For the first time, in 2016, residents of north San Mateo County
will have a chance to pick their
own supervisor for the District 5

So far, four candidates have
lined up to replace her including
two who currently serve on the

South City composer gives back to community

Police reports

Francis Wong shares passion for art and music with local public school students

This movies a snore

By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

After developing his passion for music


and storytelling in South San Francisco,
jazz musician and composer Francis Wong
has made it his goal to give back to the
community that helped him hone the passion that is now his livelihood.
Wong, who lives in South San Francisco,
said he feels compelled to try to breed the
same passion for art and music that was built
in him as a student in his native community.
He is collaborating with local professional musicians and the California Arts Council
to visit classrooms in the South San
Francisco public school system to show
students that a career in the arts is attainable.
Ive been striving to give back to public
schools, as far as supporting access to
artists, he said. Its really important, to
give the community access to those careers
... Its a way to break barriers.
Wong, who has performed across the
globe in cities such as London, Tokyo,
Chicago, San Francisco and many other
communities, said his time growing up in
South San Francisco was integral to developing his passion for music.
The connection between the music department in schools and the greater artistic
community helped nurture his passion for
learning to play instruments, he said.
From there, Wong, 57, moved on to
attend Stanford University, and began
establishing his reputation as a world-class
saxophonist, flutist and player of the erhu,
which is a stringed instrument from China.
He is also a composer and focuses introducing storytelling into his works, which
he attributes to the time spent in South San
Francisco classrooms.
Teachers used to read stories in class, and
simultaneously play records, which helped

Francis Wong said his time growing up in


South San Francisco was integral to
developing his passion for music.
him realize how the journey of characters
interplays with music.
I think I had an appreciation for stories
that was always with me, he said.
Wong is now working on a four-part musical, Wong Weis Gamble, which will memorialize the story of his grandfather, a professional jockey who opened a race horse track
in China during the Japanese occupation of
World War II.
The performance will feature Wong,
playing alongside Tatsu Aoki, who will
play the shamisen, a Japanese stringed
instrument, as well as dancer and choreo g rap h er Len o ra Lee, b as s i s t J o h n Carlos Perea, guitarist Karl Evangelista
and drummers Deszon Claiborne, Karen

Stockpole and Yangqin Zhao.


The performance will take place May 30
during the San Francisco International Arts
Festival.
Wong said the project is a product of moving back to South San Francisco, and in
with his father, who helped him understand
his grandfathers life.
This is part of his story, said Wong.
Its about his father, and his relationship
to horse racing.
He said it is a privilege to work with professional artists to share the life and times
of his grandfather on stage.
I feel very fortunate that I can use my
music, working with writers and dancers, to
tell my family story, he said.
He said his appreciation for musical theater was spawned when he was a student of
Sunshine Gardens Elementary School and
the class went to see operas.
Recent cuts to public school art programs
has been part of the impetus for Wong to
give back to the music programs in the
school from which he grew, he said.
There is increasing pressure for schools
to perform with less resources, so a lot of
times, the arts have suffered cuts over the
years, he said. That is unfortunate,
because I believe the arts education I
received in public schools is a democratizing element. Im came from a working class
family, but I was able to go to Stanford, and
I think the school prepared me to succeed.

Jonathan Oshita, 28, pleaded no contest

Prosecutors had initially charged Oshita
with felony assault on a police officer for
the Oct. 10, 2013, confrontation he had
with Burlingame police. He was hit with a
Taser while he lunged at the officers with a
machete, according to prosecutors.
Oshitas defense attorney, Geoff Carr,
argued that Oshita at no point assaulted the
officers and any attack occurred after the
officers had used the Taser on him. He said
the case did not merit any more charges
than the two misdemeanor counts.

Biden visited a power plant in Oakland,
California, on Friday and spoke with veterans enrolled in a job-training program as
part of a two-day swing through the Bay
Area.
Biden spoke with 15 students in Pacific
Gas & Electrics workforce development
program before a broader press event where
he spoke about the importance of workforce
development, especially for veterans,
according to remarks released by the White
House.
Employment among veterans is improving, even as problems remain, he said. The
good news, ladies and gentleman, is that
America is back, Biden said.

Joe Biden

He praised PG&Es

prepares people for
careers as utility workers, welders, gas-service
representatives and other
jobs. Since 2008, the
program has trained more
than 600 students, and
about half of them are
veterans, according to

the company.
The vice president gave his speech before

He ignored a question shouted at him
about a $1.6 billion penalty levied against

FBI to probe S.F. jail-fighting allegations


By Kristen J. Bender
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO The FBI is investigating allegations that San Francisco sheriffs deputies arranged and gambled on fights
between jail inmates and told the inmates to
lie if they needed medical attention.
Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi announced the
independent probe Friday, and a representative from the FBI confirmed the investigation in an email to the Associated Press. The
departments internal affairs unit and the
U.S. Department of Justice are investigating as well.

The news of the forced fights came to


light in late March, when Public Defender
Jeff Adachi said four deputies at the County
Jail threatened inmates with violence if
they did not fight each other.
I am pleased the feds have granted my
request. They can lead an impartial investigation without conflict of interests,
Mirkarimi said. Call it a pre-emptive strike
or call it preventative medicine, but my
request to the U.S. Department of Justice
underscores my determination to not allow
any person or clique to deter or derail our
reforms toward greater transparency and
accountability in and outside the jails.

San Diego, Los Angeles mayors


take the stage in drought fight
By Fenit Nirappil
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO San Diego Mayor


Kevin Faulconer announced this week that
his city would be deploying water cops and
offering money to rip up lawns in an effort to
save water during an escalating drought.
Hes among several leaders of California
cities, including Los Angeles, proclaiming
commitment to water conservation and vowing to move ahead of the state in slashing
water use with initiatives including awareness programs, incentives and beefed-up
enforcement with warning letters and fines.
Last week, Gov. Jerry Brown signed an
executive order mandating water use reductions as the Sierra snowpack, Californias
key water source, vanishes. Days later, regulators released plans to enforce his order by
assigning each city a water use reduction target, some as much as 35 percent.
The governors moves are providing some
cover to local officials who may have to
implement fines for water waste and increase
water rates, politically unpalatable measures.
Mayors can say We have to do this. Not
only because its right, but we really dont
have a choice; its a mandate from the governor, said Sherry Bebitch-Jeffe, a senior
political science fellow at the University of
Southern California.

Faulconer repeatedly mentioned mandates from the capital on Wednesday as he


detailed plans to let some city parks go
brown and to fine residents. San Diego,
which already has low per-capita water use,
had little water savings to show over the
past year even after imposing a three-day a
week limit on watering lawns and a requirement to immediately fix leaks. A draft state
proposal demands a 20-percent cut in San
Diego water use compared to 2013.
Drastic water reduction at this level
ordered by Governor Jerry Brown and the
state is, of course, no easy task, Faulconer
said.
Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti
announced Thursday that the city was launching a broad water conservation campaign
that would include television and radio ads,
signs on garbage trucks and fliers passed out
at libraries. The campaign is touting existing programs, including rebates for adding
water efficient appliances and drought-tolerant landscaping.
Garcettis spokesman Yusef Robb said
the campaign was planned well before
Browns demand for mandatory water cuts
and is a continuation of the mayors own
order for a 20-percent water cut. Los
Angeles officials say the city is on track to
meet that goal by 2017, although state regulators want cities to make big cuts before
the end of the year.

A man accused of sexually assaulting and


murdering a woman on San Bruno Mountain
in 1989 pleaded not guilty in San Mateo
County Superior Court Thursday morning.
Two hikers found Shiella Lorraine Hatcher
dead in a ravine as a result of blunt force trauma to the head on the evening of March 12,
1989. The case went unsolved for nearly 25
years before it was re-opened at the familys
request in 2013, at which time DNA evidence found on Hatchers body connected
Gabriel Ray ONeill, a 45-year-old Brisbane
man, to the crime scene.
ONeill did have sexual contact with the
victim, according to defense attorney Geoff
Carr, but it was consensual.
Carr said that ONeill, his then-wife, and
two of her brothers were driving around high
on PCP before picking Hatcher up. ONeill
and Hatcher had oral sex in a restaurant bathroom before the group went to San Bruno
Mountain, according to Carr.
He admitted having sex with her orally
before the incident, but says the person that
killed her was his wifes brother, Carr said.

Carr identified the individual in question as
Richard Solis. Solis is a

who was deported in
Gabriel ONeill 2008 after being convicted for attempted rape, according to Carr.
We know Solis was one of the people
involved in the event that night, San
Mateo County District Attorney Steve

is sufficient.
We certainly understand how a claim can
be made as to where the DNA came from,
Wagstaffe said. Thats not our only evidence, thats just the evidence that ties him
to being present at the time of her death.
Carr also disclosed that ONeill has a prior
conviction for statutory rape, but is not a
registered sex offender.
ONeills case is scheduled for a jury trial

Clinton to announce
2016 bid on Sunday
By Ken Thomas and Julie Pace
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON
Hillary
Rodham Clinton will end months
of speculation and launch her
highly anticipated 2016 presidential campaign on Sunday, skipping a flashy kickoff rally in
favor of conversations with voters about the economic needs of
middle class families and the next
generation.
Clinton, the former first lady
and secretary of state who lost the
2008 nomination to Barack
Obama, will begin this time by
courting voters in living rooms
and cafes in early voting states. If
victorious in 2016, she would
become the nations first female
president.
The first official word of her
candidacy will come in a video
posted on social media and to supporters online, according to two
people familiar with her plans.
She will then turn to states such as

Iowa and New Hampshire, looking


to connect directly with voters in
small, intimate settings.
The people familiar with her
plans spoke on condition of
anonymity because they were not
authorized to discuss them publicly.
Clinton has offered glimpses in
recent speeches of why she will
again seek the White House.
Another preview came Friday in
the epilogue to the paperback version of her 2014 book, Hard
Choices.
Becoming a grandmother has
made me think deeply about the
responsibility we all share as
stewards of the world we inherit
and will one day pass on, Clinton
writes in the new chapter, according to a preview published by The
Huffington Post. Rather than
make me want to slow down, it has
spurred me to speed up.
The Sunday announcement will
mark Clintons formal return to
politics following a two-year
leave from government.

