Gas prices surge
Average price per gallon in California hits $4 for first time since 2014
Gov. Gavin Newsom seeks
explanation for fuel spike
By Adam Beam
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — California’s governor
wants to know why gas prices are higher
than in the rest of the country, blaming
potential “inappropriate industry prac-
tices” Tuesday rather than the state’s high-
er taxes and tougher environmental regula-
tions.
Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom asked
the California Energy Commission for an
analysis of the state’s gas prices by May
15. California drivers were paying an aver-
age of $4.03 per gallon Tuesday, or $1.18
more than the national average, according
to AAA.
Higher taxes, along with a combination
of tougher gas standards and environmen-

California motorists are paying more at
the pump than they have in five years, with
surging prices primarily due to maintenance
upgrades and repairs at refineries across the
state, officials said. 
The state’s average gas price is currently
hovering at $4.03 per gallon — a 70 cent
increase within the last month, said AAA
Northern California spokesman Michael
Blasky.
“It’s been a long time since we’ve seen a
spike like this,” he said, adding that the
average price hasn’t surpassed the $4 mark-
er since July of 2014. “California refineries
produce all the gasoline that Californians
use because of fuel requirements and if there
are local refinery issues then it has an
immediate impact on California prices

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — A federal judge
approved Pacific Gas & Electric Corp.’s
plans Tuesday to pay $235 million in
employee bonuses this year, despite the
California utility’s bankruptcy and objec-
tions from lawyers of victims of the state’s
massive wildfires.
The Sacramento Bee reports that U.S.
Bankruptcy Judge Dennis Montali approved
the plan at a hearing in San Francisco. His
ruling came two weeks after he delayed a
decision, saying he needed more informa-
tion from PG&E about the thresholds
employees would need to meet to qualify for
the bonuses.
Pacific Gas and Electric Co. said the pay-
ments would be heavily weighted toward
achieving safety goals and were needed to
promote stability in its workforce amid the
chaos surrounding the company. The pay-
ments will not go to senior management but
be given to about 10,000 rank-and-file
employees, the newspaper reported.
PG&E has said the bonus program was
restructured with its Chapter 11 case in
mind.
PG&E filed for bankruptcy in January in
the face of billions of dollars in potential
liability from huge wildfires in California
in 2017 and 2018.
The utility has been blamed for more than
a dozen of California’s most destructive
wildfires in the past two years. A November
fire that essentially wiped out the Northern
California town of Paradise was the dead-
liest and most destructive in state history.
Lawyers for wildfire victims have argued
that PG&E created an incentive plan with
goals that were too easy to achieve, a claim
the utility denies, saying it is focused on
meeting ambitious safety goals.
The utility scrapped its plan to pay $130
million in bonuses for 2018. Attorneys for
wildfire victims had objected to the awards.
The new bonus figure is for work done in
2019.

Google’s Wing Aviation gets FAA OK for drone deliveries
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Google affiliate Wing
Aviation has received federal approval
allowing it to make commercial deliveries
by drone.
It’s the first time a company has gotten a
federal air carrier certification for drone
deliveries.
The approval from the Federal Aviation
Administration means that Wing can oper-
ate commercial drone flights in part of
Virginia, which it plans to begin later this
year.
The FAA said Tuesday that the company
met the agency’s safety requirements by
participating in a pilot program in Virginia
with the Mid-Atlantic Aviation Partnership
and Virginia Tech, and by conducting thou-
sands of flights in Australia over the past
several years.
“This is an important step forward for the
safe testing and integration of drones into
our economy, ” Transportation Secretary
Elaine Chao said in a statement.
Wing said the approval “means that we
can begin a commercial service delivering
goods from local businesses to homes in
the United States.”

US expands probe into air bag failures to 12.3M vehicles
By Tom Krisher
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT — U.S. auto safety regulators
have expanded an investigation into mal-
functioning air bag controls to include 12.3
million vehicles equipped with bags that
may not inflate in a crash. The problem
could be responsible for as many as eight
deaths.
Vehicles made by Toyota, Honda, Kia,
Hyundai, Mitsubishi and Fiat Chrysler from
the 2010 through 2019 model years are
included in the probe, which was revealed
Tuesday in documents posted by the
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration. It involves air bag control
units made by ZF-TRW that were installed in
the vehicles.
The control units can fail in a crash, pos-
sibly because of unwanted electrical signals
produced by the crash itself that can disable
an air bag control circuit housed in the pas-
senger compartment, according to NHTSA
documents. The electrical signals can dam-
age the control circuit, the documents say.
ZF, a German auto parts maker which
acquired TRW Automotive in 2015, said that

businesses in Blacksburg and
it’s committed to safety and is cooperating
with NHTSA and automakers in the investi-
gation.
The case is another in a long list of prob-
lems with auto industry air bags, including
faulty and potentially deadly Takata air bag
inflators. At least 24 people have been
killed worldwide and more than 200 injured
by the Takata inflators, which can explode
with too much force and hurl dangerous
shrapnel into the passenger cabin. The
inflators touched off the largest series of
automotive recalls in U.S. history with as
many as 70 million inflators to be recalled
by the end of next year. About 100 million
inflators are to be recalled worldwide.
On April 19, NHTSA upgraded the ZF-TRW
probe from a preliminary evaluation to an
engineering analysis, which is a step closer
toward seeking recalls. So far, only Hyundai
and Kia and Fiat Chrysler have issued recalls
in the case. Four deaths that may have been
caused by the problem were reported in
Hyundai-Kia vehicles and three in Fiat
Chrysler automobiles. NHTSA opened an
investigation in March of 2017 involving
the TRW parts in Hyundais and Kias.
The upgrade came after investigators

had to show that one of its drone deliveries
would pose less risk to pedestrians than the
same trip made in a car. The company said
its drones have flown more than 70,000 test
flights and made more than 3,000 deliveries
to customers in Australia.
The company is touting many benefits
from deliveries by electric drones. It says
medicine and food can be delivered faster,
that drones will be especially helpful to
consumers who need help getting around,
and that they can reduce traffic and emis-
sions.
Drone usage in the U.S. has grown rapid-
ly in some industries such as utilities,
pipelines and agriculture. But drones have
faced more obstacles in delivering retail
packages and food because of federal regula-
tions that bar most flights over crowds of
people and beyond sight of the operator
without a waiver from the FAA.

