San Mateo-Foster City examines election overhaul
Officials favor move to by-district system; board also approves teacher raises
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The San Mateo-Foster City Elementary
School District will be among the next
local school system to adopt by-district
elections, under a decision by officials to
join the movement away from the at-large
system.
The district Board of Trustees agreed dur-
ing a Thursday, Jan. 10, meeting that
groundwork for the election shift should
be laid. At the same meeting, they
approved a raise for teachers as well.
Board Vice President Noelia Corzo said
officials favor moving to a system under
which trustees are elected by voters in the
district where they live as part of an effort
to assure all school community members
are fairly represented.
Trustees hope the transition will help
“assure that local government is more
accessible to the community, especially
for minorities,” said Corzo.
Under the district’s current system, the
top vote getters in a general election are
assigned an available seat on the board.
Should the new system be established, the
district would be subdivided into regions
and candidates could only run for the seat
representing their community.
Advocates for by-district elections
claim the system is better suited to ensure
the interests of all communities are repre-
sented on an elected board, as historically
marginalized residents are granted more
power to select their preferred candidate.
As agencies along the Peninsula have

adopted similar changes in recent years,
many have been compelled by the threat of
legal action. The South San Francisco City
Council approved moving to district elec-
tions after a social justice group threat-
ened a lawsuit, and the Half Moon Bay
City Council, Redwood City Elementary
and Sequoia Union High school boards and
San Mateo County Board of Supervisors
approved the adoption under those circum-
stances as well. The South San Francisco
Unified School District also adopted the
transition, but voluntarily.
Corzo said San Mateo-Foster City offi-
cials did not receive a letter threatening a
lawsuit, but wanted to get ahead of the
issue and to prevent such an occurrence.
“We are starting the conversation
because we know that is happening in the
Bay Area,” she said. “But we believe we are
currently the lowest priority for that type
of situation because of how diverse we are
right now.”
When considering threatening a legal
challenge to a district or city, social jus-
tice groups often examine the elected
board’s racial and social composition.
Those that lack diversity are often the first
to be targeted with a warning letter.
Looking ahead, Corzo said officials are
wary through the transition process to
assure the best interest of all students is a
top priority for all board members, regard-
less of which district they represent.
“If we moved to trustee elections, we
want to make sure that we don’t create divi-
sions,” she said.
Corzo was uncertain the exact timeframe
for the transition to be adopted, but
expected it could be established as soon as
the 2020 election and 2022 at the latest.
She expected officials to lay the ground-
work for the shift over the coming months
while the board addresses other issues,
with an expectation the election change
will return for further discussion later this
year.
“We are going to push it off a couple
months so we can sort through some other
business,” she said.
In other business at the meeting, offi-
cials also approved a 3 percent retroactive
increase to the salary schedule for teachers
and a 2. 5 percent increase effective in
July.
For her part, board President Shara
Watkins said she was happy the board was
able to offer the raises, while noting the
salary hike was possible through voter
approval of the most recent parcel tax pro-
posal.
“We wouldn’t have been able to do it if
Measure V hadn’t passed,” said Watkins,
who was absent from the meeting. “So we
are ecstatic to be able to do that.”

Trump declares he’ll ‘never back down’ in shutdown fight
By Catherine Lucey and Jill Colvin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — With the government
mired in shutdown week four, President
Donald Trump rejected a short-term legisla-
tive fix and dug in for more combat
Monday, declaring he would “never ever
back down.”
Trump rejected a suggestion to reopen the
government for several weeks while negoti-
ations would continue with Democrats over
his demands for $5.7 billion for a long,
impregnable wall along the U.S.-Mexico
border. The president also edged further
away from the idea of trying to declare a
national emergency to circumvent
Congress.
“I’m not looking to call a national emer-
gency,” Trump said. “This is so simple we
shouldn’t have to.”
No cracks were apparent in the president’s
deadlock with lawmakers after a weekend
with no negotiations at all. His rejection of
the short-term option proposed by
Republican Sen. Lindsay Graham removed
one path forward, and little else was in
sight. Congressional Republicans were
watching Trump for a signal for how to
move next, and Democrats have not budged

bid for the speakership.
It was uncertain whether any Democrats
would respond to the invitation.
Separately, around a dozen senators from
both parties met Monday to discuss ways
out of the shutdown gridlock. Participants
included Graham and Sens. Susan Collins,
R-Maine, Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Tim
Kaine, D-Va.
Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, said Senate
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.,
was aware of the group’s effort but added, “I
wouldn’t go so far as to say he’s blessed it.”
The odds of the group producing an actual
solution without Trump’s approval seemed
slim. In the past, centrists of both parties
banding together have seldom resolved
major partisan disputes.
Lawmakers returned to Capitol Hill late
Monday “discouraged,” as GOP Sen. Mike
Rounds of South Dakota put it, as all sig-
nals pointed to a protracted fight.
Alabama Sen. Richard Shelby, the GOP
chairman of the Appropriations
Committee, compared the shutdown saga to
the play “Waiting for Godot.”
“And Godot never shows up,” Shelby
said. “We could be protracted here for a long
time. There’s nobody on the horse coming
to rescue us ... that I know about.”
tions that date back 15 years to his time as
a federal magistrate judge, when he alleged-
ly asked a court clerk if she had a breast
enlargement and whether he could touch
them.
An attorney for Johnson said he denies
the allegations, passed a lie detector test
about the most serious accusations and
plans to present evidence from other col-
leagues and court employees in his defense.
“Justice Johnson remains committed to
the process even in the face of irresponsible
and unsubstantiated emails sent by a judi-
cial officer to thousands of court personnel
containing erroneous information,” attor-
ney Paul Meyer said in a statement.

President denies ever working
for Russia, blasts investigators
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump
on Monday denied he ever worked for Russia
against U. S. interests, addressing an
extraordinary question that has haunted his
presidency and shows no sign of going
away.
Speaking from the South Lawn, Trump
issued a flat denial: “I never worked for
Russia.” He blasted former FBI and Justice
Department officials and repeated his claim
that the investigation into his ties to
Moscow is a hoax.
Trump raised eyebrows over the weekend
when he didn’t directly answer the Russia
question in an interview with Fox News host
Jeanine Pirro, a personal friend.

