WASHINGTON — President
Donald Trump on Sunday defended
his use of the phrase “Mission
Accomplished” to describe a U.S.-
led missile attack on Syria’s chem-

aides stressed continuing U. S.

new economic sanctions against
Russia for enabling the govern-

“The international community

Opposition to immigrant sanctuary spreading across state
By Amy Taxin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANTA ANA — More local governments in
California are resisting the state’s efforts to
resist the Trump administration’s immigra-
tion crackdown, and political experts see pol-
itics at play as Republicans try to fire up vot-
ers in a state where the GOP has grown weak.
Since the Jeff Sessions-led Department of
Justice sued California last month over its so-
called “sanctuary state” law limiting police
collaboration with immigration agents, at
least a dozen local governments have voted to
either join or support the lawsuit or for reso-
lutions opposing the state’s position. Those
include the Board of Supervisors in Orange
County, which has more than 3 million peo-
ple.
More action is coming this week, with lead-
ers in the Orange County city of Los Alamitos
scheduled to vote Monday on a proposal for a
local law to exempt the community of 12,000
from the state law. On Tuesday, the San Diego
County Board of Supervisors is meeting to
consider joining the Trump administration
lawsuit.
Immigration has been a hot topic across the
country since President Donald Trump cam-
paigned in 2016 on promises of tougher
Possible House leader Kevin McCarthy seen by Trump as ally
By Alan Fram
and Zeke Miller
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — As President Donald
Trump and top Republicans dined on filet
mignon at the White House this week, just
hours after House Speaker Paul Ryan
announced his stunning retirement, Trump
and Ryan’s top lieutenant found themselves
with a moment alone.
Do you really want to be the next speaker
of the House, Trump asked Kevin McCarthy,
one of his closest allies in Congress. The
Californian — the leading but undeclared
contender — told the president he wants the
job, according to two sources familiar with
the conversation.
McCarthy emerged from the Wednesday
evening chat confident he had Trump’s back-
ing to succeed Ryan, said one of the sources,
a GOP operative. Trump tried not to explicit-
ly endorse McCarthy, said the other source,
but it was clear the president would be “very
happy” for McCarthy to ascend to the post.
Both people spoke anonymously about the

Flames were reported at a residence in
Shelby Tract in unincorporated San Mateo
County around 11:30 p.m. Friday, fire offi-
cials said. The single-story home located at

“When the attorney general of the United States decides to take a

enforcement and a wall on the U.S.-Mexico
border. It has been a lightning rod issue in
California far longer.
The state passed a measure backed by
Republican Gov. Pete Wilson in the 1990s to
deny public health care and education to immi-
grants in the country illegally. It was later
overturned but left a lingering resentment
among the state’s growing Hispanic popula-
tion.
In recent years, California Republicans
have taken a less strident approach to immi-
gration in a state where one in four people are
foreign-born. But the Trump administration
lawsuit has energized many in a party that has
been rendered nearly irrelevant at the state
level, where Democrats control every key
office.
“When the attorney general of the United
States decides to take a firm position against
it, I think that gave a signal to a lot of us that,
‘Hey, California is on the wrong side of this
thing,”’ said Fred Whitaker, chairman of the
conversation because
they weren’t authorized to
relay details of a politi-
cally sensitive but possi-
bly critical exchange.
Trump’s embrace could be
crucial for McCarthy, the
No. 2 House Republican
leader, if he wants to nail
Kevin McCarthy down support from con-
servative lawmakers who
have been leery of his GOP establishment
ties and could sink his bid.
But even in a contest of Republican law-
makers, a Trump endorsement is a double-
edged sword. The president is unpopular in
many suburban and other swing districts, and
many Republicans don’t want their leader to
be viewed as beholden to the whims of the
unpredictable president. Others bristle at the
idea of presidential meddling in their contest.
“This is a matter to be decided by the leg-
islative branch of government, not the exec-
utive branch,” Rep. Leonard Lance, R-N.J.,
said of Trump supporting a candidate.
Still, the Trump factor will be hard to avoid.
With Ryan’s departure slated for January,

is a councilman in the city of Orange who pro-
posed a local resolution on the issue that
passed last week.
Raphael Sonenshein, executive director of
the Pat Brown Institute for Public Affairs at
California State University, Los Angeles, said
it’s not surprising Republicans are galvaniz-
ing over immigration.
“Politics is very much about emotions,
especially in midterms,” he said. “I think it
was only a matter of time when people went
back to the issue that actually hits the nerve in
the Republican base these days more than any
other.”
Under Democratic leadership, California
has enacted a series of laws in recent years
aimed at helping immigrants, including issu-
ing driver’s licenses regardless of legal status
and assisting with tuition at state universi-
ties. After Trump was elected, lawmakers
passed the measure to limit police collabora-
tion with federal immigration agents.
Republicans will lose another establish-
ment force who, at times, pushed back at
Trump.
It’s far from clear McCarthy intends to
play the same role.
He was one of Trump’s earliest supporters
and has never flinched as Trump endured crit-
icism for his comments on women, minori-
ties and others.
Since Trump’s election, the two have
advertised their close relationship and a
buddy-movie-style bond. Aides say the two
men speak frequently. Trump sometimes
calls out “my Kevin” at events.
It’s a partnership that’s benefited both
men.
In McCarthy, Trump has a Capitol Hill
confidant who fits the president’s tendency
to pluck allies from central casting —
McCarthy looks the part of the silver-haired
politician with his sharp suits and ready
smile. McCarthy boosts his conservative
credentials every time he is able to flash his
link to Trump.
Neither man is tethered to strict GOP
dogma, which creates space for the deal-mak-
ing both favor. Both like to rely on gut polit-

Immigrant and civil rights advocates
applauded the measure, known as SB54, as a
way to encourage immigrants to report crime
to police without fearing deportation. Critics
said it would make it too hard for federal
agents to find and deport ex-convicts who are
a danger to communities.
Most of the local governments siding with
the Trump administration are in Orange
County, an area once considered a GOP
stronghold but that voted for Hillary Clinton
in the 2016 presidential election. But it’s
starting to spread.
Escondido in neighboring San Diego
County has voted to support the federal law-
suit and last week the small city of Ripon in
the state’s Central Valley did the same.
In many cases, meetings on the issue have
drawn boisterous crowds. Anti-illegal immi-
gration activists have traveled from city to
city to attend, heightening tensions with
those who want their communities to support
immigrant-friendly policies or stay out of the
fray.

In one speed bump in their relationship,
The Washington Post reported that a leaked
2016 audiotape included a suggestion by
McCarthy that Trump was being paid by
Russian President Vladimir Putin, whom
Trump repeatedly praised during the presiden-
tial campaign. McCarthy aides said the
remark to other GOP leaders was a bad joke.
The leadership vacancy comes at an awk-
ward time for a GOP that could face massive
losses in this November’s congressional
elections, perhaps losing House control.
That would make the top Republican in the
House the minority leader, not speaker. Many
Republicans say it’s crucial that the party
unify behind an effort to pass additional bills
on taxes and other subjects and focus on re-
election campaigns, not a divisive internal
contest over the next leader.