Americans getting more inactive, computers partly to blame
By Lindsey Tanner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Americans are becoming increasingly
sedentary, spending almost a third of their
waking hours sitting down, and computer
use is partly to blame, a new study found.
Over almost a decade, average daily sitting
time increased by roughly an hour, to about
eight hours for U.S. teens and almost 6 1/2
hours for adults, according to the
researchers. That includes school and work
hours, but leisure-time computer use among
all ages increased too.
By 2016, at least half of American kids and
adults spent an hour or more of leisure time
daily using computers. The biggest increase
was among the oldest adults: 15% of retire-
ment-aged adults reported using computers
that often in 2003-04, soaring to more than
half in 2015-16.
Most Americans of all ages watched TV or
videos for at least two hours daily and that
was mostly unchanged throughout the study,

A new study shows Americans are becoming increasingly sedentary, computers partly to blame. 11, up to 84% of seniors.
“Everything we found is concerning,” said
lead author Yin Cao, a researcher at
Washington University’s medical school in
St. Louis. “The overall message is pro-
longed sitting is highly prevalent,” despite
prominent health warnings about the dan-
gers of being too sedentary.
The researchers analyzed U.S. government
health surveys from almost 52,000
Americans, starting at age 5, from 2001-
2016. Total sitting time was assessed for
teens and adults starting in 2007. The results
were published Tuesday in the Journal of the
American Medical Association.

ods of sitting can increase risks for obesity,
diabetes, heart disease and some cancers.
U.S. activity guidelines released last fall say
adults need at least 150 minutes to 300 min-
utes of moderate-to-vigorous activity each
week, things like brisk walking, jogging,
biking or tennis. Muscle strengthening two
days weekly is also advised. Immediate ben-
efits include reduced blood pressure and anx-
iety and better sleep. Long-term benefits
include improved brain health and lower
risks for falls.
Kids aged 6 through 17 need 60 minutes of
moderate-to-vigorous physical activity
daily. Regular activity is even recommended
for kids as young as 3. But only about 1 in 4
U.S. adults and 1 in 5 teens get recommend-
ed amounts.
College student Daisy Lawing spends a lot
of time sitting, but says she doesn’t have
much choice. Classes and homework on the
computer take up much of her day.
“I always feel bad” about being inactive,
she said Tuesday at an Asheville, North
Carolina, cafe, explaining that she did a
school paper about the benefits of physical
activity.
“I try to walk a lot, try to work out twice a
week. But sometimes I can’t because I’m too
busy with school,” Lawing, 21, a junior at
Appalachian State University in Boone.
Peter T. Katzmarzyk of the Pennington
Biomedical Research Center in Baton
Rouge, Louisiana, said people who sit all
day need to do more than the minimum rec-
ommended amount of physical activity to
counteract the harms of being sedentary.
“We’ve just got to really work on the pop-
ulation to get the message out there.
Physical activity is good for everyone,” he
said.

Attorney Jeff Anderson speaks during a news conference accusing the Boy Scouts of America of harboring thousands of
sexual abusers in New York.
Looming wave of sexual abuse
cases poses threat to Boy Scouts
By David Crary
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — The lawyers’ ads on
the internet aggressively seeking
clients to file sexual abuse lawsuits
give a taste of what lies ahead this year
for the Boy Scouts of America: poten-
tially the most fateful chapter in its
109-year history.
Sexual abuse settlements have
already strained the Boy Scouts’
finances to the point where the organi-
zation is exploring “all available
options,” including Chapter 11 bank-
ruptcy. But now the financial threats
have intensified.
The reason: States have been mov-
ing in recent months to adjust their
statute-of-limitations laws so that
victims of long-ago sexual abuse can
sue for damages. New York state has
passed a law that will allow such law-
suits starting in August. A similar bill
in New Jersey has reached the gover-
nor’s desk. Bills also are pending in
Pennsylvania and California.
In New York and elsewhere, lawyers
are hard at work recruiting clients to sue
the Boy Scouts, alleging they were
molested as youths by scoutmasters or
other volunteers.
Plaintiffs’ lawyers “recognize that
this is a very unique and lucrative
opportunity,” said attorney Karen
Bitar, who formerly handled sex-crime
cases as a prosecutor in Brooklyn
before going into private practice.
Attorney Tim Kosnoff, a veteran of
major sexual abuse lawsuits against the
Roman Catholic Church, said Tuesday
that he and his team have signed up 186
clients from dozens of states in just the
past few weeks who want to be part of
litigation against the Boy Scouts.
Kosnoff said 166 of them identified
alleged abusers who have not been
named in any of the Boy Scout files
made public in past years.
Boy Scouts spokeswoman Effie
Delimarkos said the organization con-
tinues to evaluate its financial situa-
NATION
REUTERS
tion, and she defended its current abuse-
prevention policies. The organization
serves more than 2.2 million youths.
A bankruptcy by the Boy Scouts
could be unprecedented in its complexi-
ty, potentially involving plaintiffs in
virtually every state, according to sev-
eral lawyers. It would be national in
scope, unlike the various Catholic
Church bankruptcy cases in the U.S.,
which have unfolded diocese by dio-
cese.
“A Boy Scout bankruptcy would be
bigger in scale than any other sex abuse
bankruptcy,” said Seattle-based attor-
ney Mike Pfau, whose firm is represent-
ing more than 300 victims in New York
state.
Jeffrey Schwartz, a New York-based
bankruptcy expert with the firm
McKool Smith, said the Boy Scouts
don’t have a particularly large flow of
cash and might be forced to sell off
property in bankruptcy. The Boy
Scouts have extensive land holdings,
including camping and hiking terrain.