He was asked about a New York Times

been working on behalf of Russia against
two years in office, the president is still
being questioned about whether he was
compromised by Russian intelligence
agencies and he is still struggling to answer
clearly.
White House aides expressed regret over
the weekend that the president did not more
clearly and forcefully deny being a Russian
agent on Saturday when asked by the usually
friendly Fox News host, according to three
White House aides and Republicans close to
the White House. The three spoke on condi-
tion of anonymity because they were not
authorized to discuss private conversations.
When Pirro asked if he had ever worked for
Russia, Trump said it was “the most insult-
ing thing I’ve ever been asked.”
“I think it’s the most insulting article I’ve
ever had written, and if you read the article
you’ll see that they found absolutely noth-
ing,” he said.

Trump seeks to sell shutdown U.S. interests.

Trump said the question was “insulting,”
but did not directly deny it.
Trump went on to assert that no president
has taken a harder stance against Russia
than he has.

By Jonathan Lemire
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW ORLEANS — President Donald Trump
urged farmers on Monday to stick with him
even as many grapple with the impact of his
trade war with China and the partial govern-
ment shutdown.
“No one understands more than our famers
that the tough decisions we make today will
reap dividends down the road,” Trump said,
adding that their “greatest harvest” is yet to
come.
“We’re doing trade deals that are going to
get you so much business, you’re not going
to believe it,” he said.
Trump, in an address to the 100th annual
convention of the American Farm Bureau
Federation, said the American heartland
largely supported him in 2016 and pledged
that his policies would ultimately help the
agriculture industry despite short-term pain.
The president devoted much of his hourlong
address to defending his decision to hold out
for billions of dollars to build his long-prom-
ised wall at the southern border, which has

special counsel’s Russia investigation
shows possible signs of wrapping up. After

resulted in an impasse with Congress and the
longest government shutdown in history.
Trump said the wall was needed to cut down
on illegal immigration, even though border
crossings have fallen in recent years, and he
said that it would lead to immigration reform
that would help farmers get the workers they
need for their fields.
“You need people to help you with the
farms,” Trump said. “It’s going to be easier
for them to get in.”
Despite Trump’s assurances, many farmers
are feeling the pinch from his policies.
The Agriculture Department is scrambling
to blunt the impact of the now 24-day gov-
ernment shutdown on America’s farmers.
Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue last
week extended the deadline for growers hurt
by Trump’s trade war with China to apply for
federal aid meant to offset their losses. But
some farmers will still have to wait until after
the government reopens to see their checks.
In addition, the Farm Service Agency,
which distributes loans to farmers, has been
shuttered since the first week of the shut-
down.

will be blocked from committee assignments for the next
two years after lamenting that white supremacy and white
nationalism have become offensive terms.
King, in his ninth term representing Iowa, will not be
given committee assignments in the Congress that began
this month, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said
Monday night. King served on the Agriculture, Small
Business and Judiciary committees in the last Congress,
and he chaired Judiciary’s subcommittee on the
Constitution and Civil Justice.
McCarthy, R-Calif., called King’s remarks “beneath the
dignity of the Party of Lincoln and the United States of
America.”
King’s comments “call into question whether he will treat
all Americans equally, without regard for race and ethnici-
ty,” McCarthy said, adding: “House Republicans are clear:
We are all in this together, as fellow citizens equal before
God and the law.”
The action by the GOP steering committee came after
King and McCarthy met Monday to discuss the remarks on
white supremacy, the latest in a years-long pattern of racial-
ly insensitive remarks by King.
King called McCarthy’s decision to remove him from
committees “a political decision that ignores the truth.”

Evolving foreign policy challenges Pompeo
By Matthew Lee
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — If Mike
Pompeo was surprised, he didn’t show
it. But the secretary of state had woken
up in the capital of Saudi Arabia on
Monday to find that President Donald
Trump had tweeted a threat to NATO
ally Turkey warning of economic harm
should the Turks attack U.S.-backed
rebel forces in Syria.
On the second-to-last stop of a
Mideast tour dominated by questions
and concerns from Arab leaders about
Trump’s abrupt order to withdraw
American troops from Syria, Pompeo
had to refer reporters’ questions about
the tweet to the White House. He said
he assumed Trump was referring to the
possibility of economic sanctions on
Turkey if the Kurds were hit. But he
couldn’t speak definitively to the mat-
ter.

UK leader in frantic final
push to win Brexit deal backing
LONDON — British Prime Minister Theresa May made a
frantic last push Monday to swing lawmakers’ support
behind her seemingly doomed Brexit
deal, warning that its defeat risked scut-
tling the U. K. ’s departure from the
European Union and “betraying the vote
of the British people.”
May claimed to have gotten reassur-
ances with “legal force” on key issues
from the EU, and said history books
would judge Parliament harshly if law-
Theresa May makers did not back Britain’s orderly
exit from the EU when they vote on the
agreement Tuesday.
“Over these next 24 hours, give this deal a second look,”
May implored skeptical lawmakers in the House of
Commons.
“With just 74 days to go until (Brexit day) the 29th of
March, the consequences of voting against this deal tomor-
row are becoming ever clearer,” she said.
May said rejecting her deal would lead either to a reversal
of Brexit — overturning voters’ decision in a 2016 referen-
dum — or to Britain leaving the bloc without a deal, a
course that would damage the country’s economy, security
and unity.
Poles unite in grief over
assassination of Gdansk mayor
WARSAW, Poland — The popular liberal mayor of
Poland’s port city of Gdansk died Monday after being
stabbed at a charity event by an ex-convict with a history of
violent crime. The killing plunged the politically divided
country into shock and grief and brought Poles into the
streets for solemn vigils in a rare show of national unity.
Pawel Adamowicz, 53, died from the wounds inflicted by a
27-year-old man who stormed onstage Sunday evening
while the mayor was addressing an audience during the
“Lights to Heaven,” the finale of a nationwide fundraiser for
sick children.

ighteen months ago,
Assemblywoman Shirley

Weber spoke at Thurmond’s swearing-

Editor,
Hello pharmacy patron. I’d like to
make a small request. Please be kind
to your pharmacy staff. There’s some-
thing you might not know about us;
we really enjoy helping you. We went
into this profession because we felt
compelled to help people live better,
healthier lives. Pharmacists have
gone through extensive training and
hold doctorate degrees. Technicians
have also undergone specific training
and testing. These are both positions
that we specifically chose and trained
for. None of us fell into this job with-
out caring about the patients we see.

pharmacy isn’t a professional medical

Every Californian should hope
Thurmond is a change agent. It’s
absurd that teachers can get tenure in
the spring of their second year on the
job; that the state doesn’t use smart
metrics to track student progress and
how much teachers help their students
learn, and that many districts don’t
try aggressively to coach up strug-
gling young teachers. Instead, those
resistant to reform continue to insist
that school quality is a function of
school spending despite all the evi-
dence from Massachusetts, New
Jersey, Florida and Texas that this just
isn’t true — that multilevel accounta-
bility is what’s essential.