Former first lady Barbara Bush in failing health
By Michael Graczyk
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON — Former first lady Barbara
Bush is in “failing health” and won’t seek
additional medical treatment, a Bush family
spokesman said Sunday.
“Following a recent series of hospitaliza-
tions, and after consulting her family and
doctors, Mrs. Bush, now age 92, has decid-
ed not to seek additional medical treatment
and will instead focus on comfort care,”
spokesman Jim McGrath said in a news
release.
McGrath did not elaborate as to the nature
of Bush’s health problems. She has been
treated for decades for Graves’ disease,
which is a thyroid condition, had heart sur-
gery in 2009 for a severe narrowing of her
main heart valve and was hospitalized a year
before that for surgery on a perforated ulcer.
“It will not surprise those who know her
that Barbara Bush has been a rock in the
face of her failing health, worrying not for
herself — thanks to her abiding faith — but
for others,” McGrath said. “She is surround-
ed by a family she adores, and appreciates
the many kind messages and especially the
prayers she is receiving.”
Trump unloads on Comey ahead of ex-FBI director’s new book

WASHINGTON — President Donald

Trump fired off a series of tweets ahead of

his firing as FBI director by Trump and the
investigations into Russian election med-

The interview aired Sunday night on ABC.

of only two first ladies who was also the
mother of a president. The other was
Abigail Adams, wife of John Adams, the

John Quincy Adams, the sixth president.
Bush married George H.W. Bush on Jan.

Spring storm moves east after blanketing central U.S. in snow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota residents
slogged through a mid-April storm Sunday
that dumped 2 feet of snow on parts of the
Upper Midwest, coated roads with ice and
battered areas farther south with powerful
winds and tornadoes before plowing toward
the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic U.S.
The storm system prompted Enbridge

been recently damaged by a ship anchor

told The Detroit News. Enbridge decided to
shut down the twin pipelines until weather
conditions improve in the Straits of

GOP attorneys generally support citizenship question on census

By David Lieb
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
A Trump administration plan to ask peo-
ple if they are U.S. citizens during the 2020
census has prompted a legal uproar from
Democratic state attorneys general, who
argue it could drive down participation and
lead to an inaccurate count.
Yet not a single Republican attorney gen-
eral has sued — not even from states with
large immigrant populations that stand to
lose if a census undercount of immigrants
affects the allotment of U.S. House seats
and federal funding for states.
In fact, many GOP attorneys general had
urged Trump’s census team to add a citizen-
ship question.
“We always are better off having a more
accurate count of citizens versus non-citi-
zens. I see no downside in this,” said Texas
Attorney General Ken Paxton, vice chair-
man of the Republican Attorneys General
Association.
The diverging views of top Republican
and Democratic state attorneys highlight
how even the most basic data collection
decisions can quickly split along partisan
lines amid the intense debate about immi-
gration policies.
Concerns among immigrants have risen
as President Donald Trump’s administration
has cracked down on so-called sanctuary
jurisdictions, increased arrests by federal
“If we don’t count all the people who live in our city
— all the residents we have — it could mean that our
community doesn’t get our fair share of moneys or aid.”
immigration officers, called the National
Guard to the border with Mexico and sought
to limit travel to the U.S. from certain pre-
dominantly Muslim countries.
U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross
announced last month that the 2020 census
distributed to every U.S. household will
include a citizenship question for the first
time since 1950. He said the question was
needed in part to help the government
enforce the Voting Rights Act, the 1965 law
that was intended to protect the political
representation of minority groups.
He said it will provide a more accurate
tally of voting-eligible residents than is
currently available from a smaller sampling
survey that includes the citizenship ques-
tion.
In a letter explaining his decision, Ross
said the U.S. Census Bureau estimated that
as many as 630,000 additional households
might not respond if a citizenship question
is included. Yet he acknowledged the admin-
istration did not know what the actual con-
sequences might be because it hasn’t tested
the change.
The nation’s only dress rehearsal for the
— Steve Adler, mayor of Austin, Texas,
2020 census, currently taking place in
Providence, Rhode Island, does not include
the citizenship question on the survey for-
warded to residents. Nevertheless, Ross
determined the benefits of including the
question outweigh any concerns.
California Attorney General Xavier
Becerra, a Democrat, filed a federal lawsuit
immediately after Ross announced the ques-
tion would be added. The nation’s most pop-
ulous state also has the highest number of
foreign-born residents, most of whom are
naturalized U.S. citizens or hold some other
legal status.
Last week, New York Attorney General
Eric Schneiderman led a coalition of 17
Democratic attorneys general, the District
of Columbia, six cities and the bipartisan
U.S. Conference of Mayors in filing a sec-
ond federal lawsuit. They contend the citi-
zenship question will deter participation
and illegally inhibit the Constitution’s
requirement for an “actual enumeration” of
residents.
A third lawsuit was filed this past week by
a group of seven Maryland and Arizona res-
idents who say adding the question could
lead to an undercount that could diminish
federal funding and congressional represen-
tation for their states. The Constitution
requires representation in the U.S. House to
be based on a count of the total residents in
each state, not just citizens.
The census, undertaken every 10 years,
also is used to determine how much money
to distribute to local communities through
various federal programs.
“If we don’t count all the people who live
in our city — all the residents we have — it
could mean that our community doesn’t get
our fair share of moneys or aid,” said Steve
Adler, mayor of Austin, Texas, and a
Democrat who is on the board of the U.S.
Conference of Mayors. “It could also mean
that we don’t get the representation in gov-
ernment at all levels. The impacts could be
huge.”
The George Washington University
Institute of Public Policy recently analyzed
how a hypothetical 1 percent undercount
beyond the figures reported in the 2010 cen-
sus would have affected 2015 federal funding
for Medicaid and several other social pro-
grams in each state, assuming the under-
count occurred only in that state.
The largest financial hits would have been
to the Republican-led states of Texas,
Florida and Ohio, the swing state of
Pennsylvania and the traditionally
Democratic state of Illinois, the report
found.

Online shopping could cost more after Supreme Court case GOP devotes $250M to midterm
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — Sales Tax: $0.

Online shoppers have gotten used to see-
ing that line on checkout screens before
they click “purchase.” But a case before the
Supreme Court could change that.
At issue is a rule stemming from two,
decades-old Supreme Court cases: If a busi-
ness is shipping to a state where it doesn’t
have an office, warehouse or other physical
presence, it doesn’t have to collect the
state’s sales tax.
That means large retailers such as Apple,
Macy’s, Target and Walmart, which have
brick-and-mortar stores nationwide, gener-
ally collect sales tax from customers who
buy from them online. But other online
sellers, from 1-800 Contacts to home goods
site Wayfair, can often sidestep charging the
tax.
More than 40 states are asking the
Supreme Court to reconsider that rule in a
case being argued Tuesday. They say they’re
losing out on “billions of dollars in tax rev-
enue each year, requiring cuts to critical

