Civil suit filed in high-profile murder case
Mother of slain Millbrae man seeks damages from three defendants
By Anna Schuessler
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
As the months leading up to the trial for a
Hillsborough woman charged with conspir-
ing to murder the father of her two children
wear on, the mother of the murdered man is
seeking damages against the three defen-
dants being held responsible for his death,
according to a civil lawsuit filed in San
Mateo County Superior Court Friday.
The mother of Millbrae man Keith Green,
who was found dead May 11, 2016, in
Sonoma County some two weeks after he
went missing, Colleen Cudd is suing his ex-
girlfriend Tiffany Li, her boyfriend Kaveh
Bayat and Olivier Adella, a Burlingame man
who last month took a plea deal and admit-
ted to being involved in disposing of
Green’s body after the murder.
Alleging the trio’s premeditated actions
resulted in the wrongful death of her 27-
year-old son, Cudd is seeking compensatory
and punitive damages, among other costs,
on behalf of Green’s estate and his two
daughters, according to the suit.
Though 32-year-old Li and 31-year-old
Bayat face charges for Green’s murder at
their Sept. 17 trial, Adella, 42, faces a max-

How Facebook likes could profile voters
By Barbara Ortutay
and Anick Jesdanun
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Facebook “likes” can tell a
lot about a person. Maybe even enough to
fuel a voter-manipulation effort like the one a
Trump-affiliated data-mining firm stands
accused of — and which Facebook may have
enabled.
The social network is under fire after The
New York Times and The Guardian newspaper
reported that former Trump campaign consult-
ant Cambridge Analytica used data, including
user likes, inappropriately obtained from
roughly 50 million Facebook users to try to
influence elections.

end investments in guns

By Kathleen Ronayne
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — Families of mass shoot-
ing victims and others called Monday for the
nation’s largest public pension fund to stop
investing in companies that sell assault
weapons and devices that allow guns to fire
more rapidly.
“Divesting in these companies that sell
these weapons will send a clear message that
the thoughts and prayers that are sent when
these tragedies occur are not enough — the
state of California is demanding change,”
said Renee Wetzel, whose husband, Mike,
was killed in the 2015 San Bernardino terror-
ist attack. “Don’t let my husband’s death be
in vain.”
The California Public Employees’
Retirement System board declined to take
action and will further discuss its invest-
ments and divestments in gun-related compa-
nies next year. Several board members argued
remaining an investor gives the fund more
influence over shaping company policy.
Four of the five gun retailers CalPERS
invests in, including Dick’s Sporting Goods
and Walmart, have already stopped selling
assault weapons and devices like bump
stocks. The fund does not invest in assault
weapons manufacturers.
California Treasurer John Chiang, a
Democratic candidate for
governor who is leading
the effort, said he wants
the board move forward
on divesting from the
fifth company,
Sportsman’s Warehouse
Holdings. A spokesper-
son for the company

John Chiang reached for comment.
“At some point you have to stand up and
you have to put up a big fight so people
understand it’s just not talk,” he said.
Joining Chiang were Wetzel and about a
dozen other family members of San
Bernardino and other mass shooting victims,
as well as California alumni of Marjory
Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland,
Florida, where 17 people were killed in
February. New Jersey, Connecticut, Illinois
and New York also are discussing divesting
from gun-related companies.
Critics called the effort a political ploy
that would hurt the pension fund’s bottom
line.
“This is nothing more than a political ploy
for you and your run for governor,” said
Jason Perez, a representative of the Corona
Police Officers Association who said the
board should focus on keeping the fund in

Republicans tell Donald Trump: Lay

off Mueller — but then take no action
By Mary Clare Jalonick,
Zeke Miller and Chad Day
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — More
Republicans are telling President
Donald Trump in ever blunter
terms to lay off his escalating
criticism of special counsel
Robert Mueller and the Russia
probe. But party leaders are tak-
ing no action to protect Mueller,
embracing a familiar strategy
with the president — simply wait-
ing out the storm.
Trump blistered Mueller and his
investigation all weekend on
Twitter and started in again on
Monday, questioning the probe’s
legitimacy with language no
recent president has used for a fed-
eral inquiry. “A total WITCH
HUNT with massive conflicts of
interest!” Trump tweeted.
Mueller is leading a criminal
probe into whether Trump’s 2016
presidential campaign had ties to
Russia and whether there has been
obstruction of justice since then.
Trump was told to cut it out on
Sunday by such notable
Republicans as Trey Gowdy,
chairman of the House Oversight
Committee, and Bob Corker,
chairman of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee. Then on
Monday he was told that firing
Mueller would be “the stupidest
thing the president could do” by
Orrin Hatch, chairman of the
Senate Finance Committee.
But Hatch, on CNN, also said he

didn’t see any need for legislation
to protect Mueller. And that senti-
ment was widely echoed by GOP
leaders.
In recent months, bills to pro-
tect the special counsel have
stalled, and Republican leaders
have stuck to muted statements
endorsing Mueller or denying he
is in trouble. So far, that tactic
has worked for them as Trump has
lambasted the Russia investiga-
tion on Twitter but allowed
Mueller to continue his work.

issued a statement Sunday tamp-
ing down the speculation, saying
Trump is not “considering or dis-
cussing” Mueller’s removal.
White House spokesman Hogan
Gidley said Trump has “some well-
established frustration” about the
probe but insisted there is no
internal discussion about remov-
ing Mueller.
Separately, Trump’s legal team
has provided documents to
Mueller summarizing their views
on key matters being investigat-
ed, according to a person familiar
with the situation. That person
insisted on anonymity to discuss
the ongoing investigation.
The records were given as
Trump’s lawyers negotiate with
Mueller’s team about the scope
and terms of a possible interview
with the president.
Also, Trump added a new lawyer.
Joseph diGenova, a former U.S.
attorney for the District of
Columbia, will join his team later
this week.
DiGenova has been outspoken
in his defense of Trump, talking
of a “brazen plot” to exonerate
Hillary Clinton in an email inves-
tigation and to “frame” Trump
with a “falsely created crime.”
Multiple White House officials
said Monday that they believe
Trump is now acutely aware of the
political — and even legal —
consequences of taking action
against Mueller. For now, they
predicted, Trump will snipe at
Mueller from the outside.

