U.S. says crossing is full before caravan tries to seek asylum
By Elliot Spagat
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN DIEGO — A group of Central
Americans who journeyed in a caravan to the
U.S. border resolved to turn themselves in
and ask for asylum Sunday in a direct chal-
lenge to the Trump administration — only
to have U. S. immigration officials
announce that the San Diego crossing was
already at capacity.
Nearly 200 migrants, many traveling with
children, had decided to apply for protection
at the nation’s busiest border crossing after
many fled violence in their home countries,
organizers said. The caravan got attention
after President Donald Trump and members
of his Cabinet called it a threat to the United
States.
Shortly before the migrants were expected
to arrive, U. S. Customs and Border
Protection said San Diego’s San Ysidro
crossing would not immediately be able to
handle more asylum seekers. It can hold
about 300 people at a time, and officials had
been warning that it might fill up.
“At this time, we have reached capacity at
the San Ysidro port of entry for CBP officers
to be able to bring additional persons trav-
eling without appropriate entry documenta-
tion into the port of entry for processing,”
Commissioner Kevin McAleenan said in a
statement. “Those individuals may need to
wait in Mexico as CBP officers work to
process those already within our facilities.”
He said the crossing could take in addi-
tional people as space and resources become
available. Despite the news, about 200
migrants still started walking toward the
port.

As it gets warmer outside, Bay Area Air
quality officials are urging commuters to
limit driving and find other ways of travel-
ing to protect the region’s air quality.
On Monday, the 2018 Spare the Air smog
season begins in the San Francisco Bay
Area, officials with the Bay Area Air Quality
Management District said.
According to district officials, cars are the
largest source of smog pollution in the
region so they’re asking commuters to look
for ways to share, shorten or change their
commutes to cut smog, traffic and gridlock.
Air district Executive Officer Jack
Broadbent encourages residents to share
rides, install a cool roof, cut energy con-
sumption, recycle, compost and reduce
waste to help limit smog-forming chemi-
cals from building up in the area.

group of 20 migrants to see if U.S. border
inspectors would entertain their request for
asylum.
Figueroa said he doesn’t know if they
would be allowed in and had not received
word from U.S. immigration officials.
Nicole Ramos, an attorney working on
behalf of caravan members, expressed dis-
belief that U.S. authorities cannot process
more asylum seekers until its backlog eases.
“They have been well aware that a caravan
is going to arrive at the border,” she said at

resources is not the fault of the most vulner-
able among us. We can build a base in Iraq in

I don’t believe it.”
The migrants had made their way north by
foot, freight train and bus over the past
month, many of them saying they feared for
their lives in their home countries.
The Trump administration has been track-
ing the caravan since it started in Mexico on
March 25 near the Guatemala border.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions has called
the caravan “a deliberate attempt to under-
mine our laws and overwhelm our system.”

In Michigan, Trump urges voters to support GOP for Congress
By Kevin Freking
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. —
President Donald Trump, who ditched the
annual White House Correspondents’
Dinner for a campaign-style rally in
Michigan, urged voters to support
Republicans for Congress and repeatedly
cited Sen. Debbie Stabenow as one of the
Democrats who needed to be voted out of
office.
Trump took aim at familiar political tar-
gets and added a few fresh ones Saturday
night at the rally in Washington Township.
“Debbie Stabenow is one of the leaders
for weak borders and letting people in. I
don’t know how she gets away with it,”
Trump said. “A vote for a Democrat in
November is a vote for open borders and
crime. It’s very simple. It’s also a vote for
much higher taxes.”
Stabenow, who is running for re-election
to her fourth term, fired back Sunday that
voters are sick of the partisanship.
“Michigan families are tired of political
attacks,” said her spokeswoman, Miranda
Margowsky. “Instead they want results, and
that’s exactly what Senator Stabenow has
done.”
In Michigan, Trump also directed his ire
at another Democratic senator, Jon Tester of
Montana, over his role in the failed nomi-
nation of White House doctor Ronny
Jackson to run the Department of Veterans
Democrats strive to tighten their hold in several states
By Andrew Selsky
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
INDEPENDENCE, Ore. — Unfazed by
signs banning soliciting and dogs that
barked at her in almost every home she vis-
ited, a political newbie knocked on doors,
handed out campaign flyers and asked vot-
ers to elect her to the Oregon Senate.
Deb Patterson, who canvassed in the
riverside town of Independence on a recent
Saturday, hopes to win the May 15 primary
and unseat four-term Republican Sen.
Jackie Winters in November. A win could
propel Democrats into a “supermajority” in
the Legislature, with the ability to increase
state revenue without Republican support.
Democrats buoyed by anti-Trump politi-
cal activism want to wrest control of legis-
latures from Republicans, but they’re also
striving to tighten their hold in states
where they have an edge — or where con-
trol is split — in order to pass legislation
ranging from gun control to health care and
from taxation to campaign finance reform.
Republicans also consider these states
battlegrounds. In Oregon, a political
action committee called No
Supermajorities has received a $5,000 con-
tribution from Koch Industries, the Kansas-
based energy conglomerate of billionaire
brothers Charles and David Koch who
advocate for conservative causes.
“If even one Republican loses re-election
in November 2018, there is no telling what
kind of new taxes Democratic leaders might
push through, ” the PAC’s website pro-
claims.

Affairs. Tester, too, faces a competitive re-
election race this year.
“I know things about Tester that I could
say, too. And if I said ‘em, he’d never be
elected again,” Trump said without elaborat-
ing.
Tester, the top Democrat on the Senate
Veterans Affairs Committee, had his staff
compile a list of allegations against
Jackson based on interviews with more
than 20 military personnel, and they
released it with the support of the
Republican committee chairman.
“We have to stand up at the state level to push back
against the changes that are coming at the federal level.”
A supermajority is a level that exceeds
the threshold to produce a majority.
In Oregon, Democrats need just one more
seat in the Senate and one in the House to
reach a three-fifths supermajority in both
chambers. That would give them a better
shot at increasing corporate taxes in a state
where corporations pay one of the lowest
rates in the nation.
“We continue to have a pattern where
families pay more into the tax system to
support state services than do corporations
and businesses,” said Jeanne Atkins, chair
of the Democratic Party of Oregon. “With a
supermajority maybe there’s a better
chance, but of course the devil is always in
the details.”
Atkins called Patterson “a serious candi-
date” who’s among those who might take
seats from Republicans.
Patterson is a pastor at a rural church who
has worked as a health care advocate and
never held elected office. But after Donald
Trump was elected president in 2016 and
threatened the Affordable Care Act,
Patterson was so upset that she decided to
enter politics.
“I’m running for office because the last
election took me by surprise, and I real-
ized that people had to get active and get
involved, ” Patterson said after spending a
morning knocking on doors. “We have to

As he has at similar events, Trump pro-
moted top agenda items that energize con-
servatives: appointing conservative
judges, building a wall on the U.S.-Mexico
border, ending sanctuary cities and protect-
ing tax cuts approved by the Republican-led
Congress. He also took credit for the warm-

Heading into the 2018 elections,
Republicans control 32 state legislatures,
Democrats 13, and four are split between
the parties, according to the National
Conference of State Legislatures.
Nebraska, unique among U. S. states, is
unicameral and officially nonpartisan.
For their part, Republicans hope to
snatch seats away from Democrats in
November.
“Republicans have proven with the
right candidate and right policies they can
win in historically adverse areas, ” said
David James of the Republican State
Leadership Committee.
In New York, Democrats dominate the
state Assembly. On Tuesday, they won
two Senate seats in special elections,
leaving them one short of controlling
that chamber. In theory they have a one-
seat advantage, but a Democrat consis-
tently sides with Republicans. If
Democrats gain another Senate seat in
November, they can more easily push lib-
eral priorities like gun control, advance
voting and campaign finance reform.

