WASHINGTON The federal gov-
ernments move to regulate e-ciga-
rettes is a leap into the unknown.
Most everyone agrees a ban on sell-
ing them to kids would be a step for-
ward. But health and public policy
experts cant say for certain whether
the electronic devices are a good thing
or a bad thing overall, whether they
help smokers kick the habit or are a
gateway to ordinary paper-and-tobacco
E-cigarettes get

Some say the Food and Drug

electronic cigarettes has been a long
time coming and that it isnt strin-
gent enough to adequately protect the
public while industry representatives
say theyre in support of certain
aspects but labeling them as a tobac-
co product is inherently awed.

Attendees at Thursday nights community meeting spoke in
support of preserving the old ice rink at Bridgepointe
Shopping Center in San Mateo.
Outpouring
of support
for Ice Center
San Mateo yet to decide what would
be a suitable substitute for the site
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Supporters of San Mateos former Ice Center gathered at a
community meeting Thursday night in vehement anger
because they claim that Bridgepointe Shopping Center
owners failed to maintain their promise to preserve recre-
ational use on the property.
Bridgepointes owner SPI Holdings submitted a pre-appli-
cation to the citys Planning Department last month
requesting an amendment to the sites master plan to allow
it to build over the rink and construct retail space in its
place.
San Mateo resident Dina Artzt said shes passionately
fought to keep the rink she took her son to for nearly 20
years before it closed last year. At least 500 people came to
the meeting in uniform support of preserving what SPI had
promised it would maintain when it purchased the property,
Artzt said.
Many lives have been negatively impacted as a result of

Prosecutors frustrated that a judge dis-
missed felony molestation charges against
an after-school aide reled the same counts
stemming from the Millbrae mans alleged
kiss of a 6-year-old female student on the
San Mateo campus.
Eric Michael Renz, 21, was originally
charged with two molestation counts and
possession of child pornography which was
allegedly discovered after his arrest. Judge
Marta Diaz two weeks ago found insufcient
evidence to hold Renz to answer on the two
sex crime charges but sent him toward trial

Ram attacks, injures
woman in California
PALO CEDRO A woman says a
ram her brother kept on his property
in Northern California will be eutha-
nized after it attacked and injured their
mother.
Audra Eneix tells the Record
Searchlight of Redding her mother,
65-year-old Lucretia Thompson, was
in critical condition at a hospital on
Wednesday, a day after the animal
charged and repeatedly struck her.
Thompson lives in a cottage on her
sons property in the Shasta County
community of Palo Cedro, where the
ram was kept.
Eneiz said she witnessed the attack,
and the ram hit her when she tried to
intervene.
A neighbor eventually pinned it to
the ground until paramedics arrived to
take Thompson away.
Thompson suffered injuries to her
head and back.
Maine man says in
lawsuit Petco rat made him sick
PORTLAND, Maine AMaine man
who says he developed a serious dis-
ease after getting bit by a rat he
bought at Petco has sued the pet sup-
ply retailer.
Dominic Profenno Jr. said in his
complaint led in U.S. District Court
in Portland on Wednesday that he was
bitten March 12 by a rat purchased at
Petcos South Portland store Feb. 22.
The Portland Press Herald reports
t hat the 51-year-old Profenno said the
disease known as rat bite fever
caused multiple spinal abscesses,
painful inflammation of his joints,
extreme debilitation and pain and suf-
fering. He says he spent 35 days in
the hospital and his medical bills
have surpassed $170,000.
The suit seeks unspecified mone-
tary damages.
A spokesman for San Diego-based
Petco said he could not comment on
pending litigation.
Mans body found in
Sonoma County landfill
PETALUMA Sonoma County
authorities say a body has been found
in a Petaluma landfill.
The dead person was discovered
Wednesday afternoon at the Sonoma
County Central Disposal Site.
The body was determined to be of a
39-year-old man.
The sheriffs office says a prelimi-
nary investigation has found no indi-
cation of foul play. An autopsy is
planned for Friday.
Employees believe the body came
in on a transfer truck from the
Healdsburg area.
Investigators say they will not
release the mans name until his fam-
ily is notified.
North Dakota schools
coyote logo draws complaint
WILLISTON, N.D. Wi l l i st on
High Schools new coyote-head logo
has drawn a complaint from far away
California.
The Williston Herald reports that
the logo of the growling coyote
already is in use at a community col-
lege in Ridgecrest, Calif.
As soon as that thing got jacked I
got notification from the web, Cerro
Coso Community College spokes-
woman Natalie Dorrell said.
Dorrell said her school was never
contacted for permission to use the
coyote-head logo, which is their
schools mascot. She said its unlike-
ly the California school would have
given permission anyway.
In the past when weve been
asked, weve always said no, Dorrell
said.
The schools lawyers are reviewing
the issue, she said.
Williston Superintendent Vi ol a
LaFontaine said the district received
permission to use the logo from
Cerro Cosos athletic director. And
she said the logos are different colors
and the shape of the angry-looking
animals teeth and eyes are not the
same.
Similar logos are being used by a
mens softball team in San Diego and
an amputee soccer team in Mexico,
the newspaper reported.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A 23-year-old South San Francisco man
is facing more than seven years in prison
for the drunken crash that killed his cousin
and injured another after spending an after-
noon drinking tequila shots at his fathers
home.
Dennis Rogelio Salguero pleaded no con-
test Thursday to felony vehicular
manslaughter while driving under the inu-
ence and felony DUI causing injury. In
return, he will be sentenced to no more than
seven years and eight
months at a June 12 hear-
i ng.
Prosecutors say
Salguero spent the after-
noon of Dec. 18, 2013,
drinking tequila at his
fathers Daly City home
before leaving with his
two cousins against the
advice of his father and
uncle. Just before 5 p.m.,
his vehicle swerved across Interstate 280
into the center divider near the North
Westlake Avenue off-ramp. One cousin in
the rear was ejected and died while a cousin
in the front passenger seat was injured.
Salgueros blood alcohol level was .14
and .13 two hours after his arrest, according
to the District Attorneys Ofce.
The negotiated settlement is within the
reasonable sentencing range for the facts of
the case, District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe
said.
Salguero remains in custody on $250,000
bail.

STATE
By Don Thompson
SACRAMENTO A California effort to
lead a national debate over the growing
wage gap between CEOs and average work-
ers took its rst step in the state Legislature
on Thursday with support from Democratic
lawmakers, organized labor and former U.S.
Labor Secretary Robert Reich.
Reich, who served in the Clinton admin-
istration during the 1990s, said the bill
would reward responsible companies with
lower tax rates and help the middle class
while countering a trend that he said endan-
gers the underpinnings of the American
economy.
SB1372 would punish companies that
pay CEOs more than 100 times the median
wage of their workers by imposing a higher
corporate tax rate. Companies with less of a
wage gap would be rewarded with a lower
rate.
The issue of widening inequality of
income and wealth and opportunity and
political power is one that the United States
is now becoming aware of because things
are getting so out of kilter, Reich told the
Senate Governance and Finance Committee.
The California Chamber of Commerce
labeled the proposal as a job killer.
Chamber lobbyist Jennifer Barrera told the
committee the bill would discourage corpo-
rate investment in California.
It would aggravate Californias national
reputation as being hostile to business
while raising what already are some of the
nations highest corporate taxes, said Gina
Rodriquez, the California Taxpayers
Associations vice president for state tax
policy.
The bills authors acknowledged that its
prospects are uncertain because it requires a
two-thirds supermajority to pass the
Legislature and is unlikely to attract
Republican votes.
But Democratic Sens. Mark DeSaulnier, of
Concord, and Loni Hancock, of Berkeley,
said it is important for California to lead a
national conversation about narrowing the
wealth disparity. DeSaulnier said it is the
rst such bill in any state.
According to the AFL-CIO, chief execu-
tives received an average compensation of
43 times the median U.S. workers pay in
1983. Today, that gure is 278 times a typ-
ical wage.
CEOs of companies in Standard & Poors
500 index were paid an average of 354 times
more than the median employee in 2012,
according to the union.
How do you run an economy where the
middle class and the poor dont have enough
money to buy everything the economy is
capable of producing? Thats one of the
biggest reasons why this (economic) recov-
ery has been so anemic, Reich said.
The tax rate, currently 8.84 percent of net
income for all corporations, would scale up
or down from 7 percent to 13 percent under
the bill, with the highest rate reserved for
companies whose CEOs are paid more than
400 times the median wage.
The bill cleared its rst committee on a
party-line 5-2 vote and next goes before the
Appropriations Committee.
Top corporate salaries are often indeed
out of whack, said Sen. Steve Knight, R-
Palmdale, who voted against the bill. But
its not the role of government to correct
the problem, said Knight, who argued it is
counterproductive to discourage entrepre-
neurs who build their companies.
They are the innovation behind the busi-
ness, Knight said, and without them we
dont have anything.

Complaint claims
violations in governors race
SACRAMENTO Asupporter of a rival
Republican gubernatorial candidate led a
complaint Thursday with
Californias elections
watchdog agency, claim-
ing that state
Assemblyman Tim
Donnelly has failed to
report the gift of a bor-
rowed motor home as a
campaign expense.
The motor home,
which Donnelly calls
the Liberty Express, is frequently featured
in his social media posts and emails as he
campaigns for governor throughout
California.
The complaint filed by Tom Scott of
Folsom, a supporter of GOP candidate Neel
Kashkari, says the total cost to rent the RV
Donnelly used for a 13-day bus tour in mid-
February would range from $4,875 to
$28,000. But no costs or gifts were reported
in Donnellys campaign nance ling cov-
ering the period ending March 17.
Donnellys campaign also had the motor
home at the California Republican Party
convention from March 14-16, and he has
been touring the state in it this month.
The San Bernardino County lawmaker, a
Republican, reported using a borrowed
motor home in 2013.
Campaign agency levels
fines against GOP brothers
SACRAMENTO Californias political
watchdog agency issued fines totaling
$40,000 to two brothers
and their campaign com-
mittees Thursday for
improperly transferring
money between their
campaigns as both ran for
state Assembly in 2008,
a case that the agency
called one of the most
signicant it has pursued.
The California Fair
Political Practices
Commission unanimous-
ly accepted an adminis-
trative law judges recom-
mendation that Sen. Tom
Berryhill, of Twain Harte,
and his brother, former
Assemblyman Bill
Berryhill, of Ceres, be
fined for improperly
transferring $40,000
between their campaigns through two coun-
ty Republican central committees.
Commissioners leveled the nes follow-
ing a closed session after hearing arguments
last week. An attorney for the brothers said
they may ght the decision in court.

