Downtown a priority for new Belmont mayor

Davina Hurt to focus on economic development, placemaking, art
By Zachary Clark
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Davina Hurt has been intimately
involved in developing a vision for a
downtown in Belmont since she was
elected to the council in 2015. After
becoming mayor last month, she’s
focused on making that vision a reali-
ty.
To that end, economic development,
placemaking and public art are a few of
her priorities for the year.
“I want to really make sure we get
this downtown created, ” she said.
“We’ve been talking about it for so
many years and as mayor I have an
opportunity — and it’s necessary —
that I start getting out to businesses
and have meaningful dialogue and get
people excited about the downtown
that we planned.”
Becoming mayor was a first for Hurt
and it was also a first for Belmont —
she is the city’s first woman of color
to hold the position.
“When I became mayor a lot of peo-
ple were amazed that it happened and
supportive because of the changing
demographics in our city. It’s definite-
ly diverse,” she said. “But who I am is
not just the color of my skin, but the
ideas and values I believe in and there
are many other people in our commu-
nity with those same values and
beliefs.”
A month into her new role, Hurt
finds herself spending more time
engaging the public and in meetings
than she did as a councilmember and

Half Moon Bay adopts parks master plan
City Council prioritizes Carter Park and Poplar Beach improvements
By Zachary Clark
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Half Moon Bay City Council has
adopted a Parks Master Plan that includes
potential upgrades for existing parks as
well as recommendations for future park
projects, two of which may move forward
this year.
“This is has been a process extending
over approximately two years. ... It was a
great process with lots of input and I think
we have a great outcome,” Councilwoman
Debbie Ruddock said, according to the video
of a meeting Feb. 5. “I’m looking forward to
getting it implemented.”
The planning document applies to city-
owned developed parks in Half Moon Bay,
of which there are 13, and not state beaches,
trails or open spaces.
Councilman Adam Eisen also celebrated
the plan and said the Carter Park and Poplar
Beach projects will advance this year.
The plan for Carter Park is to transform it
into an outdoor performance venue that can
also be used by summer day camps. An
amphitheater with a stage and permanent
seating will be constructed along with rest-
rooms, a drinking fountain and
storage/backstage dressing space, accord-
ing to the master plan. The project also
includes various protections for the riparian
areas and increasing programming in the
park will address concerns related to home-
lessness there, according to the plan.
The vision for the Poplar Beach project is
to construct a “passive park” where people

can enjoy nature and ocean views and more

Limiting impacts from erosion is also a part
of the plan as is creating a new policy for
addressing the impacts of horseback riding
there.
Possible improvements include bluff
restoration and additional trails, ADA acces-
sible viewing areas and seating, permanent
restrooms, additional bike racks and picnic
areas.

Man gets eight-year
prison term for molestation
A former Millbrae man was sentenced to
eight years in state prison Friday nearly five
months after a jury found
him guilty of two counts
of child molestation for
crimes he committed at
his Millbrae residence
more than a decade ago,
according to the San
Mateo County District
Attorney’s Office.
Latu Lavaki Though the defense
attorney for Latu Lavaki,
62, made a motion for a new trial, a judge
denied the motion and sentenced him to
eight years in state prison. Lavaki is also
not allowed to contact the victim for 10
years, according to prosecutors.
Lavaki was found guilty of molesting a 7-
year-old relative during the Christmas break
of the 2006-07 school year after luring her
upstairs by promising to give her a choco-
late bar. Years later, the victim disclosed to
older female relatives who admitted they too
had been molested by Lavaki as far back as
1985. However, those cases fall outside the
statute of limitations, according to prosecu-
tors.
Obituary
Katherine Ann Terranova

Local briefs
Lavaki, who has been in custody on no
bail since his trial ended Sept. 10, will
receive 633 days credit for time served,
according to prosecutors.
Chief Deputy District Attorney Al Serrato
said prosecutors are gratified to see Lavaki
receive a sentence commensurate with the
serious nature of his crime.
“Victimizing a young child is particularly
reprehensible,” he said.
Lavaki’s defense attorney Peter
Goldscheider was not immediately available
for comment.
Driver’s wrong turn
leads to Caltrain crash
Many evening commuters were delayed
Thursday night when a northbound Caltrain
struck an empty vehicle on the tracks in
Redwood City.
A woman driving a car at the Chestnut
Street crossing was trying to make a right
turn after the tracks, but instead got distract-
ed and made a right onto the tracks, accord-
ing to Tasha Bartholomew, a spokeswoman
for Caltrain.
The driver and her passenger were able to
get out of the car before the train hit, and nei-
ther of them were injured, Bartholomew said.
None of the 525 train passengers were
injured either, according to Bartholomew,
but commuters were delayed for as long as an
hour and a half while crews worked to clean
up the wreckage.
The crash happened around 6:30 p.m. and
the tracks were reopened around 7:40 p.m.,
Bartholomew said. Trains were running
again soon after.
Bartholomew said the driver who turned
onto the tracks was given a citation for dis-
tracted driving.
Transient arrested for
trash can, plant vandalism
A transient woman was arrested early
Friday morning for turning over trash cans
and destroying plants in
downtown Millbrae,
according to the San
Mateo County Sheriff’s
Office.
At approximately 2:05
p.m., deputies assigned to
the Millbrae Police
Bureau were dispatched to
Sarah Kiplinger Broadway and La Cruz
Avenue on a report of a
woman causing a disturbance. Garbage cans
had been turned over and garbage was thrown
on the street. Plants were destroyed and
removed from planter boxes belonging to
Obituary
the city and surrounding commercial busi-
nesses, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies arrived and contacted Sarah
Kiplinger, 30, who was in the area and arrest-
ed her for felony vandalism. Millbrae Public
Works responded to clean the streets and
sidewalks of the debris, according to the
Sheriff’s Office.
Salmon advocates decry
proposed Delta water diversions
Officials from a San Francisco-based group
dedicated to preserving the region’s salmon

River Delta and San Francisco Bay would
decimate the fish as well as jobs.
“This is a blatant water grab that threat-
ened thousands of fishing jobs and families
in California,” said Dick Pool, secretary of
the Golden Gate Salmon Association.
Added GGSA Director Noah Oppenheim,
“The Trump administration won’t be able to
get away with killing off our salmon runs if
the state refuses to cooperate.”
These comments come in response to
Monday’s release by the U.S. Bureau of
Reclamation of a “biological assessment”
helping guide long-term operation of the
Central Valley Project and the State Water
Project, which operate separate but largely
parallel canals in the Interstate Highway 5
corridor.

SAN FRANCISCO — Federal regulators

Partial shutdown delayed
60,000 immigration court hearings
LOS ANGELES — The partial government
shutdown that ended last month has delayed
about 60,000 immigration court hearings.
Kathryn Mattingly, a spokeswoman for
the Executive Office for Immigration
Review, said Friday that hearings have been
rescheduled for the earliest available date.
With more than 800,000 pending cases,
the immigration courts overseen by the
Department of Justice are notoriously back-
logged and at least one judge said she has no
openings on her calendar until 2022.
Mattingly says immigrants can file a
motion asking for an earlier date if needed.
The 35-day shutdown over President
Donald Trump’s demand for a border wall
halted immigration court hearings for immi-
grants who were not detained, including
asylum seekers hoping to stay in the United
States.

Virginia Democrats
struggle with interlocking crises
RICHMOND, Va. — Virginia’s Democrats struggled to
find their way out of three interlocking political crises
Thursday that could bring down the
party’s top elected officials and put a
Republican in the governor’s chair.
With Gov. Ralph Northam’s career in
peril over a racist photo in his 1984 med-
ical school yearbook, the state attorney
general acknowledged on Wednesday that
he put on blackface when he was in col-
lege, and a woman publicly accused the
Ralph Northam lieutenant governor of sexually assault-
ing her 15 years ago.
While nearly the entire Democratic establishment rose up
against Northam over the past week to demand he resign,
party members largely withheld judgment on the two latest
developments, which threaten to cause a political chain
reaction that could make a GOP legislative leader the gover-
nor.

