New upscale hotel takes shape


South City planners approve modern hotel in Britannia Cove project
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

A modern, urban hotel design to


serve as the anchor for business development in the heart of the South San
Franciscos biotechnology sector was
given the final thumbs-up by the
Planning Commission Wednesday.
The commission voted 7-0 to unani-

mously approve the look of a unique,


European-style 185-room hotel to be
built at Oyster Point on the Bayfront
near Highway 101.
The hotel, slated to be operated by
AC Marriott, will be constructed as
part of a larger project that will bring
884,000 square feet of office space,
spread across seven buildings about
four or five stories high, 20, 000

square feet of retail space including a


restaurant and nine-story parking
structure on roughly 20 acres of property at 101 Oyster Point Blvd.
Builders have already broken ground
on the office project, and steel is
expected to be set for the buildings
this summer, in anticipation of allowing companies to begin occupying the

Amoura brings fine dining experience to restaurateurs native community
By Austin Walsh

As the battle over the proposal to demolish the


Bridgepointe Shopping Center ice rink heats up again, the
San Mateo City Council must manage community outcry
while navigating legal restrictions.
Property owner SPI Holdings turned in a third application
this month to amend the sites master plan, allow it to abandon the rink and create retail space instead.
Despite facing criticism from the public and city officials
during its last two attempts, SPI has returned with a $3 million offer and suggests diverting a recreational use elsewhere.
And that is the crux of the situation set to unfold through
a public planning process as the Planning Commission and

A South San Francisco restaurateur is


showing love for his hometown by
opening a fine dining establishment
in a community he feels has been long
starved for more ambitious eatery
options.
Bassam Shihadeh, owner of Amoura
Restaurant, said opening the new
establishment at 713 Linden Ave. has
been a unique experience, but ultimately rewarding.
Its been a challenge, opening fine
dining in an area that is used to regular
dining, he said. But the responses
have been extremely positive.

SUV crashes into garage outside Redwood City

Police reports
Whats that look like?

By Dave Brooksher

Police were contacted when a father and


daughter were seen suspiciously buying
ice cream at Burlingame Avenue and
Park Road in Burlingame before 7:32
p.m. Tuesday, March 31.

BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE

A Pacifica man crashed a car into a two-car


garage at a residence in the unincorporated
Palomar Park area outside Redwood City
Friday morning, according to the California
Highway Patrol.
The incident was reported at 9:54 a.m.
after the driver of a black Chevrolet Tahoe
traveling east in the 1300 block of
Edgewood Road crossed the opposing lane
of traffic and crashed into a detached garage,
according to CHP Officer Art Montiel.
The car went right by a couple of trees
and into a two-car garage, Montiel said.
The crash damaged roughly one-fourth of
the detached garage, including one of the
doors and part of a side wall. A car parked in
driveway was also damaged, Montiel said.
He might have been going the speed limit
but I believe speed limit is 35 in that area, so
thats still pretty fast for coming to a complete stop against a wall, Montiel said.
There was a family home at the time but
they were in the main part of the home,
according to Montiel.
Luckily there was no one in the garage
and no kids playing outside at the time,
Montiel said.

the hospital with back pain. The house had major structure damage.
The driver, a Pacifica resident, had minor
complaints of pain and was transported to a

were reported, according to Montiel.
Drugs and alcohol do not appear to be a

factor in this mornings crash but officers


are investigating the possibility the driver
may have been texting or otherwise distracted at the wheel. No arrests have been
made, according to Montiel.

California unemployment
rate drops to 6.5 percent
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO Californias jobless


rate fell to 6.5 percent in March, the lowest
its been in nearly seven years, the
California Employment Development
Department reported Friday.
California added 39, 800 jobs during
March for a gain of nearly 1.9 million jobs
since the recovery began in 2010, according to the agency. The last time the unemployment rate was this low was in May
2008.
The national unemployment rate
remained unchanged at 5.5 percent.
California saw two-tenths of a percentage point drop in its unemployment rate
fro m Feb ruary as a res ul t o f p ay ro l l
gains. It was the third consecutive drop

since the start of the year.


A survey of California businesses found
the state had 15.9 million nonfarm jobs in
March. It marks a 3.1 percent increase, or
gain of roughly 482,000 jobs, since March
of last year.
According to the agency, seven categories added jobs over the month including
the fields of construction; manufacturing;
trade, transportation and utilities; professional and business services; educational
and health services; other services; and
government.
Professional and business services posted
the largest increase of 16,900 jobs.
The overall number of people unemployed was down in March and stands at 1.2
million. However, that doesnt include the
number of Californians who have stopped

looking for work, or people working parttime who would rather be working full-time.
The Public Policy Institute of California,
a nonpartisan think tank, issued an analysis in December saying that when those
groups are factored in, the states unem-

ployment rate is likely 15.4 percent.


The state reported that there were
464,530 people receiving unemployment
benefits during March, an uptick from
426, 874 in February but lower than
510,919 during March of last year.

Disney measles outbreak that sparked vaccination debate ends


By Alicia Chang
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES An outbreak of measles


that popped up at Disneyland in late
December soon spread to six other U.S.
states, Mexico and Canada. Health officials
suspect an infected traveler, who caught the
virus overseas, visited the theme park and
exposed others.
The outbreak sickened 147 people in
the U. S. , including 131 in California. No

deaths were reported.


The California Department of Public
Health on Friday declared the outbreak over
after no new cases appeared in the last 42
days, or two incubation periods.

HOW IT STARTED
The identity of the person responsible for
spreading measles at Disney theme parks in
Southern California will likely forever
remain a mystery. Because there havent
been homegrown measles cases in the U.S.

for more than a decade, health experts


believe the virus came from abroad where the
airborne disease is still common.
The outbreak probably began with a cough
or sneeze. Measles is highly contagious and
spreads easily through the air and in closed
spaces. Infected droplets can linger for up to
two hours after the sick person leaves.