Donald Trump delivers remarks on ‘combatting the opioid crisis’ at Manchester Community
College in Manchester, N.H.
Donald Trump calls for
death penalty to ‘get
tough’ on drug pushers NYC launches investigation
By Jonathan Lemire
and Darlene Superville
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MANCHESTER, N.H. — Embracing the
tough penalties favored by global strong-
men, President Donald Trump on Monday
brandished the death penalty as a fitting
punishment for drug traffickers fueling the
opioid epidemic.
The scourge has torn through the rural and
working-class communities that in large
numbers voted for Trump. And the president,
though he has come under criticism for
being slow to unveil his plan, has seized on
harsh sentences as key to stopping the
plague.
“Toughness is the thing that they most
fear,” Trump said.
The president made his announcement in
New Hampshire, a state hit hard by opioids
and an early marker for the re-election cam-
paign he has already announced. Trump
called for broadening education and aware-
ness about drug addiction while expanding
access to proven treatment and recovery
efforts. But the backbone of his plan is to
toughen punishments for those caught traf-
ficking highly addictive drugs.
“This isn’t about nice anymore,” Trump
said. “This is about winning a very, very
tough problem and if we don’t get very
tough on these dealers it’s not going to hap-
pen folks. ... I want to win this battle.”
The president formalized what he had long
mused about: that if a person in the U.S. can
get the death penalty or life in prison for
shooting one person, a similar punishment
should be given to a drug dealer whose prod-
uct potentially kills thousands.
Trump has long spoken approvingly
about countries like Singapore that harshly
punish dealers. During a trip to Asia last
fall, he did not publicly rebuke Philippines
President Rodrigo Duterte, who authorized
STATE/NATION
REUTERS
extrajudicial killings of drug dealers.
Outside a local firehouse that Trump visit-
ed before Monday’s speech, someone com-
pared the two leaders with a sign that said:
“Donald J. Duterte.”
“Drug traffickers kill so many thousands
of our citizens every year,” Trump said.
“That’s why my Department of Justice will
be seeking so many tougher penalties than
we’ve ever had and we’ll be focusing on the
penalties that I talked about previously for
big pushers, the ones that are killing so
many people, and that penalty is going to
be the death penalty.”
He added: “Other countries don’t play
games ... But the ultimate penalty has to be
the death penalty.”
The Justice Department said the federal
death penalty is available for limited drug-
related offenses, including violations of the
“drug kingpin” provisions in federal law.
It is not clear if the death penalty, even for
traffickers whose product causes multiple
deaths, would be constitutional. Doug
Berman, a law professor at Ohio State
University, predicted the issue would go all
the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.
John Blume, a professor and director of
Cornell Law School’s death penalty pro-
gram, said the federal drug kingpin law has
yielded few “kingpins” or major dealers,
mostly ensnaring mid- to low-level minori-
ties involved in the drug trade.
The president’s plan drew criticism from
some Democrats, including Sen. Dick
Durbin of Illinois, who said “we can’t arrest
our way out of the opioid epidemic” and
noted that “the war on drugs didn’t work in
the ‘80s.”
Opioids, including prescription opioids,
heroin and synthetic drugs such as fentanyl,
killed more than 42,000 people in the U.S.
in 2016, more than any other year on
record, according to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention.
Charles Manson cremated
following private funeral
By John Rogers
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Charles Manson was
cremated and his ashes scattered following a
brief, private funeral four months after the
death of the man who gained worldwide
infamy for the 1969 Los Angeles killings of
actress Sharon Tate and others that he hoped
would spark a race war.
The memorial occurred Saturday at a funer-
al home in the California city of Porterville,
according to Mark Pitcher, pastor of the
Church of the Nazarene.
Pitcher, who presided, told the Associated
Press on Monday that about 20 to 25 people
attended, among them Manson’s grandson,
Jason Freeman, and Freeman’s wife, Audrey.
TMZ.com first reported the funeral at the
Porterville Funeral & Cremation Center and
its story included a photo of Manson in an
open casket.
Pitcher said he agreed to the funeral
home’s request to conduct services after he
was told Freeman and his wife are Christians
and that Freeman wanted his grandfather to
have “a proper burial” despite his notoriety.
The pastor declined to reveal who else
attended, but said some were friends of
into Kushner Cos. false filings
By Berdand Condon
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — A New York City council
member launched an investigation Monday
into the Kushner Cos.’ routine filing of
paperwork falsely claiming zero rent-regulat-
ed tenants in its buildings, saying that the
deception should have been uncovered long
ago because the documents are online for all
to see. Councilman Ritchie Torres said the
city’s buildings department should have
spotted the falsified numbers because they
were contradicted by tax documents filed with
another city agency.
“The scandal is not only the deception of
Kushner Cos., the scandal is the dysfunction
of the city bureaucracy,” said Torres, chair of
the city council’s investigations committee.
“The right hand of city government didn’t
know what the left hand was doing.”
The Associated Press reported Sunday that a
tenants’ rights watchdog found that the

Manson reported the attendees
included Manson follower Sandra Good
who, although she was not implicated in the
1969 killings, served 10 years in prison for
sending hundreds of threatening letters to
corporate executives. Also there, the news-
paper said, was Afton Elaine Burton, a
woman Manson took out a license to marry
in 2014 when he was 80 and she was 26. The
couple never wed.
The Manson Family, as the cult leader’s
followers were called, slaughtered five of its
victims on Aug. 9, 1969, at Tate’s home.
They included the actress who was 8 1/2-
months-pregnant, coffee heiress Abigail
Folger, celebrity hairdresser Jay Sebring,
Polish movie director Voityck Frykowski
and Steven Parent, a friend of the estate’s
caretaker.
Kushner Cos. had filed more than 80 con-
struction permit applications for 34 build-
ings across the city between 2013 and 2016
stating it had no rent-regulated units. But tax
documents showed more than 300 rent-regu-
lated units.
The falsified documents allowed the
Kushner Cos. to escape extra scrutiny during
construction projects, when the family real
estate developer was run by Jared Kushner,
who is now senior adviser to his father-in-
law, President Donald Trump. Housing
Rights Initiative, a watchdog group, said the
falsified documents made it easier for the
Kushner Cos. to harass rent-regulated tenants
so that it could push out low-paying tenants
and replace them with higher paying ones.
Current and former tenants of three build-
ings in Queens once owned by the Kushner
Cos. told the AP that they were subjected to
extensive construction, with banging,
drilling, dust and leaking water that they
believe were part of targeted harassment to
get them to leave.

Fear mounts as Texas serial bomber uses tripwire

By Paul J. Weber
and Will Weissert
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
AUSTIN, Texas — The hunt for
the serial bomber who has been
leaving deadly explosives in pack-
ages on Austin doorsteps took a
new, more sinister turn Monday
when investigators said the fourth
and latest blast was triggered
along a street by a nearly invisible
tripwire.
Police and federal agents said
that suggests a “higher level of
sophistication” than they have
seen before, and means the carnage
is now random, rather than target-
ed at someone in particular.
Underscoring that point, a relative
says the most-recent explosion
left what appeared to be nails stuck
in his grandson’s knees.
“The game went up a little bit —
well, it went up a lot yesterday
with the tripwire,” Christopher
Combs, FBI agent in charge of the
bureau’s San Antonio division,
said in an interview.
Two people have now been
killed and four wounded in bomb-
ings over a span of less than three
weeks.
The latest happened Sunday
night in southwest Austin’s quiet
Travis Country neighborhood,
wounding two men in their 20s
who were walking in the dark.
They suffered what police said were
significant injuries and remained
hospitalized in stable condition.
Police haven’t identified the vic-
tims, but William Grote told the
Associated Press that his grandson
was one of them, saying he is cog-
nizant but still in a lot of pain.
Grote said one of them was riding a
bike in the street and the other was
on a sidewalk when they crossed a
tripwire that he said knocked
“them both off their feet.”
“It was so dark they couldn’t tell
and they tripped,” Grote said.
“They didn’t see it. It was a wire.
And it blew up.”
Grote said his son, who lives
about 100 yards (91 meters) away
from the blast, heard the explo-
sion and raced outside.
“Both of them were kind of
bleeding profusely,” Grote said.