Biden to announce 2020 bid on Thursday
WASHINGTON — Answering perhaps the most signifi-
cant question of the early 2020 election season, former Vice
President Joe Biden will launch his pres-
idential campaign on Thursday.
The move, confirmed by a person
familiar with his plans, sets up the 76-
year-old lifelong politician as a front-
runner in the crowded Democratic contest
as the party fights to determine who’s
best positioned to defeat President
Donald Trump next year.
Joe Biden Biden, who spent the last five decades
in Washington but never lost touch with
his working-class background, is scheduled to face union
workers in Pittsburgh on Monday as part of the rollout tour,
the person said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to
disclose private conversations.
While he may be popular with the white working-class in
the Midwest, it’s unclear if Biden will appeal to the more
liberal voters who tend to have outsized sway in Democratic
primary contests.
His decision largely settles the crowded and diverse
Democratic presidential field at 20 candidates, including six
women, five racial minorities and one member of the
LGBTQ community. Biden would be the most experienced
politician in the race, and the second-oldest, after 77-year-
old Bernie Sanders.
Dem donors swoon, and
sometimes fight, over Pete Buttigieg
WASHINGTON — Pete Buttigieg is suddenly the hottest
ticket for Democratic donors in the 2020 presidential con-
test.
Entertainment moguls are fighting
over who will host Hollywood fundraisers
for the 37-year-old mayor of South Bend,
Indiana. Democratic donors are shower-
ing him with praise. And he has been
repeatedly selling out fundraisers across
the U.S.
Whether the gay former military officer
Pete Buttigieg and Rhodes scholar will be able to capi-
talize on his improbable star turn and
build out a campaign with staying power remains to be seen.
What is indisputable, however, is that donors are clamor-
ing for more. That could help thaw a Democratic money
game that’s been largely frozen during the early months of
the primary, with many major financiers waiting for the
crowded field to thin.
“He absolutely must be part of the conversation. I want to
see him in the top tier,” said Susie Tompkins Buell, a top
Hillary Clinton donor who recently held an event for
Buttigieg at a San Francisco yacht club despite previously
announcing her support for Sen. Kamala Harris of
California. “I’m very much supporting Kamala.

Putin, Kim to meet in Russia’s Far East on Thursday

By Nataliya Vasilyeva
and Vladimir Isachenkov
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MOSCOW — Russian President
Vladimir Putin will meet with
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un
for a much-anticipated summit on
Thursday, the Kremlin said, end-
ing weeks of speculation about the
meeting’s timing and venue.
Preparations for the meeting in
Vladivostok, a Russia city on the
Pacific, were held in secrecy
because of North Korean security
concerns, Kremlin adviser Yuri
Ushakov said Tuesday.
Ushakov said the talks would
focus on the standoff over the
North’s nuclear program, noting
REUTERS FILE PHOTOS that Russia will seek to “consoli-
A combination of file photos shows North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and date the positive trends” stem-
Russia’s President Vladimir Putin. ming from U.S. President Donald
Trump’s meetings with Kim.
Kim had two summits with
Trump, but the latest in Vietnam in
February collapsed because North
Korea wanted more sanctions
relief than Washington was will-
ing to give for the amount of
nuclear disarmament offered by
Pyongyang.
Putin’s adviser added that the
Kremlin would try to help “create
preconditions and a favorable
atmosphere for reaching solid
agreements on the problem of the
Korean Peninsula,” Ushakov said.
Ushakov pointed at a Russia-
China roadmap that offered a step-
by-step approach to solving the
nuclear standoff and called for
sanctions relief and security guar-
antees to Pyongyang. He noted
that the North’s moratorium on
nuclear tests and scaling down of
U.S.-South Korean military drills
helped reduce tensions and created
conditions for further progress.
Ushakov said that Putin-Kim
summit’s agenda will also include
bilateral cooperation. He added
that Russia’s trade with North
Korea is minuscule at just $34 mil-
lion last year, mostly because of
the international sanctions
against Pyongyang.
Russia would like to gain broad-
er access to North Korea’s mineral
resources, including rare metals.
Pyongyang, for its part, covets
Russia’s electricity supplies and
wants to attract Russian invest-
ment to modernize its dilapidated
Soviet-built industrial plants,
railways and other infrastructure.
In the meantime, Vladivostok
has been seeing a number of
unusually strict security measures.

Saudi Arabia beheads 37 for terrorism crimes; most Shiites

By Aya Batrawy
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates
— Saudi Arabia on Tuesday
beheaded 37 Saudi citizens, most
of them minority Shiites, in a
mass execution across the coun-
try for alleged terrorism-related
crimes. It also publicly pinned
the executed body and severed
head of a convicted Sunni extrem-
ist to a pole as a warning to oth-
ers.
The executions were likely to
stoke further regional and sectari-
an tensions between rivals Saudi
Arabia and Iran.
Saudi dissident Ali Al-Ahmed,
who runs the Gulf Institute in
Washington, identified 34 of
those executed as Shiites based
on the names announced by the
Interior Ministry.
“This is the largest mass execu-
tion of Shiites in the kingdom’s
history,” he said.
Amnesty International also
confirmed the majority of those
executed were Shiite men. The
rights group said they were con-
victed “after sham trials” that
relied on confessions extracted
through torture.
It marked the largest number of
executions in a single day in
Saudi Arabia since Jan. 2, 2016,
when the kingdom executed 47
people for terrorism-related
crimes in what was the largest
mass execution carried out by
Saudi authorities since 1980.
Among those executed three
years ago were four Shiites,
including prominent Shiite cleric
Nimr al-Nimr, whose death
sparked protests from Pakistan to
Iran and the ransacking of the
Saudi Embassy in Tehran. Saudi-
Iran ties have not recovered and
the embassy remains shuttered.
King Salman ratified by royal
decree Tuesday’s mass execution
and that of 2016. The king, who
has empowered his son Crown
Prince Mohammed bin Salman,
has asserted a bolder and more
decisive leadership style than
previous monarchs since ascend-
ing to the throne in 2015.

Letters to the editor
Open letter to the Peninsula
Health Care District Board
Editor,
We write this letter as clergy in San
Mateo County in relation to your role
as custodians of a precious parcel of
publicly owned land. Your vision is
that all residents of the district enjoy
optimal health and ongoing well-
being at every age and stage of life.
As faith leaders, we share that vision
with you.
Every day we are engaged with our
elderly congregants who are all too
often experiencing deep pain as a
result of a lack of fairness around
housing in our county. We all know
that housing has everything to do
with health and well-being. We have a
collective responsibility to ensure
that vital conditions for well-being
are available to all in society.
In that spirit we are asking you to
reconsider your vision for the use of
the Trousdale land. This publicly
owned parcel represents an opportuni-
ty — even more so one that carries
with it a moral responsibility — to
provide as many seniors as possible
an affordable place to live.
We call upon you to immediately
pause and consider options that will
enable more affordable rental apart-
ments to be built on the land.
Alternatives to market rate housing
are possible — they must be vigor-
ously explored — and we all share a
responsibility in doing what we can
to provide quality of life for our sen-
iors who call this home.
We pray that you will answer our
collective call and take all of the
steps necessary to provide as much
affordable housing as possible on
this sacred piece of public land. We
look forward to working with you to
help bring our hope to fruition.