By Alan Fram and Andrew Taylor
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Congressional
bargainers seem close to clinching a
border security agreement that would
avert a fresh government shutdown,
with leaders of both parties voicing
optimism and the top GOP negotiator
saying he believes President Donald
Trump would back the emerging
accord.
It could take days to nail down final
details and unexpected problems could
develop, especially with Trump’s pen-
chant for head-snapping changes of
mind. Even so, participants said a
handshake could come any day on a
spending package for physical barriers
along the Southwest border and other
security measures that would end a con-
frontation that has dominated the
opening weeks of divided government.
“The president was urging me to try
to conclude these negotiations and this
is the most positive meeting I’ve had
in a long time,” lead GOP bargainer
Sen. Richard Shelby of Alabama told
reporters after discussing the parame-
ters of the potential pact with Trump in
the Oval Office.
“I gathered today that if we work this
out in the context that we were talking
today, that I thought was reasonable,
very reasonable, that he would sign it,”
added Shelby.
“Hopefully, we’ll get some good
news in a short period of time,” said
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.
Congress has until Feb. 15 to
approve an agreement before the gov-
ernment runs out of money.
Trump faces an aggressive,
Democratic-led House that is ramping
up investigations into Russian
involvement in his campaign and busi-
nesses and trying to get access to his
income tax returns. But ending the bor-
der security fight would close one chap-
ter that’s bruised him, including his
surrender after a 35-day partial federal
shutdown that he started by unsuccess-
fully demanding taxpayer money to
build the border wall.
Trump, who’d previously called con-
gressional talks a “waste of time,” was
non-committal.
“I certainly hear that they are work-
ing on something and both sides are
moving along. We’ll see what hap-
pens,” he said. “We need border securi-
ty. We have to have it, it’s not an
option.”
A senior administration official said
the White House is “cautiously opti-
mistic” about getting a deal they could
support. The official lacked authoriza-
tion to discuss the matter publicly and
spoke only on condition of anonymi-
ty.
The agreement seemed sure to pro-
duce far less than the $5.7 billion
Trump had demanded to build over 200
miles of the wall, a structure he made a
paramount plank of his presidential
campaign. It seemed likelier to provide
closer to the $1.6 billion a bipartisan
Senate panel approved for fencing last
year.
Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard, D-
Calif., a negotiator, said it was “unreal-
istic” to think there would be no fund-
ing for physical barriers. “Like in any-
thing else, it’s a trade-off,” she said.

The importance of the classics
By Charlie Chapman
F
or the better part of a century,
the books read by high
school students have remained
surprisingly consistent. Seminal
novels such as “The Catcher in the
Rye” have appeared in high school
English syllabuses for generations,
and continue to be assigned to new
groups of students each year.
However, as of late, there has been an
increasing desire among some educa-
tors to begin a process of introducing
new texts into the curriculum. At my
school, teachers have expressed inter-
est in replacing some classic titles
with contemporary works they
believe will be more relatable to stu-
dents. This impulse is understandable,
it is plausible to believe that newer
texts with modern-day characters will
help students become more engaged
in the process of learning. However,
the classics still fill an important role
in secondary education and are irre-
placeable parts of a solid intellectual
foundation. 
A key goal of secondary education
is to provide students with the back-
ground necessary to engage with
learning and intellectual discussion
throughout their life. Being able to
converse with people on a variety of
subjects is an important component
of being an educated person, and is an
integral  part of being able to func-
tion in society. It is undeniable that
the classics are one of the most com-
mon sources for references in both

Forum on Taser use
Editor,
The community forum on Taser use
scheduled for Monday, Feb. 11, was
promised to be “both informative and
balanced.” Press accounts of the plan
for the meeting sounded as if a small
number of speakers would be equally
from those representing county offi-
cialdom and Taser makers, balanced
by those questioning Taser use
(“Officials to hold Taser use forum” in
the Feb. 8 edition of the Daily
Journal).
The now published agenda looks
anything but balanced. Now 70 per-
cent of the long list of scheduled
speakers work either for county offi-
cialdom or for makers of Tasers. Only
one speaker from the American Civil
Liberties Union is scheduled to repre-
sent the many groups questioning
Taser use. Community members who
come to speak can expect to be limit-
ed to about two minutes. No time
limit is indicated for the officials and

References to
Moby Dick’s
“White Whale” or a
“Lord of the Flies”
are commonplace
in writing and are
often used with the
assumption that the audience has read
these classic texts. Removing these
classic texts from students’ education-
al experience would rob them of the
opportunity to develop themselves
into adults capable of participating in
a wide variety of academic discus-
sions. While it is true society is
changing, and what is common
knowledge will undeniably shift over
time, it is not realistic to expect that
classic literature will not continue to
be considered standard knowledge in
many sectors of society, especially in
academic and professional circles.  modernize curriculum should instead
The argument that the classics
should be replaced in education is
rooted in a belief students are unable
to relate to books that are centuries
old. However, this argument ignores
the fact that many of the themes and
problems depicted in these books are
as relevant now as ever. While mod-
ern-day students may not be able to
relate to colonial or medieval life,
they certainly can find similarities
between stories regarding familial
disputes, betrayal and love that are
present in many classic texts and
their own experiences. It is strikingly
condescending to believe students do
their lawyers. If they are long-wind-
ed, which would not be surprising,
their sheer numbers could easily use
up most of the time. Perhaps we will
need another forum to balance out
this one?

The ties that bind
I
’ve seen a number of stories about a “mass exodus”
of people from California, but most of those seem
to be younger folks who simply couldn’t make the
economics of the Bay Area work. Within my circle of
friends, though, I’m starting to observe different sort of
exodus. Although financially motivated, my friends are
reaching retirement age, and that’s causing them to take
a different look at their situation.
Several months ago, my wife and I helped a good
friend fill a handful of moving “pods” with the contents
of her Redwood City home. She was moving to Oregon.
In her case, although she had lived in the Bay Area for all
her life and was getting by OK, money remained tight
and she wasn’t getting ahead. Long a renter, she dearly
wanted to own her own place, one with some land. A
recent inheritance gave her the opportunity to do just
that, although not in the Bay Area. In Oregon, on the
say goodbye to several close relationships, but other-
wise she’s doing well on her
little Oregon homestead.
Our Oregon friend is self-
employed and plans to work
for many years to come. We
have other friends, however,
who have moved, or who are
planning to move, thanks to
impending or actual retirement.
For instance, we know a mar-
ried couple, still two years
away from retirement, who
community in which they can Greg Wilson
live out their days. While they
aren’t necessarily going to leave California altogether,
like many of us homeowners, their current home is a sub-
stantial portion of their investment portfolio, and
they’ll need to pull cash out of it to finance their retire-
ment. They may yet retire in California — there are
many communities here that are affordable, as long as
one doesn’t need to work — or they may end up moving
to a nearby state.
Downsizing has long been the path to retirement for a
great many people in this country, and from a financial
standpoint it makes a lot of sense. But it often requires
that the retirees cut the many ties that they have built up
over their working life. My wife and I, for instance, hav-
ing lived in the Bay Area for 35 years now, have many
close friends nearby. We work hard to maintain those
friendships; by regularly going to our friends’ houses;
by going on trips with them; and by attending each
other’s important events, such as our children’s wed-
dings. If we were to move, we would still try to see our
Bay Area friends from time to time, but clearly we would
see them far less often, and thus our ties to them would
gradually weaken.
In an ideal world we’d retire to somewhere cheaper and
bring all of our friends along, but that isn’t terribly real-
istic. However, we do have two sets of friends — who are
close friends with one another — who ended up doing
something along those lines. A couple of years ago, the
first couple left California, thanks to a rather unusual set
of circumstances. The husband was in line to receive a
large windfall from his employer and his tax advisor
urged him to establish residency in a state with no indi-
vidual income taxes. Since their kids had already flown
the nest, and because they love outdoor activities such as
cycling and skiing, they had few qualms about selling
their Redwood City home and building what turned out to
be a stunning house close to the shores of Lake Tahoe,
in Incline Village, Nevada. Although the husband still
works — he flies from Reno to San Francisco most
weeks — they are loving the Sierra lifestyle.
Recently, the second couple retired, and although I sus-
pect they did well enough to remain in the Bay Area,
they were attracted to the lifestyle that our Incline
Village friends are now enjoying. This second couple
also loves skiing and the outdoors, and so they, too,
moved to Incline Village. Today, the two couples live
roughly 3 miles from one another. They ended up not
only making a financially advantageous move, they
managed to maintain one of their closest friendships
while doing so.
There is no question that the Bay Area is an expensive
place to live, and I can see the logic in moving to some-
where cheaper — especially if one doesn’t need to be
here for work. But whereas moving may make financial
sense, it comes at a cost: the stretching, or outright sev-
ering, of the many ties that bind us to this wonderful
part of the state of California. Personally, I’m not ready
to cut those ties, and so I stay, waving goodbye as
friends slowly begin to move away.