PORTLAND, Ore. Oregon,
once expected to be a national
leader in the federal health care
overhaul, on Thursday moved to
become the rst state to dump its
troubled online health exchange
and use the federal marketplace
instead.
A top Cover Oregon official,
Alex Pettit, said xing the exist-
ing system would be too costly at
an estimated $78 million, would
take too long to implement, and
would be too risky. The states
site still isnt fully functional
seven months after a failed
launch.
Pettit said switching to the fed-
eral system would cost $4 million
to $6 million.
An advisory committee made
the recommendation to drop the
glitch-lled site for private poli-
cies, but suggested that Oregon
continue using its current technol-
ogy for Medicaid enrollments.
The Cover Oregon board will
vote on the recommendation
Friday.
Oregons exchange is seen as
the worst of the more than a dozen
states that developed their own
online health insurance market-
places. The state is the only one
where the general public still
cant use the website to sign up for
coverage in one sitting despite
an early start building the site and
millions of dollars from the feder-
al government.
Several other states experienced
major problems with their
exchanges, but so far only one
has chosen to replace its site.
Maryland recently decided to
spend $40 million to $50 million
to adopt the technology used on
Connecticuts successful
exchange.
Oregon has received a total of
$305 million in federal grants to
fund its operations from 2011
through the end of this year. As of
March, the state has spent nearly
$248 million of that money,
Cover Oregon interim executive
director Clyde Hamstreet said.

LOS ANGELES The nations
top telecoms regulator is propos-
ing to allow a pay-for-priority fast
lane on the Internet for movies,
music and other services to get to
peoples homes.
The proposed rules come after a
federal appeals court struck down
previous net neutrality rules
designed to prevent Internet access
providers such as Comcast from
discriminating against certain traf-
c owing to their customers.
Under the proposal, an access
provider could demand that high-
trafc services such as Netix pay
for preferential treatment. The pro-
posal would include safeguards to
make sure the arrangements dont
harm consumers or stie competi-
tion and free speech.
Because of that, FCC ofcials
insist its not a departure from past
policy.
U.S. proposes pay-for-priority Internet standards
WASHINGTON Senate
Minority Leader Mitch McConnell
and 21 other Republican senators
accused President Barack Obama
on Thursday of displaying an
astonishing disregard for the
Constitution, the rule of law and
the rights of American citizens
by considering administrative
changes to the nations deporta-
tions policy.
In a letter to the president, the
senators said that changes under
consideration would amount to
near complete abandonment of
basic immigration enforcement.
T h e
A s s o c i a t e d
Press reported
this week that
H o m e l a n d
S e c u r i t y
Secretary Jeh
Johnson, who
is conducting a
review ordered
by Obama on
how to make
the administrations policy on
deportations more humane, is
weighing limiting removals of
immigrants living in the U.S.
illegally who dont have serious
criminal records. Other changes
also are possible.
With comprehensive immigra-
tion legislation stalled in the
GOP-led House 10 months after
Senate passage, Obama is under
intense pressure from immigrant
advocates to act on his own to curb
deportations and allow some of
the 11.5 million immigrants in
the country illegally to stay here.
Thursdays letter, circulated by the
Senate Judiciary Committees top
Republican, Sen. Charles
Grassley, R-Iowa, underscores the
political risk in an election year as
Republicans seize on the review as
the latest example of presidential
overreach.

NEW YORK Companies are finally
starting to spend some of the cash theyve
been sitting on, and that could mean a
stronger economy and more jobs are on the
way.
Industrial companies such as General
Electric, Honeywell and Caterpillar have
been posting strong financial results in
recent weeks and telling investors that
orders are strong. That means other large
companies are investing in expensive
equipment they need to grow their business,
economists say.
Were on the brink of that inection
point where the economy can really take
off, says Diane Jaffee, a portfolio manager
and managing director at the Trust Company
of the West. Whats different now is that
the industrial companies are saying there is
real demand.
In the years since the Great Recession,
big manufacturers have cut costs, slimmed
down their operations, and accumulated
cash. Theyve had to because their cus-
tomers other big businesses were too
worried about some part of the global econ-
omy to hire people or buy equipment that
takes years to pay off.
Political wrangling in the U.S. shut down
the government and led the country to near-
ly default on its debt more than once
even as the U.S. economy was struggling to
improve. At the same time, the enormous
European economy was mired in a debt crisis
and a subsequent recession.
Now, nally, the economies of the U.S.
and Europe are showing steady progress,
and while Chinese growth appears to be
slowing, it remains strong.
Vermont ups the ante
on genetically modified foods
MONTPELIER, Vt. Vermont has raised
the stakes in the debate over genetically
modied foods by becoming the rst state to
pass a bill requiring that they be labeled as
such in the grocery aisle, making the move
despite the opposition of the powerful U.S.
food industry.
Americans overwhelmingly favor such
requirements for foods containing geneti-
cally modied organisms, but the industry
fears a patchwork of state policies. The
Vermont bill says genetically modified
foods potentially pose risks to health,
safety, agriculture, and the environment
and includes $1.5 million for implementa-
tion and defense against lawsuits expected
from the food and biotech industries.
The national Grocery Manufacturers
Association, the food industrys main trade
group, said its evaluating how to respond.
Options could include a legal challenge,
labeling only foods that are sold in Vermont
or making a wholesale change nationwide
to avoid multiple labeling systems.
Company stopped from
accepting abortion waste
PORTLAND, Ore. County commission-
ers gave nal approval Thursday to an order
to stop an incinerator in Oregon from
receiving medical waste until procedures are
in place to ensure no fetal tissue is burned to
generate power.
While taking the action, Marion County
commissioners Sam Brentano and Janet
Carlson said they were horried to learn that
the Marion County Resource Recovery
Facility in rural Brooks might be burning
medical waste that includes fetal tissue to
generate electricity. Both strongly oppose
abortions.
Were going to get the bottom of it,
Carlson said. I want to know who knew,
when they knew, how long they had known
this was going on.
Brentano, however, noted that the county
ordinance that sets the parameters for what
can be accepted at the waste-to-energy plant
allows for all human tissue.

Ukraine moves against
insurgents in the east
SLOVYANSK, Ukraine Russia
announced new military exercises
Thursday involving ground and air forces
near its border with Ukraine, swiftly
responding to a Ukrainian operation to
drive pro-Russia insurgents out of occu-
pied buildings in the countrys tumultuous
east.
The Ukrainian move, which killed at
least two people, brought new threats
from Russian President Vladimir Putin,
who denounced it as a punitive opera-
tion.
If the Kiev government is using the
army against its own people, this is clear-
ly a grave crime, Putin said.
Putins statement and the announcement
of new military maneuvers sharpened anx-
iety over the prospect of a Russian incur-
sion into Ukraine. Russias foreign minis-
ter warned a day earlier that any attack on
Russian citizens or interests in eastern
Ukraine would bring a strong response.
Secretary of State John Kerry quickly
denounced the Russian actions, and in
unusually blunt language warned that
unless Moscow took immediate steps to
de-escalate the situation, Washi ngt on
would have no choice but to impose addi-
tional sanctions.

worker, was wounded in the attack at Cure

U.S.-based Christian charity, and the gun-
man also was wounded, officials said.

JERUSALEM Israel broke off Mideast
peace talks and brought the U.S.-brokered
process to the brink of collapse Thursday,
protesting a reconciliation agreement
between the Western-backed Palestinian
Authority and the militant group Hamas, the
Jewish states sworn enemy.
Israels Security Cabinet made the deci-
sion during a marathon emergency meeting
convened to discuss the new Palestinian
deal. The rival Palestinian factions Hamas
and Fatah announced the reconciliation plan
Wednesday, meant to end a seven-year rift.
Israel objects to any participation in
Palestinian politics by Hamas, which has
killed hundreds of Israelis in suicide bomb-
ings and other attacks over the past two
decades.
In a statement issued by Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahus ofce, the govern-
ment said it would not hold negotiations
with a government backed by Hamas.
Instead of choosing peace, Abu Mazen
formed an alliance with a murderous terrorist
organization that calls for the destruction of
Israel, the statement said, referring to a
name Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas
is also known by.
The statement said Israel also would
respond to Abbas recent decision to join 15
international conventions with a series of
steps, language that typically refers to
financial sanctions against the
Palestinians.
Even with the tough stance, Netanyahu
left the door open to salvaging negotia-
tions, which are set to expire next Tuesday.
He still has the opportunity to reverse
course, to go to the right direction, to aban-
don this pact with Hamas, Netanyahu told
U.S. broadcaster NBC. I hope he does it.
Because if we encounter a Palestinian leader-
ship and a Palestinian government that is
ready to pursue genuine peace negotiations,
were going to be there.
Israel transfers about $100 million in tax
and customs money to the Palestinians each
month. It has withheld these funds in the
past as a punitive measure, money needed to
keep Abbas self-rule government aoat.
Abbas won assurances in recent Arab
League meetings that Arab countries would
pay $100 million to the Palestinian
Authority if Israel freezes the transfers.
However, some of the Arab donor countries
have in the past not met their aid commit-
ments.
Saeb Erekat, the chief Palestinian peace
negotiator, said Palestinian reconciliation
is an internal matter.
Israel had no right to interfere in this
issue, he said. He condemned any possible
Israeli sanctions as piracy, saying the tax
revenues are Palestinian money.

Reporters notebook
May 2, a few days after being severely beat-
en outside the Lariat Tavern in Belmont on
April 29, 2013.
While this is extremely serious and sad
for everybody involved, Mr. Kaufman feels
very, very remorseful for his actions and it
was never his intention to kill him,
defense attorney Jeff Jackson said.
Kaufman, 24, and Hanepen were drinking
separately at the bar and, after it closed at
2:15 a.m., got into an argument outside
although its unclear what exactly sparked
the exchange, Jackson said.
The men and their respective companions
were all drinking and Hanepen threw the rst
punch, according to one witness. Kaufman
punched Hanepen in the face, pushing him
to the ground and repeatedly kicking him in
the head and torso until the man lost con-
sciousness. Hanepen suffered broken verte-
brae, fractures to his orbital bones, broken
teeth and brain bleeding.
Afterward, Hanepens female friend depart-
ed the scene as did Kaufman and his friend,
Jackson said.
What jumped out at me is everybody
leaves the scene and nobody reports any-
thing, Jackson said. It wasnt a lack of
remorse but a lack of comprehension of how
badly he was hurt.
Police found Hanepen lying in the street
and he remained hospitalized in critical con-
dition until his death.
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said the
settlement was a compromise in light of
some serious evidentiary issues on both
sides, in large part because everybody
involved was heavily intoxicated.
It is a reasonable middle ground because
both sides had issues and arguments to be
made, he said.
Kaufman will be formally sentenced May
23 and remains in custody without bail.

PLEA
for the pornography.
On Thursday, prosecutors led anew the
molestation counts which District Attorney
Steve Wagstaffe said is legally allowable on
cases that are not dismissed entirely when the
evidence supports it.
I think the evidence clearly shows that
this was not simply a friendly act. When you
put together the facts of the case, that hes in
possession of child porn and hes kissing a
child, one cant call it simply affection,
Wagstaffe said.
Renz was an after-school child care aide at
Horrall Elementary School in San Mateo. On
Oct. 18, prosecutors said a school custodian
looking out a classroom window at the
Childrens Annex in San Mateo saw Renz sit-
ting on a bench with his arm around the girls
shoulder with his hand on her hip. Renz
kissed the student twice, according to the cus-
todian who reported the alleged incident to
school administrators. He was immediately
removed and police contacted.
Apolice search of Renzs laptop computer
reportedly turned up downloaded child
pornography.
Defense attorney Chuck Smith could not be
reached for comment on the reling but has
previously told the Daily Journal his client
did touch and kiss the child, who was very
affectionate with him, but not in a sexual way.
On Thursday, after the charges were added
back, Renz pleaded not guilty and was sched-
uled for jury trial Aug. 18.
He remains free from custody on $100,000
bail.