government programs” and that their losses
compound as online shopping grows. But
small businesses that sell online say the
complexity and expense of collecting taxes
nationwide could drive them out of busi-
ness.
Large retailers want all businesses to “be
playing by the same set of rules,” said
Deborah White, the president of the litiga-
tion arm of the Retail Industry Leaders
Association, which represents more than 70
of America’s largest retailers.
For years, the issue of whether out-of-
state sellers should collect sales tax had to
do mostly with one company:
Amazon.com. The online giant is said to
account for more than 40 percent of U.S.
online retail sales. But as Amazon has
grown, dotting the country with warehous-
es, it has had to charge sales more.
strategy: Keep a House majority
By Steve Peoples
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The Republican
National Committee has committed $250
million to a midterm election strategy that
has one goal above all else: Preserve the
party’s House majority for the rest of
President Donald Trump’s first term.
Facing the prospect of a blue wave this
fall, the White House’s political arm is
devoting unprecedented resources to build-
ing an army of paid staff and trained volun-
teers across more than two dozen states. The
RNC is taking the fight to Senate Democrats
in Republican-leaning states, but much of
the national GOP’s resources are focused on
protecting Republican-held House seats in
states including Florida, California and New
York.
“Our No. 1 priority is keeping the House.
We have to win the House,” RNC political
director Juston Johnson said. “That is the
approach we took to put the budget togeth-
er.”
RNC officials shared details of their
midterm spending plan with The Associated
Press just as several hundred volunteers and
staff held a day of action on Saturday in com-
petitive regions across the country. The
weekend show of force, which comes as
Democrats have shown a significant enthu-
siasm advantage in the age of President
Donald Trump, was designed to train 1,600
new volunteers in more than 200 events
nationwide.
There were more than three dozen events
in Florida alone, a state that features com-
petitive races for the Senate, the governor-
ship and a half dozen House races.
Seven months before Election Day, there
are already 300 state-based staff on the
RNC’s payroll. The committee expects to
have 900 total paid staff around the country
— excluding its Washington headquarters —
before November’s election, Johnson said.

Proposition 65 warnings too common
The San Diego Union-Tribune
A preliminary decision by Los
Angeles County Superior Court Judge
Elihu M. Berle — that coffee should
carry a warning that it is potentially
carcinogenic because it has trace
amounts of acrylamide — should be
maddening to those who care about
public health. That’s not just because
it’s a decision that runs counter to the
bulk of known scientific evidence or
could lead to fines of hundreds of mil-
lions of dollars against reputable
companies appropriately concerned
about customer health. It’s because it
seems that under Proposition 65, a
1986 ballot measure dubbed the Safe
Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act, the judge had no
choice.
The law applies to companies
with 10 or more employees that
may expose people to one of a list
of more than 850 potentially dan-
gerous chemicals. Voters were told
that it would exempt products that
have health risks that are not “sig-
nificant. ” But that vague language
hasn’t seemed worthy of invoking
by many judges overseeing
Proposition 65 lawsuits. Instead, if
a product can be shown to have even
a microscopic level of carcinogens,

This is particularly problematic
when it comes to acrylamide, a chem-
ical that is used in some industrial
processes. It can also be created when
foodstuffs are subjected to high heat.
But instead of heeding the National
Cancer Institute — which notes that
“a large number of epidemiologic
studies (both case-control and cohort
studies) in humans have found no
consistent evidence that dietary acry-
lamide exposure is associated with
the risk of any type of cancer” —
Judge Berle accepted evidence from
lawyer Raphael Metzger of the
Council for Education and Research
on Toxics that the presence of acry-
lamide in coffee was sufficient to
make it subject to sanction under
Proposition 65.
The list of foods that could be tar-
geted on the same grounds is stagger-
ing — starting with bread, potato
chips, fried chicken and grilled
meats. And no one should doubt that
Metzger, who has been filing lawsuits
of this sort since at least 2001, or
some other trial lawyer will pursue
additional litigation.

A strong independent stand
Editor,
Courage and fortitude have never
been the exclusive province of an
older generation. Over the past couple
of weeks, we have seen and heard from
our country’s younger generation who
have been demonstrating, speaking
out and writing from their hearts about
the need for responsible gun regula-
tion.
In another excellent column in the
Daily Journal’s “Student News”
Charlie Chapman writes of his experi-
ence in advocating for a citizen’s sec-
ond amendment right to bear arms for
self protection (“Respecting All
Perspectives”) in the April 7 and 8 edi-
tion of the Daily journal. Chapman’s
column is admirable not only for his
calm and reasoned arguments for an
individual to have and use a weapon in
self defense but also for taking a
strong independent stand on a very
contentious and emotional issue.
Well done, Charlie Chapman. May
you never lose your determination to

longer view Proposition 65 the same
as they did when it applied to only 30
items. The law requires signs warning
of so many health risks to be posted
in so many places — office buildings,
gas stations, restaurants, theme
parks, parking lots, hotels, etc. —
that they are tough to take seriously.
The ubiquity of these warnings also
makes it difficult for the public to
make a distinction between genuine
risks and trivial ones.
This is just what Proposition 65
critics foretold back in 1986. Their
opposing ballot argument said it
“requires ‘warnings’ on millions of
ordinary and safe items. We won’t
know what products are really danger-
ous anymore. The warnings we really
need will get lost in lots of warnings
we don’t need.”
There’s a sense that’s true. In 2016,
Gov. Jerry Brown won approval from
state lawyers for reforms to
Proposition 65 that made warning
signs offer more specifics, such as
noting the presence of arsenic at a
business. But a better reform is an
overhaul of Proposition 65 that
makes far smarter distinctions
between chemicals that are real-world
risks to people — and not just theo-
retical threats that provide trial
lawyers with opportunities for plun-

Senate Bill 827
Editor,
Thank you Daily Journal for your
front page story about state Sen. Scott
Wiener’s SB 827 (“Senator amends
housing-near-transit bill”) in the
April 11 issue of the Daily Journal.
Wiener is now proposing to amend
his bill by ”exempting qualified proj-
ects from local parking and density
limits.”
Huh? Really? It just keeps getting
so much easier to lobby against this
boondoggle of a bill.
And to add to insult, “Minimum
requirements some cities impose for
parking spaces could not be enforced
within a quarter mile of a rail or ferry
station.” 
So now he wants to remove our local
input as well as ordinances for the
benefit of who?