“Great evening last night,” the president
tweeted early Sunday. “The enthusiasm,
knowledge and love in that room was unre-
al. To the many thousands of people who
couldn’t get in, I cherish you ... and will be
back!”
Trump chose a friendly venue for his rally,
which not coincidentally came the same
night as the annual White House
Correspondents’ Dinner. He skipped the
dinner last year.
“While Washington, Michigan, was a big
success, Washington, D. C. , just didn’t
work. Everyone is talking about the fact
that the White House Correspondents
Dinner was a very big, boring bust...the so-
called comedian really ‘bombed,”’ Trump
tweeted.
That barb was directed at Michelle Wolf,
who provided the after-dinner entertainment
for the White House press corps and their
guests, and whose performance was surpris-
ingly racy. After one crass joke drew groans
from the audience, Wolf laughed and said,
“Yeah, shoulda done more research before
you got me to do this.”
Before the Michigan rally, Trump had said
in a fundraising pitch that he had come up
with something better than being stuck in a
room “with a bunch of fake news liberals
who hate me.” He said he would rather spend
the evening “with my favorite
deplorables.”
the Senate Democrats, said of Tuesday’s
elections: “These electoral wins are part
of the ‘blue wave’ sweeping our state and
nation which will help even more Senate
Democratic candidates win in the upcom-
ing general election. ”
In Colorado, Democrats control the
House and are one seat away from flipping
the Senate. If they succeed, and hang onto
the governorship, health care would be a
priority, with single-payer or Medicaid
for all at the top of the agenda. They
would also try to strengthen gun control
legislation and undo several constitution-
al amendments that severely restrict
spending.
The national Democratic Legislative
Campaign Committee is also targeting
other key chambers like the Maine
Senate. Democrats in Maine need only
one seat to establish a majority in both
chambers - if they maintain control of the
House.
“We are harnessing the incredible
momentum we’ve seen from volunteers
and activists all over the country and
we’re mobilizing record numbers of door
knockers, volunteers making phone
calls, and doing everything we can to
elect more Democrats, ” said Mara Sloan
of the campaign committee.
Having a supermajority doesn’t always
translate into unity, though, as both
Democrats and Republicans discovered in
Illinois and Kansas.

Schools fret as teens take to vaping, even in class against
By Collin Binkley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON — Sneaking a cigarette in the
school bathroom? How quaint. Today’s
teens have taken to vaping, an alternative
to smoking that’s so discreet they can do it
without even leaving the classroom.
Health and education officials across the
country are raising alarms over wide under-
age use of e-cigarettes and other vaping
products.
The devices heat liquid into an inhalable
vapor that’s sold in sugary flavors like
mango and mint — and often with the addic-
tive drug nicotine. They’re marketed to
smokers as a safer alternative to traditional
cigarettes, but officials say they’re making
their way to teens with surprising ease.
A new wave of smaller vapes has swept
through schools in recent months, officials
say, replacing bulkier e-cigarettes from the
past. It’s now common in some schools to
find students crowded into bathrooms to
vape, or performing vape tricks in class.
“We’ve seen significant increases across
the student body,” said Robert Keuther,
principal at Marshfield High School on the
south shore of Massachusetts. “This is not
something specific to one group of kids. It’s
across all of my grades, nine to 12. It’s all
students.”
Vaping devices are notoriously difficult to
detect for schools, often leaving behind
only a quick puff of vapor and a light fruity
scent. Students get away with it in bath-
rooms, halls and even classrooms, where
some say they exhale the vapor into their
shirts.
Although buying e-cigarettes is illegal
under age 18 — and some states have
bumped the minimum age to 21 — students
say they can buy them online or from older
friends. Some say there are dozens available
for sale in school hallways at any given
time.
The rise of teen vaping has sparked con-
cern among parents, politicians and federal
health authorities, who on Tuesday
announced a nationwide crackdown on
underage sales of e-cigarettes.
The Food and Drug Administration issued
a warning to retail stores as part of its new
operation against illegal sales. It also
requested marketing and design documents
from the maker of the Juul, a popular vape
product that is shaped like a flash drive. The

agency says it’s looking into whether cer-
tain features are specifically appealing to
young people.
Some schools have been inundated by the
Juul, which dispenses a flavored vapor con-
taining higher concentrations of nicotine
than tobacco cigarettes.
The device’s maker says it’s intended only
for adults trying to quit smoking. Its web-
site aims to block underage customers, and
the company says it supports legislation to
raise the minimum age for vaping products
to 21 nationwide.
But critics say the Juul’s sweet flavors and
stealthy design seem to be aimed at kids. In
an April 18 letter to the FDA, a coalition of
medical and health groups called for a sus-
pension of online sales until authorities
create stronger rules against underage sales.
Similar measures have been backed by
school leaders including Keuther, who over-
sees 1,300 students south of Boston.
“There’s a reason why it’s marketed that
way,” he said, referring to the Juul’s con-
cealable design. “We wish there was a way
to curb that, because the industry is clearly
targeting younger kids.”
Many schools are pushing back with edu-
cation campaigns against vaping. Health
and gym classes feature new lessons on
potential risks. Teachers are being trained
on what to look for. Schools are producing
online videos on the dangers of e-ciga-
rettes.
At some schools, vaping penalties have
REUTERS
been raised to an automatic suspension.
Several in New Jersey now require drug tests
for offenders, partly because vapes can dis-
pense marijuana.
New York’s Plainedge High School was
among the first to install new bathroom
sensors that can detect e-cigarette vapor and
immediately alert administrators. Few stu-
dents have been caught so far, but officials
say that isn’t a sign of failure.
“The truth of the matter is the kids see it,
they know what it is — and it in itself is a
deterrent,” said Edward Salina, superintend-
ent of Plainedge Public Schools.
Whether schools’ efforts are making a
broader difference has yet to be seen,
though. Teen vaping decreased for the first
time in 2016 after rapidly rising for years,
according to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention. Updated numbers
are expected in June.
Medical experts are still trying to under-
stand the potential risks tied to vaping.
Most agree that it’s safer than smoking tra-
ditional cigarettes, but little is known about
long-term effects.
And while research has found trace
amounts of chemicals like formaldehyde in
many e-cigarettes, it’s unclear whether they
exist at levels that can cause health prob-
lems.
Some students say that it’s better to be
vaping than using cigarettes or other drugs.
Cameron Uldricks says he vapes almost
every day but has never smoked tobacco.

By Geoff Mulvihill

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. PAUL, Minn. — Facing a rising death
toll from drug overdoses, state lawmakers
across the country are testing a strategy to
boost treatment for opioid addicts: Force drug
manufacturers and their distributors to pay for
it.
Bills introduced in at least 15 states would
impose taxes or fees on prescription
painkillers. Several of the measures have
bipartisan support and would funnel millions
of dollars toward treatment and prevention
programs.
In Montana, state Sen. Roger Webb, a
Republican, sees the approach as a way to
hold drugmakers accountable for an overdose
epidemic that in 2016 claimed 42,000 lives
in the U.S., a record.
“You’re creating the problem,” he said.
“You’re going to fix it.”
Opioids include prescription painkillers
such as Vicodin and OxyContin as well as ille-
gal drugs such as heroin and illicit versions of
fentanyl. Public health experts say the crisis
started because of overprescribing and
aggressive marketing of the drugs that began
in the 1990s. The death toll has continued to
rise even as prescribing has started to drop.
A Pennsylvania opioid tax bill was intro-
duced in 2015 and a federal version was intro-
duced a year later, but most of the proposals
arose during the past year. The majority of
them have yet to get very far, with lawmakers
facing intense pressure from the pharmaceuti-
cal industry to scuttle or soften the legisla-
tion.
Drugmakers and distributors argue that it
would be wrong to tax prescription drugs, that
the cost increases would eventually be
absorbed by patients or taxpayers, and that
there are other ways to pay for addiction treat-
ment and prevention.
“We have been engaged with states to help
move forward comprehensive solutions to
this complex public health crisis and in many
cases have seen successes,” Priscilla
VanderVeer , a spokeswoman for
Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of
America, said in a statement. “However, we do
not believe levying a tax on prescribed medi-
cines that meet legitimate medical needs is an
appropriate funding mechanism for a state’s
budget.”