OPINION 9
Just the facts
Editor,
Alot can be learned from some of
the letters to the editor. I just wish
the writers would stick to the facts,
veried by an independent source. Mr.
Aadahl is very opinionated and some-
times he hits the nail on the head, a
few times I agreed with him, but it
would go a long way to mutual under-
standing if he did not let the partisans
supply him with skewered facts.
In one of his letters he writes: the
ACAdiscrepancies ... were result of
the compromise President Obama had
to make to get enough Republicans
on board. Last time I checked, he did
not need any Republicans to vote for
ACA, it passed (the nal version, just
one Republican voted for the earlier
version) without a single one of them
voting for the law.
Then, I quote: national debt main-
ly piled up by his predecessor?
Really? Its not difcult to verify that
at the end of scal year 2000 the
national debt in billions was $5,674,
at the end of 2008 it reached
$10,025, at the end of 2013 it was
$16,738. Now it is $17,548. Easy
math. One more quote: Does Mr.
Cioni and his ilk still prefer more
Republican wars? Well, let me count
the signicant wars started under
Democratic presidents: World War I,
World War II, the Korean War and the
Vietnam War.

Land swap
Editor,
Matt Kowitt wrote an op-ed in the
April 24 edition of the Daily Journal
stating the following about the land
swap proposal between the city of
San Carlos and the San Carlos
School District: The San Carlos
City Council met on Tuesday, April
22 to discuss the land swap propos-
al. Much work remains to be done,
and no firm guidance was given by
the council about how a deal might
be structured. However, all five
members of the City Council con-
curred that an important next step
should be to put the question direct-
ly to the voters of San Carlos.
As written by Mr. Kowitt, the
question to be put to the voters is
unclear. So to be clear, the question
to be put to the voters is not about
swapping land but about changing
the designation of a parcel from
open space/parkland to something
else.
I cannot speak for the rest of the
council and why they wish to put
this question to the voters. I can,
however, speak for myself. The des-
ignation of the parcel as park was
made 35 years ago. It was the result
of a housing development being
proposed on Club and Crestview
drives. There was vigorous debate
and some of the land was set aside
for a park as mitigation. That was
then; this is now. The question is
simply, Do the citizens of San
Carlos still want to keep this land as
open space or park?
By the way, if the council was
determined to have a school on the
site, we could sell or trade with the
district. With the land in their pos-
session, they could build a school
regardless of our zoning. Schools
are sanctioned and governed by the
state; the citys zoning and building
codes do not apply to them.
However, if we went that route as a
council, while it would be legal, it
would not be ethical.

Letters to the editor
Orange County Register
W
e are well aware that
California government
seems always to be look-
ing to its long-suffering taxpayers
for more revenue, but the following
strikes us as beyond the pale even
for California. The state imposes
numerous taxes and fees, and assess-
es some property values, but, occa-
sionally, a court will rule these
levies illegal. However, recovering
the money the state illegally took
from you is another matter.
As Board of Equalization Member
George Runner explained in a
FlashReport column last week, it
can be difficult, if not impossible,
to get back money paid to the state
in illegal taxes. And even when tax-
payers are successful, they must
hack through a jungle of costly and
time-consuming red tape.
Currently, taxpayers are only eli-
gible to receive refunds if they have
exhausted all of their administrative
appeals remedies, even if the tax
they paid is later declared illegal or
unconstitutional, Runner
explained.
The time period to file a refund
claim is different for each tax and fee
program, ranging anywhere from 30
days to several years, he said.
Thats right; your state government
will keep any and all money it ille-
gally took from you, unless you
have already jumped through several
confusing administrative hoops
even hoops that you were never
aware of.
To remedy this preposterous
process, identical bills have been
introduced by Assemblyman Donald
Wagner, R-Irvine (Assembly Bill
2510), and state Sen. Steve Knight,
R-Palmdale (Senate Bill 1327). The
legislation would require the govern-
ment to automatically refund any
taxes, fees, assessments or sur-
charges, with interest, deemed ille-
gal by a final court decision. It addi-
tionally gives taxpayers up until
one year following a court decision
to file a refund claim with the
Franchise Tax Board or Board of
Equalization.
This strikes us as an uncontrover-
sial and necessary reform, and we
hope the Legislature will speedily
adopt it accordingly. If someone
takes your stuff illegally and is
caught with it, you should be able to
get your stuff back without jumping
through bureaucratic hoops. The
same should apply to government.
California clings to illegal taxes
Powder keg
T
he idea was something worth raising a glass.
Like a gift from the gin-soaked gods of inven-
tion who understand that humans are never
happy unless were making things better, bigger,
stronger or just different, behold Palcohol.
Thats right, Palcohol. Powdered alcohol. The name
says it all. Take freeze-dried alcohol, add liquid and
party on. Think of
it like Tang for
adults.
The goodie comes
in several varia-
tions: plain vodka
or rum or cocktail
versions including
cosmopolitan,
mojito, margarita
and lemon drop.
It might not quite
be the same as turn-
ing water into wine
but lets not be
picky when it come
to possibly genius
ideas.
The first possibility that undoubtedly springs to
mind is sneaking the powder packets into teetotalling
events no more boring dry weddings! and any
place where single drink prices are higher than the
cost of a pony keg. Unless the security forces were
trained by the ultra-touchy Transportation Security
Administration or venues take a page from the plastic-
bag-only rules of the National Football League,
chances are pretty good a person can strap a package
or two or 10 to ones leg under some baggy pants.
Consider the bar open.
Of course, considering the price tag on basic water
at most entertainment events, imbibers would be bet-
ter off buying liquor there and saving the powered stuff
for other needs. Maybe, say, Jell-O shots. Think of
the super potency of powder on powder on water. Same
goes for Crystal Light and all those other water fla-
voring powders and potions clogging the market.
Then take it one step further. Reduce the water, make
a syrup and dish up snow cones. Pour it into cake mix.
Why should pudding have all the fun? Maybe even
bolster a brew, sort of like any manner of bomb shot.
Or, sell it to the military as an addition to its tasty
Meals Ready-to-Eat. Freeze-dried beef in one packet.
Freeze-dried cocktail in the other. Maybe an e-ciga-
rette after just to round out the experience.
Alas, though. Just when the mind ran amok and the
liver pulled on its big boy pants, the Food and Drug
Administration proved a buzz kill. The FDA announced
that the previously publicized label approval of this
wonder powder was in error. Wait, what?
The company said on its website there was discrep-
ancy on how much powder is in the bags and that new
labels will be submitted. Whew. Maybe we wont have
to drown our sorrows the old-fashioned way after all.
Then again, perhaps this intermission is a good
chance to cleanse the mental palate and really think
about if powdered alcohol is the best idea after all.
Mainly, the worry is that people will do what they
always do after they make something better, bigger,
stronger or different they try to intensify and speed
up the effect. For this product, these mental giants
will turn to snorting the powder like its some sort of
other recreational powder. Shooting milk out ones
nose never feels great; can powdered vodka or rum be
much better?
And pulling out powder rather than a bottle takes a
little of the pageantry out of the flirty bar scene. Can
I buy you a package doesnt have quite the same ring.
Same goes for, Whats in your package? although
that may lead to an entirely different conversation.
What happens when a parent accidentally grabs the

Freeze-dried alcohol might one day be somebodys

can decide whether to give it a shot.

Big movers
By Ken Sweet
NEW YORK The stock market
closed mostly higher Thursday, helped
by positive earnings out of several
large U.S. companies including Apple
and construction equipment maker
Caterpillar.
The markets gains were modest,
however, as investors turned their
eyes back to Russia and Ukraine,
where geopolitical tensions were
heating up once again. Some earnings
reports, such as 3M and Facebook,
also failed to impress investors.
It was the seventh time in the last
eight days that the S&P 500 has
closed higher. Despite the recent
upward momentum, traders remain
nervous.
Everyone is a little apprehensive
as we move higher, waiting for the
next shoe to drop thats going to
make the market head lower, said
Jonathan Corpina, a oor trader at the
New York Stock Exchange with
Meridian Equity Partners. The market
isnt in a healthy mentality at the
moment.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
rose 3.22 points, or 0.2 percent, to
1,878.61 and the Nasdaq composite
rose 21.37 points, or 0.5 percent, to
4,148.34.
The Dow Jones industrial average
closed at 16,501.65, unchanged on
the day. The last time the Dow closed
at was Dec. 24, 2001.
Apple was among the biggest gain-
ers in the S&P500 and helped push the
Nasdaq composite up more than the
rest of the broader market.
Apple rose $43.02, or 8 percent, to
$567.77 after the California-based
company reported a prot of $11.62 a
share, beating forecasts. Apple also
announced it would increase its share
buyback program from $60 billion to
$90 billion, raise its quarterly divi-
dend, and split its stock seven-for-one.
Dow member Caterpillar rose
$1.90, or 2 percent, to $105.28. The
construction equipment manufacturer
said its quarterly earnings rose 5 per-
cent from a year ago. Caterpillar also
raised is 2014 profit forecast. The
company earned an adjusted prot of
$1.61 a share, well ahead of the $1.21
per share expected by analysts.
Another Dow member, 3M, wasnt
as fortunate in the first quarter as
Caterpillar was.
The maker of industrial coatings and
Post-it notes fell $1.34, or 1 percent,
to $136.65 after the companys
results missed analysts expectations.
The Minnesota-based conglomerate
earned $1.79 a share, a penny shy of
forecasts. Revenue also came in short
of expectations.
Despite the mostly positive news
from U.S. companies, overseas wor-
ries put a damper on the market.
Russian officials said they would
hold new military exercises along the
Ukrainian border, hours after
Ukrainian troops killed at least two
pro-Russia insurgents in eastern
Ukraine. Russian President Vladimir
Putin described the Ukrainian attack
as a punitive operation and threat-
ened Kiev with unspecified conse-
quences. The Russia-Ukraine conict
has been relatively quiet for the last
couple of weeks, so the recent increase
in tensions has made some investors
nervous.
Tom di Galoma, who runs fixed-
income trading for ED&F Man
Capital, said the Ukraine-Russia con-
ict was sending some investors into
safer assets, such as U.S. Treasurys
and gold.
The yield on 10-year U.S. Treasury
note fell 2.68 percent as bond prices
rose. Gold rose $6, or 0.5 percent, to
$1.290.60 an ounce.
One day we think theres a resolu-
tion, and the next the situation out of
Ukraine and Russia turns a little
alarming, Corpina said.
Investors were also working
through another batch of economic
reports. Orders to U.S. factories for
long-lasting manufactured goods rose
2.6 percent, adding to the 2.1 percent
rise in February.
Stocks mostly higher on earnings; Apple up
By Alex Veiga
Visa Inc.s prot jumped 26 percent in its
scal second quarter from a year earlier as the
company beneted from strong growth in
payments volume, service revenue and a one-
time tax gain.
The latest earnings exceeded Wall Street
estimates, but revenue fell slightly short.
Management said Thursday that revenue
growth was hurt during the January-March
quarter by a stronger U.S. dollar and one-time
items.
The company projects that the same fac-
tors will have a slightly more pronounced
impact on revenue growth in the third quarter,
but added that it expects revenue growth will
rebound in the companys scal fourth quar-
ter.
Shares of Visa fell almost 4 percent in after-
hours trading.
Foster City-based Visa is the worlds largest
processor of debit and credit card payments.
Amazon launches grocery
service for Prime members
NEW YORK Amazon is taking aim at
grocery stores and discounters like Wal-
Mart with a grocery service that lets its
Prime loyalty club members ll up to a 45-
pound box with groceries and get it shipped
for a at rate of $5.99.
The mega online retailer says the service,
called Prime Pantry, will offer Prime users an
expanded selection of items that they usual-
ly pick up in grocery stores, in addition to
larger in-bulk groceries more commonly
ordered online, at competitive prices. Some
items now available are single boxes of
Cheerios, a six-pack of Bounty paper tow-
els and Coca-Cola fridge packs.
Teslas Musk paid $70,000 in 2013
DETROIT Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk
was paid just under $70,000 in 2013. But he
could be in line for much, much more.
According to a Tesla filing with regula-
tors Thursday, Musk made a base salary of
$33,280 in 2013. That was the minimum
he was required to make under California
law.
He got an additional $36,709 in company
bonuses.
Tesla says Musk, the billionaire founder
of PayPal and rocket-building company
SpaceEx, only accepts $1 and returns the
rest to the company.