Mueller report
Editor,
I am in the midst of reading the
Mueller report. The part about the
Russian involvement is more chilling
than a spy novel because it actually
happened to our country.
When the details are presented in
one place, as Mueller has done, the
extent of Russian involvement,
sophistication and success is alarm-
ing. It’s hard to conclude anything,
but that they materially affected the
outcome of the election, and that there
was an alliance with the Trump cam-
paign in some form. It’s startling that
there are no laws to protect us from
how that campaign behaved.
But don’t take my word for it. Read
the report, unfiltered by the media or
politicians. It’s as easy a read as a
crime story.
San Carlos
Change to ECO100
Editor,
District currently has a prime opportu-
nity to prove its commitment to a
healthier, more sustainable future for
its students. By upgrading its electrici-
ty plan to Peninsula Clean Energy
(PCE) ECO100, which would ensure
the district’s electricity needs come
from 100 percent renewable sources,
the district can set an example for the
communities it serves. While the dis-
trict installed solar panels at each of
its six schools in 2013 with Measure
M Bond funds, which have reduced its
carbon emissions by around 1,400
tons per year, upgrading to ECO100
would be a more cost-effective way to
reach a net-zero goal. Although the
solar panels produced about half of the
district’s electricity needs in FY 2017-
18, they cost around $3 million to
install. The PCE ECO100 program,
meanwhile, would cost roughly
$53,000 more per year and give the
district a net-zero carbon footprint.
As an intern with the nonprofit
Citizens Environmental Council of
Burlingame and current junior at
Burlingame High School, I would like
to call on SMUHSD to follow the
visionary lead of the city of
Burlingame and 14 other local public
institutions by upgrading to PCE
ECO100.

Earth Day message
“S
ome parts of the past must be preserved and
— Ashleigh Brilliant.
Some of the latest in the bunch of lies that we’ve had to
endure from our president have to do with wind power —
specifically turbines. He falsely claims (among other
things) that “wind turbines diminish property values by
75 percent” and nonsensically claimed that if they’re used
to generate electricity, “TVs won’t work during calm
weather” and that “noise from wind farms causes cancer.” 
Our president obviously has no regard for the truth and
spouts off anything that comes to mind — regardless of
the issue. According to The Washington Post, Trump’s
penchant for making false and misleading statements has
accelerated from 5.9 a day in his first year in office until
now, in 2019, when they have risen to 22 a day. And how
about this — reported in Thomas Friedman’s column in
the Mercury News on April 14? “While this historic
weather disaster” (a disas-
trous cyclone in Southeast
Asia) “was unfolding,
President Donald Trump
was urging Republicans not
to kill the Democrats’
Green New Deal proposal
— because he wants to run
against it in 2020.”
Quite a few years ago,
when visiting Coyote
Point Environmental
Museum (which is now
known as CuriOdyssey), I
read the following maxim
which I always recall on
Earth Day. “Human beings must learn again to adapt them-
selves to the natural order of the life sphere or their inven-
tions may carry them and all other organisms to extinc-
tion.”
As Eric Fromm wrote in 1976 in his book, “To Have or
To Be”: “The almost unbelievable fact is that no serious
effort is made to avert what looks like a final decree of
fate. While in our private lives nobody except a mad per-
son would remain passive in view of the threat to his total
existence, those who are in charge of public affairs do
practically nothing, and those who have entrusted their
fate to them continue to do nothing. How is it possible
that the strongest of all instincts, that for survival, seems
to have ceased to motivated us.”
In many ways, the changes needed to save our planet
will be hard coming. The ideal way to begin would be to
have government leaders who motivate people to action.
But too often our leaders take actions that make it look
like they are doing something effective — conferences,
resolutions, putting issues to committee for study, and
one very often used — well-calculated rhetoric. All the
while they are catering to lobbyists who want to make
sure that there is no legislation that will cramp the style
of other corporate interests.
In the sociopathic system that ours is rapidly becom-
ing, those in charge are more often concerned with their
own personal success than in social responsibility. Few
of us do much more than bat an eye when politicians and
corporate and business executives make decisions that
benefit them personally or are advantageous to the corpo-
ration but will be harmful ecologically now or in the
future.
Any alternative view of society that would make inroads
into the environmental crisis is stifled by the fearful,
rigid, authoritarian system. Great minds who question that
the American way is the only way or the best way are not
enough heard. To many people, it is heretical to think that
the “being mode” is much more conducive to planetary
well-being than the “having mode.” As Fromm wrote:
“Indeed, as long as the problems of social reconstruction
will not, even if only partly, take the place of preoccupa-
tion with science and technique, the imagination will be
lacking to visualize new and realistic alternatives.”
I hope that Earth Day has reminded us of how we need to
remember that we human beings cannot ravage the earth at
our will without taking into account the future devastating
consequences. It is especially crucial now that we have an
egocentric president who is only concerned with influenc-
ing others — whether truthfully or not. We need to remem-
ber what Fritjof Capra wrote in “The Turning Point”: “In
our civilization we have modified our environment to such
an extent during this cultural revolution that we have lost
touch with our biological and ecological base more than
any other culture and any other civilization in the past.
This separation manifests itself in a striking disparity
between intellectual power, scientific knowledge and tech-
nological skills on the one hand, and of wisdom, spiritu-
ality and ethics on the other.”
As E.J. Dionne Jr. asked in his newspaper column of
April 14, “How many decades will it take to dig out of the
wreckage this president has created?”

S&P 500, Nasdaq close at record highs
By Damian J. Troise and Alex Veiga
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The S&P 500 hit an all-time high Tuesday,
marking the stock market’s complete recov-
ery from a nosedive at the end of last year.
The benchmark index’s previous record
was set last September, shortly before the
market sank in the fourth quarter amid fears of
a recession, an escalating trade war between
the U.S. and China, and concern the Federal
Reserve was moving too aggressively to
raise interest rates.
Those concerns have eased or taken a back
seat to more optimism among investors this
year. Investors are more confident in the
prospects for steady, if slower, growth. And
they’ve been encouraged by an increasingly
hands-off Federal Reserve, which has sig-
naled this year that it may not raise interest
rates at all in 2019 after seven increases the
prior two years.
Traders are also feeling more optimistic
about the global economy. In China, eco-
nomic growth held steady at 6.4% in the first
quarter of the year as increased government
efforts to stem a slowdown gained traction.
In the U.S., job growth rebounded in March
following a surprisingly weak February.
And the uncertainty over the costly trade
dispute between the U.S. and China has eased
in recent weeks amid signs that both sides
are making progress toward reaching a reso-
lution.
The S&P 500 has now recovered all of the
ground it lost last fall, gaining 24.8% since
it hit a bottom on Christmas Eve.