Trump gives thumbs down to comic who roasted his administration
By Darlene Superville
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The reviews are in:
President Donald Trump gave a thumbs-
down Sunday to the comedian who roasted
his chief spokeswoman at the annual White
House Correspondents’ Association dinner,
offending present and past members of his
administration, including one who walked
out in protest.
The organization’s leader said she regret-

Margaret Talev, the association’s presi-

ensuing uproar over Wolf’s jokes.
“My only regret is that to some extent

“I thought it sent an important message
about the role of government and the press
and being able to communicate with one

No Trump administration officials attend-
ed the dinner last year after Trump decided to
skip it. Many were in the audience Saturday
night, however, including counselor
Kellyanne Conway, herself a target of Wolf,
and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross.
Sanders sat at the head table with associa-

Talev said that, by tradition, the associa-

“We don’t censor it. We don’t even see it,”
she said.

Iraq’s IS trials bring swift
verdicts, almost all guilty
By Maya Alleruzzo
and Salar Salim
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
EL KEIF, Iraq — The entire trial lasted just over half an
hour. A grey-haired man was led into the defendant’s
booth. He fidgeted as the judge read the charges against
him: Swearing allegiance to the Islamic State group and
working for the militants as an employee at a water sta-
tion.
“Not guilty,” the defendant, Abdullah al-Jabouri, told
the judge in a session of one of Iraq’s counterterrorism
courts this week. He said he had worked for Nineveh
province’s water department for more than 20 years and
stayed at his post when IS took over in 2014, but he
denied ever swearing allegiance to the group.
“All government employees continued in their jobs at
the water facility,” the 47-year-old Sunni Arab protested.
“I am asking you to speak only about yourself,” the
judge interrupted him. Soon after, the judge and his two
associates went into deliberations. A few minutes later
they returned with their verdict: Guilty, sentenced to 15
years in prison. Al-Jabouri, his head bowed, was quickly
led out and the next accused IS member was ushered in.
Iraq is holding huge numbers of detainees on suspicion
of ties to the Islamic State group — around 11,000,
according to Iraqi officials — and they are being rushed
through counterterrorism courts in trials that raise ques-
tions over whether justice is being done. At the same time,
families are often left in the dark about where their loved
ones are being detained or what their fates are.
The Associated Press last week attended several trials
being held in Tel Keif, north of Mosul.
Throughout the system, the trials are usually short,
often less than 30 minutes, and most end with guilty ver-
dicts. Convictions are based on confessions that defen-
dants and rights groups say intelligence agents extract by
intimidation, torture and abuse. Also used as evidence are
reports from anonymous informants, raising the possibil-
ity of false accusations made as revenge against rivals.
The same defense lawyer works dozens of cases, with little
knowledge of the defendants.
Moreover, even limited involvement with IS can bring
harsh punishment. Under Iraq’s terror law, only three pun-
ishments are permitted — 15 years in prison, life impris-
onment or execution by hanging. All verdicts are reviewed
by Iraq’s Supreme Court.
“The system is built on an unjust foundation,” said one
defense lawyer, Mahfoudh Hamad Ismael. “These suspects’
cases are done and finished the first day they enter a secu-
rity detention center or an intelligence facility.”
The swift, truncated sessions reflect in part how Iraq’s
judicial system has been overwhelmed by the influx of
detained IS suspects. Rights groups have long criticized
Iraqi courts, saying they struggle to uphold due process.

Pompeo: U.S. stands with Israelis, Saudis against Iran
By Matthew Lee
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TEL AVIV, Israel — U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo
on Sunday ratcheted up the Trump administration’s rhetoric
against Iran and gave warm boosts of support to Israel and
Saudi Arabia in their standoffs with Tehran.
Pompeo’s comments in Riyadh and then Tel Aviv came as
he neared the end of the Middle East leg of his first trip
abroad as America’s top diplomat. He has called for con-
certed international action to punish Iran for its missile
programs and other actions that he said destabilize the
region.
The tough line was welcomed by his hosts, particularly
in Israel, which considers Iran its greatest threat and has
led calls for the West to revise or reject the 2015 nuclear
deal with Iran.
“We remain deeply concerned about Iran’s dangerous
escalation of threats to Israel and the region and Iran’s
ambition to dominate the Middle East remains,” Pompeo
said after a nearly two-hour meeting with Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “The United States is with
Israel in this fight.”
Israel has cited Iran’s hostile rhetoric, support for anti-
Israel militant groups and development of long-range mis-
siles.
It also has complained the nuclear deal does not do
enough to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear-weapons
capability, and expressed concerns about Iran’s involve-
ment in the civil war in neighboring Syria. Israel says it
will not allow Iran to establish a permanent military pres-
ence in Syria, fearing the Iranians use it to launch attacks.
“Iran must be stopped, its quest for a nuclear bomb must
be stopped, its aggression must be stopped and we’re com-
mitted to stopping it together,” Netanyahu said.
President Donald Trump is to decide by May 12 whether
to keep the U.S. in the nuclear deal. Pompeo repeated the
Trump position that “if we can’t fix it, he is going to with-
draw.”
Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir said the kingdom
“supports the policy of the Trump administration against
Iran and to improve the terms of the nuclear agreement with
Iran.”
Israeli says 3 Palestinian infiltrators from Gaza killed
By Ian Deitch
ASSOCIATED PRESS
JERUSALEM — Israeli troops fatally shot two
Palestinians who infiltrated the country from Gaza and
attacked soldiers with explosives Sunday night, and in a sep-
arate incident killed another Palestinian who tried to breach
the border, the military said.
Another Palestinian was detained in the latter incident, and
two more were caught trying to cross the border in a third
case, the military said.
The Gaza border has been tense in recent weeks, with the
Islamic militant group Hamas that rules Gaza urging mass
Palestinian protests there every Friday as part of a weeks-
long campaign against a decade-old blockade of the territo-
ry. The protests have turned violent and 39 Palestinians have
been killed during the unrest, which began March 30.
Israel says that it is defending its sovereign border, includ-
ing nearby communities, and that its troops target only

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, right, shakes hands
with U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in Tel Aviv.
Netanyahu also welcomed the U. S. recognition of
Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and the scheduled move of its
embassy from Tel Aviv on May 14. Pompeo said the U.S. is
“incredibly proud” of that upcoming move.
The Palestinians claim Israeli-annexed east Jerusalem as
their capital. They have criticized the U.S. move and all but
cut off ties with the White House.
Pompeo had no meetings planned with any Palestinian
official and it was not immediately clear whether there had
been any outreach to the Palestinians about his trip, which
was to end in Jordan on Monday.
In Riyadh, Pompeo said Iran “destabilizes this entire
region” and he also urged the Saudis and their neighbors to
resolve a festering dispute with Qatar. U.S. officials say
Iran is exploiting it to boost its influence in the region,
including in Yemen and Syria.
Pompeo met with Saudi King Salman, whose country,
along with Bahrain, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates, is
embroiled in a row with Qatar that had undermined Gulf
Arab unity and frustrated the U.S. as it seeks to blunt grow-
ing Iranian assertiveness.
instigators. Israel accuses Hamas, which is sworn to Israel’s
destruction, of trying to carry out attacks under the guise of
the mass protests.
The military said that “two terrorists who infiltrated into
Israel hurled explosive devices” at soldiers Sunday night.
The soldiers returned fire, killing them.
About a half hour earlier, two Palestinians damaged the
security fence and tried to cross into Israel. Troops opened
fire, killing one, the military said. The other was detained for
questioning, it said.
In a third incident, soldiers spotted two Palestinians trying
to breach the border. They were arrested and found to have
knives and wire cutters on their persons, the military said.
There was no immediate comment from Hamas in Gaza.
Also Sunday, the Israeli army said most of the deaths of
Palestinians during the Gaza unrest have been unintentional.
An unidentified senior officer in Israel’s southern command
told the newspaper Haaretz that snipers have been aiming at
protesters’ legs, but people were killed after bending down.

