” he wrote in the memo. “She has accepted responsibility and devoted herself to becoming a better mother, and preventing any similar acts from ever occurring again.” District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said Lockner would also be required to complete counseling, take all the medication prescribed to her and abstain from drugs and alcohol. He said custody of the child will be determined at a later date in family court. The baby was reported to be healthy and living with his father’s aunt when Lockner took the plea deal in January. Wagstaffe said prosecutors continue to believe that prison is appropriate for someone who harmed a helpless newborn, but acknowledged Garratt’s decision to give Lockner another chance was reasonable. “The leniency Judge Garratt exercises here is fair and we’re going to find out what happens now,” he said.

Thrice is nice for M-A tennis By Nathan Mollat DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

A common sports cliché is that it’s hard to beat one team three times in the same season. The Menlo-Atherton boys’ tennis team put that adage to bed real quick as the sixthseeded Bears hosted Peninsula Athletic League rival Carlmont in the second round of the Central Coast Section team tournament. It was the third time the two teams have faced off, with M-A posting a pair of 7-0

wins. The third time was not the charm for the Scots as M-A got off to a quick start, winning the first set in all seven matches as the Bears cruised to their third sweep of the Scots without losing a set. “I’m always open to the possibility of an upset,” said M-A head coach Tom Sorenson. “So I’m pleased that didn’t happen.” There weren’t any upsets in the rest of the bracket either. The Bears will take on No. 3 Monta Vista in the quarterfinals 3 p.m. Monday at a site to be determined. The Matadors dropped only one match in a 6-1 win over Los Gatos.

Top-seeded Menlo cruised into the quarters as well with a 7-0 sweep of WBAL rival Harker. The Knights will face No. 8 Gunn, which beat Cupertino 5-2. Aragon, the third remaining county team, saw its season end with a 6-1 loss to No. 4 St. Ignatius. There really wasn’t much to worry about if you were an M-A player. Not only had the Bears beaten the Scots twice this season, they have beaten them 22 out of the last 23 times they have played them.

Giant Senior Day walk-off One comeback Falk delivers game-winner in Serra’s regular-season finale By Terry Bernal DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

S.F. wins after trailing by 8 for first time since 1989 By Joe Kay

Serra saved the best for last. The Padres (10-4 WCAL, 17-9 overall) have played eight one-run games this year. But the one thing they hadn’t done was walk-off on their home field — until Friday’s regular-season finale. The stage was set perfectly, with it being Serra’s Senior Day. Fittingly, a senior proved the hero Friday at Frisella Field as Christian Falk provided the game-winning hit in the bottom of the ninth to send the Padres home with a 3-2 win over Bellarmine (8-6, 13-12). “I think it means a lot for the guys to win this way, especially on Senior Day,” Serra manager Chris Houle said. “These are guys that have worked hard for four years and are getting to the end of the line for them. To be able to win a game like that, I think it’s pretty special.” With the win, Serra wrapped up sole possession of second place in the West Catholic Athletic League. A loss would have seen the Padres share second place with Bellarmine behind first-place Valley Christian. Serra is now 6-2 in one-run games this season. Falk — who also earned the win with one inning of scoreless relief — was swarmed in the middle of the diamond after delivering his second RBI single of the day. The senior was up against it, batting with the bases loaded and two outs, with a two-strike count. But Bellarmine reliever Sam Kim caught too much of the plate with an outside fastball, and Falk made him pay by scorching a single back through the middle to score Jeremy Villar with the game-winning run. “I’m just looking for a ball to barrel up and see if he can make a mistake, and do something with it,” Falk said. “I wasn’t expecting a strike but I got it, and I did something with it.”

CINCINNATI — Stephen Vogt hit a tying homer in the ninth inning, Evan Longoria connected in the 11th and the Giants rallied from an eight-run deficit for a 12-11 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Friday night. Down 8-0 after three innings, the Giants piled up three homers off the NL’s top bullpen to pull it out and ruin top prospect Nick Senzel’s debut for the Reds. The Giants were down Stephen Vogt to their final out when Vogt connected off Raisel Iglesias for his first homer, tying it 11-11. Longoria led off the 11th with a homer just inside the left field foul pole off Jared Hughes (2-1), allowing San Francisco to get the better of a matchup between the Evan Longoria NL’s two worst offenses. Reyes Moronta (1-2) escaped a threat in the 10th. Will Smith retired the side in the 11th for his eighth save in eight chances. Cincinnati surged ahead 8-0 as Derek Dietrich hit a pair of three-run homers of Tyler Beede, a former first-round pick who lasted only 2 1/3 innings. A big night for the majors’ worst offense — Cincinnati came in batting .207 — wasn’t enough. Senzel played a small role in a wild game. The second overall pick in the 2016 draft was called up and started in center field. Senzel got the loudest cheers in pregame introductions and went 1 for 5 with a pair of

CSM open playoffs with wins DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

The College of San Mateo softball and baseball teams kicked off the Northern California regional Friday with a pair of wins. The Lady Bulldogs, the top seed in Nor Cal, took out No. 16 Solano 7-1. The CSM baseball squad, seeded No. 7, held off a late Sierra rally to outlast the 10th-seeded Wolverines 43. Both will continue Saturday in the best-ofthree series. First pitch for baseball is 11 a.m., while softball starts at noon. An if-necessary third game will follow Saturday if CSM loses the first game. While it looked like the softball team cruised, CSM did not put the Falcons away until late. Leading 3-0, the Bulldogs scored four runs in the bottom of the sixth to give themselves some breathing room.