HOW IT SPREAD
Health officials said 42 people were
exposed to measles while visiting or work-

ing at Disneyland in December. More than


two dozen family members or close friends
fell ill after coming into contact with the initial cases.
Other places were hit with the virus,
including hospitals, malls, airports and
schools. About 20 percent of patients were
hospitalized.
There were cases where the source was
unknown. Because the measles strain was the
same, health officials consider them part of
the Disneyland outbreak.

Deadline approaches to participate in San Mateo County Fair


By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Whether youre perfecting a homemade


jelly recipe, freshening up on your photography skills, screen printing T-shirts or just
want to participate in a long-standing tradition, get ready to sign up and participate in
the 81st annual San Mateo County Fair.
Summer is just around the corner and the
folks organizing the week-long family event
are encouraging the public to get involved as
the deadlines are nearing to compete in a
variety of exhibits, volunteer or become a
vendor.
Our goal here is to showcase the community, said Fair Manager Matt Cranford.
From the art pieces they create and display,
all the way down to those who help bring it
together, because we probably couldnt do
half of what we do now without these volunteers.
Theres a variety of new attractions and
classic favorites that people can get
involved in during the June 6-14 fair.
Those interested in submitting works for
exhibit have until May 5 and interested

vendors must apply by May 8.


Theres the competitive exhibits department which allows people who have interest
in photography, art work, floral and garden,
culinary arts, people that make jams and jellies, pies and cakes. And our newest one is
the technology department and DIY (do it
yourself) from building ships, welding,
robotics, electronics. Then down to what
you typically think of in a county fair, which
is like youth livestock and 4-H, Cranford
said. Weve got something for pretty much
anybody out there.
Last year, nearly 6,400 entries were submitted by more than 1,500 individuals and
Cranford said hes hopeful this year will top
that.
People enjoy submitting their best works
or recipes to be judged by a variety of local
experts during a little friendly competition
where bragging rights reign supreme,
Cranford said.
Cranford said its been fun to watch people
return year after year as they work to perfect
their recipes or skills.
One of the most impressive exhibits is the
fairs annual quilt show and the art depart-

ment has greatly advanced by creating a


gallery-type locale for local makers to showcase their works, Cranford said.
The hundreds of volunteers who do everything from hand out brochures to setting up
the displays also take pride in their participation, Cranford said.
We get a couple hundred entries for photographs and we use a small army of volunteers
to help set up and put them on display,
Cranford said. A lot of them like to volunteer because they enjoy seeing other peoples skills and talents on display and theyll
come back and show off what they had a hand
in helping create. They really help create the
fair.
Volunteers typically work a four-hour shift
and receive a free ticket in exchange for their
service. Volunteers can sign up online and
pick responsibilities by a first-come, firstserved basis.
Vendors are also encouraged to apply
before the deadline and Cranford said its
been great to see a shift in whos participating.
Weve got a full spectrum. Everything
from clothing to jewelry, home and garden

items, arts and craft type items, different


kinds of food products. Weve started to get a
little more local craftsmen and local vendors
showcasing at the fair here as well, which
has been a nice change, Cranford said.
This year, the fair will boast a few exciting
new exhibits including Butterfly Adventures,
which allows attendees to feed butterflies
while learning about their migration, habitats and the variety of species. Organizers are
also bringing in a new rain forest exhibit
that will provide more hands-on educational
opportunities for children and families,
Cranford said.
Theres also no shortage of entertainment
including the addition of the performing
pirate Captn Jack Spareribs, who will be
strolling throughout the fair grounds.
Rocking tunes brought by Jefferson
Starship, Tower of Power, Grammy nominated Sheila E. as well as Rolling Stones and the
Eagles tribute bands will also perform
throughout the week.

defiance of a restraining order. While standing outside the womans drivers side window
he called her a whore and told her not to call
the police, according to prosecutors.
Smith was convicted Nov. 6, 2014, on
charges of felony assault with great bodily
injury, felony witness intimidation and
felony violation of a restraining order. The
imposition of his sentence was scheduled for
Friday morning at 8:30 a.m., but Smith was
released on his own recognizance instead.
Its an open ended release on conditions
that he has to abstain from alcohol,
Wagstaffe said. And he has to have no con-

tact whatsoever with the victim.


Smith will also be required to turn over his
passport, check in with probation officers
twice a week, wear an ankle-monitor and
remain in the state of California.
He will appear in court again May 8 at 10
a.m. to reschedule the sentencing hearing
that was supposed to take place Friday
morning. Wagstaffe added that Smith will
likely remain out of custody until that date
or longer. The delay was necessary as the
defense attorney plans to file a motion for
a new trial, according to Wagstaffe.
Smiths attorneys could not immediately

be reached for comment.


Smith is facing upwards of seven or eight
years in state prison, but his felonies do not
mandate prison time and the judge could use
his discretion to impose probation instead,
Wagstaffe said. Last December, Davis requested Smith undergo a diagnostic evaluation at
the Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation that would be used to inform
an appropriate sentence. The results of
Smiths 90-day mental evaluation were also
supposed to be released Friday, however, the
report will remain sealed until formal sentencing, Wagstaffe said.

Unprecedented germ diversity


found in remote Amazonian tribe
By Lauran Neergaard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON In a remote
part of the Venezuelan Amazon,
scientists have discovered that
members of a village isolated from
the modern world have the most
diverse colonies of bacteria ever
reported living in and on the
human body.
The microbiome the trillions
of mostly beneficial bacteria that
share our bodies plays a critical
role in maintaining health.
Fridays study raises tantalizing
questions about the microbial
diversity of our ancestors, and
whether todays Western diets and
lifestyles strip us of some bugs we
might want back.
Most surprising, this group of
Yanomami Indians harbored bacteria containing genes with the ability to resist antibiotic treatment,
even though the villagers presumably were never exposed to commercial medications.
This isolated population offers

a unique opportunity to put our
microbial past under the microscope, said lead researcher Jose
Clemente, an assistant genetics
professor at the Icahn School of
Medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital
in New York.
The results bolster a theory that
diminished microbial diversity in

Western populations is linked to


immune and metabolic diseases
allergies, asthma, diabetes that
are on the rise, said senior author
M. Gloria Dominguez-Bello of
NYU Langone Medical Center.
The challenge is to determine
which are the important bacteria
whose function we need to be

healthy, she said.