est man on earth, owner of the

arises: has he become too powerful?

ask is that you treat us with the

us. We are medical professionals as

OPINION
Thurmond’s inaugural speech, alas,
had as a main focus the need to
increase funding. But in his August
interview with The San Diego Union-
Tribune Editorial Board, he said he
should not be defined by his teachers
union support. He added then that he
supported tenure changes and better
tracking of student performance, and
that he opposed Torlakson’s 2015
decision that additional funds going
to schools specifically to help
English-language learners, foster
children and children from poor fami-
lies could be used for teacher raises.
We’ll be watching to see if he keeps
pushing for what he promised against
a schools reformer in a tough cam-
paign. We’ll be tracking his perform-
ance.
century, Standard Oil, founded by
John D Rockefeller, rapidly became
the world’s first and largest multina-
tional corporation. In 1911, however,
the US Supreme Court, in a landmark
case, ruled it was an illegal monopoly
that was using aggressive pricing to
put competitors out of business. The
court forced its break-up into 34
smaller companies.
There is no reason yet to believe
Amazon is the Standard Oil of today.
In retail, for instance, it is smaller
than Walmart and in the media world
it is still dwarfed by other players.
But it is growing fast and you can be
sure that regulators are keeping an eye
on just how fast.
The roads we paid for
Editor,
You’ve heard this before but it
keeps repeating. California taxed
each and every one of us and with that
money built roads and highways.
Then it took it upon themselves to
tell us that if we didn’t have two peo-
ple in the car, we can’t use part of the
road that we paid for with our taxes.
Then to make it worse they now want
us to pay to ride on those same roads.
How can we be charged to build a road
then be charged to drive on it? How
long will it be before cities decide we
must pay to ride on city roads?
Something is terribly wrong.     many considered lost: uniting in the wake of the bombing

Where others see ruin
S
obering results of a recent major bipartisan poll
reveal that half of Americans have all but complete-
ly lost confidence in our democracy. A majority, 55
percent, consider our republic in a dark and vulnerable state.
On a national scale, ample evidence supports this pes-
simistic outlook. Unprecedented political division. A
national debt of more than $22 trillion. Frequent mass
shootings in traditional safe havens like schools and syna-
gogues. Uncertainty in global markets. Emerging nuclear
threats. A climatic rejection of moral values that laid the
foundation of our nation. It is no wonder a panel of scien-
tists in 2018 declared the world only “minutes” away from a
tragic and apocalyptic end — a prediction evidenced by the
Doomsday Clock.
This outlook is not confined to
our federal government. A lack of
confidence in the social stability
of American families and com-
munities is sweeping through
our nation like a wildfire. Nearly
half of all marriages end in
divorce, leaving single-parent
households responsible for more
than 30 percent of all American
children. Drug addiction and sex-
ual perversion have all but domi-
nated our culture. Depression and
other mental illnesses have
surged among Americans. The Jonathan Madison
suicide rate reached its height in 2018 at 25 percent, trig-
gering a national crisis.
These challenges not only test our nation’s ability to
rebound from poor perception and intransigence among
lawmakers. Much deeper, these challenges test the very
soul and spirit of our country — the resilience of its peo-
ple. History tells us that challenges to a nation’s character
is responsible for more fallen governments than any other.
Internal challenges, not external, cause a nation’s demise
more often than not. One-hundred-and-fifty years ago, our
nation was brought to its knees in the American Civil War
— the single bloodiest war on record fought on the premise
of slavery. Less than 100 years later, our culture stood on
the brink of moral chaos as our nation grappled with the
issue of a woman’s right to vote. Decades later, the nation
was forced to confront race-relations in the wake of the
civil rights movements of the 1950s and 1960s.
We live in perilous times that give each of us good reason
to doubt our nation’s ability to address challenges that test
every facet of our character. Some in our nation have given
up hope all together. Instead, they have embraced the belief
that our nation is beyond all repair, hope or restoration.
That our nation lies in ruin.
When I am tempted to adopt this pessimistic view
espoused by many Americans, I consider the ruin that con-
fronted Jerusalem about 2,000 years ago. In 445 B.C., the
walls of Jerusalem were destroyed by armed forces. One
breath away from collapse, the city’s gates were burned to
rubble and ash. Innocent individuals in Judah stood in
grave danger. All but one man decided to embrace the reality
that the city was beyond repair. Nehemiah, a Jewish cup
bearer, wept and mourned for days on end when he heard
news of the destruction of the place he once called home.
Praying and fasting for the city and its inhabitants,
Nehemiah decided to restore what everyone around him con-
sidered a lost cause. Spearheading a movement among sev-
eral cities to rebuild the walls, Nehemiah made real a vision
for which no one else could come to terms. Where others
saw ruin, Nehemiah saw hope.
I consider our nation’s response to challenges that
seemed all but impossible to face. To rebuild that which
at Pearl Harbor and the deaths of 2,403 innocent people;
the long fight with Germany to dismantle Hitler’s extermi-
nation of 6 million innocent Jewish people; dismantling
Jim Crow laws and race-based segregation; surviving the
tragic deaths of President John F. Kennedy and his brother
Robert in the 1960s; standing tall in the face of terror fol-
lowing the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11; and rebuilding a
World Trade Center that once lied in ruin.
In American families, I remember that belief can restore
what others call ruin or beyond repair. Together, let us

divorce. Let us support the single-parent working overtime
to make ends meet. Together, regardless of party affiliation,
strong ideals or creeds, let us believe in our nation’s capaci-

exemplify that belief by casting our ballots, calling our
legislators, engaging and supporting our local communi-

Sign of weakness in China weighs on stocks

By Marley Jay
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Stocks took
small losses Monday after China
reported a drop in exports in
December, but the market didn’t
come close to matching the
plunges it took in the last few
months.
Indexes in Europe and Asia head-
ed slightly lower after the latest
report added more evidence that
China’s economy is weakening.
Major U.S. indexes fell about 1
percent at the start of trading, but
soon recovered much of what
they’d lost. Technology compa-
nies slumped.
Drugmakers fell after Democrats
in the House of Representatives
announced an investigation into
prescription drug pricing. A
strong quarterly report from
Citigroup helped bank stocks
trade higher.
China’s exports slipped in
December, and exports to the U.S.
fell 3.5 percent as rising tariffs
and broader weakness affected the
world’s second-largest economy.
Concerns about the Chinese econ-
omy and the overall global econo-
my were a major contributor to the
market’s plunge in late 2018.
Mark Esposito, president of
Esposito Securities, said the calm
reaction to the news from China
suggests stocks won’t fall further
than they did in December.
“That’s a very positive sign
that, at least in the short term, we
may have found a bottom,” he
said. “People lose faith and hope
when (the market) drops 20 per-
cent in a very short period like it
did.”
The S&P 500 index dropped
from late September until the day
before Christmas, partly because
investors were worried that the
global economy was slowing dra-
matically and could fall into a
recession. Since Dec. 26, stocks
have regained about half of what
they lost in the downturn.