Serra point guard Danny Mahoney spent
third and fourth grades in Arizona and one of
the rst things he did was play basketball in
his new driveway.
We were moving all the furniture off the
truck and it was like 110 degrees out. I saw
(San Antonio Spurs guard) Manu Ginobili
(who is left-handed) and I said I have to
make 25 left-handed layups in a row, said
the naturally right-handed Mahoney. I hit
23 in a row and then 24 in a row. I was out
there for about seven hours. Thats when
my dad and grandfather knew.
What they knew was Mahoney had a
passion for the game of basketball.
Mahoney has fed that passion since then
and it led him to sign with San Jose State
University to continue his basketball
career next season.
Mahoney will attend SJSU as a recruited
walk-on, with a chance to earn a scholar-
ship down the road. He knows its complete-
ly up to him to get it.
It depends on how hard I work,
Mahoney said.
Mahoney said Gonzaga University in
Washington state and Boise State
University in Idaho were also interested but,
after he took a trip to San Jose State, he
decided the Spartans were for him.
I could see my relationship with the
(SJSU) coaches being a really good one,
Mahoney said. Also, all the [players] at
San Jose State were extremely accepting.

Michael Wacha, Carlos Martinez and Seth
Maness, all having debuted in 2013, are just
three of the many reballing right-handers
to emerge from the st. Louis Cardinals farm
system in recent years.
Sam Tuivailala hopes to qualify for that
list in the years to come.
The former Aragon star was drafted by the
Cardinals as a third-round
selection in 2010. Since
that time, he has wit-
nessed the machine that
is the St. Louis farm sys-
tem in terms of producing
impressive major league
pitching talent.
Its pretty shocking
when we keep seeing
guys coming up and
throwing hard, Tuivailala said. Their
whole bullpen is just ame throwers.
Insofar as amethrowers go, Tuivailala
certainly qualies. Just ask Half Moon Bay
hitters of yesteryear. As a two-way player
with the Dons, Tuivailala consistently fea-
tured 90-plus mph heat and once struck out
17 Half Moon Bay batters in a regulation,
seven-inning game.
Now with two pro seasons as a pitcher
under his belt Tuivailala spent his rst
two seasons with the Rookie-Class Cards as
an inelder before converting to the mound
the right-hander consistently sits in the
mid-90s, and said he even touched 100 mph
last season.
Currently with Cardinals High-A afliate

er win for the minor-league Cards. With two

OAKLAND Blake Griffin scored 32
points and grabbed eight rebounds, DeAndre
Jordan had 14 points and 22 rebounds and
the Los Angeles Clippers outlasted the
Golden State Warriors 98-96 on Thursday
night to take a 2-1 lead in their rst-round
series.
The frontcourt tandem bullied and bruised
the Warriors inside to power the Clippers
ahead by 18 points in the third quarter. And
they did just enough late to silence a rock-
ing, gold-shirt wearing sellout crowd of
19,596 to regain home-court advantage.
Klay Thompson scored 26 points, and
Stephen Curry had 16 points and 15 assists
to rally the Warriors back. But Curry forced a
contested, step-back 3-pointer over Chris
Paul in the final seconds to seal the
Clippers victory.
Game 4 of the best-of-seven series is
Sunday in Oakland.
The Clippers held the Warriors to 6-of-31
shooting from 3-point range and 41.6 per-
cent shooting overall. Los Angeles also
forced 17 turnovers.
Golden States streaky backcourt duo still
gave the Clippers quite a scare in the clos-
ing moments.
Curry made his first 3-pointer, and
Thompson made another from long range
before hitting a turnaround jumper to bring
the Warriors within 87-86 with 4:24 to play.
Paul capped a quick 7-0 spurt for the
Clippers with a deep 3-pointer. He pounded
his chest and skipped down court after
Warriors coach Mark Jackson called time-
out.
Thompson hit a jumper and Curry con-
nected from beyond the arc to trim Los
Angeles lead to 96-93 with 49 seconds left.

Los Angeles Kings right wing Justin Williams scores past Antti Niemi during the second period of Game 4 of their rst-round playoff series.
By Greg Beacham
LOS ANGELES Justin Williams and
Marian Gaborik scored two goals apiece,
and the Los Angeles Kings emphatically
avoided rst-round playoff elimination with
a 6-3 victory over the San Jose Sharks in
Game 4 on Thursday night.
Captain Dustin Brown had a goal and an
assist, and Tyler Toffoli scored on his 22nd
birthday during a three-goal second period
as the Kings dodged a series sweep with a
one-sided win that could plant a seed of
doubt in their dominant California rivals
minds.
Game 5 is Saturday in San Jose.
Jonathan Quick made 36 saves for Los
Angeles, which chased Sharks goalie Antti
Niemi on Gaboriks beautiful goal early in
the third period.
James Sheppard, Matt Nieto and Joe
Pavelski scored for the Sharks, who could-
nt nish off the second playoff sweep in
franchise history.
The Kings were outscored 13-5 in the rst
two games at the Shark Tank before losing
Game 3 in overtime, but the back-to-back
Western Conference nalists nally pro-
duced a strong two-way performance when
they faced an early playoff exit.
After three scoreless games, Brown had a
key early assist and an empty-net goal for
Los Angeles, which got points from 12

Menlo-Atherton boys tennis
had to grind out its nal regular-
season match of the season for a 5-
2 win over Woodside.
The nal score was M-As worst
performance of the Peninsula
Athletic League Bay Division sea-
son, but with good reason. Having
wrapped up a sixth consecutive
league title Wednesday against San
Mateo, Bears head coach Tom
Sorenson was content to rest a
good portion of his starters,
including his No. 1 singles player
Scott Morris.
In shuffling in many reserve
players, M-A showcased what has
been its biggest strength this sea-
son depth.
This is the best team I think
that weve ever had, Sorenson
said. Were good and were deep.
Thats saying something, with
Sorenson in his 12th year at the
M-A helm. The teams 17-4 over-
all record speaks for itself. Only
two of the Bears loses a 6-1
loss to Saratoga and a 7-0 sweep at
the hands of Menlo proved real-
ity checks. The Bears other two
losses were 4-3 barn burners
against Los Altos and Monte
Vista, respectively. And those
were both in early-season tourna-
ment play when M-A was still
missing several key players who
were nishing basketball season.
I think even against Menlo, if
everyone is playing their A
game, we have a punchers
chance, Sorenson said. Its not
automatic.
What has been automatic is M-
As ability to sweep through Bay
Division play. Prior to yesterdays
fun in the sun, the Bears had
dropped just three individual
matches on the year. Built around a
good amount of youth, M-A has
four seniors in the mix. Only one
senior, Nick Fratt, saw action
Thursday, and that was in doubles
play for the usual No. 2 single.
Nick and Reed Fratt one tan-
dem of brothers the Bears feature
took over the No. 1 doubles
slot Thursday as a warm-up for
next weeks PALindividual tourna-
ment kicking off Wednesday at
Burlingame and San Mateo. Senior
Saul Menjivar and sophomore
Axel Brenner will play the other
PAL doubles match. M-A will fea-
ture seniors Scott Morris and Drew
Mathews in PAL singles play.
M-As other set of brothers are
Scott and Casey Morris. The elder
brother, Scott, has been accepted
academically to Stanford where he
will attend in the fall. Its a tting
destination considering both the
Morris boys parents attended
Stanford. Their father Peter played
for the Cardinal mens tennis
team. Their mother Linda Gates
played for the womens tennis
team, was a four-time All-
American and is in the Stanford
Hall of Fame.
The PAL team playoffs begin
Monday with M-A earning an
exemption and an automatic bye
into Central Coast Section play-
offs, beginning May 7, by virtue
of winning the Bay Division
championship. Seeding meetings
for CCS are scheduled for May 4.

