San Bruno considers Crestmoor development
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
San Bruno city officials will receive their
initial opportunity to weigh the local high
school district’s interest in redeveloping a
portion of a former campus into a new resi-
dential project.
The San Bruno Planning Commission
will examine Tuesday, May 7, the San
Mateo Union High School District’s vision
for converting the former Crestmoor High
School into a residential development.
The project is proposed by school offi-
cials who are seeking to sell a portion of the
40-acre campus to finance construction of
housing for teachers struggling to afford the
cost of living locally.
School officials recently approved declar-
ing the property as surplus land, which is a
pivotal step in the potential process of sell-
ing or leasing the site. The issue now falls
to city officials, who will consider the
development’s fit with San Bruno’s zoning
policy.
At the upcoming meeting, planning com-
missioners are tasked with determining
whether the proposal for the school at 300
Piedmont Ave. conforms with the city’s
general plan.
The campus is currently occupied by the
district’s continuation school, which is
expected to move to Burlingame soon. Once
the campus is vacated, officials are looking
for new ways to leverage the campus which
was last used as comprehensive school in
1980. Officials have considered selling the
school property to a residential developer
to pay for construction of the affordable
teacher housing, though details of the pro-
posal are still being refined. District offi-
cials are also exploring the idea of teacher
housing at Mills High School in Millbrae.
Initial indications from city staff are that
the site is suitable for residential develop-
ment, as it could accommodate the commu-
nity’s need for additional housing units as

well as other benefits, according to a city
report.
“Though no particular use is guaranteed or
anticipated, the sale or lease of this surplus
school site would provide opportunities for
housing development in San Bruno to meet
its regional housing needs, be developed as
open space for San Bruno residents, and/or
be developed for recreation, education or
other community needs,” according to the
report.
Regarding the anticipated open space
which could be offered at the site, school
officials have expressed a willingness to
preserve the community soccer fields at the
site should the residential development ulti-
mately move ahead.
To make the project feasible according to
the city’s development standards, school
officials have examined low-density devel-
opment, which would align with the sur-
rounding neighborhood comprised of pri-
marily single-family homes.
Should the project move ahead, city
staffers are recommending school officials
also work with affordable housing develop-
ers to assure some of the units are offered at
a below-market rate.
In initial discussions of the district’s
vision, officials have said teacher housing
financed by the project would be kept
affordable, to develop a talent retention and
attraction mechanism for the school sys-
tem.
Previous surveys of district staff showed
many teachers are concerned with the cost
of living locally and many of those who
live elsewhere face long, burdensome com-
mutes to work each day.
High school district officials have largely
modeled their proposal for teacher housing

out the county.
As it relates, the community college dis-

Bruno officials to develop more teacher
housing on the Skyline College campus.

District officials are also considering sell-
ing old surplus property which could be
redeveloped into additional housing as
well, according to the report.
As it relates to the process ahead, the city
report notes a separate and more thorough
environmental review is anticipated should
the property be sold. School officials have
yet to make a final decision on the fate of
the property.
But going into the upcoming meeting,
city staff indicates the initial proposal for
the site is in alignment with the expected
development standards for the area.
In other business at the meeting, commis-
sioners will also discuss proposed street
improvements to San Mateo Avenue in
downtown San Bruno. Officials are expected
to focus on input received during a commu-
nity outreach campaign seeking input on
ways to beautify the core commercial dis-
trict.
Recommendations led to designs of parks
and plazas, new signs, paseo construction
and other infrastructure fixes as well as ways
to improve the character of the street.

Police are on the lookout for a man who exposed himself
to two girls on the 800 block of Mosswood Lane in
Millbrae Sunday night.
At approximately 6:42 p.m., the San Mateo County
Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to the location on the
report of a black male adult in his mid-30s, with facial hair
and wearing a black hot, T-shirt and green sweatpants driv-
ing an older silver car on the street when he pulled over
across the street from two girls, got out, pulled his pants
down and exposed himself. He then got back into his car,
made a U-turn and drove toward them. The two girls ran
toward a nearby residence to alert an adult, according to the

The man drove away and deputies were unable to locate
him, according to the Sheriff’s Office.

Witness dies before testifying
in fatal warehouse fire trial
OAKLAND — A key witness scheduled to testify this
week in the involuntary manslaughter trial involving a
Northern California warehouse fire that killed 36 people
has died in a car crash, prosecutors told a judge Monday.
Alameda County prosecutors had planned to call Robert
Jacobitz to testify this week in the trial of Derick Almena
and Max Harris, each charged with 36 counts of involuntary
manslaughter in connection with the Dec. 2, 2016, fire in
an Oakland warehouse during an unpermitted music concert.
Prosecutors say they turned the warehouse into an unsafe
entertainment venue and residence.
Alameda County deputy district attorney Casey Bates told
jurors last week that Jacobitz was an unlicensed contractor
who performed inexpensive work at the warehouse soon
after Almena rented it in November 2013.
Prosecutors allege that Almena, 49, stuffed it full of high-
ly flammable furniture, pianos and other material and failed
to provide smoke detectors, fire alarms, sprinklers and
other required safety equipment. Prosecutors say Harris, 29,
helped Almena convert the warehouse, collect rent and
schedule concerts.

San Bruno man behind bars
for alleged rape and peeping
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A 29-year-old San Bruno man is
behind bars on $1.2 million bail after
he was arrested Friday on accusations
he sexually assaulted a developmental-
ly disabled woman in August and
peeped into the home of another
woman less than a mile away Aug. 28
and Sept. 6, according to the San
Mateo County District Attorney’s
Office.
In his first court appearance
Monday, Shon Chow did not enter a
plea to seven felony and two misde-
meanor charges alleging he raped and
orally copulated a 26-year-old woman
with developmental disabilities and
peeped into the home of a 23-year-old
woman, according to prosecutors.
Chow is said to have approached the
26-year-old at a bus stop as she was
waiting for the bus to take her to an
adult school Aug. 18. He allegedly told
her she was beautiful and asked her sev-
eral questions, causing her to miss the
bus. Chow allegedly accompanied her
on her walk home from the bus stop
and, when he indicated he wanted to
come into her apartment, she said no
because he was a stranger and she did-

Red-legged frogs thriving in Yosemite after long absence
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK — Red-
legged frogs made famous by Mark
Twain are thriving in Yosemite Valley
after a decades-long absence.
Ecologists this spring found clusters
of eggs in meadows and ponds, proof of
the first breeding by the frogs in
Yosemite since 2017, when adult red-
legged frogs were reintroduced after a
50-year absence, Yosemite National
Park Superintendent Mike Reynolds
said Monday. “It’s unusual to find eggs
in any location and to find them this
soon is a strong indication that red-
legged frogs are adapting successfully
to the riparian areas where we reintro-
duced them,” Reynolds said.
The California red-legged frog is