Hillary Clinton arrives to attend the early childhood development initiative talk to you baby in Brooklyn.
Kicking off her campaign with
straight-up retail politics, where
she can talk to voters one-on-one,
would be a departure from how
Clinton jumped into her first presidential campaign. In 2007,
Clinton also launched with a
video, but followed it with a large,
boisterous rally in Des Moines:
Im running for president, and

Im in it to win it.
This time, the emphasis will be
making a personal connection,
rather than touting herself.
Clinton allies say they hope the
intimate settings will let people
see a more nurturing, empathetic
side, along with her sense of
humor.
I think shes going to make

sure shes in the small venues, the


living rooms, the smaller places
where she can connect directly
with the voters, said Sylvia
Larsen, a former New Hampshire
state Senate president and a longtime Clinton supporter. When
people meet Hillary Clinton, they
are persuaded. Shes very down to
earth and very personable.

Pakistan votes
to stay out of
Yemen conflict
By Ahmed Al-Haj
and Munir Ahmed
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANAA, Yemen Pakistans


parliament voted unanimously
Friday to stay out of the Saudi-led
air campaign targeting Shiite
rebels in Yemen, offering instead
to mediate a solution, in a blow to
Saudi Arabias attempts to build a
Sunni front in an increasingly sectarian conflict.
Pakistans decision is unlikely
to greatly affect the Saudi-led
coalitions military capabilities.
But it was an embarrassment to the
kingdom from a traditionally
close ally, now reluctant to get
pulled into a conflict that is
threatening to escalate into a new
proxy war between Saudi Arabia
and Iran.
Saudi Arabia had been seeking
to expand the coalition, made up
of fellow Gulf nations as well as
Egypt and Sudan, which has waged
a nearly 3-week campaign of
airstrikes against the rebels,
known as Houthis, and is reportedly considering a ground incursion.

At the same time, Shiite powerhouse Iran, which backs the


Houthis, also lobbied Pakistan
and other Sunni nations to back a
cease-fire and a negotiated end to
the conflict.
A senior official in the United
Arab Emirates a member of the
coalition lashed out angrily at
Pakistan, accusing it of choosing
Iran over the Gulf nations at a time
when they face an existential
confrontation in the Yemen conflict.
Anwar Gargash, the UAEs minister of state for foreign affairs,
said on his Twitter account that
Pakistan should look out for its
strategic relations with Gulf
nations, pointing to the Gulfs
economic and investment help to
the South Asian nation.
Contradictory and ambiguous
positions in this existential matter will cost (Pakistan) dearly, he
wrote.
Airstrikes along with escalated
fighting on the ground between
the Houthis and supporters of

worlds poorest country, into collapse. On Friday, the U.N. and
International Committee of the
Red Cross succeeded in bringing
in the first two plane loads of aid,
delivering tons of medical and
humanitarian supplies to the capital, Sanaa, to relieve hospitals
overburdened by casualties.
Saudi Arabia and its allies,
including the United States,

accuse Iran of arming the Houthis.


The Gulf countries view the rebels
power grab as a move by Iran to
establish a stronghold on their
southern flank. Iran says it backs
the rebels politically and with
humanitarian aid but denies sending weapons. The Houthis have
full or partial control over 11 of
Yemens 22 provinces, backed by
military units loyal to ousted auto-

crat Ali Abdullah Saleh.


The current president, Abed
Rabbo Mansour Hadi, was forced
to flee the country last month,
leaving a shaky collection of
forces on the ground to fight the
Houthis including military
units still loyal to him, militiamen and Sunni tribesmen. AlQaidas Yemen branch is also
fighting the Houthis.

Stage being set for historic Obama-Castro meeting


By Jim Kuhnhenn
and Josh Lederman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PANAMA CITY President Barack


Obama and Cuban President Raul
Castro moved toward a groundbreaking
meeting on the sidelines of the
Summit of the Americas Friday in what
would be a remarkable display of reconciliation between two nations with
the leadership of the Western
Hemisphere gathered around them.
The powerful symbolism of a faceto-face exchange Saturday between the
leaders could signal progress even
though both sides are still working
through nettlesome issues that would
lead to the opening of embassies in
Washington and Havana, the first
stage in a new diplomatic relationship.
Obama cast the move to end 50 years
of hostile relations as a triumph for the
Cuban people.
As the United States begins a new
chapter in our relationship with Cuba,
we hope it will create an environment
that improves the lives of the Cuban
people, he told a meeting of civil
society groups, including Cuban dissidents. Not because it is imposed by
us, the United States, but through the
talent and ingenuity and aspirations,

and the conversations


among
Cubans from all
walks of life so they
can decide what the
best course is for
their prosperity.
The White House
was coy over the
status of the State
Raul Castro
Departments recommendation to remove Cuba from the
U.S. list of state sponsors of terror.
Removal is a top issue with Castro
because it would not only eliminate
Cubas status as a pariah, but also ease
Cubas ability to conduct simple
financial transactions.
Nevertheless, the pace of activity
over the terror list suggested that even
if Obama did not make an announcement Saturday, one would come soon.
The U.S.-Cuban outreach entered a
new, accelerated stage in recent days,
with Obama speaking with Castro by
phone Wednesday and U.S. Secretary
of State John Kerry holding a lengthy
meeting with Cuban Foreign Minister
Bruno Rodriguez late Thursday.
The Cuban foreign ministry issued a
brief account of the Kerry-Rodriguez
meeting, saying they met for nearly
three hours in a respectful and constructive atmosphere.

It was the highest-level, face-to-face


contact between officials from the two
countries since the Dec. 17 announcement that Washington and Havana
would move to restore diplomatic relations that were severed in 1961.
Even as Washington talked up the
historic shift toward Cuba, leftist leaders in Latin America took shots at the
U.S. in solidarity with Venezuela.
Barely off the plane, President
Nicolas Maduro of Venezuela laid a
wreath at a monument to victims of the
U.S. invasion of Panama in 1989. To
shouts of Maduro, stick it to the
Yankee, he vowed to personally ask
Obama to apologize to Panama and
compensate victims of what he called a
massacre that left more than 500
people dead during the invasion.
Never again a U.S. invasion in
Latin America, Maduro said.
President Evo Morales of Bolivia
said he backs Maduros drive to end
U.S. intervention in the region.
For Obama and Castro, their conversation Wednesday was the first since
they spoke Dec. 17.
The flurry of diplomacy around the
summit was recognition of the historic
nature of the new relationship intended
to end five decades of American presidents either isolating or working to
overthrow Fidel Castros government.

White House: Iran deal requires phased sanctions removal


By Jim Kuhenhenn
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PANAMA CITY The White


House pushed back Friday against
declarations from Irans leaders
that any nuclear deal must include
an immediate lifting of sanctions,
indicating President Barack
Obama will walk away from negotiations unless sanctions are
removed over time.
Obama foreign policy adviser
Ben Rhodes portrayed the tough
stance by Irans Supreme Leader
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and
President Hassan Rouhani as a
reflection of internal political
pressure and not as an impediment
to a deal. But Rhodes pointed out
the framework agreement that Iran
and the six powers reached last
week to curb Tehrans nuclear
activities allows for sanctions to
be removed over time, not at once.
Its very clear and understood
that sanctions relief will be
phased, Rhodes told reporters
traveling with Obama in Panama
for the Summit of the Americas.
The fact of the matter is, we have
framework. The president has said
if the details dont bear out, we
wont have a deal.
In his first comments on the
framework, Khamenei told a gathering of religious poets on
Thursday that he is neither for
nor against it. But he said the
punitive sanctions should be lifted completely, on the very day of
the deal. He said because the
agreement was only the framework and not the accord itself,
nothing has been done yet.
Rouhani, a relative moderate,
sent the same message during a

Dems, GOP propose 50-some amendments to nuclear bill


By Deb Riechmann

WASHINGTON A bill calling


for Congress to have a say on an
emerging nuclear agreement with
Iran has turned into a tug of war
on
Capitol
Hill,
with
Republicans trying to raise the
bar so high that a final deal might
be impossible and Democrats
aiming to give the White House

more room to negotiate with


Tehran.
Senators of both parties are
considering more than 50
amendments to a bill introduced
by Sens. Bob Corker, R-Tenn.,
and Bob Menendez, D-N.J. The
bill would restrict Obamas ability to ease sanctions against
Iran without congressional
approval.
The Senate Foreign Relations
Committee on Tuesday is to

debate the amendments and vote


on the bill, which has pitted the
White House against the GOP-led
Congress on a critical foreign
policy issue that President
Barack Obama wants etched in
his legacy. Obama administration officials, who are expected
to continue lobbying lawmakers
next week, dont want Congress
to take any action before a final
deal could be reached by the end
of June.

ceremony Thursday marking Irans


nuclear technology day, which
celebrates the countrys atomic
achievements.

We will not sign any agreement


unless all economic sanctions are
totally lifted on the first day of the
implementation of the deal,

Rouhani said.
Rhodes said Khamenei and
Rouhani had to deal with internal
politics, but that their statements

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

should not be taken as a test of


what the final deal will look like.
The deadline for a final agreement
is June 30.
They have their own hardliners
who are skeptical of this deal,
Rhodes said. The test of whether
or not that framework can be
memorialized is not a comment on
any given day by an Iranian
leader. The test will be if by the
end of June we have a document.
But Sen. John McCain, the
chairman of the Senate Armed
Services Committee said in a
statement
Thursday
that
Khameneis remarks would
appear to be a major setback and
said they suggest that that Iran and
the Obama administration are on
very different pages.
These differences need to be
thoroughly explained by the
administration if we are to give
serious consideration to this
agreement, he said.
White House press secretary
Josh Earnest pointedly countered
McCain in a Tweet Friday: Naive
and
reckless
for
(at)SenJohnMcCain to believe
every word of the Supreme
Leaders political speech. He
shouldnt.
The framework says sanctions
put in place over Irans nuclear
program will be suspended once
international monitors verify that
Tehran is abiding by the limitations spelled out in the agreement.
Rhodes said the International
Atomic Energy Agency will have
to inspect military sites.
An essential part of the deal, he
said, is having the IAEA ability
to inspect suspicious sites, no
matter where they are.

NEW YORK U.S. stocks advanced


Friday, capping off a second straight
weekly advance for the market.
Investors were encouraged by the latest corporate deal news, that General
Electric would be selling its longstruggling lending business.
Investors are turning their focus to
next week, when corporate earnings
ramp up. So far the outlook isnt
encouraging. With economic sluggishness in the U.S. and Europe, as
wells the rapid appreciation of the dollar, analysts expect first-quarter results
to be down 4.6 percent.
Earnings are not going to be down
because the U.S. economy is struggling, said James Liu, global market
strategist at JPMorgan Funds. Its
going to be because of what has happened in energy and the dollar.
Next week the nations biggest
banks will report their results, including Bank of America, JPMorgan
Chase, Wells Fargo and Goldman

percent, to 2,102.06 and the Nasdaq


composite rose 21.41 points, or 0.4
percent, to 4,995.98.
General Electric soared after the
company said it would sell most of its
lending arm, known as GE Capital, and
shift its focus back to its industrial
business.
GEs stock jumped $2.78, or 11 percent, to $28.51, making it the biggest
gainer in the Dow and the S&P 500.
GE is known for making jet engines,
light bulbs and other electronics, but a
significant part of the companys
business has been financing. GE
Capital was a huge business until the
financial crisis, when new regulations
made being non-bank company in the
lending business more difficult. GE
spun off its credit card operation into a
new company last year called
Synchrony Financial.
It was a solid week for the market
overall. The Dow and S&P 500 each
rose 1.7 percent, while the Nasdaq rose
2.2 percent. The U.S. stock market has
not had two straight weeks of gains
since mid-February.