Everyone carries a customized
set of microbes that live in our
noses and mouths, on our skin and
in our intestines. This microbial
zoo starts forming at birth and
varies depending on where you
live, your diet, if you had a vaginal birth or a C-section and, of
course, antibiotic exposure.
Most of what scientists know
about the human microbiome
comes from studies of Americans,
such as the U.S. governments
Human Microbiome Project, or of
Europeans. But increasingly, scientists are attempting to compare
non-Western populations, especially those that keep traditional
lifestyles like the isolated
Yanomami.
Its a fascinating study, Dr.
Lita Proctor of the National
Institutes of Health, who wasnt
involved in the new research. The
more diverse your microbiome,
the more those microbes bring
properties to your body that you
might need.

Highway abuzz with millions
of bees after semitruck tips
LYNNWOOD, Wash. A semitruck carrying millions of honeybees overturned on a highway north
of Seattle early Friday, scattering
hives and sending white-suited beekeepers scrambling to save as
many insects as they could.
The truck had just merged onto
Interstate 5 around 3:30 a.m. when
it tipped on its side, dumping its
load of 448 hives, or about 13.7
million bees, Washington State
Patrol Trooper Travis Shearer said.
The driver, a 36-year-old man from
Idaho, was not hurt.
The company that owns the
insects, Belleville Honey and
Beekeeping Supply of Burlington,
sent beekeepers to recover as many
as possible, and bees covered their
protective suits as they worked.
The bees became more active as
the sun rose and the weather
warmed, and firefighters had to
spray a layer of foam on some of
the boxes, killing the insects for
safety. Many of the hives were still
along the highway more than seven
hours after the accident, when a
front-end loader began scooping
them up and dumping them into a
dump truck, Shearer said.

Obama on Friday decried the long

nominated in early November.

like this.
Last Saturday, Obama hit McCain

Project architects said they had

Obama open to creative negotiations on Iran sanctions


By Nedra Pickler
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON President Barack Obama


on Friday left open the door to creative
negotiations in response to Irans demand
that punishing sanctions be immediately
lifted as part of a nuclear deal, even though
the initial agreement calls for the penalties
to be removed over time.
Asked at a White House news conference
whether he would definitively rule out lifting sanctions at once as part of a final deal
aimed at keeping Iran from developing a
nuclear weapon, Obama said he didnt want
to get ahead of negotiators in how to work
through the potential sticking point. He
said his main concern is making sure that if
Iran violates an agreement, sanctions can
quickly be reinstated the so-called snap
back provision.
How sanctions are lessened, how we snap
back sanctions if theres a violation, there
are a lot of different mechanisms and ways to
do that, Obama said. He said part of the job

President Barack Obama

Irans Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali

insisted last week that they would not sign a
deal unless it lifts all sanctions on its first
day. Obama initially portrayed their comments as a reflection of internal political
pressure, while pointing out that the initial

month allows for sanctions to be phased out
once international monitors verify that
Tehran is abiding by the limitations.

Renzi, said the sanctions issue will require


some creative negotiations by John Kerry
and others.
Obama also said he would sign legislation
expected to pass the Senate and House giving Congress a say on a final deal, calling it
a reasonable compromise that addresses
his previous objections over Congress
interference.
The legislation would block Obama from
waiving congressional sanctions against
Iran for at least 30 days after any final agreement, which would give lawmakers time to
weigh in. Obama said he still has some concerns that some lawmakers are treading on
his unilateral power as president to enter
into a political agreement with another
country, but the bill has language that

makes it clear that lawmakers review will be


limited to the sanctions imposed by
Congress.
That I think this at least allows me to
interpret the legislation in such a way that it
is not sending a signal to future presidents
that each and every time theyre negotiating
a political agreement, that they have to get
a congressional authorization, Obama said.
He said he takes lawmakers who have drafted
the legislation at their word that they will
not try to derail negotiations.
Obama also weighed in on Russias
announcement earlier this week that it would
lift a five-year ban on delivery of anti-aircraft missiles, giving the Islamic republics
military a strong deterrent against any air
attack. The White House initially objected,
but Obama said, Im frankly surprised that
it held this long.
Russia signed the $800 million contract
to sell Iran the S-300 missile system in
2007, but suspended their delivery three
years later because of strong objections
from the United States and Israel. Their
economy is under strain and this was a substantial sale, Obama said.

NEW YORK Fear that Greece could


default on its debt and abandon the euro
rattled global financial markets
Friday.
News that negotiations between
Greece and its international lenders are
making little progress sent European
stock markets down sharply, and the
selling spread across the Atlantic. By
the close of U. S. trading, stocks
across industries were lower, with four
of five stocks down. Investors shifted
money into German government
bonds, a perceived haven in troubled
times.
In the U.S., disappointing first-quarter financial results from several big
companies fed the selling. After
American Express reported revenue
that fell short of expectations,
investors drove down its stock more
than 4 percent.
The day of reckoning for Greece is
fast approaching, said Uri Landesman,
president of investment fund Platinum
Partners. People thought everyone
would work it out, but if no one caves,
there wont be a deal.
For all the turmoil in the markets,
major U.S. stock indexes closed the
day with relatively modest losses. At

one point, the Dow Jones industrial


average was down 357, heading for its
worst day in six months. The Dow
regained some of those losses toward
the close of trading, ending down
279.47 to 17,826.30, a drop of 1.5
percent.
That was only the worst drop since
March 25. The Dow has struggled
since reaching a record high on March
2 and is now back where it started the
year.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
lost 23.81 points, or 1.1 percent, to
2,081.18. The Nasdaq composite fell
75. 98 points, or 1. 5 percent, to
4,931.81.
Greece and its creditors are still
struggling to find a deal that can keep
the country from defaulting on its
debt. The argument is over what
reforms Greece should make in return
for loans. Many think Greece will
struggle to make payments to the
International Monetary Fund due next
month if it fails to reach a deal.
The concerns have caused investors
to demand higher rates for loaning
money to Greeces government. The
yield on the countrys benchmark 10year bond jumped to 12.72 percent
Friday. That rate has more than doubled
from 5.51 percent in September.