Chow allegedly
told her his name
and went into her
home. He allegedly
started kissing the
woman and when
she asked him why
he was doing that,
he allegedly said
Shon Chow
this is how he
showed his love for her and orally cop-
ulated and digitally penetrated her mul-
tiple times. Chow is said to have left a
fake phone number with her and told
her they are now girlfriend and
boyfriend before leaving the apart-
ment, according to prosecutors.
On Aug. 25, Chow allegedly returned
to the woman’s home uninvited and
had sexual intercourse with her,
according to prosecutors.
About a week after the second inci-
dent, the woman told her father she had
a boyfriend and what Chow allegedly
did to her, and her family called her
social worker, who reported the inci-
dents to police, according to prosecu-
tors.
In an apparently unrelated incident,
Chow was allegedly caught on the
named for its colorful legs and belly. It
was featured in Twain’s short story “The
Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras
County.” The frog disappeared from
Yosemite in part because non-native,
predatory bullfrogs first introduced to a
reflection pond spread throughout the
valley and, over time, gobbled them up.
The insatiable bullfrogs have been
eradicated from the park, clearing the
way for the red-legged frog’s return.
The amphibians were reintroduced in
Yosemite National Park under a partner-
ship with federal and state agencies, the
Yosemite Conservancy and the San
Francisco Zoo & Gardens, where thou-
sands tadpoles and adult frogs are being
bred for release in the park 200 miles
(320 kilometers) away.

assaulted her, and the woman allegedly
positively identified Chow from a
lineup, according to prosecutors.
Prosecutors said cellphone records
showed Chow was within the vicinity
of the 26-year-old victim’s home Aug.
25. A warrant for his arrest was issued
Thursday and Chow was allegedly
arrested in San Bruno Friday, according
to prosecutors.
Chow allegedly has two prior con-

bathroom windows of unsuspecting
females, according to the San Mateo

Cohen heads to prison in Trump hush-money scheme

By Michael R. Sisak and Jim Mustian
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Michael Cohen took a last
swipe at President Donald Trump while
reporting to federal prison Monday to start a
three-year sentence for crimes including tax
evasion and campaign finance violations
related to hush-money payments made to
protect his former boss.
Cohen, who turned on Trump last summer
after a decade as his personal lawyer, fixer
and “take a bullet” loyalist, didn’t mention
the president by name, but he left little
doubt about whom he blamed for his incar-
ceration.
“I hope that when I rejoin my family and
friends that the country will be in a place
without xenophobia, injustice and lies at the
helm of our country,” Cohen told reporters
outside his Manhattan apartment. “There
still remains much to be told, and I look for-
ward to the day where I can share the truth.”
Cohen, 52, then stumbled through a crush
of media, ignoring shouted questions, and
got into a waiting Cadillac Escalade, which
drove him to jail 70 miles (115 kilometers)

Institution, Otisville, at around 11:45 a.m.,
more than two hours before a court-imposed
deadline.
The prison has a minimum-security camp
that’s become known for the white collar
criminals it houses and the amenities —
including tennis courts, bocce ball and
rugelach in the commissary — that it affords
them.
Cohen — officially Inmate No. 86067-
054 — took off the blue blazer he wore on
the ride up and left it with his driver before
walking into prison, where he was to be pro-
vided with a khaki uniform.
The U.S. Bureau of Prisons confirmed
Cohen was in its custody but declined to pro-
vide details of his confinement, citing pri-
vacy and security rules.
At Otisville, officials took extra measures
to deal with the intense media interest in
Cohen’s arrival. They put up concrete barri-
ers along the two-lane road leading to the
facility and deployed cones and caution tape
to keep about two dozen reporters and pho-
tographers from getting too close.
Cohen had fought to delay or reduce his
sentence but failed in a last-ditch effort to
convince federal prosecutors that his coop-
eration in various investigations related to
Trump warranted leniency.

Treasury denies Democrats’
request for Trump tax returns
By Andrew Taylor and Jonathan Lemire

WASHINGTON — Treasury Secretary
Steven Mnuchin has made it official: The
administration won’t be turning President
Donald Trump’s tax returns over to the

Mnuchin told Ways and Means Committee

In making that determination, Mnuchin

Mideast, citing Iran threats

By Lolita Baldor and Zeke Miller
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The U.S. is sending an
aircraft carrier group to the Middle East
ahead of schedule and warning that Iran and
its proxy forces are showing “troubling and
escalatory” indications of a possible attack
on American forces in the region.
Exactly what prompted the action was
unclear, but it marked a further step in
sharply rising tensions between the Trump
administration and the Islamic Republic.
National security adviser John Bolton
said Sunday night the U.S. was deploying
the USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike
Group and a bomber task force to the Middle
East, intending to send a message that
“unrelenting force” will meet any attack on
American forces or allies.
“The United States is not seeking war

Harry and Meghan love story takes new turn: A baby boy
By Gregory Katz
and Mstyslav Chernov
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WINDSOR, England — The improba-
ble love story between an American
actress and a British royal took the best
of all possible turns Monday with the
arrival of a healthy baby boy.
The as-yet-unnamed baby arrived less
than a year after Prince Harry wed
Meghan Markle in a spectacular tele-
vised event on the grounds of Windsor
REUTERS Castle that was watched the world over.
Britain’s Prince Harry addresses the media after his wife Meghan is now the Duchess of
Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, gave birth to their firstborn son, Sussex, but she still does things her
outside Windsor in London. own way: The couple bucked royal tradi-
tion by declining to say where the baby
was born and opting not to come out to
pose with the newborn just hours after
the birth. Instead, an obviously over-
joyed Harry emerged to tell the world —
via its waiting TV cameras — that a
baby had been born. It marked a
moment the nation is likely to remem-
ber as a once-troubled boy undone by
the death of his mother Princess Diana
in 1997 car crash seemed giddy in his
embrace of fatherhood.
“This little thing is absolutely to die
for,” the ginger-haired, bearded prince
said. “I’m just over the moon.”
The baby weighed 7 pounds, 3 ounces
(3.26 kilograms) at birth and was born
at 5:26 a.m. (0426 GMT; 12:26 a.m.
EDT). Harry said their son was a little
bit overdue and that had given the royal
couple more time to contemplate
names. Harry promised that more details
— such as the baby’s name — will be
shared in the coming days.
Harry and the palace didn’t immediate-
ly provide details on whether the baby
was born at a hospital or if it was a home
birth. The royal couple had earlier said
they wanted to keep details private.
The infant is seventh in line to the
British throne and is the eighth great-
grandchild of 93-year-old Queen
Elizabeth II, Britain’s longest reigning
monarch.