California schools and local
communities funding act
P
roposition 13 was good for me and others who were
lucky to have bought homes in California before
1978. Our property taxes have remained so low that
even as our children have grown up and moved away it does-
n’t make financial sense to move and find smaller but more
expensive quarters.
But Proposition 13 also had some negative impacts. It
meant less money for our schools and our cities. California
public schools were once the envy of the nation. Since
Proposition 13 they have fallen to 41st place in per student
spending. When my youngest child was in high school,
she was using the same sci-
ence book that my eldest
child used 10 years earlier.
Classes became large and
most of the excellent math
and science teachers left for
jobs in the more lucrative
private sector.
During my first term on
the elementary school board
we were able to set the tax
rate. We were very careful to
set it low and there were no
complaints from the com-
munity. Then came
Proposition 13 and local
public schools lost control
of their funding and much more to Sacramento. School
finance became very complex. It still is. Based on ever-
changing formulas. California schools have remained dras-
tically underfunded since the passage of Proposition 13.
Cities also had to increase fees as they saw a major source
of revenue decline. That meant a course in the city’s recre-
ation department which used to be free or entailed just a
modest fee now was costly. Libraries closed on weekends
until private funds were raised to keep them open. And the
list goes on.
Californians have gotten used to Proposition 13 and any
attempt to change it has met with fierce opposition. When
allow the elderly to stay in their homes and not be priced
out because of high property taxes. In truth, the biggest
beneficiaries of Proposition 13 were owners of commercial
property.
***
Now the League of Women Voters, the State PTA and a
growing list of other organizations and officials are in the
process of collecting signatures to put “California Schools
and Local Communities Funding Act” on the ballot. Tax
rates would remain uniform, but commercial and industrial
properties would be reassessed every three years at market
value, while residential properties would continue to be
reassessed only when they sold. There would be exemp-
tions for small business owners.
***
Proponents of the California Schools and Local
Communities Funding Act of 2018, say the change initially
would generate $11.4 billion, of which about $4.5 billion
would go to K-12 schools and community colleges. That
would increase state education funding by about 6 percent.
A major portion would go to cities and counties. Since
1978, tax revenue per capita for cities and counties have
fallen from $790 per person to $640, according to the
Legislative Analyst’s Office. Property tax has shifted away
from commercial/industrial to residential.
It’s tough to get something on the ballot unless you have
deep deep pockets and it takes even more money to get a
proposition passed. So far the efforts on behalf of this bal-
lot proposition seem very grass roots. Major hitters like
the California Teachers Association and the League of
California Cities have yet to endorse. Other big names and
rich donors have yet to pitch in. Still the group gathering
signatures seems very optimistic. They have until June to
gather 900,000 signatures. But they are out there every day
(haven’t seen much action in San Mateo County but a lot
going on in Santa Clara County, according to former Palo
Alto mayor Nancy Spencer, who is one of the major players
in the state wide campaign). Supporters believe putting this
before the voters inn 2020 when there is a presidential
election will be perfect timing. Since the measure does not
change the tax rate, it just needs a majority vote.
***
Proposition 13 was passed in June 1978, during Gov.
Jerry Brown’s first term in office. It rolled back property
assessments by 57 percent, limited tax rates to 1 percent of
assessed value and limited annual property tax increases to 2
percent. It has caused inequities among new and older home-
owners and among companies who continue to pay low
taxes on buildings they’ve owned for decades while com-
petitors with newer properties pay much more. It has created
loopholes for corporations not available to the average
homeowner. Despite these inequities, the law has wide sup-
port and has been difficult to modify. The question is
whether this time voters will be willing to make a change.

Facebook CEO didn’t have all the answers for Congress
By Barbara Ortutay
and Michael Liedtke
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg often
came across as one of the smartest people in the room as
he jousted with U.S. lawmakers demanding to know how
and why his company peers into the lives of its 2.2 bil-
lion users. But while some questions were elementary,
others left Zuckerberg unable to offer clear explanations
or specific answers.
A series of tough inquiries about how much personal
information Facebook vacuums up on and off its social
network seemed particularly vexing for Zuckerberg, who
couldn’t quantify it. He was vague about whether Facebook
was a monopoly and whether it would offer an ad-free
option, as well as about how the company could offer the
same level of privacy protection to users around the world.
Zuckerberg squirmed when pressed about a 2011 agree-
ment with the Federal Trade Commission that was
designed to force Facebook to tighten its privacy con-
trols. While maintaining that Facebook had adhered to
the terms of the settlement, Zuckerberg repeatedly con-
ceded that the company still made mistakes that led to
the personal details about 87 million Facebook users
being turned over to Cambridge Analytica, a data-mining
firm tied to President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign.
Prodded by the Cambridge scandal, the FTC is now
investigating whether Facebook violated their agree-
ment. If Facebook did, it could be fined $40, 000 per
infraction.
Lawmakers also got Zuckerberg to acknowledge that
government regulation of Facebook and other internet
companies is “inevitable, ” although he was vague about
Procrastinators rejoice: There’s
still time remaining to file taxes
By Sarah Skidmore Sell
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
If you woke up in a panic realizing that yesterday was
April 15, relax. You’ve got until Tuesday to file and pay your
taxes without facing a penalty.
April 15 falls on Sunday this year and Monday is
Emancipation Day, a holiday in Washington D.C. That
gives taxpayers nationwide until April 17 to get the job
done.
Procrastinators can take some solace in knowing that as
of Friday 40 million Americans hadn’t filed their taxes,
according to the IRS. Still, this is no time to dawdle; here
are some tips for you last-minute filers:
How to file
The IRS says that electronic filing is the best way to avoid
common mistakes. That’s because the software does the cal-
culations, flags common errors and prompts taxpayers to
provide missing information.
It’s quicker than dropping something in the mail. Plus,
electronic filers typically get their refund faster if due one.
You can use any electronic filing method you choose, but
it’s worth noting that the IRS says about 70 percent of tax-
payers are eligible to file their tax return at no charge by
using IRS Free File software. It can be accessed at the IRS
website at IRS.gov.
Take your time
Yes, it’s crunch time but try not to rush.
Lisa Greene-Lewis, CPA at TurboTax, said the most impor-
tant tip for entering information is to take your time. One of
the most common mistakes taxpayers make when rushing is
gathering incorrect Social Security numbers for their chil-
dren and spouses. Some even misspell their own names.
Instead, carefully gather and enter your Social Security

what kind of rules he believes are needed or what he
would support. He brushed off suggestions that Facebook
has built a monopoly but didn’t identify the company’s
competitors. Instead, he asserted without elaborating
that “the average American uses eight different apps to
communicate with their friends and stay in touch with
people. ” He didn’t mention whether those other apps
included Facebook’s own Messenger, as well as
Instagram and WhatsApp, which are also both owned by
Facebook.
Zuckerberg also didn’t rule out the possibility that
Facebook might eventually offer a version giving peo-
ple the option of paying a monthly fee in exchange for
not having their personal information mined for advertis-
number, income information and banking information, if
needed. It will take more time in the long-run to correct your
mistakes and will delay any refunds.
Seek Help
Telephone calls to the IRS may have long wait times.
Ditto if you try to go to somewhere in person, such as a tax
assistance center.
Instead, the IRS website should be your first stop for find-
ing answers to most basic tax questions. Popular tax soft-
ware providers have their own solutions too. TurboTax now
offers live on-demand video to communicate with a creden-
tialed CPA or enrolled agent who can answer your questions.
Ask for more time
If you really can’t get your tax return done, seek an exten-
sion. But getting an extension only gives you more time to
file your return — you still have to pay what you owe now.
The IRS allows you to request an automatic six-month
extension to file your return when you pay online.
If you owe money and cannot pay immediately, you can
ask the IRS for installment agreements when you file your
taxes. That will allow you to pay your tax debt over six
years. You can also ask about other repayment methods or
forgiveness by contacting the IRS.
Do better next time
There are a number of reasons to try to file your taxes
sooner rather than later.
If you are due a refund, the sooner you file, the sooner
you’ll get it. And filing earlier in the season gives you time
to more carefully prepare your returns and avoid errors.
But most importantly, filing early helps cut down on the
risk for identity theft by essentially beating the criminals
to the punch. Once your return is filed with the IRS, the
information is locked and cannot be used by anyone.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
ing. Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook’s chief operating idea,
floated the idea in an interview with NBC before
Zuckerberg appeared in Congress.
Although Zuckerberg didn’t elaborate, the concept
would be similar to what both video-streaming service
Hulu and music-streaming service Spotify already do by
offering a free version supported by ads or a commercial-
free version that requires a subscription.
Zuckerberg emphasized that Facebook will always offer
a free version of its network. But Facebook’s business
model, as Zuckerberg repeatedly explained in his testimo-
ny, depends upon ads shown to people based on the inter-
ests they share on the network. That strategy generated
$40 billion in ad revenue for Facebook last year, helping
to make it one of the world’s most valuable companies,
just 14 years after Zuckerberg started the business in his
Harvard dorm room.
While Facebook users can turn off some data collection
used for advertising, it can’t stop tracking entirely.
Zuckerberg also wasn’t clear on how the company would
offer all users privacy protection equal to that offered by
European Union regulations taking effect next month.
While he’s said he supports the General Data Protection
Regulation, Facebook probably isn’t following those
rules quite yet. “Don’t say we already do what GDPR
requires,” one passage from his cheat sheet reminded him.
Rep. Steve Scalise, a Republican from Louisiana who is
a former computer programmer, focused on how exten-
sively Facebook tracks on users who aren’t logged into
the network or don’t even have an account. Zuckerberg had
said that such data is collected for “security purposes,” for
example to flag unauthorized users trying to log in.
Scalise, though, asked if the data is also used as part of
Facebook’s business.