Company known for deep cost-cutting offers to buy Gannett

By Mae Anderson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — A hedge fund-
backed bid to buy Gannett Co., the
publisher of USA Today and sever-
al other major dailies, is renewing
fears of consolidation and job
losses — as well as a decline in
the quantity and quality of news
coverage — in the already battered
newspaper industry.
MNG Enterprises, better known
as Digital First Media, offered
$1. 36 billion on Monday for
Gannett, saying in a letter that it
can run the company more prof-
itably via tight cost controls and
consolidation of operations such
as printing and administration.
Gannett said its board will
review the proposal.
Investors gave the deal a vote of
confidence, immediately pushing
Gannett stock up more than 20
percent to almost $12, the amount
Digital First is offering.
The proposed deal is the latest
indication newspapers aren’t done
suffering from the punishing
effects of the internet. Over the
past decade, U. S. papers have
struggled as giants like Google
and Facebook siphoned off readers
and advertising dollars.
Many publications have already
made dramatic cuts in their news-
room staffs and scaled back cover-
age. Even then, acquirers still
often swoop in and make even
deeper cuts. In July , for example,
Tribune Publishing, then known
as Tronc, cut half of the New York
Daily News’ newsroom staff,
including the editor in chief.
Digital First has a reputation for
especially ruthless cost-cutting.
The takeover bid is “very bad
news for anybody who works for a
Gannett paper or reads a Gannett
paper,” said Dan Kennedy, a jour-
nalism professor at Northeastern
University in Boston. “Gannett is
a publicly traded company, of
course, and it runs its properties
pretty lean, but nevertheless they
have a reputation for offering a
certain degree of quality.”
“Digital First is really the most
avaricious of the newspaper
chains these days,” and is “unique
in the degree to which it is willing
to cut” costs and jobs, Kennedy
said.
Digital First is one of the
biggest U.S. newspaper chains,
with about 200 papers and other
publications, including The
Denver Post and the Boston
Herald. Its biggest shareholder is
Alden Global Capital, a New York
hedge fund that invests in dis-
tressed companies.
Gannett publishes more than
100 papers around the country,
including USA Today; the Detroit
Free Press; The Record in New
Jersey; The Tennessean in
Nashville; the Milwaukee Journal
Sentinel; the El Paso Times; The
Des Moines Register; and the
Arizona Republic.
Overall, estimated U. S. daily
newspaper circulation, print and
digital combined, fell 11 percent
to 31 million in 2017, according
to the Pew Research Center. As
recently as 2000, weekday sub-
scriptions totaled 55.8 million.
USA Today’s daily circulation
was 3.1 million in 2017, down
from 3.6 million in 2016, a count
that includes both print and digital
readers.

Trade war delaying Business brief

Chinese automaker’s US plans
DETROIT — The U.S.-China trade war has
delayed but not derailed Chinese automaker
GAC Motor’s plans to enter the American
market, company officials said Monday.
Company President Yu Jun, speaking at
Detroit’s North American International
Auto Show, said the dispute is a factor in
moving its U.S. product launch from the
end of this year — as it announced at last
year’s show — to June 2020. Still, analysts
think they might have a longer road to the
market.

Sweet taste of victory
Mateo seniors Rivas
and Kolokihakaufisi
go gold in Saratoga
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Both of them have taken their lumps to
get to the top.
Now, San Mateo seniors Romelo Rivas
and Sam Kolokihakaufisi are the ones
dulling out the lumps. And for the first time
in their respective careers, Saturday at the
56th Annual Jim Root Memorial Classic
Varsity Tournament, the two boys’ wrestlers
reached the top of the podium in doing so —
and in the process have garnered Daily
Journal Athletes of the Week honors.
Entering the tournament, neither had ever
taken home a varsity gold medal. That
includes two previous appearances at the Root
tourney, where the Bearcats had never finished
better than 15th place, though they still per-
formed well in 2017 and ’18, according to San
Mateo head coach Jason Cervantes.
“Not as well as [Saturday] though, ”
Cervantes said.
As the Bearcats earned fifth place in the
team competition in field of 35 varsity squads
at the daylong event in Saratoga, Rivas and
Kolokihakaufisi each swept their brackets,
earning four wins apiece, all via pin. Rivas
took gold in the 145-pound bracket.
Kolokihakaufisi did the same in the 285s.
“After I won it, I was just going to be hum-
ble because I can’t let this be the only first
place,” Kolokihakaufisi said. “I want to get
more. So, that’s what I kept thinking.”

Giants re-sign lefty Holland
By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Left-hander Derek
Holland is staying with the Giants, agree-
ing to a one-year contract that guarantees
$7 million.
With all the injuries to the rotation last
season, keeping the versatile Holland pro-
vides a big boost to the pitching staff.
“For me, it was just an easy decision to
come back after everything these guys
helped me basically as I looked at it as res-
urrecting my career,” Holland said.
Holland has a $6.5 million salary this
season as part of the deal announced
Monday, and the Giants have a $7 million
option for 2020 with a $500,000 buyout.
The option price can escalate based on
starts this year, by $500,000 each for 24
and 28, and by $1 million for 32.

lete — he also plays baseball — Rivas is
strictly a one-sport athlete. With his focus on
wrestling, the 147-pound senior doesn’t even
consider himself much of a sportsman.
Taking up jujitsu when he was 6 years old,
however, he transitioned into wrestling in
middle school. He arrived at San Mateo some-
what in his own world, as the friends with
whom he was closest growing up all went to
Hillsdale. And during his freshman year, since
San Mateo did not have a frosh-soph
wrestling program at the time, the then 113-
pound Rivas was thrown right into the varsity
arena.
“Because of my jujitsu background I was
able to pick up on things pretty quickly,”
Rivas said.
But Rivas still draws on the inspiration
found in proving himself to others — and to
himself.
“Compared to many of the wrestlers, I’m
one of the smaller ones,” Rivas said. “So … it
kind of boosts my confidence to prove to oth-
ers, and to myself, what I can accomplish.”