Global finance leaders: Economy strengthening


By Martin Crutsinger
and Paul Wiseman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Financial officials


from the worlds major economies on
Friday welcomed modest improvements in the global economy while
side-stepping fears rattling global
financial markets that Greece will
default on its bailout loans.
The officials from the Group of 20
issued a joint communique that
pledged greater efforts to boost confidence and reduce economic vulnerabilities. The meetings chairman,
Turkeys Deputy Prime Minister Ali
Babacan, said the problems confronting Greece did not come up during

the two days of official discussions.


While Greece wasnt on the official
G-20 agenda, it was a hot topic on the
sidelines of the finance meetings,
which were to conclude Saturday after
discussions among the policy panels
of the 188-nation International
Monetary Fund and its sister lending
group, the World Bank.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew
said he stressed in a series of one-onone meetings, including discussions
with Greek Finance Minister Yanis
Varoufakis, that it was urgent that the
debt negotiations be resolved quickly.
I reiterated throughout these talks
that failure to reach an agreement
would lead to immediate hardship in
Greece and increased uncertainties for

Europe and the global economy, Lew


told reporters at a news conference late
Friday.
Greek officials said they planned to
meet representatives of the countrys
creditors Saturday in a search for common ground. The country, which has
relied on loans from the international
community since 2010, is fast running
out of cash with concerns mounting
that it could miss two debt payments
due in May to the IMF.
Fears that Greece could default on its
debt and abandon the euro currency
group sent shockwaves through global
markets Friday. After being down nearly 360 points, the Dow Jones industrial average recovered a bit to finish
down 279.47, a drop of 1.5 percent.

Google embraces mobile-friendly sites in search shake-up


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Google is about


to change the way its influential search
engine recommends websites on smartphones and tablets in a shift thats
expected to sway where millions of people shop, eat and find information.
The revised formula, scheduled to be
released Tuesday, will favor websites
that Google defines as mobile-friendly. Websites that dont fit the description will be demoted in Googles search
results on smartphones and tablets

while those meeting the criteria will be


more likely to appear at the top of the
rankings a prized position that can
translate into more visitors and money.
Although Googles new formula
wont affect searches on desktop and
laptop computers, it will have a huge
influence on how and where people
spend their money, given that more
people are relying on their smartphones
to compare products in stores and look
for restaurants. Thats why Googles
new rating system is being billed by
some search experts as Mobile-ged-

don. Some sites are going to be in for


a big surprise when they find a drastic
change in the amount of people visiting
them from mobile devices, said Itai
Sadan, CEO of website-building service
Duda.
Its probably the most significant
change that Google Inc. has ever made
to its mobile search rankings, according to Matt McGee, editor-in-chief for
Search Engine Land, a trade publication
that follows every tweak that the company makes to its closely guarded algorithms.

International fell $2.22, or 2 percent,


to $101.70 after reporting disappointing first-quarter results. The industrial
conglomerate posted earnings per
share that beat estimates, but its revenue fell short.
Advanced Micro Devices plunged 10
percent after reporting a larger loss
than investors had expected after the
market closed on Thursday. The chipmakers stock fell 29 cents to $2.58.
Investors have been bracing themselves for a disappointing earnings
season. Companies in the S&P 500 are
expected to report earnings per share
fell 2.6 percent from a year earlier,
according to S&P Capital IQ, a
research firm. That would be the first
drop since 2009.
Jim Paulsen, chief investment
strategist
at
Wells
Capital
Management, said stocks are now
somewhat expensive compared with
earnings and, along with a list of other
worries, the news from Greece on
Friday proved just too much to bear.
When you have more nervous
investors, news becomes magnified,
he said.
Worrisome news out of China also
weighed on investors. After markets
closed in Asia, Chinese financial regulators issued warnings about that countrys soaring stock market.

Barbie shows signs of
life as Mattel plots comeback
NEW YORK Things are finally looking up for Barbie.
Mattel, the toy company behind the plastic dolls, said
there were some signs of improving demand for Barbie ahead
of its planned makeover of the brand, including Barbie dolls
with different skin tones, eye colors and nose shapes to better relate to multicultural girls and their mothers.
The El Segundo, California, company also reported betterthan expected financial results for the first quarter and its
shares rose more than 5 percent on Friday.
Mattel said late Thursday that more people were buying
Barbie dolls in U.S. stores. BMO Capital Markets analyst
Gerrick Johnson said the rise was a positive development,
in a note to clients. However, Mattel said overall sales of the
brand including sales to retailers were still down 14 percent,
largely because of the stronger dollar.
Shares of Mattel Inc. rose $1.48, or 5.8 percent, to finish
at $26.75 on Friday. Its shares are down about 28 percent
over the past year.

Dont plan to line up for Apple Watch next week


SAN FRANCISCO If youre planning on buying the new
Apple Watch, dont expect to walk into a store and leave with
one next week.
Apple, which began accepting advance orders for the
watch last week, had previously said that it would be available for sale in stores on April 24. But with supplies limited,
Apples retail chief told store workers this week that the
watch will continue to be sold only online for at least the
next several weeks.
Apple stores have the watches on display, and the company is still offering in-person demonstrations for customers
who want to try different models. Apple says customers who
placed early orders will have their watches delivered starting
next Friday, although recent orders could take several weeks
to fill.

Carlmonts Joe Pratt, left, and Capuchinos Joe Galea two of


the top hurlers in the Peninsula Athletic League this season
went toe-to-toe Friday with the Scots prevailing in the pitching
duel 3-1.With the win, Carlmont maintains a share of first place in
the PAL Bay Division.

