Caltrain budget deficit looms

Transit officials weigh potential revenue sources
By Zachary Clark
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
With a looming budget deficit pro-
jected to hit $6.3 million by 2019,
Caltrain officials are considering a
variety of potential revenue sources,
including fare increases, additional
member agency contributions and a
future tax measure.
The Joint Powers Board discussed
these potential revenue sources and the
state of the budget at a Thursday meet-
ing, an initial conversation on the
topic before a detailed budget is pre-
pared in May and voted on in June.
Caltrain spokesman Dan Lieberman
said the transit agency is forecasting a
deficit of $2.86 million for fiscal year
2018 before rising to $6.3 million the
following fiscal year, primarily due to
anticipated increases in operating
costs, which are not sufficiently offset
by projected increases in fare revenue.
The total expenses for the fiscal year
2019 budget is $152.9 million.
“It’s a structural deficit, and the sim-
ple answer is there’s no stable source
of revenue,” said Charles Stone, a
Caltrain board member and also
Belmont councilman.
To balance the budget, staff’s recom-
mendation centers on a $5 million
increase in member funding for opera- DAILY JOURNAL FILE PHOTO

SACRAMENTO — California’s first black
U.S. senator said Thursday that better train-
ing is needed to help police officers recog-
nize biases in response to last month’s
shooting of Stephon Clark, a 22-year-old
unarmed black man shot by Sacramento
police.
“There is no question that that was a life
that should not have been lost,” Kamala
Harris said at a town hall meeting in
Sacramento. “That is a life that should not
have been ended.”
Harris spoke to a mostly supportive audi-
ence of several hundred people nearly three
weeks after two officers chased Clark, who
was suspected of breaking into cars, into his
grandparents’ darkened backyard and opened
fire. The officers thought he was carrying a
gun but later found he was holding a cell-
phone.
The shooting touched off tense protests in
California’s capital as demonstrators
demanded the officers be indicted.
Clark’s grandmother, who was in the audi-
ence, was given a standing ovation.
“My heart breaks for what has happened,”
Harris said.

Jamaican father, was California’s first

Poll: Most Americans see addiction as a disease
By Matthew Perrone
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — A slim majori-
ty of Americans see prescription
drug addiction as a disease that
requires medical treatment, but
most would not welcome those
suffering from the problem into
their neighborhoods, workplaces
or families.
New survey results reveal
Americans’ complex view of addic-
tion as the deadliest drug epidemic
in U.S. history ripples through
communities nationwide. More
than 1 in 10 Americans say they
have had a relative or close friend
die from an opioid overdose,
according a recent survey by the
Associated Press-NORC Center for
Public Affairs Research.
Opioids are an addictive class of
drugs that includes both prescrip-
tion medicines like Vicodin and
OxyContin and illicit drugs like
heroin and fentanyl. Overdose
deaths linked to the drugs have
quadrupled since 2000, reaching
an all-time high of 42, 000 in
2016.
The wave of addiction has
dragged down the national life
expectancy, strained local budgets
and challenged officials at every
level of government. A study by
the Kaiser Family Foundation
released Thursday found large
employers spent a record $2.6 bil-
lion to treat opioid addiction and
overdoses in 2016, an eightfold
increase since 2004.
NATION
REUTERS FILE PHOTO
Most medical authorities view
drug addiction as a disease. The
National Institute on Drug Abuse
describes it as a long-term, treat-
able brain disease.
Although 53 percent of
Americans view addiction as a
medical problem, they remain
wary of the afflicted. Fewer than 1
in 5 Americans are willing to
closely associate with someone
suffering from drug addiction as a
friend, co-worker or neighbor.
Emily Fleischer, a 36-year-old
librarian, says she has seen the
effects of the opioid epidemic in
her home state of Indiana, includ-

Top doctor urges access
to overdose antidote
By R.J. Rico
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA — The nation’s chief
doctor wants more Americans to
start carrying the overdose anti-
dote naloxone to help combat the
nation’s opioid crisis and save
lives.
Speaking at the National Rx
Drug Abuse & Heroin Summit in
Atlanta on Thursday morning,
U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Jerome
Adams issued his office’s first
national public health advisory in
13 years.
Adams said he hopes those who
are at risk — as well as their
friends and family members —
will keep the antidote on hand and
learn how to use it.
“You don’t have to be a police-
man or a firefighter or a paramedic
to save a life,” said Adams, who
pointed out that more than half of
opioid overdose deaths in the U.S.
occur at home.
According to federal data, more
than 42,000 Americans suffered
fatal opioid overdoses in 2016,
more than double the number who
died in 2010.
Naloxone can restore a person’s
breathing after it is injected or
sprayed in the nostrils, quickly
bringing overdose victims back
from near-death.
The drug, which is often referred
to by the brand name Narcan, is
available without a prescription in
most states and is regularly used
by first responders across the
country. Another product, Evzio,
is available with a prescription

injector.

Jerome Adams chase nalox-
one. Narcan
nasal spray, one of the most wide-
ly available products, can cost
around $80 for one dose. Generic,
injectable versions of naloxone
are cheaper.
For those who are uninsured, the
antidote is often available at little
or no cost through local public
health programs, Adams said. He
also wants more federal funds dedi-
cated to increasing naloxone
access on local levels.
“Costs should not and, in the
near future, will not be a barrier to
accessing naloxone for anyone in
America,” Adams said.
As of July 2017, all 50 states
have passed laws improving
naloxone access, according to The
Network for Public Health Law, a
nonprofit that helps government
agencies.
Maine’s Republican Gov. Paul
LePage has been one of the most
outspoken opponents of the push,
arguing that naloxone doesn’t
treat addiction and merely discour-
ages people from seeking treat-
ment by essentially offering a
safety net if they do overdose.
Proponents, however, argue that
greater access to naloxone doesn’t
draw people to illegal drug use or
foster an addiction.

Horsley for District 3 supervisor
W

of view, and have even
endorsed an outsider candidate for the
District 3 seat on the San Mateo
County Board of Supervisors, Don
Horsley has proven to be a strong
leader in the position for the last
eight years and deserves another four.
Challenger Dan Stegink provides
some interesting perspective and
actually makes a lot of sense when he
calls the alarm on pension obliga-
tions and housing. Local govern-
ments’ rising pension obligations, if
not managed well starting right now,
have the capacity to disable their
ability to provide core services if
there is an economic downturn.
Housing is an issue of which we are
all aware, and Stegink’s belief that
there should be expedited planning
processes for new units is a belief
held by many. Both are appropriate to
provide more focus.