Late burst of buying leaves indexes mixed

By Stan Choe and Alex Veiga
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
U.S. stock indexes stemmed an
early slide Friday, finishing most-
ly higher and nudging the bench-
mark S&P 500 index to its second
weekly gain in a row.
Gains in technology and con-
sumer goods companies out-
weighed losses in financial
stocks and retailers as investors
continued to size up the latest
batch of quarterly corporate snap-
shots.
Prior to a late-afternoon flurry
of buying, the market had been on
pace to finish lower as investors
hit pause following a tumultuous
two months where the index fol-
lowed up its worst December since
1931 with its best January in three
decades.
“Earnings are coming in good --
we’re seeing over 15 percent
growth -- but there are some con-
cerns about the next quarter that
growth is going to be pretty close
to zero,” said Karyn Cavanaugh,
senior markets strategist at Voya
Investment Management.
The S&P 500 rose 1.83 points,
or 0.1 percent, to 2,707.88. The
Dow Jones Industrial Average lost
63.20 points, or 0.3 percent, to
25,106.33.
The Nasdaq composite added
9.85 points, or 0.1 percent, to
7,298.20. The Russell 2000 index
of smaller companies picked up
0.77 points, or 0.1 percent, to
1,506.39. Major stock indexes in
Europe finished lower.
Traders have been worried about
predicted slowdowns in
economies around the world, with
trade tensions between the United
States and China adding to the
strain. Warnings about slower
growth from Europe and the United
Kingdom earlier this week hit
hard, helping to derail a five-day
winning streak for the S&P 500.
It hasn’t been all bad news,
however. Companies have been
reporting better-than-expected
earnings for the last three months
of 2018, and the Federal Reserve

Mattel and Hasbro results show

diverging post-Toys R Us paths
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Quarterly reports from
Mattel and Hasbro show that while the
demise of Toys R Us has shaken up the indus-
try, the two dominant toymakers’ paths are
diverging less than a year later.
Late Thursday, Mattel posted better-than-
expected earnings per share and revenue for
the key holiday quarter, sending its shares up
sharply. The maker of Barbies and Hot
Wheels named a new CEO last April and has
launched a restructuring that is starting to
take hold, analysts said.
For the three months ended in December,
Mattel swung to a profit of $14.9 million, or
4 cents per share, after posting a loss a year
earlier. Revenue of $1.52 billion was down 5
percent year over year, but topped estimates.
The loss of Toys R Us — which liquidated its
stores in the spring — lead to an 8 percent
drop in sales, while a slowdown in China
contributed to a 2 percent headwind.

Retailers shop for
ways to get rid of

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO — Get ready to say good riddance to the

A year after Amazon opened its first cashier-less store,
startups and retailers are racing to get similar technology in
stores throughout the world, letting shoppers buy groceries
without waiting in line.
If they work, cashier-less stores will not only save time
but maybe money too, for both cost-cutting merchants and
customers whose shopping habits are dissected.

usual despite CEO’s drama

Joseph Pisani
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — First it was a heart-
wrenching tweet that he and his wife
were getting a divorce after 25 years.
Then a tabloid revealed that he’d been
having an affair, releasing texts and
photos of him and his mistress.
As if either of those weren’t distract-
ing enough, now Jeff Bezos — the
world’s richest man and CEO of
Amazon — is accusing The National
Enquirer in a blog post of trying to
blackmail him by threatening to
release more intimate photos of him
unless he calls off an investigation
into how that information was
obtained in the first place.
But despite the all-consuming per-
sonal drama, analysts and experts
don’t expect it to make much difference
to Amazon itself, the company Bezos
has steered from an online bookstore
two decades ago to a worldwide jugger-
naut.
Michael Pachter, an analyst at
Wedbush Securities, estimates the
impact on the company to be “0.000
percent.”
“I’m certain investors won’t care,”
he said.
Others point out that Bezos has been
able to balance his responsibilities at
the helm of the world’s largest online
retailer while also juggling his other
pursuits: running a space exploration
company and owning the Washington
Post, one of the nation’s most influen-
tial newspapers.
“He’s extraordinarily driven,” says
Chris McCabe, who used to work at
Amazon and now runs
ecommerceChris, a consultancy for
Amazon sellers. “He knows how to
delegate.”
Amazon has a steady line of long-
time executives who are running each
of its businesses, likely keeping
investors calm.
Jeffrey Wilke, oversees the retail
business, and Andrew Jassy runs the
company’s fast-growing cloud com-
puting business Amazon Web
Services. Both of them have been at
the company since the 1990s. And
unlike other CEOs, Bezos doesn’t
speak at conference calls with analysts
and investors after the company
releases its financial reports, leaving
that to Chief Financial Officer Brian
Olsavsky, who has been at the compa-
ny since 2002.
Still, that hasn’t stopped the
Enquirer from casting doubts over
whether Bezos can effectively oversee
his company.
“All of these (text) messages raise
serious questions about Bezos’ judg-
ment as the CEO of the most valuable
company in the world,” the tabloid
said in a Jan. 24 article.
about customer data falling into the wrong hands, especial-
ly if stores deploy facial recognition software in the
omnipresent cameras watching shoppers.
“It could be scary, and it could be creepy,” says Peter
Trepp, CEO of FaceFirst, a Los Angeles company that so far
has only sold its facial recognition tools to retailers trying
to identify shoplifters and other criminals. “But if it’s used
to give people a 30 percent coupon on something they want
that is going to be a nice benefit. That kind of experience
will help people embrace the technology.”
Amazon has a head start in the U.S., opening 10 conven-
ience stores in three cities: Chicago, San Francisco and
Seattle. The stores sell salads and sandwiches for lunch,
everyday items like toilet paper and Advil, and groceries
such as Cheerios and raw ground beef.
Shoppers scan an app to enter the Amazon Go store, grab
what they want and walk out. Cameras and sensors on the
ceiling track what’s taken so their credit or debit cards are
automatically charged when they leave. Shoppers will
know how long it took to shop, since Amazon sends an
alert with their shopping time.

“There is growing frustration with the
extent of gun violence in the country,” he
said. “This proposed measure really is a
common sense solution for trying to limit
gun violence that occurs in homes and can
prevent accidental shootings and sui-
cides.”
The proposed requirement that firearms
are kept in safes or disabled with a trigger
lock is accompanied by a proposal to
require gun owners to report lost or stolen
firearms within five days from the time
they knew or reasonably should have
known the gun had gone missing.

two years ago to explore what more can be

to do that in jail, they’re not allowed to
touch or hug so they can pick up a rabbit or

“Some of the women just love it. It gives
them that opportunity to show affection
and the deputies tell us the shared experi-
ence gives them something to talk about
and creates a more peaceful environment for
multiple days after the visit. They always
say ‘we’d love for you to come more.’”
Each session lasts no more than one hour
so the animals are not overextended.
Houk took over management duties after

still active with the nonprofit and serves as

Mattes founded Jasper Ridge Farm after
teaching to horseback ride.
Pollack was encouraged to see San Mateo
County officials take up an ordinance
focused on safe gun storage, and said he has
been working with other Bay Area counties
to adopt similar ordinances.
“It’s really to raise awareness in the com-
munity around gun safety given that the
majority of the related incidents are pre-
ventable if the gun was just had just been
properly stored,” he said.
Though the ordinance would only apply
to unincorporated parts of the county, Pine
said if it’s adopted, officials will encourage
cities to adopt the ordinance and work with
community groups to spread the word about
it at events such as gun buybacks.
Pine said the San Mateo County Sheriff’s
Office was consulted in developing the pro-
posed ordinance, and expected enforcement
to largely occur when sheriff’s deputies or
county staff see unsecured firearms while
they are in a residence for other reasons.
Pine said through the Giffords Law Center

“That little girl developed a brain tumor
and she kept coming out every week and the
mom would say ‘this is the one time she

an amazing thing for this girl to continue
to do,” Houk said.
Then the time came when that girl wasn’t
physically able to ride horses. One day,
Mattes brought a miniature horse to the
girl’s house. She was in a hospital bed in
the living room.
“There was a group of people there. The
horse went straight to the little girl and put
its head down on hers and just stood there

Mitty wins the war

Serra falls 56-55,
Monarchs claim
the WCAL crown
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

All that glitters is not gold.