Scots muscle past Stangs


By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Quien es mas macho? Joe Galea or Joe


Pratt?
That was the question Friday with
Carlmont traveling to Capuchino, where the
two ace hurlers engaged in a splendid pitching duel.
With the Scots prevailing 3-1, however,
perhaps the best answer to the macho
question was Aaron Albaum. The senior
slugger provided one of the few authoritative swings of the bat on the afternoon,
delivering a clutch two-run triple in the
third inning to give Carlmont the lead for
good.
With the win, Carlmont (7-3 in PAL Bay,

16-5 overall) maintains a share of first


place in the Peninsula Athletic League Bay
Division, tied with Sacred Heart Prep atop
the standings with four games remaining in
league play.
And while Carlmont manager Rich Vallero
has his team gathering plenty of momentum
on a trajectory towards the playoffs, the
10th year skipper said he isnt taking anything for granted with Menlo (1-7, 4-13)
and Terra Nova (4-3, 9-8) remaining on its
schedule.
(Im) humble realize theres still a lot
of work left to be done, Vallero said.
Weve still got four league games against
two notoriously great programs. Menlo and
Terra Nova are two of the great programs on
this Peninsula for a long time. We respect

them both and we know that we have to


come to play.
Carlmonts right-hander Pratt and Caps
lefty Galea both came to play Friday. Pratt
persevered, firing four-plus innings, allowing one run on four hits to earn the win. His
record improves to 5-2.
Galea got snakebit by some shoddy
defense, yielding three runs (one earned)
through six innings of work. His record
drops to 3-2 as he grinds through his hardluck senior year. Despite his unspectacular
record, Galea leads the PAL Bay Division
with a 0.61 ERA.
Were not doing our job to back him up,
Capuchino manager Matt Wilson said.

See SCOTS, Page 15

For five innings Friday, it appeared the


Menlo School baseball team was poised to
sweep its two-game series from Burlingame
as the Knights built a 3-0 lead.
After dropping the Panthers into a firstplace tie in the Peninsula Athletic League
Bay Division with a 6-5 victory Wednesday,
the Knights were looking to knock the
Panthers out of first place altogether Friday.
The Knights scored single runs in the first,
third and fifth innings for a 3-0 lead before
the Burlingame bats came alive. The Panthers
rallied to tie the score in the bottom of the
fifth with three runs, took a 4-3 lead in the
bottom of the sixth and, after the Knights
tied the score at 4 in the top of the seventh,
the Panthers walked off with the win in bottom of the frame to post a 5-4 victory.
I felt like we were a little bit flat, said
Burlingame manager Shawn Scott. I think
my team felt like they (Menlo) snuck one by
us (Wednesday).
It was only appropriate the player who
kept Burlingame (5-3 PAL Bay, 11-6 overall) in the game was also the same player
who won it for the Panthers.
Alex Waldsmith put out a gutty performance on the mound for Burlingame. While he
had some troubles, it wasnt bad for a player
making just his second start of the year. He
threw first-pitch strikes to 19 of 32 batters
and managed to throw a complete game.
Given his lack of game time, however,
Waldsmith struggled with keeping the ball
down at times and when the ball elevated,
the Knights took advantage. Menlos first
three hits all went for extra bases two
triples and a double.
I left a lot of balls up, Waldsmith said.

Warriors settling into Warriors, Pelicans have


role as title favorite different expectations
By Antonio Gonzalez
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND A larger banner hangs on


the far end of the Golden State Warriors
practice gym reminding every player, coach
and executive of the franchises past glory.
1974-75 NBA Champions, it reads.
The Warriors have spent most of the last
40 years trying to reclaim a place among the
NBAs elite. Instead, theyve often been an
outlier, fielding teams such as Run TMC
and We Believe every so often that could
thrill crowds during the regular season but
would always finish well short in the playoffs.
Nobody sees them that way anymore.
The Warriors are in a rare position entering the playoffs as one of the favorites.
They won a franchise-record 67 games,
going an incredible 39-2 at home, and finished seven games better than East-leading
Atlanta to earn the leagues top seed.
Golden State opens its first-round series
against New Orleans on Saturday comfortable and confident in its new role, knowing

OAKLAND Golden State secured the


No. 1 overall seed two weeks ago and has
been at the top of the NBA standings all season. New Orleans needed an all-out effort
through its last game against San Antonio
to claim the Western Conferences final
playoff spot.
Expectations for both teams now are just
as stark.
The Warriors are hoping the Pelicans are a
prelude to their championship march. New
Orleans has a nothing-to-lose-and-everything-to-gain mentality in the franchises
first postseason appearance since 2011.
The best-of-seven series starts Saturday at
amped-up Oracle Arena, and the only differences that matter will be settled on the court
in front of a gold-shirt wearing sellout
crowd and a national television audience.
They dont care that we won 67 games,
Warriors center Andrew Bogut said. We
dont get an extra pat on the back before the
series starts or anything like that. We get
home court and thats about it.

The Warriors are counting on their talent, experience and playoff pedigree to power them
through what they hope
is a run that ends with a
championship parade.
They
have
MVP
favorite Stephen Curry
Andrew Bogut and fellow sweet-shooting
guard
Klay
Thompson in the backcourt. They have the
NBAs top-rated defense and highest-scoring offense. And they have the leagues
toughest home court, where 19,596 roaring
fans have rocked and rattled road teams
since well before the Warriors were good.
This is what weve been waiting for,
Curry said. Everything weve gone
through to this point will hopefully prepare
us for this journey of winning 16 games.
Golden State might be the deeper, more
talented team. But the Pelicans present
problems for anybody because of Anthony

Kansas City rallies in eighth to beat As


By Dave Skretta
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KANSAS CITY, Mo. The Royals and As


picked up right where they left off.
In their rst meeting since last
Septembers dramatic wild-card game, Paulo
Orlando delivered a go-ahead triple in the
eighth inning Friday night to help Kansas
City to a 6-4 win over Oakland in another
back-and-forth affair.
Omar Infante also drove in a pair of runs
for the Royals, whose 12-inning victory
over the Athletics last year ultimately
spurred them all the way to Game 7 of the
World Series.
Kelvin Herrera and Wade Davis (2-0) each
pitched a scoreless inning in relief of the
Royals Jeremy Guthrie, and Greg Holland
breezed through the ninth for his fourth
save.
Dan Otero (0-1) gave up both runs in the
eighth inning for Oakland.
Stephen Vogt hit a pair of solo homers,
and Ike Davis also went deep for the As,
whose team bears little resemblance to the
one that lost that playoff game at Kauffman
Stadium last year. For one thing, their designated hitter these days is Billy Butler,
who was playing for the Royals back then.