Letters to the editor
Bikes and scooters
Editor:
I want to echo writer  Emitt
Wallace’s concerns (letter to the edi-
tor “Bikes, scooters and pedestrians”
in the May 4-5 edition of the Daily
Journal). Our narrow San Mateo
downtown sidewalks, made narrower
by the perennial presence of garbage
cans, planters, newspaper
racks, parking meters and signs, do
not have room left for bikes or scoot-
ers. While I have seen bikers riding
on sidewalks at excess speed, you can
be sure that when scooters are intro-
duced, their presence on sidewalks
would rapidly increase, creating a
hazardous situation we would be bet-
ter off addressing right now.  
Senior citizens losing their driving
privileges and parents pushing
strollers should be concerned about
their physical safety while walking
downtown streets.

Revisiting district elections
Editor,
It has been more than eight years
since San Mateo County was sued to
change our existing at-large voting
system to district elections when vot-
ing for our five county supervisors.
By going to district elections, imme-
diately each county voter lost 80% of
their voting power by reducing our
ability to vote for just one supervisor
instead of all five. My concern at the
time was that just like in San
Francisco, district politics would be
divisive, racially tinged and filled
with the self-interests of the various
districts rather than concern for the
entire county.    and calls for lawful accountability
Well, let’s see how it’s been going.
The first San Mateo County supervi-
sor elected through a district election
was Supervisor David Canepa. What
has Mr. Canepa’s agenda been for our
county? First of all, Supervisor
Canepa has attempted to make it
appear that the privately-owned Seton
Medical Center in his district is the
fiscal responsibility of the entire
county. Second, his role in the
Association of Bay Area
Governments and by extension his
support of Assembly Bill 50 show he
does not hold the same values as a
majority of county voters. Third and
most recent, he now wants San Mateo
County taxpayers to pick up the tab
for free college education which will
benefit Skyline College in his dis-
trict.
As predicted, district elections have
given us a supervisor who cares only
for his district, his liberal con-

No one is above the law
Editor,
One can agree with letter writer
L.R. Hugdahl’s admonition for
Congress to do its job (as posited in
SMDJ April 27 edition), but not
accept the conclusions. When Donald
Trump took his singular oath of
office, he swore to preserve, protect
and defend the Constitution. Inherent
in the oath is the duty to protect
against enemies foreign and domes-
tic.
The Mueller report made it clear the
Russians meddled in our 2016 elec-
tion, with Donald Trump obstructing
justice related to it at least 10 times,
thus violating his oath of office.
Mueller made it clear Congress should
be the body to prosecute. Congress is
thus duty bound to do its constitu-
tional duty to begin impeachment
proceedings.
Many Democrats have accused
Republicans of placing party above
country but now the shoe is on the
other foot. Democrats must place
country above party in the impeach-
ment process to show no one, not
even the president, is above the law.
Our constitution, and conversely the
country, will only be stronger by
sticking to the mandated process.

Got water?
W
hile I was on the San Carlos City Council,
the city was sued by Baykeeper because they
had found we had nearly a hundred sewage
spills in 2007, as well as poor performances in 2005 and
2006. The spills were more than they deemed acceptable
and the city was forced to pay a fine and spend millions
to make corrective measures. Truthfully, it was San
the price when they saw their rates increase over the next
three years. While it was a painful process to work
through, by 2017 San Carlos suffered only one minor
sewage spill.
Currently in San Francisco, there is a different but sim-
ilar problem with sewage. It is caused by human waste in
the streets. Easily found online is a map of the city
showing all the reported locations where human feces
has been found on the sidewalk or in the streets in the
last eight years. The reported cases total 118,000. To
date, I have not heard of
Baykeeper bringing a case
against the city and county of
San Francisco but I can imagine
how this has ill effect on the
Bay’s health.
This past winter, we had
levels in the Sierras. The snow-
pack reached its peak on March
31 and is the fifth largest ever
recorded for the state. Statewide
average when measured just
recently was 31 inches of
snow-water equivalent. That is
Matt Grocott
144% of average for this time of year. One might think
this would be a great boost to providing water for the
state in future years of drought. If we were not using so
much of the water to flush the Bay, it would be a great
deal true. However, since February, a year’s supply of
water for more than a million people has washed into the
ocean ever day, never benefiting a home, a business, a
farm or a ranch.
housing crisis, I mentioned how the state engineered
itself out of a water shortage that was caused by a spike
in her growing population. Some love to hate the solu-
tion but it was an engineering marvel that has beautiful-
ly served the state for 85 years. The solution, of course,
was the construction of the O’Shaughnessy Dam, creat-
ing the reservoir of the Hetch Hetchy water storage and
delivery system, from where we on the Peninsula derive
all of our fresh water.
One may ask: “What has California done lately to
increase its storage of fresh water?” The answer would
be, for the past 40 years, next to nothing. No new dams
and no new reservoirs have been built. In fact, the last
major reservoir California saw constructed was on the
Stanislaus River in Calaveras County. New Melones
Lake is a man-made reservoir constructed by the Army
Corps of Engineers and completed in 1979. Since then,
California’s population has increased nearly 100%. It’s
as though we invited in everyone living in Washington,
Oregon, Nevada, Idaho, Wyoming and Montana … and
still there’d be room to invite in half the state of
Arizona.
To its credit, in September of last year, the federal gov-
ernment began preliminary work to add 18.5 feet of
ed, capacity of the lake will be increased by 14 percent
or 630,000 acre-feet of water. However, compared to the
amount of water flushed through the Bay and out to the
Pacific, it is not nearly enough of an increase. More than
5 million acre-feet of water a year is taken away from
cities and farms south of the delta to increase flows of
freshwater through the Bay and out to the ocean. Of
course, what we typically hear is the need for increased
flow to produce a rebound of endangered fish. What we do
not hear is that the fresh water flows are needed to wash
out the high levels of ammonia and toxic sludge from the
delta cesspool in which the fish are struggling to sur-
vive.
Irony of ironies to this issue may be that an estimated
90 percent of the ammonia load that needs flushing
comes from one source: the Sacramento Regional
Wastewater Treatment Plant. So where our state lawmak-
ers spend most of their time each week is a huge contrib-
utor to the problem. Sacramento could do well to be a lit-
eral example and clean up its act. They would also do
well to concentrate on what the state truly needs, drop
the high-speed rail project and pick up a few projects to
add water storage capacity to our state.