This letter is in response to an arti-

is about the new “carpool/toll” lane
between Interstate 380 and Whipple

Really? Another toll lane in the
Bay Area! Congratulations once again
to the elected “leaders” of our coun-
ty. They are spending $514 million
and doing nothing to reduce the traffic
on the north end of the Peninsula.  All
this lane will do is get more people,
faster, to the 92 and 101 mess, oops,
I mean interchange.  signs in windows and faded pictures
Why have we not built a bridge
from Highway 238 to Interstate 380?
In doing that, the traffic coming in
from the valley could use that new
bridge to get to both the southern
area of San Francisco and the north
end of the Peninsula and the people
going to San Mateo or central area of
the county could use the San Mateo
bridge. In doing so, there would actu-
ally be some relief to the 101 traffic
corridor.  Puzzled by endorsement
Also, kudos to Supervisor David
Canepa for thinking of the people
who this “toll lane” will affect. A
final note for us taxpayers, $514 mil-
lion divided by 14 miles works out to
$36,714,285.71 per mile. What a
bargain, and that’s if it is the actual
price. I am going to wait to see the
“actual” final cost.

at hand.
1). The most frequently found litter
is the parking receipts spit out by the
pay stations and discarded by the pay-
ers. When the stations were installed,
trash receptacles should have been
installed also, or an option provided
for the machines not to print a receipt
if not wanted.

ly outside carryout restaurants) and
never seem to be cleaned.

Lawmakers call for gun control
Editor,
I found your edition of Monday,
April 16 very interesting, especially
the front-page article entitled
“Lawmakers call for Gun Control.”
The really intriguing thing about this
article is that although Mrs. Speier
and Mr. Mullin say that “more could
be done” to control gun violence,
they are very much lacking in specific
recommendations as to how public
safety might be better served. Perhaps
that is because both of these public
servants very well know that the
Supreme Court of the United States
has recently ruled that every American
has a constitutional right to possess
firearms, not for sport, but for self-
defense (District of Columbia v.
Heller, 554 US 570 2008).
So Mrs. Speier and Mr. Mullin
know that any legislative efforts to
inhibit gun sales or gun ownership
tions. I understand their desire to
show sympathy to victims of crime,
and I agree that some absolutely
horrendous things have happened,
but I doubt that this problem will
ever be successfully addressed by
legislation. The problem is not a
detachable pistol grips; the problem
is that there are so many crazy peo-
ple running around in our country
now. Why? I suppose you could
point to a precipitous decline
in adherence to biblical faith, a
spectacular increase in drug use and
single-parent family situations, and
the emergence of a popular culture
which celebrates death and depravity
over the last 50 years. Our legisla-
tors will not be able to change that.
It’s up to us to change that. How?
I’m sorry but we have to ask God to
work in our country. We will not be
able to improve our situation with-
out him.

In 2020, it’s hard to believe that state Sen. Jerry Hill,
D-San Mateo, will be termed out. A perfect example of
why term limits for our state legislators are a bad idea.
Hill has been the ultimate public servant since he was first
elected to the San Mateo City Council in 1991. I served
with Hill on the council for five years and witnessed first-
hand how dedicated he was. He was always prepared, and
was a leader in making changes for the better. He never
missed a council meeting. He attended functions large and
small. And it wasn’t just rushing in for a few minutes to be
seen but to stay for the entire time. He has exemplified
this work ethic as a member of the Board of Supervisors
(10 years), as a California Assemblyman (four years) and
as a member of the state Senate for 12 years. He is a leader
in Sacramento, respected for the number of bills he gets
signed and for his popularity back home. He will be a hard
act to follow.
San Mateo has been fortunate in the quality and experi-
ence of its legislators. Before Hill, U.S. Rep. Jackie
Speier, D-San Mateo, was our state senator. Before then,
she too served on the Board of Supervisors and then in the
California Assembly. Before Speier, it was Quentin Kopp
(who represented northern, central San Mateo County and
San Francisco) who was a longtime member of the San
Francisco Board of Supervisors before being elected state
senator. Ordinarily Assemblyman Kevin Mullin, D-South
San Francisco, would run for Hill’s seat and he still could.
But term limits for legislators was modified in 2012 to
allow a maximum of 12 years, either in the Assembly or
state Senate or a combination of the two. Mullin, who is
Assembly speaker pro tem, might prefer to stay in that
body where he could have a chance to become speaker. He
has six years left before he, too, is termed out. Another
possibility would be Supervisor Carole Groom who has
served two terms on the county board following nine
years as a San Mateo councilwoman. But she is running
for a third term.
So who will follow Hill? It’s still early but, to date,
there are two possible names circulating as possible can-
didates. Shelly Masur, a three-year member of the
Redwood City Council, indicates she plans to run. She
also served on the Redwood City Elementary School
District board for 10 years and was chair of the county
school boards association. She is CEO of a local nonprof-
it education foundation. In 2012, she ran for a seat on the
Board of Supervisors but was defeated by Warren Slocum.
There is also speculation that Supervisor Dave Pine may
consider a run. He has been a supervisor for seven years.
Before that he served on the Burlingame Elementary
School District board (four years) and the San Mateo
Union High School Board (five years). Before that, he was
an attorney for several Silicon Valley tech firms. As a
younger man, he ran for the California Assembly in 2002
and lost but, before he moved to California, he was a
member at age 19 of the New Hampshire House of
Representatives.

Gators making splash in WCAL

When Sacred Heart Prep senior Jack
Crockett was lost to injury after a March
17 non-league win over Redwood-
Larkspur, the state-power Gators could
have crumbled.
Instead, the SHP boys’ lacrosse team
shuffled its lineup, proved its depth
through the middle and has emerged as one
of the league frontrunners in the program’s
first season in the West Catholic Athletic
League. The Gators are currently tied for
first place in the WCAL with Menlo
School. Both teams joined the WCAL this
year after playing in the Peninsula Athletic
League the previous two years.
SHP has one regular-season match
remaining, a Thursday showdown at
Serra. A victory would clinch at least a
share of the WCAL title for the Gators. It
would mark their fifth straight league
championship, and their third different
league championship in the past four
years. Prior to winning the PAL title in
2016 and ’17, SHP won the Santa Clara
Valley Athletic League title its last two
years in the league.