Serra rides big second-inning rally past Carlmont

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Nicolas Lopez is settling in to the
cleanup spot nicely for the Serra Padres.
The senior is heading to Stanford
University as a left-handed pitcher next
year. So, he is getting all the hacks out of
his system now. And, as a right-handed hit-
ter, he extended his current hitting steak to
six games Saturday in the Padres’ 6-1 non-
league win at Carlmont.
“I think hitting-wise I know this is going to
be my last year,” Lopez said. “So, I just want
to get my hitting in.”
Lopez went 3 for 4 with
an RBI, hitting in the
middle of a batting order
that is finally taking
shape for first-year man-
ager Chris Houle.
Over Lopez’s six-game
hitting streak, he is 12
Nicolas Lopez for 18 and has raised his
team-best batting aver-
age to .464. And the heart of the order is
swinging it ahead of him.
No. 3 hitter Cameron Barstad was 2 for 4
with a double, an RBI and a run scored to up his
season average to .442; the left-handed hit-
ting catcher also ranks second among West
Catholic Athletic League batters with a .744
slugging percentage. And senior shortstop
Jack Damelio, since moving into the No. 2
spot in the lineup, also owns a six-game hit-
ting streak and is batting .378 on the year.
“We feel like we’ve got a really good qual-
ity middle of the order now,” Houle said.
“Consistency is what we’ve been looking
for all year, and sometimes it takes awhile.
So, we figure we’re in a pretty good spot
right now.”
While Serra (12-5 overall) enjoyed its
third straight win Saturday, Carlmont
dropped its third straight. The Scots have
been playing an A-class non-league sched-
ule this season, including three WCAL
opponents. They were supposed to play a
fourth WCAL squad in Bellarmine last
Thursday, but the Bells were forced to cancel
after winning the Boras Baseball Classic
Northern California championship, adding
a game to their non-league schedule that was
already at the 28-game limit.

in Oakland as A’s top M’s

Manaea responded by retiring his
final seven batters.
“Last year, it was kind of like a

would go bad, immediately terrible
thoughts would pop in my head and
just keep getting me further and fur-

couldn’t get out of it,” Manaea said.
“Where I am now, solo home runs

The homer was one of just two
hits allowed by Manaea (2-2). It
was the third time in four starts
this season he has lasted at least
seven innings, and he’s allowed
two runs or fewer in each outing.
“I don’t know where we’d be
without him at this point,” Oakland
manager Bob Melvin said. “He
saves the bullpen. He’s pitched
great and won games for us. He’s
had a heck of an April, for sure.”
Blake Treinen finished with a
four-out save as the Athletics
ended Seattle’s four-game winning
streak and avoided a series sweep.

Serra soph shines in debut Burlingame tabs familiar face
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
as new boys’ hoops head coach Dowd’s promo-
Serra was cruising handily to a
6-1 win Saturday at Carlmont
when — wham! — a lightning
bolt struck from the Padres
bullpen.
Sophomore left-hander Drew
Dowd looked like he’d been there
before through two sterling
innings of relief. The fact is,
though, Saturday marked the
southpaw’s varsity debut.
Dowd was electric, scattering a
walk and an infield single amid
five strikeouts through two
innings of work. His fastball was
fueled with sharp downward bite.
He was throwing darts with a big-
breaking curveball. And he
breezed through the middle of the
Carlmont batting order — facing
batters 9 through 7 — to the tune
of 33 pitches.
“It was good,” Dowd said. “I
was excited, a little nervous, but
that was out of the door after the
first pitch. My pitches were
working. I was just attacking
guys and had confidence. It
worked out.”
Serra hasn’t carried a sopho-
more on its varsity roster since
2014, when third baseman
Angelo Bortolin and pitcher
John Besse both made the varsity
cut. Dowd said he was surprised
when he learned he was being
bumped up to the varsity squad
following last Tuesday’s junior-
varsity outing, an 11-strikeout
performance against the St.
Francis JV team to move the JV
Padres into first place.

Dowd said. “I was thinking about

Bob Sargent — a well-travelled

the head coach of Serra’s JV team.

Drew Dowd nothing left to
prove in the
JV ranks, according to Sargent.
“The idea for him is just get
your feet wet and get that varsity
debut, ” Serra manager Chris
Houle said. “And we were fortu-
nate to be in a position to do it
with him [Saturday].”
Dowd enjoyed several big per-
formances with the JV squad this
season. At the top of the high-
light reel was when he fired six
innings to combine on an eight-
inning no-hitter against Sacred
Heart Cathedral. Dowd struck out
16 through six innings before
reaching the pitch limit — 90
pitches is the JV limit, as
opposed to 110 at varsity — with
Cava Milo working the last two
innings to earn the win and pre-
serve the no-no.
Even before his dazzling stuff
became apparent within the first
varsity batter he faced — a swing-
ing strikeout of Carlmont pinch-
hitter Ryan Busser — Dowd
already looked the part, impress-
ing with stellar mechanics. He
possesses a big, sweeping
motion that Sargent likened to
former big league All-Star with
the Seattle Mariners and
California Angels, Mark
Langston. What’s unique about
Dowd’s mechanics is how he
accelerates through his throwing
motion, making an already
impressive fastball get on hitters
that much quicker.
“It sort of developed over
time, ” Dowd said of his fluid
mechanics. “I’ve always had kind
of a quick arm action. But I’ve
been more explosive over the
last year from freshman to JV,
over the summer I started to
develop more lower-half move-
ment to get more velocity.”

John Philipopoulos conducted
interviews with six finalists for

“It was great because they
weren’t trying to do too much with
it,” Houle said. “… Just seeing a
good pitch, putting a good swing,
making good contact. It’s what
we’ve been trying to preach, is
making good contact in good situ-

Plane settled in from there, and
only got touched for one more run.
That came in the fifth when his

“In that second inning, they just

“I tried to minimize. I tried the

defense behind him and he just lets

Serra debuted a sophomore left-

throwing two impressive innings.