Feds: Ex-CEO is first drug
exec indicted in opioid crisis
NEW YORK — The former head of a drug
distributor has been indicted on what feder-
al prosecutors say are the first criminal
charges against a drug company executive
to stem from the opioid crisis.
The indictment unsealed Tuesday alleges
former Rochester Drug Co-Operative CEO
Laurence Doud III ordered subordinates to
ignore red flags about certain pharmacy
customers to maximize company revenues
and his own pay, which more than doubled
between 2012 and 2016 as the company’s
sales of drugs like oxycodone and fentanyl
skyrocketed.
Doud, 75, surrendered to authorities in
New York City and is awaiting arraignment
on two counts of conspiracy. His lawyer
said he would fight the charges. If convict-
ed, he faces a mandatory minimum sentence
of 10 years in prison, U. S. Attorney
Geoffrey Berman said.
Rochester Drug Co-Operative and another
former executive were also charged. The
company entered into a deferred prosecu-
tion agreement, and former compliance
chief William Pietruszewski reached a coop-
eration agreement.
“This prosecution is the first of its kind:
Executives of a pharmaceutical distributor
and the distributor itself have been charged
with drug trafficking — trafficking the
same drugs that are fueling the opioid epi-
demic that is ravaging this country, ”
Berman said.

In Las Vegas, the Golden Knights will

The Sharks responded to the bloody injury
to captain Joe Pavelski by scoring four goals

Kyle Lowry scored 14 points as the
Raptors finished off the Magic with ease,
bouncing back from a Game 1 defeat to win
by double-digits in three of the next four.
Toronto led by as many as 37 in the clinch-
er, their biggest-ever margin in a playoff
game.
Leonard made 8 of 11 shots, including 5
of 5 from 3-point range, as the Raptors
jumped on Orlando early and never trailed.
Leonard also made all six of his free throws.
He checked out to cheers of “MVP, MVP”
with 8:05 to play and Toronto up 105-75.
“You have to give credit to Jumbo,” Couture
said. “He gathered the guys at the bench and
said you guys go out and get ... three goals
right now. When a guy who has played 20
years orders you around like that, bosses you
around, you have to do it. We got four.”
Martin Jones then appeared ready to seal the
win, robbing Mark Stone with a glove save
with 3:10 to go and Vegas on the power play.
But the Golden Knights didn’t go away and got
the equalizer with Fleury pulled in the final
minute.
William Karlsson, who scored the first
goal, leaped at the blue line to keep a puck in
the zone and then Reilly Smith ended up with
it behind the net where he set up Marchessault
to make it 4-4 and set up overtime. It was the
third-latest tying goal in a Game 7 in NHL his-
tory but it wasn’t enough for Vegas.
“Last year we were in the Stanley Cup finals
and it was tough to lose, tonight was tougher
than that,” coach Gerard Gallant said. “It real-
ly was, the way we lost that hockey game.”
Fourth-liner Goodrow, on his second shift
in the overtime, delivered late in the extra
period. He took a pass from Erik Karlsson and
deking his way past Fleury for the game-win-
ner that set off a wild celebration. The Sharks
became just the second team ever to overcome
a three-goal deficit in the third period of a
Game 7 and win, joining the Boston Bruins,
who did it in 2013 against Toronto.
“To be honest I can’t really remember what
just happened,” Goodrow said. “It was a pretty
surreal moment. Definitely the biggest goal
of my career, obviously.”
Eakin and Max Pacioretty also scored for
Vegas and Fleury made 43 saves.
Jones, who was pulled for ineffectiveness in
two of the first five games, made 34 saves to
close out the series and give the Sharks their
first comeback from 3-1 down in a series in
seven tries.

Heck, some teams struggle to simply

come up with three, two-member teams.
So when do the clubs play?
“Any time you can schedule it,” said
Washington, who also serves as an assis-
tant on the Tigers’ indoor team. “Sometimes
it’s during the week. Sometimes it’s who’s
available to play when.”
Don’t confuse a casual atmosphere with a
lack of competitiveness. Once the players
get on the courts, their will to win comes to
the fore. It was most evident when NDB No.
1 team of Kelly Schakel and Ellie Muscat
found themselves trailing the Menlo team
of Abby Holleran and Emma Holland 24-18
in the first-to-28 game.
The NDB duo closed to 25-24 and tied it at
25-all on a Schakel kill. Muscat then post-
ed a service winner to give NDB a 26-25
lead, but a Holland kill off a Tigers’ dig tied
the match at 26.
But a Schakel kill, followed by a Muscat
kill off the sideline tape gave the Tigers the
victory.
Menlo won the team match, however, as
the No. 2 team of Sharon Nejad and Simone
Adam, and the No. 3 tandem of Alli
McKenney and Cami Israelski won their
matches over NDB’s Shea Wakasa and Ellie
Pope, and Emma Baumgarten and Sophia
Rangel, respectively.
Schakel said she uses the beach game to
complement her indoor play. In fact, she
was heading to club practice following her
session in the sand.
“Indoor is what I want to go to college
for,” Schakel said. “[The beach game] really
helps. I get extra passes and touches. …
There have been some tough times (balanc-
ing the indoor and outdoor game), but I real-
ize I love the sport.”
Muscat, who played both inside and out-
side up until this season, has transitioned to
the beach game exclusively.
“I played beach for fun over the summer
and I just realized it was superior (to the
indoor game). You just play a lot more.
Transitioning over (from indoor to beach)
is kind of learning a whole new sport.”
Muscat also realized that excelling in the
beach game is another avenue to playing
the sport in college, which is really starting
to take hold across the country. Muscat’s
teammate, Kendall Peters, for example, is
committed to play beach volleyball at
Tulane University next year.
“Since beach is such a new sport (at the
collegiate level), there’s a lot of opportuni-
ties, ” Muscat said. “There’s more of a
chance of finding a spot (in a college pro-
gram).”
The NDB team is the most involved team
in the NCVB league. Tuesday’s matches were
the 17th and 18th on the season for the
Tigers and with Tuesday’s loss to Menlo,
fell to 12-5 on the season. That record, cou-
pled with the points they have earned for
wins, has the Tigers sitting in first place
and give them the highest seeds in the
league tournament.
For Menlo and Nueva schools, however,
this was their first seasons playing in the
sand. The Knights were playing in their
seventh and eighth matches of the season,
while Nueva was playing just their fourth
match of the season.