That was the message of Serra head coach
Chuck Rapp regarding his Padres jumping
out to a 14-point first-quarter lead, and stay-
ing ahead of the visiting Mitty Monarchs
for most of the night.
With 44 seconds remaining, however,
Mitty (11-2 WCAL, 17-6 overall) took its
first lead on the game’s last points, sealing
a 56-55 win Friday night at Morton Family
Gymnasium. With the win, the Monarchs
wrapped up their first West Catholic Athletic
League championship in five years.
“Mitty did a good job of speeding up the
tempo and it just kind of got us out of our
rhythm,” Rapp said. “I never really felt like
we were in sync. We hit some shots early.
And that was kind of fool’s gold, though,
because we weren’t really flowing.”
The Padres (9-4, 17-6) opened on a 9-2
run, and opened up a 20-6 lead by the end of
the first quarter. Serra forward Cade Rees has
a busy quarter, totaling eight points, seven
rebounds and an assist through the opening
eight minutes. He’s go on to record a dou-
ble-double with 21 points and a game-high
12 rebounds.
It was senior guard Parker McDonald who
sparked the Padres though, opening with
the red-hot hand from 3-point land.
McDonald nailed three 3s in the opening
period, during which Serra shot 4 of 8 from
beyond the arc.
Getting into a 3-point shootout with
Mitty though is dangerous territory. And
while the Padres technically outshot the
Monarchs on 3-pointers — Serra was 8 of
18 throughout; Mitty was 7 of 18 — the
Monarchs closed with a bang, draining 5 of
6 treys in the fourth quarter.

But when a team like the Burlingame

After a rough start to season that saw the

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
It became evident early on in the Menlo-
Atherton-Burlingame boys’ soccer game
that the Bears were going to be the aggres-
sors and the Panthers were content to
absorb that pressure.
So while it led to lopsided possession
time and shots for M-A, Burlingame calmly
repelled wave after wave of M-A attacks.
The Panthers did not have a lot of oppor-
tunities, but they took advantage of their
best chance to post a 1-0 win. It gives the
Bay Division-leading Panthers a four-point
cushion over the second-place Bears with
two games left in the regular season.
“It was a good win for us, ” said
Burlingame head coach Anthony Dimech.
“[M-A is] a good side.”
Dimech doesn’t necessarily like to pack it
in on defense and depend on the counterat-
tack for his offense, but with M-A needing
the win more than Burlingame, Dimech fig-
ured the Bears would come out with heavy
pressure.
“We definitely wanted to sit back a little.
… We didn’t want them to get behind us,”
Dimech said. “We’re not used to sitting back
as much. … I knew they’d come out hard the
first 15 (minutes of the game).”

Curry, Warriors gets cooking after slow start
By Bob Baum
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHOENIX — Make it 18 wins in a row for the
Golden State Warriors over the Phoenix Suns.
The latest, though, was no cakewalk for the
reigning NBA champions.
Stephen Curry shook off a poor shooting
performance by scoring 10 of his 20 points in
the fourth quarter and the Warriors finally
broke open a tight game to beat the Suns 117-
107 on Friday night.
Klay Thompson scored 25 points for the
Warriors. Kevin Durant added 21 points and
DeMarcus Cousins 18.
“They totally outplayed us all night,”
Golden State coach Steve Kerr said. “The only
reason we won is because we have a lot more
talent, obviously.”
Kelly Oubre Jr. scored 25 points and Deandre
Ayton 23 for Phoenix, which was without

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PEBBLE BEACH — Phil Mickelson sur-
vived a wild finish without having to deal with
the rain. Jordan Spieth endured a wet finish to
his day with three tough pars, followed by
some unwitting help by a spooked fan.
Both were atop the leaderboard Friday in the
AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, joined by Lucas
Glover, Paul Casey and Scott Langley, when
the second round was suspended because the
rain had formed large puddles on the greens.
They played more golf than expected by
moving up the start by an hour, and it was
entertaining as ever.

gle fairway for the first time in 1,664 rounds

the third and fourth quar-
ters.
The matchup of the teams at the top and bot-
tom of the Western Conference standings was a
lot closer than anticipated — and in large part
because it took Curry a while to find his stroke.
Through three quarters, Curry was 2-of-12
shooting, including 1 of 8 on 3-pointers. But
in the fourth quarter, he was 4 of 5, including 2
at Spyglass Hill. He still managed to surge
into the lead, including one 3-wood from 256
yards out of the trees on the par-5 14th to 6
feet.
It caught up with him at the end. After bang-
ing in a birdie on the par-3 fifth, Mickelson
missed three straight fairways that led to three
straight bogeys until he closed with a 4-iron
to 18 feet for birdie and a 4-under 68.
“I hate not finishing the round off, making
three bogeys after having a pretty good round
going in,” Mickelson said. “I’m also lucky to
get done now and get the round over with and
have ... guys unfortunately are still out there
playing in some tough stuff.”
Mickelson was the first to finish at 10-
under 133. Glover started strong in tame
weather at Pebble Beach and shot a 6-under 66
of 3 from beyond the arc.
“We can compete,” said Ayton, the No. 1
pick in last year’s draft. “We’re maturing even
though we’re young. We can challenge any
team. Don’t mind our record, there’s a lot of
guys with a lot of great potential and we could
actually make a dynasty team.”
Down 94-88, Golden State took control
with a 13-0 run — capped by Curry’s 3-pointer
that put the Warriors up 101-94 with 5:46
remaining. Richaun Holmes’ tip-in cut the lead
to 101-98 with 4:58 left. But Curry responded
with another 3 and Golden State pulled away
from there.
“I think we just started making shots,”
Durant said. “They played extremely hard. “
Phoenix shot out to a 26-9 lead but the
Warriors cut it to 31-26 after one quarter.

Spyglass Hill) and Casey (7-under 64 at
Monterey Peninsula) narrowly finished at 10-
under 133 ahead of the horn that ultimately
stopped play for the rest of the day.
Three short blasts signaled the stoppage,
but because it wasn’t a dangerous situation,
such as lightning, players could complete the
hole. Casey was on his final hole at Monterey
when he heard the horn, followed by two
more.
“I went from upset to happy in an instant,”
he said.
Spieth was among 44 players who had to
return Saturday morning — weather permit-
ting — to finish the last two holes of his
round. Part of him was happy to be off the
course considering the fight he had on his

Phoenix opened the second half with an 11-
4 spurt to tie it at 64, and it stayed tight the rest
of the third quarter. Oubre made one free throw
with 4.9 seconds left, missed the second and
grabbed the rebound for a dunk that put the
Suns up 85-82 entering the final quarter.
“Sometimes in this league, it can be ugly for
44 minutes and the last four you kind of revi-
talize your team,” Thompson said, “and that’s
what Steph and DeMarcus did, K.D., and any
win you get in this league you have to be grate-
ful for.”
Suns coach Igor Kokoskov liked his team’s
effort, but said the Warriors’ ability and experi-
ence came through in the end.
“They were so precise in late switch, mis-
communication, late shifts from the weak side,
they made us pay,” he said. “It’s just a learning
experience for young guys. And it’s a poised
veteran team, a team with a high IQ. They
knew how to close a game.”

Spieth shot 31 on the back nine at Spyglass
Hill to get in the mix, and missed two good
birdie chances to start the front nine.
“I got off to a really nice start, which
helped, knowing that the conditions were
blowing in, trying to take advantage of the
front nine,” he said. “And then once they
started to come in, it was just try and hold on
for dear life.”
He went just long of the green on the par-3
fifth hole, his ball in the sandy dune above the
green about 3 inches from the collar of rough
with not much green between him and the
hole. Spieth blasted out to 4 feet and saved
par. After coming up short on the uphill sixth
into the wind, his 40-yard pitch checked and
stopped a foot from the cup.

“That’s their game, not ours,” Rapp said.
“They’re the best 3-point shooting team in

than a week before the first day of practice,
and one month prior to the start of the
2018-19 non-league opener, Ireland was
asked to return.
He accepted, and Jones followed. Jones is
a senior midfielder, and has run circles
around the WBAL this season. She didn’t
play at Menlo her previous three seasons,
however, focusing instead on San Jose
Earthquakes club soccer and her place on the
U.S. Soccer U-17 Women’s National Team.
Jones echoed her coach’s disappointment
in Friday’s tie, especially after her two shots
inside the game’s final five minutes — each
on excellent chances — missed their mark.
“It’s a little bit of frustration,” Jones said.
“But when we look back on it, it will be good.”