Americans hurt
by imposed tariffs
Editor,
It seems as though the consumer
will get hurt by tariffs imposed on
imports as those costs are passed
along. Instead of money going into
government coffers, it could go
toward tax breaks and other incentives
for the U.S. companies struggling to
compete with cheaper foreign goods.

the country and spreading hate. 
In any other era, 45 would be

The return
of ‘Roseanne’
The Boston Herald
T
he return of the hit TV sitcom “Roseanne” could-
n’t have come at a better time. It’s an opportuni-
ty for many Americans to be introduced to the
working class.
In the show, Roseanne Conner (Roseanne Barr) is a
Trump supporter. She’s got a bad knee but can’t get
treatment because her insurance won’t cover it. Her hus-
band, Dan, played again by John Goodman, wears a
sleep apnea device and does drywall work for a living,
though he should probably be retired.
The Conners represent a typical Midwestern blue-col-
lar family. But it could be many blue-collar families
everywhere. They love God and serve their country.
They own guns, drink beer and shop at Target and
Walmart. They are good and decent people.
And they are struggling. That is front and center in
explaining their support for Donald Trump.
In the show, Roseanne’s sister Jackie, played by
Laurie Metcalf, asks, “How could you vote for him?”
“He talked about jobs, Jackie. He said he’d shake
things up,” Roseanne shot back.
Exactly. That is the life of the working class that
elites in this country never bothered to learn about or
understand. Instead they called them dumb and
deplorable. Not one thought was given to the struggles
of the “Roseanne class.”
Their plight is on display every-where, including in
Massachusetts, where it happens in our neighborhoods.
Parents whose kids see children across the street in
Little League uniforms and want to play. But mom and
dad can’t afford it and so they make up a reason at the
block party for public consumption but feel a stab of
pain every time they think about it.
Working families who use the self-checkout at the
grocery store not because the cashiers don’t look like
them, but because they know they’re going to have their
credit cards rejected multiple times before one finally
works and they don’t want anyone to see.
Right now somebody is probably reading this Herald
in a break room somewhere, exhausted, wondering why
two jobs isn’t enough anymore.
While the most fortunate in our country make the ago-
nizing choice as to whether or not to wear their $1,000
Canada Goose jacket for another season, there are many
who’ve been out of work so long that their self-esteem
is shattered and they just want to feel like real people
again.
The “Roseanne class” is trying to survive and stay
positive at the same time. They’d love to be in a posi-
tion to complain about one of their Amazon Prime
deliveries being a day late but they’re too busy trying to
fend off poverty.
The “Roseanne class” doesn’t need lectures from
coastal elites and they don’t need to endure never-ending
insults. They are not so dumb. When the smartest, most
well-heeled dandies in high society with all their
degrees scoffed at working Americans as moronic rubes
for thinking Donald Trump could be president, blue-col-
lar Americans knew better.
The “Roseanne class” voted for Trump because they
needed jobs and they needed things to be shaken up, and
we had better start respecting that. They are living week
to week and need help now and have little time for
Stormy Daniels, Russian conspiracy theories and
smarmy late-night talk hosts telling third-rate jokes
about orange Cheetos.
We’d be wise to quell our knee-jerk impulse to mock
their accents and attire because though they may not
know how to dress for West Hollywood they certainly
know how to dress for war and they do every time they
are called to defend this country.
The redux of Roseanne includes a nod to the troops
and law enforcement and also just happens to be a hilar-
ious show. More importantly we can also hope that it
may be a way to finally bridge the gap between the two
Americas of 2018. In the show, both sides are gently
skewered with clever barbs tossed back and forth on an
equal level, but the comedy is brilliantly used as cover-
ing fire for important conversation.
Conversation. Remember that?

Market is its old, volatile self after long calm

By Stan Choe
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Like a good
thriller, you can’t be sure where
the stock market is headed these
days until the very end.
The market has become so
volatile that big swings are hap-
pening not only day to day but
hour to hour as investors react to a
mix of hard news, fear and specula-
tion.
Take Wednesday, for example.
What seemed like a terrible day for
stocks ended up being quite a good
one after the Dow Jones industrial
average swung from a 500 point
loss to a 230 point gain. The
opposite has occurred in recent
weeks, too, with early rallies turn-
ing into routs after stocks plunged
in the last hour or so of trading.
The turnaround from last year’s
procession of gradual, effortless
gains has been dizzying. Traders
pin much of the blame on
Washington, D. C. , where the
Trump administration has stirred
up worries about a possible trade
war and the Federal Reserve has
embarked on a course of interest
rate increases. But they also see
the rise in market volatility since

to expand its business empire
By Richard Lardner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Amazon is spending
millions of dollars on lobbying as the glob-
al online retailer seeks to expand its reach
into a swath of industries that President
Donald Trump’s broadsides haven’t come
close to hitting.
Trump’s attacks over the last week target-
ed what Amazon is best known for: rapidly
shipping just about any product you can
imagine to your door. But the company CEO
Jeff Bezos founded more than two decades
ago is now a sprawling empire that sells
groceries in brick-and-mortar stores, hosts
the online services of other companies and
federal offices in a network of data centers,
and even recently branched into health care.
Amazon relies on a nearly 30-member in-
house lobbying team that’s four times as
large as it was three years ago as well as out-
side firms to influence the lawmakers and
federal regulators who can help determine
its success. The outside roster includes a
retired congressman from Washington state
who was a senior member of the powerful
House Appropriations Committee when he
stepped down.
Overall, Amazon spent $15.6 million on
lobbying in 2017.
“Amazon is just not on an even playing
field,” Trump told reporters Thursday aboard
Air Force One. “They have a tremendous
lobbying effort, in addition to having The
Washington Post, which is as far as I’m con-
cerned another lobbyist. But they have a big
lobbying effort, one of the biggest,
frankly, one of the biggest.”
Bezos owns the Post. He and the newspa-
per have previously declared that Bezos
isn’t involved in any journalistic decisions.
Earlier in the week, Trump alleged that
Amazon is bilking the U.S. Postal Service
for being its “delivery boy,” a doubtful
claim about a contract that’s actually been
judged profitable for the post office. And he
has charged that Amazon pays “little or no
taxes, ” a claim that may have merit.
Matthew Gardner, a senior fellow at the left-
leaning Institute on Taxation and Economic
Policy, said in February that Amazon “has
built its business model on tax avoidance.”
Amazon reported $5.6 billion of U.S. prof-
its in 2017 “and didn’t pay a dime of federal
income taxes on it,” according to Gardner.