Ally Sarabia had the hit that broke the game open, mashing a two-run homer in the sixth. Riley Donovan added a two-run double, while Amanda Ubois-Weitenhagen drove in a run with her own double. Bella Zalba and Kaitlyn Grech had multiple hits for the Bulldogs. Zalba led the way with three knocks, while Grech added a pair. Emily McAdams improved to 27-1 in the circle this season with a complete-game effort. Solano scratched out its only run in the top of the seventh as McAdams scattered six hits while striking out 11. The CSM baseball team held Sierra scoreless until the top of the ninth. The Wolverines had one last gasp, scoring all their runs in their final at-bat before CSM’s Carlo Lopiccolo nailed down the save by getting the final out. Sophomore pitcher Sean Prozell got the

start, allowing one run on just three hits with six strikeouts as he worked into the ninth inning. Brett Karalius, who had broken into the starting rotation with a trio of outstanding starts, stumbled in relief of Prozell, allowing two runs on two hits as he retired just one batter. Offensively, the Bulldogs scored single runs in the fourth and sixth inning, and scored what turned out to be the game-winning runs with two in the bottom of the seventh. Shortstop Alec Ackerman did the bulk of the damage for CSM, driving in three runs while going 2 for 4 from the plate with a double and a triple. Danny Carnazzo picked up the Bulldogs’ other RBI. Leadoff hitter Christian Ontai set the table for CSM, finishing with three hits. Justin Torres and Ackerman each had a pair of hits in the win.

Scots stay in hunt for Bay title By Joe Roias DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

Carlmont senior Tyler DeSmidt hit a grand slam and totaled seven RBIs, while falling a triple short of hitting for the cycle, to lead the Scots to a key 15-5 win over Sacred Heart Prep. DeSmidt’s monstrous offensive performance drastically swung momentum in the Scots direction, and it led to Carlmont scoring in every inning except the first. “We’re starting to play really good ball. We’re peaking at the right time as playoffs approach and our confidence as a team rises the more momentum we build,” Carlmont manager Rich Vallero said. Both teams traded runs early on, but it was Carlmont (8-4, PAL Bay, 14-10 overall) who opened up the scoring in the bottom of the second. Senior Logan Snow hit an RBI sacrifice fly to center field to give the Scots a 1-0 lead. Scots starting pitcher Aiden Woodring was perfect through the first two innings until Sacred Heart Prep (5-7, 10-12-1) tied the game up at 1-1 with an RBI sac fly of

their own by senior Aidan Macaluso. Woodring pitched five innings and gave up two runs on two hits and had three strikeouts. Carlmont took the lead right back off of an error by the Gators second baseman. In the top of the fourth, Sacred Heart Prep tied the game again at 2-2 when sophomore Teddy Purcell hit an RBI groundout. The Gators pitching staff had some trouble with their command and it led to a dozen wild pitches. One of them allowed Carlmont senior Daniel Friis to score from third to give Carlmont a 3-2 lead. That was followed with RBI singles by Kevin Shea and DeSmidt, and it extended the Scots lead to three. Carlmont would have tacked on more runs, but an incredible leaping catch by Gators shortstop Yianni Gardner put a stop to the bleeding. The Scots started to pull away in the fifth by scoring five runs. Carlmont exploded for seven consecutive hits, and the bottom of the lineup kicked off the inning with a single and then three consecutive doubles extended the Carlmont lead to 8-2. The bottom of the lineup hit the ball well through-

out the game and contributed six of the teams 13 hits, and that included five RBIs and seven runs. Two more runs would come in to score when senior Sean Vanderaa hit an RBI single to left and DeSmidt hit an RBI double down the left field line. Sacred Heart Prep got outhit 13-6 and the lack of timely hitting with runners in scoring position ultimately cost them. Carlmont continued to put the pedal to the metal and scored another five runs to essentially put the game out of reach. After an RBI groundout set the score at 11-2, the bases were loaded with two outs for DeSmidt. His grand slam was an absolute bomb down the left field line, and it perfectly capped off an impressive offensive performance for the Carlmont senior. The Gators scored three runs in the final inning, but it was too little too late as the Scots closed the game out. The win puts Carlmont one game back from first place Burlingame. Sacred Heart Prep will need every win they can get as they battle Capuchino for the final playoff spot out of the Bay Division.

Sports brief NCAA rescinds ban on events in states with legal gambling INDIANAPOLIS — The NCAA has rescinded its policy prohibiting championship events from being held in states that have legalized sports gambling. The expected move was announced Friday. After last year’s Supreme Court decision that opened the door for states to sponsor legalize sports betting, the NCAA indefi-

TERRY BERNAL/DAILY JOURNAL

Serra catcher Omar Barraza celebrates a called third strike to end a bases-loaded jam in the top of the eighth inning of Serra’s 3-2, extra-inning win Friday at Frisella Field.

SERRA Continued from page 13 Serra was looking for clutch hits all day but couldn’t find them, stranding 10 runners on base through the first eight innings. But it was the three runners Bellarmine stranded in the top of the eighth that loomed largest. With Serra right-hander Benito ValleJanda in his fourth inning of relief, the Bells had runners at first and second when Joey Cerrito lined a single to center. As Padres center fielder Kannon Clayton gathered to throw home, the Bells base runner from second was being waived home by third-base coach Nate Sutton. The runner, halfway between third and home, turned back as Clayton’s throw short-hopped Serra catcher Omar Barraza nitely suspended the policy that previously had kept events such as the men’s basketball tournament out of Nevada. With legal sports gambling having already spread to seven other states, the ban became impractical. In March, Mississippi State hosted NCAA women’s basketball tournament games. The state has allowed betting on games since last summer. The NCAA Board of Governors also reiterated the association’s call for federal regulation of sports wagering and an exemption on legal betting on college sports.

and bounced away. “Like always, we’re sending a guy two outs and a runner on second,” Bellarmine manager Mike Rodriguez said. “And for whatever reason, the runner — I don’t know, I can’t really describe what happened because he just said he didn’t think he was going to score, so he stopped. It is what it is.” Valle-Janda struck out the next batter — on a 3-2 pitch with a called third strike — for his third punch-out of the day to walk off the mound with the bases full of Bells. Valle-Janja allowed one run through four innings in relief of starting pitcher Timmy Ghiorso. “[Valle-Janda] really did a great job,” Houle said. “He pitches to , he gets groundballs. And as long as we play good defense behind him, then he always keeps us in the game. And he’s a competitor too.” Valle-Janda induced just such a groundball on the one run he surrendered. In the top of the sixth, with Serra clinging to a 2-1 lead

