A man innocently brought a

homemade pipe bomb he found
into the Novato police station
Saturday, setting off a scare that
forced a shutdown of the area and
required a bomb squad to remove
the device.
The incident, which closed the
police station and surrounding
areas to auto and foot traffic for
about three hours, ended when
the UC Berkeley Police Bomb
Team disabled the pipe bomb.
Police said they were not plan-
ning any immediate changes in
security protocols at the station,
but would take the matter under
review.

Student survivors not intimidated in gun debate
By Matt Pearce
Los Angeles Times
Since the shooting attack at
Marjory Stoneman Douglas
High School in Parkland, Fla., a
student there, Sarah Chadwick,
has amassed a Twitter follow-
ing of more than 150,000 peo-
ple. On Thursday night, Chad-
wick decided to share a thought
with them.
Was it time for a message call-
ing for thoughts, prayers and
privacy?
Hardly. It was time to go after
one of Florida’s U.S. senators for
taking donations from the Na-
tional Rifle Association.
“We should change the names
of AR-15s to ‘Marco Rubio’ be-
cause they are so easy to buy,”
Chadwick wrote.
This is what politicizing a
tragedy looks like, and the kids
are more than happy to keep do-
ing it.
With 17 of their classmates
and faculty shot to death, the
students of the school have be-
come celebrity activists whom
many left-leaning Americans
have embraced as the new lead-
ers of the nation’s gun control
movement.
The students have been bold,
confrontational and even abra-
sive, rarely holding back their
anger, even if it means disre-
specting their older, establish-
ment opponents. They say what
they mean.

SAN RAFAEL SAUSALITO
PADDLE CHALLENGE Deal sought with
park service on
Fort Baker ferries
By Mark Prado

@MarkPradoIJ on Twitter
Sausalito officials hope
to negotiate an under-
standing with the National
Park Service over a plan to
send tourists via ferries to
Fort Baker.
The main thrust of the
park’s plan would be to es-
tablish a new, long-term
embarkation site for ser-
vice between the north-
ern San Francisco water-
front and Alcatraz. But it
would also establish con-
necting weekend ferry ser-
vice to Fort Baker — near
the Golden Gate Bridge —
as well as between Fort Ma-
son and other park destina-
tions on San Francisco Bay.
As sketched out by the
park service, there would

ter from the city’s law firm,
Sheppard, Mullin, Richter
& Hampton LLP on the is-
sue. “These additional visi-
tors and traffic will exacer-
bate what are often severe,
over-crowded conditions
within Sausalito’s historic
downtown and water-
front, particularly during
weekends and peak peri-
ods spanning from March
through October.”
Sausalito does not want
to stop the plan, but to
make sure it doesn’t over-
whelm the city, the mayor
said.
“We are not opposed to
it, we simply want to have
a structure in place to get
ferry passengers where
they want to go,” Cox said.
“If they want to go to Muir
Woods, there should be a
shuttle. If they want to go
to downtown Sausalito
there should be a shut-
tle. What we don’t want
to see is 40 or 50 Uber or
Lyft rides lined up at Fort
Baker.”
There is time for talks.
Ferry service to Fort Baker
would not start for another
five years at the earliest,
Sausalito officials were
told.

Marin County Sheriff Bob
Doyle, however, said in a tele-

his officers do not partici-

and are in compliance with
the new law — SB 54, the Cal-
ifornia Values Act, also called
the “sanctuary state” law. As
to posting Marin County Jail
inmate release dates online,
that is not meant to help ICE
but to allow access to data
that is already public infor-
mation, he said.
“It’s a public informa-
tion alert, first and fore-
most,” Doyle said last week.
“It alerts friends and family,
and people who were victim-
ized — and it limits our con-
tact with ICE.” Marin’s jail,
like others around the state,
began early this year post-
ing inmate release dates on
the online jail booking log.
Previously, that information
was available to the public,
but only by telephone.

Levin’s pitch wasn’t strong
enough — delegates in the

him, Doug Applegate, the

Obama. Democrats also
failed to unite behind a can-

Saturday’s event was in
conjunction with the re-
lease of a new research re-
port by the Canal Alliance.
The report is based on a
public records request filed
by Canal Alliance last July
asking the sheriff’s office for
documents related to the
jail population from Janu-
ary 2015 to July 2017.

RUSSIA PROBE
Congress releases redacted, Nunes honored
declassified Democratic memo for pushback on
By Mary Clare Jalonick
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON >> A redacted,
declassified memo released
by Democrats on the House
intelligence committee Sat-
urday aims to counter a nar-
rative that Republicans on
the committee have pushed
for months — that the FBI
and Justice Department
conspired against Presi-
dent Donald Trump dur-
ing his presidential cam-
paign, abusing a secret sur-
veillance process to spy on
one of his operatives in its
Russia investigation.
The Democratic memo
was released Saturday af-
ter weeks of delays. The
White House on Feb. 9 ob-
jected to its release, cit-
ing national security con-
cerns. That sent the Dem-
ocrats back to negotiations
with the FBI over how much
of the memo needed to be
blacked out.
President Donald Trump
had no such concerns about
an earlier classified memo
written by Republicans,
which he declassified Feb 2
over strong objections from
the FBI. In that memo, Re-
publicans took aim at the
FBI and the Justice Depart-
ment over the use of an anti-
Trump dossier compiled by
former British spy Chris-
topher Steele in obtaining
a secret warrant to mon-
itor the communications
of a former Trump cam-
paign foreign policy adviser
Carter Page.
The Democratic docu-
ment attempts to undercut
and add context to some of
the main points from the
GOP memo, including the
GOP assertion that the FBI
obtained the surveillance
warrant without disclosing
that Steele’s materials were
funded by Democrat Hillary
Clinton’s campaign and the
Democratic National Com-
mittee. Republicans had
said that federal authorities
President Donald Trump listens during a meeting with North Korean defectors where he
talked with reporters about allowing the release of a secret memo on the FBI’s role in the
Russia inquiry, in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington.
had not disclosed enough to
the court about the political
nature of the work, but the
Democratic memo contends
that the Justice Department
disclosed “the assessed po-
litical motivation of those
who hired him.”
The Democratic memo
also asserts that the FBI’s
concerns about Carter Page
long predate the Steele dos-
sier, and that its application
to monitor his communica-
tions details suspicious ac-
tivities he undertook dur-
ing the 2016 presidential
campaign. That includes a
July 2016 trip to Moscow in
which he gave a university
commencement address.
Trump has said the GOP
memo “vindicates” him in
the ongoing Russia investi-
gation led by special coun-
sel Robert Mueller. But con-

Russia probe
By David Weigel
The Washington Post
The chairman of the
House Intelligence Com-
mittee predicted a back-
lash from the release of a
Democratic memo about
foreign meddling in the
2016 election, telling a
yearly gathering of con-
servatives that “the Dem-
ocratic-controlled media”
had misled Americans
about the investigation.
“We actually wanted
this out,” said Rep. Devin
Nunes, R-Calif., address-
ing the annual Conserva-
tive Political Action Con-
ference just as the Demo-
cratic memo was released.
“It’s clear evidence that
the Democrats are not
only covering this up, but
they’re also colluding with
parts of the government to
cover this up.”
Nunes’s remarks, part
of a Q&A with Ameri-
can Conservative Union
president Matt Schlapp,
came at the end of a con-
ference where the inqui-
ries into Donald Trump’s
presidential campaign
were described as a par-
tisan farce. Nunes was
one of several speakers
who suggested that the
case against the Trump
campaign was flimsy, and
any investigation into the
election needed to focus
on whether the Obama
administration had un-
fairly targeted the 2016
Republican campaign.
“We’ve seen no evi-
dence of collusion,” said
Nunes.
“We’ve seen no evidence
of Republicans colluding,”
added Schlapp.
“ T hat ’s fa ir,” sa id
Nunes.
The conference, which
unfolded over three-and-
a-half days at the Gaylord
SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2018
National Resort & Conven-
tion Center just outside
Washington, overlapped
with breaking news about
the long-running Rus-
sia investigation. On Fri-
day, Trump campaign of-
ficial Rick Gates pleaded
guilty on two charges re-
lated money laundering,
and special counsel Robert
Mueller filed fresh charges
against former Trump
campaign manager Paul
Manafort.
But at CPAC, the news
was received in two ways
- as a distraction, or as a
hoax. According to the
conference’s annual straw
poll, 60 percent of attend-
ees said that the Muel-
ler investigation was un-
fair. In a Saturday after-
noon speech, Tom Fitton,
the president of the con-
servative watchdog group
Judicial Watch said that
the probe and the media’s
focus on it was designed
to distract from scan-
dals around defeated 2016
Democratic presidential
candidate Hillary Clinton.
“Stolen and destroyed
records. Violations of na-
tional security laws. You
name it - Judicial Watch
has compiled enough evi-
dence to compel the law-
ful arrest of Hillary Clin-
ton,” said Fitton. “It’s no
wonder that the D.C. estab-
lishment would rather talk
about their made-up gar-
bage about Donald Trump
and Russia.”
A Saturday panel about
the investigation, bringing
together skeptical conser-
vative reporters, was less
dismissive. While they crit-
icized some national me-
dia for hyping each turn
in the Russia story, they
acknowledged that the in-
vestigations raised some
questions about Trump’s
campaign.

SECOND INCIDENT SPEECH

Driver slams into

White House barrier
By Peter Hermann
and Joe Heim
The Washington Post
WASHINGTON >> A Tennes-
see woman who was con-
victed last year of trying to
climb a White House bar-
rier was arrested again Fri-
day after authorities said
she intentionally drove a
vehicle into a metal barri-
cade at the executive man-
sion.
D.C. police identified her
as Jessica R. Ford, 35, of La
Vergne, Tennessee, about
20 miles south of Nash-
ville. She was in custody
and charges were pend-
ing Friday night, author-
ities said.
The incident occurred
about 3 p.m. The U.S. Se-
cret Service said a woman
driving a white van or SUV
“intentionally drove” into
the barrier.
A tourist visiting from
New York, Christopher
Bello, said that it appeared
as if the driver “was trying
to break through the bar-
rier” and that he thought
“she started to hit the gas,
and her tires were spin-
ning and smoking.”
The Secret Service said
Ford was quickly arrested
and no shots were fired.
The vehicle’s back window
and one side window were
shattered; it could not be
determined how that oc-
curred or when.
Authorities said the ve-
hicle did not get past the
security post and no one
was injured. The Secret
Service said in a state-
ment that its officers have
“had previous encounters
with the female in the vi-
cinity of the White House
resulting in numerous ar-
rests for a variety of crim-
inal violations.”
Records filed in D.C.
Superior Cour t show
that Ford was arrested
three times last year and
charged with either un-
lawful entry or violating a
judge’s order to stay away
from the White House.
She also received psychi-
atric counseling, the re-
cords show. Ford received
a 90-day suspended jail
sentence in one case, and
another charge was dis-
missed.
The third incident oc-
curred in April. A Secret
Service officer questioned
her in Lafayette Park, and
she told him, according to
an arrest affidavit, “I’m go-
ing to jump the fence.” She
then ran to the fence and
tried to climb it before be-
ing arrested. She pleaded
guilty to unlawful entry
and was sentenced to 30
days in jail, all suspended,
and put on a year’s proba-
tion.
Ford’s relatives could
not be reached Friday. Her
attorney in the April case,
Winston J. Yallery-Arthur,
declined to comment.
The incident prompted
police to shut down sev-
eral streets and plunged
the White House into lock-
down. Secret Service offi-
cers with long guns pa-
trolled the perimeter and
cleared Lafayette Park.
Bello, the tourist, had
stopped in Washington on
his way home from a trip
to Disney World because
his 5-year-old daughter
wanted to see the White
House. He said they heard
the crash as they walked
by the security post and
then saw the vehicle spin-
ning its wheels.
He said Secret Service
officers with long guns
burst from a security
booth and ordered the
driver to stop. “She didn’t
stop,” Bello said. At that
point, he said, other police
officers ordered bystanders
to run, and he didn’t see
what happened next.
At first, he said, his
daughter “didn’t realize
what was going on. But
when the Secret Service
came out and said, ‘Run,
run, run,’ she got scared
and started to cry.”
‘The Post’ renews attention