The Sequoia softball team is in the unenvi-
able position of having to learning on the y
how to compete against the Peninsula
Athletic League Bay Division one of the
stronger leagues in the Central Coast
Section.
The Cherokees faced one of the best in the
PAL in Hillsdale Tuesday and things did not
go well. They committed ve errors in the
loss to the Knights.
That being said, Sequoias defensive de-
ciencies had nothing to do with their day at
the plate. The Cherokees failed to produce a
run in a 4-0 loss to Hillsdale three of
which were unearned thanks to the defensive
miscues.
Were just trying to be more consistent
(defensively), said Sequoia coach Scott
Reynick. We graduated six starters (from last
seasons fourth-place team), so we have six
new starters and only two returners to the
same spots.
Hillsdale, on the other hand, is looking to
make another long postseason run in the
Central Coast Section playoffs. The Knights
took a step backward with a 4-1 upset loss to
Burlingame Tuesday, but they rebounded with
a solid effort Thursday.
The girls were really focused today. They
buried Tuesdays game, said Hillsdale coach
Randy Metheany. Tuesday we didnt play
real well. You dont want to string two (bad
games) together.
It appeared Sequoia (2-6 PALBay, 6-9 over-
all) might continue Hillsdales string of less-
than-stellar performances by loading the
bases in the top of the rst inning on a single
from Jackie Hutchison and back-to-back,
two-out walks to Jenette Masarie and Allison
Amaya.
But Hillsdale pitcher Eryn McCoy wiggled
out of the jam and then scattered four more
hits the rest of the way.
We couldnt get that big hit, Reynick
said. If we score that rst run, things could
have been different. [Scoring the rst run]
changes the whole complexion of the game.
ACam Cosentino double in the fourth was
the only other Sequoia batter to get as far as
second base after that rst inning as McCoy
nished with seven strikeouts.
[McCoy] was sharp today. Shes been
pitching a lot because Tori (Pierucci) is hurt,
Metheany said. [McCoys] screwball was
really good. She had good control. Her off-
speed pitch was also good.
While Sequoia failed to take advantage of
its chances in the rst, Hillsdale (5-3, 14-5)
had no such problem as the Knights pushed
across a pair of runs in the bottom of the
inning. Megan Wells led off for the Knights
with a shot to left eld for a double. Sister
Riley Wells followed and hit what appeared to
be a sure out to right eld which was
dropped with Megan Wells moving to
third.
With Sharona Mataele at the plate, Riley
Wells stole second and later Megan Wells
scored on a wild pitch to give Hillsdale a 1-0
lead. Mataele would smoke a line drive to left
that was caught and followed by a strikeout.
Sequoia pitcher Gina Rodriguez who limit-
ed the Knights to just ve hits appeared to
be out of the inning when she induced Lauren
Quirke to hit a grounder to shortstop, but the
throw to rst sailed over the rst basemans
head, enabling Riley Wells to score and give
Hillsdale a 2-0 lead.
The Cherokees kept the Knights off the
scoreboard in the second and third innings,
but Sequoias third error of the game led to
Hillsdales third run of the game. With one
out, Bailey Nestor came to the plate and
popped a pitch foul near the fence in front of
the Sequoia dugout. The Cherokeesrst base-
man appeared to catch it, but it popped out of
her glove. Nestor took advantage of the new
life and laced the next pitch well over the
head of the center elder. The ball rolled all
the way to the Hillsdale frosh-soph eld,
allowing Nestor to round the bases for a
home run.
Hillsdale then capped the scoring in the
bottom of the sixth with another unearned
run when Nestor, who had singled to lead off
the inning, scored on a Kara Ronberg sacri-
ce y to right.
Nestor finished the game with two of
Hillsdales five hits. Cosentino led the
Sequoia offense with three of the Cherokees
four hits.
Hillsdale beats mistake-prone Sequoia
Baseball
Aragon 7, Hillsdale 4
The Dons persevered in a wild seventh
inning to win a critical game to stay in the
thick of the Peninsula Athletic League
Ocean division race.
Brennan Carey hit a walk-off, three-run
bomb to break a 4-4 tie. Carey also earned
the win in relief in his rst decision of the
year.
Riding high on an outstanding perform-
ance by starting pitcher Kevin Hahn,
Aragon entered the nal inning leading 4-1.
But Hillsdale rallied to tie it in the top of the
frame. The Dons burned through three pitch-
ers in the inning, with Carey emerging only
to walk in the tying run before escaping
with the tie still in tact.
Carey tabbed three hits and ve RBIs on
the day and was a triple short of the cycle.
Aragons Brenden Donnelly and Chad
Franquez had two hits apiece.
Hahn threw six-plus innings, allowing
five hits to take a no-decision. Adam
Schembri, despite throwing a complete
game, took his rst loss of the year for the
Knights.
With the win, the Dons (6-4 PAL Ocean,
11-9 overall) move back into a second-
place tie with the Knights (6-4, 13-7).

ry.
The Cherokees scored two runs in both
the second and third innings before break-
ing the game open with a six-run fourth.
Spencer Smith, making his rst start of
the season because of a shoulder injury,
cracked a two-run homer for Sequoia, while
Matt Lopez continued his hot streak by
going 3 for 4 with an RBI. Liam Clifford
was 3 for 5 with two runs driven in, while
Gonzalo Rodriguez also drove in a pair of
runs.

Thank you thank
you thank you.
This is what I hear
over and over, year
after year, from
families that we
serve. Either
verbally or in hand-written cards or letters
families say thank you: Thank for your
help; Thank you for all you have done to
make this process easier; Thank you for
making this final tribute to my mother one
which will be fondly remembered; Thank
you for your advice; Thank you for being
there for us at a time we needed you most;
Thank you for making it all easy for us;
Thank you for being a friend, etc. To hear
Thank you time and time again is a
confirmation for me that our Chapel of the
Highlands crew is doing their best to serve
families whove been through a death, in an
appropriate and professional manner, and
that we are doing the right thing in caring
for families during a difficult situation, in
turn making it more of a comfort for them.
Normally saying Youre welcome is
the correct response. Youre welcome, or
You are welcome, can be taken a number
of different ways. Generally it means you
are always a welcome guest. It can also be
taken as a blessing meaning you wish
wellness on the person who thanked you.
Wishing wellness or health to anyone is a
nice gesture. In recent years though we all
have witnessed the term Youre welcome
being substituted with Thank you back at
the person who is doing the thanking. This
is OK, but saying Youre welcome first
is taken as a hospitable and warm gesture.
Now that Thank you and Youre
welcome have been established, I would
like to say thank you back to the families we
serve: Thank you for supporting the Chapel
of the Highlands. Thank you for your
faithful patronage. Because of you we have
been able to continue with our high
standards and excellent level of service for
many years, since 1952. Thank you to those
families who weve helped so many times in
the past. Thank you to the new families
whove discovered that we offer them
respect and provide the dignified care that
their loved one deserves.
Your support, and the continued interest
from the community in our service, is what
keeps us going strong and available when
we are needed. Our costs have always been
considered fair, and the funds taken in for
our services are also very much appreciated.
Those Chapel of the Highlands funds along
with our support sifts back to the community
in different ways. Donations to local causes,
along with the donation of time through
membership in service organizations such as
Lions, I.C.F., Historical Society, Chamber
of Commerce, etc. is natural for us. Giving
back as a volunteer via these groups helps in
binding us with our neighbors, together
creating a better community for the future.
All in all there are many ways to say
Thank you. Doing so in a variety of ways
can create a circle of gratitude, in turn
making our community a better place.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)
588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you
in a fair and helpful manner. For more info

from the 2012-13 season either graduate
or transfer. That put a chip on the shoul-
ders of the Padres players and they went
out to prove the detractors wrong. They
finished second in the West Catholic
Athletic League, advanced to the Central
Coast Section Open Division finals and to
the semifinals of the Northern California
tournament.
Mahoney averaged 18 points this past
season and became a leader for the Padres.
I think (SJSU) will be a really great
opportunity for him, said Serra coach
Chuck Rapp. He had an outstanding season
for us, one of the best offensive basketball
seasons for a guard in Serra history.
At 6-feet tall, Mahoney wont wow any-
body with his stature. But he plays the game
much bigger. A lethal 3-point shooter,
Mahoney isnt afraid to put the ball on the
oor and attack the rim. He is also a strong
rebounder for a point guard and does a good
job of trying to get his teammates involved
in the offense.
Mahoney is also a rare four-year varsity
player, playing his rst two seasons at
Hillsdale before transferring to Serra. He
came off the bench for the rst time in his
career as a junior at Serra before moving
into the starting lineup this season.
Mahoney had a couple of Division II
offers on the table, but he was condent he
had the talent to play at the Division I level.
It took a while before the bigger schools
started calling, however.
Mainly this year, toward CCS and play-
offs. Thats when [the recruiting] started to
pick up, Mahoney said.
San Jose State entered a new conference
with a new coach this past season and had
their difficulties. Dave Wojcik took over
the Spartans program this year and guided
them to a 1-17 record in their first season
in the Mountain West Conference and 7-
24 overall.
Mahoney is hoping he can help turn the
program around and he knows anything he
gets playing next season will all be him.
I was talking to coach Wojcik and he
said, (Playing time) is pretty much up to
you. Im going to treat you like any other
scholarship player, Mahoney said.
Which is the way it should be.
MAHONEY
officials called him for a block against
Grifn, who made 1 of 2 free throws.
Curry hit another 3-pointer with 11 sec-
onds left. Paul missed 1 of 2 free throws,
giving Golden State the ball with 8.6 sec-
onds remaining.
Jordan intentionally fouled Curry off the
inbound to make Golden State inbound the
ball again. And the Warriors ran the same
play to Curry, whose 3-pointer sailed short.
Jordan grabbed the rebound, and tossed it
out to Paul as time expired.
The victory was another big step for the
third-seeded Clippers after they lost home-
court advantage by losing Game 1 in Los
Angeles. They regrouped to rout Golden
State 138-98 in Game 2 in Los Angeles on
Monday night.
But they still had to win on the road and at
Oracle Arena both of which had been
tough obstacles to overcome.
The Clippers had lost 15 of their previous
17 games in Oakland, including ve in a
row. Los Angeles also had lost ve consecu-
tive road playoff games.
With the amped-up fans screaming at full
throat, the teams returned to the fast and
physical style that had been the theme in
their regular-season meetings.
Ofcials called a agrant foul on Clippers
forward Matt Barnes for shoving Andre
Iguodala to the oor by the back of his head
as the two jostled for position under the bas-
ket in the rst quarter. A few possessions
later, David Lee leveled Paul to the ground
on a blind-side screen.
All the while, Griffin and Jordan just
dominated the paint against an undersized
Warriors team playing without center
Andrew Bogut, who is out indefinitely with
a fractured right rib. The Clippers also kept
trapping and double-teaming Curry, forc-
ing him to pass or attempt difficult shots
on the perimeter.
Tensions started to escalate again when
Warriors reserve Green swung his arm and
fouled Grifn under the basket, drawing a a-
grant foul. Fans serenaded Griffin with
chants of Flopp-er! Flopp-er!
Green sparked a brief scoring surge with a
driving dunk and a 3-pointer to bring the
Warriors within eight. But Jamal Crawford
quieted the crowd once more with three
straight jumpers, sending the Clippers to
the fourth quarter with a 75-64 lead pro-
viding just enough separation to hold off
the Warriors nal rally.
NOTES: The Clippers had not won at
Golden State since Dec. 25, 2011. ... The
last time the Warriors won a playoff series
when they lost a home game was in 1977
to Detroit.
WARRIORS
players in Game 4 after just 10 Kings scored
in the rst three games combined.
Williams got his first two goals of the
postseason after dropping off the Kings
top line, matching his two-goal second
period last year during Game 7 of Los
Angeles second-round victory over the
Sharks.
Gaborik has three goals in his rst four
playoff games with the Kings, who are get-
ting what they sought when they acquired
the Slovak star from Columbus last month.
The Kings won another high-intensity
edition of the rivals third postseason series
in four years. The nal minute was marred by
more goonery and shenanigans, including a
wild ght between San Joses Brent Burns
and Los Angeles Robyn Regehr after the
nal buzzer.
Los Angeles shufed its top line for Game
4, putting Gaborik and Brown, who hadnt
scored in the series, alongside center Anze
Kopitar. The changes paid off just 4:08 in
when Brown pushed the puck down the wing
and ung it in front for Gaborik.
San Jose evened it with 7.3 seconds left in
the period, nishing a dominant offensive
shift with Sheppards rst goal in 21 career
playoff games on a rebound in front.
Williams put the Kings back ahead on a
power-play goal aided by Mike Richards,
with both veteran forwards scoring their
rst points of the series. The Sharks pulled
even again on Nietos chip shot off defense-
man Alec Martinezs shoulder.
Instead of deflating, the Kings kept
pushing. After Williams reclaimed the lead
by tucking in a long rebound off the end
boards, Toffoli swept home a loose puck
that deflected off Andrew Desjardins
glove in the final minute of the period,
sending Los Angeles into the third with a
standing ovation.
Alex Stalock made several big saves in
his NHLplayoff debut after relieving Niemi.
Williams thought he had completed a hat
trick with 8:50 to play, but his goal was
waved off due to a cross-checking penalty
on Jarret Stoll in front of the Sharks net an
instant earlier. Pavelski scored on a rebound
moments later during the power play.
NOTES: Nieto, a Long Beach native,
scored in both games at Staples Center
against his favorite childhood team. ...
Sheppard was the 12th Sharks player to
score a goal in the series. ... The Kings
havent been swept in a playoff series since
2000. San Jose earned its only sweep in the
rst round against Vancouver last spring. ...
Pau Gasol and Larry David watched the game
from seats on the glass.