put a price on that. I would just say they
were both in big spots for us today.”
It was indeed a back-and-forth game that saw
San Mateo lead twice in the early innings
— 5-3 at the middle of the second inning, and
again 6-5 in the middle of the third.
In the bottom of the fourth, though, Singler
took over. He drilled a two-run blast to
straightaway center to give Sequoia a 7-6 lead.
Then after catcher JP Boyle ripped a solo
homer in the bottom of the fifth to give the
Ravens some breathing room, Singler went
bombs away for his second jack of the day, a
towering solo shot to left field to ignite a
three-run rally in the sixth.
“I just try to do my job,” Singler said, “just
try to take team at-bats just to win games,
because the main goal is just to get to CCS and
this was a pretty big game for that.”
Heated race for postseason
The race to reach the Central Coast Section
playoffs is heating up in the Peninsula
Athletic League Ocean Division, with every-
one who isn’t first-place Aragon essentially
playing for their lives.
With the league receiving only two guaran-
teed CCS postseason bids, and the third-place
finisher earning a shot with a play-in game
against the PAL Lake Division champion,
anyone looking up at those three teams come
the end of the regular season are going to be
doing so from the proverbial couch.
Tuesday was do-or-die time for Sequoia (5-4
PAL Ocean, 8-11 overall) and San Mateo (4-5,
10-10). The two teams entered tied for fifth
place. With the win, the Ravens take sole pos-
session of fifth, yet they are just one game out
of second place. Half Moon Bay, Woodside

and Menlo-Atherton are tied for second place,
each at 6-3 in league. First-place Aragon
—  now looking over its shoulder after
Tuesday’s 8-0 loss to Half Moon Bay —  is
hanging on at 7-2.
“Huge game,” San Mateo manager Neil
Goldstein said of Tuesday’s loss. The Bearcats
have five games left on their regular-season
schedule.
“If we don’t win them all, we’re out,”
Goldstein said. “Even (if we) win them all, we
might be out.”
Sequoia, also with five games remaining,
isn’t allowing itself nearly as much foresight.
“We’re not good enough to look down the
road that far,” Uhalde said. “We’ve got to kind
of do it one game at a time. I know how cliché
it is. But we just put ourselves in a spot where,
every game we play is now the most impor-
tant game of the year. So, it was really great to
see these guys step up in what was our biggest
game of the year. And now we have another
biggest game of the year of Thursday.”
Singler shines on mound too
The Ravens are certainly hoping to ride the
momentum provided by Singler’s perfor-
mance Tuesday.
t

Not only was the day’s home run count at
two, and five on the season, for “Big” Ben —
the sophomore is 6-1, 265 pounds — he also
finished out the game with 1 2/3 innings of
relief to earn the save.
He entered the game with two on and one
out in relief of senior right-hander Alejandro
Palomarez, who worked 2 2/3 innings in
relief to notch the win. He then immediately
defied his big frame to get the second out of
the inning, dancing over to first base on a
slow grounder to the right side of the infield.
The first baseman attempted to field it but had
the ball go under his glove, but second base-
man Adam Trujillo ranged over to scoop it up
then throw a perfect feed to Singler covering
the bag.
Singler went on to end the threat with a
strikeout. In the seventh, the first two San
Mateo batters reached base when Dane
Anderson singled and Elijah Shih drew walk.
But he went on to retire the next three batters
in order to end it.
“It was kind of stressful,” Singler said. “But
my coach came out and calmed me down a lit-
tle bit. … I kind of just knew in my head that I
needed to step up and take control of the
game.”
Runs and more runs early
Sequoia’s three homers defied the tone set in
the early going. Of the Ravens’ eight hits, six
were singles. San Mateo banged out 10 hits;
eight were singles.
Sequoia jumped on San Mateo starting
pitcher Kilmer Sanchez in the first inning for
three runs. But the Bearcats answered back
with five runs in the top of the second by
sending 10 batters to the plate.
Sean Tanap, Antonio Rojas and Angelo
Soto opened the frame with three straight sin-
gles to load the bases. Anderson followed with
a sacrifice fly. Shih then blooped an infield
single into no-man’s land to load them up
again for Jackson Chew, who drilled a two-run
Wednesday • April 24, 2019 15
double off the left-field wall to tie it.
Jack Warren and Sanchez followed with
back-to-back RBI knocks to give San Mateo a
5-3 lead. But the inning ended on an appeal
play after Tanap produced a fly ball to deep
center for the second out of the inning, and an
apparent sacrifice fly to drive home Tommy
Ozawa from third base. But Sequoia appealed
at third, where it was ruled Ozawa left early,
resulting in the third out of the inning.
“I saw him leave early,” said Goldstein, who
was coaching third base for San Mateo. “I
thought it was the right call. It’s a tough call.
But if it was me calling it, he’s out. I saw it.”
Sequoia tied it in the bottom of the second.
Dillon Goetz and Nolan Doyle led off with
back-to-back singles, followed by two straight
sacrifice flies by Max McLellan and Trujillo.
The Bearcats knocked out Doyle, Sequoia’s
starting pitcher, in the third, manufacturing a
run after a single by Rojas and walk by Soto.
Anderson followed with a sacrifice bunt to set
up a sacrifice fly by Shih, ending Doyle’s day.
Stellar defense
San Mateo added a run in the sixth on an RBI
double by Sanchez, but some serious defen-
sive gems wrestled the small-ball approach
into submission.
Sequoia center fielder Davin Leathers made
an outstanding running catch to end the fifth,
amid a 6-5 Ravens’ lead, with runners on sec-
ond and third. Ozawa repaid the favor in center
for San Mateo with a rangy all-out dive into
right-center to rob McLellan of extra bases to
start the sixth.
But the play of the day came from Nolasco
in right field for Sequoia, who took on the
right field fence with an 8-7 Ravens lead hang-
ing in the balance, to rob Warren of extra
bases in the sixth.
Sequoia has now won its last four league
games, and five of its last six.
“If you’ve got to pick a time to peak, I guess
I’ll take now,” Uhalde said.

In a letter to energy commission chair-
man David Hochschild, Newsom defended
the state’s environmental standards, accus-
ing critics of using the high prices to
“undermine our clean air and safety stan-
dards.”
“Independent analysis suggests that an
unaccounted-for price differential exists in
California’s gas prices and that this price
differential may stem in part from inappro-

California has the highest average gas
price in the country, well above the nation-

tax is second highest in the country at

gas tax will increase by $.056 per gallon to
a rate of $0.473 per gallon.
Blasky said Hawaii usually sees higher
average gas prices per gallon than
California but, within the last month or so,
California’s average gas price is 50 cents
higher. 
Blasky said prices have leveled off in
California over the last few days after going
up 5 cents a day for three weeks in a row.  
“Hopefully we’re hitting peak,” he said.