Editorial Cartoonist’s take

County rentals
measure a sign
of the times?
Over the past two years, the county has
been wrestling with possible regulations for
short-term rentals.
Meanwhile, the popular-
ity of rentals offered on web-
sites such as Airbnb and VRBO
is booming. Last year, a consul-
tant involved in tracking the in-
ternet-driven rental market es-
timated there were 1,126 short-
term rentals available across the
county, not just the unincorpo-
rated area over which the super-
visors hold jurisdiction.
The county hired the consul-
tant to come up with updated
numbers, but those won’t be
available until next month.
The county’s dilemma, and
that faced by Marin cities, has
many factors. Many of the inter-
net-generated rentals are side-
stepping the rules that also ap-
ply to traditional lodging op-
tions such as hotels, motels
and bed-and-breakfast inns.
They aren’t facing parking re-
quirements, they aren’t getting
county business licenses and
fees and, often, they aren’t pay-
ing county lodging taxes.
In addition, the money-earn-
ing power of short-term rentals
has led some property owners
to turn what had been afford-
able long-term rental opportu-
nities into vacation rentals.
The county’s problem is it re-
ally doesn’t know how many
short-term rentals it’s dealing
with because Airbnb and VRBO
don’t open their books. The
county has hired a consultant to
help come up with some details.
For some property own-
ers, income generated by those
short-term rentals is making it
possible for them to afford to
buy a house in Marin. Others
are buying up homes because
they want to turn them into va-
cation rentals.
But some of the rentals have
generated neighborhood com-
Sounding off
A look at what readers are saying in comments on our website and
on social media.
“Fact. This charter is a public school. ... The community is
being hurt by this style of debate. A process of genuinely
working together respectfully towards a win-win outcome
would be peaceful. Intimidation is bullying.”

plaints about rowdy behavior or
parking problems.
So the supervisors have de-
cided to try to pull these rentals
out of the underground econ-
omy and require them, for at
least a three-month trial period,
to post property-front signs, in-
forming passersby that they are
short-term rentals. The signs
would include a phone number
to call with inquiries or com-
plaints.
The signs might help pin-
point the whereabouts of these
rentals, but they also could be
an invitation for burglars or dis-
suade a potential homebuyer
looking at homes in the neigh-
borhood.
The other problem, perhaps
the most vexing, is that the sign
law would only apply to those
who are playing by the coun-
ty’s rules — those that are reg-
istered.
It’s just another regulation
that most of the internet rental
landlords are sidestepping. Or
would the signs, which county
planning staff advises, help re-
inforce the county’s require-
ments?
Supervisors should answer
that question before giving final
approval to the sign plan.
And then what about the
mixed message?
While the county is busy pro-
moting tourism, it is also clamp-
ing down on a popular lodging
choice among visitors.
Short-term rentals should
play by the rules, the same that
other lodging opportunities are
expected to follow. Will requir-
ing short-term rentals that are
already following the rules to
post signs accomplish that? Or,
will the county measure have
unintended consequences?

How much will county deal
really cost taxpayers?
Here I sit in positively the
most heavenly valley on the
planet. I’ve been thinking ... a
lot.
What need to bring back the
salmon to the valley would su-
persede due process? As a tax-
payer, I don’t believe there was
ever transparency in the coun-
ty’s purchase of the San Geron-
imo Golf Course. Marin County
saw an opportunity and in no
way showed a sense of respon-
sibility to those of us who de-
served to know facts and do our
own research into the cost of
what the county touted as the
best opportunity.
The above does not even take
into account the cost of “rewild-
ing” the property.
I was born here and have
lived in Marin for many years.
The county did intend to
be surreptitious in its ever-
so-quiet purchase of the golf
course. Too much necessary in-
formation had to be studied
in order to purchase the land.
How else could the county jus-
tify paying the preposterous
amount of $8.8 million for the
golf course? It was pure and
simply devious.
Not only as a taxpayer am I
saddened, but as a resident of
Marin, which has historically
tried to ensure that this extraor-
dinary valley would be pro-
tected.
Tell the truth. What will all
of the necessary changes cost
us, the taxpayers? I ask for dol-
lar projections that will in-
volve tractors needed for exca-
vation, bridge building, bulldoz-
ers, boulders and rock needed
to shore up damaged landscape,
destruction of the trees and ev-
erything else that stands to be
affected?
The cost is massive.
Money being promised to
provide for the “rewilding” have
to be in the millions. Who’s pay-
ing?
Has anyone projected the
years it will take?
A huge unknown is the wa-
ter. Where will it come from
and what guarantees can you
give us that the destruction of
this parcel of land will bring us
the salmon that has been at the
forefront of this effort to move
this sale forward and quickly.
Let’s not forget the very
real possibility of fire. The golf
course is among other things
a firebreak. Haven’t we seen
enough pain that can come
from the destruction of lives by
fire?
I hope with all my heart that
the use of this property is re-
considered and that more time
is given for research around
the multiple uses and opportu-
nities that come with the pur-
chase of this extraordinary par-
cel of land.

Math counts when
weighing Kentfield tax
Lauren Anthony Cargill’s
heartfelt letter to the editor en-
dorsing Kentfield School Dis-
trict’s controversial Measure A
parcel tax unfortunately con-
tains a very material error. The
result is a significant under-
statement of how much home-
owners will pay.
Ms. Cargill downplays the
cost of Measure A, declaring
“we’re talking (about) an addi-
tional $355, to a maximum of
$461, per year over the next 10
years.”
There are two problems with
this argument.
First, it fails to make clear
that the additional money ($355
at the outset) comes on top of
the current $1,143 amount. That
means an immediate 31 per-
cent increase to $1,498 — mak-
ing it California’s second-high-
est school parcel tax.
Second, and more impor-
tant, there’s a major error in Ms.
Cargill’s assertion that the in-
creased cost of this parcel tax
will top out at $461 (relative to
the current annual parcel tax).
The correct figure is far higher.
Starting at $1,498, Measure
A parcel tax will increase 3 per-
cent every year. After nine an-
nual increases, it reaches $1,955.
That is $811 more than at pres-
ent, not $461.
Measure A’s increases (rela-
tive to the current $1,143) total
$5,738 per homeowner over the
10-year term; the aggregate cost
for each homeowner would be
$17,173.
This is not chump change.
I truly hope no one’s vote was
swayed by figures that seriously
understate Measure A’s finan-
cial burden.
Ms. Cargill concludes by urg-
ing voters to “get your facts
straight.”
I agree.

Finding some real solutions to end school shootings
By Diana Conti
Finally, the numbness is
wearing off and the tears
are now making it hard to
see my keyboard. My first
response to yet another
brutal killing of innocent
children by an agoniz-
ingly troubled teen had a
thick swath of self-preserv-
ing numbness masking the
horror and despair.
The soul-wrenching sad-
ness that has been lurk-
ing just below the surface
is now compelling me to
do more. But the almost
unanswerable question is
what can be done?
There are a host of
things that are accom-
plishing nothing: pointing
fingers; endless, useless de-
bates; senseless attempts
to find one simplistic cause
If he’s correct, that’s a
persuasive argument re-
butting those of us who
ridicule the notion that
more than a handful of cy-
clists will ever commute
to work across the 5.5-mile
windy Marin-to-East Bay
span.
It turns out Reed was
misinformed. A mode
shift, at least on the
Dumbarton, is an urban
myth.
The issue arose over Su-
pervisor Damon Connolly’s
commonsense suggestion
that the now under-con-
struction Richmond bridge
upper deck third lane
be used during weekday
mornings for peak hours
by autos, buses and trucks.
Connolly was backed by
Supervisor Judy Arnold in
suggesting that at the con-
clusion of rush hours the
span’s new movable barrier
be shifted so that bikes
and one simplistic solu-
tion (that have zero chance
of working); feeling pow-
erless to get help from gut-
less, compromised, or out-
numbered decisionmakers.
I have worked in hu-
man services for nearly
40 years. This is not a
new problem, just a more
deadly one.
In the early ’80s I ran
a program for troubled
teens. We had endless
meetings with criminal
justice and mental health
and Child Protective Ser-
vices and schools trying to
change systems to elimi-
nate gaps in services and
change laws and policies
to help intervene before
they spiraled out of con-
trol. None of it happened.
Creating a comprehen-
sive and coordinated sys-
tem required a big funding
could then use the third
lane during the remaining
20 hours of the day and on
weekends.
That’s called a compro-
mise, a rare concept these
days.
Connolly’s position will
meet stiff resistance from
MTC’s powerful staff and
a good many commission-
ers. Leading Contra Costa
County elected officials,
understanding most morn-
ing westbound commut-
ers come from the East
Bay, support the flexible
auto-bike use of the upper
deck’s third lane. Dumbar-
ton is the shortest of any
of Caltrans’ trans-bay
bridges. The 1.63-mile span
links Fremont in Alameda
County to booming Menlo
Park on the northern edge
of Silicon Valley. If there’s
going to be a “mode shift”
on any trans-bay crossing,
it makes sense it would in-
investment in the lives of
these children.
Systems had to be will-
ing to change. Lawmakers
had to be willing to revise
laws. Conflicting special
interests had to be willing
to compromise. The will
to change was not strong
enough to remove the ob-
stacles to change.
What was different back
then was kids did not have
easy access to weapons
that easily kill a lot of peo-
ple, so their festering an-
ger never had this level of
lethality. There was little
in the environment that
made it acceptable and
morally defensible, even
cool, to be violent. Colum-
bine opened Pandora’s Box
for copycat lethal violence
by youth.
Troubled children often
become troubled adults.

ers headed from afford-
able southern Alameda
County to expensive but
job-rich southern San Ma-

A bike and pedestrian
path has been a compo-
nent of the South Bay span
since it was rebuilt in 1982.
A quarter century is long
enough to determine if the
short crossing is a magnet
for commuting cyclists.
According to Caltrans,
each day sees an aver-
age of 71,000 motor vehi-
cles crossing the Dumbar-
ton. Because some are car-
pools, it’s a good guess that
involves about 80,000 peo-
ple. That’s 35,500 vehicles,
or 40,000 commuters trav-
eling in each direction.
MTC has two cameras

ing component doesn’t dis-
Cultural norms that le-

the intent to kill that re-
sult in mass shootings by
people of all ages. Easy
access to assault weap-
ons provides the means.
There are multiple moti-
vations and causes inher-
ent in each instance of
mass shootings.
However, gun deaths
from mass shootings are a
shockingly small percent-
age of annual gun deaths.
Homicide, suicide and ac-
cidents cause most gun
deaths in roughly equal
amounts.
Children killing chil-
dren is a resounding cry
for help and an ear-split-
ting alarm, but our numb-

lessness make us put our

tinguish between crossing
by pedestrians and bikes.
How many “cross-
ings” each day does the
Dumbarton bike/pedes-
trian path witness? Last
Wednesday, MTC’s tabu-
lation indicates 235 cross-
ings, or about 118 in each
direction.
As for any mode shift,
it’s unknown if that num-
ber has recently increased,
but it hardly matters.
Two hundred and thirty-
five daily crossings is triv-
ial. Bike and pedestrian
trips across the Dumbar-
ton compose .004 percent
of all trips across it by all
modes.
If that’s the “mode shift”
Reed is suggesting, af-
ter expenditure of tens of
millions of dollars of toll
money for 24/7 use of the
Richmond bridge’s bikeway,
elected officials and MTC’s
credibility will be shot.
When I was raising my
children, the thought never
entered my mind that
they could be shot while
attending school. Now I
worry that my grandchil-
dren may end up going to
schools with armed guards
and metal detectors.
There are numerous ev-
idence-based polices and
system-wide prevention
and intervention strategies
that will eventually stop
this plague of gun violence.
They range from banning
assault weapons and other
gun control, to investing in
necessary services, chang-
ing systems and cultural
norms, and building pub-
lic opinion to demand fur-
ther action.
The will to change must
be strong enough to over-
come numbness, denial
and entrenched politics.