Trump says 2K-4K
troops are needed
for Mexico border
By Anita Snow and Catherine Lucey
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PHOENIX — President Donald Trump said Thursday that

he wants to send between 2,000 and 4,000 National Guard
members to the U.S.-Mexico border to
help federal officials fight illegal immi-
gration and drug trafficking, but it wasn’t
clear who would be called up or if they
would even be allowed to carry guns.
Trump’s comments to reporters on Air

immigration at GOP tax cut event

By Catherine Lucey
and Jonathan Lemire
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va.
— Tossing his “boring” prepared
remarks into the air, President Donald
Trump on Thursday unleashed a fierce
denunciation of the nation’s immigra-
tion policies, calling for tougher border
security while repeating his unsubstan-
tiated claim that “millions” of people
voted illegally in California.
Trump was in West Virginia to show-
case the benefits of Republican tax cuts,
but he took a big and meandering detour
to talk about his tough immigration and
trade plans. He linked immigration with
the rise of violent gangs like MS-13 and
suggested anew that there had been wide-
spread fraud in the 2016 election.
“In many places, like California, the
same person votes many times. You
probably heard about that,” Trump said.
“They always like to say, ‘Oh, that’s a
conspiracy theory.’ Not a conspiracy
theory, folks. Millions and millions of
people. And it’s very hard because the
state guards their records. They don’t
want us” to see them.
While there have been isolated cases
of voter fraud in the U.S., past studies
have found it to be exceptionally rare.
Trump initially claimed last year that
widespread voting fraud had occurred in
what appeared to be a means of explain-
ing away his popular-vote defeat. Earlier
this year the White House disbanded a
controversial voter fraud commission
amid infighting and lawsuits as state
officials refused to cooperate.
In recent weeks, Trump has been push-
ing back more against the restraints of
the office to offer more unvarnished
opinions and take policy moves that
some aides were trying to forestall. His
remarks in West Virginia, like so many
of his previous planned policy speech-
es, quickly came instead to resemble one
of his free-wheeling rallies.
“This was going to be my remarks.
They would have taken about two min-
utes,” Trump said as he tossed his script
into the air. “This is boring. We have to
tell it like it is.”
As he has done before, Trump conjured
images of violence and suffering when
he described the perils of illegal immi-
gration, though statistics show that
immigrants commit crimes at a lower
rate than citizens. He dubbed MS-13
gang members “thugs” and said his
administration’s crackdown on the
group was “like a war.”
“MS-13 is emblematic of evil, and
we’re getting them out by the hundreds,”
said Trump, who sat on stage at a long
table in a gym draped in American flags
and decorated with signs that read “USA
open for business.” ‘’This is the kind of
stuff and crap we are allowing in our
country, and we can’t do it anymore.”
Vitiello told Fox News Channel.
He said that guard members would be placed in jobs that
do not require law enforcement work, an apparent reference
to undertaking patrols and making arrests.
The Republican governors of Arizona, New Mexico and
Texas have backed the deployment but it was unclear
Thursday how Democratic California Gov. Jerry Brown
would respond to Trump’s call.
Brown’s office repeatedly referred requests for comment
to the California National Guard, which said the state first
must be informed where money for the deployment would
come from, how long it would last and clearly define the
operation’s objectives.
In Washington, Marine Lt. Gen. Kenneth F. McKenzie
told reporters at the Pentagon that it has not yet been deter-
mined how many, if any, of the troops in the border securi-
ty operation will be armed.
Trump ordered the deployment because “we are at a crisis
point” with illegal immigration, Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen
of the Department of Homeland Security said.
“We’d like to stop it before the numbers get even bigger,”
she said.
Nielsen said guard members would provide support to bor-
der officials, “help look at the technology, the surveil-
lance, in some cases we’ll ask for some fleet mechanics”
and free up agents trained in law enforcement for other
duties.

U.S. approves $1.3 billion
sale of artillery to Saudi Arabia
WASHINGTON — The Trump administra-
tion signed off Thursday on selling more
than $1. 3 billion in artillery to Saudi
Arabia, giving a vote of confidence to the
Saudi military as young Crown Prince
Mohammed bin Salman concludes a
marathon tour of the United States.
Since Prince Mohammed arrived in the
U.S. two weeks ago, the administration has
green-lighted more than $2.3 billion in
arms sales to the kingdom, including more
than $1 billion in missiles while the crown
prince was in Washington. The latest deal
Around the nation
includes about 180 Paladin howitzer sys-
tems, artillery-firing vehicles on tracks.
The vehicles look like a combination of a
tank and a cannon, and launch 155mm
shells.
The Trump administration told Congress
on Thursday that it plans to approve the
sale, the State Department said, triggering a
30-day window in which lawmakers could
act to try to stop it. Typically, the adminis-
tration obtains informal approval for such
deals from key lawmakers before making
them public, indicating that Congress is
unlikely to act to block the sale.
Perks await those who cooperate
with Mueller’s Russia probe
WASHINGTON — George Papadopoulos,
taken by surprise by FBI agents at an airport
last summer, now tweets smiling beach self-
ies with a hashtag for the Greek resort island
of Mykonos.
Rick Gates, for weeks on home confine-
ment, gets rapid approval for a family vaca-
tion and shaves down his potential prison
time.
Michael Flynn, once targeted in a grand
jury investigation, travels cross-country to
campaign for a California congressional can-
didate and books a New York speaking event.
It pays to cooperate with the government.
That’s true in any criminal investigation.
It’s especially notable in a case as high pro-
file as special counsel Robert Mueller’s
Russia inquiry, where deals for cooperators
have raised speculation about incriminating
information they’re providing.
The perks of cooperation include freer trav-
el, lenient punishment prospects and even
public comments by defendants that might
have been unthinkable months ago.
Compare that with the experiences of Paul
Manafort, the former Trump campaign chair-
man who has refused to cooperate and faces
decades in prison. And it sends the message
that others could receive favorable treat-
ment if they agree to work with investiga-
tors.