Barcelona wins league title
in an almost perfect season
By Tales Azzoni
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MADRID — Barcelona is celebrat-
ing yet another Spanish league title
to cap a nearly perfect season.
Unbeaten Barcelona added to its
domestic dominance by winning La
Liga for the third time in the last four
seasons on Sunday, remaining
unbeaten after 34 rounds. Lionel
Messi scored a hat trick and Philippe
Coutinho added a goal to give
Barcelona a 4-2 win at Deportivo La
Coruna and an insurmountable 11-
point lead over Atletico Madrid.
“We know how difficult it is to win
this league,” Messi said. “We were
better than our rivals. There is a lot
of merit to winning this title with-
out any losses.”
Barcelona has won 26 league
games and drawn eight, with four
matches left.
It was Barcelona’s seventh league
title in 10 seasons and 25th overall.
Real Madrid, last year’s champion,
leads with 33 La Liga trophies.
Barcelona has also thrived in the
Copa del Rey, the country’s second-
most important club competition,
winning it for the last four seasons.
“The hardest thing is to keep win-
ning,” said coach Ernesto Valverde,
who is celebrating his first league
title in his debut season with
Barcelona. “You have to find a way
to keep coming back.”
Barcelona’s next goal is to try to
finish the league unbeaten, some-
thing which has never happened in
the competition’s current format.
“It’s been an almost perfect sea-
son for us in the league,” midfielder
Sergio Busquets said.
Barcelona’s biggest setback this
season came in the Champions
League, when it was eliminated by

Andres Iniesta, who last week

The hosts paid tribute to
Barcelona even before the match
started with its squad lining up out-

rivals as they entered the field. Most
of the opposing fans at Riazor also
applauded Barcelona’s players.
Coutinho opened the scoring in
the seventh minute with a well-
placed shot into the top corner after
a pass by Ousmane Dembele, and
Messi added to the lead in the 38th
with a strike from near the far post
after a perfect cross by Luiz Suarez.

earned only two victories in 13
matches since arriving to try to save
Deportivo from relegation. The
team has lost six times and drawn
five under his command, returning to

Astros 8, A’s 4
Giants win series; Dodgers bench Bellinger Cole K’s 12; A’s
By Michael Wagaman
Giants 4, Dodgers 2
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO — Cody Bellinger was

the Los Angeles Dodgers’ best young player
in 2017, a slugger who won Rookie of the
Year honors, set a franchise record for new-
bies with 39 homers and drove in 97 runs.
On Sunday, Bellinger became the poster
boy for what is wrong with the slumping NL
champions.
Manager Dave Roberts benched him for
what he called a lack of
hustle after Bellinger
pulled up while legging
out a double in the fifth
inning of the Dodgers’ 4-
2 loss to the Giants.
According to Roberts,
Bellinger should have
tried to go for third base
Dave Roberts on a ball that landed on
the warning track in an
area of AT&T Park known as Triples Alley.
“For me, he’s too talented of a player to do
that,” Roberts said. “For Cody not to take
third base, I would do no service to the team
or him by not acting upon it. We’ve had dis-
cussions about it. If guys aren’t doing that,
it’s on me.”
Bellinger, the only Dodgers player to
have more than one hit in the game, disput-
ed Roberts assessment but wasn’t upset.
“I’m always hustling,” Bellinger said. “It
just didn’t make sense to me, but I get it as
well. He’s trying to prove a point. I don’t
think anyone can tell me how to play. I’ve
always played hard.”
Bellinger didn’t stay on second base
long. He was doubled off on a line drive
caught by diving shortstop Brandon
Crawford, and later pulled.

anyone could ask for,” said Emily Cotla,
currently in her sophomore season at
College of San Mateo, who played with
Gregory from 2012-14. “She wasn’t self-
ish. She just gave her all on the field. …
She just never gave up and was just posi-
tive. She was just the best teammate any-
one could ask for.”
El Camino head coach Manny Cotla pro-
posed the idea of the trophy at the start of the
season. Cotla previously coached at South
City while his daughter Emily Cotla played
there. During that time, he coached Gregory.
“Manny talked to me at our meeting for our
league and he just kind of said football has
‘The Bell’ (trophy), and baseball has ‘The
Glove’ (trophy),” South City head coach Nick
Cerecedes said. “Softball doesn’t have any-
thing. So he said, let’s do the Michela
Gregory Trophy and the teams will play for it
every year.”
While El Camino generally plays its home
games at the Terrabay Recreation Center soft-
ball diamond, Saturday’s game was moved to
San Bruno Park to accommodate a larger
crowd. Both Gregory and Vega’s parents were
on hand, and a pregame ceremony was held to
dedicate the new award.
“Tears from everybody,” Manny Cotla said.
“They were just thrilled we were doing some-
thing. … And I said, ‘your daughter name
won’t be forgotten. We will play for her tro-
phy every year now.’”

With the WCAL playoffs opening
Monday, May 7, the Gators sharpened their
teeth with their final non-league tuneup of
the year Saturday in an 18-5 win over Los
Gatos at SHP. On display was a lineup that
differs greatly from the past three seasons,
each of which saw the Princeton-bound
Crockett lead the team in scoring.
Saturday, it was the Barnds brothers who
stepped up. Junior forward Tommy Barnds
has been a force all season. After starting the
year as a midfielder, he converted to forward
to take over for Crockett. He and his
younger brother, Billy Barnds, scored four
goals apiece to pace SHP against Los Gatos.
All of Billy Barnds’ goals came during a
spectacular first quarter, as the freshman
scored all four during the opening 12 minutes.

A pregame ceremony is held to honor the late Michela Gregory Saturday at San Bruno Park.
Gregory’s No. 32 was outlined in the middle
of the diamond, El Camino freshman Taylor
Hardley sang the national anthem and an hon-
orary first-pitch was thrown out by Gregory’s
brother and Vega’s father simultaneously.
Manny Cotla said there were more people in
attendance than usual.
“I was surprised,” Manny Cotla said. “Both
sides of the benches were pretty full. Pretty
good showing from both South City and El
Camino. … It was really nice.”
The venue was fitting in that Gregory used
to play at the San Bruno Park softball dia-
“I got open for a lot of
shots and I just made
them, ” Billy Barnds
said. “They were just
going in.”

When the Ghost Ship fire struck in 2016,

one day later, according to Manny Costla.
“It was a shock to hear that that someone
close to us … was missing,” Emily Cotla said.
“It was kind of scary.”
“When we heard there were victims, we were
all praying that she wasn’t there anymore,”
Manny Cotla said. “But she was still there.
And it hit us hard because we had known her
for so long.”
With the teams unifying during the ceremo-
ny prior to Saturday’s game, getting lost in
the shuffle was the competitive aspect of the
game to follow. It was indeed a key game for
South City. The Lady Warriors scored a 6-4
comeback victory. Trailing 2-1 in the fifth,
South City sophomore Lafu Malepeai pro-
duced a bases-loaded three-run double to give
the Warriors the lead.
Not only did the Warriors earn the first annu-
al Michela Gregory Trophy, with it they
clinched the Peninsula Athletic League Ocean
Division title outright.
“The whole game was just for a young lady,”
Cerecedes said. “That’s what [Saturday] was all
about. It wasn’t, ‘hey we clinched it.’ … It was
kind of an emotional day for both sides. It was
as good game.”
Gregory is remembered as a talent who
played both outfield and pitcher at South City.
During her last full year with the team in
2013, she batted .327 and ranked second on
the team with both a .468 on-base percentage
and six stolen bases.
“Even though it was a rivalry game, I can’t
explain it, it was kind of a sad and happy
moment,” Cerecedes said. “It’s sad that a
young lady passed away in a tragedy, but in a
happy way we’re remembering her in a game
that she loved.”
Barnds said. “We missed a lot of shots. Their
goalie played really well. It’s a game we
could have won. Both teams played really
well though.”
The three-round WCAL playoffs mark the
end of the boys’ lacrosse season, which is
not recognized by the Central Coast
Section. After quarterfinal play Monday,
May 7 in the single-elimination tourna-
ment, the semifinals are slated for
Wednesday, May 9, with the championship
match Friday, May 11.
Rotelli said he expects SHP to meet St.
Ignatius again in the tournament.
“We can play better, and we’ll have to play
better, if we want to beat them,” Rotelli said.
Rotelli said he wasn’t completely sur-
prised the Gators rallied after Crockett’s
injury, though contributions from the
team’s five freshman weren’t entirely
expected. SHP has proved more than a mar-
que-player machine. Depth, Rotelli said,
allowed the Gators to forge ahead.
“Since then our defense has gotten better,”
Rotelli said. “It’s been a full team effort.”