three rounds to pin Live Oak’s Zach Souza.
It was two weeks previous when Rivas last
reached a championship round. That was in
the Bill Martel tournament in Walnut Creek,
though he was forced to retire due to a nagging
groin injury, one that cost him most of his
junior season last year. In Walnut Creek, it
struck again to relegate him to second place.
This time around, Rivas used his lower half
to win the day, taking down Aptos’ Luke
Keaschall in the third round with a guillotine
move, which requires locking up with an
opponent in a dual headlock, then using both
legs to apply pressure to just one of his.
“It was just a matter of time where the ref was
getting ready to call the pin,” Rivas said. “I
just had to sink a little pressure.”
Kolokihakaufisi’s title match was more
closely contested. The senior upped his sea-
son record to 13-3 with his four wins, starting
with a pin 21 seconds in against Gunderson’s
Cristian Vasquez. In the quarterfinals, it took
him just 18 seconds to pin Aptos’ Elijah

Serra took the underdog status personally
with a comeback win for the ages. Trailing

went on a 19-2 run to pull of a 67-64 victory,
with McDonald leading the way. The senior
shared the game-high with 19 points, nine of
them coming in the fourth quarter. He also
added two assists during the comeback run,
one to tie it 60-60 and another on Serra’s
next possession for the go-ahead score.
Kolokihakaufisi again earned a first-round
pin, but not before he suffered quite the scare
against Live Oak’s Harold Baugher.
“He tripped me and I was almost pinned,”
Kolokihakaufisi said. “I was on my right
shoulder, and I was thinking in my head, ‘if
my shoulder goes down, it’s over.’ And I want-
ed this to be my first first-place win”
Kolokihakaufisi countered by rolling left,
then getting on all fours for a tripod reversal,
causing his opponent to lose his feet. When
that happened, Kolokihakaufisi caught his
leg and took him down, then proceeded to
leverage for 40 more seconds for the pin at the
1:49 mark.
And with it: San Mateo’s second individual
gold medal of the day.
Now that the two gold medalists are making
names for themselves, maybe they can actual-
ly get those names pronounced correctly.
Rivas lists by his full name — Romelo Rivas
Aguilar — though he insists ‘Rivas’ will do.
As for Kolokihakaufisi, through four years
of high school, he has yet to hear a teacher
pronounce the Tongan surname correctly dur-

“No,” Kolokihakaufisi said. “A lot of teach-
ers, they always mess it up.”

Then, you’re trying to survive,

Serena returns to Australian Open with emphatic win
By John Pye
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MELBOURNE, Australia — Serena
Williams jumped straight back in where she
left off at the Australian Open, returning for
the first time since winning the title in 2017
when she was pregnant with her first child.
Williams conceded only five points in the
first set and was completely clinical in a 6-
0, 6-2 win over Tatjana Maria, another mom
who lives close to Williams in Florida and
visits for play dates with their daughters.
It was overwhelming for Maria, who got
just two of her first serves into play in the
first set and didn’t have game points until
she held in the fourth game of the second set.
She was in tears as the pair hugged at the net
following the match, and Williams joined
the crowd in giving the German player a clap
as she left the arena.
“Yeah, I think the last time I was here, I
was pregnant and playing at the same time
— which is insane,” Williams said. “It’s
kind of weird walking back on, by myself
this time.”
Williams considers the 2017 victory here
among the best of her 23 Grand Slam singles
titles, giving everything that was going on.
Since returning to the tour following the
birth of Alexis Olympia, Williams hasn’t
added to her list of majors, having lost the
finals at Wimbledon and the U.S. Open.
“Literally the best win of my career,” she
recalled Tuesday in a post-match TV inter-
view. “Just exciting to be back.”
At Melbourne Park, she’s now on an eight-
match winning streak. She’s only lost one
of her last 22 matches at the season-opening
major, which she has won seven times.
The 37-year-old Williams said she loves to
test herself early in the year after practicing
“hard for that first hit.”
“I like to jump into the deep end and
swim,” she said.
The 16th-seeded Williams will face either

6-3, 6-2 to progress to the second round.
No. 12 Elise Mertens and No. 21 Qiang
Wang also advanced.
Kei Nishikori is feeling a little bit liberat-
ed after having to come back from two sets
down to beat Kamil Majchrzak in a difficult
opener.
The eighth-seeded Nishikori won 10 con-
secutive games after losing the second set in
a tiebreaker and took 15 of the last 17 games
before Majchrzak retired with an injury with
the score at 3-6, 6-7 (6), 6-0, 6-2, 3-0 at
Margaret Court Arena.
“He was playing amazing tennis, ”
Nishikori said. “I have to be happy going
to the next round — I almost lost in the
first round, so I have to be positive and get
better.”

fended off the only break-point chance she
faced. Aaiva, who was the first player born
in this century to play in the main draw of a
major when she got a wild card here in 2017,
didn’t help herself with six double-faults.

coach who left the seeding meet-
ing wondering if their teams
should even play considering how
one-sided their draw was.
“I think everybody recognized
we had to do something. The qual-
ity of the games prior to the
finals was atrocious,” Sell said.
The new system would have the
top 40 teams slotted 1 through
40, with the top eight teams play-
ing in Division I (or whatever it
will be called), the next eight
playing in Division II and down
the line. All five CCS division
champions would qualify for Nor
Cal championship games.
Automatic bids and power
points will still be used, but there
will be an added number — a
team’s ranking, as determined by
the Calpreps.com state rankings.
The team with the highest state
ranking would earn 40 points, the
second-highest ranked team would
get 39 points, and down the line
to No. 40 getting one point.
The power points and ranking
number would then be added
together to get the final total. The
eight teams with the most points
go into the top division, the next
eight to the next division and so
on.
The new system will have no
impact on the number of automat-
ic bids. The five “A” league divi-
sions — which includes the PAL
Bay and the WCAL — will all still
have four automatic bids, “B”
leagues will still have two each
and “C” league champions still
receive CCS bids. Those teams
will still use their power points
combined with their ranking
score to determine where they
belong 1 through 33.
Thirty-three represents the
number of automatic bids into
CCS, meaning there are seven at-
large slots still to be filled. Only
the next 10 teams with the most
power points would be eligible to
apply for one of the those at-large
spots, at which time their ranking
number would be added to find the
last best seven teams.
The new proposal, which Sell
spearheaded and who believes has
an excellent chance of being
implement for the 2019 season,
has already passed the first two
approval committees — CCS
football coaches and athletic
directors. This week, the execu-
tive committee will determine its
official stance on the proposal
before sending it to the board of
managers.