Online excitement but no long lines for Apple Watch


By Brandon Bailey
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PALO ALTO An online rush


replaced the traditional overnight
queues outside Apple stores Friday as
the iconic tech company began taking
orders and letting shoppers get their
hands on its much-vaunted smartwatch
for the first time.
Eager customers placed online orders
for the Apple Watch as soon as Apples
website began accepting them, shortly
after midnight Pacific Time. Within
half an hour, the company appeared to
sell out the initial batch of watches that
were available for the first official day
of shipping on April 24. By midmorning, Apples website was showing the
earliest shipping date for many watch
models would be in June or later.
Demand was difficult to gauge, since
Apple hasnt said how many watches

were available for shipping in the first


wave on April 24. And in contrast with
earlier releases of new Apple products,
there were no big lines of shoppers
waiting all night outside the companys
retail stores.
Thats because Apple encouraged customers to make appointments for a 15minute opportunity to try on different
models which are priced starting at
$349 and go up to $17,000 for a luxury
edition while specially trained
employees explained their features.
Apple is only accepting orders online,
for now.
But the debut still came with some of
the anticipation and marketing sizzle
for which Apple Inc. is famous.
Apple retail staffers in New York,
Atlanta and other cities clapped and
cheered as the first customers streamed
through their stores signature glass
doors just before 10 a.m. Eager shop-

pers also examined the watch at shops


in London, Shanghai and Tokyo.
Student Victor Leung was grinning
from ear to ear after finishing his watch
appointment and placing his order for a
lower-priced sport model at the Apple

Despite Leungs enthusiasm, analysts said Apple may have good reasons

Business briefs
GE pares off financial unit
and returns to industrial roots
General Electric is leaving the lending business, a major
source of both profit and risk, as it continues to whittle its
focus down to an industrial core.
The company said Friday that it will sell most of its GE
Capital assets over the next two years, shedding businesses
in a sector where it has had a tough time generating acceptable returns. GE also plans to repurchase as much as $50 billion of its own stock.
Shares of GE climbed to their highest price in almost two
years Friday after the company announced the buybacks and
the return to a simpler focus that investors have favored.
In addition to the GE Capital sale, the company will sell
most of its GE Capital Real Estate to funds managed by the
investment firm Blackstone. Wells Fargo will buy a portion
of the loans at closing. The company plans to sell additional commercial real estate assets that will bring the total
value of the deals to around $26.5 billion.
The once broadly diverse conglomerate has been steadily
shedding businesses as it focuses more on building industrial machines like aircraft engines and medical imaging
equipment and selling big, complex products like power
generators and oil and gas equipment.

FDA panel opposes dropping


warnings from tobacco pouch
WASHINGTON Government advisers recommended
against a proposal by Swedish Match to market its smokeless tobacco pouches as less harmful than cigarettes and
other tobacco products.
The company has asked the Food and Drug Administration
for permission to remove or revise several warning labels
on the pouches, called snus. Its the first request the FDA has
considered publicly since it gained authority to regulate
tobacco products in 2009.
But a panel of FDA advisers said overwhelmingly Friday
that company data do not support relaxing warning labels
on snus.
The eight-member panel voted unanimously that the companys application does not show that snus lack the same
risks of gum diseases and tooth loss as other smokeless
tobacco products. Swedish Match has asked the FDA to drop
those warnings from its U.S. offerings, including brands
such as Longhorn, Timber Wolf and General snus.

The compensation package disclosed in a Friday regulatory filing included stock options valued at $8.1 million.
Those options could end up being worth more or less

Mills softball rolling over Ocean opponents


By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Since the Mills softball team squeaked


past Terra Nova 7-6 in the Peninsula
Athletic League Ocean Division opener
March 18, the Vikings have adjusted their
attitude.
In our league, I believe anybody can beat
anybody on any given day. (We dont want
to) underestimate anybody, said Mills
coach Dana Ynostroza. We try to play the

same from the first pitch to the last pitch.


To play 100 percent whether youre up 20 or
down 20.
Since that close call, the Vikings have
rampaged through PAL Ocean Division
play. Over their next three league games,
the Vikings have beaten their opponents by
the 10-run mercy rule.
Friday, however, was a showdown against
second-place South City. While the opponent may have changed, the outcome was
similar. After a slow start, Mills erupted for

10 runs in the third inning and went on to


post an 11-1 victory in Millbrae.
This was a big game, Ynostroza said.
This was for first place and the girls played
like it was first place. They kept the heat on
(offensively), great defense, flawless pitching.
Mills stayed undefeated in PAL Ocean play
with the win, improving to 5-0 and 9-3
overall. South City fell to 4-2 in league
play.

of all that offense. She held South City to


just one run on three hits, while the defense
behind her made only one error.
But really, the story was Mills offense
and, while the Vikings have some heavy
hitters at the top of their lineup, it was the
bottom of the order that started their 10-run
assault in the third inning.

That Hiba Salem is wrestling at all is an exceptional accomplishment. Add three Central Coast

South Citys all-time greats.
Since girls wrestling was initially recognized by the Central Coast Section in
2010, Salem has emerged as the most
dominant competitor out of the

Terra Nova has captured six overall

five different competitors
South City has won four, with
Salem accounting for three
straight dating back to 2013.
Going into CCS, winning
it for the third time, honestly
it was very sweet, Salem
said. I was very happy
because everyone around me
was happy. Winning my final

For her efforts, Salem is the

Salems tenacity on the mat
stems from how hard she fought
merely to wrestle in the first place.
Because she is Muslim, she kept her
aspirations to wrestle secret from everyone except her mother. The youngest of

know she landed a spot on the team as a freshman.
It was just a lot of freedom for someone from my

have any athletic ambitions. Settling into life in

Fill up the strike zone, good things happen. Thats precisely what Burlingame starting pitcher Alex Waldsmith did Friday night
under the lights of Washington Park.
In his first varsity start, the junior overcame a rough first inning to lead the
Panthers to a 4-2 comeback victory against
rival Capuchino. Not only did Waldsmith
keep Burlingame (4-2 in Peninsula Athletic
League Bay Division, 10-5 overall) in the
game with his arm, he produced the gamewinning swing of the bat with a two-run single in the sixth inning to break a 2-2 tie.
But it was on the mound where Waldsmith
set the tone, locking up with Capuchino ace
left-hander Joe Galea. Both pitchers were
nails to the strike zone, allowing each to
notch complete games. While Galea was
betrayed by his defense, however,
Waldsmith simply got better as the night
flew by.
Contact and three or less (pitches per atbat) is the goal, Waldsmith said.
Thats precisely what Burlingames junior
right-hander did more times than not over
the last four innings. Waldsmith didnt
allow a hit past the third inning and set
down 13 of the last 15 batters he faced. The
highlight of his turn-and-burn momentum
was through the fourth and fifth innings,
during which he recording six outs by
throwing a total of nine pitches while not
letting the ball out of the infield.
He found his rhythm, Burlingame manager Shawn Scott said. He was able to keep
the ball down, work both sides of the plate
and work all three of his pitches for
strikes.
Waldsmith was met with some early struggles as Capuchino (1-5, 9-10) knocked the

Spieth crushing the competition and course at the Masters


By Doug Ferguson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

AUGUSTA, Ga. Jordan Spieth made


Friday feel like Sunday at the Masters.
Fans rose to their feet and applauded when
Spieth walked onto the 12th tee, and for the
next two hours, ovations greeted him on tee
boxes and greens. The red number next to his
name on the leaderboard 14-under par
was better than 11 of the last 13 winners.
It was easy to forget the Masters was only
half over.

When the 21-year-old


Texan tapped in for par
and a 6-under 66, he
broke the 36-hole record
at the Masters that had
stood for 39 years. Spieth
was at 14-under 130, a
two-day total matched by
only three other players
Jordan Spieth in major championship
history.
And his five-shot lead over Charley
Hoffman looked even larger considering that
Spieth was a runner-up in his Masters debut

last year, and he came to Augusta this year as


the hottest player in golf.
I got standing ovations walking to multiple greens, Spieth said. I mean, thats
something you can only dream about. Its
Friday, too. Id like to have the same thing
happening on Sunday. Got a lot of work to
do before that happens.
Hoffman tried to keep pace with Spieth and
ran off three birdies on the back nine until
closing with a bogey for a 68. He was five
shots behind at 135, a score that would have
been leading at 36 holes in the last three
Masters. Hoffman didnt care about that.

Its this year. Its not any other year, he


said. Im just playing golf and Ive only
played 36 holes. And weve got a lot of golf
left.
Dustin Johnson opened with a double
bogey, and then became the first player in
Masters history to make three eagles in one
round. A bogey from the trees on the last
hole gave him a 67, and he was seven shots
behind, along with Justin Rose (70) and Paul
Casey (68). Phil Mickelson (68) was eight
behind.

Giants bats silent as Morrow outduels Timmy


By Bernie Wilson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN DIEGO Two games into their home


schedule, the power-laden San Diego Padres
enjoyed a sense of relief when they finally
scored a run.
Thats all it took to beat the defending
World Series champion San Francisco
Giants.
Wil Myers hit an RBI double off the rightfield wall with one out in the eighth inning
and Craig Kimbrel got his first save with the
Padres, who beat the Giants 1-0 Friday night.
The run snapped the Padres 22-inning
scoreless streak dating to Wednesday night
at Los Angeles. The Padres lost 1-0 to the
Giants in 12 innings in their home opener
on Thursday.
Myers lofted a fly ball to right and Clint
Barmes, aboard on a one-out walk off Jeremy
Affeldt (0-1), barreled around third base to
score.
The relay throw from second baseman Joe
Panik was up the third base line and Barmes
ran into catcher Hector Sanchezs arm before
he could field the ball, knocking his glove
several yards down the first-base line.
Sanchez was shaken up but stayed in the
game.