FLORIDA MASSACRE QUESTIONS

Broward sheriff launches internal probe

By Mark Berman
The Washington Post
The Broward County
Sheriff ’s Office said it
is investigating allega-
tions that multiple depu-
ties failed to enter Mar-
jory Stoneman Douglas
High School in Parkland,
Florida, after the shoot-
ing rampage there, add-
ing to the mounting inter-
nal probes examining both
the department’s response
to the attack and its prior
interactions with the sus-
pected shooter.
Authorities have faced
criticism about the series
of unheeded warning signs
that preceded the Feb. 14
massacre. These warnings
about Nikolas Cruz, the
19-year-old charged with
the massacre, included mul-
tiple tips saying he could be
capable of carrying out a
school shooting. The FBI re-
ceived such a tip in January
but never investigated it.
The Broward County Sher-
iff’s Office said it received
two similar warnings, but
there is no evidence that ei-
ther prompted any investi-
gation.
Officials have also faced
difficult questions about
what happened after the
shooting began inside
Stoneman Douglas. Bro-
ward County Sheriff Scott
Israel acknowledged Thurs-
day that an armed deputy,
serving as the school re-
source officer at Stoneman
Douglas, got to the scene of
the shooting but failed to go
inside, violating accepted
police protocol. That dep-
uty, Scot Peterson, a three-
decade veteran of the sher-
iff’s office, resigned after be-
ing suspended.
The Broward County
Sheriff’s Office has said it
is investigating how the
agency responded to the
gunfire that killed 17 stu-
dents and faculty at Stone-
man Douglas. Among the
topics being probed, ac-
cording to Israel, are alle-
gations made by officers

Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
from another department
that they saw other Bro-
ward sheriff’s deputies - not
just Peterson - still waiting
outside as the shooting oc-
curred.
The sheriff told the South
Florida Sun Sentinel on Fri-
day that his office is investi-
gating the allegations and if
they find “that our deputies
made mistakes and didn’t
go in, I’ll handle it like I al-
ways have.” His office did
not respond to a request for
comment Saturday.
According to a CNN re-
port, Coral Springs po-
lice officers who arrived
at Stoneman Douglas said
that in addition to Peterson,
they found at least three
other sheriff’s deputies still
outside the building.
The Coral Springs police
released a statement saying
it was “aware of media re-
ports” but was not going to
make statements “regard-
ing these allegations as it
is still an open and active
investigation being handled
by the Broward Sheriff’s Of-
fice.”
“Our police department
has continued to work
alongside the Broward
Sheriff’s Office to assist
in any investigation per-
taining to this incident,”
Coral Springs police said
in the statement. “The Coral
Springs Police Department
has a tremendous working
relationship with the men
and women of the Broward
Sheriff’s Office, and while
we are being transparent
through this investigation,
everyone should respect the
process.”
Tony Pustizzi, the Coral
Springs police chief, did not
respond to a message seek-
ing comment on Saturday.
He said earlier this week
that his department, which
is headquartered just miles
down the road from Stone-
man Douglas and polices
a city where many of the
school’s students live, will
also review its response to
the shooting.
Officials have said they
are reviewing how they
handled earlier warnings
about Cruz, including the
fumbled FBI tip. In January,
a woman described by the
bureau as close to Cruz con-
tacted the FBI tip line and
warned that he could “get
into a school and just shoot
the place up,” according to
a transcript of the call ob-
tained by The Post.
The woman told the FBI
that she was worried Cruz
was “going to explode,” the
transcript showed. “Some-
thing is going to happen,”
the caller said. She is also
quoted as saying she had
passed the information
along to local police.
The FBI has acknowl-
edged that it made mis-
takes in handling the warn-

ing and said the bureau was
investigating both what
happened and how it han-
dles tips from the public.
The Broward County
Sheriff’s Office said this
week that among the 23
calls it received relating to
Cruz or his family over the
last decade were two with
warnings that the teenager
could potentially open fire
at a school. Both calls have
since prompted internal af-
fairs probes, the sheriff’s of-
fice said.
In February 2016, a
caller warned that Cruz
“planned to shoot up the
school.” A deputy spoke to
the caller, learned that Cruz
had knives and a BB gun,
and relayed information
from the call to Peterson,
the deputy serving as the
Stoneman Douglas school
resource officer. It remains
unclear what Peterson,
who has not responded to
attempts to reach him, did
with the information.
The following year, the
sheriff’s office also said
it got a call warning that
Cruz was collecting guns
and knives and could be
“a school shooter in the
making.” That call, made
in November 2017, came
less than three months be-
fore the Stoneman Doug-
las massacre. It noted
that Cruz, whose mother
had died that month, had
moved from Parkland,
to a home in Palm Beach
County.
According to the Bro-
ward sheriff’s office, no re-
port was filed on the call,
and a deputy interviewed
after the Stoneman Douglas
shooting said he referred it
to the Palm Beach County
Sheriff’s Office. A spokes-
woman for that office told
The Washington Post on
Friday that they “have NO
RECORD of getting this
threat.”
The Broward sheriff’s of-
fice said it was unable to
provide more information
about what may have hap-
pened after that call be-
cause of the ongoing inter-
nal probe.
Investigations after mass
shootings often reveal mul-
tiple things that could have
been handled better both
during the bloodshed and
in the months or years
leading up to them. Daniel
Oates, who was the police
chief in Aurora, Colorado,
during the 2012 mass shoot-
ing there, said law enforce-
ment officials would scru-
tinize any missteps, but he
cautioned against drawing
conclusions until these in-
vestigations have been con-
ducted.
“Everyone just needs
to remember, that en-
tire community, including
those first responders, are
all victims, and they’re go-
ing to live with this for the
rest of their lives, and its
very painful,” Oates, who is
now the police chief in Mi-
ami Beach, said in an in-
terview. “Everyone’s going
to ask themselves, ‘Could I
have done something differ-
ently?’ “

Governors skeptical of Congress, but welcome new gun debate

By Ken Thomas
and Zeke Miller
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON >> Governors
assessing the fallout from
the latest school shooting
said Saturday that the gun
control debate has changed
after the sorrow in Florida,
a shift helped driven by
public outrage and student
activists.
But they are skeptical
Congress can seize the mo-
ment, overcome its parti-
san divide and enact mea-
sures intended to prevent
more tragedies, so gover-
nors are preparing to take
the lead and have states
push ahead with new gun
restrictions.
The Feb. 14 shooting at
Marjory Stoneman Doug-
las High School in Park-
land, Florida, that claimed
17 lives is drawing much
of the attention at the Na-
tional Governors Associa-
tion meeting in Washing-
ton. School safety and gun
violence are expected to
dominate the governors’
discussions Monday with
President Donald Trump
at the White House.
“There’s no question
we’re in a different envi-
ronment,” said Gov. Bill
Haslam, R-Tenn. “There’s
a lot of folks looking like,
is it common sense to rule
out someone to buy a beer
at 20, but we’ll let him buy
an assault rifle?”
Trump has not made
any proposals to Congress.
He spent much of the past
week voicing support for
strengthening federal back-
ground checks of gun buy-
ers, banning “bump stock”
type devices like the ones
used in last year’s Las Ve-
gas massacre, and keeping
assault weapons out of the
hands of anyone under age
21.
In public discussions last
week with students and
teachers, state and local
cealed firearms. “Armed Ed-
ucators (and trusted people
who work within a school)
love our students and will
protect them. Very smart
people. Must be firearms
adept & have annual train-
ing. Should get yearly bo-
nus. Shootings will not hap-
pen again — a big & very in-
expensive deterrent. Up to
States.”
Democratic governors
at the conference said they
had little faith that Trump,

The Democratic gov-
ernors of New York, New
Jersey, Connecticut and
Rhode Island announced
a partnership last week to
address gun violence. The
agreement would allow the
governors to share data on
suspects and gun purchas-
ers
“Congress needs to act
but we’re not going to sit
around and wait for them
to act. We’re taking action
on our own to keep people
safe,” said Gov. Gina Rai-
mondo, D-R.I.
Even Republican lead-
ers fretted about the pros-
pects for progress in Con-
gress, which failed to pass
gun control or background
check legislation after the
Connecticut shooting and
has long ground to a halt on
issues such as health care
and immigration.

PROCESSION
Admirers salute Billy Graham as motorcade crosses state
By Allen G. Breed
The Associated Press
CHARLOTTE, N.C. >> Admir-
ers took photos on their
phones, fire trucks parked
on freeway overpasses and
police officers saluted as
a motorcade carrying the
body of the Rev. Billy Gra-
ham crossed the evange-
list’s beloved home state
of North Carolina for four
hours Saturday from his
mountain chapel to name-
sake library in the state’s
largest city.
Residents in some of
Graham’s most cherished
places paid tribute to
“America’s Pastor,” starting
at the training center oper-
ated by his evangelistic as-
sociation in Asheville. The
motorcade rolled through
Black Mountain, where he
shopped and caught trains,
and Montreat, where he
lived.
Well-wishers lined side-
walks and medians as the
motorcade reached Char-
lotte. Pallbearers, followed
by family, carried the cof-
fin into the Billy Graham Li-
brary, which will serve as a
backdrop for the funeral.
Franklin Graham said he
was fulfilling a promise to
his father to bring the body
to Charlotte. He said he was
overwhelmed by “the out-
pouring of love.”
Leighton Ford, the evan-
gelist’s brother-in-law, said
the procession brought
gratitude and tinge of sad-
ness.
“I think he’d say, ‘It’s
not about me. It’s about
the Lord,’” said Ford. “I re-