Stocks slide after Trump’s threat to raise tariffs

By Damian J. Troise and Alex Veiga
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Fresh market jitters over the possibility
of an escalation in the costly trade war
between the U.S. and China pulled stocks
broadly lower on Wall Street Monday.
President Donald Trump threatened over
the weekend to raise tariffs on goods import-
ed from China. Trump complained that the
trade talks between the two countries are
moving too slowly.
Stocks slumped early but then gradually
recovered a good portion of the losses, a
sign that investors’ hopes of a trade deal
haven’t dimmed entirely. China remained
committed to sending a delegation to talks
later this week in Washington despite the
Trump threat, and some investors appeared
to conclude that the president’s warning was
just more high-stakes posturing.
However, after the market closed, U.S.
Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer said
that the tariff increases that Trump threat-
ened to impose on China would go into
effect 12:01 a.m. Eastern time Friday. He did
say negotiations would resume Thursday in
Washington.
The ratcheting up of the trade rhetoric
from Washington came after the U.S. and
China sent signals in recent months that
talks on resolving the dispute were pro-
gressing.
Hopes for an accord between the world’s
two largest economies contributed to the big
run-up in stock prices in the U.S. and China
so far this year. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq hit

However, investors have gotten their

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HOUSTON — James Harden and the

Houston Rockets dug out of a 0-2 hole to
even their Western Conference semifinals
series with the Warriors after another game
where they fought, scrapped and held off a
late rally to get a victory.
Harden scored 38 points and the Rockets
got a 112-108 win on Monday night to
even the best-of seven series at 2-2.
“When you’re dealing with these guys, if
you let Klay (Thompson) and Steph (Curry)
run around and shoot 3s you don’t have no
chance,” Harden said. “The only chance we
have is to be in to their bodies and make
every shot that they take contested.”
The Rockets were up by nine before the
Golden State scored the next seven points,
capped by a 3 from Stephen Curry, to get
within 110-108 with 19 seconds left. Harden
made one of two free throws with 11.5 sec-
onds left. Kevin Durant missed a 3 after that.
But the Warriors got the rebound and Curry
also missed a 3-point attempt before Golden
State was forced to foul Chris Paul.
“We got a couple of wide-open looks,”
Durant said. “They just didn’t fall for us.”
Paul made one of two free throws with 2.9
seconds left to secure the victory.
Golden State coach Steve Kerr was asked
about the physical play of the Rockets, who
have several players who are much stockier
than his squad.
“They’ve got a lot of middle linebackers
on that team,” he said. “They’re sturdy and
we’re like volleyball players, long and lean
Andre Iguodala is smothered by Rockets guard Austin Rivers in Game 4 of the second round

... everybody tries to be physical with us
because they should. That’s the best way to

After losing the first two games of the
series on the road, the Rockets head back to
Golden State for Game 5 on Wednesday
night with momentum on their side after
their overtime win in Game 3 before
Monday night’s victory.

DENVER — Gabriel
Landeskog’s first career overtime
playoff goal was a bit complicat-

net and knock it in.
The captain’s reaction right after
was not — a big, toothy grin with

Landeskog scored 2:32 into

the Avalanche beat the San Jose
Sharks 4-3 on Monday night to
force a decisive Game 7 in their
Western Conference semifinal
series.
“To do that, on home ice, it’s
very exciting,” Landeskog said. “I
haven’t been happy with my
offensive output this time of year.
I haven’t been dangerous enough.”
He was certainly a danger on the
final play. Landeskog charged
after a puck he banged into the
zone and then hit Erik Karlsson
with enough force to knock off the
Sharks defenseman’s helmet.
Landeskog got back up, took the
pass from rookie defenseman Cale

Ol i v i a Di Nardo , Arag o n s o ftbal l . The
Lady Dons won four games last week fueled by
the freshman’s red-hot bat. DiNardo opened
the week with a five-hit, six-RBI performance
with two doubles and a homer last Monday
against Notre Dame-Belmont. And she just
kept on slugging. Through wins over NDB,
Hillsdale and a sweep of Woodside, DiNardo
went 11 for 15 with three home runs and 14
RBIs, taking over the PAL Bay Division lead
with a .557 batting average.
Kai a Li , Sacred Heart Prep g i rl s ’

the CCS scene, Li competed in the finals of
the 200 individual medley and the Gators’ 200
medley and 400 relay teams, and the “B” final
of the 100 breast. Her best individual perform-
ance came in the 200 IM, where a time of
2:02.96 was good for third. She was the win-
ner of the “B” final — ninth place — in the
100 breast at 1:03.70. She then swam the
opening leg on the 400 relay team that fin-
ished fourth. She was also the first swimmer in
the 200 medley relay. Li’s times in the 200
IM, 100 breast and 400 free relay qualified her
for the state.
Marg o t Gi bbo ns , SHP g i rl s ’ s wi m-

strong showing at CCS for the Gators to earn
spots in two events at the state champi-
onships. Despite making only the “B” finals
in the 200 free, her time of 1:49.96, which
was 10th overall, would have been good
enough for fifth place in the “A” final and
good enough to make state. Her fifth-place
finish in the 500 free in a time of 4:56.07,
also qualified her state.

The senior outfielder/pitcher had a big week
for the Bearcats, combining to go 7 for 10
while driving in three runs in three games. He
had two hits and an RBI in a 6-2 loss to Half
Moon Bay. He came back two days later and
helped lead San Mateo to a come-from-behind
12-10 win. Ozawa was 4 for 4 with three runs
scored and two RBIs at the plate and pitched
three innings of relief to earn the win, snap-

Sanchez delivered wins in the boys’ 100
and 200 meters; the transfer from Aragon
hit the tape in 10.95 seconds in the 100,
and 22.29 in the 200. Eagle collected four
gold medals, earning wins in the girls’ 100

team to a win in 49.38 seconds, and the
4x400 relay in 4:11.41.

Her marks at the 2018 PAL championships
were 143-9 in discus and 43.7 in shot put.
This year, she has topped out at 157-4 in dis-

personal record of 45-6 in the shot put

bees, Reds steal show
By Joe Kay
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CINCINNATI — Bees swarmed
home plate. A rookie hit two
homers. A third baseman wound up
pitching. Reds batters got plunked
at a record rate in a lopsided win.
Bruce Bochy sure has some
memories from his final game at
Great American Ball Park.
Nick Senzel hit a leadoff homer
after a swarm of bees finally left
home plate, and the rookie con-
nected again his next time up

with far more oddities than just an
insect infestation.
“Whew, ” the Giants manager

The wild game included a record-
tying four Reds getting plunked in
one inning. Giants third baseman
Pablo Sandoval pitched the eighth
and also hit a batter, matching
another record.
By that time, Bochy wasn’t the
only one with tired eyes.
The first pitch was delayed 18
minutes as bees swarmed above
the backstop screen, prompting
umpires and players to keep a safe
distance.
“I’ve never seen that,” Senzel
said. “That was crazy. I didn’t
know what was going on at first.
Then I saw the swarm.”
It was the Giants’ second bee

NBA playoffs
Bucks top Celtics, lead series 3-1
BOSTON — Giannis Antetokounmpo had
39 points and 16 rebounds to lead the Bucks
to a 113-101 victory over the Boston
Celtics in Game 4 of their second-round
playoff series Monday night and move
Milwaukee within one win from its first trip
to the Eastern Conference finals since
2001.
The Bucks have won three straight since
losing the opener of the best-of-seven series
at home. They can eliminate the Celtics in
Game 5 at home on Wednesday night.
Antetokounmpo scored 17 points with
seven rebounds in the fourth quarter to help the
Bucks pull away. Reserves George Hill, who
scored 15 points, and Pat Connaughton, who
had nine points and 10 rebounds, again led the
Bucks bench, which outscored Boston’s 32-7.
In what might be his last home game for
the Celtics, Kyrie Irving scored 23 points
with 10 assists. But he was 7 for 22 from the
floor, including 1 for 7 from 3-point range.