Trump birth control coverage rules blocked nationwide
By Marc Levy
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HARRISBURG, Pa. — A federal judge on
Monday put a nationwide hold on Trump
administration rules that allow more
employers to opt out of providing women
with no-cost birth control.
U.S. District Judge Wendy Beetlestone in
Philadelphia agreed with a lawsuit original-
ly filed by Pennsylvania, citing the poten-
tial harm to states should the rules be
enforced.
Numerous citizens could lose contracep-
tive coverage, Beetlestone wrote, resulting
in the increased use of state-funded contra-
ceptive services, as well as increased costs
to state services from unintended pregnan-
cies.
The rules, scheduled to take effect
Monday, would change a mandate under
2010’s Affordable Care Act by allowing
more employers, including publicly traded
companies, to opt out of providing no-cost
contraceptive coverage to women by claim-
ing religious objections. Some private
employers could also now object on moral
grounds.
Pennsylvania’s attorney general, Josh
Shapiro, called the court ruling a “victory
for the health and economic independence
of women” and the rejection of a Trump
administration move to violate a federal law
that requires insurers to cover the services.
“Congress hasn’t changed that law, and
An illustration picture shows a woman holding a birth control pill.
the president can’t simply ignore it with an
illegal rule,” Shapiro said.
New Jersey later joined Pennsylvania in
suing.
In issuing the injunction, Beetlestone
wrote in her opinion that the states were
likely to win their lawsuit’s claims that
Trump’s administration violated procedural
REUTERS
requirements for how regulations must be
created and that the rules exceed the scope of
authority under the Affordable Care Act.
The Department of Justice did not say
whether it would appeal, saying only that it
will “continue to vigorously defend reli-
gious liberty.” The Department of Health
and Human Services said the rules affirm the
administration’s commitment to upholding
constitutional freedoms.
“No American should be forced to violate
his or her own conscience in order to abide
by the laws and regulations governing our
health care system,” Health and Human
Services Department spokeswoman Caitlin
Oakley said in a statement.
On Sunday, a federal judge in California
blocked the rules from taking effect in the
jurisdictions in the lawsuit before him.
Those included California, New York and 11
other states along with Washington, D.C.
At issue is a requirement under former
Democratic President Barack Obama’s
health care law that birth control services
be covered at no additional cost.
Obama officials included exemptions for
religious organizations. But the administra-
tion of President Donald Trump, a
Republican, sought to expand those exemp-
tions and added “moral convictions” as a
basis to opt out of providing birth control
services.
The Justice Department has argued that
the new rules “protect a narrow class of sin-
cere religious and moral objectors from
being forced to facilitate practices that con-
flict with their beliefs.”
Beetlestone had previously blocked an
interim version of the rules in a December
2017 ruling. In November, the Trump
administration rolled out a final version of
the rule, prompting another challenge by
states.

Big winners in Trump rollback of wetlands rules? Developers
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — President Donald
Trump pointed to farmers Monday as win-
ners from the administration’s proposed
rollback of federal protections for wet-
lands and waterways across the country,
describing farmers crying in gratitude
when he ordered the change.
But under long-standing federal law and
rules, farmers and farmland already are
exempt from most of the regulatory hurdles

It would allow PG&E to hold off creditors
and continue providing electricity and nat-
ural gas without interruption to its 16 mil-
lion customers in Northern and central
California while it tries to put its finances
in order.
The filing would not make the lawsuits
disappear, but would result in all wildfire
claims being consolidated into a single
proceeding before a bankruptcy judge, not
a jury. That could shield the company from
excessive jury verdicts and buy time by
putting a hold on the claims.
Chapter 11 reorganization represents
“the only viable option to address the
company’s responsibilities to its stake-
holders, ” Richard Kelly, chairman of
PG&E’s board of directors, said in a state-
ment.
“The Chapter 11 process allows us to
work with these many constituents in one
court-supervised forum to comprehensive-

on behalf of wetlands that the Trump
administration is targeting. Because of
that, environmental groups long have
argued that builders, oil and gas drillers and
other industry owners would be the big
winners if the government adopts the
pending rollback, making it easier to fill
in bogs, creeks and streams for plowing,
drilling, mining or building.
Government numbers released last
month support that argument.
Real estate developers and those in other
ly address our potential liabilities and to
implement appropriate changes.”
State officials are investigating whether
the utility’s equipment sparked the dead-
liest, most destructive wildfire in
California history, a November Northern
California blaze that killed at least 86 peo-
ple and burned down 15,000 homes.
State investigators have also blamed
PG&E power lines for some fires in
October 2017. Authorities are also look-
ing into the cause of a blaze that destroyed
thousands of homes and killed 22 people
in Santa Rosa last year.
California law requires utilities to pay
damages for wildfires if their equipment
caused the blazes — even if the utilities
weren’t negligent through, say, inadequate
maintenance.
PG&E, which is the nation’s largest util-
ity by revenue and is based in San
Francisco, said it is giving the required 15
days’ notice that it plans to file for bank-
ruptcy protection.
It said it will continue working with reg-
ulators and stakeholders to consider how it
can safely provide energy “in an environ-
ment that continues to be challenged by

business sectors take out substantially
more permits than farmers for projects
impinging on wetlands, creeks and
streams, and they stand to reap the biggest
regulatory and financial relief from the
Trump administration’s rollback of wet-
lands protections.
Speaking to the American Farm Bureau
Federation in New Orleans, Trump told
farmers the federal protections for water-
ways and wetlands were “one of the most
ridiculous” regulations.
climate change.”
The announcement follows the resigna-
tion of chief executive Geisha Williams a
day earlier. She leaves with a $2.5 million
severance payout, a spokesman told the
Mercury News of San Jose.
In a Monday filing with the Securities
and Exchange Commission, the company
said the liabilities it faces from 2017 and
2018 wildfires could exceed $30 billion,
not including punitive damages, fines and
penalties.
The largest bankruptcy filing on record
by a utility was Energy Future Holdings
Corp. in 2014, which had $49.7 billion in
liabilities in today’s dollars, according to
an analysis by Kevin Kelly, director of
publications at S&P Global.
Veteran New York bankruptcy lawyer H.
Jeffrey Schwartz said PG&E’s bankruptcy
should prove to be the biggest yet, since it
had about $50 billion in liabilities at the
end of 2017. That does not include claims
from 2018 wildfires.
He said the utility has no other way of
getting out from under the mountain of
legal claims.
“The liability is too great. It’s too many
claims, the aggregate amount is too great,
and it looks at first blush to be indefensi-
ble because PG&E knew of this risk and
didn’t clear the line areas as it should
have,” Schwartz said.
He said he expects shareholders to bear
the brunt of the restructuring. Bankruptcy
court has no say over the rates utility cus-
tomers pay; those are decided by state reg-
ulators and politicians.
As for the lawsuits, PG&E will negotiate
with the plaintiffs and its other creditors a
reorganization plan based on how much
the utility is able to pay, said Hugh Wynne