PARTY POLITICS
Indictment of Missouri
governor could have
political ripples
By David A. Lieb, Jim
Salter and Blake Nelson
The Associated Press
JEFFERSON CITY, MO. >> It
didn’t take long after Mis-
souri Gov. Eric Greitens was
indicted for alleged inva-
sion of privacy for Missouri
Democrats to tie him to At-
torney General Josh Haw-
ley, the presumed GOP front
runner in Missouri’s hotly
contested U.S. Senate race.
Nor did it take long for
Republicans to link the pros-
ecutor who announced the
charges to a prominent na-
tional Democratic financier.
The quick injection of
politics was a strong sign
that Greitens’ potentially
prolonged legal battle stem-
ming from an extramarital
affair could have implica-
tions for the 2018 elections
— especially for fellow Re-
publicans whom history
suggests have a disadvan-
tage as the party in power
during the midterm of Don-
ald Trump’s presidency.
So far, Greitens, 43, has
remained defiant against
growing but not-yet-over-
whelming calls to resign
from some fellow Republi-
cans, while instead portray-
ing the felony charge against
him as nothing more than
a political jab by a “reckless
liberal prosecutor.”
The Missouri Republican
Party noted that St. Louis
circuit attorney Kim Gard-
ner had received more than
$200,000 from wealthy lib-
eral financier George Soros
during her campaign — cast-
ing the indictment as part of
a broader Democratic attack
on Republicans.
The Thursday indictment
came just five days ahead of
Tuesday’s start of the candi-
dacy filing period for Mis-
souri residents wanting to
run for U.S. Senate, Con-
gress, and state and local
offices. Hawley is challeng-
ing Missouri Democratic
Sen. Claire McCaskill.
An incumbent governor
typically is a help to his
party in races such as the
Senate, but an indicted one
could be a detriment.
“It doesn’t help the image
of the Republican Party, so
in that sense it helps Mc-
Caskill and hurts Hawley”
in the Senate race, said Ken
Warren, a longtime politi-
cal scientist at Saint Louis
University.
The Missouri Senate race
us he was riding out on the
platform with Billy, and ev-
erybody was cheering, and
Billy said, ‘Wait a minute.
It’s not about us. It’s about
Him.’”
Gra ha m, who d ied
Wednesday at his home in
North Carolina’s mountains
at age 99, reached hun-
dreds of millions of listen-
ers around the world with
his rallies and his pioneer-
ing use of television.
A viewing will be held at
the library in Charlotte on
Monday and Tuesday. Gra-
ham will also lie in honor
in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda
on Wednesday and Thurs-
day, the first time a private
citizen has been accorded
such recognition since civil
rights hero Rosa Parks in
2005.
The procession was part
of more than a week of
mourning that culminates
with his burial Friday.
Adults and children
stood behind wooden bar-
ricades and yellow tape
along a route that included
parts of Interstate 40. A
man played bagpipes at
a highway rest area near
Marion, where an overpass
was draped with flags from
about 15 nations. In Black
Mountain, a group sang
“Amazing Grace.”
“He has never really rev-
eled in all of the celebrity.
It’s come with the terri-
tory,” said Joe Tyson, a fam-
ily friend who runs a furni-
ture store in Black Moun-
tain, where he watched the
procession.
The library in Charlotte
was closed but admirers
came to watch and lay flow-
ers.
“He was so bold, he so
is being closely watched as
one that could determine
control of the chamber,
where Republicans now
have a bare majority of 51
seats. McCaskill is one of
only two statewide-elected
Democrats in Missouri,
which Donald Trump car-
ried by nearly 20 percent-
age points in 2016. Repub-
licans got behind Hawley
early after a disastrous 2012
campaign when McCaskill
defeated Todd Akin follow-
ing his comments about “le-
gitimate rape.”
Whether Democrats can
effectively tie Greitens to
Hawley remains to be seen.
But indications are that
they will try.
On Friday, The Missouri
Democratic Party noted
that Hawley had accepted
nearly $50,000 in contribu-
tions from Greitens in 2016
and has not called on Gre-
itens to resign. The attor-
ney general is conducting
an investigation over Gre-
itens’ use of a secretive app
that deletes messages once
they’ve been read. It’s un-
clear when the investiga-
tion will conclude.
Hawley took to Twit-
ter on Friday and, without
mentioning Greitens, noted
that an indictment “is a se-
rious matter” with no place
for partisanship. He also ex-
pressed support for a newly
announced legislative in-
vestigation into the gover-
nor, saying he’s confident
“the House’s investigation
will be thorough and swift,
and will proceed without
regard to party.”
That House investigation
could serve as a first step for
impeachment proceedings
against Greitens, though
it also could determine he
has done nothing warrant-
ing his removal from office.
University of Missouri
political science profes-
sor Peverill Squire said the
38-year-old Hawley is in a
“very awkward” spot.
“As the state’s chief legal
officer, he has to not appear
to question the veracity of
the legal process and cer-
tainly be supportive of pros-
ecutorial staff,” Squire said.
“The other problem is, of
course, he’s sort of the other
young and up and coming
Republican, and although
he obviously doesn’t wish
to get confused with Greit-
ens, it’ll be hard for him to
distinguish himself.”

Our dear friend Mary Da-
vis McGrory of Mill Valley
died January 26, 2018, in
peace and surrounded by
loving friends and family.
A resident of Mill Valley
since the mid-1970’s, Mary
was born 11/10/1943 in
Far Rockaway, Long Island,
one of the first generation
of Newfoundlanders who
came to the United States
during WWII. Raised by her
mother Margaret and ex-
tended Newfoundland clan,
she graduated from Hewlett
High School, Katherine
Gibbs School in New York,
and finished her BA in
Management at St. Mary’s
College in Moraga, CA
years later as a working
woman. After working at
ABC in New York, then
jobs in Sarasota and Siesta
Key, FL, her career always
found her applying her
finely-honed administrative
skills to a wide variety
of businesses, including
Zellerbach Paper Company,
expert witness firm LECG,
I. Magnin, and Dominican
University Nursing Depart-
ment. Ever inventive, in a
career shift she trained to
be an electrologist and had
her own firm in San Rafael
for 10 years.
Mary was a long time tap
dancer and beloved mem-
ber of the Mill Valley Hap-
py Feet Dance School com-
munity. Beginning in 1979
she attended her weekly
classes until four weeks
before her death. In addi-
tion to her love of tap
dancing and the camarader-
ie of her classmates, for the
past 20 years Mary served
as Technical Manager for
every Happy Feet recital
at the Marin Center and
College of Marin. With her
headset in place and calm
demeanor, she called every
stage, lighting and sound
cue for hundreds of danc-
ers. The Happy Feet com-
munity will be forever
grateful for her talent, gen-
erosity, and friendship.
Mary’s favorite toast was
one she lived: “To friends
who are family, and family
who are friends!” She is
survived by a wide com-
munity of Bay Area friends,
nephews Chris, Paul, and
Matthew Koch, niece
Melanie Koch Gargiule,
their spouses and children,
her beloved family on the
East Coast and Newfound-
land, friends in Florida

Peggy Ames Hall
A 78 year resident of
Sausalito, CA passed away
February 19th, 2018 at the
celebrated age of 99.
Peggy was born to the
loving parents Howard and
Anna Ames on October 8th,
1918 in Selah, WA. She
grew up the baby sister of
Marshall and Donald Ames
and attended Selah High
School. In 1943, she
married the love of her life
Willard “Red” Hall. Togeth-
er they welcomed their
darling son Bill in 1946
in Seattle, WA. The family
dreamed of a new and
modern life in the
Bay Area, settling and
building a beautiful home
in Sausalito, CA.
Sausalito and Marin meant
so much to Peggy. She was
an avid Sausalito communi-
ty member. She loved her
Christ Episcopal Church
with all her heart, as well
as the Sausalito Little
League. Peggy was a
beloved and honorary
member of the Sausalito
Women’s Club for 68 years.
Her home was a source of
true happiness as she
brought to life the ever-
changing landscape with
her love of gardening.
Peggy filled the home
with beautiful memories
through many events and
parties, especially hosting
her bridge girls for their
weekly competitive games,
which she often won until
her resting day. Fourth of
July parties were not to be
missed, and in 2004 Peggy
rode in the Sausalito 4th of
July Parade as an outstand-
ing community member.
Peggy was a devoted fan
of the three time World
Champions San Francisco
Giants and the five time
World Champions SF 49ers.

in-law Jeanne Hall, two
grandsons Billy and

worked in public and
private law practice in the
Bay Area. His final position
was senior staff attorney for
the California Commission

Jay lived his
with thoughtful conviction,
life
grace, and searching
self-awareness. He loved
beauty, simplicity and com-
plex ideas. He cherished
friendship, and was gener-
ous with his time and treas-
ure. He believed that death
is the ultimate reconcilia-
tion of life, especially a life
consciously lived.
Jean M. Foster
Jean M. Foster of Novato,
California died at her home
on November 16, 2017,
following a short illness.
Although a resident of
Novato for many years,
Jean never lost her love for
northern Minnesota. Born
on January 28, 1924, Jean
lived in the Mitchell loca-
tion near Hibbing as a child
and young adult, graduat-
ing from Hibbing High
School. Jean later attended
Hibbing Junior College, and
resided in Nashwauk and
Buffalo (both in Minneso-
ta), as well as in Novato
while raising her family.
Jean was blessed with
deep intelligence and wit,
which never diminished
during her 93 years. She
was an excellent contract
bridge player and a vora-
cious reader. Over the
years she enjoyed antique
collecting, managing a bucket list even in the past few years when he was only

her husband, Gene Foster,
owned in Napa, spending
time with family and

The family wishes to
thank the professional staff
at Kaiser Permanente for
their excellent care. In
particular, we are grateful
to Dr. Conant for his
exceptional care of Jean
over many years, and to
Dr. Denham for her com-
passionate presence and
support during the last day
of Jean’s life.
A memorial luncheon will
be held in Novato. Inurn-
ment and a luncheon in
Hibbing will take place this
spring for family and close
friends.
This obituary is a bit
longer than Jean wanted it
to be. She would not be
pleased.

As Olympics wrap up, still
no coverage in North Korea
By Eric Talmadge
The Associated Press
PYEONGCHANG, SOUTH KO-
REA >> While hundreds of
millions of the world’s peo-
ple get ready to watch the
closing ceremony of the Py-
eongchang Winter Olym-
pics on Sunday, North Ko-
reans are still waiting to
see the first event.
The lack of news at home
is a stark contrast with how
North Korea’s made-for-
the-cameras delegation at
the games, replete with
hundreds of cheerleaders
and even one of the coun-
try’s most popular singers,
has been a big hit with the
South Korean media and
some of the hottest Inter-
net clickbait of the entire
games.
North Korea’s state-run
media has never been es-
pecially devoted to cov-
ering international news
events. Their job is more
about hailing Kim Jong
Un and whatever the ruling
regime’s latest propaganda
message might be. On that
front they have stayed true
to form: The only reports
from Pyeongchang as of
Saturday afternoon were
about the visit of Kim’s
younger sister and North
Korea’s nominal head of
state to attend the open-
ing ceremony.
Even taking into account
the North’s reluctance to
portray South Korea in a
positive light, the blackout
is a bit mysterious.
Kim Jong Un himself
used his annual televised
New Year’s address to wish
for the games’ success and
announce the North’s plan
to participate, prompting
officials from both Koreas
to make a major effort so
that Pyongyang could send
more than 500 people, in-
cluding 22 athletes and 21
reporters (none of whose
work has been seen).
The North’s gambit
Come see how
easy (and fun!)
it is to

North Korean cheerleaders perform during the first run of the women’s slalom at the
2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, Friday.
largely worked. Its all-fe-
male cheering squad and
the singing performances
piqued the interest of Olym-
pic fans worldwide, though
the athletes, mostly young
and inexperienced in in-
ternational events, won no
medals and struggled just
to keep up.
“North Korean athletes
are competing on the world
stage, even if they’re not
winning,” said Martyn Wil-
liams, a North Korea media
watcher and creator of the
North Korea Tech website.
“So the lack of a mention is
mystifying.”
Williams said North Ko-
rea broadcast coverage of
every Olympics going back
to the 2004 Athens Sum-
mer Games, missing only
the Vancouver Winter
Olympics in 2010. He said
there may have been more,
but that’s as far as he is able
to confirm.
Previous Olympics gen-
erally got occasional re-
ports, with a focus on the
achievements of North Ko-
rean athletes, one or two
days after the actual com-
CHARLIE RIEDEL — THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
petition.
This time around, Wil-
liams said he has yet to see
a “single second” of Olym-
pics coverage on KCTV, the
primary broadcaster.
“Last weekend’s ‘Inter-
national Sports News’ pro-
gram featured a cycle race
from Dubai, European bas-
ketball and European foot-
ball, but no Olympics,” he
noted. “In the evening
news each evening, the
Olympics have not been
mentioned except in the
context of the North Ko-
rean party delegation at-
tending events. Even then,
no video has been broad-
cast. It’s been covered with
still images.”
The absence of video
might suggest a rights’ is-
sue — which is a legalistic
can of worms.
Two people involved
with Olympic broadcast
rights for the SBS network,
initially the official rights
holder for the whole penin-
sula, said their network re-
turned rights for the North
to broadcast the games di-
rectly to the International
Olympic Committee, but
were not sure if Pyongyang
had requested permission
to use them. Previously,
the North would have gone
through the non-profit
Asia-Pacific Broadcasting
Union, but concerns over
possible sanctions viola-
tions might have made the
IOC route more feasible.
Even so, broadcast rights
restrict only video and re-
porting done within IOC-
designated venues. Reports
from “outside the rings” are
fair game.
The country’s newspa-
pers and its state-run news
agency, KCNA, have also
steered clear of the games,
though written stories and
still photographs are not
subject to the same restric-
tions as television. KCNA’s
top stories Saturday after-
noon were — typically — a
report about the anniver-
sary of Kim Jong Il’s birth
being observed last month
in Russia, Mongolia and
Guinea, and another about
Kim Jong Un’s work being
posted on an African web-
site.