following a split with the Cougars last

After getting swept, Woodside now finds
itself in a third-place tie with both Sequoia
and Menlo-Atherton at 7-5. While the top
two finishers get automatic berths into
CCS, that third-place spot is still up for
grabs and, with it, a chance to play their
way into the playoffs by beating the Lake

“I didn’t think we got great shots for much
of the night,” Kerr said. “We’ve got to be
more poised and that has to be a focus.”
Eric Gordon added 20 points for Houston
and P. J. Tucker had 17 points and 10
rebounds.
Despite two straight win, the Rockets
still don’t think they’ve played their best.
“We’ve got to be better,” Tucker said.
“We’ve got to be more aggressive. We’ve
got to pick it up.”
Houston made 17 of its 50 3-point
attempts, while the Warriors shot just 8 of
33 from downtown with Curry making just 4
of his 14 attempts.
The Rockets were up by nine after three and
used an 8-2 run, with four points from
Harden, to open the fourth and extend the
lead to 101-86. Golden State used an 8-3 run,
with six points from Draymond Green, to cut
Right now, that Lake Division crown
appears to be Jefferson’s, which has a two-
game lead over second-place South City.
The Grizzlies can wrap up the title and
advance to the CCS play-in game with a
win over the Warriors Tuesday.
The PAL softball season has proven to be
just as wild and wacky as its baseball coun-
terpart. Not surprisingly, Carlmont (10-2)
sits atop the Bay Division standings, but it
has a precarious one-game lead over both
San Mateo and Aragon, who are 9-3.
Hillsdale sits fourth at 7-5, two games back
of the Bearcats and Dons.
That is significant because only the top
three teams qualify for CCS, meaning the
fourth-place team would have to apply for
an at-large bid. That’s not usually too big
of a deal, considering the PAL Bay
Division is among the strongest divisions
in CCS and that four teams out of the Bay
is not unusual. But a team never wants to
leave it to someone else to decide their
it to 104-94 midway through the quarter.
Houston had a 10-point lead with about
four minutes left before a 5-2 run, with a 3
from Curry, got them within 108-101.
Green was shaken up when Harden inad-
vertently knocked him in the head on the
follow through after he made a 3-pointer
that put Houston up 71-59 with nine min-
utes left in the third quarter. Green fell to the
court where he remained holding the left
side of his head for a couple of minutes. The
Warriors called a timeout and he collected
himself and remained in the game. The lead
grew to 77-60 before Golden State got
going.
Tip-ins
Warri o rs : Green had 15 points and 10
rebounds. ... Golden State trailed by as
many as 17 in the second half before its late
surge.
Ro ckets : Tucker has scored at least 10
points in six of Houston’s nine playoff
games this season and Monday was his third
straight game with at least 10 rebounds. ...
Austin Rivers had 10 points.
playoff fate, so the Knights will be look-
ing to sweep this week and then hope for
some help.
The two San Mateo rivals — the Bearcats
and Hillsdale — will meet Thursday, while
Carlmont and Aragon will hook up on the
final day of the regular season as well.
The Ocean Division is a two-team race
for the lone CCS berth and it will be decid-
ed on the field when undefeated Mills (11-0)
travel to take on 10-1 South City
Wednesday. The Vikings handed the
Warriors a 9-5 loss April 12, so South City
needs a win to force a co-championship and
then a tie-breaker will be used to determine
the division’s automatic bid.
So, of 32 PAL baseball and softball
games being played this week, 25 have
playoff implications. As a player, coach or
fan, that’s all for which you can really ask.

Maximum Security out of Preakness; Derby DQ appeal denied
By Gary B. Graves
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Taken down as the
Kentucky Derby winner, Maximum Security
is now out of the Preakness.
Maximum Security’s co-owner said Monday
he will not run the horse in the middle jewel of
the Triple Crown. The announcement came
hours before his appeal of the horse’s disquali-
fication as Derby winner was denied by the
Kentucky Horse Racing Commission.
Gary West told The Associated Press by
phone there is “really no need, not having
an opportunity to run for the Triple Crown,
to run a horse back in two weeks.”
The 1 1/8-mile Preakness is May 18 at
Pimlico Race Course. Though shorter than
the Kentucky Derby, the race requires a quick
turnaround. West didn’t want to burden his

tied heading into Game 7 in St. Louis on
Tuesday.
The Sharks are 7-4 all-time in Game 7s,
including an overtime win over Vegas in the
first round, while the Avalanche have a 4-6
mark since relocating to the Mile High
City.
“Sixty minutes away from a Western
Conference final,” Landeskog said. “Who
would have thought before the season? ...
The last thing they wanted to do was play
another one in San Jose. We accomplished
step No. 1 and now we have to regroup and
win another one.”
J.T. Compher scored twice and had an
assist, while Tyson Jost added another goal.
Philipp Grubauer made 19 saves, includ-
ing a pad save on Tomas Hertl early in OT.
Marc-Edouard Vlasic scored twice, includ-

colt with the Triple
Crown off the table.
Maximum Security was
scheduled to leave
Churchill Downs on
Monday and arrive early
Tuesday at Monmouth
Park, where trainer Jason
Servis is based, the New
Maximum Jersey track said.
Security “The horse will be bet-
ter off long term with the
rest,” West said. “He ran a really good and a
really hard race on Saturday.
“Really, there are a lot of other Grade 1
races the rest of the year for 3-year-olds. So
we’ll let him gather himself and point to one
of the other races. I don’t know which one
that will be, but it will definitely not be the
Preakness.”
ing the tying goal off the skate of an
Avalanche defenseman with 2:28 remain-
ing, and Brent Burns added another for the
Sharks, who overcame one-goal deficits on
three occasions.
“We were positive. We felt like we could
win this game, ” Sharks forward Logan
Couture said. “We just needed a little bit
more. We needed a little bit more people
involved in the game.”
This has been a back-and-forth series. San
Jose captured Game 1 and the two have alter-
nated wins the rest of the way. The com-
bined score in the series is 17-16 in favor of
the Sharks.
“It’s been punch, counter-punch, punch,”
Sharks coach Peter DeBoer said. “What did
they do tonight that we didn’t do? They
found a way to get an extra goal.”
Colorado has been playing desperate
hockey since late in the regular season just
trying to sneak into the playoffs. The team
went 8-0-2 down the stretch to secure the
eighth seed. The Avs haven’t lost back-to-
back games since mid-March.
Maximum Security, the first to finish the
muddy race by 1 3/4 lengths on Saturday,
became the first Derby winner to be disqual-
ified for interference. After an objection by
two riders, stewards ruled the colt swerved
out and impeded the path of several horses
between the far and final turns. Country
House, a 65-1 shot, was elevated to first.
Country House’s status for the Preakness
is unclear. That race would mark his fourth
start in eight weeks.
Trainer Bill Mott has said there’s no rush
to decide on whether he’ll run in Baltimore.
But he acknowledged the race’s importance
and added, “The challenge of the Triple
Crown is that there’s three races really close
together, and it takes a champion.”
The only other Derby disqualification was
in 1968, and long after the race. First-place
finisher Dancer’s Image tested positive for a
“Every game was kind of an elimination
game for us, so to speak,” defenseman Erik
Johnson said.
The last time Colorado won Game 6 when
facing a 3-2 deficit was the 2002 conference
semifinals, which also happened to be
against San Jose. The Avalanche then
knocked off the Sharks 1-0 at home in Game
7.
Nathan MacKinnon nearly gave Colorado
a 4-2 advantage late in the game, but his
attempt was deflected away by the stick of
Burns. Soon after, Vlasic tied it up when he
banked a shot off the right skate of
Colorado defenseman Nikita Zadorov.
Colorado took a goal lead on two separate
occasions in the second period, only to
have the Sharks tie it right back up. After
Jost scored, Vlasic answered. And after
Compher’s goal, Burns responded with 9.8
seconds left.
It was a painful second period for Mikko
Rantanen, who took a hip check from Burns
in the right hip/thigh area. Rantanen imme-
diately went to the bench and into the lock-