As soon as I hit it and I was running to


first base I was screaming at him, Run,
Myers said. It was good baserunning on his
part.
The Giants didnt execute that cutoff very
well, manager Bruce Bochy said.
Myers, one of several star players acquired
in the offseason, said there was a definite
sense of relief.
He cited starter Brandon Morrow going
seven innings and second baseman Jedd
Gyorko making a great play in the eighth
despite struggling at the plate.
This was a great team win, he said.
The Giants had pitched 22 consecutive
scoreless innings until the eighth.
Joaquin Benoit (2-0) pitched a perfect
eighth. Kimbrel, obtained Sunday in a
blockbuster trade with Atlanta, allowed one
hit in the ninth before inducing Angel
Pagans double-play ball to end the game. It
was the fourth double play turned by the
Padres.
Each team had only five hits.
You have to look at the type of pitching
were facing, Bochy said. Its going to be
tough in this ballpark. You have to execute
and do the little things.
Tim Lincecum, who no-hit the Padres in
both 2013 and 2014, allowed an infield sin-

gle to Cory Spangenberg with one out in the


first.
Lincecum and Morrow each threw seven
scoreless innings of four-hit ball. Morrow,
signed as a free agent in December, struck out
seven and walked three. Lincecum struck out
five and walked three.
I know they are an aggressive team
against me, Lincecum said. Ive gotten a
lot of these guys to swing at me. I just figured
keeping the ball down in the zone, kept them
off balance, mixing the ball in and out. I
dont think I leaned on any pitch more than
the other. I was just going with whatever
Sanchy put down for the most part.
Both teams played great defense. San
Diego turned four double plays and the Giants
three. After issuing consecutive walks to
open the seventh, Morrow struck out
Brandon Crawford and then got Casey
McGehee to ground into a double play.
Gyorko, whos hit into three double plays
in two games, made a great over-the-shoulder
catch of Gregor Blancos bloop into shallow
center in the eighth.

Ballpark hoops
The Padres are in the preliminary stages of
helping to plan a basketball game between
San Diego State and the University of San

Diego at Petco Park in early December. The


court would be placed between home plate
and third base. There have been two college
basketball games played on aircraft carriers
in San Diego, one in 2011 and the other in
2012.

Trainers room
Bochy said Jake Peavy is good to go for
his start Sunday. During extra innings
Thursday, Peavy sprinted to the bullpen I
didnt tell him to, Bochy said. He said, Ill
be down there if you need me. Thats Jake,
trying to help out.

Up next
Saturday nights game will feature a marquee matchup between San Franciscos
Madison Bumgarner, the MVP of the World
Series, and San Diegos James Shields (0-0,
3.00, who lost twice to Bumgarner in the
Fall Classic. Its hard to be believe its happening already, this early in the season,
Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. Its good
for baseball. Shields, then with Kansas
City, lost to Bumgarner in Games 1 and 5.
Bumgarner also threw five scoreless innings
of relief in Game 7. Shields signed with San
Diego in the offseason as part of general
manager A.J. Prellers roster revamp.

Baseball offering more mental health support to players


By Jay Cohen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO For Cubs general manager


Jed Hoyer, Josh Lifrak is just like hitting
coach John Mallee or pitching coach Chris
Bosio.
Lifrak is the director of the teams mental
skills program, while Mallee and Bosio are
two key members of Joe Maddons coaching
staff. While Hoyer looks at each of them in
a similar way, he also knows what that
means in terms of a shift in thinking when
it comes to mental health and major league
baseball.
I think that it used to be the kind of thing
that people would talk to people, they did-

nt, like, advertise it, he said. Some guys


were ashamed of it, and some people didnt
want to have any part of it. I think now its
almost impossible to find someone who
doesnt understand that your mental skills
coach is no different than a hitting coach or
a pitching coach. Hes a guy that can really
help your players get better.
Thats a shift from like, partial acceptance to like, total acceptance in a very short
amount of time.
Long gone are the days when mental
health was a taboo subject in major league
locker rooms, and the days of a lone sports
psychologist even appear to be waning.
While individual players have sought help
with the mental side of the game for years,
teams are responding to the changing atti-

tudes by offering more assistance to their


players in the area.
At least three teams the Cubs, Red Sox
and Nationals announced major changes
this year to their approach.
I think as a whole, the industry is far
more comprehensive, said Doug Harris, an
assistant general manager for the Nationals
who also serves as their vice president of
player development and pro scouting.
People are being more creative now, trying
to help their players in any way they can.
Harris played a key role in Rick Ankiel
joining the organization in January to work
with minor leaguers as a life skills coordinator. He first broached the idea with Ankiel
at a spring game last season, and the two
had a running conversation that eventually

Ankiel was one of baseballs top pitching
prospects when he broke into the majors

He restarted his career as an outfielder and

Pomeranz pitches As past Mariners 12-0


By Michael Wagaman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND At this rate, Athletics manager Bob Melvin is going to have a hard time
leaving Mark Canhas name out of the lineup, no matter the matchup.
The Oakland rookie is off to a fast start this
season and Melvin wants Canha to soak it all in.
Canha hit his first major league home run
to back a three-hit shutout by Drew Pomeranz
and two relievers, and the As beat the Seattle
Mariners 12-0 on Friday night.
Overall, Canha is hitting .500 (7 for 14)
with six RBIs.
Its pretty unbelievable for a number of
reasons, Melvin said. Hes earned his time,
no doubt. Hes swinging the bat great for us.
Canha, who came within inches of hitting a
grand slam on Wednesday, went 3 for 5. He
reached on an infield single and scored on Ben
Zobrists double in the first. His homer off
Walker in the second came on a 2-0 pitch and
landed halfway up the bleacher seats in left.
Its three games, Canha said of his start.

Oakland has outscored its opponents 30-0.
Zobrist doubled twice while Marcus
Semien added two hits, both coming in the
fourth when Oakland scored six times to
break the game open.
Pomeranz (1-0) beat out Jesse Chavez for
the fifth spot in the As rotation and showed
why in his first start of the season. He gave
up just two hits and faced only one batter
over the minimum through seven innings.
The Oakland left-hander struck out six and
didnt allow a baserunner until Austin
Jacksons single to left with one out in the
fourth. He promptly got Robinson Cano to
hit into a double play on the next pitch, then
set down the next seven Mariners.
Fernando Abad pitched the eighth while
R.J. Alvarez worked the ninth to complete
the shutout.
The As early offensive outburst helped.
Walker (0-1), who went 4-0 with a 0.67

Jordan Spieth hits from the rough on the


13th fairway during second round play of the
Masters Friday.

One score that didnt matter belonged to Ben


Crenshaw, a two-time Masters champion playing in his 44th and final competitive round on
the course. He missed the cut and in a poignant
moment, longtime Augusta caddie Carl
Jackson came onto the 18th green for a long,
warm embrace.
I feel like Ive won the tournament,
Crenshaw said.
Rory McIlroy certainly didnt feel that way.
The career Grand Slam might have to wait for
McIlroy, though he stayed alive for a green
jacket this week mathematically, anyway
by making the cut. He went out in 40 and
fell below the cut line, only to answer with a
31 on the back nine for another 71.
Even so, he was 12 shots behind at 2-under
142.
Im proud of myself the way I fought back,
McIlroy said. Im going to need four more
nines like that to have a chance, it looks like.
Jordan has played a phenomenal two rounds of
golf and doesnt look like hes going to let
up.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Tiger Woods was on the same score as


McIlroy and had a different outlook.
The four-time Masters champion made only
one bogey in his round of 69 ending a
streak of nine straight rounds at Augusta without breaking 70 and said a few putts falling
is all that has kept him from being closer.
And Im still right there, Woods said. Im
12 back, but theres not a lot of guys ahead of
me. And with 36 holes here to go, anything
can happen 96 proved that. So we have a
long way to go.
He was referring to Greg Norman losing a
six-shot lead on the final day in 1996.
Spieth might find confidence in another reference.
The three other players who had a five-shot
lead after 36 holes at Augusta Herman Keiser
in 1946, Jack Nicklaus in 1975 and Raymond
Floyd in 1976. All went on to win. Floyd previously had the 36-hole record of 131 at the
Masters in that 1976 wire-to-wire victory.
Perhaps even more valuable was Spieths
experience last year. He was tied for the lead
with Bubba Watson and two shots ahead with
11 holes to play when he fell behind and never
caught up to Watson. What he learned that day
was to be patient.
The hardest thing to do is put aside wanting
to win so bad, and just kind of going through

the motion and letting my ball striking and


putting happen, Spieth said. I got off to a
great start and had a chance to win last year on
Sunday. Id like to have that same opportunity
this year. Again, this is only the halfway point
and Im aware of that. Im going to try and stay
... very patient these last two days and understand its going to feel like a whole nother
tournament.
Much like his opening round of 64, his second round was without much stress it even
included one unlikely birdie.
Spieth hit into a bunker on the par-5 eighth
hole, so close to the lip that he could only
advance it some 30 yards and still had 235
yards left for his third shot. Spieth hit a hybrid
that caught the contours perfectly and settled 2
feet from the cup for a birdie.
Billy Horschel, playing with Spieth, was
just short in two. He went up to the green to
check the line and noticed Spieths ball next to
the flag. Walking back, he held his hands
about a yard apart as Spieth was 100 yards
away. Horschel shook his head and started
laughing.
Hes seen enough of this for two days. Hes
come to expect it. Spieth said Horschel told
him after the first round that he should get a
tape recording of Nice hole, Jordan, to play
on every tee box.

ball around the yard in the first inning. Cap
senior Tony Pellegrini is settling back into
the leadoff spot after missing three weeks
due to injury. Friday marked his third game
back in the starting lineup and he promptly
started the game with a single to center.
Pellegrini advanced to second on a balk
then scored when Ramon Enriquez belted a
double to right-center. Enriquez moved to
third base on a wild pitch and scored on an
RBI groundout off the bat of cleanup hitter
Antonio Martinucci, giving the Mustangs a
2-0 lead.
It was all the offense Cap would muster
though. Waldsmith established his stuff in
the second inning by striking out the side.
He allowed just one more hit, a third-inning
single by Galea.
Waldsmtih ultimately went the distance,
allowing two runs on four hits while striking out seven against one walk and one hit
batsman to earn the first win of his varsity
career in nine overall appearances.