since the first inning, Bellarmine had runners at first and third and one out when Valle-Janda got a would-be double-play ball. Serra had the twin-killing in front of them but, after getting the out at second, second baseman Marek Pallandino threw high to first, allowing for Bellarmine junior Garrett Arnold to score from third with the tying run. The game had its fair share of weird plays. Perhaps the most controversial play led to Serra’s Tyler Shaw being ejected from the game in the fourth inning. Shaw was batting with two on and one out when he hit an infield pop-up hugging the first-base line. As Bellarmine first baseman Gio Saso set himself and gloved the pop-up, Shaw ran right through him, with Saso somehow holding on to the ball. Even had Saso dropped it, Shaw would have been called out for failing to avoid a fielder making a routine play. Shaw was also ejected, costing Serra its starting shortstop. Shaw’s replacement seized on the opportunity, though, as junior shortstop Matty Fong stepped into the No. 9 spot in the batting order and launched the small-ball assault that sparked the comeback rally in the ninth. Leading off the ninth, Fong executed a picturesque bunt single past the pitcher to the right side of the diamond. “That’s on his own,” Houle said. “And he’s really good at playing the small ball.” Clayton followed with sacrifice bunt to move Fong to second. Bellarmine then intentionally walked Villar. After a single by Thomas Gould to load the bases, Dominic Meza topped a grounder to third with Cerrito throwing home to force out Fong at the plate for the second out. Falk followed with the first walk-off knock of his varsity career though, setting off a wild celebration to propel Serra into the postseason on a high note. “It felt so good,” Falk said. “It was crazy, just the team running out there after me, just yelling and screaming.” The Padres now advance to the WCAL tournament starting Tuesday, with Serra hosting for a 4 p.m. start.

Looking for some action on the Derby? Here’s some basic betting tips THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Picking a horse to win the Kentucky Derby is easy. Placing a bet is as close as a cellphone, tablet, computer or even a smart TV with internet access. But for the novice or inexperienced bettor, making a wager that pays off with a profit can be a challenge: Beginners need to know how to place a bet, who to bet on and where to place the bet. Off-track simulcasting in more than two dozen states offers a convenient alternative to going to the track. Of course, there’s always the actual experience of walking up to the betting window at the track. That’s a good option if you can’t get to Churchill Downs, where 150,000 spectators are expected for Saturday’s 145th Derby and hoping to get some action on Game Winner, the 92 new morning line favorite after 4-1 previous favorite Omaha Beach was scratched Wednesday evening with a breathing problem. Minimum bets vary from state to state, but here are some things to consider when placing a wager:

DERBY Continued from page 13 lacks only a Derby victory. That prompted the early odds to be redone. The race also lost 30-1 shot Haikal after the colt was scratched with an infected left front foot. “This is a crazy game and anything can happen,” said Bret Calhoun, who trains By My Standards. “We just have to hold our breaths until we get there.” War of Will benefited slightly from Haikal’s scratch. He won’t have to start in the No. 1 post, which will be left vacant. The field will break from posts 2 through 20. A win by any of Baffert’s trio would tie him

THE BASICS The obvious wager is betting on a horse to win. Just pick one. But after that, it can get a little trickier. Bets can be made on a horse to win, place (finish first or second) or show (finish first, second or third) — or all three with an across-the-board wager. An exacta involves correctly picking the first two horses in order, or in any order with a combination known as a box bet (1-2 or 2-1, for example). Superfecta bets (picking the first four horses) are also available, as are exotic wagers such as Pick 3 and Pick 6 that requires choosing the winning horses in multiple races. A Pick 3 and a Pick 6 are the hardest to predict, leading to rollover jackpots that can be very lucrative. But they probably are best left to more seasoned bettors.

The Daily Racing Form gives bettors all the information they need about the horses in a given race. jockey, trainer, silks, saddle towel color and past performances. They can be purchased at the track, simulcast venue or a track’s website. It will initially seem like a lot of numbers and statistics, but tracks and web sites offer instructions on how to read and understand a program. One benefit to being at the track is seeing how the horse looks in the paddock or during the pre-race parade. Appearance and temperament are important, so keep an eye on horse’s ears to see how engaged the horse is with the atmosphere. And there’s nothing wrong with playing a hunch, since after all, it’s just a gamble.

on, the next step is placing the bet. Numerous websites such as TwinSpires. com — Churchill Downs’ online service — Equibase. com and TVG.com offer betting at racetracks worldwide. Wagering is free, but it will require setting up a subscription and require banking information to place bets and deposit winnings. Those services even provide live streaming and replays.

PARI-MUTUEL BETTING

Determining who to bet on can start with a daily racing program that lists entrants for each race and information including odds,

ONLINE BETTING After learning what to bet and who to bet

When wagering, the longer the odds the bigger the payoff. In horse racing, the odds are not finalized until the race begins. That is known as parimutuel betting. That’s different than sports betting in which bettors get the odds that are available at the time they make their bet. And while sports betting expanded in several states last year after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that states could legalize sports gambling, it does not include horse racing. Even in most states that have legalized sports betting, placing a bet on horse racing is limited to the tracks.

with Ben Jones for the most Derby victories with six. He would become the first trainer to win the race in consecutive years twice. His last back-to-back winners were in 1997 and ‘98. Baffert won last year’s Derby — the rainiest on record — with Justify. Saturday’s forecast calls for a 90 percent chance of rain and a high of 66 degrees (18 Celsius). It sure looks like anybody’s soggy race this time. “It’s whoever gets the trip,” Baffert said of the 1 1/4-mile journey. “Especially now that it’s going to rain, we don’t know what is going to happen. It’s too bad the weather is not going to work with us.” Game Winner finished second to Roadster in the Santa Anita Derby. Roadster’s only loss in four career starts was to Game

Winner. Improbable went 3-0 last year, including a win on the Churchill Downs dirt, and finished second in this year’s Arkansas Derby. A victory by any of the four Californiabased horses would surely boost the struggling industry in the state, where a spate of 23 horse deaths over three months at Santa Anita triggered a raft of medication and safety rules changes that are affecting the rest of the sport. Every horse in the Derby, except Japanbred Master Fencer, will run on Lasix, the anti-bleeding medication allowed on race day in the U.S. Churchill Downs and the other Triple Crown tracks announced recently the drug will be banned starting in 2021. Game Winner’s breeding suggests a sloppy track would appeal to him, although he’s

never raced on one. Neither has Code of Honor, Roadster, Tax and Vekoma. Horses that are 1-for-1 on off-tracks are: Master Fencer, Maximum Security, Spinoff, Tacitus and War of Will. Those with one or two losses on such tracks are: Bodexpress, By My Standards, Country House, Cutting Humor, Gray Magician, Improbable, Long Range Toddy, Plus Que Parfait and Win Win Win. Baffert touted undefeated Florida Derby winner Maximum Security as the horse that should be the favorite. “He’s a horse that nobody is talking about and that’s a horse that I’m worried about,” he said. “He’s run faster than we have.” Gary and Mary West have two shots to win their first Derby since they own both Game Winner and Maximum Security.