officials ordered the purse money to be redis-
tributed. Forward Pass got the winner’s
share. A subsequent court challenge upheld
the stewards’ decision.
West has said he realizes the appeals
process will take “months, if not years.” He
remains bothered that his request to view
replays with stewards after the race was
denied.
An appeal filed Monday morning was
denied later in the day by the KHRC, which
stated in a letter to West’s attorney that the
stewards’ decision is not subject to appeal.
The commission also denied a request to stay
the disqualification ruling pending appeal.

Sharks captain Joe Pavelski made another
step toward a return as he went through
drills Monday at Pepsi Center. He’s been out
since his head slammed against the ice in
Game 7 of a first-round series against Vegas.

said. “Wish I had a set-in-stone answer —

everything into play.”

the environment over the coming decades.
The Burlingame Planning Commission
and City Council during a joint discussion
Saturday, April 28, opened a discussion on
the city’s updated climate action plan docu-
ment.
Officials are crafting the proposal in an
effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
over the coming two decades through
improved mobility routes, more efficient
development practices, natural resource
conservation and more.
The plan raises 20 measures designed to
make Burlingame a more environmentally-
friendly community, which must be imple-
mented as the city faces expected growth in
the next few decades.
For his part, Community Development
Director Kevin Gardiner said the discussion
at the recent meeting was the first in a series
designed to formulate and craft the policy.
Among the most notable programs and
practices identified to cut greenhouse gas
emissions are implementing a transporta-
tion demand management plan, establish-
ing a complete streets network, adopting
more efficient construction management,

He also suggested bringing back redevel-
opment agencies, or at least a narrowly-
defined version with allocations specifical-
ly for affordable housing, would go far to
assuring local officials are offered the rev-
enue needed to improve their communities.
“We need the Legislature to act,” he said.
To that end, state lawmakers recently
raised a couple of proposals designed sepa-
rately to bring back some form of redevel-
opment and also lower the voter approval
threshold for tax measures.
Evelyn Stivers, executive director of
Housing Leadership Council of San Mateo
County, said the legislation would work in
tandem with local contributions to make the
region more affordable.
“We need the state and federal sources of

LOCAL
becoming more energy efficient and sup-
porting Peninsula Clean Energy, according
to the plan.
Should the variety of initiatives be imple-
mented effectively, Burlingame officials
expect the community will reach the emis-
sion-reduction benchmarks established in
2030, 2040 and 2050.
Most impactful among the programs iden-
tified in the report is adoption of Peninsula
Clean Energy, the county’s provider of elec-
tricity drawn from renewable sources which
does not generate greenhouse gases.
Should the program stay its course and
officials promote residents using the alter-
native energy source, officials expect to
make a sizable step toward becoming more
sustainable, according to the report.
Transportation demand management
plans, which are required for all new devel-
opments in Burlingame, were identified as a
key area as well, in an attempt to reduce the
amount of single-occupancy car trips visit-
ing each new project.
By encouraging carpooling, dedicating
prime parking spots for electric vehicles,
promoting bicycling and other alternative
modes of transportation and similar initia-
tives, officials can help facilitate signifi-
cant greenhouse gas emission reductions,
according to the report. There are marginal
costs associated with such an effort as well,
funding to match what we are doing local-
ly,” said Stivers.
She pointed to contributions by the coun-
ty Board of Supervisors from the Measure K
fund to support affordable housing as a key
initiative locally used to combat the short-
age of below-market units. Measure K is
half-cent sales tax for county services that
the Board of Supervisors earmarked a signif-
icant portion of for housing programs.
Yet despite the county’s allocation, the
difference between available affordable
units and the amount needed is remains stark
according to the report, which claims San
Mateo County is still short 22,269 below-
market rental homes.
The scarcity of such units squeezes the
middle and lower classes, according to the
report which shows renters need to earn
more than four times the local minimum
wage to afford the county’s median $3,512
monthly rent.
Compounded with the other high costs of
by leveraging county incentives for craft-
ing the plans.
In coordination with the improved trans-
portation plans, establishing a complete
street network through infrastructure
amendments will go far to encouraging peo-
ple to walk, bike or avoid driving.
Such improvements could include marked
or raised crosswalks, timed signals, curb
extensions and other initiatives. But unlike
some of the other undertakings, the city’s
cost is likely much higher due to the
expense of infrastructure repairs.
For her part, Vice Mayor Emily Beach said
she believed such investments will be
essential to improving connectivity and
energy efficiency throughout the city.
“How do we create the infrastructure and
build our cities for the future in the next 20
to 30 years? The future Burlingame, not the
Burlingame that existed for how people get
around in 1950, 1970 and 1990? And I cer-
tainly think this community is doing some
important work,” she said, according to
video of the meeting.
Supporting energy efficiency fixes to the
city’s aging buildings would be beneficial
as well, by promoting upgrades when prop-
erties are purchased and remodeled or host-
ing workshops designed to spread aware-
ness.
To that end, Mayor Donna Colson said the
living, Stivers said the affordability crisis
is pushing many locals out, as she claimed
thousands of residents are relocating in
search of a less expensive place to life.
A recent report from CoreLogic suggests a
little relief may be on the horizon as home
prices could become less expensive over the
coming year. But that may offer marginal
solace to those needing affordable housing
assistance, as the CoreLogic report cites
inability to afford a down payment is the
largest barrier precluding renters from enter-
ing the home-buying market.
To help the California address this issue,
the Housing Partnership report suggests $1
billion should be allocated by state lawmak-
ers to help local governments meet housing
development standards.
Schultz characterized the increased fund-
ing as common sense, since lawmakers are
pushing legislation compelling cities to
approve new development, while financing
levels are remaining relatively flat. He said
THE DAILY JOURNAL
city’s new Recreation Center, which is cur-
rently designed to be energy neutral, could
be a useful resource to model efficiency
standards to local residents.
“I’m proud that we are trying to lead the
way and set an example,” she said.
The climate plan is brought forward as the
city updates its general plan as well, which
amends the community’s master zoning and
development policy for the coming few
decades.
Once approved, officials will perform an
annual update on program effectiveness to
track the city’s progress in limiting green-
house gas emission and growing more envi-
ronmentally sensitive.
Beyond the specific initiatives laid out in
the plan to reduce greenhouse gasses, the
city is also working on a sea level rise pro-
tection plan which primarily addresses the
segment of the city east of Highway 101
abutting the Bay.
In all, the plan’s vision aims to make
Burlingame a more sustainable and resilient
community over the coming decades.
“This 2030 [climate action plans] fully
replaces the 2009 [climate action plan] and
is tasked with continuing the city’s down-
hill [greenhouse gas] emissions for years to
come,” according to the report.
the influx of state money would help locals
manage the uptick in development impacts.
The report also calls for more tax credits
to finance affordable housing development,
while also seeking a new capital gains tax
credit to preserve existing units.
More locally, the report seeks investment
of at least 25% of Measure K funds to create
affordable homes, while also looking for
policy amendments to facilitate construc-
tion of additional units. Among the notable
recommendations, the report calls for a pol-
icy prioritizing housing development and
requiring a 20% affordable housing mini-
mum on Caltrain property.
Beyond the local recommendations,
Stivers lauded the commitment from county
officials to address concerns around afford-
ability and turned her focus to lawmakers for
a similar commitment.
“While we are making headway, we need
partnership from the state and federal levels
to be successful,” she said.