Letters to the editor
Thoughts on the San
Mateo downtown commute
Editor,
Regarding the Trag’s project in San
Mateo (“Second look for mixed-use
Trag’s project” in the March 15 edi-
tion of the Daily Journal), I read
about the suggestion to shut down a
stretch of Baldwin Avenue between
North Ellsworth Avenue and North B
Street to car traffic.
I think this is great for me if I do
not have to drive my wife, who has
arthritis, to the Caltrain station. We,
as well as many of our neighbors liv-
ing near the intersection of Baldwin
and El Camino Real, are retired and
take the train. If we cannot drive to
the train station directly on Baldwin,
it means we have to take detours
driving south on El Camino Real,
left turn on Second Avenue, through
several traffic lights then turn left on
B Street. These are the downtown
streets that are much more congested
than Baldwin.
It’s not only inconvenient for
those who need be taken to the train
station, including those carrying
baggage and taking taxis or Ubers, it
will also worsen the congestion sig-
nificantly in the core area of down-
town. I am all for a pedestrian-friend-
ly downtown and using mass transit,
but I am not aware of any city in the
world that prevents cars or buses
from reaching a train station.

Response to ‘We’re
going to keep fighting’
Editor,
I am currently a junior at Lynbrook
High School in San Jose. Reading
Collin Binkley’s article “We’re
going to keep fighting” in the
March 15 edition of the Daily
Journal about the nationwide stu-
dent-led school walkouts helped me
realize exactly what a pivotal
moment I am living in and made me
want to do more.
When I heard about the Marjory
Stoneman Douglas High School
shooting, my first thought was that
it was just another shooting. After
every school shooting, news sta-
tions capture headlines, and words of
condolences pour in to the communi-
ties affected. Every time, lawmakers
fail to address the real issues at hand,
and they fail to create real solutions
that would prevent so much suffering
from occurring again.
But the Stoneman Douglas shoot-
ing is different. In its aftermath, stu-
dents are using their voices to

protest that and demand immediate

At 10 a.m. March 14, I walked out
of my second period class. I listened
to and was inspired by fellow stu-
dents speaking out about the issues
we are fighting for, observed 17 sec-
onds of silence for the 17 Parkland

low classmates. This gave me hope.
I believe that our movement can

Continued relevance of
gun control and Parkland
Editor,
In the Student News column “The
march for our lives” in the March 10-
11 edition of the San Mateo Daily
Journal, journalist Sophie Penn
writes passionately about the need to
speak out clearly and demonstrate
forcefully for stricter gun laws and
common sense gun regulation.
This column is timely and neces-
sary for so many reasons. Would that
our entire country could have the
honesty and sincerity of our younger
generation regarding the ongoing
problem of too many dangerous guns
within society. With each passing
day, we are indebted to the coura-
geous and outspoken students at
Marjory Stoneman Douglas High
School in Parkland, Florida, and
their young allies throughout the
United States who are simply saying
— in the words of Sophie Penn and
her enlightened generation — “We
have had enough.”

Editor,
Regarding the article, “Cracking
the code on parking” (in the March
12 edition of the Daily Journal), I
wonder if the powers-that-be are
aware that some unrestricted parking
is available on Ninth Avenue
between El Camino Real and B Street
for up to 72 hours. Commuters,
recreation vehicles, day workers and
weekenders are among those in the
know.

OPINION
Women in
public office
Editor,
It is heartening that so many more
women are running for public office
than in years past. However, if we
are serious about ensuring that all
parts of our community are repre-
sented in public office, we cannot
stand by the sidelines. To better our
communities, we need to roll up our
sleeves and assist women to run for
office or seek appointive positions.
A new nonpartisan organization
called WIRE for Women is mobiliz-
ing a cadre of women and men to
recruit and elect females to city coun-
cils and school boards as well as
county boards and special districts in
San Mateo and Santa Clara counties.
We also encourage women to seek
appointments to local commissions
and task forces. Through WIRE for
Women, your neighbors are utilizing
their diverse skills to provide free
campaign assistance to female candi-
dates.
Please get involved and encourage
women in your circle to seek
appointment to local commissions
and to run for office. This type of
personal outreach is important
because women usually do not decide
to run on their own — they need to
be recruited.

Water Resource Board
Editor,
It’s time that the California Water
Resources Board does something dif-
ferent than telling us to conserve
water.
With all the building going on in
California, it’s time the board comes
out with actual figures on the water
situation in California. Forget con-
servation; desalination and damming
more rivers can tell us in actual fig-
ures just how much water there is and
how many people, farms and indus-
tries that water will supply. When we
get those true figures maybe this
state will finally decide how many
people we can supply with our water
without changing the lifestyles of
people that live here now. This isn’t
a suggestion, it’s an idea that will
hopefully keep California from over-
populating.

Power of sacrifice
A
German pastor stood beaten and weary in the
moments before his public execution by Nazi
German soldiers in 1945. The tightened noose
around his neck was a firm reminder there was no turning
back. As one last gesture of mercy, he was given an oppor-
tunity to stop preaching hope to the hopeless, convincing
those bound by the chains of prejudice to exchange their
bondage for the freedom that comes with loving all
humankind. He was also told to refrain from denouncing
the genocide perpetrated by the Nazi regime. His name was
Dietrick Bonhoeffer — a world-renowned minister who
dedicated his life to teaching others about the power
behind living a life centered on unconditional love. These
teachings were based on his belief in the legendary sacri-
fice of Jesus Christ in his crucifixion for the sins of all
mankind, and love’s manifest power that resurrected him
three days later.
I would like to think that in
those fateful moments,
Bonhoeffer found the strength to
consider his life’s work and the
impact his next move would
make for generations to come.
History tells us that Bonhoeffer
ardently refused to denounce the
extermination camps and geno-
cide perpetrated by Adolf Hitler’s
regime. He was subsequently
executed by hanging. Chilling
eyewitness accounts suggest
that Bonhoeffer used his final Jonathan Madison
moments before death to pray for his enemies. His fervent
passion for sharing an unconditional love with all of
humanity lives on.
March 25 marks Palm Sunday, a holiday in which believ-
ers around the world commemorate the death and resurrec-
tion of Jesus Christ. In light of this holiday, believers
also recognize the human achievements and sacrifices made
by ministers such as Dietrich Bonhoeffer.
At the height of Nazi Germany’s movement to extermi-
nate the Jewish people during World War II, ministers
throughout Germany held utter silence for fear of their
lives. Among those living in fear, one German minister
actively stood against such acts of tyranny and genocide.
He stood alone as a minister who actively preached against
Adolf Hitler’s extermination of the Jewish people, which
was particularly frowned upon as a German native at the
time. He undoubtedly knew that his teachings put his life
at great risk, but proceeded to teach nonetheless.
Reflecting on Bonhoeffer’s fearless courage reminds me
of a powerful biblical story from the book of Daniel. In
Chapter Three, we learn that King Nebuchadnezzar of
Babylon enacted a law forcing all Babylonian citizens to
worship golden god-like structures created by the king’s
craftsman. The penalty for refusing to bow and submit to
these structures was death by a flaming furnace.
Three Jewish men by the names of Shadrach, Meshach
and Abednego openly refused to abide by the king’s ordi-
nance. As such, they were summoned to stand before the
blazing furnace. Angered, the king gave the men an ultima-
tum: they would either worship the images he constructed
at once or be thrown immediately into the blazing furnace.
The three men replied, “If we are thrown into the blazing
furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it.”
They went on to proclaim that even if the God they served
did not deliver them from the blazing furnace, that they
had an undeniable faith that God could deliver them
nonetheless.
Sure enough, Nebuchadnezzar had each of the men
thrown in the furnace. To his amazement, the King wit-
nessed four individuals walking in the furnace without burn
or blemish. The king and his men witnessed a miracle that
day that ultimately led them to refrain from forcing citi-
zens to bow down to selective gods.
Although Bonhoeffer was executed and did not live to see
it, we know today that months following Bonhoeffer’s
execution, Nazi Germany surrendered in World War II, and
the Nazi extermination of human lives was put to a perma-
nent end.
We all face a Nebuchadnezzar or blazing furnace in our
lives. Such challenges often come in the form of financial
struggles, shortcomings, job losses and moments of
despair. Nevertheless, we must continue to push forward
with the same faith as Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego and
Bonhoeffer — unafraid of the trials that may come. This
Palm Sunday, let us take a moment to consider sacrifices we
can make for others in our lives through unconditional
love. Let us cling to an unwavering hope that better days
are ahead for each of us. Let us face our challenges head on
with the weapons of empathy, virtue and faith. As Dr.
Martin Luther King said, “With this faith, we will be able
to rise from the fatigue of despair to the buoyancy of
hope.”