Plenty of worries heading into the Run for the Roses T

he famed garland of red roses will be draped over the horse that crosses the line first in the Kentucky Derby. It would be an even bigger triumph if all 19 of these marvelous animals make it under the wire safely. As horse racing prepares for its biggest day, everyone around Churchill Downs is holding their breath just a bit. The one thing the sport can’t afford is another tragedy. A dark cloud has settled over the sport of kings in recent months, and we’re not even talking about a stormy forecast that might turn the track into a muddy mess come Saturday. On the West Coast, a rash of deaths during the winter racing season led to a temporary shutdown at famed Santa Anita and fueled an increasingly bellicose crusade by animal-right activists who want to put a pursuit they see as inhumane out to pasture. If, heaven forbid, another horse should break down with more than 100,000 watching in the stands and millions more tuning in on NBC, it might be time to acknowledge that racing is truly — and deservedly — in the homestretch of its very existence. While the scratching of favorite Omaha Beach was a huge disappointment, it also was an encouraging indication that horse racing realizes the stakes have never been higher. Nothing is more important than the health and safety of the horses, along with those who ride them. Not even the Kentucky Derby, one of the rare days when this niche sport goes mainstream. “When you learn about horse racing, the first thing you learn is the Kentucky Derby,” said Richard Mandella, the Hall of Fame trainer for Omaha Beach. “Whether you are a jockey or trainer or groom, a hot walker, an owner, it doesn’t matter. The Kentucky Derby is

what everybody knows. Everybody has that dream to win it.” But when Mandella’s horse was having trouble breathing, he made the decision to pull him out of the race. It was a gutwrenching call, for both the trainer and the colt’s owner. Mandella has never won the Derby with six previous starters. At his age, this very well could be his final shot. Ditto for the colt’s 78-year-old owner, Rick Porter. He is a cancer survivor who has twice finished second in the Derby, including the tragic year of 2008 when his filly, Eight Belles, broke her front legs after crossing the finish line and had to be euthanized. “Horsemen care for their animals,” Mandella said. “We don’t always get the warning and things happen. But horsemen always look for the warning signs and don’t want to do the wrong thing.” With that in mind, longshot Haikal ed Omaha Beach on the scratched list Friday morning because of an abscess in his left front hoof. Omaha Beach had trained well and shown no signs of distress during his time on the track at Churchill Downs. But after the colt developed a cough, a veterinary exam revealed an entrapped epiglottis. While generally not a career-threatening condition, it does have to be corrected with minor surgery. That means this Omaha Beach won’t compete in any of the Triple Crown events. “As bad as it felt” to scratch the horse, Mandella said, “it would be a horrible feeling to have him not

finish well and know that I was at fault for running him.” If this sport is to survive, that is the mantra everyone must adopt. Tighter rules and regulations are fine, and some sort of national governing body is sorely needed, but none of that will matter if human beings don’t do the right thing. There’s no way to keep an eye on every farm, every barn, every stall. Death at the racetrack is hardly a new phenomenon, of course. Ruffian died from injuries sustained in a highly publicized match race in 1975. Barbaro shattered a leg during the 2006 Preakness and succumbed to the injuries about eight months later. And then there was Eight Belles, horribly breaking down while being slowed after completing the Derby, leading to her being put to death right on the track. Yet, those always seemed like isolated incidents. The gruesome season at Santa Anita, where 23 horses have perished since the day after Christmas, cast a spotlight on enormity of the problem, which clearly extends far beyond a single track. Not surprisingly, Churchill Downs announced a series of safety initiatives two weeks ago, including a new $8 million equine medical center, a proposal to eliminate use of the disputed drug Lasix on race days, and additional camera surveillance of all track facilities. But all of those will take a year or longer to implement, meaning they won’t have any impact on this year’s Derby. So hold your breath. When the gate springs open on Saturday, all we can do is hope everyone makes it back alive. Paul Newberry is a sports columnist for The Associated Press.

PITTSBURGH — Josh Phegley drove in a career-high eight runs to set a franchise record for most RBIs in a game by a catcher and the Oakland Athletics snapped a sixgame losing streak with 14-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday night. Phegley sandwiched a run-scoring

single in the third around bases-clearing doubles in the second and fourth, and added a long solo homer in the ninth. He finished 4 for 5 for the A’s, who jumped on Joe Musgrove (1-3) early to win for just the fifth time in 18 tries away from O.Co Coliseum. Matt Chapman added his ninth home run for Oakland and Kendry Morales went 3 for 4 as the A’s set season highs in both runs and hits (16), and nearly matched their entire 15-run output during the six-game slide that dropped them to the bottom of the American League West.