PYEONGCHANG GAMES
Ivanka Trump at Olympics
for politics, to back athletes
By Errin Haines Whack
The Associated Press
PYEONGCHANG, SOUTH KO-
REA >> U.S. President Donald
Trump’s daughter toured
the 2018 Winter Olympics
on Saturday, the morning
after telling South Korea’s
president that she would use
her visit to the Pyeongchang
Games to advocate maxi-
mum pressure on North Ko-
rea to halt its nuclear pro-
gram.
Ivanka Trump, one of
her father’s close advisers
and a winter sports enthu-
siast herself, is leading the
U.S. delegation at Sunday’s
closing ceremony for the Py-
eongchang Games. Under
cloudy skies, she watched
her first event Saturday
morning — Big Air snow-
boarding — before heading
over to the American team’s
headquarters, USA House,
to interact with some Olym-
pians.
Among those she met:
Garrett Hines, a former
U.S. bobsledder and Army
reservist.
“I heard you are part of
the reserves. That’s incred-
ible,” Trump said. “Thank
you for your service, and
thank you for serving as an
inspiration to so many peo-
ple in this capacity.”
Before coming to the
Olympic city in northeast-
ern South Korea, Trump
met and dined in the capi-
tal with South Korean Pres-
ident Moon Jae-in, who
highlighted to her how the
Olympics have served as a
vehicle for dialogue between
the two Koreas. Moon said
the U.S. and South Korea
should make use of the cur-
rent mood of rapprochement
between the Koreas in seek-
ing denuclearization.
At a closed-door meet-
ing before a banquet Fri-
day night at the presiden-
tial compound, Moon told
Trump that talks on denu-
clearization and the inter-
Korean dialogue must move
forward side by side, Moon’s
press secretary, Yoon Young-
chan, told reporters.

pushing for joint efforts by
the U.S. and South Korea to
apply maximum pressure on
North Korea, Yoon said.
The meeting and Olym-
pic visit come as the Trump
administration announced
sanctions on more than 50
vessels, shipping companies
and trade businesses to turn
up the pressure on North
Korea. U.S. officials said the
president had discussed the
action with Moon ahead of
the announcement in Wash-
ington.
Differences in how the
U.S. and South Korea hope
to achieve denuclearization
were apparent during the
banquet. In her remarks,
Ivanka Trump said she was
in South Korea to celebrate
the Olympics and to reaf-
firm the U.S. commitment to
a “maximum pressure cam-
paign to ensure that the Ko-
rean Peninsula is denuclear-
ized.”
Moon, for his part, hopes
to make the Olympics an
avenue for peace on the di-
vided Korean Peninsula.
In Pyeongchang on Satur-
day, Trump toured Olympic
venues. She watched snow-
boarders go on runs at the
Big Air jump and saw Amer-
ican snowboarder Kyle Mack
take a silver medal.
A smiling Trump, wear-
ing a Team USA hat and
red snowsuit, chatted with
members of her delegation

her was IOC board member

of which have also been
bombed. Activists say that
terrified residents have been

The latest wave of bomb-
ings came after the U.N.
Security Council delayed
a vote on a resolution de-
manding a 30-day human-
itarian cease-fire for two
days to try to get Russia on
board.
Russia’s U.N. Ambassa-
dor Vassily Nebenzia had
repeatedly called an imme-
diate cease-fire unrealistic.
In a bid to get Russian
support, sponsors Kuwait
and Sweden amended the
draft resolution late Fri-
day to drop a demand that
the cease-fire take effect 72
hours after the resolution’s
adoption.
After two hours of addi-
tional negotiations on Sat-
urday, the Security Council
unanimously approved a
resolution demanding a 30-
day cease-fire across Syria

Manafort indictment sparks
hunt for Europeans paid to lobby
By Dmytro Vlasov
The Associated Press
KIEV, UKRAINE >> A new in-
dictment against former
Donald Trump campaign
chief Paul Manafort focused
a spotlight Saturday on un-
covering the former Euro-
pean leaders who prosecu-
tors contend were secretly
paid by Manafort to lobby
on behalf of Ukraine.
The U.S. indictment
handed up Friday by a grand
jury doesn’t name the Euro-
pean politicians, although it
notes they worked in coor-
dination with Manafort,
his deputy Rick Gates and
two Washington lobbying
firms — the Podesta Group
and Mercury Public Affairs
— to lobby U.S. officials and
lawmakers.
At least four leaders —
former Italian Prime Min-
ister Romano Prodi, former
Austrian Chancellor Alfred
Gusenbauer, former Polish
President Aleksander Kwas-
niewski and former Ukrai-
nian President Viktor Yush-
chenko — were named last
year in public filings by
the two lobbying firms.
The firms said the politi-
cians were involved in U.S.
speaking events and meet-
ings with U.S. lawmak-
ers and others to promote
Manafort’s client at the
time, Ukraine’s pro-Mos-
cow president, Viktor Yan-
ukovych.
The filings did not dis-
close any payments to the
former officials, and it’s un-
clear if they are the same
politicians referenced in the
U.S. indictment.
U.S. law requires peo-
ple who are lobbying U.S.
officials on behalf of for-
eign governments or polit-
ical parties to register, and
a Justice Department da-
tabase doesn’t show that
those former European of-
ficials did.
But it’s unclear from the
U.S. indictment how much
the former European pol-
iticians knew about their
funding or if they could be
covered by some legal ex-
emption.
The lobbying by the Eu-
ropean political figures,
identified in the indictment
as the “Hapsburg Group,”
allegedly took place in

Katie Killebrew teaches yoga at BodyVibe Studio in San Rafael.
BEND AND BREATHE
San Rafael woman transitions from
synchronized swimming to yoga
By Colleen Bidwill >> cbidwill@marinij.com
Katie Killebrew believes yoga should not be
competitive. It shouldn’t matter what out-
fit you wear or how many handstands and
push-ups you can do. But she’s taken yoga
classes where that was the case.
While Killebrew is no
stranger to competition, — she
is a national and world cham-
pion in synchronized swim-
ming — she doesn’t bring it
into her yoga classes at Body-
Vibe Studio.
After she received her
teacher training in Bali, she
landed about two months ago
at the San Rafael studio and
teaches yin, chair and sun-
shine yoga.
The 50-year-old San Ra-
fael resident also volunteers to
teach yoga at Via West, a resi-
dential respite care in Cuper-
tino for children, teens and
adults with special needs.

tion to yoga? A It’s your own body. It’s

cent curvature in my spine.

I was like, OK, I have to do
yoga even more now for my
spine. I was really doing it
for myself for cross training
for my synchronized swim-
ming, which made me a bet-
ter synchronized swimmer
than I ever was in my 20s,
but I was keeping up with it
because I want to be physi-
cally fit for my spine.
Q What’s a lesson that you

dents?

own mat. This is your own

is not competitive at all; it’s

REVIEW
Highly stimulating
history of the sex toy
‘Buzz’ explores
colorful characters
who shaped industry
By Vicky Hallett
The Washington Post
Powerful men have done a
lot of vile things in the work-
place. But of all the stories
that have recently emerged,
the one that really irritates
Hallie Lieberman is the ac-
cusation that former “Today”
show host Matt Lauer once
gave his colleague a sex toy
with a note about wanting to
use it on her.
Lieberman has devoted
her career to the study of sex
toys and their positive im-
pact on people’s lives. It’s
a subject she discusses at
length in her recently pub-
lished book, “Buzz” (384
pages, Pegasus, $26.95).
Vibrators and other sex
toys can help people get
more comfortable with their
bodies and achieve pleasure,
Lieberman says, and that’s a
wonderful thing — in one’s
personal life. “I’m a big fan
of sending sex toys as gifts,”
she says in a phone interview
from her home in Atlanta.
“But don’t send them to your
employee.”
The same advice proba-
bly holds for Lieberman’s
book, which is based on her
doctoral dissertation for the
University of Wisconsin and
picks up the subject a very,
very long time ago.
Dating to Ice Age
“Before humans invented
writing or the wheel, we had
invented dildos,” notes Li-
eberman, who explains that
archaeologists have dis-
covered phallic-shaped ob-
jects dating back to the Ice
Age. In a chapter surveying
about 30,000 years, Lieber-
man points out that dildos
appear in paintings in an-
cient Egypt, in several works
by Greek dramatist Aristo-
phanes and in the advice-
packed pages of the Kama
Sutra. In the 17th century,
they appeared in British po-
etry and Japanese woodblock
prints. Among the archives
of the Smithsonian’s National
Museum of American His-
tory, where Lieberman was
a fellow several years ago,
she found an early 20th-cen-
tury device for inducing male
pleasure.
Despite this lengthy her-
itage, sex toys have man-
aged to stay relatively un-
der cover(s). This taboo is
what first attracted Lieber-
man to the subject. The pref-
ace of “Buzz” recounts a fam-
ily vacation when she was 10
years old and discovered an
odd zippered pouch in the
hotel dresser. She showed off
REVIEW
Mann explores the future of food on our planet
By Taylor Brorby
Newsday
In his new book, “The Wiz-
ard and the Prophet: Two Re-
markable Scientists and Their
Dueling Visions to Shape To-
morrow’s World” (616 pages, Al-
fred A. Knopf, $28.95), Charles
C. Mann, author of “1491” and
“1493,” wrestles with one of the
central questions facing hu-
mans today: How do we feed
ourselves on a planet where
the population is projected to
reach 10 billion by 2050? In an
attempt to highlight potential
models of how to answer this
question, Mann turns to two
men of the past century: Nor-
man Borlaug and William Vogt.
Borlaug, whom Mann la-
bels a “Wizard,” is responsi-
ble, along with the Rockefeller feed the world’s growing pop-
Foundation, for the Green Rev- ulation.