FAMILY
Continued from page 1
woman living in San Diego.
Though Luckhurst was hosting friends
at her home when Blome sent a message
to her March 30, Chris Colgin couldn’t
wait to call Blome, who the website said
could be a first cousin of the three sib-
lings. Though he was attending a con-
ference in Reno that weekend, Chris
Colgin decided to give Blome a call
from his hotel room to see if he could
answer some of Blome’s questions
about their family connection. A few
minutes later, he was convinced he was
speaking with his half-sister.
“There was no doubt,” he said. “It was
almost as if I could visually see her from
Reno.”
Though Chris Colgin detected a strik-
ing resemblance between Blome’s voice
and mannerisms and those of his late
mother Marla Ragaza, the San Diego
resident’s birth story matched notes
Ragaza left with her children about three
others she’d had with three other men in
the mid- to late-1960s before she mar-
ried the Colgins’ father Mike Colgin.
Chris Colgin said Ragaza died in 1997
of complications from congestive heart
failure and told him and his two siblings
about their half-siblings when they
were in their late teens.
Exploring roots
Adopted by a couple living in San
Diego, Blome was born March 17,
1969, at Mercy Hospital and San Diego
County records show her mother’s maid-
en name is Ragaza. She said she had a
great upbringing with wonderful parents
and for a long time wasn’t sure about
reconnecting with her birth mother. But
after watching the TV show “Finding
Your Roots” with her daughter and with
her 50th birthday approaching, about a
year ago Blome decided to try submit-
ting information to AncestryDNA to
better understand her genealogy.
Blome said she was interested to learn
of her Filipino and Irish background as
well as to learn about some distant
cousins on the Irish side of the family.
But she was intrigued when she opened
her laptop March 30 to find a match
with Luckhurst, who the database sug-
gested could be a first cousin. She said
she reached out to Luckhurst and
explained she was adopted and was hop-
ing to learn more about her family his-
tory, growing worried later in the day
about how her message could be
received by the family.
But when Luckhurst responded asking
if she was born on St. Patrick’s Day at
Mercy Hospital, Blome felt relief,
which was joined by excitement to
receive Chris Colgin’s phone call the
same evening.
“I went from an only child to being
the middle of six in one day,” she said.
in the weeks following the discovery as
the siblings texted and called each
other, eventually arranging an in-per-
son meeting in the Bay Area in late
April. Blome, a middle school teacher,
said she considers herself an outgoing
person but grew nervous as her plane
landed in Oakland, wondering how her
siblings would react to meeting her.
But she said as soon as she saw
Luckhurst and Chris Colgin’s wife Sandi
Rocco at the airport, all of Blome’s
nerves melted away.
“As soon as I went down to the bag-
gage claim, that all just went away,” she
said. “We just hung out all night and
basically just talked and laughed.”
Blome said she’s enjoyed looking at
photos of her mother and her siblings
through the years, noting many family
members and close friends have
observed a striking resemblance
between her and Marla Ragaza, who was
also a teacher. She remembered silence
following one of her laughs last week-
end and someone noting she sounded
just like her mother. She said she’s
excited for her husband and two children
to meet siblings she never knew she had
on Mother’s Day, when the siblings
plan to meet again.
‘She fit right in’
For David Colgin, seeing Blome learn
about her birth mother and interact with
his family was nothing short of unbe-
lievable, especially since the Colgins
had wondered whether they would ever
meet their older half-siblings. He said
he and his siblings are known to talk
over each other, and Blome was no dif-
ferent, and added many felt like his
mother had something to do with their
new connection.
“She’s just like us,” he said. “It’s nuts.
She fit right in.”
Though Blome was nervous to tell her
adoptive mother about her connection
with her siblings, she said her mother,
who is about to turn 88, was overjoyed
to hear her daughter finally had the sib-
lings she had always wished for her to
have.
“I felt it as a mom, too, it was impor-
tant to me to let my kids know what is
your heritage and bloodline,” she said.
Chris Colgin said the reunion has
already sparked plans within the family
to get together for holidays. It has also
sparked a renewed effort to fill in the
blanks of their family history and con-
nect with their two older brothers,
Robert and Paul. According to a hand-
written note from Marla Ragaza, Robert
Jaeger was born Dec. 23, 1965, in
Salinas and Paul was born Dec. 13,
1967, in San Diego.
Another reunion
In an effort to try connecting with her
two half-brothers, Luckhurst said she
entered the names of her brothers on the
family tree hosted on Ancestry.com and
was told there were a few matches in
A