TENNIS Continued from page 13 With Friday’s win, M-A improved to 154-1 against PAL competition since 2009 — that “1” came in a loss to Carlmont in 2013. That kept the Bears focused on Friday’s match despite the comfort level of having beaten the Scots twice already this season. “I think that there was a little more pressure,” said Tim Berthier, M-A’s No. 1 singles player and the reigning PAL singles champion. Sorenson said his team was without two starters during the 2013 loss, but had his full lineup Friday. And whether the Bears were fired up to be hosting their first CCS home match in four years, or were simply excited to play as a team for the first time in two weeks, M-A was ready to play. As has been the case this season, freshman Luke Jensen got the party started for the Bears with a dominating performance at No. 4 singles, winning 6-0, 6-1. M-A co-coach Carlos Aguilar said Jensen has been the first player off in every Bears’ match this season, save one. Sorenson said in addition to Jensen’s talent, it’s his approach

THE DAILY JOURNAL to the game that enables him to finish matches quickly. “He’s very efficient (during his matches). It’s not just his tennis, it’s the fact that he works really quickly,” Sorenson said. When you add in Jensen’s abilities, it adds up to a lot of quick matches. “He’s solid all the way around,” Sorenson said. “He’s the textbook all-court player. … He does everything well.” Jensen was followed minutes later by the No. 2 doubles team of Erik Hanson and Mason Lau, who dropped two games in the first set before going on for the straightset win with a bagel in the second. Zach Ostrom and Griffin Voss dropped only one game in their 60, 6-1 No. 1 doubles victory, while the No. 3 doubles team of Ammar Safdari and Josh Wiseman rounded out the doubles sweep and garnered the match-clinching fourth team point with a 6-1, 6-2 decision. Seniors Berthier and Jake Andrew gave the Bears points 5 and 6 with 6-3, 6-4 and 6-1, 6-4 victories, respectively. And when Maxsim Lukic hit a ing winner, he pumped his fist to post a 62, 7-5 win at No. 3 singles. For the M-A seniors, it was their first home playoff match. The courts at M-A were closed for three seasons as campus construction

was going on, but the school finally got the new and improved courts opened for this season. Over the weekend, the team made it their own by hanging all their PAL championship banners. “It feels good, especially in front of all the new banners,” said Andrew, who finished runner-up to Berthier in the PAL championships. If Berthier felt pressure, Andrew was on the other end of the spectrum. “It was comforting (facing Carlmont),” Andrew said. “I knew who I was playing and what his game is like. Everyone was pretty confident.”

No. 4 St. Ignatius 6, Aragon 1 The Dons struggled against the Wildcats, who won back-to-back CCS titles in 2016 and 2017. The No. 1 doubles team for Aragon (16-4) of Rithik Booreddy and Richard Tang prevented the sweep by SI (16-5) with a three-set win over Daniel Gaffney and Asa Kong. The Aragon pair dropped the first set 2-6, but they came back to win the final two sets by the same score. Daniel Duan, at No. 2 singles, and No. 3 singles player Ilan Leventhal each forced a first-set tiebreaker before going on to lose in straight sets for the Dons.

Toni Morrison’s ‘Jazz’ adapted for stage By Judy Richter DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

“Jazz” at Marin Theatre Company opens confusingly with a funeral, but what is the significance of the deceased and why is she mourned? The answers become clear later in Nambi E. Kelley’s adaptation of Toni Morrison’s book of the same name. In the meantime, it isn’t easy to follow the action because it shifts from 1926 to memories of times past without much warning. Eventually what evolves is a love triangle involving Violet (C. Kelly Wright); her husband Joe (Michael Gene Sullivan); and Dorcas (Dezi Solèy), the young woman with whom he has an affair. Others in the eight-person, all-black cast include Bay Area favorite Margo Hall, mainly as Alice, an older, wiser woman; and lithe Paige Mayes as the my t h i cal Go l den Gray an d t h e p arro t

that Joe gives Violet. Also involved in the story is the migration of Southern blacks to Harlem, where they enjoyed greater freedom from oppression. Directed by Awoye Timpo, everyone in the cast, including Lisa Lacy, Tiffany Tenille and Dane Troy, does well with creating characters. Although the title might imply lots of music, the orchestral (recorded) and vocal score by Marcus Shelby is used sparingly but effectively. Thanks to choreographer Joanne Haigood, there also is some impressive dancing, especially by the athletic Mayes and Troy. Despite some confusing moments, this production of “Jazz” holds one’s attention. Running about 100 minutes with no intermission, it will continue through May 19 at Marin Theatre Company, 397 Miller Ave., Mill Valley.

Everything adds up to a hit Palo Alto Players stages entertaining ‘Flower Drum Song’ By Judy Richter DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

JOYCE GOLDSCHMID

Linda Low (Marah Sotelo) and her nightclub dancers (Kristy Aquino, Yoshi Humfeld, Miko Ison, Ruri Kodama, Karen Law and Masami Savage) in Palo Alto Players’ ‘Flower Drum Song.’

If ever a production number itself is worth the price of ission, it’s “Fan Tan Fannie” in Palo Alto Players’ production of “Flower Drum Song.” The precision fan snaps and dancing by the ensemble and Marah Sotelo as Linda Low are nothing short of spectacular. There’s so much more, though, in this musical by composer Richard Rodgers and lyricist Oscar Hammerstein II. Start with memorable songs like “A Hundred Million Miracles,” “I Enjoy Being a Girl, ” “You Are Beautiful, ” “Grant Avenue,” “Love, Look Away” and more. Add in David Henry Hwang’s updated adaptation of the original book by Hammerstein and Joseph Fields. Hwang’s version focuses on Chinese immigrants’ struggles as they try to adapt to American life in 1949 and 1950.

Moreover, the all-Asian and AsianAmerican cast is terrific under Lily Tung Crystal’s direction and imaginative staging. Y. Sharon Peng’s sometimes elaborate costumes and Ting-Na Wang’s set create a visual spectacle augmented by Pamila Gray’s lighting and Brandie Larkin’s sound. Much credit also goes to choreographer Alex Hsu, along with consultants in dialects, culture, Chinese opera and Chinese dance. Music director Amanda Ku leads the basically fine orchestra except for a few sour notes. Thus you have just the right blend of ingredients for a hit show. The characters are multi-dimensional, too, starting with sweet-voiced Emily Song as Mei-Li, the heroine. After her father is seized by Chinese Communists, she s others taking the arduous boat trip to San