Logano snaps losing streak

Preds go to double-OT to even series

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Kevin
Fiala scored 5:37 into double over-

beat the Winnipeg Jets 5-4 Sunday
night in Game 2 to even the Western
Conference semifinal series.
The Presidents’ Trophy winners
had the NHL’s best road record dur-

Predators got the split they needed
before this series switches to
Winnipeg for Game 3 on Tuesday
night. That’s where the Jets post-

Craig Smith and Fiala skated up
on a 2-on-1, and Jets defenseman

cross-ice pass to Fiala who beat
goalie Connor Hellebuyck with a
backhander.
Ryan Johansen scored two goals,
Viktor Arvidsson had a goal and

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TALLADEGA, Ala. — Joey
Logano had a clear race track in
his windshield and a pack of fel-
low Ford drivers on his bumper.
That combination helped the Team
Penske driver snap a nearly year-
long losing streak.
Logano won Sunday at Talladega
Superspeedway
to snap a streak
that dated to
April 30 of last
year. That win
at Richmond
was later dis-
qua l i f i e d
because his car
failed inspec-
Joey Logano tion, so the
benefits from the victory were
stripped and it cost him a spot in
the playoffs.
Out front at Talladega, which is
usually the worst place to be in
the closing laps, Logano couldn’t
be caught. His Ford teammates
were committed to getting a Ford
the win, and they waited patiently
in line until the closing laps to
make their attempt at snatching
the victory away from Logano.
Only Kurt Busch was bold
enough to make an early move, and
he wrongly thought defending race
winner Ricky Stenhouse Jr. would
go with him. Stenhouse didn’t get
to Busch in time, Kevin Harvick
wasn’t prepared for Busch to go so
early, and Busch couldn’t garner
enough steam to catch Logano.
Logano sailed to an easy victo-
ry at a track where he should have
been forced to defend several
attempts at a pass on the final lap.
“I really thought (Busch and
Harvick) were the cars, no matter
where they went, if they got to the
outside of me, I was hosed. I knew
that. That would have been the end
of it for me,” Logano said. “I
would have gotten passed by pret-
ty much the whole train. I would
have lost so much momentum. I
knew they were going to work
together, as they should. Once
they got picked apart, think that
was the game changer.”
It was Logano’s third career win
at Talladega.
Busch finished second, his
career best finish at Talladega, as
Ford drivers went 1-2.
Chase Elliott was third in a
Chevrolet for Hendrick
Motorsports, while Kevin
Harvick was fourth in a Stewart-
Haas Racing Ford. Ricky
Stenhouse Jr. was fifth, David
Ragan sixth and Aric Almirola
seventh as Ford drivers took six
of the seven spots.

After allowing just three goals through

Game 1 was his third of the postseason, but
the Sharks peppered him throughout Game
2, outshooting the Golden Knights, 47-29.
The 14-year veteran said the lack of disci-
pline, and even his own mistakes, are noth-
ing to dwell on if the Golden Knights want
to steal back home-ice advantage.
“We have a good bunch of guys, we’ve
been through a lot together this year,”
Fleury said Sunday. “You win 7-0 or you lose
like last night, you always got to start fresh
every night. I think we’ve been doing that,
for the first round and the first game of San
Jose. Every game is a new start, you got to
start from scratch and try to win that one.”
Burns’ second-period goal ended Fleury’s
scoreless streak of 143:51, dating back to
Game 3 of the opening round versus Los
Angeles.

‘Infinity War’ opens with record $250 million
By Jake Coyle
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — A whole lot of superheroes
added up to a whole lot of ticket sales. The
superhero smorgasbord “Avengers: Infinity
Wars” opened with predictable shock-and-
awe, earning $250 million in box office
over the weekend and edging past “Star
Wars: The Force Awakens” to set the highest
opening weekend of all-time.
“Infinity War,” which brings together
some two dozen superheroes in the 10-year
culmination of Marvel Studio’s “cinematic
universe,” also set a new global opening
record with $630 million even though it’s
yet to open in China, the world’s second-
largest movie market. It opens there May
11.
According to the Walt Disney Co.’s esti-
mates Sunday, “Infinity War” overwhelmed
the previous global best (“The Fate of the
Furious” with $541.9 million) but narrowly
topped “The Force Awakens” in North
America. The “Star Wars” reboot debuted
with $248 million in 2015, which would
translate to about $260 million accounting
for inflation.
But both intergalactic behemoths belong
to Disney, which now owns nine of the top
10 opening weekends ever — six belonging
to Marvel releases. That includes “Black
Panther,” which has grossed $1.3 billion
since opening in February and still managed
to rank fifth at this weekend’s box office,
thanks partially to Marvel fans self-pro-
gramming a double-feature.
The track record for Marvel, along with
the hyper, extravagant effort put into the
long-planned “Infinity War, ” made the
record-setting weekend something of a fait
accompli. After ten years, 18 prior films and
some $15 billion in box office, the weekend
was an assured and long-awaited coronation
for Kevin Feige’s Marvel, the most domi-
nant force in a Hollywood with precious few
sure things.
“To have now the biggest movie of
domestic history as one of the Marvel cine-
matic universe films seems like a fitting
tribute to the Marvel Studios team which
has had just an astounding, unmatched run
in the last decade,” said Dave Hollis, head of

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — MSNBC’s Joy Reid, under
fire for homophobic language in old blog

ments that belittled or mocked the LGBTQ
community and says she hasn’t been able to
verify her claim that her account was hacked.
Reid opened her weekend show “AM Joy”
by acknowledging has said “dumb” and “hurt-
ful” things in the past. “The person I am now
is not the person I was then,” she said.
But she was unable to explain blog posts
from a decade ago that mocked gay people and
individuals who were allegedly gay. Reid has
denied posting them altogether but says secu-
rity experts she hired who looked into
whether she had been a hacking victim found
no proof.

The most recent ‘Avengers’ film enjoyed a record-setting weekend at the box office, drawing

distribution for Disney.
By any measure, the 2-hour-and-40
minute-long “Infinity War” is one of the
largest films ever assembled. With a produc-
tion budget reportedly almost $300 mil-
lion, Joe and Anthony Russo’s film brings
together the stars of Marvel’s superhero sta-
ble, including Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron
Man, Chris Hemsworth’s Thor, Chadwick
Boseman’s Black Panther, Chris Evans’
Captain America, Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk, and
many more.
It was shot over 18 months back-to-back
with a sequel due out next summer. Marvel
spent years laying the groundwork for the
big showdown, teasing its villain (Josh
Brolin’s Thanos) since 2014. The result
earned positive reviews (84 percent fresh on
Rotten Tomatoes) and an A CinemaScore
from audiences. All but one of Marvel’s 19
cinematic universe releases has scored an A
CinemaScore.
As if to further stamp its pronounced
enormity, “Infinity War” was also the first
film shot entirely with IMAX cameras.
(Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” was mostly
shot on IMAX.) IMAX screenings account-
ed for a record $41 million of the weekend’s
global ticket sales. Greg Foster, head of

when she was covering Florida politics a

Florida Gov. Charlie Crist as “Miss Charlie”
and suggested he was “ogling the male wait-
ers” on his honeymoon after marrying his
wife, whom he has since divorced. She ques-
tioned whether the marriage was a sham by a
gay man who thought it would help him polit-
ically.