People who post on YouTube can receive

Though the company did not detail its

The initiative begins with retracing
Aghdam’s path onto the campus and
attempting to address those security soft

Aghdam, an Iranian native in her late 30s,

before killing herself.
She had legally bought the 9 mm handgun
from a dealer in San Diego in January, and it
was registered in her name, Caldwell said.
He declined to say where she purchased the
weapon.
Police have previously said Aghdam went
to a gun range before arriving at YouTube.
Caldwell declined to identify the range but
said employees contacted police after the
shooting to report she had practiced there.

though, especially when considering the
motivations of a person fueled by a vendet-
ta against an international online presence
such as YouTube.
“It’s not feasible to say this is a foolproof
site, ” said Barberini. “For every step
YouTube takes to make themselves safer,
there is someone looking for a way to defeat
that.”
Such challenges are spreading beyond San
Bruno, as other notable members of the
local tech sector are seeking more security
as well.
Interim Menlo Park Police Chief Dave
Bertini said his department ramped up its
presence on the Facebook campus immedi-
ately following the shooting in San Bruno.
“Obviously people are on edge and uneasy
after what happened at YouTube, ” said
Bertini, who added his department met with
Facebook officials after the incident to
more deeply examine protocol.
Bertini said police are starting a more fre-
quent foot patrol on the company’s head-
quarters near the Bayfront Expressway,
building on the department’s usual car sur-
veillance presence.
“I think it’s important and we should

Aghdam was prolific at producing videos

including the new hotels, which city staff is
estimating could generate some $850,000
and $1,650,000 in new revenue, respective-
ly, according to the report.
Though new revenue could be dedicated
toward offsetting the city’s unfunded pen-
sion liabilities or parks and recreation pro-
grams, but also up for review is whether it
could fund an additional sheriff’s deputy to
assist with increased traffic congestion,
which residents pegged as a pressing issue
in a community survey conducted in early
2018. The cost of adding another sheriff’s
deputy for 24 hours a day, seven days a week
is estimated at $1. 3 million annually,
according to the report.
The same survey showed some 70 per-
cent of residents surveyed would support a
3 percent increase in the TOT if the rev-
enue supports city services, and 72 per-
cent would support establishing a 10 per-
cent tax on commercial cannabis activi-

officers being there.”
Encouraging officers to get out of the car
and walk the campus will also build the
department’s familiarity with the constant-
ly-changing facilities, noted Bertini, which
will be useful for future emergency
response.
To fund the initiative, Bertini said
Facebook offered money paying for hiring
additional officers who will ultimately be
responsible for serving the eastern portion
of Menlo Park near the company’s headquar-
ters.
In the immediate term though, Bertini
said his department is seeking to quell the
raw nerves shared by some in the tech sec-
tor.
“They wanted more of a police presence,”
he said.
Looking ahead, a business security expert
suggested the YouTube shooting may cause
members of the technology industry to
more closely examine the trend of building
open campuses offering public amenities.
Ken Wheatley, a former FBI agent and
global head of safety for Sony whose
Royal Security Groups offers corporate
consulting services, said the nature of the
company’s relationship with its users
YouTube had no comment about any
actions related to Aghdam’s videos.
Her father, Ismail Aghdam, told the Bay
Area News Group that he warned police the
day before the attack that his daughter was
upset with how YouTube handled her videos
and might be planning to go to its offices.
San Diego sheriff’s Lt. Karen Stubkjaer
said Thursday that the father never told
deputies that she was a danger to herself or
others when he reported her missing.
Police in the San Francisco Bay Area city
of Mountain View said they spoke to Ismail
Aghdam twice after contacting the family to
report finding his daughter sleeping in her
car early Tuesday. Police say he also never
told them she could become violent or pose
a threat to YouTube employees.
Federal and state investigators have
searched two homes associated with the
family, collecting evidence.
Nasim Aghdam also ran a Farsi-language
ties, according to the report.
Though the City Council adopted an ordi-
nance allowing commercial cannabis culti-
vation, manufacturing and testing in
December, no commercial cannabis busi-
nesses are currently operating in the city.
Because many of the transactions would be
between businesses and would fall under the
resale sales tax exemption, San Carlos
would not receive revenue from the sales tax
even if one were to open, according to the
report.
Projections by city staff estimate addi-
tional general fund revenue of $200,000 if
an excise tax were to be implemented in the
city, which could grow to $500,000 if the
City Council were to allow retail cannabis
businesses in the future. Should the council

measures for either or both taxes, language

But for those which offer platforms likely
to evoke strong emotions among its cus-
tomers, Wheatley said it is reasonable to
expect more strict safety policies would be
established to prevent a similar incident.
“To the degree that the company monitors
social media and has a finger on the pulse of
customers and people who may have strong
feelings about the business, products and
services they offer — if they currently have
an open campus or offer amenities to the
community, they may have to rethink that,”
he said.
Precautions should expand beyond poten-
tially prohibiting public access to corpo-
rate property, added Wheatley, who encour-
aged companies to more ardently monitor
user feedback.
Tracking frustrated patrons who publicly
express their disdain for a company — as
Aghdam did on a variety of social media
platforms prior to her attack — could be an
effective preventative measure, said
Wheatley.
“Having that capability to proactively
diffuse and address these issues before it
gets to a point where someone takes matters
into their own hands is a key outcome,” he

One video was a tutorial about how to

originated in Iran but is heavily suppressed

People in Iran expressed pity and shock
that Aghdam would shoot others in a coun-
try that allows more social media freedom.
State TV briefly reported the shooting based
on international reports.
Hossein Naderi, a 23-year-old art student
in Tehran, questioned why Aghdam chose to

Sandoval caps stellar career Sharks zeroing

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Breanna Sandoval’s first three years
as a Menlo-Atherton goalkeeper was
about as good as it gets.
After seeing part-time action as a
freshman, Sandoval took over the
starting job for the Bears’ 2016
Central Coast Section championship
soccer team. Last season, Sandoval
played with one of the best teams in
school history as they won their first
Peninsula Athletic League title since
1998 by going undefeated, qualified
for the inaugural CCS Open Division
bracket and pitched a 3-0 shutout in
the first round over an unbeaten Palo
Alto squad.
This season, however, was differ-
ent. Gone were eight starters and after
three years of happily going along
with the program, Sandoval was now
thrust into a leadership role as a team
captain and tasked with helping blend
a gaggle of newcomers, including a
pair of talented freshmen.
But with Sandoval anchoring the
defense and cajoling her teammates,
many who were stepping into varsity
roles for the first time, the Bears won
their second straight Bay Division
championship with a 9-3-3 record and
qualified for the Open Division for the
second year in a row with an overall
mark of 12-6-3.
“(Her first three years) she was just
trying to fit in. This year, it was inter-
esting to see her take (on a leadership
role),” M-A head coach Jason Luce

Martin Jones stopped 23 shots for the

Less than three minutes into the first

the arm or stick of a Colorado defender,
giving Bernier no chance to adjust.
The Avalanche tied the score with a
power-play goal at 15:17. Jones blocked
the first two shots but could not control
them. The second bounced free toward the