MUSEUM GOTTA SEE ‘UM By Susan Cohn DAILY JOURNAL SENIOR CORRESPONDENT

TERRA INFERMA: ARTWORK ADDRESSES CLIMATE CHANGE, AT THE PENINSULA MUSEUM OF ART IN BURLINGAME. Artists consider the world around us and express their thoughts through a variety of medium. From May 19 through July 28, artists Kim Anno, Jon Kerpel and Doyle Wegner share creations that address the issue of climate change. The public is invited to meet the artists at the opening reception 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. May 19. A Discussion with local climate experts Mark Decena and Lauren Speeth and the artists is scheduled 2 p.m. June 9. Artist Kim Anno explores the insect world, as insects are particularly sensitive to climate change and face challenges on an immense scale. Her recent interests and expertise have been in the intersection of art and science, particularly in aesthetic issues surrounding climate change, water and adaptation. For her show at PMA, Anno exhibits a butterfly collection, giving them agency to move or fly off her illustrated page. And since the Bay Area is home to a tapestry of butterfly species, her work incorporates the Mission Blue and the Checkered Skipper butterflies, among others. Artist Jon Kerpel’s assemblages are part of a series entitled “Earth Saints,” dedicated to those who have made enormous sacrifices for environmental causes. These include Dorothy Stang, Julia Butterfly Hill and Jane Goodall. Dorothy Stang was a nun who was shot dead protecting the Amazon Basin. Julia Butterfly Hill sat at the top of a redwood tree for over 500 days to keep it from being logged. Jane Goodall has dedicated her life to creating an awareness of how important jungle creatures are. In order to affirm the importance of the natural world, Kerpel’s sculptures take the form of temples and shrines. He often combines jewels and shiny objects with animal imagery in order to make the creature world more visible and attract more positive attention to it. Artist Doyle Wegner considers himself a storyteller. His images blend the everyday world with the realm of dreams, imagination, myth and fairy tale. As a graphic artist/illustrator for the East Bay Regional Park District, he has also worked in a realistic manner in the rendering of plants and animals. In Wegner’s Rescued, a man is pulled through the sky by a thin, barelyvisible string, defying the laws of physics. As the man rises upward, the things preoc-

Wegner has lived in the Bay Area for over 50 years and in Japan for 10 years, studying woodblock printing and Japanese brush-painting. The Peninsula Museum of Art is a free nonprofit visual arts complex housing five museum exhibit galleries, a children’s art program, a library resource center, and a gift shop. Its focus is art created by living artists with a Greater Bay Area connection. PMA is also home to the Museum Studios, 30 working artist studios where visual artists work and exhibit their creations in painting, sculpture, photography, mixed media, jewelry, fiber art and millinery. Located at 1777 California Drive. Burlingame. Open 11 a. m. to 5 p. m. Wednesday through Sunday. Free ission and parking. For more information visit peninsulamuseum.org or call 692-2101.

WEEKEND JOURNAL

Weekend • May 4-5, 2019

LION KING Continued from page 19 putting the finishing touches on what might be this summer’s most anticipated release, one that’s been three years in the making with some of the biggest names in entertainment, including Beyoncé, and the expectations couldn’t be higher. None of the other major studios are even daring to go up against “The Lion King” when it opens July 19. The animated film, which opened in June 1994 at the peak of the Disney animation renaissance, went on to become a critical hit, the highest grossing film of the year at the worldwide box office (it was second domestically to “Forrest Gump”), a twotime Oscar winner for Zimmer’s score and the song “Can You Feel the Love Tonight,” and a Broadway show — now the thirdlongest running and one of the most successful in history. So it was only a matter of time before the Walt Disney Co., in this new era of live-action remakes of its animated library which this year included both “Dumbo” and “Aladdin,” turned to one of its most beloved. Favreau wasn’t finished with his version of “The Jungle Book” when he started inquiring about plans for “The Lion King.” He’d learned so much about motion capture

FLOWER Continued from page 20 Francisco and a hoped-for new life. She finds a Chinatown club whose owner, Wang (Bryan Pangilinan), tries to make a living performing traditional Chinese opera with his son, Ta (Jomar Martinez.) Wang hires her to dance with him when she shows she’s more accomplished than Ta.

technology and had a team he knew how to collaborate with. He was ready to take it to the next level. So, he raised his hand for the big job. “I kind of lobbied for it,” Favreau said. The studio waited until “The Jungle Book” was out to give him the official word, but the 2016 movie which scored with both critics and audiences, turned out to be a pretty good audition. And he set to work prepping this “live-action” “Lion King, ” which, it should be said isn’t live-action at all. It’s a combination of virtual reality and “keyframe animation,” which means that the animals are all animated by hand, “just like all the old animated movies,” Favreau explained. In other words, if you visited the set, you would not find some gargantuan soundstage and a bunch of actors running around acting like lions while covered in motion capture bodysuits and dots. Rather, it was more of a “black box with people wearing headsets and VR goggles.” The VR was used to “drive the camera” and “instead of just one layout artist on a computer, we had a full crew operating virtual cameras in a virtual reality environment,” he said. That includes esteemed cinematographer Caleb Deschanel, a six-time Oscar nominee. The resulting special effect is that “It should feel like a live-action movie,” he said, even if it’s technically animated.

For the cast, which includes Donald Glover as Simba, Beyoncé as Nala, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Scar, Seth Rogen as Pumbaa and Billy Eichner as Timon, the process was pretty similar to what they would have done for a traditionally animated movie, but Favreau also filmed the actors during their voice recording sessions to help the animators. He knew it would look to weird to try to translate human expressions onto the cats’ faces so instead emotion is conveyed through body language (and a little mouth moving for the dialogue). Anyone who’s seen the marketing thus far has no doubt recognized some familiar touchstones from the 1994 film. So familiar, in fact, that many started to wonder if this was going to be a shot-for-shot remake. Favreau said that isn’t the case. “It diverges quite a bit,” he said. “It’s much longer than the original film. And part of what we’re doing here is to (give it more dimension) not just visually but both story wise and emotionally.” The main story points are the same, but like the stage musical, there will be differences too. Plus, he wanted to capitalize on the uniqueness of his actors. With Beyoncé, for instance, he even changed the way he directed her and approached her animation after seeing her stage show and all the personas she channels for each song.