Facebook drags tech companies down as stocks slide
By Marley Jay
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Facebook
plunged to its worst loss in four
years Monday and led a rout in
technology companies. The
social media company’s stock fell

The drop in Facebook stock

Volleyball club. This year, though, Smoot
broke away from the year-round commit-
ment to volleyball to focus on track and
field.
“It’s kind of a different year,” Smoot said.
“But change is good.
“I want to play a sport in college,” she
said. “I want to participate there, and track
was more realistic. I could have kept play-
ing volleyball but … I just wanted to play
the highest level I could.”
With the support of arguably the best
shot put thrower San Mateo County has ever
produced, how could Smoot do it any differ-
ently? That’s precisely how the door to
track and field opened for Smoot when, as a
middle school student, a family friend by
the name of Gregg Tafralis said she should
give the sport a try.
Tafralis is a local legend, going from
Capuchino High School to the 1988
Summer Olympics. Smoot met him through
Tafralis’ daughter Alexa, who used to
babysit Smoot and her three siblings. Not
only did he encourage Smoot to give track
and field a try, he now works with her 1-on-
1 as a personal coach.
The results have been evident to NDB
head coach Mike Benedetti.
“She has all the tools,” Benedetti said,
“she has everything you need, she’s an
unusually hard worker. … I wish they were
all like that because she’s a workhorse.”
Smoot’s talent has had an impact on the
coaching structure at NDB as well. NDB is a
sister school of Serra. And with the Tigers
utilizing Serra as their home field, Smoot
made an impression as a freshman on Serra
track coach Jim Marheineke.
Marheineke is a field specialist and, while
he is not officially a coach for NDB, he has

Smoot was the specific reason he wanted to
work with the sister program.
“Her freshman year, I definitely could see

Marheineke said it was Smoot’s work
ethic that helped her excel as a sophomore.
“Just her desire,” Marheineke said. “And
she was kind of taking to it. That helped her
make the leap.”
At Saturday’s St. Francis meet, it was
Marheineke’s encouragement that pushed
Smoot to discus greatness, she said. It was a
rainy day, making it difficult on competi-
tors’ grips. Smoot wasn’t immune, scuf-

throws remaining.
“It wasn’t going too well,” Smoot said. “I

best throws. … Then Mr. Marheineke said:

last throw that she had an even better
approach, but the disc slipped off her fin-
gertips, preventing her from bettering the
record.
It also prevented her from taking first
place. With Smoot’s success has come an
intriguing rivalry with Carly Watts, a fel-
low junior from Terra Nova. Watts surpassed
Smoot in Saturday’s discus showdown on
her final throw with a distance of 137-1.
Shot put is still Smoot’s bread and butter,
though. And now that she has eclipsed the
40-foot plateau, she has designs on taking
her game to the next level. When asked if
she has a 50-foot throw in her, she quickly
responded: “I hope so.”
The only CCS thrower to surpass 50 feet
in recent years was 2016 Valley Christian-
San Jose graduate Elena Bruckner, who like
Smoot was also a two-sport standout who
played volleyball, and track and field.
In Smoot’s pursuit to reach such an elite
level, through this season and the next, she
certainly has the faith of her coaches.
“Barring anything weird health wise,”
Benedetti said, “the sky is the limit for
her.”

Sweet 16 has unexpected field
after many a favorite ousted
By Aaron Beard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — After little
went according to plan in the open-
ing weekend of the NCAA
Tournament, the bracket has a wild-
ly different look for the Sweet 16
than many expected.
Out: Two 1-seeds (Virginia and
Xavier) and a pair of 2-seeds (North
Carolina and Cincinnati).
In: Two No. 11 seeds (Syracuse
and Loyola-Chicago).
There are only seven of the top 16
seeds still alive for the regional
rounds
The Cavaliers’ historic loss to 16-
seed UMBC took out the top overall
seed and thrust Villanova into the
role of favorite, while preseason
No. 1 Duke was dominant in its two
tournament wins.
Despite all the bracket turmoil,
the power conferences managed to
get 12 teams into the Sweet 16, with
four coming from both the Atlantic
Coast Conference and the Big 12.
West
Things were set to go to form
Sunday, only to see top-seeded
Xavier and No. 2 North Carolina
lose. Now Big Ten champion
Michigan headlines the quartet in
Los Angeles.
The third-seeded Wolverines (30-
7) — who beat Houston on a last-
second 3-pointer — will meet sev-
enth-seeded Texas A&M (22-12)
after the Aggies blew out the reign-
ing champion Tar Heels in their
home state.
Fourth-seeded Gonzaga (32-4)
will face ninth-seeded Florida State
(22-11) after the Seminoles’ upset
of the Musketeers .
“I think what you see happening
in college basketball, it’s almost
like a revolution,” FSU coach
Leonard Hamilton said. “And what
happens is you start categorizing
people by the reputation that their
players get going into college.
“But in reality, kids are playing
basketball all over the country and
teams are getting better.”

This is the region that came clos-
est to following the script.

China Dow found her shooting
touch following intermission and
hit the tying and breaking 3s in
the third quarter as FGCU set the 3-
point mark after the Eagles made
nine in the first half.
Dow finished with 23 points all in
the second half and six 3-pointers as
the Eagles ran up their remarkable 3-
point total for the season.
Yet do-everything Dow didn’t
have the kind of steady game she
produced in a first-round win against
fifth-seeded Missouri. She missed
her first five field-goal tries, and
four 3s, before she connected from
deep with 7:39 left in the third for
her first points of the night. She hit
again from 3 at the 6:16 mark of the
third for the single-season record.
The Eagles, without a single 6-
footer on the roster, won 11 of their
final 12 games and 21 of 23.
“I wish I would have grew overnight,
but it didn’t work out that way,” Dow
said playfully while fighting the emo-
tions of her fabulous career ending.
“Their height was very effective.”