in Kansas City. She said the family was
able to find a phone number for his wife
Liz Jaeger, who is a Realtor, and heard
back from Rob Jaeger Thursday night,
much to their excitement. Having been
adopted three days after he was born,
Rob Jaeger said he knew very little
about his birth mother and father before
the siblings connected with him last
week, and Luckhurst noted they were
shocked to connect with two of their
half-siblings in just weeks.
“We’re all just exhausted,” said
Luckhurst. “But happy exhausted. After
so many years and years of wanting to
find our siblings, and it’s like, ‘wow, in
one month, we found two.’”
Having long thought he was half
Hawaiian and half Irish, Rob Jaeger said
he was interested to find some 53% of
his heritage is based in Malaysia and
that he is likely 47% Ashkenazi Jewish
when he did a DNA test along with his
adoptive mother a couple years ago.
Aside from his birth mother’s last name,
Rob Jaeger knew very little about his
biological parents and said he hadn’t felt
an impetus to find his birth parents, in
part because he didn’t think there was a
way to do so and also because he had a
wonderful life with his adoptive parents
and two siblings, who were also adopt-
ed.
Rob Jaeger said his wife let him know
she had just spoken with his half-broth-
er Chris Colgin when she returned home
from work Thursday night, and he spoke
with Chris Colgin and Blome shortly
after, learning from Blome that Ragaza
had saved newspaper clippings with
reports of his birth father’s death on an
aircraft carrier in 1966. Having believed
his father’s last name was McLoughlin
for years, Rob Jaeger soon learned his
birth father’s name is Norman Levy.
“Now here I am, I just found out I’m
the oldest of six siblings on my birth
mother’s side and now I just found out
the name of my father,” he said. “I was
like, ‘how much more can I absorb
here.’”
Rob Jaeger said knowing his father’s
name allowed him to piece together
aspects of his birth father’s life he either
never knew or had slightly inaccurate
information for, like his career as a pilot
in the U.S. Navy and not the U.S. Army
as he had previously believed. He said
he has also been able to connect with a
half-sister on his father’s side in the
time since he spoke with Blome, and is
looking forward to learning more about
his family history as he continues to
communicate with his siblings.
Though he acknowledged there are
many aspects of his birth parents’ lives
he will never know, Rob Jaeger
expressed his gratitude for both the life
he lived with his adoptive parents and
his good fortune in connecting with his
half siblings.
“All of this unfolding has just been a
blessing,” he said. “There’s a lot of
questions that will now be answered.”

THE DAILY JOURNAL
TRADE
Continued from page 1
Chinese imports, Trump is throwing down a
challenge to Beijing: Agree to sweeping
changes in China’s government-dominated
economic model — or suffer the conse-
quences.
The unexpected ultimatum shook up
financial markets, which had expected the
world’s two biggest economies to resolve a
yearlong standoff over trade, perhaps by the
end of the week.
“It’s a significant change in the presi-
dent’s tone,” said Timothy Keeler, a partner
at the law firm Mayer Brown and former
chief of staff for the U. S. Trade
Representative office. “It certainly increas-
es the possibility that you’ll have no deal.”
For weeks, Trump administration officials
had been suggesting that the U. S. and
Chinese negotiators were making steady
progress.
Suddenly on Sunday, Trump said he had
lost patience: “The Trade Deal with China
continues, but too slowly, as they attempt
to renegotiate. No!” he tweeted.
Trump also said he planned “shortly” to
slap 25% tariffs on another $325 billion in
Chinese products, covering everything
China ships to the United States.
The two countries are engaged in high-
stakes commercial combat over China’s
aggressive push to establish Chinese com-
panies as world leaders in cutting-edge
fields such as robotics and electric vehicles.
LOCAL
The United States accuses Beijing of
predatory practices, including hacking into
U.S. companies’ computers to steal trade
secrets, forcing foreign firms to hand over
technology in exchange for access to the
Chinese market and unfairly subsidizing
Chinese firms at the expense of foreign
competitors.
The Trump administration has imposed
10% tariffs on $200 billion in Chinese
imports and 25% tariffs on another $50 bil-
lion. The Chinese have retaliated by target-
ing $110 billion in U.S. imports.
Global stock markets sank Monday on
Trump’s tweetstorm. But shares in the
United States regained some of the lost
ground on news that Chinese officials were
planning to go ahead with this week’s meet-
ings in Washington. Still, the Chinese gov-
ernment did not provide details on exactly
when talks would resume and who would be
on China’s negotiating team.
U.S. officials said they expected that
China’s delegation would be led again by
Vice Premier Liu He, a confidante of Chinese
President Xi Jinping.
Beijing is wrestling with an internal con-
flict: It is eager to end a trade fight that has
battered Chinese exporters, but it doesn’t
want to look like it’s bowing to the Trump
administration’s demands for far-reaching
concessions.
Trump’s threat makes going ahead with
talks “very difficult politically” for Xi’s
government, said Jake Parker, vice presi-
dent of the U.S.-China Business Council.
He said the Chinese public might “view this
as a capitulation” if Beijing reached an
agreement before Trump’s Friday deadline.
The conflict is testing how far Beijing is
willing to go in changing a state-led eco-
nomic model it sees as the path to prosperi-
ty and global influence — and how much
power Washington will have to enforce any
agreement.
Beijing is willing to change industrial
plans that provoke foreign opposition but
wants to preserve the ruling Communist
Party’s dominant role in directing econom-
ic development, said Willy Lam, a politics
specialist at the Chinese University of
Hong Kong.
Chinese officials have said they are will-
ing to let foreign companies participate in
plans that call for government-led creation
of global competitors in robotics and other
technologies. But they have yet to release
details, and it is unclear whether the conces-
sions will satisfy Trump.
Xi is “adamant about party-state control
over major sectors of the economy,” Lam
said. “If they give this up, then China in
effect ceases to be a socialist country.”
Beijing agreed early on to narrow its trade
surplus with the United States — a stagger-
ing $379 billion last year — by purchasing
more American soybeans, natural gas and
other exports.
At the same time, Xi’s government has
announced a steady drumbeat
of promises to open markets
— in businesses that include
auto manufacturing and
banking. But none of the
moves directly addresses
American complaints.

The negotiators are also looking for a
way to hold Beijing to any commitments it
makes. The Trump administration wants to
keep tariffs on Chinese imports to maintain
leverage over Beijing.
“Trump wants a certain amount of tariffs
to remain in place just in case the Chinese
don’t honor their promises,” Lam said. “The
Chinese refuse to give the Americans the
right to penalize them.”
The Chinese are also skittish about allow-
ing Washington to dictate changes to indus-
trial policy and subsidies, said Raoul
Leering, a trade specialist for Dutch bank
ING. They see that as “having another coun-
try decide your economic policy.”
Trump also seems to be calculating that Xi
needs a deal more than he does. The Chinese
economy is decelerating. “Trump believes
he can bully the Chinese, ” Lam said.
“Trump realizes the Chinese economy is
facing a rough patch, and Xi Jinping is
under pressure from his own people.”
But Trump also has an incentive to reach a
deal. The trade war is creating uncertainty
for businesses trying to decide where to buy
supplies, locate factories and make invest-
ments. And it’s been weighing on a strong
U.S. stock market, which the president
likes to tout as evidence that his economic
policies are working.