Burlingame junior Alex Waldsmith settled in working on mechanics and using my legs
for his first varsity win Friday night.
helped me throw more strikes use less of

my arm. It allowed them to put the ball in


play and keep my defense in it.
Burlingames defense dazzled with its
smooth fundamentals around the infield.
Second baseman Ryan Kammuller made an
outstanding backhanded pick on a sharp
two-hopper off the bat of Martinucci to end
the third inning. In the fourth, each
Kammuller at second, Andrew Kennedy at
shortstop and Dominic Garcia at third base
made assists.
Then the Panthers offense woke up in the
bottom of the fourth.
Were pretty much all defense,
Kammuller said. Defense translates to our
hitting. If we play some good defense, well
hit better.
Galea took a one-hitter into the frame after
facing the minimum through the first three.
In the first, he surrendered a bunt single to
Burlingame leadoff hitter Griffin Intrieri, but
the fleet-footed Intrieri was gunned down
attempting a delayed steal of second base.
Intrieri bounced back to lead off the fourth
with a sharp double down the first-base line.
Kennedy followed with a loud single to
right, advancing Intrieri to third. Kammuller
followed by reaching on an infield error to
bring home Intrieri. Kammuller then stole
second, which proved pivotal on the ensuing play.
With left-handed hitting Mitchel Swanson
at the plate and one out, Burlingame
attempted a suicide squeeze. Swanson missed
the bunt, leaving Kennedy out to dry for the

second out of the inning. But as Kammuller


took off for third, the catchers throw sailed
into left field, allowing Kammuller to jog
home with the tying run.
After stranding two runners in scoring
position in the fifth, Burlingame broke
through in its final at-bat. Kammuller
sparked the rally with a one-out single to
center. Cleanup hitter Jonathan Engelmann
followed by hitting a potential double-play
grounder to short, but the throw to second
was dropped for an error, putting runners at
first and second.
Galea battled for the second out of the
inning by recording his ninth strikeout on
the night. But Waldsmith followed by jumping on a first-pitch changeup to stroke a
two-run single to center.
I was sitting fastball and he threw me a
great changeup, Waldsmith said. I was a
little out front, but luckily I got a barrel on
it and it crept through a hole.
The win marked the second straight comefrom-behind victory for Burlingame in the
weeks two-game sweep of Cap.
Our ability to come back is due to our
team speed and our base running, Scott
said. We put a lot of balls in play. We usually dont [strike] out much. But tonight
youve got to tip your cap to [Galea]. That
kid was awesome. He did not deserve the outcome that he got, unfortunately. But for the
way both of these guys pitched, I think it
was a good game for everybody.

single from the No. 9 spot in the order that


paved the way for the Vikings. Ung was the
first of six consecutive batters to reach base
as they sent 14 batters to the plate in the
third inning. Aubrie Businger got the scoring started when she blooped what turned
out to be a double into shallow center field
that drove in Ung with the first run of the
game. Cisneros followed and hit a hard
grounder to third that was bobbled by the
South City third baseman and plated Makana
Pember, who had earlier singled. Lusi
Stanley followed with an RBI double before
Gabriella Zucchiatti drove in a pair with a
triple to deep right field, giving the Vikings
a 5-0 lead.
Following an out, Katrine Ignacio reached
on a fielders choice with Zucchiatti scoring
when the Warriors tried to throw her out at
third. Instead, the ball sailed into foul territory, enabling Zucchiatti to score the sixth
run of the inning.
Following a strikeout, Ung came to the
plate for the second time in the inning. She
put a perfect bunt down the first-base line,
beat the throw and drove in Ignacio. Pember
singled her second hit of the inning,
Businger drove in Ung on a fielders choice
and Cisneros capped the uprising with a
two-run single.
The bottom of the order is really what
got the momentum going, Ynostroza said.
South City looked poised to extend the
game when it scored its run in the top of the
fourth without benefit of a hit. Emily
Cotla and Precious Tofaeono drew back-toback walks to start the inning. Following a
groundout, Jocelyne Saavedra came to the
plate and put down a sacrifice bunt. The ball
was fielded by Cisneros and, despite looking Cotla back to third before throwing to
first for the out, Cotla still broke for the

place at the CCS playoffs in the 160-pound


weight class.
Salem was first introduced to the sport by
attending her brothers matches. And she
quickly grew enamored with the excitement of
the wrestling arena. Fortunately for Salems
future aspirations in the sport, her mother
also grew to appreciate the thrill of attending
those matches.
She loved it when my brother was
wrestling, Salem said. She was always
looking forward to him going to tournaments
and stuff.
So, when Salem arrived at South City as a
freshman in 2012, the idea of joining the
team which requires parental consent
was a relatively easy sell when she asked her
mother. But the secret was kept solely
between the two of them.
Going into my freshman year, nobody
knew, Salem said. It was just me and my
mom. The problem started even before that.
(Before I was in high school) I went to a
practice with my brother. I knew I wanted to
do it, but no one would let me.
Salem wasnt an instant hit. Her freshman
year was her first season belonging to an
organized sports team. And the growing
pains were, admittedly, something fierce.
I sucked, Salem said. It was new to me. I
was still awkward. I didnt know certain
things I had to do. But the only thing that
kept me going was that I loved it and that I
wanted to do better.
Upon her return as a sophomore though,
Salem quickly made her mark in the CCS
ranks. Wrestling in the 98-pound weight
class as a sophomore, her first inclination of
being on par with varsity competitors was
taking sixth place at a tournament in Napa.
I thought if I get sixth place at a tournament like this, I must be doing something
right, Salem said.
That was just the beginnings of greatness.

plate and scored.
The Warriors chance to play past five
innings, however, was severely slim after
Mills Zucchiatti jumped on the first pitch
she saw in the bottom of the fourth and laced
a shot deep into right field. She motored
around the bases for a home run and re-established the Vikings 10-run lead.
Cisneros gave up a two-out single to
Natalya Cerecedes, her second of the game,
in the top of the fifth, but Cisneros induced
a comebacker from the next batter to end the
game.
Today, the teamwork shined, Ynostroza
said. Everyone contributing is what its all
about.

THE DAILY JOURNAL


Later that year, Salem went on to capture her
first CCS title. After moving up to the 101pound class as a junior, she embarked on a
remarkable streak of sweeping through two
years without yielding a single point to an
opponent in a CCS playoff match.
And Salems career isnt over yet. Later this
month, she will attempt to qualify for the
national championships at the March 26
regional qualifier.
She went from being a kid who fought off
her back and didnt get pinned to this fantastic little wrestler, said South City
wrestling head coach Steve Matteucci. Now
were talking about national championships.
Matteucci said he wouldnt be at South City
anymore if it wasnt for Salem. On the verge
of completing his 11th year at the helm of the
Warriors wrestling program, Matteucci had
planned to relocate to Palo Alto High as an
assistant coach after the 2014 season. But
then he made a promise to Salems mother to
stay at South City throughout Salems time
there.
The plan was to go to Palo Alto,
Matteucci said. I would have been there this
past year, but the reason I stayed was because
of the relationship I formed with Hiba.
Salem said her brother learned of her
wrestling during her underclassmen years. At
first he disapproved but has since come
around to acceptance, she said. But while
fighting through her own guilt that she was
betraying her faith as a girl taking part in the
male-dominated sport, finding inspiration to
return to the mat year after year came down to
one essential thrill.
Winning, she said. It was a crazy rush
because by my senior year, Id walk into the
room, everyone knew me and I was climbing higher and higher.
Now she holds a legacy among the all-time
greats. South City has 12 all-time individual
CCS titles; and she is the only one in program history to own three.
As a female, I look at her as probably the
best wrestler, as far as decorations, to come
out of South City, Matteucci said.

Jesus lives on
By Dominic Gialdini

n estimated 2.4 billion people


have recently commemorated (or
are just about to commemorate)
his death and the tradition of his resurrection, while another 1.6 billion accept him
as a prophet of God. It is no surprise that
Jesus of Nazareth is
regarded as one of the
most influential people
to ever live.
According to the World
Factbook, over half of
all living people (as of
2014) are Christian or
Muslim. As people of
both faiths maintain that
Jesus was, in one form or another, a spiritual leader, the sheer quantity of believers
is indicative of just how significant Jesus
is, historically and currently.
Whether he is, indeed, the Messiah or
merely the greatest con artist in history, it
goes without saying that the man who
lived 2,000 years ago has left an indelible
mark on history and forever altered its
course. Whether people wish to acknowledge it, he played a cardinal role in the formation of Western society; aspects of our
everyday lives, from the trivial to the profound, have been directly and indirectly
sculpted by his and his followers actions.
Christianity, from a global standpoint,
has had an unparalleled impact on world
affairs. From evangelization to colonization, it has been a source of power and justification, as well as a means for aiding the
unfortunate. Depending on who makes use
of the opportunity to foster its utility, the
power generated by it enables either abuse
or charity.
Christianity is integrated into even the
most ardent atheists life; commonplace
practices that most of us dont think twice
about can attest to that. Its no coincidence
that the bulk of workers (and students) have
Sundays off; while the religious undertones
of this have slowly dissipated as society
becomes increasingly secular, the original
intent to accommodate the traditional day
of rest for Christians is evident enough.
Likewise, nobody is being fooled by the
transition from the use of A.D. (anno
Domini, aka in the year of our Lord) to C.E.

Ride: Two
love stories,
old and new

Ever since The Notebook made moviegoers swoon in 2004, Nicholas


Sparks name has been synonymous with teary-eyed romance.
The authors latest novel adapted for the big screen, The Longest Ride,
is no exception, offering two love stories at once. But the most heartfelt
affair here isnt between its impossibly good-looking stars; its shared by
a couple 70 years their senior through a story told in flashbacks.
Sophia (Britt Robertson) and Luke (Scott Eastwood, son of Clint) comprise the younger pair. Shes an art-history student at North Carolinas
Wake Forest University with plans to work in a New York gallery.
Hes a competitive bull rider trying to claim the national title.

Binoche, Stewart excel in Assayas meditation on age


By Jocelyn Noveck
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Juliette Binoche and Kristen Stewart star in Clouds of Sils Maria.

The aging actress has always been a deliciously potent subject for movies, from
Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard to
Margo Channing in All About Eve and
way beyond.
Its clear why: The struggle to remain
young and vital is so universal, yet especially urgent for a movie star. Its also
because playing an aging star is such a wonderfully juicy role for well, an aging star.
Which brings us to gorgeous Juliette
Binoche, who, at 51, is hardly what wed
call aging even if she looked her age,
which she doesnt, we all know 50 is the
new 30. Still, in Clouds of Sils Maria, her

luminous, expressive face becomes an ideal


canvas for director Olivier Assayas to meditate on the interweaving forces of time, age,
identity, self-worth, art, and oh, a few other
things.
Assayas also makes excellent use of a
compelling Kristen Stewart, moving yet
further from her Twilight days (and slyly
mocking them) as a cerebral, doubt-plagued
personal assistant. Assayas completes his
intriguing actress triangle with young
Chloe Grace Moretz as an of-the-moment
Hollywood starlet who seeks more serious
acting cred.
Binoche plays Maria Enders, a 40-something French actress whos found success

What happens to Hollywoods push for diversity after Oscars?