McDonald — who finished with five assists
— the Monarchs took it right back down for
Ryan to take an assist pass from Marcus
Greene and pop the game-winning.
“On that last play I saw Marcus, Marcus
got me that ball, and I knew it was going to
go down,” Ryan said. “That was a big shot.”
Mitty had responded to the first-quarter
deficit by picking up the tempo on defense,
attempting to fluster Serra with a full-court
press to start the second quarter. The Padres
immediately broke the trap to go up 22-8.
But the Monarchs responded with a 14-2 run,
closing the deficit to 24-22 on an offensive
board and put-back by Ryan.
Serra junior Antonio Abeyta gave his team
some breathing room before the half, hit-
ting back-to-back long-range jumpers. He
hit an 18-footer with just over a minute left
in the half to up the lead to 26-22. On the
Padres’ next possession, he drilled a 3 on his
way to netting 11 points.
With Serra taking a 41-37 lead into the
fourth quarter, the two teams opened with a
3-point derby, answering trey for trey.
Devan Sapp hit a pair for the Monarchs —
Jones got the Knights on the board in the
28th minute, receiving a ball up top and
driving low and hard, creating space and
banging a shot from 18 feet out. Freshman
forward Carolina Espinosa accounted for the
second score in the 35th minute, coming up
with a deflection inside the box and guiding
it in from 8 feet out.
After SHP sophomore Juliana Rosen
cooked up a comeback in the second half
with both her team’s goals —  one in the
42nd minute on an assist from freshman
Ellie Brew, and another in the 58th on an
assist from freshman Hadley Twitchell —
the tempo of the game increased exponen-
tially, leaving Menlo to finish with a flurry
of shots in the closing minutes.
“I think it’s just the rivalry,” Jones said.
“They play passionately. And it got really
chaotic.”
Menlo is playing more conservatively
through the final week of the season,
Ireland said. The Knights’ utilized a 3-5-2
lineup for their first matchup with SHP this
he’d go on to score a game-high 22 points
— while McDonald and senior Darren Barton
answered with one apiece for the Padres.
Mitty, though, outshot Serra by plenty
over the final period, going 7 of 11 from the
field. The Monarchs shot 46.9 percent from
the field throughout.
After the Monarchs took the lead on
Ryan’s 3, things got really wild over the
closing, scoreless, 44 seconds.
Serra came back down and got the ball into
the hands of McDonald — he totaled a team-
high 16 points — who got a good look at a
3-point attempt but could not get it to fall.
Rees crashed in for an attempt at an offen-
sive rebound, but was called for an over-the-
back foul with 14.9 seconds to go.
Mitty, however, could not inbound on the
ensuing possession, turning it over on a
five-second violation. The Padres looked in
good shape as they inbounded to Rees, who
drove a lane and drew a foul on the way into
the paint. At first the senior looked to be
going to the free-throw line, but a non-
shooting foul was assessed as the contact
came just prior to his getting into the key to
season. For Friday’s game, they switched to
a 4-4-2, and pushed Jones from her natural
spot at center midfielder and lined her up at
forward. Ireland said the senior dynamo, out
of habit, consistently dropped back to mid-
field, though.
With three minutes to play, she spanned
the two positions by driving through the
middle from midfield all the way into the
penalty box, juggling the dribble to dance
around defenders and, after drawing the SHP
goalkeeper out, chipped an excellent look
through a crowd of defenders. The shot drift-
ed over the keeper, but simply didn’t have
enough bite, dropping just over the cross-
bar.
“Sometimes they go in, sometimes they
don’t,” Jones said.
Two more Menlo chances went wayward
prior to the final whistle. Espinoza had a
great look from the corner of the box, but her
left-footed rocket curled long behind the far
post. One more chance off a throw-in close to
the corner pin found its way into the middle,

attempt his shot.
“I thought I was going to go to the line but
the ref called what he called; it happens that
way,” Rees said. “We had another chance
with a few seconds left in the game. We took
a shot. The ball ended up in our hands, we
didn’t make it. The ball rolls that way some-
times.”
Serra took another baseline inbound, and
got it to Abeyta, who hurried a fade-away 3
that did not fall.
“In a high-intensity game like that, the
blood’s rushing, you want to get up a shot,”
Rees said. “And in addition, you want to get
a chance at an offensive rebound in case of a
miss.”
But Sapp gathered the rebound for Mitty
and that was that.
Serra remains in second place in the
WCAL, and now will close the regular sea-
son Tuesday at Riordan. With Riordan and
Bellarmine — tied for third place in the
WCAL, each one game back of Serra — play-
ing Saturday, the finale in San Francisco,
depending on Saturday’s outcome, could be a
battle for second place.
but was contained by the SHP defense.
“We didn’t back off at all,” Ireland said of
Menlo’s second-half play. “It’s a game of
momentum and aggression, and we lost the
plot a little … but we were a couple cross-
bars away from being really comfortable.
Funny things happen in this game when
you don’t put a team away.”
Ireland’s outlook is to the road ahead
though, and the Central Coast Section play-
offs kicking off Saturday, Feb. 16.
“We still have a long way to go,” Ireland
said, “a lot of games to win.”
One caveat to the Knights’ postseason
schedule: Whether or not Menlo qualifies
for the CIF state championship tournament
— a CCS championship would assure auto-
matic qualification —  Jones’ last game at
Menlo will come in the CCS tournament.
The senior will not be available for the state
tournament as she is committed to play with
the U-17 Women’s National Team in March.
“She will not be available for Nor Cals,”
Ireland said.

a third off the dribble to find some space in

The game bogged down in the third period
as the teams combined to score nine points.
San Mateo hit back-to-back 3s by Chew and
Nolet to open the quarter to tie the game at
21, but Uhrich’s 3 with under two minutes
left in the quarter —  and the Burlingame’s
only points of the period — to give the
Panthers the lead for good, 24-21.
Burlingame made only three field goals in

ing its free throws. Sean Richardson, the

Grundmann bent a cross to the far right post

“We’ve been working on free kicks and

Over the final 15 minutes, Parker came to

yards out that Parker pushed over the top of
the goal at the last moment. Two minutes
later, M-A’s Axel Valle made a run into the
Burlingame penalty box and unleashed a
shot from about 10 yards out that was turned
aside by Parker.
“We had plenty of opportunities. We just
can’t find a guy to put the team on his shoul-

frustrating to watch from the sideline.”

Manfred: No DH or draft
changes likely for 2019
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ORLANDO, Fla. — Don’t look for a
National League designated hitter this year or
for new anti-tanking rules in June’s amateur
draft.
Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said
Friday that management is focused on pace-of-
game changes for 2019 and bolder ideas pro-
posed by the players’ association are too com-
plex to be put in place for
this season.
Speaking Friday after an
owners’ meeting, Manfred
felt encouraged the union
responded to manage-
ment’s proposal for a pitch
clock and a three-batter
minimum for a relief pitch-
er unless an inning ends.
Rob Manfred “Some of these items
need to be part of broader
discussions that certainly will continue after
opening day, and I hope we can focus on some
of the issues that need to get resolved quickly
in the interim,” Manfred said.
Baseball is in its third year of a five-year
labor deal, one in which the free-agent market
has slowed considerably — even with premier
players available such as Bryce Harper and
Manny Machado. Management would discuss
larger changes as part of a deal for a new col-
lective bargaining agreement extending
beyond December 2021.
“I hope and I really do believe that there is a
common interest between the players’ associ-
ation, the players, the owners and the com-
missioner’s office in changes, whether they’re
midterm or otherwise, that make our entertain-
ment product the best it could possibly be,”
Manfred said.
After the 2017 and 2018 seasons, players
SPORTS
rebuffed management’s proposal for a pitch
clock designed to speed to the pace of play.
Management has the right to implement a
clock, but Manfred has been reluctant to make
on-field changes without players’ agreement.
Management presented its latest proposal
Jan. 14, one that included a requirement that
pitchers face at least three batters or finish an
inning. Players responded Feb. 1 with a broad-
er plan, renewing their push for the DH in all
games, an earlier trade deadline aimed at dis-
couraging teams with losing records from trad-
ing stars, increasing service time for top
young stars called up early in the season and
rewarding and penalizing teams in the draft
based on their records.
“Those are significant economic issues.
They are different in kind than the type of play-
ing-rule changes that that we have out there,”
Manfred said. “I think that there are pieces of
their response on the on-field proposal that
were very encouraging. I think what needs to
be sorted out is how closely the two agendas
are tied, in other words, the on-field stuff and
the economic stuff.”
Last offseason, negotiations were hampered
by player anger over the slow free-agent mar-
ket. This offseason’s pace of signings has
been faster but remains far slower than most
previous years.
“We want players signed, particularly star
players. I wish they were signed and ready to
go,” Manfred said. “We got another week
before they have to report. I’m really hopeful
that it’s going to get resolved during that peri-
od of time.”
MLB’s proposal that pitchers face a mini-
mum of three batters in an inning unless it
ends was designed both for pace and to slow or
reverse the increased use of relievers. The
union wants its use at the big league level
delayed until 2020.
MEETING
Continued from page 14
“It’s kind of hard to deny when your CEO
gets made in the casino,” Zaidi said with a
chuckle Friday. “There’s obviously mutual
interest on both sides, so we thought it made
sense to get together. We had a good conver-
sation over a few hours and he’s obviously got
a lot of suitors and a lot of interest. He’s going
to have some decisions to make, but again I
think it’s fair to say that was an expression of
our interest level to make the trip out there and
meet with him.”
Zaidi said background discussions led to the
meeting: “We didn’t just show up at his
doorstep.”
“Having kind of a face-to-face meeting
gives you kind of a different level of being
able to engage,” Zaidi said. “Can’t exactly
deny that the meeting happened. But beyond
that, not really going to have comment on the
substance of the meeting beyond that obvi-
ously we have interest. You don’t make a trip
out there to meet with a player just for show.”
While cautioning that he is not familiar
with negotiations, Commissioner Rob
Manfred is eager to see some of the game’s big
names with teams for spring training.
“We want players signed, particularly star
players,” Manfred said. “I wish they were