West Virginia. And the Wildcats (32-
4) will have the shortest travel
(about 315 miles) by heading to
Boston as they pursue a second
national title in three seasons.
Villanova meets the
Mountaineers (26-10) in one semi-
final Friday, while the Boilermakers
(30-6) face the Red Raiders (26-9) in
the other.
One storyline to watch: the status
of 7-foot-2 Purdue center Isaac Haas,
who broke his elbow in the first-
round win against Cal State
Fullerton. Haas warmed up before
Sunday’s win against Butler but an
official said shortly before tipoff
that the big man’s brace hadn’t been
approved for competition.
Midwest
Consider this one an ACC
Invitational.
Three of the four teams to advance
to Omaha, Nebraska, are from the
ACC: No. 2 Duke, No. 5 Clemson
and No. 11 Syracuse. They’ll join
top-seeded Kansas , with regional
semifinals set for Friday.
The Jayhawks (29-7) are trying to
return to the Final Four for the first
time since 2012 after two straight
regional-final losses. They’ll face
the Tigers (25-9), who are in their
first NCAA Tournament since 2011
and their first Sweet 16 since 1997.
The Blue Devils (28-7) meet the
Orange (23-13), who took out third-
Stanford shot 12 for 17 in the first
quarter to take a 33-17 lead but went 3
of 11 for only 10 points in the second
as their halftime lead was cut to 43-35.

A special ring
This NCAA tournament is espe-
cially memorable for Val Whiting,
who played on the only two
Stanford national champion teams
in 1990 and ‘92.
In late January, Whiting received
her ’90 championship ring back
from a complete stranger who is
now a friend— Julie Mayer Pedilini
in Pennsylvania — after it had been
lost for 20 years.
“I think it’s great that that means
something to her,” VanDerveer said.
“Val is probably one of the best
underrated players that was a great
player at Stanford. A lot of other
people get a lot of attention but she
was the real deal and I’m really excit-
ed that she got her ring back.”

South
This is where there was the most
March Madness.
None of the top-four seeds
advanced, the first time in tourna-
ment history that has happened in a
region. So the games in Atlanta will
now be headlined by 5-seed
Kentucky (26-10).
The Wildcats (26-10) followed
their run to the Southeastern
Conference Tournament title by sur-
viving an upset bid from Davidson
then beating Buffalo — which had
upset fourth-seeded Arizona .
They’ll face another set of Wildcats
on Thursday in ninth-seeded Kansas

historic weekend in Charlotte.
The other game features 7-seed
Nevada (29-7), which tied the tour-
nament’s second-biggest comeback
by rallying from 22 down to beat
No. 2 seed Cincinnati. The Wolf
Pack faces No. 11 seed Loyola-

against No. 6 seed Miami and No. 3
seed Tennessee on final-seconds

Winning makes
McIlroy good as
he already was
By Doug Ferguson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
AUSTIN, Texas — Rory McIlroy had his first
Arnold Palmer moment before the tournament
even started.
He had just finished his pro-am round at Bay
Hill and was about to wallroy obliged, because
he usually does. But this was different.
The man handed him a black bolero hat
and told McIlroy it was from his squadron
when he served in Vietnam. He didn’t want a
selfie with McIlroy. He wanted a picture of
McIlroy wearing the hat that meant so much
to him. The hat looked awkward on him with
golfing attire, but McIlroy didn’t mind.
It’s all about giving the fans what they
want.
Then the 28-year-old from Northern
Ireland gave them something even better
with what McIlroy described as a “perfect
round of golf,” certainly the closing stretch.
He birdied five of the last six holes, capping
it off with a 25-foot putt on the 18th hole to
win the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
That ended his longest drought without a vic-
tory in eight years, and it cast him in a new
light with the Masters approaching.
McIlroy had fallen to No. 13 in the world
when he missed the cut the previous week at
the Valspar Championship, his second
missed cut in four PGA Tour events this year.
He had not been that low in the ranking
since April 25, 2010.
It’s not that he was forgotten; rather, atten-
tion was shifting to so many others that it was
easy to feel overlooked. All it took was one vic-
tory for the conversation to include his bid for a
green jacket to complete the career Grand Slam.
“It’s huge for my confidence going into
the next few weeks,” McIlroy said. “I kept
saying I didn’t need a win going into
Augusta to feel like I had a chance. I just
wanted to see signs of good golf. And
thankfully, I’ve been able to get both.”

Cavs coach taking leave to address health issues
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CLEVELAND — Cavaliers coach Tyronn
Lue is taking a leave of absence from the
team to address health issues that have
included chest pains and loss of sleep.
Lue said Monday in statement that tests
have offered no conclusion about what the
issue is and offered no timetable for his
return. The coach said he feels he needs to
step away “and focus on trying to establish
a stronger and healthier foundation” from
which to coach the rest of the season.
“While I have tried to work through it, the
last thing I want is for it to affect the team.

Lue spent the second half of Cleveland’s
victory in Chicago on Saturday in the lock-
er room because of an illness, the second
time this season he left a game because he
wasn’t feeling well. The former NBA guard
also sat one out against Chicago at home in
December.
“We know how difficult these circum-
stances are for Coach Lue and we support
him totally in this focused approach to
addressing his health issues,” general man-
ager Koby Altman said.
Drew, who coached the second half of
Saturday’s game, the finale of a six-game,
11-day road trip, spoke about Lue before
Monday’s contest.
“He’s shown the warrior that he is,” Drew
said. “If you would have left it up to him
he’d be sitting in this chair right now
instead of me. That’s just who he is. He
doesn’t want to miss games. He doesn’t
want to miss practices. He wants to be with
the team, but there comes a point where you
have to take a step back and assess things.
This thing has been lingering just a little
bit too long. T-Lue needs to step away and
allow himself to heal before joining the
team.”
Drew has previous head coaching experi-
ence with Atlanta and Milwaukee.
Charlotte coach Steve Clifford also left
his team to address his health this season.
He took six weeks off. Medical tests

For menopause sex discomfort, gel works as well as hormone By Lindsey Tanner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — In a study of women with
menopause-related sexual discomfort, gels
worked as well as prescription hormone
tablets at reducing symptoms.
The researchers say the results suggest
low-cost, over-the-counter moisturizers
might be the best option.
Most women in the study reported some
relief from their most bothersome symp-
toms — painful intercourse, vaginal dryness
or itching — regardless of treatment. Still,
not quite half the women experienced what
researchers considered a meaningful decline
in symptom severity. The problems are
linked with declining levels of the hormone
estrogen, which happens to all women when
they reach menopause.
What baffles researchers is why only
about half of women experience bothersome
symptoms. Without that answer, pinpoint-
ing the cause and finding the perfect solu-
tion is difficult, said Dr. Caroline Mitchell,
Researchers say the results of a new study suggest low-cost, over-the-counter moisturizers the study’s lead author and a researcher at
might be the best option for menopause-related sexual discomfort. Massachusetts General Hospital.
“Until we know why, our treatments are
really just pretty broad attempts,” Mitchell
said. “We’re not targeting the true biologi-
cal root cause.”
Researchers enrolled 300 women at a
Kaiser Permanente research institute in
Seattle and at the University of Minnesota.
Women were randomly assigned to one of
three treatments: prescription vaginal estro-
gen tablets and a gel with inactive ingredi-
ents; placebo tablets and Replens over-the
counter moisturizer; or placebo tablets and
the inert gel. Treatment lasted 12 weeks.
The results were published Monday in
JAMA Internal Medicine. The National
Institutes of Health paid for the study and the
researchers have no financial ties to the
products studied.
A journal editorial says there have been
few similar studies and most were too small
to reach conclusive results.
The latest results show that prescription
treatment that can cost $200 is no better
than over-the-counter moisturizers costing
less than $20. The researchers noted that
some women may prefer tablets to creams,
which can be messy, but the extra money
won’t buy extra relief.