As gas prices kept climbing, 19 state law-

Xavier Becerra to investigate the “unex-

“This mystery surcharge happens between
the refinery and retail purchase by the con-
sumer, ” Democratic Assemblyman Marc
Levine said. “This is a punitive, abusive
practice that Californians are paying.”
But it’s unclear if Becerra’s office took
any action. Representatives from his office

Brothers sue Jussie Smollett’s
lawyers, claiming defamation
By Michael Tarm
and Caryn Rousseau
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — Two brothers who say
they helped Jussie Smollett stage a
racist and homophobic attack against
himself sued the “Empire” actor’s attor-
neys on Tuesday, accusing them of
defamation by continuing to insist
publicly that the brothers carried out a
real, bigoted attack on Smollett despite
knowing that wasn’t true.
Abimbola “Abel” Osundairo and
Olabinjo “Ola” Osundairo said in a joint
statement issued after their lawsuit was
filed in federal court in Chicago that
Smollett’s legal team has spread false
accusations that have hurt their reputa-
tions and undermined their career
prospects.
“We have sat back and watched lie
after lie being fabricated about us in the
media only so one big lie can continue
RULES
Continued from page 1
dalism suspect Stephon Clark in
Sacramento last year inspired the latter.
“To look at these two bills together
is a powerful, powerful combination,
from my perspective,” said Democratic
Sen. Holly Mitchell of Los Angeles.
The move aims to force negotiations
between the sides by combining the
most progressive elements of each
plan. It also may mean no changes will
ultimately become law for the second
consecutive year, unless the sides can
reach agreement on a contentious and
highly emotional issue.
“We want to be able to make some
change, and it has to be substantive
change,” said Democratic Sen. Anna
Caballero of Salinas, who is sponsor-
ing the police-backed legislation.
If the reformer-backed portion fails,
“then it all disappears, ” Caballero
said. “And so what this does is it keeps
everybody at the table, negotiating in
good faith, trying to work towards a
solution.”
The police-backed measure would set
a national precedent by creating
statewide guidelines on when officers
can use lethal force and requiring that
every officer be trained in ways to
avoid opening fire.
As part of the compromise effort,
Caballero stripped her proposal of a
section to enshrine in law current
standards that let officers kill if they
reasonably believe they or others are
to have life,” they
said. “These lies are
destroying our char-
acter and reputation
in our personal and
professional lives.”
In their lawsuit,
the Osundairos con-
tend that even after
Jussie Smollett prosecutors dropped
the charges against
Smollett while simultaneously saying
they could prove the attack was a hoax,
Smollett’s attorneys kept saying in
interviews that the Chicago-born
brothers “led a criminally homopho-
bic, racist and violent attack against
Mr. Smollett.”
“Mr. Smollett’s attorneys, faced with
an outraged public, did not retreat after
their success (in getting charges
dropped). Instead, they doubled down,”
states the lawsuit, which names celebri-
ty attorney Mark Geragos, fellow
in imminent danger.
Since that standard has been set by
the courts, it would remain if no com-
promise is reached.
“We clearly have ... many, many,
many people up and down the state,
and experts, who feel that California’s
use-of-force standard should be
revised,” said Sen. Nancy Skinner, a
Democrat from Berkeley who chairs
the Senate public safety committee and
engineered the surprise development
to combine the measures.
She said she hopes the committee’s
move will lead to compromise after
listening to dozens of opponents of
the original police-backed legislation
describe their loved ones’ deaths in
confrontations with police.
They included Theresa Smith,
founder of the Law Enforcement
Accountability Network, whose son,
Caesar Ray Cruz, was killed by
Anaheim police nearly a decade ago.
Police were told that the 35-year-old
had a gun, and one was found in his
vehicle, but he was unarmed when they
opened fire in a Walmart parking lot.
“He left behind five boys, who are
now having to grow up without their
father, not having him there for their
birthday or Christmas,” she said, her
voice cracking. “Police officers
shouldn’t be shooting people if
they’re not in imminent danger.”
Democratic Assemblywoman
Shirley Weber of San Diego, who pro-
posed the tougher restrictions on
police, has not yet sat down with law
enforcement negotiators, said her
spokesman, Joe Kocurek.
Weber praised the Senate action,

lawyer Tina Glandian and Geragos’ Los
Angeles-based law firm as defendants.
In a joint statement, Geragos and
Glandian called the lawsuit “ridiculous”
and “a desperate attempt” by the broth-
ers “to stay relevant and further profit
from an attack they admit they perpe-
trated.”
“We look forward to exposing the
fraud the Osundairo brothers and their
attorneys have committed on the pub-
lic,” they added.
The odds may be against the brothers
prevailing in court.
Legal experts say that, in the U.S.
adversarial system, attorneys are
accorded broad protections from law-
suits based on things they say while
defending their clients — even if what
they say is mean-spirited or false.
“If my client informs me he didn’t do
it and I say that publicly ... that’s part
of our job as lawyers,” said Jeffrey
Granich, a Chicago attorney.
saying in a statement that it “means
that the families who have lost loved
ones to police violence have been
heard, that their loss matters and that
they deserve real change.”
Law enforcement leaders said the
proposal they support incorporates
best practices from around the country.
It would require officers to provide
medical help to injured suspects and to
report and stop any excessive force
they see used by other officers.
The training includes how to better
respond to mental health crises, which
Protect California president Robert
Harris said account for nearly 25% of
all fatal officer-involved shootings.
Law enforcement groups formed the
nonprofit to promote their alternative
to changing the legal standard for
using force.
The legislation “will set a national
precedent by establishing the most
comprehensive legislative solution to
one of the most critical issues facing
America today,” said Brian Marvel,
president of Peace Officers Research
Association of California.
Democratic Sen. Steven Bradford of
Compton wasn’t persuaded either plan
would make much difference but voted
for the measure as it cleared the com-
mittee with unanimous bipartisan sup-
port.
“We’re dealing with a racist society,
and we want to hide behind all these
other laws and anything else,” he said.
“This is straight about race, and all the
training in the world — unless you
change your heart and your mind —
will not have any effect on how our
policing happens in this country.”

they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted

thority.

tion, you should appear at the hearing

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-

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-

9052 of the California Probate Code.Oth-
er California statutes and legal authority
may affect your rights as a creditor. You

notiCe of petition to
AdMiniSter eStAte of
Angel Yuenman Lam aka Angel Lam
Case Number: 19-PRO-00485
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of Angel Yuenman Lam aka
Angel Lam. A Petition for Probate has
been filed by William Wai Nang Tsui in
the Superior Court of California, County
of San Mateo. The Petition for Probate
requests that William Wai Nang Tsui 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 au-
thority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: MAY 31 2019 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. , Superior Court of Cali-
fornia, 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 section
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
knowledgeable 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.