“It was a total kill on you and other busi-
nesses,” Trump said. He claimed farmers
and builders alike wept in gratitude when
he signed an executive order in 2017, as
one of the first official acts of his presi-
dency, directing a rewrite of the wetlands
protections.
“We’re going to keep federal regula-

ponds, ” Trump told the cheering farmers
Monday.
of Sovereign Research, an investment
research firm.
“You avoid a situation where some jury in
California thinks PG&E is responsible for
this fire, so we should hit them up for all
these damages and let them sort out how
they pay for it,” Wynne said.
A bankruptcy also would allow PG&E to
raise cash by selling assets — such as its
gas business and hydropower plants —
more easily, he said.
PG&E spent millions in an 11th-hour
lobbying effort at the end of the California
legislative session in August in a failed
attempt to change the law to reduce its lia-
bility in wildfires.
Before last year’s disastrous fire in
Northern California’s Butte County,
PG&E’s stock stood at $47.80. But in early
Monday trading it tumbled $8.48 to $9.11,
its lowest level in more than 16 years.
Wall Street last week slashed PG&E’s cred-
it rating to junk status.
PG&E also filed for Chapter 11 in 2001
amid rising electricity prices during
California’s energy crisis.
California’s new governor, Democrat
Gavin Newsom, told reporters that “safety,
reliability and affordability” are his top
concerns, alongside protecting wildfire
victims and ratepayers, in confronting the
potential bankruptcy. He sought to assure
the public that this potential bankruptcy
won’t result in power shutoffs.
He said addressing the pending bankrupt-
cy, and potentially avoiding it, is a top
priority for his new administration, but he
hasn’t settled on what actions to take. He
said the state has “no choice” but to work
collaboratively with the utility even
though it has not been a “trusted player” in
the past.

Continued from page 1
Speier, D-San Mateo, has requested
more information on the EPA’s plans
and is requesting a meeting prior to
any final decision about the site,
located in her congressional district.  The EPA declined to comment on
“In addition to Redwood City, the
changes around the [salt] ponds have
potential impacts on other communi-
ties and an adjacent seaport. Any
final plans for the ponds may also
have precedential impact upon devel-
opments throughout the Bay region,”
according to the letter sent last
month to Andrew Wheeler, the EPA’s
acting director. “Many plans have
been proposed over the years and it is
important to my constituents and to
the health of the San Francisco Bay
estuary that the nation’s laws regard-
ing endangered species protection
and restoration be upheld in any final
proposals that are adopted for the
property.”
The 1, 400-acre Bayside property
once used to harvest commercial salt
has had different development pro-
posal iterations over the years. The
most recent proposal by DMB
Ventures would have created about
12,000 homes amid some wetlands
restoration but was dropped in 2012
after years of controversy. While any
development proposal would be sub-
ject to approval by the Redwood City
Council, this site is also subject to
other approvals by the Bay
Conservation and Development
Commission and federal agencies.
LOCKNER
Continued from page 1
Lockner was set to begin Monday
morning but a conference was held
instead under Judge Stephanie Garratt,
who some 16 months ago made an
offer to Lockner to accept a maximum
and minimum sentence of four years in
state prison, said District Attorney
Steve Wagstaffe.
Wagstaffe said Garratt offered
Lockner a sentence of four years in
state prison and said she would accept
a pre-sentence report, a deal her
defense attorney Jonathan McDougall
accepted. Wagstaffe noted the deal
reached Monday allows McDougall to
make a case for probation or fewer
years in prison when his client returns
for sentencing May 3.
Lockner is said to have been work-
ing an evening shift at the fast-food
restaurant when she made repeated
trips to the restroom that evening, cit-
ing stomach pain. At around 10 p.m.,
Which federal agency is the lead was
the subject of some dispute until
2015 when the EPA took that on over

—  a move in which the developer
expressed disappointment.
Cargill/DMB had requested that the
EPA and the U. S. Army Corps of
Engineers make a jurisdictional deter-
mination over whether the site was
subject to federal laws including the
Clean Water and Rivers and Harbors
acts. If the EPA declared it exempt
from the acts, it would eliminate a

Administrator, Andrew Wheeler, is
preparing to declare that Redwood

director, wrote in a statement on the
nonprofit’s website. “This action
her manager suggested she go home
but, even after clocking out of her
shift, Lockner stayed at the restaurant
in the restroom, according to prosecu-
tors.
One employee who checked on
Lockner saw blood surrounding the
stall. When a second employee
checked on her, she looked over
Lockner’s stall and saw her holding
the baby face down in the toilet bowl.
The employee said she heard the toilet
flush when she stepped down and alert-
ed police, despite Lockner’s request
that she not alert authorities, accord-
ing to prosecutors.
Though the child was without a pulse
and not breathing when police arrived,
he responded to emergency care at the
hospital. Lockner is believed to have
told police at the scene she didn’t
know she was pregnant and was sur-
prised the baby was born, according to
prosecutors.