By Sandy Cohen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES The Fast &


Furious series is often cited as an
example of how diversity can work in
Hollywood. With its multicultural
casts and international settings, the
franchise has generated more than
$2.4 billion in global earnings. The
latest installment, Furious 7, set
box-office records last weekend with
its $147-million domestic opening.
Usually, big studio tent-pole films
are all very whitewashed, says
Furious 7 director James Wan.
People need to learn from this
because this is the way of the future.
Wan says the Furious films play
well globally because they have people from that part of the world in the
movies and theyre not treated like
second-class citizens.
The dearth of diversity in
Hollywood was heavy on the entertainment industrys mind during
awards
season,
when
the
#OscarSoWhite hashtag went viral
and host Neil Patrick Harris joked
about honoring the best and whitest
sorry brightest at the Academy
Awards.
Yet despite the success of films like
Furious 7 and increased awareness of
the industrys white, male status quo,
change wont be seen onscreen anytime soon.
A survey by the Associated Press
shows that of about 170 films scheduled for release through the end of the
year, 32 feature actors of color in
prominent roles.
True, this years movies were made
before the Oscar outcry. But whether
onscreen diversity improves over time
as production catches up to new awareness remains to be seen. One things

for certain, though: Much work lies


ahead.
Studies by researchers at UCLA and
USC show vast underrepresentation of
women and minorities in every aspect
of filmmaking.
Recognizing a problem and changing it are two very different beasts,
said Cathy Schulman, the Oscar-winning producer of Crash and president of Women in Film.
In insular, high-risk, high-profit
Hollywood, change has to be insistent and intentional, said Darnell
Hunt, director of the Ralph J. Bunche
Center for African American Studies at
UCLA.
Its not going to correct itself naturally, said the sociology professor,
co-author of UCLAs annual report on
minority representation in the industry. I suspect well have more and
more dysfunction and lack of alignment of people in the industry holding
onto an approach theyve had for generations and ignoring where America
is.
His teams ongoing study of the
entertainment industry aims to quantify the relationship between diversity
and profitability. Their second annual
Hollywood diversity report, released
in February, shows that while women
and minorities are underrepresented
across entertainment relative to the
U. S. population, movies and TV
shows with diverse casts tend to perform well in ratings and at the box
office.
Theres a myth of people of color
not being viable internationally when
the rest of the world is diverse, Hunt
said.
Film and TV studio heads found
by the UCLA study to be overwhelmingly white and male usually hire
people theyve worked with before,

Furious 7 director James Wan says the Furious films play well globally because they have people from
that part of the world in the movies and theyre not treated like second-class citizens.
which reproduces the dismal ethnic
and gender ratios. A recent study by
USC and the advocacy group Women
in Film shows women have represented fewer than 5 percent of directors of
top films during the past two decades.
People of color have made incremental progress recently in some
areas of the entertainment business,
the UCLA study found. Lead roles for
non-white actors in film and TV
increased by about 1 percent in 2013
over the previous year. But even with
the success of minority-led TV series
such as The Mindy Project,
Scandal and How to Get Away With
Murder, non-white show-runners
account for less than 6 percent of all
broadcast scripted fare, the study
found.

Pixar gets emotional


with film thats been
years in the making
By Sandy Cohen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

EMERYVILLE Fear, anger, disgust, sadness and joy have taken over Pixar headquarters, and things are going great.
The Oscar-winning animation studio is
celebrating the completion of Inside Out,
a film that features each of those emotions
as personified characters controlling operations inside in a little girls head.
Sculptures, sketches, paintings and other
concept art from the film more than five
years in the making fills a gallery at the studios resort-like headquarters in Northern
California. Some 350 artists and technicians collaborated under the direction of
Pete Docter (Up, Monsters, Inc.) to
bring the imaginative adventure to life.
Inside Out tells a story of two worlds
the external, human world and the internal
landscape of the mind and how they influence one another. As 11-year-old Riley navigates the human world, including a move
from her native Minnesota to San
Francisco, her minds staff of emotions handle her internal goings-on.

Joy (Amy Poehler) was the de facto leader


of the emotion team, but when she and
Sadness (Phyllis Smith) get lost deep in the
recesses of Rileys subconscious, Fear (Bill
Hader), Anger (Lewis Black) and Disgust
(Mindy Kaling) are left in charge. Joy and
Sadness, with the help of a character named
Bing Bong, must bridge their differences to
ensure Rileys happiness and the ongoing
development of her personality heady
territory for an animated, family film.
With the project recently completed,
Docter and producer Jonas Rivera invited
reporters to Pixar to explain why Inside
Out was so time-consuming.
Animated movies typically take longer
than live action to produce because everything has to be built not only the sets and
costumes but the characters and cameras.
On this film, though, the artists had to
create entire worlds.
Inside Out started with an idea from
Docter inspired by his daughter, whod gone
from an outgoing, happy kid to a quiet,
sullen pre-teen. He imagined a story set
inside a little girls mind that explored what
went on in there.

Inside Out started with an idea from Docter inspired by his daughter, whod gone from an
outgoing, happy kid to a quiet, sullen pre-teen.
His team met with neuroscientists and
psychologists to learn some basics about
emotion, memory and mind function.
Then it was up to the story artists to develop characters based on that information,
conceptualize how they should look and act
and come up with a script. Meanwhile, production designer Ralph Eggleston was
dreaming up what the world of mind and personality might look like.
It was an intellectual idea we had to conceptualize, he said. The biggest challenge
was what is the mind?
Filming comes next, before animation,
inverting the familiar lights-camera-action
formula.

In animation, its camera, action,


lights, said director of photography
Patrick Lin.
Animators a team of 45 in the case of
Inside Out give expression and personality to the characters. It takes about a week
to produce three seconds of animation, said
directing animator Jamie Roe.
Lighting comes last, and it functions like
a cinematographer would on a live-action
film, shaping the shot and directing the eye,
said lighting artist Angela Reisch. Like animation, lighting each scene is a painstaking process, and artists can complete only a
few shots a week.
The film is set for release June 19.

Death of a Salesman remains relevant


By Judy Richter
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

After years on the road as a traveling


salesman, 60-year-old Willy Loman is
exhausted, yet he continues to dream
big, perhaps fooling only himself.
Willy (Randall King) is the title
character in Arthur Millers Pulitzer
Prize-winning American tragedy,
Death of a Salesman, presented by
San Jose Stage Company.
Willy lives in New York with his
loving wife, Linda (Lucinda Hitchcock
Cone), but his territory is in New
England, requiring lots of travel and
days away from home.
As the play opens, his two sons, 34year-old Biff (Danny Jones), and the
younger Happy (Jeffrey Brian Adams),
are visiting for some time.
Neither has successfully found himself. Biff and Willy continually clash
even though as seen in flashbacks

to the boys high school days both


Biff and Happy once adored their
father.
Willy is inspired by memories of his
older brother, Ben (Kevin Blackton),
who took chances and made a fortune.
Also playing roles in Willys life are
his neighbor and friend, Charley
(Michael Bellino); Charleys bright
son, Bernard (Joey Pisacane); and
Willys young boss, Howard Wagner
(Will Springhorn Jr.).
Although the play focuses on Willy
and his problems, it also looks closely at Biff as he tries to resolve his feelings about Willy, especially after a
shattering discovery when Biff was
still in high school.
As directed by Kenneth Kelleher,
this production features fine acting
from not only the principals but also
from secondary and minor characters.
Kudos especially to Kings Willy
and to Cones Linda, who has some of

the plays most memorable, wrenching speeches.


Aided by projections, Giulio Cesare
Perrone has designed a versatile set
enhanced by Maurice Vercouteres
lighting and Tanya Finkelsteins costumes.
However, the almost omnipresent
music and sound by Cliff Caruthers,
apparently meant to heighten the
drama, become obtrusive, as if he and
director Kelleher didnt trust the power
of Millers writing.
The two-act play runs about two
hours and 40 minutes with one intermission. Written in 1949, it raises
human concerns that are as profound
today as they were then. This production reflects that relevance.
Death of a Salesman will continue
through April 26 at San Jose Stage
Company, 490 S. First St., San Jose.

IN A WORD: RIVETING. Its been


exactly two years since a young boy went
missing. His mother thinks she sees the
kidnapper (maybe) in every man she passes and her descent into madness accelerates as she revisits and revisits and revisits every detail of the day her son vanished. This is the gripping story told by
Playwright Lauren Yee in her new work in
a word, presented by San Francisco
Playhouses Sandbox Series. Yees crisp,
inventive wordplay imbues ordinary
phrases with menace, using twists and
turns of language to make time and space
shift, keeping the audience wondering ...
what really happened on that fateful afternoon? The cast includes Jessica Bates as
the distraught mother, Cassidy Brown as
her hoping-they-can-get-on-with-theirlives husband and a marvelous Greg Ayers
playing the son and six other characters.

feeling you get when youre missing
something, of something lurking on the
edges of your periphery. In the preface to

objects have a life of their own. Objects
come up again whether you want them to
or not. Words also come up again, and

cumstances lead them to meet Ira (Alan
Alda), a widowed curmudgeon who clings to
a collection of love letters he wrote to his
late wife. It is through these letters that the
young couple, and the audience, learns
about Iras love affair with Ruth. Told
through extended, sepia-tinted flashbacks,
the young Ira (Jack Huston) and Ruth (Oona
Chaplin) share the kind of romance that
movies are made for.
It was love at first sight for the two, who
meet in the early days of World War II. By
the time hes called to serve, theyre a couple, and Ruth waits for Ira until an injury
sends him home for good. Despite years of
personal challenges, they keep their marriage intact.
The letters, and the flashback sequences
they inspire, reveal the longest ride has
nothing to do with bull-riding: Its about Ira
and Ruths lifelong love.
While ostensibly meant to illustrate the
timeless nature of romance, the richness of
this relationship makes its modern foil
seem superficial by comparison.

famous swagger. Hes believable as a bullrider, and shows enough vulnerable charm to

be a romantic leading man.
The cherubic, pillow-lipped Robertson
makes for a fine potential partner. Shes
pretty and sweet, yet headstrong and focused
when it comes to her future.
Both actors are easy on the eyes, but lack
the fireworks, and just plain fire, to be a
truly convincing onscreen romance.
The script by Craig Bolotin sets up each
couple as sacrificing for love, but Sophia
and Lukes struggle just doesnt seem as
serious. The unnecessary setting of
Sophias sorority house doesnt help: Her
sisters apparently exist only to wax euphoric about her dates looks, then disappear
from the narrative.
I want a cowboy, one says.
Both couples are filmed lovingly by
George Tillman, Jr. (Soul Food), who was
inspired by his own 25-year marriage to
helm the story. He also brings a gritty realism to the bull-riding shots, using a ridersview camera to convey the power and intensity of the animal and sport.
If only the same power and intensity
existed in Sophia and Lukes love affair.
Still, the film is likely to satisfy Sparks
fans. And it brings something new to the
romance genre: bull riding.
The Longest Ride, a 20th Century Fox
release, is rated PG-13 by the Motion
Picture Association of America for some
sexuality, partial nudity and some war and
sports action. Running time: 124 minutes.
Two and a half stars out of four.
Theyve separately met with studio heads to
talk about the disparity and how to fix it.
Hollywood is not this monolithic
beast, Hunt said. There are people in
Hollywood who are very committed to
diversity, who recognize its good business
sense or have a social responsibility to
make sure the public has their stories accurately reflected in the media.
But change is slow and profit is king.
Lets put it this way: Money talks, Wan
said. Hollywood is all about money. If
having diversity equals box-office receipts
around the world, theyll listen to it. Thats
the bottom line.