HOUSTON Josh Donaldson hit a pair of
two-run homers to help the Oakland
Athletics cruise to a 10-1 win over the
Houston Astros on Thursday night.
It was the rst career multihomer game for
Donaldson, who connected in the first
inning and pushed the lead to 10-1 with a
second shot in the seventh. Alberto
Callaspo added a two-run homer in the third
and Jed Lowrie had three hits for the As ,
who improved to 24-5 against Houston,
which joined the American League before
the start of last season.
Scott Kazmir is off to a 3-0 start for the
rst time in his career after allowing ve
hits and a run with seven strikeouts in six
innings. He lowered his ERAto 1.62.
The Athletics jumped on Houston starter
Brett Oberholtzer (0-4) early and tagged him
for a career-high six runs on and eight hits,
which tied a career-high, in just 3 2-3
innings.
Houstons only run came on a bases-
loaded walk in the rst inning and they had
trouble stringing any hits together. They
had a terrible night on defense, committing
ve errors after entering the night leading
the majors with a .992 elding percentage
and just seven errors.
The Astros were swept by the As in a
three-game series in Oakland last week and
there still seemed to be some animosity
between the teams from an 11-3 loss in the
rst game of that series.
In that game, Houston reliever Paul
Clemens appeared to try to hit Lowrie with a
pitch in the third inning after Lowrie had
attempted a bunt in the rst with Oakland up
by seven runs. Houston manager Bo Porter
came out of the dugout to scream at Lowrie
after he hit a y out after two inside pitches.
On Thursday night, Clemens was ejected
after hitting Lowrie on the backside with
the rst pitch of the at-bat with Oakland
leading 8-1. Donaldson hit his second home
run after the plunking.
Donaldsons towering 389-foot homer,
which clanged high off the foul pole in left
eld, gave Oakland a 2-0 lead in the rst
inning. Houston cut it to 2-1 when Chris
Carter drew a bases-loaded walk in the bot-
tom of the inning.
The trouble continued for Oberholtzer in
the second inning when Craig Gentry dou-
bled with one out. He then plunked Brandon
Moss before a two-out RBI bloop single by
Coco Crisp. Crisp advanced to second on an
error by George Springer on the play.
Donaldson hit a leadoff double in the third
and scored on a single by Derek Norris with
one out to make it 4-1. Callaspo followed
with his two-run home run to the Crawford
Boxes in left eld to push the lead to 6-1.

DAILY JOURNAL SPORTS FILE

SamTuivailala, a former Aragon standout, is in his fourth season with the St. Louis Cardinals
orginzation, which selected him in the 2010 MLB draft.
on and one out in the eighth inning,
Tuivailala entered the game only to be con-
fronted with an old rival, and friend, as
Hillsborough native Tyler Goeddel was
standing on third base.
Tuivailala promptly induced two harmless
y outs to end the inning and strand his old
Little League rival at third. Then after a lead-
off double in the ninth, Tuivailala responded
by striking out the side to notch his second
career save.
If Tuivailala has his way, it will be the sec-
ond of many.
As of right now, I would say [the
Cardinals] see me as a late-inning guy,
hopefully as a closer, Tuivailala said.
There were talks of me going to the start-
ing rotation a year and a half ago. But I
think, if anything, they just want me to get
my command down and all my pitches to go
as planned rst. But Im perfectly ne being
in a closing situation. I like coming out of
the bullpen.
After two lackluster offensive seasons in
the Gulf Coast League in which he posted a
.220 batting average throughout 2010 and
11, Tuivailala converted to the mound.
Essentially a one-pitch pitcher at the outset
of 2012, hes been a project.
Sure, Tuivailala featured a curveball in
high school, but admittedly it was a glori-
ed changeup which he had to reinvent if he
stood any hope of surviving against profes-
sional hitters. And after playing at Short-
Season Johnson City, Tenn. in 2012, he
certainly experienced his share of ups-and-
downs in his rst full season at Low-A
Peoria last year.
I denitely learned that fast last year,
Tuivailala said. I thought I could just blow
by guys with the fastball. Theres a lot of
hitters in the league that can hit a 97 (mph),
so Ive got to use the curveball to get them
off my fastball.
Despite scufing with a 0-3 record and a
5.35 ERAin 2013, Tuivailalas electric stuff
was evidenced by his tabbing 50 strikeouts
over 35 1/3 innings.
This year has been a different story.
Tuivailala didnt allow a run through his rst
six appearances of the year. Since getting
touched for a run Tuesday against Mets afl-
iate St. Lucie, the right-hander owns a 1.08
ERA through 8 1/3 innings while striking
out 16 against eight strikeouts.
When I rst converted, I would say my
arm wasnt used to all this throwing as a
pitcher, Tuivailala said. So, obviously
the little aches and pains were getting to
me, but now I would say my arm is more in
shape.
Tuivailala, 21, stayed in shape during the
offseason by returning home and training at
Aragon. His homecoming was quite a thrill
not just for the current Dons squad, but also
for manager Lenny Souza.
Souza and Tuivailala have a special bond,
as the two ascended through the high school
ranks together. Souzas first managerial
post at Aragon was for the frosh-soph squad
in 2007, Tuivailalas freshman season. Two
years later, when Tuivailala was promoted to
the varsity squad as a junior with teammates
Chris Hahn and Drew Vanisi, Souza took
over at the varsity helm.
It was really cool, Souza said. I got to
grow up with that group. I grew as a coach
and they all grew as players. It was a really
fun group.
The map of Tuivailalas prep career paral-
leled that of his rst four pro seasons. As a
two-way player, he proved an impact bat in
2009 by leading the Dons to a 14-0 record
in Peninsula Athletic League Ocean
Division play en route to earning Ocean
Division Player of the Year honors.
After working almost exclusively as a
reliever in 2009 behind a pair of 10-game
winners in seniors T.J. Dinges and Aaron
Cutts, Tuivailala moved to the starting rota-
tion in 2010 and earned PAL Pitcher of the
Year honors.
[Former Burlingame ace Grant Goodman]
is the closest thing Ive seen to him, Souza
said. And Goodman was a true pitcher. Sam
was an athlete out there. Its a little differ-
ent. Thats why you see him having com-
mand issues out there (now), because hes an
athlete. Hes still learning a lot.
But hes got a lot to draw from, currently
on staff with a pair of rst-round draft picks
including former Gonzaga ace Marco
Gonzales.
Marco Gonzales, he is a great pitcher,
Tuivailala said. Overall,l our pitching
staff, Im really happy with it. We have a
good amount of guys. We have a lot of good
young guys as well. But throughout the
whole system it is a battle because there are
a lot of good arms in the system.
So far as good arms go, Tuivailala certain-
ly has one. And its just such arms that paced
the big-league Cardinals to two World Series
appearances in the past three years.

NHL PLAYOFFS
Walker memorable in
gritty Brick Mansions
By Jessica Herndon
Adrenaline runs high in the entertaining, action-
heavy remake of the 2004 French lm District
B13. Starring the late Paul Walker in one of his last
roles, Brick Mansions packs gunghts, car chas-
es, acrobatic stunts and humor into one stylized
package.
In the urban ghetto of Detroit, which has been
surrounded by a containment wall, narcotics of-
cer Damien (Walker) goes undercover and teams
with ex-con Lino (David Belle) to inltrate a
crew of criminals and defuse a conscated bomb.
Originally set for a February release, the lm
comes ve months after Walkers death in a car
accident and it was a bit unsettling to see him
running around in the future. But his love for
action roles comes through clearly in this
movie. From the detailed ght scenes to the
subtle humor, Walker was in his element. Hes
as gutsy and charming as ever.
Wu-Tang Clan rapper RZAplays crime lord
Tremaine. As the ring leader of the slums,
RZA looks the part. But rarely do you
believe a word he says when he attempts to be threat-
ening. Theres too much hesitation and not enough
conviction. Later, Tremaine reveals redeeming quali-
ties, which RZA embodies with more believability.
Theres an element of camp to this movie as well,
which allows those who arent the best actors
Walker included to prompt a few laughs.
Brick Mansions was directed by newbie Camille
Delamarre and written by Luc Besson, who also
wrote District B13. Like the original, Mansions
is set in the near future, although theres really noth-
ing in the lm that shows us were a few years ahead
other than the 2018 that is ashed on the screen.
The many ght sequences were choreographed
using a technique called Parkour, which was created
by Belle, also a star in the original lm. Parkour
incorporates vaulting, ipping, swinging, rolling, etc.,
to move through various obstacles in a scene. The
action is frozen for a split second during many of
these moves and extreme close-ups put us right in the
action.
At times the Parkour technique requires the ability
to suspend disbelief, especially when a character is

ARTISTS WELCOME THE PUBLIC
AT PENINSULA ART INSTITUTE IN
BURLINGAME. The Peninsula Art
Institute (PAI), a department of the
Peninsula Museum of Art, is home to more
than 25 studio artists in disciplines includ-
ing Painting, Sculpture, Photography and
Fibre Art. Its mission is to provide a sup-
portive working environment for creative
professionals in the visual arts and a cul-
tural resource for the community. The 500-
square-foot PAI exhibition space exhibits
work from the resident artists and also
stages shows from external artists. Two
events in May give members of the public
a chance to learn of the work of the PAI
artists.
VISIT THE ARTISTS OF PENINSU-
LA ART INSTITUTE DURING SILI-
CON VALLEY OPEN STUDIOS 11
A. M. TO 5 P. M. SATURDAY, MAY 3
AND SUNDAY, MAY 4 . Artists are on
hand to discuss their work and explain the
process of artistic creation. Current resi-
dent artists are Doris Arrington, Leon
Cannon, Werner Glinka, Kay Podolsky,
Ann Dinapoli, Leigh Toldi, Karin
Moggridge, Wayne Wichern, Lisa Babbitt,
Eunice Chan, Doriane Heyman, Teresa Hsu,
Annette Legallet, June Levin, Neil

reservation is required. For more informa-
tion about Silicon Valley Open Studios or
individual artists visit