A’s had their chances, but let Rangers off the hook
By Michael Wagaman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAKLAND — Texas left-hander Martin
Perez had to get a little crafty to keep things
from getting out of hand in his first start of
the year.
It was a lot easier than dodging a bull —
something Perez wasn’t so successful doing
in the offseason, which led to the 27-year-old
getting a late jump in spring training.
Perez allowed 10 hits but pitched into the
sixth inning and Texas held on to beat the
Oakland Athletics 6-3 before another sparse
crowd on Thursday.
“He seemed to be right back where he was at
the end of the year confidence-wise, ability to
throw strikes,” Rangers manager Jeff
Banister said.
“He was only behind three hitters. What I
loved the most is that he continued to pound
the strike zone, use the sinker, the four-seam-
er and his off-speed stuff and nothing seemed
to rattle him.”
Adrian Beltre singled and doubled to
become the all-time hits leader among Latin-
born players. Shin-Soo Choo homered for
the second consecutive day and Nomar

P Marquette King signs
with Raiders’ rival Denver
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Marquette King has
signed a three-year, $7 million contract with
the Denver Broncos less than a week after his
surprising release from the Oakland Raiders.
King said he wasn’t sure if his oft-flagged on-
field antics, which included a bucking’ bronco
celebration, is what led Jon Gruden to release
him but he said, “the Broncos encourage you to
be yourself.”
King also said signing with the Raiders’ AFC

Mazara added two hits to help the Rangers
split the four-game series.
The crowd of 10,132 was the largest of the
series, which attracted 34,613 total for the
four games.
Perez (1-0) was activated off the disabled
list before the game and allowed three runs
and 10 hits over 5 1-3 innings.
Perez was set back in spring training after
breaking his right (non-pitching) elbow in
December in an incident with a bull on his
Venezuelan ranch.
The lefty pitched with runners on base
every inning on Thursday, but repeatedly
induced ground balls to keep the damage to a
minimum.
“I didn’t have my best stuff but I can finally
compete,” Perez said. “I had fun out there. It’s
good to recover from surgery and help your
team win. They hit the ball three times hard. I
think I did a great job.”
Four relievers combined for eight outs and
Keone Kela pitched the ninth for his second
save.
The A’s put runners on the corners with no
outs in the seventh but failed to score. Texas
West rival “was somewhat
of a revenge factor, too” so
that he can face his former
team twice a season.

shut down another potential rally in the
eighth when right fielder Mazara threw out
Piscotty at second base trying to stretch a
single into a double.
“We swung the bat better the last two days
but today was simply a case of not getting big
hits when we needed to,” Oakland manager
Bob Melvin said. “We’re going to have to do
better than that.”
Jed Lowrie had three hits for Oakland. Chad
Pinder, Matt Chapman and Stephen Piscotty
added two hits apiece.
Beltre doubled off Oakland starter Daniel
Mengden (0-2) and scored in the second then
singled in the eighth. With 3,055 hits, Beltre
is tied with Rickey Henderson for 24th place
on the hits list.
“It’s obviously humbling,” Beltre said.
“It’s hard to believe that I caught up to those
guys. It is because I’ve been playing for a
long time and I’ve been lucky enough to stay
on the field.”
Mengden allowed four runs and five hits in
5 1-3 innings and took a line drive off his
plant foot in the second inning. The right-
hander, winless in 13 starts at the Coliseum,
dropped to the turf and was in pain for several
moments but recovered to stay in the game.

In a matchup of undefeated Bay Division
heavyweights, it was the xx-time defending
Bears who took a big step toward another
Bay title with the win over the Scots.
The two teams splits the four singles
matches, with M-A winning two of the three
doubles to take the victory.
M-A was led by Jake Andrews at No. 4 sin-

Conrad and Griffin Voss. Both won their
match in straight sets at love, 6-0, 6-0.
Jeffrey Jorgensen dropped only four games

the No. 1 position, worked for a 7-6, 7-5

slid back into the No. 2 singles slot, topped

strikeouts. However, with one out and the
wicked third-strike changeup diving into the
dirt, Scots catcher Kate Berce had to throw to
first base to get the out. With the throw, St.
Francis junior Andrea Delfino dashed home to
score the go-ahead run.
“They’re known for their quickness on the
bases,” McLemore said. “So, we just need to
be prepared for that next time.”
McLemore took a hard-luck loss despite
setting down 14 of the last 15 batters she
faced. Delfino was the only outlier, scorching
a single back through the middle to start the
sixth. St. Francis manufactured the game-
winning run from there. Delfino stole second
on the very next pitch, then moved to third
on a groundout to the left side of the infield —
fundamentally not a play on which a base run-
ner should advance, but the aggressive
Lancers were keen to take the extra base every
chance they got.
“One of the things I try to get the girls to do
is to not be satisfied with just getting to the
next base,” Lancers head coach Mike Oakland
said, “but wanting to get to the base after and
have that aggressive mindset. Sometimes
they do and sometimes they don’t. They had
it better today.”
Delfino’s swipe of home on the strikeout
play was another gutsy move by St. Francis,
and another of several little mistakes by
Carlmont that added up. The Scots also saw
two of their own base runners get hung out to
dry in rundowns in the late innings.
With the game still tied in the bottom of
the fifth, Carlmont leadoff hitter Ashley
Trierweieler scorched a liner at a St. Francis
outfielder that got dropped, allowing the
speedy junior to reach first on an error.
Samantha Chu followed with a sacrifice bunt
to move Trierweieler to second.
On the following play, though, Tayler Wise
hit a grounder to shortstop Hannah Damore,
but Damore astutely faked a throw to first and
caught Trierweieler too far off the bag at sec-