Hollywood blockbusters (much like
Binoche herself). Im tired of acting hanging from wires in front of green screens,
she tells her assistant, Valentine (Stewart).
Ive outgrown it.
All the more reason, Valentine will argue,
that Maria should accept an offer to star in a
London revival of the play and then film
__ that made her a star two decades earlier. In
Maloja Snake, named after a mystical
Alpine cloud formation that signals bad
weather, Maria once shone as the ingenue
Sigrid, whose potent charms drive her older
boss, Helena, to suicide.
But now, Marias being asked to play not
Sigrid, but Helena. She hates the character
for her weakness and desperation. Making
things worse, the actress who first played
the role ended up dying soon after in a car
accident, adding superstition to the mix.
But Maria realizes its an opportunity she
cant pass up especially with the publicity that Jo-Ann Ellis (Moretz) will generate;
a Lindsay Lohan type, shes a TMZ regular
and utter catnip to the paparazzi.

Regardless of whether a person believes in
what Christianity attributes to Jesus, it
cannot be debated that our calendar system
is connected to his life.
Plenty of holidays closely linked to
Jesus and, subsequently, Christianity have
been secularized by plenty of nonChristians. Valentines Day (named after
Saint Valentine) has become a Hallmark
holiday more about romantic love, chocolate and roses than the third-century martyr
for whom the day is named. Likewise, when
one hears the mention of St. Patricks Day,
visions of shamrocks and leprechauns, pub
crawls and parades are likely to come to
mind. The same idea holds for Easter and
Christmas, which are often celebrated secularly by non-Christians. This residue of
religion and association with Jesus has
been interwoven with modern society, and

that eerie-but-beautiful cloud formation. In
these increasingly intense scenes, the line
often seems intentionally blurred between
the two womens real-life interaction and
the roles theyre reading.
Amid all the subtext about aging, theres
also an exploration of what constitutes art.
Maria and Valentine check out Jo-Anns latest Hollywood film, watching her zap an
opponent with her superpowers, and then
share a lively debate. Theres no less truth
there than in a supposedly serious film,
Valentine insists, to which Maria simply
bursts out laughing. Assayas is purposely
playing here with Stewarts Twilight history, and Stewart seems to enjoy playing
along.
In another striking moment, were treated
to dramatic black-and-white footage of the
Maloja Snake taken in 1924 by mountaineer Arnold Fanck, contrasting with
Assayas own, stunning views from today
(all the Alps scenery is breathtaking.)
In many ways, Clouds of Sils Maria is
very similar to the mountain path that Maria
and Valentine hike one morning, hoping to
catch a peek at the ominous snaking clouds.
Its winding, and it sure takes time and
patience, and its not all that clearly
marked. But by the end, youre left with
quite a view.
Clouds of Sils Maria, a Sundance Selects
release, is rated R by the Motion Picture
Association of America for language and
brief graphic nudity. Running time: 123
minutes. Three stars out of four.
yet many of these days evoke no sense of
religiousness whatsoever for many people.
Its rather remarkable how inconspicuous
the presence of such an influence can be on
the masses.
As a nation born of rebellion against a
Christian, European government, it follows that there would be remnants of
Christianity that play into the everyday
lives of Americans. While our Founding
Fathers strived for a separation of church
and state within our government, there was
no way to curtail its influence on the populace in general. I would wager to say that
every American has been affected by Jesus;
if you are not a Christian yourself, you
have surely been affected by policy enacted, in part, due to the religious beliefs of
others.
Jesus, from beyond the grave, has succeeded in subtly engulfing the majority of
society with his influence. At least in this
respect, he has conquered death and continues to live on forever.

ELECTION
Continued from page 1
earned thousands of votes in their
respective bids for council while the
other two candidates have only had to
secure hundreds of votes to win their
council seats.
Colma
Councilwoman
Helen
Fisicaro,
63,
and
Brisbane
Councilman Cliff Lentz, 50, are the
other two candidates in the race and
neither earned more than 1,000 votes
in their last races.
In fact, Fisicaro only needed 144
votes to win her re-election bid in
2014 and Lentz, who finished third,
only needed 684 votes to win a second
term in Brisbane in 2013.
Canepa, however, earned 16, 338
votes in the 2012 presidential election
and Guingona earned 7,940 votes in
the 2014 general election. Voters turn
out in greater numbers during election
years like it will be in 2016.
Of the four candidates, Guingona has
served the public the longest after first
being elected to the council in 1993.
Fisicaro has been on the Colma City
Council since 1994 and both have
extensive experience serving on
regional boards.
Canepa was first elected in 2008 and
Lentz in 2009.
Daly City is the countys largest city
with more than 100,000 residents with
more than 50 percent being of Asian
descent with the majority of those residents being of Filipino descent,
according to U.S. census data.
Theres a high probability that

FLOWERS
Continued from page 1
there are ways you can have flowers in
the garden and yet need no water, said
Janet Oulton, a board member with the
nonprofit Coastside State Parks
Association.
The six-hour Saturday event will
provide visitors with an opportunity
to learn about local restoration projects, participate in guided walks near
the beach and even take home specimens from the State Parks Half Moon
Bay Native Plant Nursery thats typically closed to the public, Oulton said.
There will also be fun and games
galore with live music all day, a food
truck, local artists displaying their
works and an educational scavenger
hunt.
With the looming drought prompting many to abandon their landscapes,
Oulton and botanist Avis Boutell said
redoing ones home with native plants
can help people continue to conserve
while supporting the local ecosystem.

someone from Daly City is going to


represent the district, Canepa said.
Guingona, a criminal defense attorney, was the first Filipino-American
elected to the Daly City Council and
has hosted two television shows on
The Filipino Channel, including
Citizen Pinoy and Pinagmulan.
Canepa unofficially announced he
was running for the Board of
Supervisors in 2014 and Guingona
realizes he has some catching up to do.
While Canepa has raised about
$53,000 so far to spend on his campaign, the other three candidates have
raised practically nothing.
I havent raised anything yet,
Guingona said. But its a race and its
not over until its over.
Guingona lost his first bid for City
Council in 1992 but has won every
election he has been in since.
But Canepa said it wont be money
or endorsements that propel the candidates to victory but rather a grassroots
door-to-door campaign.
This is about substance and talking
to people, said Canepa, who cofounded a social media company called
Clique Factory.
Both Canepa and Guingona have
endorsed each other in their respective
bids for Daly City Council in past
years and both tout the accomplishments the city has made to approve
affordable housing projects and
improve public transportation in the
countys most populous city.
Lentz, who owns a promotional
products company, also thinks the
areas escalating rents can be tackled
by the Board of Supervisors by working with various city councils.
San Mateo County is one of the

wealthiest counties in the country but


a lot of people are struggling to get
by, Lentz said. The county provides
great services but not everyone has
access to them.
A healthy community, he said, is one
that provides affordable housing for
its residents and the transportation
they need to get to work or the hospital or the grocery store.
Fisicaro, who retired from Pacific
Gas and Electric after a 40-year career,
has sat on many regional or nonprofit
boards related to housing such as HIP
Housing.
She supports broadening HIPs
shared housing model as a way to tackle skyrocketing rents.
She also thinks the lack of affordable health care for many county residents without insurance should be a
top priority for the Board of
Supervisors.
Currently, the owners of Seton
Medical Center, Daly Citys biggest
employer, are looking to sell the property although some speculate the
Daughters of Charity may go bankrupt
before a buyer is found.
Guingona said the county should
have a backup plan in case the hospital
closes for north county residents who
would otherwise have to travel great
distances to access health care.
Canepa even suggested recently that
the county may want to purchase the
hospital although Tissier said it was an
unlikely scenario since it needs major
seismic upgrades.

As we develop and more and more of


us take over land that used to be wild
land, the insects and the birds and
things that depend on native plants
lose their habitats. But if you plant
wild plants and flowers in your yard,
the insects and birds can still use your
land, said Boutell, a volunteer at the
State Parks nursery. This is really
important. Theyre beautiful and you
can have fresh-cut flowers in your
home all year round.
For a donation, attendees can buy
various California-native flowers such
as bush lupine, sea pink, seaside daisy,
blue-eyed grass, Douglas iris, yarrow
and coastal groundcover gum plant.
While many of the plants are keen
for coastal climate, Boutell said volunteers can help people pick out species
for homes located throughout the
Peninsula.
The event runs 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
with timed events including hands-on
native plant restoration work during
which volunteers can help remove
invasive weeds from the fields and
dunes between 9 a.m. to noon and 1
p.m. to 3 p.m.
Leisurely walks along restored areas

of the park will be led by local


botanist Toni Corelli and begin 11
a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. There will also
be a pollinator playhouse, where kids
play act while learning about pollination, starting at 11:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m.
and 3:30 p.m.
The
Coastside
State
Parks
Association oversees a range of activities in San Mateo County, such as the
Coastal Wildflower Day, and works
collaboratively with State Parks to
provide vital opportunities for youth,
Oulton said.
All of the docents and volunteers,
thats their main mission. To educate
the public about preserving and learning history; whether its at Pigeon
Point or Ao Nuevo or in Half Moon
Bay, Oulton said. This is an evolution of the same thing, its teaching
the next generation.

The primary for the seat is June 7,


2016, after which the two top v ote getters will face off in the Nov. 8, 2016,
presidential election.

The Coastal Wildflower Day is 10


a.m. to 4 p.m. at Half Moon Bay State
Beach, 95 Kelly Av e., Half Moon Bay.