Want to avoid the flu while flying? Try a window seat
By Mike Stobbe
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Worried about catch-
ing a cold or the flu on an airplane? Get
a window seat, and don’t leave it until
the flight is over.
That’s what some experts have been
saying for years, and it’s perhaps the
best advice coming out of a new
attempt to determine the risks of
catching germs on an airplane.
It turns out there’s been little
research on the risks of catching a cold
or flu during air travel. Some experts
believed that sitting in a window seat
would keep a passenger away from
infectious people who may be on the
aisle or moving around.
The new study, published Monday,
came to the same conclusion.
For somebody who doesn’t want to
get sick, “get in that window seat and
don’t move, ” the study’s lead
researcher, Vicki Stover Hertzberg of
Emory University in Atlanta.
The study was ambitious: Squads of
researchers jetted around the U.S. to
test cabin surfaces and air for viruses
and to observe how people came into
contact with each other.
But it also had shortcomings. In a
total of 10 flights, they observed only
one person coughing. And though the
experiment was done during a flu sea-
son five years ago, they didn’t find
even one of 18 cold and flu viruses
they tested for.
It’s possible that the researchers
were unlucky, in that they were on
planes that happened to not have sick
people on them, Hertzberg said.
The new study was initiated and fund-
ed by Boeing Co. The Chicago-based
jet manufacturer also recruited one of
the researchers, Georgia Tech’s Howard
Weiss, and had input in the writing of
the results. “But there was no particu-
lar pressure to change stuff or orient it
one way or the other,” Hertzberg said.
The article was released by the
Proceedings of the National Academy
of Sciences.
The researchers did some mathemati-
cal modeling and computer simula-
tions to determine how likely people
were to come close to a hypothetical
infectious passenger sitting in an aisle
seat on the 14th row of a single-aisle
airplane. They concluded that on aver-
age, only one person on a flight of
about 150 passengers would be infect-
ed.
Researchers who were not involved
said it would be difficult to use the rel-
atively small study to make any gener-
al conclusions about the risks of an
airline passenger getting a cold or flu,
let alone other diseases like measles or
tuberculosis.
But it’s a novel study about a subject
that hasn’t been well researched, they
said. Studies have looked at how respi-
ratory viruses spread in labs and in
homes, but “this is the first time I’ve
seen it done for airplanes,” said Seema
Lakdawala, a University of Pittsburgh
biologist who studies how flu spreads.
She and others not involved in the
research were intrigued by the study’s
findings about how people moved
about the cabin and came in contact
with each other.
It found:
• About 38 percent of passengers
never left their seat, 38 percent left
once, 13 percent left twice, and 11 per-
cent left more than twice.
• Not surprisingly, a lot of the peo-
ple getting up had an aisle seat. About
80 percent of people sitting on the
aisle moved at least once during their
flights, compared with 62 percent in
middle seats and 43 percent in window
seats.
• The 11 people sitting closest to a
person with a cold or flu are at the
highest risk. That included two people
sitting to their left, the two to their
right, and people in the row immedi-
ately in front of them and those in the
row behind.

who also writes a travel blog .
“It’s absolutely a fear I hear from
people all the time. They just believe
that they’re going to get sick from
going on an airplane, or they got sick
from being on an airplane,” he said.
Pizzarello said he’s an aisle person,
because he doesn’t want to feel trapped
in the window seat if he needs to get
up.
Will he now go for the window?
Maybe, he said, if a sick person sits
next to him.

local authorities haven’t drawn any conclu-
sions about who is at fault but urged people
to use crosswalks. He told reporters at a
news conference Monday the Uber vehicle
was traveling around 40 mph when it hit
Helzberg immediately as she stepped on to
the street.
Neither she nor the backup driver showed
signs of impairment, he said.
The public’s image of the vehicles will be
defined by stories like the crash in Tempe,
said Bryant Walker Smith, a University of
South Carolina law professor who studies
self-driving vehicles.
Although the Uber vehicle and its human
backup could be at fault, it may turn out that
there was nothing either could have done to
stop the crash, he said.
Either way, the fatality could hurt the
technology’s image and lead to a push for
more regulations at the state and federal lev-
els, Smith said.
Autonomous vehicles with laser, radar and
camera sensors and sophisticated computers
have been billed as the way to reduce the

move,” she said in an email. “We were try-
ing to allow natural attrition to happen, and
when a family who does not qualify moves,
replace them with a family off of the waiting
list.”
Some people have been on that waiting
list as long as five years, and most people
see at least a two-year wait, Heltsley said.
Housing has become the primary focus for
the nonprofit in a region where affordabili-
ty is a major issue.
“Affordable is a misnomer in this commu-
nity,” Heltsley said. “There’s been a huge

more than 40,000 traffic deaths a year in the
U.S. alone. Ninety-four percent of crashes
are caused by human error, the government
says.
Autonomous vehicles don’t drive drunk,
don’t get sleepy and aren’t easily distracted.
But they do have faults.
“We should be concerned about automated
driving,” Smith said. “We should be terrified
about human driving.”
In 2016, the latest year available, more
than 6,000 U.S. pedestrians were killed by
vehicles.
The federal government has voluntary
guidelines for companies that want to test
autonomous vehicles, leaving much of the
regulation up to states.
Many states, including Michigan and
Arizona, have taken a largely hands-off
approach, hoping to gain jobs from the new
technology, while California and others
have taken a harder line.
California is among states that require
manufacturers to report any incidents during
the testing phase. As of early March, the
state’s motor vehicle agency had received
59 such reports.
Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey used light regu-
lations to entice Uber to the state after the
company had a shaky rollout of test cars in
San Francisco. Arizona has no reporting
exodus of people off the Peninsula. People
can’t work three jobs and still make rent.”
In addition to the Bradford Street loca-
tion, St. Francis Center, which owns 87
affordable units in Redwood City, also pur-
chased a five-unit building at 20
Northumberland Ave. for $2.78 million in
January.
Those purchases put the nonprofit about
$12 million in debt. Heltsley said that was
the first time St. Francis took on debt since
it was founded in 1986. It made the unprece-
dented move because the properties other-
wise would have been developed and “the
housing need is so huge,” she said.
Heltsley approached the city over the
summer for grant money and Redwood