Butler went 1 for 4, extending his hitting


streak to 10 games to start the season.
The As jumped in front on Brett Lawries
sacrice bunt in the second inning, and
Kansas City pulled ahead with ve straight
two-out singles in the third.
Oakland quickly answered when Davis
homered on the rst pitch he saw in the
fourth, and Vogt tied it at 3 with his rst
homer just two pitches later.
Kansas City went in front again in the
sixth on Infantes single, but Royals manager Ned Yost elected to leave Guthrie in
rather than go to Herrera at that point. Vogt
made him pay with a drive to right for his
rst career multihomer game.
Later in the inning, Lawrie was on rst
base when Josh Reddick lined a pitch off
Herrera toward third, where Mike Moustakas
elded it. He ipped to Alcides Escobar covering second, but Lawries late slide over the
bag caused a collision that left Escobar
crumpled on the dirt.
He was helped off the eld without putting
any weight on his left leg, while Lawrie had
to be escorted by his teammates through a
horde of angry Royals and back to the
Oakland dugout.
The Royals said Escobar is day to day with
a sprained knee.

Distributing hardware
Butler received his AL championship ring
before the game. Royals C Salvador Perez,
1B Eric Hosmer and LF Alex Gordon
received their Gold Glove awards. Gordon
also received a Platinum Glove given to the
American Leagues best defensive player.

Trainers room
Athl eti cs : RHP Jarrod Parker (Tommy
John surgery) is scheduled to throw three
innings in extended spring training
Saturday. On Monday, LHP Sean Nolin
(sports hernia surgery) will throw two
innings, and RHP A.J. Grifn will throw
one inning.
Ro y al s : Escobar was replaced in the
lineup by Christian Colon, who is likely to
start at shortstop Saturday. Escobar had
started the clubs rst nine games.

Up next
Athl eti cs : RHP Jesse Hahn faces the
Royals for the rst time in his career.
Ro y al s : RHP Yordano Ventura makes his
third start of the season. He left his rst two

Collmenter has career night as D-Backs shut out Giants


By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Josh Collmenter


stayed loose and kept his legs warm on a
chilly night by running the bases, and
Arizonas starting pitcher delivered by not
only tossing a complete game but piling up
a career-high three hits.
That was a blessing in disguise tonight,
he said. Its fun when you can hit and be a
productive member of the lineup but it also
helped out on a cold night to get out there
and move around as opposed to just sitting
in the dugout.
Collmenter pitched a four-hitter for the
majors first complete game this year to go
with his big night at the plate, and the
Arizona Diamondbacks sent the World
Series champion San Francisco Giants to an
eighth straight loss with a 9-0 win Friday
night.
Jake Lamb hit a two-run triple in the third
and Collmenter (1-2) added an RBI single as
Arizona knocked Jake Peavy out of the
game after only 3 2-3 innings. Paul
Goldschmidt singled in a run for the
Diamondbacks.
A.J. Pollock matched his career high with
four hits for Arizona, including an RBI double. David Peralta doubled in a run among
his three hits and Tuffy Gosewisch added an
RBI single on a chilly Bay Area night.
The Giants eight-game skid is their
longest since June 13-22, 2007, in home
run king Barry Bonds final season. Their 39 record matches the worst start in San
Francisco history. It was their third time

being shut out, tied with


the Pirates for most in
the majors.
Collmenter struck out
two and walked one in
his second career shutout
and complete game. He
finished the 114-pitch
gem by retiring Hector
Sanchez on a broken-bat
Josh
popup.
Collmenter
Its fun when you
have stuff working like that, Collmenter
said. For me the fastball command was
huge for me and I was able to move the ball
in and out. Everything for me plays off of
that. The defense made a bunch of unbelievable plays.
The right-hander warmed up during the
final inning of Arizonas 7-6 win in 12 on
Thursday night, and if he had been used, the
D-backs likely would have called up a pitcher from Triple-A Reno to start Friday.
Collmenter is 3-0 with a 0.96 ERA in seven
appearances and three starts at AT&T Park,
with 19 straight scoreless innings. His
three hits are already half of his 2014 total.
First-year Arizona manager Chip Hale
joked about warming up Collmenter the
night before next time.
Maybe thats the new thing hes going
to do every night, Hale joked.
Arizonas 18 hits are the most it has had
against the Giants.
Hale considered batting Pollock in the
No. 3 hole and Goldschmidt cleanup, but
stuck with Pollock second followed by the
slugging first baseman. It was a good call

given the production they each delivered.


Goldys our No. 3 hitter and hell be our
No. 3 hitter, Hale said.
Goldschmidt turned an unassisted double
play to end the fourth when Brandon Belt
lined out to first and Goldschmidt then
caught Casey McGehee off the bag.
Peavy (0-2) was tagged for four runs and
eight hits in his second short outing so far,
and this time his back tightened up. He lasted just four innings in a loss at San Diego
on April 12. Peavy will be evaluated
Saturday.
The beat-up Giants are counting down to
their much-needed first off day of the season
Monday before another tough stretch of
nine in a row all against the division, starting with a three-game series at home
against the defending NL West champion
Dodgers before three games each at
Colorado and Los Angeles.
In general, these eight games, we
havent played well, manager Bruce Bochy
said. I wish we had a magic wand to fix it,
but we dont so we have no choice but to
come back and get after it tomorrow.

CSM baseball clinches Coast Golden Gate title


By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

For the first time since 2012, College of


San Mateo baseball has captured the Coast
Golden Gate Conference championship.
Entering Thursday play up 1 1/2 games
over second-place Mission, the Bulldogs
did their part by downing Chabot 6-3.
Coupled with Missions 11-5 loss to
Gavilan, CSM clinched the Golden Gate
title outright with two games remaining on
its conference schedule.
Sophomore right-hander Sam Hellinger
turned in his eighth quality start of the season and his fifth in a row working 6
2/3 innings while yielding two runs on
eight hits. His record improves to 6-0.
Brian Ransom got the final out to earn his
third save of the year.