The San Bruno Planning Commission will meet Tuesday, April
21, 2015 at 7:00 p.m., at the Senior Center, 1555 Crystal
Springs Road, San Bruno, CA and take action on the following
items. All interested persons are invited to attend.
APN 019-043-490. Request for a Temporary Use Permit to allow off-site construction staging areas per SBMC Section
12.84.030. Recommended Environmental Determination: Categorical Exemption
1701 Earl Avenue. Request for A Temporary Use Permit to allow an off-site construction staging area within the Crestmoor
neighborhood per SBMC Section 12.84.030. Recommended
Environmental Determination: Categorical Exemption
Emergency Shelters. The Planning Commission will consider
a Resolution recommending that the City Council adopt an ordinance to allow emergency shelters as a permitted use in the
M-1 Industrial zoning district subject to location requirements
and performance standards, as required by State law. Alternatively, the Planning Commission could recommend designating
the previously proposed Transit Oriented Development (TOD)
land use district as the preferred location where emergency
shelters would be allowed.
The proposed zoning ordinance amendment is an implementation action of Program 6-D contained in the 2007-2014 Housing Element to allow emergency shelters in at least one zone
within the City. The potential environmental impacts of implementing Housing Element programs were analyzed in the Initial Study and Negative Declaration prepared for the Housing
Element. This document determined that no adverse environmental impacts would result from implementation of the programs outlined in the Housing Element, and the Negative Declaration and Housing Element were approved by the City
Council on March 23, 2010.
If you challenge the above request in court, you may be limited
to raising only those issues you or someone else raised at the
public hearing described in this notice or in written correspondence delivered to the Planning Commission at, or prior to, the
public hearing.
The public is invited to attend the hearing and comment.
Please call Mark Sullivan at (650) 616-7053 with any questions.

Itty, bitty (fake) nations


to unfurl flags, royal doodads
LOS ANGELES The largest gathering of
world leaders this side of the United Nations
is convening Saturday at a decidedly less
glamorous edifice: the Anaheim Central
Library down the street from Disneyland.
No one will be representing the United
States, Great Britain or China, but you may
catch a glimpse of the president of
Molossia, decked out in a beribboned, full-

WATER
Continued from page 1
The San Francisco Public Utilities
Commission celebrated the completion of a
$278 million upgrade of the Harry Tracy
Water Treatment Plant that included the construction of an 11-million-gallon treated
water reservoir in the San Bruno hills Friday
morning.
You wouldnt see that in Kansas, said
Dan Wade, director of the Water System
Improvement Program, as he led a tour of
the nearly 6-acre plant that delivers approximately 35 million to 45 million gallons of
water per day to customers.
Through a complex maze of pipes, filters,
tanks and pumps, the plant treats sources
including runoff and Hetch Hetchy
Reservoir water thats stored locally at the
Crystal Springs and Serra reservoirs.
As part of the SFPUCs $4.8 billion Water
System Improvement Program, the San
Bruno plant renovations could provide 140
million gallons of water a day for up to 60

spokesman, said.
Pan said he introduced the measure, Senate
Bill 277, to limit inoculation waivers after
a measles outbreak in December that started
at Disneyland and sickened more than 100
people across the U.S. and in Mexico.
It would prevent parents from sending
unvaccinated kids to school using waivers
for religious or personal beliefs.
Exemptions originally would have been
available only for children with health
problems but were recently expanded to
include homeschoolers.
The plan is early in the legislative
process, but it has high-level support.
Senate Leader Kevin de Leon, a Los Angeles
Democrat, has signed on as a co-author. If it
becomes law, California would join
Mississippi and West Virginia as the only

dress uniform that would be the envy of any


Third World dictator. There hell be hobnobbing with kings, queens, dukes and barons
from places like Slabovia, Westarctica,
Vikesland and Broslavia.
The occasion is MicroCon 2015, what
organizers say is the first North American
gathering of micronations, those itty bitty
countries that pretty much nobody but the
people who rule them believe really exist.
Its almost like a diplomatic version of a
model railroad for nerds, says Steven F.

Scharff, who has been studying the


micronation movement for decades.
Most of these faux countries print their
own stamps and mint their own money.
Some even produce sashes, swords, pendants and other royal doodads that Scharff
says rival anything coming out of
Englands royal House of Windsor. Much of
it will be on display Saturday, along with
the flags of some two dozen countries.

days within 24 hours of a major earthquake.


We all know about the San Andreas and
we know that fault could produce a very large
earthquake. In fact, the upgrades at this
plant are designed to withstand a 7.9 [magnitude] earthquake on the San Andreas,
which is expected to occur about once every
2,500 years, Wade said. But you dont
know when that 2,500 years is going to
come around so we want to be ready and
were truly in a race against time to get these
upgrades completed.
An engineering marvel, the 11-milliongallon treated water reservoir is secured by
hundreds of piers drilled up to 60 feet below
the ground and is wrapped in nearly 143
miles of cable to make it seismically resistant. Although it was a large portion of the
plants renovation, it was a secondary component of the project that started in 2011
after surveyors determined the previous
storage tank was located directly above the
lesser-known Serra Fault, Wade said.
A majority of the SFPUCs nearly 2.6 million customers receive water directly from
the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir the moment
they turn on their faucets as the state grant-

ed a filtration exemption due to the sources


purity. However, the plant is critical to
treating water thats stored in local reservoirs or derived from runoff, Wade said.
Particularly during a drought, we try to
keep reservoirs as full as possible. We want
to be sure we have water stored locally not
only in case of a drought, but also in case of
an earthquake, Wade said.
As times of drought can contribute to
algae bloom and poorer water quality, the
project installed five new filters, for a total
of 15 filters that could treat 140 million
gallons of water per day, Wade said.
Nicole Sandkulla, CEO of the Bay Area
Water Supply and Conservation Agency,
said with the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir more
than 160 miles away, water isnt something
people always pay attention to until theres
a problem.
When you talk about an earthquake,
[experts] say you should have three days
of water in your home, Sandkulla said.
But your expectation is that your large
water supplier is going to have water.
Thats what this provides, because without this improvement, we wouldnt have

been able to say that.


The plants unveiling comes six months
after the SFPUC opened the line to the new
5-mile long Bay Tunnel a $288 million
project that conveys drinking water from
the Hetch Hetchy to Crystal Springs reservoirs through the first tunnel to ever be
drilled underneath the Bay floor.
In total, the SFPUCs multi-billion dollar
improvement program includes 83 projects
across seven counties as the utility seeks to
improve aging infrastructure to support
millions of thirsty Bay Area customers.
The investment of $4.8 billion that
were making is really a testimony to our
ratepayers who demanded for us to invest in
our water system, said SFPUC General
Manager Harlan Kelly. I want to remind
you that we still have to pay for this stuff.
So when you see rates go up, we may be
talking about drought or whatever, but I just
want to point out, no matter if a little flow
comes through here or a lot of flow, we still
need this treatment facility.

states with such strict vaccine requirements.


Critics, however, have turned out in force.
Before the bills first legislative hearing
this week, hundreds of opponents attended a
rally that featured an appearance from
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has said the
number of children injured by vaccines
amounts to a holocaust. And during the
hearing, an opponent threatened to ask God
to curse legislative supporters.
Vaccination foes have focused on potential risk factors, saying shots could be
tainted or otherwise dangerous, and characterized the bill as an outrageous government
overreach. They also worry about the drugs
links to autism and other developmental
diseases, even as the medical community
says such claims have been scientifically
disproved.
Similar plans have been proposed and
have failed in other states, including
Washington and Oregon, where lawmakers
received similar pushback.
Some of it got pretty ugly, said Paige

Spence, aide to Oregon Democratic Sen.


Elizabeth Steiner Hayward. And I did my
best to shield her from seeing any of it.
Many opponents have taken a more civil
tone.
Brian Stenzler, president of the California
Chiropractic Association, has testified
against the bill and condemned the threats
against lawmakers as unacceptable. But

even though opposition leaders are focused


the merits of the legislation, there are some
things they cant control, he said.
Its kind of like a mother bear, he said.
You come near a cub, that mother will do
anything they have to do.
Right now, he added, these parents are
running on pure emotion and pure adrenaline.

Around the nation

Of the countrys 27 citizens, only five


Baugh, his wife and kids live in
Molossia. Still, the place issues its own
passports, has its own railroad, phone system, bank, post office and general store. If
you call ahead, the president himself will
take you on a tour.

Truth About Deceptive

Cremation Practices
By Paul Larson
MILLBRAE

(This was first


published in 2010,
but its currently
needed again with
updated details)
Attacks from a
number of out of
state cremation corporations have been
waged upon our local and well respected
mortuaries. By now many of you reading
this article have been targeted by the flood
of junk advertising being spread across the
Peninsula & Bay Area by these cremation
outfits that use deceptive language to spread
their misleading message. Its no secret that
societies such as the Trident-Neptune
Corporation are using scare tactics to sway
consumers when they are most vulnerable.
Their mailings, which are many times
disguised as friendly notes, use falsehoods
to imply that their business practice just
makes sense or is much less expensive
luring in unsuspecting consumers. Their
shrewdly worded letters which use
implications such as fancy and expensive
funeral home, falling victim to pressure to
overspend, spending your familys
inheritance or up-selling are crafted to
imply some sort of dishonesty. Also, an
alluring enticement to WIN is flaunted
with tempting instructions to include your
phone number & key personal data.
The truth is that these societies are no
more than wealthy competitors to your
locally owned mortuary, and their costs are
not only comparable, but many times
MORE expensive than what your local
mortuary offers. Ive had families come to
me at the Chapel of the Highlands with
stories of being seduced by certain

cremation societies with talk of lower


costs and other persuasive language. Tales
of unimpressive staff and meetings in
bunker-like facilities are common. After
comparing local mortuaries & cremation
costs it was discovered that a mortuarys
total balance can be similar or even LOWER
than these societies.
Families have
realized that it would have been much more
comforting if they had called the Chapel of
the Highlands first. Our Chapel is well
experienced and has been highly regarded
for assisting families with low cost
cremations decades before cremation-only
corporations ever existed. We are also a full
service facility offering our Chapel for
Memorial Services if desired.
My advice if you ever wish to
investigate cremation:
Do your homework and call your locally
owned mortuary first to compare costs
along with reports on good reputation;
Dont let cremation societies message
of being much less expensive or offers
to WIN fool you;
Dont turn over your phone # or personal
info to un-requested cremation solicitors;
If you must use a cremation society
find out where they are headquartered
and about any prior or active lawsuits.
Thank you for reading my rebuttal. It
bothers me that these societies are openly
using misleading language and making
blanket implications about mortuaries.
Their tactics are unwarranted and my only
desire is for the truth to be known.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funerals or 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. We will guide
you in a fair and helpful manner. You may