Gregor Blanco and Gorkys Hernandez.
Pomeranz is familiar with the Bay Area — he
spent the 2014 and 2015 seasons with
Oakland — and the NL West, having pitched
for Colorado and San Diego. He spent the past
three years with Boston.
Pomeranz won a career-high 17 games for
the Red Sox in 2017. But he went 2-6 with a
6.08 ERA last season and was limited to 11
starts and 26 appearances for the World Series
champions because of two stints on the dis-
abled list — first with a strained left forearm
followed by biceps tendinitis in his pitching
arm.
He did not pitch in the World Series but was
on the roster.
“My big thing is getting back on track to
doing what I can do and just being myself
again because it’s very frustrating when you
have to fight through a year where you know
this isn’t me, how do I fix this, what can I do to
make sure this never happen again?” he said.

signed and ready to go. We got another week
before they have to report. I’m really hopeful
that it’s going to get resolved during that peri-
od of time. But obviously we want our star
players signed and ready to go when we start
playing.”
Also Friday, Zaidi confirmed the Giants
agreed to a minor league contract with 35-
year-old catcher Rene Rivera. San Francisco
wants to add depth behind Buster Posey, who
is healthy following season-ending right hip
surgery in late August. Rivera batted .233 with
four homers and 11 RBIs in 33 games between
the Angels and Braves last season. If added to
the 40-man roster, Rivera would get a one-year
contract paying $1.3 million in the majors
and would have the chance to earn additional
performance bonuses.
Posey, for one, is ready to play with Harper
if the Giants can somehow pull off acquiring
him.
“Yeah, sign him up!” Posey said. “What
team out there wouldn’t want a Bryce Harper, a
Manny Machado or a lot of free agents out
there? I think as players that’s what we, from
the time you’re 5 years old, you aspire to play
against the best competition, whether it’s in
your Little League game or your high school,
college, the big league level. As a fan myself
and fans that come to the game or watch it on
TV, when the Giants are playing X, Y and Z,
fans to say ‘We’re going to get the best com-
petition, we know that we’re going to get to
see a great game tonight.”’
“In that regard, this just felt like a great fit for
me.”
ROOKIES TO WATCH
Catcher Joey Bart, the No. 2 overall pick
in the draft last year, got
an invitation to big
league spring training and
will give the Giants a
glimpse of the future. Bart
is the team’s top prospect
after hitting 13 homers
and 14 doubles in 45
games in Class-A last year
and will get the chance to
Joey Bart
work alongside Posey.
Bart figures to be a big part of the team’s
plans in 2020.
THEY’RE NOT
The Giants have plenty of uncertainty in the
outfield following the departures of Pence and
Blanco. The most experienced outfielder on
the roster is Mac Williamson, who has played
only 120 games in his career.
PITCHING ANALYST
The Giants hired pitching analyst Matt
Daniels to join Zaidi’s staff. Daniels left his
position in Seattle as pitching coordinator
of driveline baseball to join San Francisco.

Farhadi shines in Spanish thriller
By Jocelyn Noveck
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
There are few more seduc-
tive things to watch onscreen
than a big, wine-soaked,
multi-generational family
wedding like the one that
happens early in “Everybody
Knows,” Asghar Farhadi’s
new thriller set in a pictur-
esque Spanish village.
But as good as Farhadi is at
portraying the infectious rev-
elry binding a family togeth-
er, he’s even better at explor-
ing what happens when those
binds start to fray. And they
do, pretty fast. The wedding
cake is barely cut before
anguished cries ring out and
smiles morph into concern
and fear.

Farhadi’s first movie set out-
side his native Iran, but it’s in
Spanish, a language he does-

bination of this high-wattage
real-life couple, the sun-dap-
pled scenery and the page-
turning plot have led some to
worry that Farhadi’s latest
effort might be a bit less inci-
sive or penetrating than his

All is not as it seems in Strindberg’s ‘Creditors’
By Judy Richter
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
What seems like friendliness becomes
sinister in August Strindberg’s “Creditors,”
presented by Aurora Theatre Company.
In this new version by David Greig,
Adolph (Joseph Patrick O’Malley) is
telling Gustav (Jonathan Rhys Williams), a
stranger who befriended him, about his mar-
riage.
Adolph, a genial artist, is concerned that
his wife, Tekla (Rebecca Dines), a novelist,
often goes off without him.
Encouraged by Gustave, Adolph reveals
deeper feelings. He says that Tekla calls
him little brother and herself big sister.
That seems a bit off, to say the least.
As their conversation continues, Gustav
reveals his misogyny. One suspects that he
isn’t there just to be friendly.
He tells Adolph, who has some physical
problems, that he might have epilepsy and
that he should abstain from sex for a year.
He eventually tears Adolph down before
saying that he’s leaving.
WEEKEND JOURNAL Weekend • Feb 9-10, 2019 21
Instead, Gustav eavesdrops as Tekla
returns and senses something is amiss with
Adolph. When Adolph leaves, Gustav
comes back in.
As one might have suspected, he’s her ex-
husband. Although coquettish at first, she
resists his advances and his pleas to return
to him. She says she loves Adolph. There’s
no happy ending.
Barbara Damashek directs this outstand-
ing cast with great skill, gradually building
the tension. Williams as Gustav becomes
ever more sinister.
O’Malley as Adolph tries to put on a
happy front, but he soon begins showing
the effects of Gustav’s manipulations.
As Tekla, Dines is a complex mix as she
holds her own against Gustav.
The play takes place in 1888 in the
lounge of a seaside hotel, where Tekla and
Adolph are on holiday.
Running about an hour and 40 minutes
without intermission, “Creditors” will con-
tinue through Feb. 24 at Aurora Theatre
Company, 2081 Addison St., Berkeley.

‘Wicked’ movie musical to fly
into theaters Christmas 2021
LOS ANGELES — The winds have
changed again for the long-awaited movie
version of the hit musical “Wicked.”
Universal Pictures says Friday that the
film will land in theaters on Dec. 22, 2021.
It had originally been on the schedule for
this December.
Stephen Daldry is still set to direct the
film, with Marc Platt producing.
Based on a 1995 book by Gregory
Maguire, “Wicked” is a reimagining of “The
Wizard of Oz” told from the perspective of
KNOWS
Continued from page 19
Oscar-winning “The Salesman” and “A
Separation.”
But Farhadi is as adept as ever here in
painting complex relationships tested by
the most trying of circumstances. And while
he may leave a few dimensions less than
fully mined — the village’s class and eco-
nomic tensions, for example — he’s created
a hugely engrossing study of a family under-
going a terrifying crisis.
We begin with the arrival of Laura (Cruz)
in her home village for her sister’s wedding,
her teenage daughter and young son in tow.
Laura’s been living for years in Argentina
with her architect husband Alejandro
(Ricardo Darin), who has stayed home from
the wedding for murky professional rea-
sons,
Laura arrives to a family bustling with
preparations for the big day. It doesn’t take
long for her to run into the jovial Paco
(Bardem), a local vineyard owner who seems
a de facto leader of the town. It also doesn’t
take long for us to learn that long ago, Laura
and Paco were lovers. Their names are even
etched in the wall of the church bell tower. A
local boy shows this to Irene (Carla
Campra), Laura’s daughter: “Everybody
knows,” he says.
That tantalizing title will come to mind
again and again, changing meaning as we
go along. Sure, maybe everybody knows of
Paco and Laura’s romance, but what else do
they know? Are there deeper, darker secrets
to emerge?
In any case, the joyful wedding — sumptu-
ously depicted with both intoxicating
close-ups and overheard shots that render
just a touch of menace — soon morphs into
a rainy, endless night. Laura goes to check
on her sleeping daughter and finds she’s
vanished. On a bed, someone has left news-
paper clippings about the kidnapping of an
8-year-old girl years ago.