Hillsdale rides unlikely pitching tandem past SHP
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Looking to stay on the bubble in the
Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division
standings, Hillsdale produced a big two-
game-series split with league frontrunner
Sacred Heart Prep.
The Knights (3-3 PAL Bay, 11-6 overall)
dropped the series opener to the Gators
last Wednesday 10-1, but bounced back
with arguably their gutsiest win of the
year last Friday, outlasting SHP through
10 innings 1-0.
“It was a really good bounce back,”
Hillsdale manager James Madison said. “We
didn’t know who we were after the last game
where we just, bottom line, didn’t show up to
play. And we know that’s a pretty good team
in [SHP]. So we were dead set on not trying to
overdo it, not trying to rev up too much, just
get back to what we do and battle back.”
With the win, Hillsdale remains on the
fourth-place bubble in the league standings as
the Bay Division schedule nears the halfway
point of the season. The top four finishers in
the Bay earn automatic bids to the Central
Coast Section playoffs.
Hillsdale had to rely on a relatively new
arm to the starting rotation in the series
finale with SHP (4-1, 13-4) in junior Jason
Alba, and the right-hander turned in the finest

Menlo-Atherton (5-7 overall) traveled to
Arizona over the weekend and ran into a
national powerhouse in undefeated Chaparral-
Arizona (14-0). The Bears bounced back later
“He kept them off balance, and he was calm
and poised.”
Skidmore, the ace of the staff, generally
starts Hillsdale’s Friday games. Recent shoul-
der tightness, however, kept him from taking
the mound the previous week in a key
matchup with Carlmont.
Madison said Skidmore was slated to work
in relief in the SHP game, but he didn’t want
to extend him through an entire game, hence
skipping the senior in the starting rotation.
“We didn’t want to take a chance,” Madison
said. “So even going into this series, Alba
had pitched well, so we figured let’s baby-step
this. … But it was good bringing him in in
the back end.”
Alba locked up with SHP ace left-hander
Angelo Tonas for quite the pitching duel.
Tonas worked into the seventh inning and
was trying to pitch out of a jam when he was
forced to depart due to reaching the maximum
pitch count.
Hillsdale had the bases loaded with one out
when Tonas finished his day with a strikeout.
Then when senior Henry Marshall entered in
relief, the right-hander threw a ball in the dirt
that ricocheted off the backstop and back to
the mound, allowing Marshall to flip to
catcher John McGrory to catch the runner at
third trying to score for the final out of the
frame and force extra-innings.
In the 10th inning, Hillsdale finally broke
in the day with a strong defensive showing to
take down Pinnacle-Arizona (8-3). Audrey
Koren scored a hat trick in the opener and
added a goal in the Pinnacle win. Annie Payne
also totaled four goals through the two
games, including a hat trick in the nightcap.

through to walk off with the game’s only run.
The Knights again loaded the bases and,
with senior Matthew Leong at the plate, SHP
reliever Reece Lindquist ran the count full.
Leong was sitting fastball and, when he got
one, drove a long shot to center field that
nearly got caught, but with only one out it
would have gotten the job done anyway. It did
fall though for an RBI single, plating junior
Antonio Paolinelli with the winning run.
Hillsdale is now in an advantageous posi-
tion in terms of its remaining league sched-
ule. The Knights have already played the top
two teams in the division, and have four
series left, including with Capuchino and
Menlo School — both teams, along with
Hillsdale, are currently in a tangle for third-
and fourth-place in the Bay Division.
Hillsdale is currently tied for fourth place
with Menlo, with Capuchino in third.
Carlmont and SHP, tied for first place, have a
two-game series this week.
“I think we know as a program we’re right
there,” Madison said “We know we cannot
only compete with those guys, but we can
win.”
In non-league action Saturday, Hillsdale
fell at home to El Camino in nine innings 4-

Pacers held off Cleveland’s second-

LeBron James and the Cavaliers’
their first loss in the opening
round in eight years.
Indiana was in control from the
outset, opening a 21-point lead in
the first quarter and leading by 23
in the third. The Cavs stormed back
and got within seven, but Oladipo
hit a big 3-pointer and Bojan
Bogdanovic helped put Cleveland
away with a 3 to make it 88-71.
The Pacers completely outplayed
the three-time defending confer-
ence champions, whose turbulent
regular season has carried over into
the playoffs.
Game 2 is Wednesday night.
James scored 24 with 12 assists
and 10 rebounds for his 20th career
triple-double. But James got little
help as Cleveland’s four other
starters — Kevin Love, Jeff Green,
Rodney Hood and George Hill —
combined for 25 points.
This is all new to James, who had
won 21 consecutive first-round
games and lost a postseason for the
first time in his 13th playoffs. The
33-year-old is trying to get to his
eighth straight Finals, and already
the path is tougher than imagined.
Cleveland had won 14 straight
first-round games, last losing on

James’ first stint with the Cavs.
Indiana was swept by Cleveland in

In a close race, ’Rampage’ takes No. 1 spot
By Lindsey Bahr
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — After a wobbly
start, Dwayne Johnson muscled his
way to a No. 1 opening for “Rampage”
— but just barely. Close on its heels
was the word-of-mouth sensation “A
Quiet Place” in its second week in the-
aters, and not too far behind that was
the Blumhouse horror “Truth or Dare”
in a competitive weekend at the box
office.
Warner Bros. said Sunday that
“Rampage” earned an estimated $34.5
million in its first weekend in North
American theaters, and dominated
internationally too with $114.1 mil-
lion from 61 territories.
Based on the classic arcade game,
“Rampage” carried a sizable budget of
at least $115 million. Although
“Rampage” pulled in mixed reviews

To meet its affordable housing goal,
Redwood City must construct 502

For “above moderate” units,
Redwood City has permitted 1,645
units to date, nearly 500 units more
than its 1,152-unit goal by 2023.
In 2017, the city issued building per-
mits for just 36 total units, all at the
low-income level, according to the
report. That number is well below the
total number of units permitted in
Redwood City each year since 2014,
but is also the city’s most productive
year since then in terms of affordable
housing.
Assistant City Manager Aaron Aknin
said the unusually low number of build-

of timing as the approval process can
last up to a year, and not an indication

“Get Out” and “Split,” “Truth or Dare.”
After its stunning debut, John
Krasinski’s modestly-budgeted “A

As for 2018, staff expects “high

‘I just have to do it.’ Teachers struggle with second jobs
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OKLAHOMA CITY — Hundreds of thou-
sands of American schoolteachers work sec-
ond jobs to boost their income. They speak
of missing time with family, struggles to
complete lesson plans and nagging doubts
over whether it’s worth the sacrifices to stay
in their profession.
Nationwide, 18 percent of teachers work
jobs outside school, supplementing the
average full-time teacher salary of $55,100
by an average of $5,100, according to the
latest survey from the U.S. Education
Department, from the 2015-2016 school
year. That is up slightly from 16 percent in
2011-2012.
Teaching is hardly the only profession
where people pick up second jobs to pay
their bills, and many have the flexibility to
do other work in the summer when school is
out. But their numbers help explain the out-
rage behind the teacher revolts in states
including West Virginia, Oklahoma and
Kentucky.
The Associated Press asked moonlighting
teachers in four states to describe how they
balance the extra hours with their day jobs
and family responsibilities:

Oklahoma, Melinda Dale puts on a janitor’s
uniform and begins cleaning the very same
school building.
“I usually do it right after school,” Dale
said, “because working with first grade all
day, I tend to lose my energy pretty fast.”
Dale, who has taught for six years, earns
$32,000 a year as a teacher. She spends
about 15 hours a week on the janitorial
work, which at $10 an hour allows her to
earn nearly a quarter of what she makes
teaching.
She is trying to save money for college
for the oldest of her three children, a high
school senior. Her youngest, a first-grader,
has to wait for Dale to finish cleaning before
she can go home, but sometimes other fami-
ly members help with the cleaning so she
can leave sooner and spend time with her
kids.
Her second job forces her to do lesson
plans on the weekend, usually on Sundays
after church and lunch with her family.
One day, her seventh-grade daughter was
waiting in the car for her mother and said:
“I’m sorry it’s come to this, mom.”
“It was a very heartwarming but sad
moment to hear her say those words,” Dale
said. “I’ll do whatever it takes to be in the
career that I’m in, but also provide for
them.”