MAY 18 RECEPTION FOR THE
OPENING OF NATURAL VISIONS.
Beginning May 18, The Peninsula Art
Institute presents a duo exhibit, Natural
Visions, featuring the work of photogra-
phers Kay Podolsky and Ellen Lee. This
exhibition explores how different photo-
graphic images can offer new perspectives
on photographic art two artists reveal-
ing the parallels between their distinctive
visions. Lee said: Working abstractly
could impact an images meaning.
Looking for beauty in the ordinary and
spotlighting fragmentation in most of my
work, the curious are compelled to contem-
plate the reason for their visual impres-
sion. Podolsky said, Augmenting reality
to entice the viewer to feel the 3-D image
requires a knowledge of perspective and the
use of technology to produce my work. The
images have a tactile quality a 2-D photo
can only approximate. Their construction
can go beyond reality as when a cats paw
reaches out of the mat and dares the viewer
to pet it; or a tulip lowers its blossom to
show the interior of its cup. Natural
Visions, to be held in the Peninsula Art
Institute Gallery, runs from May 15
through June 22. A public reception is
scheduled for Sunday, May 18 from 1 p.m.
to 4 p.m.
ART CLASSES AT PAI. The Peninsula
Art Institute offers on-going classes in
drawing, hat making, painting art furni-
ture, metal weaving, paper decoupage and
sculpting in wood and stone.
FOR ARTISTS WHO WANT TO JOIN
PAI. The Peninsula Art Institute provides a
limited number of studios to adult visual
artists without restrictions as to city of
residence, although residents of San Mateo
County are considered more likely to make
good use of studios. Studios are working
studios and must be used primarily for the
creation and promotion of the work of the
tenant artist. Studio artists may also use
their studios to provide art classes to the
community. Alist of applicants is kept on
file. When an opening occurs, applicants
are invited for an interview and to see the
space. Interested applicants are asked to
bring in four to six pieces of current work,
a resume and other relevant information.
PAI PARTICULARS. The Peninsula
Art Institute is located at 1777 California
Drive in Burlingame, across the courtyard
from the Peninsula Museum of Arts main
entrance, and is open the same hours as the
museum, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday
through Sunday. For more information

laartinstitute.org or call (650) 692-2101.

DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Deaf from birth, a young Englishman
born into a hearing family has become
skilled at reading lips. Ayoung woman, who
could hear when she was born into a deaf
family and has learned sign language, is los-
ing her hearing.
Their differing backgrounds and abilities
form the essential conict in Nina Raines
sometimes amusing Tribes, presented by
Berkeley Repertory Theatre.
When they become romantically
involved, Sylvia (Nell Geisslinger) teaches
Billy (James Caverly) sign language. He
then insists that he and his family commu-
nicate that way only, much to their dismay.
His family is a loud, expletive-prone, dys-
functional group presided over by his
pompously intellectual father, Christopher
(Paul Whitworth), and his mother, Beth
(Anita Carey), a would-be writer.
Like Billy, their other two adult children,
Daniel (Dan Clegg) and Ruth (Elizabeth
Morton), still live at home, unable to get on
with their lives. Daniel has mental health
issues, while Ruth aspires to be an opera
singer until she hears a recording of herself
singing.
The plays title comes from the hierarchi-
cal nature of the community of the Deaf
(capitalized in the members preferred
style), depending on whether one was born
deaf or became deaf and whether ones par-
ents were deaf or hearing. Signing and lip
reading are other factors.
No matter how one is classied, however,
the community is insular, Sylvia com-
plains. Although she had been comfortable
in it, shes having doubts just as her hearing
loss is worsening.
Although the concept is intriguing and
worthy of consideration, its difcult to care
about any of the characters except Billy and
Sylvia. Christopher, the father, is too blus-
tery and critical.
Daniel, whose problems manifest them-
selves in hearing voices and stuttering, is
dependent on Billy and doesnt want him to
leave. Ruth is a cipher who complains a lot
and ghts with Daniel.
Beth, the mother, tries to be a peacekeep-
er, but shes an enabler, too.
Some plot threads go nowhere. One of the
lesser ones is what has happened to the
boyfriend that Sylvia had when she and
Billy met.
The more glaring one comes after Billy
gets a job as an expert witness who reads
lips in videos involving criminal cases and
his employer discovers he invented some
dialogue.

SALTLAKE CITY He plays a bumbling
dad on ABCs Modern Family, but in Salt
Lake City Ty Burrell is trying out for a role
as restaurateur.
Burrell has just opened Beer Bar, a beer
garden-like eatery that serves 150 beers
paired up with an array of house-made
bratwursts, local bread and Belgian fries.
The restaurant, which has high ceilings and
long tables and benches to evoke that
Bavarian beer hall feel, is next door to the
cocktail bar Burrell co-owns with an equally
simple name, Bar X.
Its a super simple menu, which is what
we wanted from the beginning, says
Burrell, sporting a scruffy beard and glass-
es. Basic, but well-made and local. Instead
of putting the energy into a lot of elements,
making sure you have fewer elements and
you are taking the time to make them
right.
For the menu, the Emmy-winning actor
teamed up with Viet Pham, an up-and-com-
ing Salt Lake City chef who was one of
Food and Wine magazines best new chefs in
2011. Burrell met Pham when he and his
wife ate at Forage, Phams Salt Lake City
restaurant, and were blown away by Phams
cooking. It turned out that Pham was a fan
of Bar X, and the seeds for the future part-
nership were planted.
Pham created what has become Beer Bars
signature dish: the Reuben brat. Its a sand-
wich stuffed with pastrami, bratwurst, Swiss
cheese and pickled vegetables that Burrell
says hes already eaten way too many of.
The bar and restaurant cement Burrells
roots in Salt Lake City, known less for
attracting Hollywood types and more as
host of the 2002 Winter Olympics and
home to The Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints.
Though born and raised in Oregon,
Burrell says he now feels very much like a
Salt Laker, having lived in the city since
2008. He and his wife, who was born and
raised in Utah, live here part of the year
with their two young daughters when
Burrell is not in Los Angeles filming
Modern Family or working on other proj-
ects.
I loved it from the rst time I got here,
he said. Its a very unassuming place, its a
very humble place.
Since Burrell moved here, his mother,
brother and a few cousins also relocated to
Utah. His brother, Duncan Burrell, is one of
his business partners and part of a team that
oversees the day-to-day operations of the
new restaurant and Bar X, which are joined
by a shared door between them.
Burrell said he often gets bemused looks
from his Hollywood friends when they nd
out he owns a bar and beer garden in Utah
famous for its teetotaling culture and strict
liquor laws.
Theres usually some sort of confusion
about why Ive opened a bar in Salt Lake,
he said Burrell, laughing.

Fresh mint so rarely gets its due in
America. We gladly pair it with choco-
late and fruit, but it almost never
makes appearances in savory dishes.
But the rest of the world knows better,
adding it with abandon to all manner of
savory dairy, vegetable and meat dish-
es. Thats because a little bit of its nat-
urally sweet, herby avor can go a
long way to playing up the savory ele-
ments of a dish.
To demonstrate what a delicious addi-
tion mint can be to meaty dishes, we
created these chicken wraps that are
seasoned with salty capers and olives,
a sweet hit of honey and a splash of
lemon all avors that meld wonder-
fully with fresh mint.
MINTED LEMON AND
OLIVE CHICKEN WRAPS
Start to nish: 45 minutes
Servings: 8
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chopped capers
1/2 cup oil-cured black olives, pitted
and chopped
Pinch red pepper akes
1 tablespoon coriander seeds,
crushed
Zest and juice of 2 lemons
2 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless
chicken thighs, trimmed and cut into
1-inch chunks
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
Salt and ground black pepper
8 pita breads or baguette sections, to
serve
1 cup fresh ricotta cheese
1 cup sliced seedless cucumber
In a large saute pan over medium-
high, heat the oil. Add the onion, gar-
lic, capers, olive and red pepper akes,
then saute for 6 to 8 minutes, or until
the onion is tender and starting to
brown. Add the coriander, lemon zest
and juice, and the chicken. Cook, stir-
ring often, until the chicken is cooked
through, 8 to 10 minutes.
Stir in the honey and mint, then sea-
son with salt and pepper. To serve,
spoon some of the chicken mixture
onto each pita bread or section of
baguette, then top with ricotta and
cucumber slices.

jumping from one rooftop to another,

climbing brick walls or overpowering as
many as four men at once.
Focused on finding Tremaine, who he
believes killed his father, Damiens moti-
vation is rooted in revenge. Linos subplot
revolves around his ex-girlfriend, Lola.
Tremaine has dragged her into the slums,
which she had worked hard to escape. But
shes no damsel in distress.
Lola can ght and handle a gun all
while showing off quite a bit of leg in a
waitress outt that looks like a truncated
schoolgirl uniform. At one point, Lola and
the main dame in Tremaines clique, Rayzah
(Ayisha Issa), who sports a tiny leather
ensemble, duke it out. Though its a clichid
fantasy come to life, its still a hot scene.
At the heart of the film is the social com-
mentary focusing on a community divided.
Within Brick Mansions, there is no
school, hospital or police station, and
those who live there are mostly minori-
ties. Its made clear that the government
could care less about the Brick folks, as
theyre said to contribute nothing to soci-
ety.
This is not a film that will shift any-
ones moral compass. But its worth it
to see Walker in the last film he was
able to complete.
Brick Mansions, a Relativity Media
release, is rated PG-13 by the Motion
Picture Association of America for frenet-
ic gunplay, violence and action through-
out, language, sexual menace and drug
material. Running time: 89 minutes. Two
stars out of four.
MPAA rating definition for PG-13:
Parents strongly cautioned. Some material
may be inappropriate for children under
13.
BRICK
director Jonathan Moscone has a good cast,
but he needs to exercise a rmer hand on the
scenes involving Christopher and some-
times Daniel, who can become manic.
Caverly, who is involved with the
National Theatre of the Deaf, has played the
role of Billy elsewhere and does a terric
job, especially with his concentration in
watching others speak and with his speech,
which is generally clear.
Geisslinger has a strong stage presence
and convincingly embodies Sylvias con-
icted emotions as her hearing dwindles.
Tribes has been a hit at theaters in
England and the United States, and Berkeley
Reps opening night audience gave it a rous-
ing ovation. Nevertheless, its not entirely
satisfying.
It continues at Berkeley Reps Thrust
Stage, 2025 Addison St., Berkeley, through
May 18. For tickets and information call