BUDGET
Continued from page 1
Though Maltbie said the city has been
able to expand services and address needed
infrastructure improvements with a full-time
staff of under 80, he said the booming econ-
omy and influx of developments in the city
have put a strain on the Community
Development Department, which has
received an unprecedented number of devel-
opment and building permit applications in
recent years.
By ushering in major infrastructure proj-
ects needed to accommodate growth in the
city, such as the Holly Street and Highway
101 interchange, the city’s Public Works
Department is also busier than it has been in
decades, added Maltbie. Increases to the con-
tract planning services and street and facili-
ties maintenance those departments manage
are among the additional services contribut-
ing to the nearly 7 percent increase in gen-
eral fund expenditures to more than $44 mil-
lion expected in the 2018-19 fiscal year,
according to a staff report.
Maltbie pegged the city’s obligations to
the California Public Employees Retirement
System, or CalPERS, as a source of volatili-
ty for the budget in the coming years. He
said the city has been effective in managing
its obligations to CalPERS — for which the
city had an unfunded balance of approxi-
mately $57 million in August of 2017 —
noting the City Council’s decision earlier
this month to dedicate $7 million of the
city’s unfunded liability reserve to pay down
the city’s employee pension obligations.
But he said the uncertainty related to the
city’s obligations would be tied to changes
the system may make to its funding require-
ments, which is out of the city’s control.
“That’s an area right now that’s putting a
lot of pressure on a lot of cities,” he said.
Maltbie also noted a changing regulatory
structure for infrastructure like the sewer sys-
tem has put pressure on the city to invest
millions of dollars in aging pipes that had
t t
t
NATION/ LOCAL
not been adequately maintained for decades.
He also pointed to the city’s comparatively
low tax rate at the time of Proposition 13’s
passage in 1978, which he said makes San
Carlos more reliant on other, less pre-
dictable sources of revenue such as licenses
and permits and business taxes, as a factor in
the city’s exploration of an increase of its
hotel tax, which currently stands at 10 per-
cent.
“We’re all dealing with a different source
of revenue and a different share of the rev-
enue from one city to another,” he said.
With an observation the city has conser-
vatively estimated its revenue streams in
the past, Councilman Mark Olbert won-
dered if projections closer to the actual rev-
enue collected could be calculated. Given
the unpredictability of some of the sources,
such as the timing of when developers
apply for permits or the opening of new
businesses in the city, Maltbie said plan-
ning conservatively has worked well for
the city, which has realized surpluses in
years when revenue exceeded projections.
Maltbie added those surpluses, which
have reached up to $3 million in recent
years, have contributed to the city’s
reserves, which rose above $35 million in
the 2016-17 fiscal year and are dedicated to
a variety of funds, including those for eco-
nomic uncertainty, strategic property
acquisition and infrastructure.
With a concern about the impact of con-
struction projects on city streets and infra-
structure, Councilman Matt Grocott asked
staff to ensure sufficient fees are collected
from developers and used to cover the costs
related to their effect on the surrounding
area.
“We’re putting usage on our infrastructure
… that is over and above what we would see
if we didn’t have all this construction
going on,” he said. “It’s my opinion that
we need to take some of the good that we’re
getting money-wise from those projects and
commit it to some of our infrastructure proj-
ects.”
San Carlos officials will continue their
study session 9 a.m. May 4 at City Hall, 600

Health care is new challenge for
transgender rights under Trump
By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Military service.
Bathroom use. Job bias. And now, health
care.
The Trump administration is coming
under fire for rewriting a federal rule that
bars discrimination in health care based on
“gender identity.” Critics say it’s another
attempt to undercut acceptance for transgen-
der people.
The Health and Human Services
Department rule dates to the Obama adminis-
tration, a time when LGBT people gained
political and social recognition. But a feder-
al judge in Texas said the rule went too far by
concluding that discrimination on the basis
of gender identity is a form of sex discrimi-
nation, which is forbidden by civil rights
laws.
Instead of appealing the judge’s injunc-
tion, the Trump administration has opted to
rewrite the rule, which applies to health care
providers and insurers receiving federal
funds.
Roger Severino, head of the department’s
Office for Civil Rights, said the rewrite will
address the “reasonableness, necessity and
efficacy” of the Obama-era requirement. He
refused to discuss specifics, as the revision
is under White House review before its offi-
cial release.
Groups representing transgender people
expect the Obama protections to be gutted
and are preparing to take the administration
to court.
“The proposed rollback does fit into a pat-
tern of transphobia and anti-LGBT senti-
ment in this administration,” said Omar
Gonzalez-Pagan, a lawyer with Lambda
Legal, a civil rights organization.
He ran through a checklist: President
Donald Trump’s call to bar military service
by transgender people; Attorney General Jeff
Sessions’ memo concluding that civil rights
laws don’t protect transgender people from
discrimination on the job; the override of
Obama-era guidance that allowed transgender
students to use school bathrooms that
matched their gender identities.
Social and religious conservatives are one
of the administration’s most steadfast con-
stituencies, and the White House has been
out front championing their causes, includ-
ing restrictions on abortion and legal pro-
tections for health care providers with moral
and religious qualms about particular proce-
dures.
Behind the latest health care dispute is a

medically recognized condition called “gen-
der dysphoria” — discomfort or distress
caused by a discrepancy between the gender
that a person identifies as and the gender at
birth. Consequences can include severe
depression. Treatment can range from sex-
reassignment surgery and hormones to peo-
ple changing their outward appearance by
adopting a different hair-
style or clothing.
Under the Obama-era
rule, a hospital could be
required to perform gen-
der-transition procedures
such as hysterectomies if
the facility provided that
kind of treatment for
other medical conditions.
Donald Trump The rule was meant to
carry out the anti-dis-
crimination section of the Affordable Care
Act, which bars sex discrimination in health
care but does not use the term “gender identi-
ty.”
In the Texas case, a Catholic hospital sys-
tem, several states and a Christian medical
association argued that the rule went
beyond the law as written and would coerce
providers to act against their medical judg-
ment and religious beliefs.
That rule “would have forced doctors to
perform gender transition procedures on
children, even if that would be against their
best medical judgment and they believed it
would be harmful to the child,” said Luke
Goodrich, a lawyer with the Becket Fund for
Religious Liberty, which is involved in the
case.
The American Academy of Pediatrics says
that for children who have yet to reach
puberty, gender transition does not involve
any medical interventions but instead focus-
es on social changes such as clothing and
calling the child by another name.
The Becket Fund responded that the Obama
administration did not limit the application
of its nondiscrimination rule to adults.
UCLA legal scholar Jocelyn Samuels
oversaw drafting of the anti-discrimination
rule while in the Obama administration and
says it reflected established legal precedent
that transgender people are protected under
federal sex discrimination laws. “The case
law on whether sex discrimination includes
gender identity has been pretty clear for
quite a while,” said Samuels.
The original rule did not override either
the medical judgment or religious beliefs of
providers, said Samuels, arguing those are
protected by other laws.