day’s modern genetically mod- trum, Mann explores the lesser- val research, travel and inter-

parents, who immediately

she wash her hands.
The memory lingered with
Lieberman during her for-
mative years in the 1990s in
Florida. One day, the then-
16-year-old Lieberman took
a peek inside a store called
Adult Fun, which beckoned
with its blacked-out windows
from a seedy strip mall. In-
side, she gaped at a wall of
erotic merchandise, shelves
of publications with unprint-
able titles — and an employee
from her school district.
Baffled and intrigued
Lieberman was baffled as
much as she was intrigued.
“Wasn’t sex supposed to just
work?” she wondered. Why
would anyone need to spend
money on extra stuff? Nev-
ertheless, Lieberman de-
cided not to walk out empty-
handed.
“Before humans
invented writing or
the wheel, we had
invented dildos.”
—Hallie Lieberman
Her fascination lingered,
less a prurient interest than
an academic one. As a grad-
uate student in advertising

Austin in the early 2000s, Li-

eberman became a sales rep
for a company that threw
Tupperware-like parties at
customers’ homes. Except in-
stead of selling nifty plastic-
ware, they hawked sex toys.
But there was one big prob-
lem: Selling these items in
Texas was illegal. To avoid
arrest and fines, Lieberman
had to stick with code lingo
and say that the products
were sold strictly for “artis-
tic, educational and scientific
purposes.”
The situation struck Li-
eberman as bizarre, which is
why she started digging into
how that law ended up on the
books. Before long, she was
researching the rise of vice
crusaders and the govern-
ment’s role in regulating sex
toys, as well as the develop-
ment of key sex-toy technolo-
gies, including rubber vulca-
nization and electricity.
Initially, her plan for
“Buzz” was to offer an in-
depth examination of objects,
not people, Lieberman says.
But readers will find that the
majority of her book is ded-
icated to a colorful cast of
characters who have shaped
the sex-toy industry in Amer-
ica since the 1950s.
‘Dummy to dildos’
One of Lieberman’s favor-
ites is Ted Marche, a ventril-
oquist who, as she puts it,
“went from a dummy to dil-
dos.” Marche was also an en-

enthood Federation of America.
Vogt’s bestselling 1948 book,
“Road to Survival”, shaped a
generation of thinkers, and out-
lined future issues with over-
population.
The Wizards’ mantra, Mann
argues, is “Innovate! Innovate!”
Wizards advocate for techno-
logical solutions to our prob-
lems whereas Prophets argue
for restraint while “decrying
the consequences of our heed-
lessness.”
Mann’s book devotes two in-
troductory chapters to Borlaug
and Vogt before applying their
differing views to the four ar-
eas of “Earth: Food,” “Water:
Freshwater,” “Fire: Energy”
(Why Mann uses this compli-
cated nomenclature is unclear.)

BOOK REVIEW
The method in author’s ‘Madness’
By Ron Charles
The Washington Post
Ned Beauman’s new
novel, “Madness Is Bet-
ter Than Defeat” (399
pages, Knopf, $27.95) be-
gins with a wrestling
match between a man
and an octopus, which
offers a fair warning of
what it feels like to get
wrapped up in this tenta-
cled book. Just when you
think you’ve got a handle
on his shapeshifting plot,
Beauman sprays more ink
and leaves you wonder-
ing where he’s darted off
to next.
For fans of this effer-
vescent writer, such con-
fusion is an elixir. In 2013, humor! The humor!”
Beauman’s second novel,
“The Teleportation Ac-
cident,” was longlisted
for the Booker Prize, and
Granta named him one

Route 66 began its iconic life in 1926 as simple dirt roads
that stretched across the country before being completely
paved in 1938.
The road stretched more than 2,400 miles through eight
states: Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New
Mexico, Arizona and California. From its starting point in Chi-
cago to its terminus in Santa Monica, this was the main artery
that connected the Midwest to the destinations in the West. It
brought the “Okies” escaping the Oklahoma Dust Bowl during
the Depression to California in hopes of finding jobs, as well as
those looking to explore America by car after World War II.
U.S. 66 was dotted with small towns eager to serve travel-
ers. Service stations, motels and restaurants thrived in its hey-
day, from the 1930s to the ’50s. Roadside attractions became
part of its lore. From odd monuments and giant sculptures to
art deco diners, bridges and buildings, it gave drivers a look at
what we now refer to as Americana.
When Route 66 became too popular and crowded, President
Dwight D. Eisenhower signed into law the 1956 National Inter-
state and Defense Highways Act, which brought the sprawling
interstate highway system we know today. As the new, modern
freeway system was built, it bypassed many of the small towns
that once thrived on Route 66. Without the Mother Road as
their lifeblood, some towns just couldn’t survive, and they
slowly died. Route 66 was officially decommissioned and
removed from the National Highway System in 1985.
Popularized in songs, movies and television shows, the offi-
cial 66 road markers may be gone, but the road is certainly not
forgotten. Route 66 associations, towns and civic groups are
keeping the route alive with new Route 66 markers along the
old highway. The original road is still drivable along most of its
length, and the towns that were left forgotten by the advent of
the modern freeways are trying to keep the nostalgia alive and
celebrate its history. As you drive through them, many stores
and restaurants are named after Route 66, trying to attract
weary travelers just like in its heyday.
For more information on Route 66, visit the National
Park Service website at nps.gov/nr/travel/route66.

The Rainbow Bridge, built in 1923 over Brush Creek

near Baxter Springs, Kansas, is the sole surviving
structure of its type along the route.

Five buried Volkswagen Beetles at the Slug Bug

Ranch in Conway, Texas, poke a little fun at the
Cadillac Ranch in nearby Amarillo. It’s one of many
quirky roadside attractions along Route 66.

GIRLS SOCCER PLAYOFFS

Branson goalie comes up clutch

Manthouli saves three penalties as Bulls claim third straight title
By Ian Ross
iross@marinij.com
@IRossMIJ on Twitter
Goalie Athena Manthouli watched
from midfield twice last season as
then-teammate and co-goalkeeper
Gwyer Unsworth took center stage
during penalty-kick shootouts that led
to postseason pennants for the Bran-
son School girls soccer team.
Two weeks ago, the Bulls (20-0-
3) were unsuccessful in a penalty-
kick shootout in the MCAL title game
against Tam with Manthouli in goal
but, as fate would have it, Manthouli
would get another chance in the North
Coast Section Division IV final against
Piedmont on Saturday.
Manthouli saved three consecutive
penalties to begin the shootout then
watched Maegen Dillon and Marina
Andreadis convert on kicks for Bran-
son before Piedmont’s fifth and final
kick went high. That miss cinched
the third consecutive section title
for Branson, which won the shoot-
out 2-1 after going 1-1 in regulation
and overtime.
“What a special moment for a se-
nior to have,” Branson coach Tyler
Gottschalk said of Manthouli. “Ob-
viously last year we won two finals
in penalties but she was standing at
midfield with her teammates watch-
ing Gwyer have the opportunity to
step up and make the big play. For
her to be in there today and make the
saves that she did was unbelievable.”
Manthouli guessed right three
times in a row and gave her team-
mates enough time to find their form
after Branson also missed its two first
two penalties.
“It’s honestly the most amazing
feeling ever,” Manthouli said. “I’m
so excited. It’s my senior year so I
wanted to win obviously after hav-
ing lost the MCAL finals. Just a huge
moment and I wanted to come out
for my team.” DOUGLAS ZIMMERMAN — SPECIAL TO MARIN INDEPENDENT JOURNAL

BOYS SOCCER PLAYOFFS NBA

Wildcats take to the win KD leads

Marin Academy’s Stefan Jung (13) heads a ball while playing against Saint Mary’s in the NCS Division IV boys soccer championship at
Marin Catholic High School on Saturday.
By Ian Ross

@irossmij on Twitter
The Marin Academy High
boys soccer team opted to play
into the wind throughout the
first half. After getting to half-
time with a scoreless game, the
Wildcats wasted no time in tak-
ing the wind out of Saint Mary’s
sails in the second half.
Giancarlo De Petris scored
two minutes into the second
half, Kami Jamasbi added a sec-
ond and the Wildcats kept the
Panthers at bay over the final 25
minutes to see out a comfortable
2-0 victory in the North Coast
Section Division IV champion-
ship game.
The victory was the second
section title in a row for Marin
Academy (13-1-4) and the fifth

victory in eight consecutive trips
to a section title game. Both
teams advance to the NorCal
Championships, which start on
March 6.
“It’s really an amazing feel-
ing, it’s kind of hard to put into
words right now,” Marin Acad-
emy captain Stefan Jung said.
“Just as a collective group, we
had a great game and we were
able to keep the ball and play
it around our back and through
our midfield and up to our front
line. We were able to break down
the other team. As a group we
had an unreal day and it’s def-
initely one I’ll remember for a
long time.”

Warriors in
intense rout
By Janie Mccauley
The Associated Press
OAKLAND >> Kevin Durant scored
28 points for Golden State while
avenging an embarrassing home
loss to his former Oklahoma City
team earlier this month and an-
other on the road in Novem-
ber, leading the Warriors past
the Thunder 112-80 on Saturday
night.
Stephen Curry added 21 points
with five 3-pointers, nine re-
bounds, six assists and three
steals as Golden State put on the
kind of defensive performance
coach Steve Kerr has been seek-
ing from the defending champs.
Russell Westbrook had 15
points, 12 rebounds and seven
assists for Oklahoma City, which
failed to reach 100 points for the
first time in the last five games.
The Thunder had scored at least
100 in 14 of their last 16.
Durant’s pretty layup off a per-
fect pass by Curry with 3:06 left in
the third put the Warriors up 75-
66. That was part of a 37-11 Golden
State run that included 30 points
over the final 8:48 of the third —
when Zaza Pachulia subbed in to
relieve JaVale McGee.
The Warriors held Paul George
to five points. George’s 3-pointer
at the 7:52 mark of the third with
Durant’s hand in his face was his
first basket after going 0 for 9 to
begin the game. He finished 1 for
14 after going off for 38 points in
the last meeting when Oklahoma
City left Oracle Arena with a 125-
105 rout on Feb. 6.
Golden State also lost at OKC

Dow places second, punches ticket to state
By Danny Schmidt

UNION CITY >> Two years ago, im-
pressionable sophomore Spencer
Dow watched his older brother,
Riley, place second at the North
Coast Section wrestling cham-
pionships.
So, pr ior to Spencer ’s
160-pound NCS semifinal at
James Logan High on Satur-
day, a match with an automatic
state berth at stake, “all I could
think about was Riley and his
experience.”
The Redwood High senior
won his first four matches at
NCS, including the semifinal,
before eventually losing to De
La Salle’s Ankhaa Enkhman-
dakh in Saturday night’s final.
Dow will represent Marin at
next week’s 46th annual state
championships in Bakersfield.
“It was a little bit of deja vu,”
Dow said of his second-place
finish at NCS, the same as his
brother in 2016. “I followed in
his footsteps and, I guess, came
up clutch when it counted,
punching my ticket to state.”
“So many emotions. It was one
of the best feelings of my life. To
see the four-plus years of work
that I’ve devoted to this sport all
come together, and to get the job
done, it was amazing.”