ond, and St. Francis ran her down for the sec-
ond out of the inning.
In the sixth, Carlmont junior Logan
Bonetti got hit by a pitch to open the frame.
The Scots pinch ran for Bonetti, and looked
to be in business when Amanda Kondo bunted
and reached first base on an error. Damore
backed up the play to shine again though,
chasing down the ball in foul territory and, as
the Carlmont runner turned too wide around
second, fired to the bag to induce another run-
down out.
All-in-all, Carlmont saw seven base run-
TERRY BERNAL/DAILY JOURNAL
ners reach scoring position in the final six
innings with nothing to show for it.
“What I told the girls after the game is, if
we do make a base running mistake, if we’re
being aggressive, I can deal with it,”
Giuliacci said. “Just, making a mental base-
running mistake, and not being aggressive.
…”
He added: “They were both more towards the
aggression.”
Of the latter of the two rundowns, though,
Giuliacci said: “It probably wasn’t the right
time to be aggressive.”
St. Francis starting pitcher Jordan Schuring,
who danced through trouble all day long but
continued to take the sting out of the
Carlmont bats. That’s quite an accomplish-
ment seeing as the Scots entered the game
hitting .363 as a team.
“I think she spun it pretty good,” Oakland
said. “Mixed her pitches up with locations up
and down, in and out. She kept them off bal-
ance. And we were fortunate enough to be able
to put [McLemore] on base a couple times
(via intentional walk) without pitching to
her.”
McLemore’s only official at-bat came in
the first inning. St. Francis opened the game
with two unearned runs in the top of the first,
without ever getting the ball out of the
infield. But the Scots tied it in the bottom of
the frame when McLemore drove home
Trierweieler on an RBI groundout, and Eimear
Cunningham did the same to drive home Chu.
In each of McLemore’s final two plate
appearances, she came up with a runner on
and first base open. So, the Lancers bypassed
the senior hitting .552 with five home runs
and 24 RBIs.
“She’s their best hitter,” Oakland said.
“She’s one of the best hitters in the section,
if not the best. So, I kind of went into the
game with the mindset: We can’t let her beat
us if we don’t have to.”
Said McLemore: “I’m not used to it this
year because I had (now-graduated power hit-
ter) Cameron Kondo in front of me last year,
so I was the one who they wanted to pitch to
instead of her. It’s frustrating but I have a lot
of faith in my teammates knowing they can
come and pick me up. Today just wasn’t the
day. But we know we’ll get them back next
time.”
Obviously, Carlmont is still in a position
of power in its quest to return to the CCS
Open Division playoffs this year. In 2017,
the Scots reached the Open Division semifi-
nals as the No. 1 seed but were upset by even-
tual champion Mitty.
“The team’s a super strong team,” Giuliacci
said. “They can go as far as they want to go.
And I’ve told them that. It’s up to them.”

The ripples of a scandal

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Ambiguous and damning at once,

the moon landing, the Manson

It was six years since the assassi-

Cosby’s retrial jury mirrors

first on gender and race
By Michael R. Sisak
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NORRISTOWN, Pa. — After a showdown
over race, the jury picked to decide Bill
Cosby’s fate in the first big trial of the
#MeToo era ended up mirroring the gender
and racial makeup of the group that dead-
locked last year: seven men and five women
— 10 white, two black.
Race dominated Wednesday’s jury selec-
tion.
Cosby’s lawyers alleged a member of the
prosecution team made a disparaging remark
after prosecutors rejected one of the few
black women considered for the case. The
defense, which argued nixing her was ille-
gal, never revealed the remark they claim
was said and eventually agreed to pick more
jurors.
District Attorney Kevin Steele rejected the
allegations, saying that prosecutors had no
problem seating the two other black people
who had appeared for individual questioning.
He contended that Cosby’s lawyers were

Wednesday was the only
black person to reach
that stage.
Bill Cosby The jury for Cosby’s
first trial was selected
from about 300 miles away in the Pittsburgh
area. The retrial jury is being picked from the
same county where the 80-year-old Cosby is
on trial on charges he drugged and molested
a woman in 2004.
“This man faces the rest of his life in jail,”
lawyer Kathleen Bliss said, arguing Cosby,

“There’s absolutely no legitimacy to
this,” Steele said.
Both sides returned to court on Thursday to
select six alternates. Cosby stumbled slight-
ly getting out of an SUV and then put a hand
up to say he was OK before walking into the
courthouse.
A majority of jurors summoned as poten-
tial alternates Thursday said they had already
formed an opinion on the comedian’s guilt
or innocence, and three-quarters of them said
it would be a hardship to serve. All but a few
in the pool of 120 said they had seen some-
thing in the news about the Cosby case and
the #MeToo movement against sexual mis-
conduct.
The battle over the black juror’s removal
Wednesday highlighted a vast racial dispari-
ty that limited the number of black people
available for consideration in the suburban
Philadelphia jury pool.
Just 10 of about 240 prospective jurors
questioned on the first three days of jury
selection were black, or about 4.2 percent.
The black population in Montgomery
County is about 9.6 percent black, accord-
ing to the latest U.S. Census estimates.
The county says the names of people
called for jury duty are selected randomly
from a master list that combines voter regis-
tration records and driver’s license records.
Two of the six black people in an initial
prosecutors from excluding prospective
jurors because of their race. The defense had
made the same argument on Tuesday regard-
ing the prosecution’s exclusion of several
white men, but O’Neill rejected it.
Cosby says the encounter with former
Temple University women’s basketball
administrator Andrea Constand was consen-
sual.
The retrial jury appeared to skew younger
than the hung jury from last year’s trial.
Eight of the jurors picked this week are mid-
dle-aged men or women. The rest are millen-
nials or on the cusp of middle-age.
Last year’s panel included a man in his 80s
who told reporters he was suspicious of
Constand’s story and suspected that “poli-
tics was involved” in reviving the decade-
old case with “no stained clothing, no
smoking gun, nothing.”
The man, who spoke to the Associated
Press on condition of anonymity because of
the sensitivity of the deliberations, had
insight into what jurors could be in for when
they deliberate the charges.
“Crying by men and by women and more
than one,” he said. “And the tears came
towards the end, it was so tense.”
Prosecutors plan to call as many as five
additional accusers in a bid to portray Cosby
— the former TV star once revered as
“America’s Dad” for his family sitcom “The
Cosby Show” — as a serial predator.