Fitted with ankle bracelet, Cosby VIDEO
will be prisoner inside own home
By Kristen de Groot
and Michael Sisak
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHILADELPHIA — Just days after his
conviction, Bill Cosby has already started
life as an inmate — though his surroundings
are far nicer than they likely will be in a few
months.
A judge says Cosby will be confined to the
same suburban Philadelphia mansion where
jurors concluded he drugged and molested a
Temple University women’s basketball
administrator, ordering him to be outfitted
with a GPS ankle bracelet to monitor com-
pliance. Until sentencing, Judge Steven
O’Neill ruled Friday, the 80-year-old come-
dian may leave his house only to meet with
his lawyers or go to the doctor, and he must
get permission first.
It was the latest sign that Cosby’s past —
a sordid double life that gave lie to his care-
fully cultivated image as America’s Dad —
had finally caught up with him.
Cosby was convicted Thursday of three
counts of aggravated indecent assault and
now faces the prospect of spending the rest
of his life behind bars. His team blasted the
retrial as a “public lynching” and began
looking ahead to an appeal.
Lawyers not connected with the case said
the defense might have a winning argument.
Prosecutors put five other women on the
stand to testify that they, too, were abused
by the former TV star, but the strategy that
helped them secure a conviction could also
serve as a template for his lawyers seeking
to overturn the jury’s verdict.
Christopher Adams, a defense attorney
whose clients have included former NBA
star Jayson Williams, said the judge’s deci-
sion to allow the “prior bad acts” testimony
could have tainted the jury.
U.S. reaffirms its ironclad commitment
to defend South Korea against neighbor
By Matthew Pennington
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump
and Defense Secretary Jim Mattis spoke on
Saturday with their South Korean counter-
parts after the historic meeting between lead-
ers of the two Koreas, and Trump said “things
are going very well” as he prepares for an
expected summit with the North’s Kim Jong
Un.
Mattis and Defense Minister Song Young-
moo said they were committed to “a diplo-
matic resolution that achieves complete, ver-
ifiable and irreversible denuclearization” of
the North, according to the Pentagon’s chief
spokeswoman, Dana W. White. Mattis also
reaffirmed “the ironclad U.S. commitment” to
defend its ally “using the full spectrum of U.S.
capabilities. ‘’
Trump tweeted Saturday that he had “a long
and very good talk” with President Moon Jae-
in. He also said he updated Japan’s prime min-
ister, Shinzo Abe, about “the ongoing nego-
tiations” for an anticipated summit with Kim,
tentatively scheduled for May or early June.
Moon and Kim have pledged to seek a for-
mal end to the Korean War, fought from 1950
to 1953, by year’s end and to rid the Korean
Peninsula of nuclear weapons. Trump has said
he’s looking forward to the meeting with Kim
and that it “should be quite something.”
“Things are going very well, time and loca-
tion of meeting with North Korea is being
set,” Trump tweeted. A statement from the
White House describing the call between
Trump and Moon also referred to the North’s
future being contingent upon “complete, ver-
ifiable, and irreversible denuclearization.”
Trump is claiming credit for the Korean
summit, but now faces a burden in helping
turn the Korean leaders’ bold but vague vision
for peace into reality after more than six
decades of hostility.
Trump must contend with suspicions about
his own suitability to conduct that kind of
war-and-peace negotiation and succeed where

his predecessors have failed, and whether Kim
really is willing to give up the nuclear
weapons his nation took
decades acquiring.
“It is still unclear
whether North Korea still
believes that it can have
its cake and eat it too,”
said Victor Cha, who until
January had been in the
running to become
Trump’s choice for
Kim Jong Un ambassador to South
Korea.
At a White House news conference with
German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Friday,
Trump basked in the afterglow of the meeting
between Kim and Moon, and said he has a
responsibility to try to achieve peace and
denuclearization.
“And if I can’t do it, it’ll be a very tough
time for a lot of countries, and a lot of people.
It’s certainly something that I hope I can do
for the world,” he said.
Moon and Kim have not specified what
steps would be taken to formally end the war
or eliminate nuclear weapons. Now the pres-
sure to deliver results, at least on the allies’
side, has shifted to Trump.
The president pushed back against critics
who say he’s being manipulated by Kim, who
has abruptly shifted to diplomacy after last
year’s full-scale push to become a nuclear
power that could threaten the U.S. mainland.
“I don’t think he’s ever had this enthusiasm
for somebody, for them wanting to make a
deal,” Trump said in the Oval Office. “We’re
not going to be played, OK. We’re going to
hopefully make a deal. The United States in
the past has been played like a fiddle.”
New Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who
as CIA director met Kim four weeks ago in
North Korea, told reporters in Brussels that
he got the impression that Kim was “serious”
about negotiating on denuclearization
because of the Trump-led economic pressure
campaign.

Soldiers loyal to Syria's President Bashar al-Assad forces are deployed in Damascus.
Syrian troops briefly take villages east of Euphrates
By Bassem Mroue
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEIRUT — Syrian government forces on Sunday briefly
captured four villages east of the Euphrates River in the east-
ern province of Deir el-Zour after rare clashes with U.S.-
backed Kurdish-led fighters, then lost the area in a counterof-
fensive by the Kurdish-led force.
The area close to the border with Iraq has been the site of
recent clashes between the two sides that had been focusing
on fighting the Islamic State extremist group. The IS had
declared its caliphate in parts of Syria and Iraq.
Crossings into the east bank of the Euphrates in eastern
Syria by government forces have been rare.
In a separate development, Syrian state television reported
a “new aggression,” with missiles targeting a number of mil-
itary outposts in northern Syria.
Syrian TV reported early Monday that the missiles targeted
outposts in the Hama and Aleppo countryside. It did not say
who fired the missiles or whether there were any casualties or
damage. The news comes less than two weeks after a similar
report of airstrikes on government military installations in
the central Homs region and the suburbs of Damascus. But the
military later said a false alarm had set off air defense systems.
WORLD
REUTERS
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights,
which monitors the war in Syria through activists on the
ground, reported loud explosions in the Hama countryside and
Aleppo province resulting from missiles targeting a base of
the 47th Brigade in Hama that houses Syrian government and
allied Iranian forces. It also reported missiles hitting posi-
tions near the Nairab air base and Aleppo airport. It said the
source of the missiles was not immediately known, and had no
information on casualties.
Earlier this month, seven Iranian military personnel were
killed in an airstrike on Syria’s T4 air base in the central Homs
province. Syria, Iran and Russia blamed Israel for that attack.
Israel, which has frequently targeted what it says are weapons
shipments to the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah in Syria,
did not confirm or deny it.
State news agency SANA said the villages briefly captured
by government forces Sunday were held by the U.S.-backed
Syrian Democratic Forces, adding that they are close to the
provincial capital, also called Deir el-Zour. The SDF said in a
statement later that it regained control of the whole area it ear-
lier lost.
Much of Deir el-Zour province was held by the Islamic State
group but over the past year Syrian government forces cap-
tured most areas west of the Euphrates.

UK interior minister
quits amidst growing
immigration scandal
By Jill Lawless
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — Britain’s interior minister resigned Sunday
amid a scandal over authorities’ mistreatment of long-term
U.K. residents wrongly caught up in a government drive to
reduce illegal immigration.
Prime Minister Theresa May’s office said late Sunday that
May had accepted the resignation of Home Secretary Amber
Rudd.
Rudd had been due to make a statement to
Parliament on Monday over the “Windrush
scandal,” which has dominated headlines
in Britain for days and has sparked intense
criticism of the Conservative govern-
ment’s tough immigration policies.
The furor has grown since the Guardian
newspaper reported that some people who
came to the U.K. from the Caribbean in the
Amber Rudd decades after World War II had recently
been refused medical care in Britain or
threatened with deportation because they could not produce
paperwork proving their right to reside in the country.
Those affected belong to the “Windrush generation,” named
for the ship Empire Windrush, which in 1948 brought hun-
dreds of Caribbean immigrants to Britain, which was seeking
nurses, railway workers and others to help it rebuild after the
devastation of World War II.
They and subsequent Caribbean migrants came from British
colonies or ex-colonies and had an automatic right to settle in
the U.K. But some have been ensnared by tough new rules
introduced since 2012 that were intended to make Britain a
“hostile environment” for illegal immigrants.
Legal migrants have been denied housing, jobs or medical
treatment because of requirements that landlords, employers
and doctors check people’s immigration status. Others have
been told by the government that they are in Britain illegally
and must leave.
“What has happened to the Windrush generation isn’t an
anomaly. It’s not due to an administrative error. It’s a conse-
quence of the hostile environment created by this
(Conservative) government,” London Mayor Sadiq Khan, a
member of the opposition Labour Party, said Sunday.