BURBANK — Champagne is briefly
This is enough to send Laura into a panic.
Then comes the text from her daughter’s
captors: Don’t contact the police, or we’ll
kill her.
Whodunit? Suspicion falls on local
youths, or vineyard workers. Inevitably,
someone suggests: “Maybe it wasn’t a
stranger.” Alejandro flies in from Argentina.
Paco spearheads a desperate search. Laura
sinks deeper into a tailspin; Cruz’s expres-
sive face seems to become permanently tear-
streaked.
Gradually we learn about long-simmering
tensions between Laura’s father and Paco,
who once worked for the wealthy family,
bought land at a steep discount and now
operates a thriving vineyard. In one of the
best scenes, Laura’s father erupts: “You owe
your estate to me!” Paco’s zeal in searching
for Irene inevitably arouses tension with
his own wife, Bea (an excellent Barbara
Lennie), who’s at first eager to help, but
becomes frustrated at Paco’s seemingly
divided loyalties.
Meanwhile, time is running out. A huge
ransom is demanded. Irene has asthma and is
having trouble breathing, her captors warn.
The family agonizes over going to the
police. Even Alejandro falls under suspi-
cion: “Do you trust your husband complete-
ly?” Paco (a captivating Bardem, always
seemingly masking something) asks Laura.
Of course, more secrets will emerge,
including a whopper that you may see com-

sionally frustrating) are the red herrings
along the way.

Richard E. Grant recalls ‘Withnail’
By Jake Coyle
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Richard E. Grant
braved a paralyzingly cold night on
Thursday to attend a screening of
“Withnail & I,” his cultishly adored
film debut, in the midst of a whirlwind
and much-enjoyed campaign for his
Oscar-nominated turn in “Can You Ever
Forgive Me?”
That it was frigid was fitting. Grant
and his co-star, Paul McGann, both
playing hopelessly out-of-work
actors, spend much of 1987’s
“Withnail & I” either freezing, hungry
or, most of all, desperate for a drink.
“It’s like Greenland in here,” Grant’s
Withnail says. “We’ve got to get some
booze.”
If “Withnail” captured the lowest of
ebbs for an actor, Grant is, 33 years
later, riding the ultimate high. Once
again, it’s for playing, as he says, “an
alcoholic in a long coat” in a movie
about friendship and failure. Grant is
nominated for best supporting actor
for his Jack Hock in Marielle Heller’s
1990s New York drama. Hock is an old
acquaintance of biographer Lee Israel
(Melissa McCarthy) who, shortly
before she turns to forgery, is befriend-
ed by Hock in a bar. “This and that,” he
summarizes his doings in the lean,

began in the early morning, according
to prosecutors previously.
Officers responded at about 2 a.m. to
a report from a woman saying McGee
kicked her in the face during an argu-
ment at a home on the 700 block of
Windsor Way, according to police pre-
viously.
Police responding to the residence
were told by the woman that her
injuries were the result of an accident
and that she tripped and fell. After she

not necessary or is mitigated, accord-
ing to the plan. The goal for that park
is to install amenities for art classes
and potentially exhibitions while
Kehoe Park may see more creative play
structures while a bocce court and
horseshoe pit could be installed at
Johnston House Park, according to the
plan.
There are also plans for a new park
on city-owned property near the

intervening years. “Mostly that.”
But much more than it has for his
characters, fortune is smiling on
Grant. Even on a dark, cold night, he
was aglow with a spotlight that has
seldom found him.
“People on the street smile at you in
a way I’ve never experienced before,”
said Grant, with a scarf tucked snuggly
around his neck, in an interview before
the screening at the Manhattan reper-
tory sanctuary, the Film Forum. “I was
walking around SoHo and even in this
blistering minus-15 degree cold, I’ve
gave several inconsistent statements,
the woman declined to cooperate and
both she and McGee were intoxicated,
according to prosecutors.
Officers contacted McGee by phone
but he refused to leave the home and
started what would become an 11-hour
standoff with police. Officers issued a
shelter in place order for other resi-
dents in the area and recommended a
voluntary evacuation order for some,
according to prosecutors and police
previously.
Authorities surrounded the home and
continued to try to negotiate with him
but he refused to communicate with
officers, police said previously.
Coastside Baptist Church that would
include a natural play area for kids and
community garden. Other ideas for new
parks include an aquatic center and
community park, though improving
existing parks will be prioritized over
creating new ones.
Resident and Parks and Recreation
Commissioner Evelyn Erikson
applauded the master plan during pub-
lic comment and expressed support for
more community gardens.
“I’m especially excited about the
potential for developing one or more
community gardens, with a kitchen,”
she said, adding that many residents
don’t have access to growing space.

seen very friendly faces looking
toward me. I now accept that they’re
looking at me rather than looking
over my shoulder at someone else.
That’s a delight.”
Grant’s swooning reactions to his
Golden Globes and Oscars nomina-
tions have gone viral, as has his
social-media exchange with his child-
hood idol, Barbra Streisand. As a 14-
year-old growing up in Swaziland,
Grant wrote Streisand a letter offering
her a two-week holiday “respite” in the
tiny African country.
Because the woman gave inconsis-
tent statements both that night and the
next day when she was questioned and
did not want domestic violence
charges to move forward, prosecutors
did not feel the domestic violence
charge could be proven.
McGee previously worked as a detec-
tive, motor officer and member of the
SWAT team in his 29-year tenure with
the Redwood City Police Department.
He has been out of custody on a
$50,000 bail bond, according to pros-
ecutors.
McGee’s defense attorney Josh
Bentley could not be immediately
reached for comment.
“It is also critical that the next genera-
tion learn the basics of growing and
cooking their own food. … I do
believe that having access to high-
quality organic vegetables and fruits
will only ensure our small community
will have a hopeful and healthy
future.”
According to the plan, the city is
home to about 5 acres of developed
park land per 1, 000 residents and
Mayor Harvey Rarback wants to see
that number grow.
“My personal preference is to aim
higher and go to 8 acres per 1,000 res-
idents,” he said.

NOTICE! You have been sued. The court
may decide against you without your be-

days. Read the information below.
You have 30 CALENDAR DAYS after
this summons and legal papers are
served on you to file a written response
at this court and have a copy served on
the plaintiff. A letter or phone call will not
protect you. Your written response must
be in proper legal form if you want the
court to hear your case. There may be a
court form that you can use for your re-
sponse. You can find these court forms
and more information at the California
Courts Online Self-Help Center
(www.courtinfo.ca.gov/selfhelp), your
county law library, or the courthouse
nearest you. If you cannot pay the filing
fee, ask the court clerk for a fee waiver
form. If you do not file your response on
time, you may lose the case by default,
and your wages, money, and property
may be taken without further warning
from the court.
There are other legal requirements. You
may want to call an attorney right away.
If you do not know an attorney, you may
want to call an attorney referral service. If
you cannot afford an attorney, you may
be eligible for free legal services from a
nonprofit legal services program. You
can locate these nonprofit groups at the
California Legal Services Web site