“We’d like Cargill to withdraw their
request and for the EPA to not approve

whether a decision on the Redwood
City salt ponds is impending. And
David Smith, an attorney represent-
ing DMB, said he was unaware of any
upcoming EPA rulings on the site.
“This lingering federal question
has stifled conversation [about the
future of the site] and we’ve been ask-
ing for an answer from the federal
government for 12 years,” he said.
“The filing has remained with the
Corps and EPA for 12 years and we
haven’t filed anything new.” 
Even if the EPA does declare the site
exempt from Clean Water Act protec-
tions, Lewis conceded that develop-
ment on the salt ponds would be
unlikely and face numerous obsta-
cles.
“Even if they get this they face
City’s current zoning and land use
designation that prohibits develop-
cant changes in state laws and poli-
cies,” he said. “When this develop-
ment proposal was pending, we got
hundreds of neighboring city offi-
cials and state elected officials on the
record saying they’re opposed to
development on the salt ponds.
There’s regional opposition in addi-
tion to Redwood City opposition.”
which she was allegedly unaware she
was pregnant and gave birth to her now
4-year-old child.
Lockner reportedly walked into the
bathroom of her apartment while her
boyfriend and aunt were there and came
out with a newborn baby. None of the
parties, including Lockner, were aware
she was pregnant at the time, accord-
ing to prosecutors.
Wagstaffe estimated Lockner, who
has been in custody on $11 million
bail since the incident, could serve a
significant portion of her prison term
by the time she is sentenced in May.
Though he said he was disappointed
the plea deal could not have come
sooner, Wagstaffe said he was satisfied
with the deal reached Monday.
“The outcome here is a reasonable
one, ” he said. “It does hold her
accountable for the harm she tried to
inflict on this baby.”
Wagstaffe noted the baby is reported
to be healthy and living with his
father’s aunt.
McDougall could not be immediately
reached for comment Monday.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Phillip McGinnis
Case Number: 19PRO00017
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of Phillip McGinnis. A Peti-
tion for Probate has been filed by Patrick
T. Galligan in the Superior Court of Cali-
fornia, County of San Mateo. The Peti-
tion for Probate requests that Patrick T.
Galligan be appointed as personal repre-
sentative to administer the estate of the
decedent.
The petition requests the decedent’s will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The will and any codicils are avail-
able for examination in the file kept by
the court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant au-
thority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: FEB 13, 2019 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the peti-
tion, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hear-
ing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent cred-
itor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representa-
tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under sectioin
9052 of the California Probate Code.Oth-
er California statutes and legal authority
may affect your rights as a creditor. You
may want to consult with an attorney
knowledgable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-

BUDGET
Continued from page 1
makes good use of public funds, but it is
appropriately aggressive in its focus on
helping Californians who need it most,” he
said in a prepared statement.
County Superintendent Nancy Magee too
expressed her support for Newsom’s vision.
“The governor’s proposed budget repre-
sents a fresh, bold approach that I find
encouraging,” she said in an email.
Newsom’s willingness to follow through
on campaign promises by proposing to
allocate $1.8 billion for funding preschool
and early education programs may offer the
biggest bang for the buck, said Thurmond.
“All children need to enter grade school
ready and prepared to learn, but some chil-
dren, especially those from low-income
communities, do not have access to high
quality early learning programs, creating a
‘readiness gap.’ This investment would help
reduce that gap,” said Thurmond.
LOCAL
In making their case for the value of early
education, advocates point to research
showing students with access to preschool
or similar programs are put on an initial
track for success well ahead of those without
similar opportunities.
Early education access has also been iden-
tified as vital in the effort to close the
achievement gap which exists between stu-
dents who excel in school — frequently
with help of supplemental programs — and
those who do not.
Beyond the additional investment in early
education, Thurmond also admired
Newsom’s interest in pumping $40 million
more into the community college system
under an effort to waive a second year of
tuition costs. The state already offers the
first year free for first-time community col-
lege students.
Mitch Bailey, spokesman for the San
Mateo County Community College
District, said the district appreciates
Newsom’s interest in making community
college more affordable.
“The governor’s budget proposal to offer
free tuition to attend community college is
certainly a positive step to increase access
for students,” he said in an email.
He noted though there is much more
required to assure students can afford com-
munity college, which drives the district’s
interest in offering services such as the
College Promise program. The initiative
grants students financial assistance for
tuition, meals, textbooks and transporta-
tion and also offers academic support to
those who need the help.
“Getting free tuition is great, but if you
can’t afford the textbook for the free class or
afford the cost of transportation to get to
the college or the cost of a meal when you
do get to campus, then accessing higher
education is still very challenging,” he
said.
Also notable is a proposed $3 billion to
help school districts pay down their pen-
sion liability, a main source of financial
anxiety for school districts throughout the
state.
Locally, officials across the county have
pointed to the debt as a substantial financial
hurdle which they must plan to climb. In
some districts, dire financial issues have
Tuesday • Jan 15, 2019 27
been directly linked to the unfunded liabili-
ty. To that end, officials in Redwood City
and San Bruno agreed to close schools par-
tially in an effort to save money for address-
ing pension obligations in their district.
Magee applauded Newsom’s offer to help
district’s address their pension payments.
“Paying down the [The California State
Teachers’ Retirement System] liability out-
side of Prop. 98 will relieve some of the bur-
den on schools and allow them to focus on
implementing their local goals and creating
better outcomes for students,” she said.
Amber Farinha, spokeswoman for the San
Mateo-Foster City Elementary School
District, agreed but countered that perspec-
tive with guarded enthusiasm, recognizing
the spending plan could transform in
advance of the summer approval deadline.
“We are pleased that the issue of the
employer paid STRS/PERS rate increases is
being addressed by the state,” she said in an
email. “However, we are also cautiously
optimistic as this is the preliminary budget
and there are typically changes between
now and the May revise and the final budget
adoption in June.”

Death penalty for Canadian escalates China tensions

By Rob Gillies and Christopher Bodeen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TORONTO — A Chinese court sentenced a Canadian man

to death on Monday in a sudden retrial of a drug smug-
gling case and Beijing said that it has denied a Canadian
diplomatic immunity, ratcheting up tensions since
Canada’s arrest of a top Chinese technology executive
last month.
A Chinese court in northeastern Liaoning province
announced that it had given Robert Lloyd Schellenberg
the death penalty, reversing an earlier 2016 ruling that
sentenced him to 15 years in prison.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau strongly con-
demned Monday’s proceeding, suggesting that China was
using its judicial system to pressure Canada over the
arrest of Meng Wanzhou, chief financial officer of the
Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei.
In his strongest comments yet, Trudeau said “all coun-
tries around the world” should be concerned that Beijing
is acting arbitrarily with its justice system.
“It is of extreme concern to us as a government, as it
should be to all our international friends and allies, that
China has chosen to begin to arbitrarily apply a death
REUTERS FILE PHOTO penalty,” Trudeau said.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Chinese Premier Li Keqiang attend a welcoming ceremony in Beijing, China. Canada later updated its travel advisory for China to
warn Canadians of “the risk of arbitrary enforcement of
local laws.”
Further escalating the diplomatic rift between the two

countries, a Chinese spokeswoman said earlier Monday
that Michael Kovrig, a former Canadian diplomat taken
into custody in apparent retaliation for Meng’s arrest,
650-322-9288 was not eligible for diplomatic immunity as Trudeau has
maintained.
A senior Canadian government official said Chinese
FOR ALL YOUR ELECTRICAL NEEDS® officials have been questioning Kovrig about his diplo-
matic work in China, which is a major reason why Trudeau
is asserting diplomatic immunity. The official, who was
not authorized to comment publicly about the case, spoke
on condition of anonymity.