Eggplant and chicken marinara, a one-dish-wonder

By Melissa d’Arabian
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Many eggplant recipes start
with slicing or dicing and sauteing
in oil. But this approach can add a
lot of unnecessary fat to your dish,
as porous eggplant flesh absorbs
oil like a sponge as it cooks, lead-
ing most of us to add more fat than
we realize. Instead, consider roast-
ing the eggplant whole.
Simply pop the entire eggplant
in a hot oven — prick a few holes
for steam to escape and lightly
spray or rub with the tiniest bit of
olive oil to keep the skin moist —
and in 20-45 minutes (depending
on size), your eggplant will be
cooked and ready to join almost
any recipe.
Besides being a healthier cook-
ing method than frying, roasting
is easier, almost completely
hands-off. You can even roast the
eggplant a day in advance to make
weeknight meals even faster.
Roast just until tender, cut up into
cubes and make a stir fry, or cut
roasted eggplant into large
chunks and cover in marinara
sauce and sprinkle of cheese and
bake for a low-oil version of egg-
plant parm.
Or roast until completely soft,
and scoop out the flesh and mix
with garlic, smoked paprika and
Greek yogurt for a delicious dip.
Either way, you’ll get all the ben-
efits of eggplant, with its high
fiber, low-sugar count, and wide
variety of vitamins and minerals,
without adding unnecessary fat.
Save the fat, I say, for tasty ingre-
dients like a modest amount of
cheese.
Today’s recipe, eggplant and
chicken marinara, is a one-dish-
wonder, where you have veggie,
Eggplant and chicken marinara is a one-dish-wonder, where you have veggie, complex carbohydrates, and
chicken all in one gorgeous dish that is simple enough for family meals, but pretty enough for company.
complex carbohydrates, and
chicken all in one gorgeous dish
that is simple enough for family
meals, but pretty enough for com-
pany.
Leftover cooked brown rice and
chicken add heft to the super-low-
calorie eggplant (under 30 calo-
ries a cup), but note you can make
this meatless simply by leaving
out the chicken. The result is
somewhere between an eggplant-
chicken parm and an eggplant
gratinee.
But no matter what you decide to
call it, enjoy knowing your family
is loading up on veggies as they
dig in. Using baby eggplant or
Japanese eggplant means the skin
is soft enough to eat, which will
only add to the nutrient profile.
EGGPLANT AND
CHICKEN MARINARA
Servings: 6
Start to finish: 1 hour, 15 min-
utes
4 small eggplants (“baby” or
“Japanese” eggplant at the gro-
cery store)
1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
1 medium yellow onion, diced
(about 1 1/2 cups)
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 cups cooked brown rice
2 cups cubed cooked chicken
breast
2 cups prepared marinara sauce
(no sugar added)
3/4 cup shredded Italian cheese
(half mozzarella; half parmesan),
divided
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Fresh basil for garnish (option-
al)
Preheat the oven to 400 F. Rub 1
teaspoon of the olive oil over all
the eggplants, prick once or twice
each with a fork, and roast them
on a baking sheet until soft, about
30 minutes. Allow to cool 15-30
minutes.
Once cool enough to handle,
slice the eggplants in half length-
wise, and scoop out the flesh.
Select the 6 prettiest eggplant
skin halves for stuffing and set
aside. Roughly chop the eggplant
flesh into cubes (don’t worry if it’s
“pulpy” from roasting and doesn’t
hold a cube shape.)
In a large saute pan, cook the
diced onion, salt and pepper in the
remaining 2 teaspoons of olive
oil over medium heat until soft,
about 5-7 minutes, stirring fre-
quently. Add the eggplant flesh,
garlic and dried herbs and cook
another 3 minutes. Add the wine
and stir, allowing most to evapo-
rate over a minute or two, and then
remove from heat.
Stir in the cooked rice, the
chicken, and 1/4 cup of the
cheese. Taste the filling for sea-
soning and adjust if needed.
Gently spoon the filling into the
reserved 6 eggplant skin halves.
Pour the marinara sauce into the
large saucepan (wipe out any
remaining filling first, if needed).
Place the filled eggplant skins
gently on top of the sauce and top
with remaining shredded cheese.
Place the saucepan in the oven
and bake until sauce and filling are
hot and cheese is melted, about 20
minutes. Serve with fresh basil, if
desired.

‘Chappaquiddick’ puts focus on aftermath of Kennedy accident
By Ryan Pearson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Jason Clarke plunged
into frigid waters, repeatedly, for his role as
the late Sen. Ted Kennedy in
“Chappaquiddick.”
The Australian actor said his research
about the accident that thwarted
Kennedy’s presidential chances included
jumping into Poucha Pond, the same
waters the Massachusetts Democrat’s car
crashed into in July 1969, killing Mary
Jo Kopechne.
Clarke said the indie film, which is in
limited release on Friday, doesn’t try to sen-
sationalize the accident, which Kennedy
failed to report for 10 hours.
He said the film sticks “to the facts as
much as we could and to play it out without
scandalizing, without going to the tabloid
of it.”
“This man committed this act and he
worked his way out of it with help and with
his own moral journey to the other side,
where he then became one of the longest-
serving senators in history. I don’t think —
partisanship aside — you can’t take away
from what he did.”
Kennedy went to Martha’s Vineyard to
race in the Edgartown Regatta and on the
evening of July 18, 1969, attended a party
at a rented house on Chappaquiddick Island.
Guests included Kennedy friends and several
women, including Kopechne, who had
worked on the presidential campaign of his

Chappaquiddick Island, off Martha’s
Vineyard, late at night on July 18. With him
was 28-year-old Mary Jo Kopechne, a for-
mer campaign worker for Bobby (played by
Kate Mara in the film), who died underwater.
Kennedy escaped from the car, submerged in
eight feet of water. Whatever his efforts
were to free Kopechne, they were futile. It
took him 10 hours to report the incident to
the police. Kennedy attributed the delay to a
concussion and exhaustion.
Chappaquiddick has long loomed in the
political imagination as a kind of definitive
yet murky scandal. Curran’s film — a profile
in cowardice, you might call it — is princi-
pally an effort to visualize and understand
that evening. It’s a low-key, generally
absorbing if somewhat lackluster procedur-
al that ominously reflects on the darker
shadows that loom behind even the bright-

Chappaquiddick has long loomed in the political imagination as a kind of definitive yet murky
scandal. John Curran’s film — a profile in cowardice, you might call it — is principally an effort
to visualize and understand that evening.
brother Robert F. Kennedy, assassinated a
year earlier.
Kennedy and Kopechne, 28, left the party
together and a short time later their car
plunged into Poucha Pond. Kennedy
escaped from the submerged vehicle and
said he made several futile attempts to res-
cue Kopechne, who was trapped inside.
Kennedy, who died in 2009, later
described his failure to report the incident to
police for 10 hours as “indefensible.”
est shining political hopes.
Jason Clarke, the Australian actor of
“Zero Dark Thirty” and “Dawn of the Planet
of the Apes,” plays Kennedy. We’ve been so
awash in hackneyed Kennedy brogues and
caricatured portrayals that Clarke’s perform-
ance — stout, nuanced, understated almost
to a fault — is an unexpected relief. His
Teddy is a little more taciturn than the
statesman was, but Clarke carries himself
with the assumed importance and natural
magnetism of a Kennedy.
There are Shakespearean shades to the
tale. As seen in the opening television
interview, Kennedy is acutely aware that he
pales in comparison to his late brothers.
After the accident, he lies on the bridge
looking up at the moon his brother’s astro-
nauts were at that moment approaching.
He’s hard drinking. His wife and children are
nowhere near him. His incapacitated 80-
year-old father (Bruce Dern) has the ability
to utter few words, as a stroke victim, but he
makes each one hurt. “You will never be
great,” he tells Teddy after the accident.
When his son first calls to tell him about
Clarke visited the bridge and pond as part
of his research for the film, even jumping
in.
“It’s pretty much unchanged apart from
the bridge itself has got guard rails and
wider. There’s no other buildings. The Dike
House is still there, the same place. It’s
dark. There’s no lights on the road,” he
said. “The water is dark and the current is
strong.”
“I think I held my breath for five seconds
the crash, Joe wheezes only “alibi” and
hangs up.
These are elements that make Teddy a
sympathetic figure. But “Chappaquiddick,”
penned straightforwardly by Taylor Allen
and Andrew Logan, casts an equally critical
eye on him as he launches into full damage
control mode. Teddy’s own initially wrong-
footed efforts at controlling the media
storm are quickly corrected by some of the
Kennedy family operatives who rush in,
including Theodore Sorensen (Taylor
Nichols) and Robert McNamara (an excel-
lent Clancy Brown). The smoke-filled room
takes command, and Teddy takes his march-
ing orders.
Ed Helms plays Kennedy’s cousin and
fixer Joe Gargan, who functions like
Teddy’s conscience, pleading for accounta-
bility and truth. But he’s batted aside with
little trouble. A week after the incident,
Kennedy pleaded guilty to leaving the scene
of an accident and received a two-month sus-
pended sentence. He addressed the nation in
a prime-time broadcast and a year later easi-
ly won re-election. But partly if not entire-