“Nala is a very powerful character who’s a warrior and also has a big heart and encapsulates a lot of different archetypes,” he said. “I wanted the way she was choreographed and with lions and the fight scenes to have a resonance with the power with which (Beyoncé) choreographs her stage show.” And of course there’s the music, which is just as important as the images in conjuring up all the emotion and nostalgia associated with the original. Zimmer has updated and built upon his own score from 25 years ago, which will also integrate music from the stage show and the 2D film. “It’s quite a lush version of the soundtrack and the score,” Favreau said. There will be some recognizable songs, including “Can You Feel the Love Tonight,” “Hakuna Matata,” “Be Prepared,” “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King” and “Circle of Life,” plus some new ones too. And the hope is that this version resonates not only with the generations that grew up with “The Lion King,” but with a new batch of kids as well who may be experiencing it for the first time this way. “It’s about the life cycle and coming of age and saying goodbye and all the things that we all deal with,” Favreau said. “It’s not a story that’s often told but it’s a story that’s probably the most universal story there is.”

Wang clings to the old ways, but Ta wants to appeal to more modern American tastes with the popular nightclub format offered once a week at Wang’s club. Wang does come around and takes center stage in the Act 2 opening, “Chop Suey.” He emerges from a giant Chinese takeout carton while the women sport fortune cookie hats and the men wield giant chopsticks. In the midst of all this spectacle, there’s romance, though it’s sometimes rocky. Mei-Li grows fonder of Ta, who pursues

Linda, who isn’t interested. Wang and the brassy Madame Liang (Melinda Meeng), a talent agent hired by Linda, become attracted to each other. Every principal character seems perfectly suited for his or her role. Besides those already mentioned, Joey Alvarado plays the wise, kindly Uncle Chin and Bryan Munar is the fussy costumer, Harvard. John Paul Kilecdi-Li portrays Chao, who made the journey with Mei-Li and is attracted to her. After working in a fortune cookie factory that’s a virtual sweatshop, however,

he and other disillusioned immigrants return to China. There’s more, but all turns out well in this highly entertaining show. In the curtain call, each performer says where he or she was born. Most of them are from Asian countries. Running about 2 1/2 hours with one intermission, “Flower Drum Song” will continue through May 12 at the Lucie Stern Theater, 1305 Middlefield Road, Palo Alto.

different. You want superheroes? You’ve got “Spider-Man: Far From Home” and “Dark Phoenix” on the horizon. Or sequels? There’s “Toy Story 4, ” “John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum,” “Godzilla: King of the Monsters,” “The Secret Life of Pets 2,” and even a “Fast & Furious” spinoff, “Hobbs & Shaw.” How about a reboot with a casting twist? Look no further than the “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” update “The Hustle, ” with Anne Hathaway and Rebel Wilson, or “Men In Black: International,” with Tessa Thompson and Chris Hemsworth.   Biopics? “Rocketman” is coming and “Brian Banks” too. A literary adaptation? There’s “The Sun Is Also a Star” and “Where’d You Go Bernadette?” Or a remake of an animated classic? Disney has you covered with two: “Aladdin” and “The Lion King.” But there is also a world of original films that will add fresh stories, unique perspectives, depth and diversity to the mix. And they’re not all indies either. Some studios are making big gestures, with original horrors, comedies and major releases from auteurs: Quentin Tarantino has his 1969 Manson-era Los Angeles film “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, ” which Sony will release; and Danny Boyle has “Yesterday,” coming from Universal. “Yesterday,” while a fresh conceit, does have a big recognizable selling point: It’s about the music of The Beatles and what happens when everyone in the world forgets that they ever existed — except one struggling musician. Boyle laughed that the songs are “both the enabler and the destroyer. Because if you get them wrong, it’s terrible, there’s nothing worse. If you get them right, it gives you an advantage.” He even made the bold choice to cast a relatively unknown actor in the lead role. “Any studio is going to prefer one of the leading men if you can get it,” Boyle said. “But there’s a natural inhibitor here: They’ve got to be able to play Beatles songs.” The one who stood out in a sea of “Yesterday” auditions was Himesh Patel, who Boyle said made them sound new. “It’s not cheap making a Beatles movie. The Beatles songs cost money. But (the studio) saw the audition and they bought into him, ” Boyle said. “He’s a lovely discovery.

He has a modern sense of humor.” It’s not the only big original movie coming out this summer featuring a South Asian lead, either. There’s the Bruce Springsteen-soundtracked film “Blinded by the Light,” from “Bend It Like Beckham” director Gurinder Chadha , the Uber driver who gets in over his head comedy “Stuber,” with Kumail Nanjiani, and Mindy Kaling’s “Late Night, ” in which she plays a diversity hire on a late night talk show writing staff. There’s also diversity in the independent realm with two notable and highly personal visions manifested in Lulu Wang’s “The Farewell,” with Awkwafina, and “The Last Black Man in San Francisco,” both A24 releases. Wang’s semi-autobiographical film about a Chinese-American family who decides to keep their Chinese grandmother’s terminal illness from her, was a breakout at the Sundance Film Festival. “To have an entire film of Asian faces and then have it predominantly be not English language, but to still have it be American financed and distributed and marketed as a US production is not the usual,” Wang said. “The Last Black Man in San Francisco” is another exciting discovery from newcomer Jimmie Fails who wrote and stars in this story about gentrification and loving a home that’s no longer yours. “I love that company,” Fails said of A24. “They give young, new voices a platform.” Another outfit taking gambles on new stories is Annapurna, which backed Olivia Wilde’s directorial debut “Booksmart, ” a sure-to-be breakout about two high school overachievers and devoted good girls who decide to go to a party one night. Focus Features is releasing Jim Jarmusch’s star-studded zombie-comedy, “The Dead Don’t Die,” with Bill Murray and Adam Driver, and Neon has “Wild Rose, ” about an Irish mother of two youngsters, recently released from prison, who dreams of being a country music star.