CHARTER
Continued from page 1
and also proposed establishing a temporary moratorium on
launching new ones, which will be heard by the education
committee Wednesday, April 24.
The proposed legislation is backed enthusiastically by
state teaching unions and lays bare the polarization of
school choice politics — an issue growing increasingly
influential across the state among educators and lawmakers
alike.
As evidenced in the most recent general election, posi-
tions on charter school policy was a determining factor in
the victory of state Superintendent Tony Thurmond over
school choice champion Marshall Tuck.
Perhaps looking to seize the momentum established by
Thurmond’s win, state senators Maria Elena Durazo, D-Los
Angeles, and Nancy Skinner, D-Berkeley, as well as assem-
blymen Patrick O’Donnell, D-Long Beach, Rob Bonta, D-
Oakland, and Kevin McCarty, D-Sacramento, released a
package of policies targeting charter growth and gover-
nance.
Most notable among the proposals was Durazo’s Senate
Bill 756, that aims to establish a five-year moratorium on
new charter schools, which she claims is needed to grant
time for decision makers to craft more thoughtful policies.
“SB 756 calls for a pause until some flaws in the law can
be fixed. That’s why this is so important for our communi-
ties and for our future,” she said in a prepared statement
regarding the proposal which is slated to be heard
Wednesday, April 24, in the Senate Education Committee.
Some of those amendments are raised in the proposals
form Durazo’s fellow lawmakers, such as an effort to grant
local school districts greater influence when authorizing
and governing charters.
Dennis McBride, president of the Redwood City
Elementary School District Board of Trustees, said he con-
sidered the nuanced approach more appropriate for regulat-
ing charter schools.
“It’s very complicated. On one hand, it’s created a huge

financial problem for our district. But on the other, parents
in Redwood City that send their kids to charters really like
them. Just like there are parents who send their kids to our
schools and love them,” he said.
Regarding the financial issues associated with charters,
McBride’s district recently decided to overhaul its composi-
tion and close campuses due to dwindling student enroll-
ment numbers.
As charter schools have grown in popularity among the
Redwood City community, money allocated according to
average daily attendance by the state is taken away from the
school district.
When deciding to shutter schools, charters drawing stu-
dents away from the district was frequently cited by
Redwood City officials as a key financial hurdle which ulti-
mately proved too difficult to overcome.
Yet despite the challenges posed to the district, McBride
stopped short of advocating for disallowing establishment
of new charters.
“I don’t think you want to stop charters that are doing a
good job,” he said.
He bolstered his broad perspective by suggesting there is
value in offering school communities the choice valued by
so many parents and families across the state.
“It has created havoc for us, and we’ve had to close
schools. But if you believe in choice for parents, then char-
ters can be an option,” he said.
Instead of a potential moratorium, McBride suggested a
more measured approach to regulation may be in order, sim-
ilar to the push for granting local officials greater oversight
in managing charters.
Wednesday • April 24, 2019 27
The California School Board Association shared a similar
position, according to legislative advocate Carlos
Machado, who said his organization supports most of the
slate’s supplementary proposals but not the moratorium.
Rather than seeking to ban charter establishment, even
temporarily, Machado suggested refinement of the existing
policy is due to keep current with a climate evolved since
the initial movement in favor of school choice.
“It’s not about trying to close charters. They are here to
stay. Instead, let’s try to find a way to improve the system,”
said Machado.
The California Teachers Association more enthusiastical-
ly advocates for the moratorium, hosting on its website
material which parents could use in their arguments to per-
suade officials to support the temporary ban.
The California Charter School Association, meanwhile,
maintains an alternative position, claiming the moratorium
would harm the quality of education throughout the state.
“These bills would create an effective moratorium on char-
ter public schools by removing appeal rights, severely lim-
iting new schools, and allowing school districts to close
successful schools that are serving hundreds of thousands of
students statewide for any reason. Charter schools are not
the problem, we are part of the solution,” said a prepared
statement from the association.
To find a middle ground, Machado said his organization is
seeking a careful balance between reform and reserving the
rights for those favoring school choice.
“School choice is important but it’s got to make sense for
the school districts and all students in the districts,” he
said.

Migrants fearful after hundreds arrested in Mexico raid By Mark Stevenson and Sonia Perez D.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TONALA, Mexico — Central American migrants travel-

ing through southern Mexico toward the U.S. on Tuesday
fearfully recalled their frantic escape from police the previ-
ous day, scuttling under barbed wire fences into pastures and
then spending the night in the woods after hundreds were
detained in a raid.
In the Chiapas state town of Tonala, migrants flocked to
one of the few places they felt they could be safe — the
local Roman Catholic church — only to start with fear at
the sound of a passing ambulance’s siren.
“There are people still lost up in the woods. The woods
are very dangerous,” said Arturo Hernandez, a sinewy 59-
year-old farmer from Comayagua, Honduras, who fled
through the woods with his grandson. “They waited until we
were resting and fell upon us, grabbing children and
women.”
Mexican immigration authorities said 371 people were
detained Monday in what was the largest single raid so far
on a migrant caravan since the groups started moving
through the country last year.
The once large caravan of about 3,000 people was essen-
tially broken up by the raid, as migrants fled into the hills,

A Central American migrant is detained by immigration officers during a raid on his journey toward the United States. freight trains. A brave few groups straggled along the high-
ways, but with dozens of police and immigration check-
points, they were bound to be caught.
Journalists from the Associated Press saw police target
isolated groups at the tail end of the caravan near Pijijiapan
Monday, wrestling migrants into police vehicles for trans-
port and presumably deportation as children wailed.
Now terrified of walking exposed on the highways, some
turned in desperation to a tactic that used to be a popular
way north, clambering aboard a passing freight train bound
for the neighboring state of Tabasco. It’s been years since
migrants hopped trains in large numbers.
Javier Nunez, a 25-year-old Honduran, said he and his
family walked through the hills, along a river and by some
train tracks after Monday’s raid before venturing into the
town of Pijijiapan to find something to eat.