Hundreds of vehicles with automated driv-
ing systems have been on Arizona’s roads.
Ducey’s office expressed sympathy for
Herzberg’s family and said safety is the top
priority.
The crash in Arizona isn’t the first
involving an Uber autonomous test vehi-
cle. In March 2017, an Uber SUV flipped
onto its side, also in Tempe. No serious
injuries were reported, and the driver of the
other car was cited for a violation.
had previously expressed interest in invest-
ing in affordable housing in the city.
Aknin also said the city had identified the
Bradford Street property in 2015 as a poten-
tial acquisition rehabilitation project, but
the owner decided not to sell it until last
year.
“Providing affordable housing for people
of all socioeconomic backgrounds is a crit-
ical need for our region, and we’re pleased to
further support that effort in partnership
with Saint Francis Center” Steve Elliott,
managing director for development in land,
buildings and real estate at Stanford, said in
a press release. “From the initial concep-
tion of our Stanford Redwood City campus,
we made a commitment to being engaged in
the life of the Redwood City community,
and this investment is an important part of
that commitment.”
Stanford’s new 35-acre campus in
Redwood City will be home to 2, 700
employees and is scheduled to open in
2019.
The project will provide 2.4 acres of open
space and more than $15 million in public
THE DAILY JOURNAL
Herzberg’s death is the first involving an
autonomous test vehicle but not the first in
a car with some self-driving features. The
driver of a Tesla Model S was killed in 2016
when his car, operating on its Autopilot
system, crashed into a tractor-trailer in
Florida.
The NTSB said that driver inattention was
to blame but that design limitations with
the system played a major role in the crash.
The U.S. Transportation Department is
considering further voluntary guidelines
that it says would help foster innovation.
Proposals also are pending in Congress,
including one that would stop states from
regulating autonomous vehicles, Smith
said.
Peter Kurdock, director of regulatory
affairs for Advocates for Highway and Auto
Safety in Washington, said the group sent a
letter Monday to Transportation Secretary
Elaine Chao saying it is concerned about a
lack of action and oversight by the depart-
ment as autonomous vehicles are developed.
That letter was planned before the crash.
Kurdock said the deadly crash should serve
as a “startling reminder” to members of
Congress that they need to “think through
all the issues to put together the best bill
they can to hopefully prevent more of these
tragedies from occurring.”
benefits to Redwood City, in addition to the
St. Francis Center donation, according to a
press release.
“Stanford wants to be seen as people who
care about the community as they expand,
which is wonderful, but adds pressures,”
Heltsley said.
In addition to housing, St. Francis Center
provides food, clothing and laundry servic-
es, after-school programming and two com-
munity gardens. It also runs a small school
offering English-language instruction for
students and parents alike.
The nonprofit has received a variety of
private donations since it purchased the
Bradford Street units, bringing its debt
down to about $3.5 million, Heltsley said.
As for the Bradford Street complex,
another nonprofit, Rebuilding Together
Peninsula, will rehab the building. Heltsley
said she’s also looking for funding for
sprinklers in the newly acquired building,
which would cost around $260,000.
“I’m so excited about the new buildings,”
Heltsley said. “But they’re just a drop in the
bucket compared to our needs.”

SHIFT
Continued from page 1
for consideration Wednesday, March
21, at the Harbor District Board of
Commissioners meeting.
The potential transition arrives with
letters from Malibu attorney Kevin
Shenkman instructing officials to vol-
untarily approve the move away from
an at-large system, rewarding highest
voter getters in a general election, or
take the matter to court.
Proponents of the by-district system
claim it is effective in assuring com-
munities which historically may have
been marginalized are adequately repre-
sented on elected boards, by subdivid-
ing electoral maps into smaller wards.
While acknowledging the merits of
the effort’s intent, Harbor
Commission President Virginia Chang
Kiraly questioned whether the shift
makes sense for the district.
“To me, I would think the plaintiff
would think this is a low priority com-
pared to other districts,” she said, not-
ing the board’s diverse composition.
“That said, we do want to get in front
of it.”
Commissioner Sabrina Brennan
maintains a different perspective
though.
“District elections empower voters
to take action when the public trust is
violated,” she said in a prepared state-
ment referring to Commissioner Tom
Mattusch, who was recently investi-
gated for emailing Brennan inappro-
priate pictures.
Brennan contends a by-district elec-
tion shift would more easily allow vot-
ers to hold Mattusch accountable than
launching an extensive recall cam-
paign. A district investigation report
said claims of sexual harassment were
largely unfounded. Brennan is a

County District Attorney’s Office.
Because Edward Day, 61, will receive
261 days credit for time served, he was
expected by prosecutors to be released
Monday afternoon. In addition to
being sentenced to three years super-
vised probation, Day will be not be
allowed to possess any weapons and to
abstain from alcohol, according to
prosecutors.
In addition to 19 rifles, Day was
found alone at his home with three
handguns, 1, 180 magazines and
26,000 rounds of ammunition — all of
which were allegedly legal — when
police responded to his call at 2 p.m.

staunch advocate for the shifts, reach-
ing back to her initially suggesting
the district consider the issue in 2010.
For her part, Chang Kiraly said she
believes the source of Brennan’s advo-
cacy this time around is misguided.
“That should never be the purpose
for doing something like this,” she
said, regarding the clash between
Brennan and Mattusch. Chang Kiraly
said she expects the commission to
take up the issue, and other matters sur-
rounding the district’s purpose, at the
upcoming meeting.
The San Mateo County Harbor
District Board of Commissioners is
elected countywide but operates two
facilities, Pillar Point Harbor north of
Half Moon Bay and Oyster Point
Marina/Park in South San Francisco.
Recently the Sequoia Union High
and Redwood City Elementary school
districts and county Board of
Supervisors transitioned from at-large
systems after being threatened with a
similar lawsuit from a social justice
group claiming residents from certain
communities felt underrepresented in
the elections process. The San Mateo
County Community College District
adopted the by-district system last
year too, without being threatened by
a lawsuit. The Menlo Park City
Council is currently examining the
transition as well, making it the first
city in San Mateo County to consider
such a step.
It has been noted state law favors the
move to by-district elections in the
case of a legal challenge, as the
California Voting Rights Act states at-
large systems cannot be upheld should
they impair the ability of minorities
to elect candidates of their choice.
ple rounds into his closet because he
suspected an intruder was in his home.
When police officers arrived at his
home, they found Day in the driveway
with his hands in the air, saying the
FBI was after him and that the agency
had put a death mark on him since
1997, according to prosecutors.
Officers found rounds from a 9 mm
gun had gone through the closet and
exited the exterior wall of the house.
Though a party was going on at Day’s
neighbor’s home at the time, no one
was injured, according to prosecutors.
Day, a former University of
California employee, was not arrested
immediately in part because of a brief
hospitalization following the inci-
dent. Binders containing instructions
for the firearms along with writings
about the FBI’s attempts to take his
life were found in Day’s home. Further
investigation revealed Day had not

adopting the shift instead of battling
in court from a disadvantaged posi-
tion, which can result in lengthy and
costly legal processes. The transition
process also requires agencies to
develop new maps defining voting dis-
trict boundaries.
Half Moon Bay Mayor Deborah
Penrose said she too is prepared to dis-
cuss the matter with officials in the
coming weeks, in the wake of
Shenkman’s letter alleging Latino
voters were underrepresented on the
City Council.
For her part, Penrose said she favors
examining the matter more extensive-
ly and would support the shift if
research finds it is in the best interest
of equal representation.
“I like the idea of district elections.
If in fact we are doing any discrimina-
tion against the Latino community, I
want to stop that right away,” she said.
Penrose said officials are in the
process of completing a demographics
study, which will more fully illustrate
the city’s racial composition, espe-
cially as it relates to specific neigh-
borhoods.
She expects the study to become
available in the coming weeks, which
will help officials decide whether the
transition in Half Moon Bay is neces-
sary.
“I don’t think the council in general
has any objection to district elec-
tions,” she said.
In South San Francisco, Mayor Liza
Normandy also acknowledged offi-
cials’ willingness to examine the mat-
ter more deeply in a prepared state-
ment.
“The city remains deeply committed
to ensure all residents can meaningful-
ly participate in elections, and in the
governmental process, ” said
Normandy, in a letter suggesting coun-
cilmembers will address the issue more
fully next month.
taken his antipsychotic medications
for months and that he had smoked
marijuana an hour prior to the inci-
dent, according to prosecutors.
Having previously pleaded not
guilty to felony charges alleging he
discharged a firearm with negligence
and possessed an illegal firearm, pros-
ecutors added another felony charge to
his case in November because one of
the guns found in his home was ille-
gally modified to operate as an auto-
matic rifle.
“Mr. Day’s conduct was scary,” said
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe. “It
showed serious mental health issues
and we’re glad he will be under the
supervision of the Probation
Department to make sure there’s no fur-
ther acting out.”
Day’s defense attorney Ross Green
could not be immediately reached for
comment.