tobacco smoker turned avid e-ciga-
rette user. He already adheres to the
business practices and production
regulations outlined in the FDA pro-
posal, but thinks people are falsely
reacting to the product.
The reason Im OK today is
because no matter what they do Ive
already done what theyre requesting,
but the part that bothers me is it
gives people an alternative to a very
dangerous activity (smoking ciga-
rettes) and because it looks similar it
makes people react negatively to it,
Corbett said.
The FDA proposal is to classify e-
cigarettes as a tobacco product, ban
sales to minors and prohibit them
from being advertised as a reduced
risk alternative without scientific
evidence supporting the claim. It
would also require FDA approval for
new products, the disclosure of ingre-
dients and the display of warning
labels.
Prior to the proposal, FDA spokes-
woman Stephanie Yao said the $2 bil-
lion-a-year industry was ran like the
wild wild West. Although the propos-
al may not be as restrictive as some
would like, Yao added its a critical
step to reining in the product under
federal regulation.
This is something weve been
working on for quite a while now and
its been a priority to get this out,
Yao said. So for us, this is a great
day to let the public know and review
our proposal so we can move forward
in establishing the foundation to reg-
ulate these tobacco products so we
can give consumers info to then
determine whether or not they want
to use those products.
Oversight and classification
U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier has been
following this issue for some time.
In March, she sent a letter to the
House Committee on Oversight and
Government Reform, expressing her
concerns about a lack of FDA over-
sight, limited health-related testing
and the need for regulations to pre-
vent children from being exposed to
e-cigarettes. The proposal is a good
first step, Speier said, but she would
like to see significantly wider regula-
tion, especially in terms of protect-
ing children and former smokers from
being swayed by deceptive advertis-
ing and unsubstantiated claims that
these cigarettes are healthier than
other tobacco products.
Speier fears the FDAs proposal
also doesnt adequately address child
safety concerns and stated she plans
on introducing legislation in the
coming weeks to address the regula-
tory gaps.
For Speier, there is also a question
of quality control. While Corbett said
the primary other ingredients in e-
cigarettes are commonly used and
FDA approved, Speier said some of
the liquid comes from foreign coun-
tries with little oversight.
Its absolutely appropriate for the
FDAto step in and it also needs to do
an assessment on the toxicity of the
substances because most of the fluid
in e-cigarettes [is] imported, much
of it from China. There are real con-
cerns about whats really in it,
Speier said.
Without FDA regulations, there are
currently no production standards,
Yao said.
By bringing them under our
authority, but also funding scientific
research, we can get the necessary
scientific info to properly regulate
these products, Yao said. We
havent had any definitive answers
thats why we need the scientific
foundation to determine whether
these products are harmful or help-
ful.
Business owners, e-liquid producers
and industry representatives all say
there are aspects to the proposed reg-
ulations that are reasonable and they
already practice, but argue its cate-
gorically wrong to classify e-ciga-
rettes as tobacco products.
While there is a need for appropri-
ate and proportionate regulation of
vaporizers and e-cigarettes, these
products represent a new and unique
category. Trying to squeeze an
innovative vapor product into a regu-
latory structure that was designed for
traditional combustible and oral
tobacco products is simply not
appropriate, a representative of lob-
byist group Smoke Free Alternatives
Trade Association wrote in an email.
Way to quit
Joseph Pike, co-owner of the store
The Vape Area in San Mateo, adheres
to age restrictions and said smoking
in restaurants or certain public places
is just bad etiquette. But part of the
reason he opened up his new business
was so smokers could try a product
that helped him quit, Pike said.
People are talking about not hav-
ing enough research about e-cigs, but
I think thats funny, because we have
30 to 40 years of research about ciga-
rettes being dangerous, Pike said.
They say its up for debate about
how it could help you, but I see peo-
ple come in every single day peo-
ple are quitting cigarettes completely
because of [e-cigarettes] and feeling
happy and better about it. Just
because the research hasnt come out
yet, doesnt mean its not genuinely
affecting peoples lives right now.
Corbett and Pike said many vapor
shops started out as independent
brick-and-mortar businesses and pro-
hibiting online sales would encour-
age consumers to buy local.
The industry only pays sales tax
yet the FDA wants to regulate them
for tax incentives, Pike said. But
many people chose e-cigarettes as an
alternative is for both cost and health
incentives, Pike said.
When were helping people in the
community save money, theyre tak-
ing it from big tobacco and going
back and spending it in their own
communities, Pike said.
Although he sees why certain
aspects of the sale and production of
e-cigarettes deserves regulations, he
hopes people will take the time to
consider what else is at risk, Pike
said.
I just want people to be really
introspective and understand the
emotion thats involved and how
happy a family is when they get a
family member to quit, Pike said.
They dont want to present this as a
smoking cessation device, but the
fact is that they do help people quit.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF

Case Number: 124375
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Gary A, Patzelt. A Peti-
tion for Probate has been filed by Wolf-
gang J. Patzelt in the Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo. The
Petition for Probate requests that Wolf-
gang J. Patzelt be appointed as personal
representative to administer the estate of
the decedent.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: May 13, 2014 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
94063.
If you object to the granting of the peti-
tion, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hear-
ing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent cred-
itor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representa-
tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal au-
thority may affect your rights as a cred-
itor. You may want to consult with an at-
torney knowledgeable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.

the rinks closure. Were going to continue
to demand the City Council represent the
people and honor the intentions of the orig-
inal master plan which clearly specied the
rink was the recreational benet that allowed
Bridgepointe to be built, Artzt said.
Peter Meier represented SPI at the meeting
to discuss the pre-application and answer
questions.
SPI had withdrawn its rst pre-application
to modify the zoning code in April 2013
because it thought things had become com-
plicated and decided it wasnt in a position
to suggest what an alternate recreational
amenity would be, Meier said.
This second pre-application is different in
that it gives the city more authority to
decide what would be a suitable substitute,
Tricia Schimpp, planner for the city said
previously.
But attendees questioned if SPI had just
assumed supporters would have dispersed a
year later and dont think anything other
than an ice rink would be a fair trade.
With the closure of Redwood Citys
Malibu Grand Prix Family Entertainment
Center last year, parents and kids clung
tight to the possibility of the rinks return.
You dont take recreational facilities
from the children in our community. We
dont have enough; we have enough devel-
opment already, resident Christine Stiles
said.
Yet the city cannot force SPI to reopen the
rink, it can only prohibit it from building
over it without rst providing an alternative
recreational use the City Council approves.
If SPI isnt granted a zoning amendment, it
could opt to just keep the lot vacant.
In order to evolve and compete with the
neighboring Stanford and Hillsdale shop-
ping centers, SPI determined the space
would be better served as retail, Meier said.
Some teens cited the ease with which they
could shop online while parents reminded
SPI there is no better attraction for out-of-
towners as theres a shortage of places to
skate, not a shortage of malls.
Susan DeLance lives in San Jose and said
the only reason she ever shopped at
Bridgepointe was because she took her son
there to skate.
If you want to limit your sales to the
local area, thats ne. Theres nothing else
in the area to draw people to Bridgepointe,
DeLance said.
Meier reminded the public the city would
be receiving annual tax revenue and a mone-
tary amount to be contributed toward a recre-
ational use that would be determined at a
later date. Regardless, its private, not pub-
lic, property and SPI doesnt plan on
reopening the ice rink, Meier said. It will,
however, work with the city and try to nd a
solution, Meier said.
Nearly all of Thursday nights attendees
argued for the preservation of the ice rink
and for Richard Beames, it was about SPI
following through with its commitment.
You see all the kids in the room here? Im
trying to think [of] what I have to tell my
kids, because the buyers of this property
made a promise to the city, to the people of
this city, Beames said. But I think the les-
son Im having to tell my kids is if you
make enough money son, you can break
your promises. And I dont think thats a
lesson you should have to tell your kids.
The San Mateo Planning Commission
will hold a study session to discuss the
Bridgpointe pre-application to amend the
Master Plan 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 27 at
City Hall, 330 W. 20th Ave., San Mateo.

The proposed rules, issued Thursday by the
Food and Drug Administration, tread fairly
lightly. They would ban sales to anyone
under 18, add warning labels and require FDA
approval for new products.
Some public health experts say a measured
approach is the right one. They think that
the devices, which heat a nicotine solution
to produce an odorless vapor without the
smoke and tar of burning tobacco, can help
smokers quit.
This could be the single biggest opportu-
nity thats come along in a century to make
the cigarette obsolete, said David Abrams,
executive director of the Schroeder Institute
for Tobacco Research and Policy Studies at
the American Legacy Foundation.
Still, some wonder whether e-cigarettes
keep smokers addicted or hook new users and
encourage them to move on to tobacco. And
some warn that the FDA regulations could
have unintended consequences.
If the regulations are too heavy-handed,
theyll have the deadly effect of preventing
smokers from quitting by switching to these
dramatically less harmful alternatives, said
Jeff Stier, senior fellow at the National
Center for Public Policy Research, a conser-
vative think tank in Washington.
Scientists havent nished much research
on e-cigarettes, and the studies that have
been done have been inconclusive. The gov-
ernment is pouring millions into research to
supplement independent and company stud-
ies on the health risks of e-cigarettes and
other tobacco products as well as who uses
them and why.
There are far more questions than
answers, acknowledged Mitch Zeller, direc-
tor of the FDAs Center for Tobacco Products.
But he said the proposed rules would result
in signicant public health benets, includ-
ing through reducing sales to youth, helping
to correct consumer misperceptions, pre-
venting misleading health claims and pre-
venting new products from entering the mar-
ket without scientic review by FDA.
The FDA has left the door open to further
regulations, such as a ban on TV advertising
and fruit- or candy-avored e-cigarettes
measures that some anti-smoking groups and
members of Congress are demanding.
It is inexcusable that it has taken the FDA
and the administration so long to act. This
delay has had serious public health conse-
quences as these unregulated tobacco prod-
ucts have been marketed using tactics and
sweet flavors that appeal to kids, the
Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids said in a
statement.
The FDAsaid it wants more evidence before
it rushes into more regulations.
Any further rules will have to be grounded
in our growing body of knowledge and under-
standing about the use of e-cigarettes and
their potential health risks or public health
benets, FDA Commissioner Dr. Margaret
Hamburg said.
Electronic cigarettes are becoming a big
business. The industry started on the Internet
and at shopping-mall kiosks and has rocket-
ed from thousands of users in 2006 to sever-
al million worldwide, with a choice of more
than 200 brands.
Sales are estimated to have reached nearly
$2 billion in 2013. Tobacco companies have
noticed that e-smokes are eating into ciga-
rette sales, and they have jumped into the
business, too.
Smokers like e-cigarettes because the nico-
tine-infused vapor looks like smoke but
doesnt contain the thousands of chemicals,
tar or odor of regular cigarettes. Some smok-
ers use e-cigarettes as a way to quit smoking
tobacco, or to cut down.
If the product as I use it now becomes ille-
gal, Im not sure whatll happen. Ill proba-
bly end up smoking again, said 38-year-old
Jason Todrick of Huntington Beach, Calif.,
who kicked his more than 20-year smoking
habit two years ago using an e-cigarette.
In addition to mandating warning labels
that say nicotine is an addictive chemical,
the rules would require e-cigarette makers to
disclose their products ingredients. They
would not be allowed to claim their products
are safer than other tobacco products.
In addition, they couldnt give out free
samples or sell e-cigarettes in vending
machines unless they are in a place open
only to adults, such as a bar.