Haley said the three U.S. goals for accom-

could harm U.S. national interests, defeat-
ing the Islamic State group and having a

Haley said the joint military strike “put a
heavy blow into their chemical weapons
program, setting them back years” and reit-
erated that if Assad uses poison gas again,
“the United States is locked and loaded.”
French President Emmanuel Macron said
Sunday that France wants to launch a diplo-
matic initiative over Syria that would
include Western powers, Russia and Turkey.
Speaking on French television BFM and
online site Mediapart, Macron stressed that
the French diplomacy is able to talk with
Iran, Russia and Turkey on one side and to
the United States on the other side.
He said, “Ten days ago, President Trump
wanted to withdraw from Syria. We con-
vinced him to remain.”
The nighttime assault on Syria was care-
fully limited to minimize civilian casualties
and avoid direct conflict with Russia, but
confusion arose over the extent to which
Washington warned Moscow in advance.
The Pentagon said it gave no explicit warn-
ing. The U.S. ambassador in Moscow, John
Huntsman, said in a video, “Before we took
action, the United States communicated
with” Russia to “reduce the danger of any
Russian or civilian casualties.”

port Assad in his long war against anti-gov-
ernment rebels.
Russia and Iran called the use of force by
the United States and its French and British
allies a “military crime” and “act of aggres-
sion.” The U.N. Security Council rejected a
Russian resolution calling for condemna-
tion of the “aggression” by the three
Western allies.
Assad denies he has used chemical
weapons, and the Trump administration has
yet to present hard evidence of what it says
precipitated the allied missiles attack: a
chlorine gas attack on civilians in Douma
on April 7. The U.S. says it suspects that
sarin gas also was used.
“Good souls will not be humiliated, ”
Assad tweeted while hundreds of Syrians
gathered in Damascus, the capital, where
they flashed victory signs and waved flags
in scenes of defiance after the early morning
barrage.
The strikes “successfully hit every tar-
get, ” said Dana W. White, the chief
Pentagon spokeswoman. The military said
there were three targets: the Barzah chemi-
cal weapons research and development site
in the Damascus area, a chemical weapons
storage facility near Homs and a chemical
weapons “bunker” a few miles from the sec-
ond target.

In age of MeToo, can there be forgiveness, second chances?
By Michelle Smith
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
If a man abuses his co-workers and apologizes, should he
be forgiven? What about a man who sexually assaults a
stranger asleep in bed? Is redemption possible?
Last week, Tom Ashbrook, who was fired as host of the
popular National Public Radio program “On Point,” asked in
a column in The Boston Globe if there was a way back after
being fired in February for creating an “abusive work envi-
ronment.” Investigators for his employer, Boston radio sta-
tion WBUR, cleared him of sexual misconduct allegations.
“My behavior was offensive and overbearing to some,”
Ashbrook wrote, going on to ask: “Is there room for
redemption and rebirth, in our time of Google trails and
hashtag headlines?”
There should be, say many experts who study issues sur-
rounding sexual abuse. Forgiveness must be possible if
society wants to reduce instances of sexual misconduct, but
experts say, it will take work and willingness to change
from both the perpetrators and society at large.
Many of the apologies men have made after being accused
of misconduct during the #MeToo movement have fallen
short of what’s needed for redemption: Think of Harvey
Weinstein, whose apology after a New York Times report in
October alleging decades of sexual misconduct included a
promise to fight the National Rifle Association and an
excuse blaming the culture in the 1960s and 1970s.
Or, celebrity chef Mario Batali, who ended his apology
for sexually harassing multiple women with a recipe for

Century and produced a mountain of manuscripts, correspon-
dence and memorabilia.
That sprawling collection, much of which Bradbury’s fam-
ily donated after his death in 2012 at age 91, is now entering
a long-running preservation project at its home on the cam-
pus of Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis.
The Center for Ray Bradbury Studies , which is devoted to
the study of the science fiction-fantasy author’s works, won
a $50,000 grant this month from the National Endowment
for the Humanities to begin planning the giant archive.

“We don’t really have a map for what
public rehabilitation should look like,”
said Jennifer A. Thompson, an assistant
professor of applied Jewish ethics and
civic engagement at California State
University, Northridge.
Thompson said Ashbrook and Batali
both get credit for trying. But they fall
short by continuing to focus on them-
Louis C.K. selves, rather than the people they
wronged, she said. In Jewish tradition,
when you wrong a person, it’s up to that person to forgive
you.
“You have to go to the person you hurt and ask, ‘What can
I do to make this right?”’ Thompson said, adding that ask-
ing for forgiveness makes you vulnerable, an unfamiliar
place for men with power.
At times, when famous men, such as the comedian Louis
C.K. , have made public apologies that are deemed insuffi-
cient, it can cause them to retreat from view, said Alissa
Ackerman-Acklin, an assistant professor of criminal jus-
tice at California State University, Fullerton. But she said
that’s the opposite of what we should want.
“If we want a society free of sexual misconduct and we
want people to really understand the impact of their
actions, then publicly shaming them is not the way to do it.
It makes us feel good, but it doesn’t do anything to reduce
sexual misconduct,” Ackerman-Acklin said.
Instead, the men should be making connections — possi-
DA to air more evidence in eccentric heir murder case
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — It’s been more than three years since
the arrest of eccentric New York real estate heir Robert
Durst in the execution-style shooting of his best friend
years earlier in Los Angeles.
Prosecutors could move closer to bringing him to trial
if they can show probable cause at a hearing that begins
Monday that Durst killed Susan Berman in order to silence
her from revealing what she knew about the death of the
multimillionaire’s first wife.
Durst, 75, has pleaded not guilty, and with all that has
emerged about him publicly from an HBO documentary
series and from a string of unusual court hearings that
have already taken place, it seems likely a Los Angeles
Superior Court judge will order the case to proceed to trial.

bly with their victims, if that’s what the
victims want, or with others in a “safe,
non-judgmental space, people who have
caused this kind of harm can really think
about what they’ve done and get really
introspective and come to a place where
they can offer an authentic apology,”
Ackerman-Acklin said.
Lesley Wexler, a professor at the
Mario Batali University of Illinois College of Law,
whose work has focused on sexual
harassment, armed conflict and apologies, said the idea of
“restorative justice” offers a model for possible redemp-
tion.
“Part of what should be happening here is personal.
Making amends to the victim, restoring the victim. And a
separate part is acknowledging that the nature of this harm
isn’t just the individual, you are a community. That sug-
gests you also need to be public about what specifically was
wrong and what you can do better,” Wexler said.
She pointed to the example of Mel Gibson, who went on
an anti-Semitic rant as he was being arrested on suspicion
of drunken driving in 2006, and also pleaded no contest in
2011 to one count of misdemeanor spousal battery of his
former girlfriend. Among the steps he took to redeem him-
self was offering public apologies and meeting with mem-
bers of the Jewish community, she said.
“Within less than a decade, he’s directing ‘Hacksaw
Ridge,’ he’s staring in ‘Daddy’s Home 2.’ All of that is hap-
pening in the absence of the #MeToo movement,” she said.
Prosecutors have started recording
testimony over the past year of older
witnesses who might not be available if
there is a trial. Some of the testimony
includes damning evidence for Durst,
who already has beaten a murder rap in
an unrelated 2003 Texas killing.
One of his closest buddies, Nathan
“Nick” Chavin, who was also close
Robert Durst with Berman, testified Durst essentially
admitted killing her, saying: “It was her
or me, I had no choice.”
Chavin and other friends of Berman said she told them
Durst had killed his first wife, Kathleen, who disappeared
in 1982 in suburban New York and has never been found.