The Bulldogs have had


to reinvent their lineup
since losing their leading
hitter, Steven Pastora.
The sophomore out of El
Camino has a .351 while
his 17 RBIs were tops on
the team when he left a
March 19 game due to
Sam Hellinger injury.
In Thursdays win,
CSM showed balance through the batting
order. Seven different Bulldogs recorded hits
while they totaled 11 as a team.
Devin Mahoney continues to be a force
both sides of the ball. While eating the
most innings out of the Bulldogs bullpen
this season, Thursday he continued wreaking havoc with the bat. The left-handed
swinging sophomore was 1 for 3 with two

RBIs as his two-run single got CSM on the board


in the first. The Bulldogs
went on to post a fourspot in the frame, capped
by Tyler Carlsons tworun knock.
Mahoney
currently
leads CSM with 23 RBIs
Devin Mahoney while ranking sixth in
the category in the Coast
Golden Gate.
The Bulldogs added single runs in the fifth
and sixth. Carlson, Dylan Isquirdo and Juan
Gonzalez tabbed two hits apiece for CSM.
As a team, the Bulldogs are hitting .282
with four active regulars owning batting
averages of .300 or above. Draco Roberts is
batting .347; Gonzalez .333; Isquirdo .301;
and Austin Lonestar .300.

But the secret to


CSMs success has been
the three Ps pitching,
pitching and pitching.
The Bulldogs currently
own a 2.76 team ERA,
tops in the Golden Gate
Conference and 11th
overall in the state.
Keone Cabinian Hellinger leads the team
with a 6-0 record and is
tops among the teams starters with a 2.13
ERA. But sophomore right-hander Keone
Cabinian has been exceptional, even if his
record doesnt show it. Cabinian is 3-3 with
a 2.67 ERA. Freshman right-hander Matt
Gorgolinski has struggled as of late and
owns just a 2-1 record, but maintains a 2.77
ERA through 11 starts.

49ers Miller missing OTAs following March arrest


By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA CLARA San Francisco 49ers


fullback Bruce Miller is not taking part in
the teams offseason program at team headquarters in the aftermath of his March arrest
on suspicion of spousal battery.
49ers general manager Trent Baalke said
Friday he met about the offseason with
Miller, who is at home in Georgia taking
care of business. The Santa Clara District
Attorneys office is still reviewing the case
and no court hearing has been scheduled.
The 27-year-old Miller, who received a
three-year contract extension in 2014, was
arrested March 5.
Bruce has not been here. As we all know,
that situations on-going, Baalke said.
They dont have to be here at this stage of

the season. We sat down


with Bruce and feel its
very important for him to
handle this situation.
Once its handled, well
move on from there.
A key run-blocker,
Miller had 18 catches for
189 yards and two touchBruce Miller downs last season for the
49ers, who went 8-8 and
missed the playoffs for the first time in four
years.
Linebacker Aldon Smith, who has dealt
with his own series of off-field issues, is
around the facility after re-working his
2015 contract.
Hes been here for everything, Baalke
said. Hungry. Hes got a great look in his
eye. Hes doing well. For anybody thats
been in a situation like Aldons been in,

every day is a process, but hes doing exceptionally well and hes probably in as good
of shape as hes been in in a long time and
starting to develop into a leader out there,
which is good to see. Been a pleasure to
watch.
While Baalke prepares San Franciscos
board for the NFL draft later this month, he
is also working on an extension for linebacker Michael Wilhoite, who hasnt
signed his exclusive rights deal. Keeping
him for the long term would fill a void after
the surprising retirements this offseason of
five-time All-Pro Patrick Willis and Chris
Borland.
Were working on something with him
as we speak, Baalke said. Hes kind of in a
unique situation. Because of the number of
the accrued seasons, he was kind of caught
in a numbers deal in terms of games played
that really forced it. This could have been a

restricted year versus an exclusive year. Hes


kind of caught up in a technicality and were
trying to help him work through that.
Three-time All-Pro NaVorro Bowman,
who didnt play at all last year following
left knee surgery from a gruesome injury in
the NFC championship game after the 2013
season, should be on the field soon along
with cornerback and last years first-round
pick, Jimmie Ward, after foot surgery.
Also back at home during this training
period is wide receiver Anquan Boldin,
though the team isnt concerned.
We feel very good about where this rosters at from the standpoint of going out and

Mayweather-Pacquiao tickets have yet to go on sale


By Tim Dahlberg
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LAS VEGAS Dont expect to snag a $1,500 nosebleed


ticket or any other ticket at the box office for the fight
between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao.
Just two weeks before the bout, tickets for the most anticipated fight in recent times have yet to go on public sale,
with the two camps and the MGM Grand locked in a standoff
over allotments. When they are finally put on sale, only a
few will be sold at the listed price.
The impasse has left fans in the dark, and ticket brokers
perplexed.
Its bizarre, normally theres a public sale 10 weeks before
the fight, said Connor Gregoire, an analyst for
Seatgeek.com. To our knowledge no one has a printed ticket in their hands right now.
Mayweathers promoter, Leonard Ellerbe, said Tuesday that
tickets would go on sale this week for the May 2 fight, but
MGM officials have been tight-lipped about their availability. The hotel issued a statement Friday saying there would be
a limited number of tickets available for sale and that it is
working with promoters to finalize a date for their release.
The fight was always going to be a tough ticket, with
announced prices of $1,500 to $7,500 in the 16,500-seat
Grand Garden arena. But those prices have already tripled in
the resale market even before tickets are available, and the
two camps and the MGM have been dickering over how many

seats and at what price level each party gets.