wind at their backs in the
first half. The Branson girls
opted for the same strategy
in their championship vic-
tory against Piedmont.
“There’s no question
that the wind was a con-
cern for us,” Kalkstein said.
“We won the coin toss and
chose to go into the wind
and really didn’t know what
we were going to get. We
played Saint Mary’s twice
last year but hadn’t seen
them this year. We knew
they were very much an im-
proved side. The last game
we had against them in the
NCS last year was a tough
game. Winning that coin
toss was a pretty impor-
tant piece for us.”
The Panthers (14-4-4)
created the first chance of
the second half as their shot
on target took a deflection
but did little to trouble MA
goalie Jasper Mercy, who
quickly released the ball
downfield so the Wildcats
could catch Saint Mary’s
on the counterattack.
Andoni Etcheverry re-
ceived the ball on the left
wing, made a few moves
to get down the end line
before finding De Petris
inside the 18-yard box.
Et c he ver r y “ h a d a
pretty unreal dribbling
session in the corner and
got down the end line and
just made an easy slot
pass to (DePetris), who
put the ball away,” Jung
said. “That was a huge
game changer because
the momentum immedi-
ately shifted.”
The Wildcats contin-
ued to attack and dou-
bled their advantage in
the 55th minute when De
Petris played a ball out
to Jamasbi, who took a
tough wide to his right
then froze the keeper with
a shot that banged off the
far post and in.

the Bulls had to do endure
something they hadn’t ex-
perienced all season — trail
in a game after Piedmont
(15-4-3) scored on a bicycle
kick that allowed the High-
landers to take a 1-0 lead
into halftime.
“We haven’t trailed since
last season,” Branson for-
ward Callie Jones said. “Ty-
ler said at halftime ‘You
know we haven’t ever been
down so let’s see what we’re
really made of and let’s see
what really happens when
we’re the ones down for
once’.”
Jones — who caused Pied-
mont all kinds of trouble on
the left wing all game long
— was instrumental in the
comeback effort.
The Bulls played a ball
in toward Nye Day inside
the 18-yard box in the 54th
minute. Day flicked it on to

bit and shooting in,” Jones
said.

ing that much this sea-
son and I’ve had a lot of
chances. It’s just good
that I was able to put this

one of the most important

for the remainder of the sec-
ond half.
“The way they create
chances for one another, the
kind of space they are able
to create for each other be-
cause they all have the abil-
ity to take players on one-
versus-one — any time one
is on the ball, the opponent
has to send in bodies to help,”
Gottschalk said. “Those kids
scored so many goals this
year and 90 percent of the
goals they scored were (as-
sisted by) the other ones.
“Their unselfishness and
play-making ability has
been such a huge part of the
team’s success.”
Aside from the last 10
minutes of the opening half
— when Piedmont scored —
but was denied one goal
on a save by Noah Hat-
tevik and another by the
near post.
The Panthers possessed
the ball inside Mar in
Academy’s half for most
of the final eight minutes,
but had little to show for
it. Mercy made one strong
save in the final minute
and the Wildcats saw out
the game comfortably.
“A lot of it comes down
to heart, desire and grit
so it was good to see us
play well,” Kalkstein said.
“Nobody would have said
this was the best game
we played all year but in
games like this, it’s about
being in that trench and
we were there for that.” Marin Academy’s Kami Jamasbi (3) celebrates scoring a goal against Saint Mary’s.
Branson had the lion’s share
of the ball. Despite that edge
in possession and chances,
though, Jones’ shot was the
lone time they could solve
Piedmont goalie Grayson El-
lis in regulation and over-
time.
“I’ve seen her. I went and
watched her play the last
round and you could see
the athleticism, the confi-
dence, how quick off her line
she was, so it didn’t surprise
me to see her play the way
she did,” Gottschalk said of
Ellis. “Obviously it was a bit
frustrating on our bench
because she made some big
plays that forced it to go to
the end.”
Ellis denied Abby Dillon

minute to force overtime
and denied Day on a break-
away in the 97th minute.
“I wish I’d been able to get
a goal during regulation but
she did a good job,” Day said.
“It was hard playing against
her.”
In the end, penalties were
required and the Bulls did
enough to back Manthouli’s
heroics to claim the victory.
“The PK shooters (for
Piedmont) weren’t doing
her any favors,” Day said.
“They were incredible shots
and she still managed to get
behind them. I’m so proud
of the way she played. I al-
ways knew she had it in
her and she brought it to-
day. She brought it when we
needed it.”

HONDA CLASSIC

List takes 1-shot lead with Woods 7 back

By Doug Ferguson
The Associated Press
PALM BEACH GARDENS, FLA.
>> Luke List can understand
why he might be overlooked
in the Honda Classic, even
with a shot at his first PGA
Tour victory.
He felt that Saturday
while taking the lead.
List and Jamie Love-
mark were trading birdies
and keeping clean cards on
the front nine at PGA Na-
tional before an audience of
no more than a few dozen
people. Everyone else was
busy watching Tiger Woods
try to stay close enough to
contention.
“I know I’ll be an under-
dog going against Justin
Thomas and guys like that,
which is fine,” List said.
“It’s kind of nice having Ti-
ger in the field now because
he takes all the attention off
everybody else, so you can
just kind of go out and do
your own thing.”
His thing was strong
enough at PGA National.
List finished with a pair of
birdies around his lone bo-
gey for a 4-under 66, giv-
ing him a one-shot lead over
Thomas and Webb Simp-
son. List was at 7-under 203.
Woods made bogeys on
the notorious par 3s on the
back nine, and finished with
a birdie for a 69. It was the
first time he broke 70 on the
PGA Tour in the 12 rounds
since he first stepped away
with a series of back surger-
ies after the 2015 Wyndham
Championship.
And while only 10 players
were ahead of him, Woods
still was seven shots be-
hind.
“I’ve got a shot going into
tomorrow,” Woods said.
Thomas was never far
away from the lead, and
the final hour changed ev-
erything. The PGA cham-
pion had three birdies over
his last five holes for a 65 to
match the low round of the
toughest tournament this
year on the PGA Tour.
Particularly impressive
was that two of those bird-
ies were on the par-3 15th
and par-3 17th, the second-
and third-toughest holes
at PGA National on Satur-
day. He essentially hit the
same shot, a cut 6-iron into
the wind to right pins and
made 15-footers.
In between those par 3s
was a tough par save when
he hit out of a fairway bun-
ker, into the wind and over
whose round was spoiled by
one shot.
Lovemark holed a chip
for birdie from just off the
12th green to become the
first player to reach 7 under.
On the next hole from the
back of the 13th green, his
chip from 70 feet broke to-
ward the middle of the cup,
dove into the left side and
spun out.
But his 7-iron into the
wind and over the water on
the 15th ballooned in the
air and never had a chance,

held the same week as the
World Golf Championship in
Shanghai. He closed with a
70 and lost out to a 65 by
Cody Gribble.
He says he is under-
standing his tendencies in
his game, and mainly has
learned not to press. Being
consumed with a leader-
board might not be an issue,
not with so many players in
the mix on a golf course that
can strike at any moment.
“I think until you get to
15, it really doesn’t matter to
a certain degree,” List said.
“I’ll try to do my own thing
for most of the day, and then
if there’s something I need
to do in the last four or five
holes, then probably take a
look.”
Woods has been progres-
sively better every day at
PGA National, except for one
hole — a double bogey each
of the last two days — that
slowed him. Saturday was
an exception. He made his
two bogeys on the notorious
par 3s on the back nine, but
he putted for birdie 14 out
of 18 holes, and only one of
those putts was longer than
25 feet.
“Probably the highest
score I could have shot to-
day,” Woods said.

COLLEGE SOFTBALL
Dominican nursing, hitting its way to success
By Ian Ross
iross@marinij.com
@IRossMIJ on Twitter
For nursing majors like
Gaby Katafias and Karitza
Reyes, finding a school
where they could purse
their academic dreams and
also play softball on the side
proved to be a bit of a chal-
lenge.
“All the other schools told
you that you could only do
nursing or you could only
softball,” Katafias said. “You
couldn’t do both, so Domin-
ican was really good. They
understood that academics
was my priority. I was here
to get a degree and soft-
ball was kind of something
I was lucky I could do on
the side.
Katafias estimates that
half the players on the Do-
minican University softball
team are nursing majors
and with that comes the
challenge of trying to jug-
gle a demanding academic
curriculum with weight-
room sessions, practices,
and softball games.
“We pretty much get
asked that a least one time
a week — how do you guys
do it?” Reyes said. “Our an-
swer is always we’re used to
that. That’s our life and we
don’t know anything differ-
ent. That helps in a way, not
knowing what it’s like with-
out softball. We learned
how to deal with it, how
to handle everything and
it definitely helps having
other nurses on the team
and having other nurses
in your class that you have
classes with and clinicals
with just because you have
somebody there for you, to
support you and help you.”
The demands placed on
student athletes who are
also nursing majors can be
pretty significant. Katafias
detailed a typical Wednes-
day for her, which begins
as early as 7 a.m. with a
weight-room session and
is followed by a non-stop
gauntlet of classes (four
hours), practice (two hours)
and more classes (another
five hours) that doesn’t
wrap up until 8 p.m.
“It’s pretty busy, but I’ve
never known a life without
being a student-athlete so

it’s kind of just expected,”
Katafias said.
Road trips to places like
San Diego, Hawaii and Utah
can also present a certain
set of challenges. Nursing
students are only allowed to
miss two classes a year and
sometimes the team has to
travel without its full com-
plement of players.
“When they come (to Do-
minican) they know that
their schedule is going to
be tough and demanding
but that’s what they sign
up for,” Dominican coach
Juliana Santos said. “That
being said, that’s a com-

tunity that Dominican af-

“It’s tough on both ends.
It’s definitely tough for the
girls but it beneficial in the
end.”
Doing homework or
studying during load road

become pretty much stan-
dard for the nursing majors.

she knows we have a big

said. “When we’re doing

5-of-6 from beyond the arc.
He added four rebounds

With Santos taking over

The Penguins are hitting
.285 as a team this season

“Last year I was in charge

GIANTS SPRING TRAINING
Stratton throws 2 scoreless innings for SF

Stratton’s pitch count was
on the rise.
Bruce Bochy sets strict
limits for spring train-
ing games, so Los Angeles
Dodgers second baseman
Chase Utley was probably
Stratton’s last hitter.
Last season, Stratton
might have turned toward
the dugout. When pressure
built up, the right-hander
wanted a tip from a coach
or a clue as to how to get
himself out of a jam. On
Saturday, Stratton never
sought an answer. Matt
Cain helped him break that
habit.
“Cain pulled me aside af-
ter a game and said, ‘Hey
man, be weary about when
you’re looking in because
they think you want them
to come get you,’ ” Strat-
ton said. “Well I definitely
don’t want them to come
get me, and I explained to
him that sometimes Rags
(Dave Righetti) will have
something for you that will
be able to help you out. And
when I explained that to

Cotton turns in best performance
of Oakland’s rotation battle so far
By Martin Gallegos

MESA, ARIZ. >> The Oakland
A’s believe Jharel Cotton
has the raw talent to be a
top of the staff pitcher, but a
struggle with confidence on
the mound last season has
him battling just to make
the rotation this spring. It’s
still early, but Cotton should
definitely gain some confi-
dence after his first outing.
In what was the most
dominant outing of any
A’s starting rotation hope-
ful this spring, Cotton daz-
zled in an 8-3 win over the
Padres on Saturday. Cotton
struck out five of the seven
batters he faced, allowing
just one walk and no hits
over two scoreless innings
and earning the praise of
manager Bob Melvin.
“Jharel was really good
today and not just because
of the strikeouts,” Melvin
said. “We’ve been asking
him to do some things me-
chanically and he did them
today. When you’re out there
trying to perform from day
one, it’s tough to try to go
through some adjustments.
Ultimately, we think it’s
gonna make him better. He
stayed with it today and got
the results on top of it.”
Cotton’s loss of confi-
dence last season came
mainly in his comfort
throwing the changeup af-
ter it would get hit a cou-

can make him nearly unhit-

he plans on throwing more
often this season regardless
of how he’s feeling.