The registrant commenced to transact

/s/Dennis Millstein/
This statement was filed with the Asses-

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
AdMINISTER ESTATE OF
Betty M. Whitlock
Case Number: 18-PRO-00286
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of Betty M. Whitlock. A Peti-
tion for Probate has been filed by John F.
Paul in the Superior Court of California,
County of San Mateo. The Petition for
Probate requests that John F. Paul be
appointed as personal representative to
administer the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: MAY 1, 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
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.

Syria’s allies say airstrikes undercut political resolution
By Bassem Mrou
and Sarah El Deeb
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DAMASCUS, Syria— The leaders of Russia, Iran and the
Hezbollah group in Lebanon said Sunday that Western
airstrikes on their ally, Syria, have complicated prospects for
a political settlement to the country’s seven-year conflict.
A day after the U.S., Britain and France bombarded sites
they said were linked to a chemical weapons program, Syrian
President Bashar Assad appeared briefly on state TV, seeming-
ly unfazed by the military action — and even reportedly in
high spirits.
He told a group of visiting Russian lawmakers that the
strikes were accompanied by a campaign of “lies and misin-
formation” against Syria and Russia in the U.N. Security
Council.
Moscow and Damascus are waging the same “battles”
against terrorism and “to protect international law based on
respect of the sovereignty of countries and the wills of peo-
ple,” Assad said in comments carried by state media, an appar-
ent jab at the three Western allies.
Russian lawmaker Dmitry Sablin, who met with Assad, said
he appeared upbeat and believed the airstrikes would unify the
WORLD
country.
Russia and Iran have called the action a
“military crime” and “act of aggression.”
The U.N. Security Council rejected a
Russian resolution calling for condemna-
tion of the “aggression” by the U.S.,
France and Britain.
Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke
by phone with Iranian President Hassan
Bashar Assad Rouhani, and they agreed the Western
airstrikes were an “illegal action ...
adversely impacting prospects for political settlement in
Syria,” a Kremlin statement said.
Putin said the actions violated the U.N. Charter and if they
continue, “it will inevitably entail chaos in international
relations,” the statement said.
The official IRNA news agency quoted Rouhani as saying
The U.S. and “some Western countries do not want Syria to
reach permanent stability.”
Iran and Russia should not allow the “fire of a new tension”
to flare up in the region, Rouhani said, adding that the
airstrikes were an “invasion” aimed at “emboldening defeated
terrorists,” IRNA reported.
Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Lebanon’s Hezbollah group
THE DAILY JOURNAL
that has hundreds of fighters backing Assad’s forces, said the
airstrikes failed to “terrorize or break the spirits” of Syria and
its allies.
Instead, he said, the attack bolstered the confidence of the
Syrian army and its allies, as well as probably sinking the
already-faltering U.N.-backed peace process on Syria in
Geneva.
“If the goal was to pressure Syria to expedite a political
solution, I think what happened will complicate the political
solution and will strain international relations and the
Geneva track, if not torpedo Geneva altogether,” Nasrallah
told an election rally in Lebanon.
Nasrallah said there is no chemical program in Syria, and he
likened the attacks in Syria to the West’s concern over Iran’s
nuclear program.
U.S. Marine Lt. Gen. Kenneth F. McKenzie, director of the
Joint Staff at the Pentagon, said the allied airstrikes “took out
the heart” of Assad’s chemical weapons arsenal. When
pressed, however, he acknowledged that some unspecified
portion of Assad’s chemical arms infrastructure was not tar-
geted.
Assad denies he has used chemical weapons, and the U.S.
has yet to present evidence of what it says led to the allied
action.
In Peru, Pence
defends Syrian
attack to allies
By Ken Thomas
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LIMA, Peru — Thousands of miles from home, Vice
President Mike Pence was thrust into a new, more immediate,
role on the world stage Saturday: explaining President
Donald Trump’s military strike in Syria to a summit of Latin
America leaders.
Hours after Trump hailed the missile strike targeting the
Syria’s suspected chemical weapons — tweeting, “Mission
Accomplished!” — Pence defended the
president while building support among
U.S. allies for the joint strikes with
Britain and France.
“The objective of the mission the com-
mander in chief gave our military forces
and our allies was completely accom-
plished — with swift professionalism,”
Pence told reporters, noting there were
Mike Pence “no reported civilian casualties.”
Later, speaking in a cavernous hall of
world leaders at the Summit of the Americas, Pence expressed
gratitude to Canada, Colombia and other nations that had
voiced support for the strike and urged “every nation in this
hemisphere of freedom” to support the military action.
Pence’s to-do list included smoothing over differences with
Mexico, America’s southern neighbor, amid unease over
Trump’s decision to send troops to the border and harsh rhet-
oric on immigration. And with tensions simmering over
trade, Pence expressed hope alongside Canadian Prime
Minister Justin Trudeau that the three nations could soon
agree to a renegotiated North American Free Trade Agreement.
And while Trump grapples with the ongoing Russia inves-
tigation led by special counsel Robert Mueller, Pence sought
to draw a bright line against Vladimir Putin’s alliance with
Syria following the suspected chemical attack. “Our message
to Russia is that you’re on the wrong side of history,” Pence
said.
Trump often improvises his remarks and is known for bold
declarations in person and on his Twitter account. Pence,
meanwhile, tends to be more scripted in his exchanges and
frequently glanced down at highlighted index cards as he
spoke to Latin American leaders here.
Shortly before Trump’s address to the nation Friday night,
Pence was whisked away from the summit in his motorcade so
he could return to his hotel to inform congressional leaders of
the pending missile strikes. Pence watched Trump’s speech
from his hotel suite, joined by aides.
Unlike past appearances at international summits, the vice
president had to dive into the packed agenda on short notice.
He learned only Tuesday that he would be attending in
Trump’s place so the president could manage the U.S.
response to Syria.
In meeting after meeting, Pence offered a low-key, extend-
ed hand.
Seeking rapprochement with Mexico, which has been at
odds with Trump over the border wall and immigration, Pence
said the topic of funding for Trump’s long-promised border
wall did not come up in his meeting with Mexican President
Enrique Pena Nieto.
Pence said they simply had a difference of opinion and
some issues were “set aside, for a later date.” Left unsaid was
whether Pence’s overtures might eventually lead to a joint
Trump-Pena Nieto meeting, their first.