Putin’s dilemma: Scrap term limits or choose a successor
By Angela Charlton
and Vladimir Isachenkov
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MOSCOW — With his best election show-
ing ever, President Vladimir Putin is shifting
comfortably into his next six-year term, but
the gnawing question of what comes next
already looms on Russia’s horizon.
At his first appearance after Sunday’s vic-
tory, Putin was immediately asked about his
plans beyond 2024, reflecting Russia’s
nervousness about the succession issue that
will dominate the political landscape for the
near future.
Putin piled up nearly 77 percent of the
vote, burnishing his credentials as a leader
who enjoys overwhelming public support.
That will give him more room to ponder his
choice: groom a reliable successor, scrap
term limits or create a new position of power
so he can continue pulling the strings after
REUTERS his fourth term ends.
Russian President Vladimir Putin enters a hall to meet with candidates who participated in the All those options will remain on the table,
last presidential election. and Putin probably will wait a few more years
before making his choice.
Asked if he could initiate changes to the
constitution, he answered with a characteris-
tic reticence, saying he has no such plans
“yet.” He also laughed off a suggestion that
he could take a six-year break before moving
to reclaim the presidency in 2030.
“It’s a bit ridiculous, let’s do the math.
Shall I sit here until I turn 100? No!” he said.
Alexander Baunov, an analyst with the
Carnegie Moscow Center, said it would be
good for Putin “to leave the presidential post
with a record high result,” since this is theo-
retically his final presidential term.
“His final term in this chair ... will be a
period of transition of power. It’s much easi-
er to enter this transition of power when you
have this especially high result,” Baunov
said.
In the last few years, Putin has methodical-
ly reshuffled Cabinet members and provin-
cial governors. Some of them, such as Tula
Gov. Alexei Dyumin, 45, and Economics
Minister Maxim Oreshkin, 35, have been
named among potential successors.

Trump bans U.S. use of Venezuelan cryptocurrency

WASHINGTON — The Trump adminis-

Turkish leader vows wider offensive against Kurdish militia

By Sarah El Deeb and Suzan Fraser
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEIRUT — Turkey’s president vowed
Monday to keep up the pressure against a
U.S.-backed Syrian Kurdish militia after his
troops captured the Syrian town of Afrin,
threatening to expand the military offen-
sive into other Kurdish-held areas across
northern Syria and even into neighboring
Iraq.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan appeared
set on forcing Washington to reconsider its
partnership with the Syrian Kurdish fight-
ers, the main U.S. ally in the fight against
the Islamic State group.
Turkey first launched its military opera-
tion in Syria in 2016, and Erdogan has
repeatedly said it will not allow a “terror
corridor” along its border — a reference to
territories controlled by the Kurdish forces,
which Turkey views as terrorists because of
their links to Kurdish insurgents fighting
inside Turkey.
Emboldened by Sunday’s capture of Afrin,
Erdogan went even further on Monday,
asserting that Turkish troops and allied
Syrian forces would press eastward, target-
ing territory that includes Kobani, a town
that has become a symbol of the fight

against the Islamic State militants, as well
as Qamishli, where the Syrian government
controls an airport and a security zone.
Also in the cross hairs is Manbij, a town
jointly patrolled by U.S- and Kurdish forces
REUTERS
and where U.S. bases are housed, triggering
concerns over potential friction with U.S.
troops. Erdogan even threatened to target
Iraq’s Sinjar mountains, used by Kurdish
fighters to move between Iraq and Syria, and
which Turkey claims is a stronghold for the
outlawed Kurdish rebels fighting an insur-
gency in its southeast.
“We’ll continue this process until we
completely abolish this corridor,” Erdogan
said. “One night, we could suddenly enter
Sinjar.”
Nicholas Heras, a Middle East Security
fellow at the Washington-based Center for a
New American Security, said the capture of
Afrin was a “milestone” for Turkey in Syria
but was not the end of its campaign against
the Kurdish militia, known as the Syrian
Kurdish People’s Defense Units, or YPG.
“The final destination is a Turkish war on
the Kurds throughout northern and eastern
Syria that destroys the YPG and forces the
Americans to work by, with and through
Turkey” in the fight against IS and in Syria,
he said.
U.S. support of Syria’s Kurdish militia,
which Turkey views as a threat to its nation-
al security, has soured relations between the
two NATO allies. Ankara has accused the
U.S. of not fulfilling a promise to move
Syrian Kurdish fighters out of Manbij.
Seeking to ease tensions, U.S. and Turkish
officials held talks about Manbij earlier
this month following a visit by outgoing
U.S. State Secretary Rex Tillerson.

U.S., South Korea, Japan discuss denuclearization, summits

By Hyung-Jin Kim
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEOUL, South Korea — Top U.S., South
Korean and Japanese officials discussed
how to achieve the denuclearization of the
Korean Peninsula during weekend talks
ahead of upcoming inter-Korean and U.S.-
North Korean summits, Seoul said Monday.
South Korean officials who visited
Pyongyang recently say North Korean
leader Kim Jong Un agreed to hold talks
with South Korean President Moon Jae-in
in late April. Seoul says Kim also proposed
meeting with President Donald Trump.
Trump then agreed to meet Kim by the end
of May, but North Korea has yet to confirm
talks with the U.S.
The developments have raised hopes for a
potential breakthrough in the North Korean
nuclear crisis. But many experts say ten-
sions would flare again if the summits fail
to make any progress and leave the nuclear
issue with few diplomatic options.
U. S. National Security Adviser H. R.
McMaster met his South Korean and
Japanese counterparts, Chung Eui-yong and
Shotaro Yachi, in San Francisco for talks
over the weekend on denuclearization and
the summits, South Korea’s presidential
office said in a statement.
They agreed to maintain close trilateral
cooperation in the next several weeks and
shared a view that it’s important not to
repeat past mistakes, the statement said. It
didn’t elaborate but likely refers to criti-
cism that North Korea previously used dis-
armament negotiations as a way to ease out-
side pressure and win aid while all along
secretly pressing its weapons development.
Appearing on CBS’s “Face the Nation”
aired Sunday, South Korean Foreign
Minister Kang Kyung-wha said Kim had
“given his word” that he was committed to
denuclearization.
“He’s given his word. But the signifi-
cance of his word is — is quite — quite
weighty in the sense that this is the first
time that the words came directly from the
North Korean supreme leader himself, and
that has never been done before,” she said.