MLB
Clark: Players still concerned about unsigned free agents
By Dave Campbell
The Associated Press
FORT MYERS, FLA. >> Nearly
two full weeks into spring
training, dozens of accom-
plished free agents around
the major leagues are still
unsigned.
There’s a new rule lim-
iting visits to the mound,
too, creating at least some
early confusion about how
to keep track.
So while their collective
bargaining agreement runs
through four more seasons,
I would look in.’ So just be
mindful of that.”
Armed with a newfound
sense of confidence, Strat-
ton reached back and un-
corked a curveball that
buckled Utley’s knees. It
wasn’t a pretty second in-
ning, but thanks to an old
tip from Cain, Stratton
completed his first Cactus
League start without sur-
rendering a run.
The San Francisco Giants
built off of two innings of
scoreless work from Strat-
ton and captured a 9-3 vic-
tory over the Dodgers at
Camelback Ranch on Sat-
urday. Hector Sanchez, Mac
Williamson and Kyle Jensen
all homered while Orlando
Calixte, Gregor Blanco,
Miguel Gomez and Chase
d’Arnaud each recorded
two-hit games.
As several hitters im-
pressed their manager on
Saturday, Stratton’s ability
to escape early jams also
caught Bochy’s eye.
“What a great job (Strat-
ton) did today pitching in
traffic,” Bochy said. “Both
innings he had to make
pitches to get out of and
that’s always a great sign.
I thought he had good stuff
and did a great job. Good
start for him.”
A’s pitcher Jharel Cotton struck out five and allowed no hits over two scoreless innings
against the Padres at Hohokam Stadium on Saturday in Mesa, Ariz.
Fowler will be playing
in his first baseball game
since June 30, 2017, when
he sustained a devastating
knee injury in his major
league debut that ruptured
his right patellar tendon on
a collision with an electri-
cal box down the right field
line in Chicago with the
Yankees.
The gruesome injury oc-
curred in the first inning,
preventing him from get-
ting his first big league at-
bat and requiring season-
ending surgery.
“Make sure we get him
an at-bat!” Melvin said.
Fowler was acquired by
the A’s last July as part of
the deal that sent Sonny
Gray to New York. Af-
ter arriving to Oakland
in crutches, Fowler went
through a long and grueling
rehab process to get back to
full health this spring.
Fowler, 23, was a highly-
touted prospect with the
Yankees and is now pro-
players have been express-
ing more frustration with
owners lately than usual
during an offseason marked
by increased tension be-
tween the sides.
“The goal of collective
bargaining is not labor
peace. It’s a fair and equi-
table deal. Fifteen months
in, we’re seeing things that
we’ve never seen before,
and that raises concerns,”
union leader Tony Clark
said. “We’ll have to figure
out in the near term and in
the longer term how those

Stadium in Scottsdale, Ariz.
Considered a frontrunner
to start at the back end of
the Giants’ rotation, Strat-
ton is working to win one of
the jobs Cain held down at
the beginning of last year.
For the first time since
2005, the Giants will be-
gin a season without the
three-time All-Star in the
dugout. Cain announced

Melvin has been im-
pressed w ith Fowler’s
“smooth” movement in the

role as the everyday leadoff
man in center field is not
guaranteed.
TRIGGS RETURNS >> Andrew
Triggs kept the date of

graved in his mind. It was
soon after that start when
he underwent season-end-

spring feeling fully recov-
ered from the hip injury
during fielding drills and
bullpen sessions, but Sat-
urday’s game against the
Padres was his first chance
to test it out in a real game.
The results were positive.
“It’s reassuring for sure,”
Triggs said. “When you get
that game adrenaline and
there’s someone wearing
a different uniform in the
concerns can be addressed,
because invariably if they
are affecting the industry
adversely, everybody should
have that concern.”
Clark began his annual
tour of camps on Saturday
with Boston. Clark said after
the meeting in the Red Sox
clubhouse that the union’s
special training camp for
free agents in Bradenton
will stay open indefinitely.
About one-third of the 166
players who exercised free
agency rights last November
have not reached a contract
last September, and turned
in a memorable closing act
with five innings of two-hit
ball against the Padres on
the penultimate day of the
regular season.
When Cain walked off
the field at AT&T Park to a
standing ovation last fall,
he took with him the les-
sons and knowledge he ac-
quired over a 13-year career.

and you don’t really know
until you get out there. I
was really pleased with
how everything felt.”
With his only real blem-
ish a two-run home run
surrendered to Franchy
Cordero, Triggs registered
a final line of three hits,
three runs, two strikeouts
and a walk in 1 2/3 innings
pitched, reaching the pitch
limit of 40 set by Melvin.
NUNEZ PULLS HAMSTRING
>> Renato Nunez’s quest to
crack the A’s Opening Day
roster took a hit.
The A’s power-hitting
prospect had gotten off to
a nice start in the club’s
first two spring games by
reaching base in his first
four plate appearances and
impressing Melvin with his
defense at third base, but
Nunez pulled his left ham-
string as he was scoring on
an RBI single from Sheldon
Neuse in the second inning
on Saturday.

like starting pitcher Jake
Arrieta and third baseman
Mike Moustakas.
Signings have begun to
pick up over the past week,
though. Clark acknowledged
not every player will find a
team.
Major League Base-
ball, in a statement earlier
this month, attributed the
amount of unsigned players
to a misread of the market-
place and denied any de-
liberate attempt at fielding
noncompetitive clubs.
MARINIJ.COM
For the young pitchers com-
ing of age in the midst of a
dreadful season, Cain’s de-
parture was a critical loss.
“(Cain) was just an easy
guy to lean on and I think
he knew his time was kind
of winding down so I think
he wanted to pour as much
as he could not only into
me but Ty Blach and some
of the younger guys,” Strat-
ton said. “He was just the
one that would talk to you
about being a professional
and just how to attack each
day.”
The Giants selected Cain
in the first round of the
2002 draft and ushered him
up to the big leagues in Au-
gust 2005, when he was just
20 years old. Ten years later,
San Francisco tabbed Strat-
ton in the first round, pick-
ing the Mississippi State
product a few months be-
fore his 22nd birthday.
While Cain took the fast
lane through the minors,
Stratton was stuck in a
traffic jam. Once Stratton
arrived at the destination,
though, the paths they trav-
eled hardly mattered. Cain
had plenty of advice to of-
fer, and Stratton thinks he
still does.

MLB
Ohtani has mixed results
in first start with Angels
By Bernie Wilson
The Associated Press
TEMPE, ARIZ. >> Shohei
Ohtani didn’t quite daz-
zle in his spring pitching
debut with the Los Ange-
les Angels.
Maybe thin gs w ill
change when he swings
the bat for the first time
in a Cactus League game.
T he s t a r t wo -w ay
player from Japan had
mixed results in his first
big league mound appear-
ance Saturday, when he
allowed a home run and
didn’t make it through his
scheduled two innings in
a 6-5 victory against the
Milwaukee Brewers.
The 23-year-old right-
hander threw some nice
pitches, including a fast-
ball clocked at 97 mph,
and a curveball that came
across at 69 mph.
But he also struggled
with his fastball com-
mand in allowing two
runs, one earned, and two
hits in 1 1-3 innings. Keon
Broxton tagged him for a
home run leading off the
second inning.
“Besides the results, I
mean, I had a lot of fun
out there, so I think it
went all well,” Ohtani
said through a translator.
He struck out two and
walked one. He threw 31
pitches, 17 for strikes.
Ohtani didn’t hit — he
wasn’t in manager Mike
Scioscia’s batting order.
He’s been launching
some long home runs in
batting practice.
“I had a lot of fun out
there today and obvi-
ously I’m excited to hit
and pitch again, and I
just want to keep on get-
ting better and have good
results from here on out,”
he said.
Scioscia said Ohtani
will hit early in the week,
as the designated hitter.
“It was great to see
him,” Scioscia said. “I
think he did enough
to where we certainly
learned some things. He
and Martin worked some
things out and I think it
will be a step forward
next time for him. But
to get him out there for
the first time was great.
He threw all his pitches.
Some were really what we
would expect him to be
and some he just lost his
release point on. But it’s
a step forward, for sure.”
Paired with catcher
Mar tin Maldonado,
Ohtani started five of
his seven batters with
balls, including lead-
off man Jonathan Villar,
who worked the count to
3-1 before hitting a dou-
ble that bounced over
the fence in left-center.
Ohtani struck out Nate
Orf before walking Ji-
Man Choi.

ber and just saying, ‘Hey
man, what are your plans?’”
Stratton said. “You know, if
you don’t sign back, what
do you want to do? He’s 33
years old so he’s got a lot of
life left ahead. He said, ‘I’ve
just got so much knowledge
that you kind of feel like you
need to give it back to some-
body.’ He thinks he’d be do-
ing the game a disservice if
he didn’t at least help out.”
Notes
• Bochy will fly to San Di-
ego Sunday morning to at-
tend a memorial service for
former Padres general man-
ager Kevin Towers. Giants
bench coach Hensley Meu-
lens will manage the club in
Bochy’s absence.
• Bochy said Buster Posey
tweaked an ankle, so the Gi-
ants will hold Posey out of
the lineup for Sunday’s con-
test against the Cubs.
• Shortstop Brandon
Crawford and Austin Jack-
son won’t debut until March
1. Bochy said neither player
is injured, but the Giants
want to be cautious and
ensure Crawford’s throw-
ing arm and Jackson’s legs
have enough strength to
play consistently when they
do debut in Cactus League
games.
ting, Ohtani threw a wild
pitch and Maldonado
threw the ball into cen-
ter field for an error while
trying to get Choi at sec-
ond base, allowing Vil-
lar to score with an un-
earned run.
Ohtani allowed Brox-
ton’s homer to left on a
1-1 count.
Ohtani, who spent five
seasons with the Nip-
pon Ham Fighters before
signing with the Angels
as an international free
agent on Dec. 10, said he
needs to locate his fast-
ball better rather than
leaving it over the plate,
which is what happened
against Villar and Brox-
ton. He said he liked the
movement on his forkball,
but that his slider “didn’t
look too well, so that’s
something I need to work
on for my next start.”
The Angels paid a $20
million posting fee to the
Ham Fighters. Ohtani,
who will be under the
Angels’ contractual con-
trol for six years, signed
a minor league contract
and can receive up to
$2,315,000 in interna-
tional bonus money from
the Angels.
Ohtani likely could
have received a deal
worth more than $100
million if he had waited
two years to move state-
side, but he wasn’t in-
terested in delaying his
progress for money.
“It’s still too early to
tell but I think I’m tak-
ing the right step, going
in the right direction,” he
said. “It was just the first
start so we’ll see from
here.”
T he Brewers were
mostly impressed.
“I think he’s got great
stuff,” Broxton said. “I
only saw fastballs, but
the off-speed I saw earlier
looked like it was pretty
good. ... I think there’s def-
initely more there. He’s
got a good arm; a nice
and easy release. I hope it
works out for him.”
Milwaukee’s Brett Phil-
lips took a called third
strike to end the first in-
ning.
“He’s got a really live
arm,” Phillips said. “His
fastball, he might have to
locate it a little better. It
was coming out good but a
little flat. Off-speed looked
really good. He has a good
chance to be really good.”
Phillips was intrigued
by Ohtani’s two-way po-
tential.
“If you can do it, more
power to you. I hope he
gets a chance because he
proved in Japan that he
can hit and pitch. Now
he’s in the highest level
and I hope he gets an op-
portunity to show if he
can do it. He’s earned it.
We’ll see if he gets that
chance.”