to see where I came up. And I came up a big
distance away,” Clarke said.
Kennedy’s underwater escape was recreat-
ed in the waters of the Pacific Ocean off
Mexico. Clarke said the scene was hard to
shoot not only because of the ocean’s cold
water, but also because he had to get out of
the car while upside down.
The film, an Entertainment Studios
release, spends more time on the aftermath
of the accident. Clarke said viewers should
leave theaters with a greater understanding
of Kennedy.
“You can be with Ted a bit. You cannot just
externalize it and say bad, horrible, disgust-
ing man. You might want to at the end, but
you can be there for it: on the phone after-
wards, the walk back, the swim, the lies, the
made-up story — or perhaps it’s actually
really what did happen. But you can actually
stay there with Ted. Not enough to be a
Kennedy, but enough to almost touch him,”
he said.
Jim Gaffigan, who plays attorney Paul
Markham, one of the co-hosts of the party
that Kennedy and Kopechne left together,
agreed.
“We all have earlier versions of ourselves
that we’re not crazy about. At least I do,” he
said. “So there is something very interest-
ing about the journey that Ted goes
through, and being exposed to his relation-
ship with his father,” he said. “Look, it’s
not a documentary, but there is an attempt
to be objective and ask objective ques-
tions.”
ly because of Chappaquiddick, he would
never be president. Kennedy may well have
been the front-runner for denying Nixon a
second term. His 1980 presidential cam-
paign fizzled.
But Kennedy, of course, went on to serve
four more decades in the Senate. He was one
of the longest serving, most influential leg-
islators in 20th-century America. So what’s
the legacy of Chappaquiddick? How are
Kennedy’s accomplishments to be recon-
ciled with that night? Those aren’t ques-
tions much pursued in the largely self-con-
tained “Chappaquiddick.” Curran, the pre-
cise and restrained filmmaker of “The
Painted Veil” and “Tracks,” is content to let
the record speak for itself and perhaps sug-
gest: Some politicians get away with more
than they ought to.
“Chappaquiddick, ” an Entertainment
Studios release, is rated PG-13 by the
Motion Picture Association of America for
“thematic material, disturbing images,
some strong language, and historical smok-
ing.” Running time: 101 minutes. Two and a
half stars out of four.

Describing Social Security as the
most successful social insurance pro-
gram in the history of the United
States, Eshoo explained that while the
program has never missed a payment in
its 84-year history or added to the
national deficit, changes are needed to
ensure the program can continue to
offer benefits to the generations of
Americans who have paid into it.
“One of the things that most people
don’t take into consideration is how
long we pay into the system,” she said.
“Today we have fewer people working
for the amounts that need to be paid out,
and that’s one of the challenges.”
Noting the last major changes to
Social Security were implemented in
1983, Larson said changes are needed if
payouts to seniors, disabled individuals
and other beneficiaries are to keep pace
with the costs they are facing today.
Larson said the program is not in dan-
ger of running out of funds, but may pay
out less over time if lawmakers do not
collaborate on a path toward adjusting
the contributions workers pay into the
plan and ensuring those who are no
longer working are able to get the most
out of their benefits.
Dubbed the Social Security 2100 Act,
the bill Eshoo and Larson are hoping
gains momentum as congressional
leaders head toward midterm elections
includes a 2 percent increase in the
average benefit eligible individuals
receive and a cost-of-living adjustment
based on the expenses recipients are
likely to incur, such as prescriptions
and doctors visits. Setting a new mini-
mum benefit at 25 percent above the
poverty line and increasing the thresh-
old for Social Security benefits that are
taxed are also expected to improve the

Case Number: 18-PRO-00019
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of Eddie Young, Jr. A Peti-
tion for Probate has been filed by Habitat
for Humanity in the Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo. The
Petition for Probate requests that a court-
appointed fiduciary be appointed as per-
sonal representative to administer the
estate of the decedent.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: APR. 20, 2018 at
9:00 a.m., Department 28, Room 2F,
Superior Court of California, County of
San Mateo, 400 County Center, Red-
wood City, CA 94063.
If you object to the granting of the peti-
tion, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hear-
ing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent cred-
itor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representa-
tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under sectioin
9052 of the California Probate Code.Oth-
er California statutes and legal authority
may affect your rights as a creditor. You
may want to consult with an attorney
knowledgable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition

Trump says he didn’t know about payment to Stormy Daniels

By Catherine Lucey
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE — President
Donald Trump said Thursday he didn’t know
about the $130,000 payment his personal
attorney made to Stormy Daniels, issuing a
firm denial in his first public comments
about the adult-film actress who alleges she
had an affair with him.
Asked aboard Air Force One whether he
knew about the payment, Trump said flatly:
“No.”
Trump also said he didn’t know why his
longtime lawyer, Michael Cohen, had made
the payment.
“You’ll have to ask Michael Cohen.
Michael is my attorney. You’ll have to ask
Michael, ” he said. He now seeking to invalidate that agreement.
added that he didn’t know Her attorney, Michael Avenatti said in a

such thing as an NDA. ”
Cohen didn’t immediately respond to
requests for comment Thursday.
Daniels, one of several women pursuing
potentially damaging legal action against
Trump, has kept up the highest profile in
the media, helped by a punchy Twitter feed,
a widely viewed interview on CBS’ “60
Minutes” and a camera-ready attorney who
has become a fixture on cable news.
Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie
Clifford, has offered to return the $130,000
as she tries to “set the record straight.”
She’s said she had sex with Trump once in
2006, and their relationship continued for
about a year. Trump married his current wife,
Melania, in 2005, and their son Barron was
born in 2006.