Let’s talk: White House throws bipartisan Camp David retreat
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Can the presidential
retreat that produced the landmark Camp
David Mideast peace accord do anything to
help bridge the divides in polarized
Washington?
White House Acting Chief of Staff Mick
Mulvaney isn’t setting any lofty goals, but
he’s invited a bipartisan mix of legislators
to the rustic Maryland campus for an infor-
mal get-together this weekend as he tries to
build relationships across the aisle.
HURT
Continued from page 1
balancing her mayoral responsibilities
with work and family has not exactly been a
breeze, she said. Hurt is a single mother and
a lawyer by trade with her own consulting
firm and she also just took on a new role in
the county courts.
“But so far being mayor has been really
exciting,” she said. “For me it’s not about
the power, it’s about the possibilities and
letting people know that anybody can rise
to this position and be a figurehead and a
platform.”
Hurt moved to Belmont 14 years ago and
was attracted to the city because it was
affordable at the time, home to plenty of
open space and conveniently located near
San Francisco, San Jose and the East Bay
via State Route 92.
She also saw room for improvement.
“I saw potential in the city to be quite
LOCAL/NATION
While President Donald Trump hasn’t
shown much interest in spending time at
Camp David, it’s at least the third time
Mulvaney has used the remote complex in
Maryland’s Catoctin Mountain Park as neu-
tral ground for Washington political fig-
ures. He huddled there with Republicans last
month after Trump agreed to the short-term
budget deal that re-opened the government,
and he held a White House staff retreat at the
property not long after taking charge.
White House officials stressed the latest
honest, though I like the small village feel
and I still think we can maintain it with
thoughtful planning,” she said. “I’m excit-
ed about the possibilities of mixed business
and housing opportunities, affordable hous-
ing opportunities and also making it such
where our residents don’t have to go to
neighboring cities to get the things that
they need.”
As for what those specific businesses
should be, Hurt is eager to hear from the
community and consultants, but she was
happy to see Dog Haus open a location on
El Camino Real, for example, with a menu
that wasn’t otherwise represented in
Belmont and at a location that had been
tricky for past occupants.
She’s also open to a tech company mov-
ing to the city.
“It wouldn’t hurt, especially when we talk
about diversifying our revenue streams and
some of the folks in our city now are in tech
and startups,” she said, adding that a satel-
lite office in Belmont could help take cars
off of roads. “That’s the exciting thing

gathering had “no agenda,” even as it comes
in the midst of the ongoing budget stale-
mate over Trump’s long-promised border
wall. Instead, Mulvaney, a former congress-
man from South Carolina, sees the sleep-
over as an opportunity to build bipartisan
relationships at the quiet retreat.
“Camp David is a perfect setting for the
chief of staff to rekindle some old friend-
ships, forge new ones, and have a free
exchange of thoughts and ideas between
America’s policy makers, regardless of
about this council is that we’re open to
businesses that have not typically been in
Belmont.
“We definitely have a lot of people call-
ing our community development director
interested in when will the downtown plan
happen, what’s going on with certain city-
owned locations and can I plug in and play,”
she added.
For Hurt, one next step to implementing
the downtown plan is to work with Safeway
to reposition the store closer to El Camino
Real and underground the parking. Those
conversations are only beginning, and
she’s encouraged that the company at least
appears open to the council’s vision.
Hurt’s vision for downtown includes “out-
door living rooms” as she described them,
or public hangout spaces beyond restau-
rants, and placemaking and public art are
also a big part of her plans.
“Placemaking is about art and right now
Belmont is known as an art hub and I’m not
sure why, though there are great artists
here,” she said. “We need more public art

political party,” White House spokesman
Hogan Gidley said in statement.
He added in a Fox News interview that,
“There’s no agenda, there’s no set conversa-
tion about border security,” although the
issue was sure to come up.
Among those confirmed to attend are sev-
eral members of the committee working to
negotiate a border deal, including Reps.
Tom Graves, R-Ga., Chuck Fleischmann, R-
Tenn., and border state Democratic Rep.
Henry Cuellar of Texas.
around here and I see great opportunity for
that.”
To make that happen, Hurt wants to see
the city adopt an art impact fee for develop-
ment. Such a fee is being researched and,
while no number has been proposed, Hurt
noted that other cities have adopted art fees
of 1 percent.
For Hurt, the Twin Pines Park Master Plan
is also central to the downtown vision.
“[The plan] is an anchor to the downtown
and this new town center has to include this
marriage between park and urban,” she said.
Hurt’s vision, which is largely shared by
her council colleagues, represents more
change than Belmont has seen in decades.
“Our interest in creating a downtown with
great businesses and some housing — I
think some people are afraid of what that
looks like. We’re going to find a nice bal-
ance and remember there are a lot of needs
we’re trying to meet in that grand picture,”
she said. “But to me it’s a renaissance time
right now and I don’t want us to miss the
train.”

Acting AG overseeing Mueller
probe says he’s not interfered

WASHINGTON — Acting Attorney
General Matthew Whitaker said on
Friday that he has “not interfered in
any way” in the special counsel’s
Russia investigation as he faced a con-
tentious and partisan congressional
hearing in his waning days on the job.
The hearing before the House
Judiciary Committee was the first, and
likely only, chance for newly empow-
ered Democrats in the majority to grill
an attorney general they perceive as a
Donald Trump loyalist and whose
appointment they suspect was aimed at
suppressing investigations of the
Republican president. They confronted
Whitaker on his past criticism of spe-
cial counsel Robert Mueller’s work and
his refusal to recuse himself from over-
seeing it, attacked him over his prior
business dealings and sneeringly chal-
lenged his credentials as the country’s
chief law enforcement officer.

Volunteers ready US aid set for Venezuela as Maduro digs in

CUCUTA, Colombia — Dozens of
volunteers prepared sacks of rice,
canned tuna and protein-rich biscuits
for malnourished children at a ware-
house on the Colombian border on
Friday as Venezuela’s opposition
vowed to deliver the U.S. humanitarian
aid to their troubled nation, even if it
means mounting a mass mobilization
of their countrymen to carry it in.
As the food and hygiene kits were
packed into individual white bags in
the city of Cucuta, just across the river
from Venezuela, U. S. officials and
Venezuelan opposition leaders
appealed to the military to the let the
aid through.
Lester Toledo, who is representing
opposition leader Juan Guaido in the
aid mission, issued a message to
troops, telling them the aid contains
food and medicine their own families
need. He recalled how in 2016, a large
group of Venezuelan women dressed in
white and intent on crossing the
closed border with Colombia made
their way through a line of national

Hakeem Jeffries.
When Whitaker tried
to respond, the New
York Democrat
interrupted, “Mr.
Whitaker, that was a
statement, not a
question. I assume
Robert Mueller you know the differ-
ence.”
Yet Democrats yielded no new infor-
mation about the status of the Mueller
probe as Whitaker repeatedly refused to
discuss conversations with the presi-
dent or answer questions that he
thought might reveal details.
Though clearly exasperated — he
drew gasps and chuckles when he told
the committee chairman that his five-
minute time limit for questions was up
— Whitaker nonetheless sought to
assuage Democratic concerns by
insisting he had never discussed the
Mueller probe with Trump or other
White House officials, and that there’d
been no change in its “overall manage-
ment.”
“We have followed the special coun-

“I am convinced that the way we are
going to pass this aid is with the
Venezuelan people,” Toledo said at a
press event unveiling the aid. “People,
people and more people bringing in
humanitarian aid.”

New Hampshire court
upholds women’s topless conviction
New Hampshire’s highest court upheld Friday the convic-
tion of three women who were arrested for going topless on
a beach, finding their constitutional rights were not violat-
ed.
In a 3-2 ruling, the court decided that Laconia’s ordinance
does not discriminate on the basis of gender or violate the
women’s right to free speech.
Citing rulings by several other courts, Associate Justice
Anna Barbara Hantz Marconi wrote that courts “generally
upheld laws that prohibit women but not men from expos-
ing their breasts against equal protection challenges.”
“We have found that the ordinance does not violate the
defendants’ constitutional rights to equal protection or free-
dom of speech under the State and Federal Constitutions,”
Marconi wrote. “As such, it does not unduly restrict the
defendants’ fundamental rights. Accordingly, we agree with
the trial court that the City had the authority to enact the
ordinance.”
In a dissenting opinion, Associate Justice James P.
Bassett with Senior Associate Justice Gary E. Hicks con-
cluded the ordinance was unconstitutional because it treats
men and women differently.
Thai princess’ political bid

BANGKOK — Thailand’s chaotic politics took two aston-
ishing turns Friday when the sister of the king made a his-
toric bid to become prime minister, only to have him shut
down her effort as “inappropriate” because it violated tradi-
tion and the constitution, which keep the monarchy from
getting involved in politics.
The royal order from King Maha Vajiralongkorn was read
on national television late Friday night, effectively scut-
tling the move by his older sister, Princess Ubolratana

tion.”
Republicans made clear they viewed
the hearing as pointless political
grandstanding, especially since
Whitaker may have less than a week
left in the job, and some respected his
wishes by asking questions about top-
ics other than Mueller’s probe into
potential coordination between Russia
and the Trump campaign. The Senate is
expected to vote as soon as next week
on confirming William Barr, Trump’s
pick for attorney general.
“I’m thinking about maybe we just
set up a popcorn machine in the back
because that’s what this is becoming.
It’s becoming a show,” said Republican
Rep. Doug Collins of Georgia, who
accused his Democratic colleagues of
“character assassination.”
But Rep. Jerrold Nadler, the commit-
tee chairman who a day earlier had
threatened to subpoena Whitaker to
ensure his appearance, left no doubt
about his party’s focus.