which is based on a real trip she took with Maya Rudolph, Tina Fey, Rachel Dratch and others. In the film, the group of friends gets together in Napa to celebrate a 50th birthday. “There are just not enough representations of long female relationships,” Poehler said. “We’re obsessed with the beginnings and endings of things and there’s so much to tell in the middle.” The film will be getting a limited theatrical run, too, but she likes that audiences will have the option to watch it with wine and then just roll into bed if they want. “The summer can be a land of opportunity for films that offer an antidote to the overwhelming onslaught of blockbusters that are the stock in trade of the industry’s biggest season, ” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for Comscore. Of course it’s usually the franchises that earn the most. Last summer the top five films were all sequels and ed for over 40 percent of the overall summer box office. The last time a non-animated original topped the summer box office was in 1998 with “Saving Private Ryan.” And this year needs all the help it can get, even with the “Avengers: Endgame” boost, the year is still down 13.3% . But the originals have a chance to provide upside. There’s rarely the kind of grassroots-level buzz as when something truly fresh comes along. “Last summer was a great example of how original and fresh concepts were big drivers during the summer months with ‘The Meg,’ ‘Crazy Rich Asians,’ ‘Book Club,’ ‘Tag’ as well as the documentary ‘Won’t You Be My Neighbor?’ all performing better than expected at the box office, ” noted Dergarabedian. And it’s something that creators and studios are fighting to preserve. “People like original content and are excited when there are good original movies. I think they also like big franchises but I think there’s room for both,” said Seth Rogen, who produced two original films this summer with “Long Shot” and the sixth graders go wild film “Good Boys.” “Studios have an appetite for both.” Plus, Boyle hopes that even with all the possibilities on television and streaming that there’s still specialness to going to the theaters to see something new. “Television is endless time, in a way,” Boyle said. “But movies, you go and you give two hours of your time to one thing, and you’re not going to be distracted. You sit there and you go, take me somewhere and transform me. It’s wonderful to be able to do that. The spotlight is so much more precious.”

NOTiCE OF A pubLiC hEARiNG NOTiCE iS hEREby GivEN that the City Council of the City of San Bruno, California (the “City”) at its regular meeting on Tuesday, May 14, 2019, at the Senior Center, 1555 Crystal Springs Road, San Bruno, starting at 7:00 p.m., will hold a Public Hearing to consider waiving the first reading and introducing an ordinance and adopting a resolution of the City Council of the City of San Bruno, regarding an application for approvals to allow construction of a new three-story, nine-unit multi-family residential building located at 500 Sylvan Avenue per Chapters 12.136, 12.96.190, and 12.108, of the San Bruno Municipal Code. The proposed project includes a total of nine dwelling units and 14 total parking spaces. Alan William Coon (Applicant), Suresh Gandhi (Owner). PD18-001, PDP18-001, AR18-002, UP18-012. The City Council will consider the following actions for the project: 1. Adopt a CEQA Conformity Determination for the Proposed Multi-Family Residential Development at 500 Sylvan Avenue. 2. Waive First Reading and Introduce an Ordinance Amending Chapter 12.96 of the San Bruno Municipal Code to Establish a Planned Development District, Update the Zoning Map, and Adopt a Development Plan for the Multi-Family Residential Development located at 500 Sylvan Avenue. 3. Adopt a Resolution Approving a Planned Development Permit, Architectural Review Permit, Conditional Use Permit, and Authorize the City Manager to Execute a Development Impact Fee Agreement for the Multi-Family Residential Development located at 500 Sylvan Avenue. Project Environmental Determination: The 500 Sylvan Avenue project is located within the Transit Corridors Plan (T) area. A Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program was prepared for the T and was adopted by the City Council on February 12, 2013. The 500 Sylvan Avenue property was analyzed in the T EIR at a programmatic level, with potential impacts identified and mitigations applied in the program EIR to avoid or reduce potentially significant impacts. Under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines sections 15168 (Program EIR), 15162 (Subsequent EIRs and Negative Declarations), and 15183 (Projects Consistent With a Community Plan or Zoning), subsequent individual projects can utilize a previously certified program EIR if all potentially significant environmental impacts of the proposed individual project: (1) have been previously identified (i.e., are not new) and are not substantially more severe than those identified in the previous EIR, (2) have been avoided or mitigated to the extent feasible as a result of the previous EIR, and (3) have been examined in sufficient detail in the previous EIR to enable those impacts to be avoided or mitigated by the mitigations in the EIR, site-specific project revisions, or the imposition of uniformly applicable development policies. If these conditions are met, then the City can approve the individual project as within the scope of the previous EIR, and no additional environmental document is required. The certified T EIR and the 500 Sylvan Avenue project meet these CEQA conditions. The public is invited to attend the hearing and comment. For more information call Matt Neuebaumer, Associate Planner in the Community Development Department at (650) 616-7042. Disabled persons requiring accommodation in order to participate in the public hearing may the City Clerk’s Office at (650) 616-7058. TDD s may the California Relay Service at: 1-800-735-2929.

Strong cyclone hits India, 1.2 million forced from homes By Emily Schmall and Bikas Das THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KOLKATA, India — Cyclone Fani tore through India’s eastern coast on Friday as a grade 5 storm, lashing beaches with rain and winds gusting up to 127 miles per hour and affecting weather as far away as Mount Everest as it approached the former imperial capital of Kolkata. The India Meteorological Department said the “extremely severe” cyclone in the Bay of Bengal hit the coastal state of Odisha around 8 a.m., with weather impacted across the Asian subcontinent. Dust storms were forecast in the desert state of Rajasthan bordering Pakistan, heat waves in the coastal state of Maharashtra on the Arabian Sea, heavy rain in the northeastern states bordering China and snowfall in the Himalayas. Around 1.2 million people were evacuated from low-lying areas of Odisha and moved to nearly 4,000 shelters, according to India’s National Disaster Response Force. Indian officials put the navy, air force, army and coast guard on high alert. Odisha Special Relief Commissioner Bishnupada Sethi said the evacuation effort was unprecedented in India. By Friday afternoon, Fani had weakened to a “very severe” storm as it hovered over coastal Odisha and was forecast to move north-northeast toward the Indian state of West Bengal by Friday evening. In Bhubaneswar, a city in Odisha famous for an 11th-century Hindu temple, palm trees whipped back and forth like mops across skies made opaque by gusts of rain. It is a “very, very scary feeling,” said Tanmay Das, a 40year-old resident, who described “the sound of wind as if it will blow you away.”