Pacquiaos manager, Michael Koncz, blamed the
Mayweather camp for holding up the ticket sales, saying
they have refused to sign a term sheet negotiated months earlier that specified the allotments.
Its a real mess right now, Koncz said. I can only surmise the motivation is greed and an attempt to manipulate
the tickets, otherwise why the holdup? Im more than a little
upset theyre not for sale to the public.
Millions of dollars are at stake in the dispute, because after
the MGM takes its share each camp gets a certain percentage
of tickets and is able to resell them with ticket brokers for
higher prices. The estimated gate for the tickets if they are
sold at retail prices is already a staggering $72 million, far
surpassing the previous gate record of $20 million for
Mayweathers 2013 fight with Canelo Alvarez.
Promoter Bob Arum said he has heard of people cancelling
their reservations to Las Vegas because theyre afraid they
cant get tickets.
This is not acceptable, said Arum, who promotes
Pacquiao. This is a worldwide event that the city of Las
Vegas is involved in. Its one of the craziest things Ive ever
seen.
Gregoire said the fight is one of Seatgeeks most searched
events, but that only a few dozen tickets have been sold
through the website. Those tickets are what the ticket industry calls spec tickets because the sellers dont actually have
them in hand, but expect to get them before the fight.

But he did just enough to give the Panthers a chance and, when
he came to the plate with the bases loaded with no outs in the bottom of the seventh, it was Waldsmith who came through with the
game-winning RBI. With Ryan Kammuller on third representing
the winning run, Waldsmith hit a high chopper toward short, that
Menlo shortstop Jared Lucian had to wait for to come down. That
gave Kammuller just enough time to hustle down the line and slide
safely into home to give the Panthers the win.
Glad to get the win and split the series, Waldsmith said.
If it wasnt for Mitchel Swansons hit in the bottom of the fifth,
however, Waldsmith might not have gotten the chance to win the
game two innings later.
That it was Swanson who came up with the big hit was simply
karma. His base-running gaffe in the second inning cost the
Panthers a chance to score.
Swanson redeemed himself, however, with a bases-loaded double to the gap in left-center field.
Its pretty awesome (to come up with the big hit), Swanson
said. To make a mistake early and come back and help the team
for the better (is great).
Kaleb Keelean, Burlingames No. 9 hitter, started the rally by
drawing a leadoff walk to start the fifth. Griffin Intrieri followed
with a walk of his own before Menlo pitcher Chandler Yu got the
next two Burlingame batters.
University of Michigan-bound Jonathan Engelmann was
intentionally walked to load the bases to bring up Swanson. On a
2-1 offering from Yu, Swanson inside-outed an opposite-field double to clear the bases.
This win boosts us a lot, Swanson said. We played a bad
game on Wednesday.
For a majority of the game, however, Menlo (1-7, 4-13) had
visions of a series sweep. The Knights jumped out to a quick 1-0
lead in the first inning as Jared Lucian led off the game with a
triple to left. It would have been a single, possibly a double, until
the ball took a huge hop and went over the left fielders head.
Following an out, David Farnham came to the plate and ripped
an RBI triple to the fence in the left-center gap to put the Knights
up 1-0.
The way Yu was pitching, it appeared that run might be enough.
Yu, who was saddled with the loss, threw only 38 pitches through
the first four innings.
He got his pitches down, Swanson said of Yu.
Menlo tacked on a run in the third when Lucian led off the
inning with a double. Lucian finished a home run away from hitting for the cycle. Carson Gampell followed with a single to put
runners on the corners. Farnham followed with his second RBI of
the game, an infield hit that plated Lucian.
The Knights took a 3-0 lead in the top of the fifth with Lucian,
again, leading the rally and Farnham getting the RBI. Lucian singled, took third on an error and scored on Farnhams sacrifice fly.
The top of their lineup hammered us Wednesday and again
[Friday], Scott said.
That merely set up the end-of-game dramatics.
We usually score late in games, Waldsmith said. We have a
lot of confidence in the fifth, sixth, seventh innings.
Scott, for one, would love to see his team turn on the offense a
bit earlier in games.
Accept it? Never. Ill deal with it, but never accept it, Scott
said.

TERRY BERNAL/DAILY JOURNAL

Carlmont right-hander Ryan Giberton worked


2 2/3 innings Friday to earn his fifth save.

When hes given up [two earned runs] in


the last two games, were not backing him
up. And its not OK. Were making too many
errors on defense. Thats been our story all
year.
The third inning epitomized the macho
performance of each starting pitcher.
Galea set the tone in the top of the third.
Carlmonts two-run rally began with Julian
Billot reaching on an infield error. Aaron
Pleschner followed with a perfectly executed
hit-and-run for a line-drive single to the
vacated hole at second base. Then with runners at the corners, Albaum dug out a lowbreaking curveball to rap a two-run triple to
left. The three-bagger was the first of the
year for the Scots.
We had runners on first and third, so I was
just trying to get a sac fly if anything to get
him in and get that run, Albaum said.
These (Capuchino) guys play hard, so you
have to scrap out any runs you can.
With Albaum at third and no outs, however, Galea buckled down by retiring the next
three batters in order and strand Albaum at
third. Galea went on to retire seven straight
batters, only to have the streak interrupted
by another infield error in the fifth.

Weekend April 18-19, 2015

Pratts third-inning performance was just


as gutsy though. The senior right-hander
ran into some control problems as Galea
and Ramon Enriquez reached on back-toback walks with one out. Then Pratt turned
in the most pivotal defensive play of the
game when Antonio Martinucci scorched a
line drive back to the mound. The ball
drilled Pratt in his right foot and bounded
back towards home plate. But Pratt didnt
miss a beat, pouncing like a cat to chase
down the ball and gun down Martinucci at
first.
I felt it hit my foot and then I just ran
after the ball because I was worried about
getting the out, Pratt said.
Carlmont added an unearned run in the
fifth. After Pleschner reached on the error to
break the streak of seven straight outs, he
stole second and reached third on a wild
pitch. Then cleanup hitter Alex Pennes
cashed in with an RBI single to center to
give Carlmont a 3-0 lead.
Capuchino (1-7, 9-12) was able to scratch
out a run after knocking Pratt out of the
game in the fifth. Armando Vanegas opened
the frame with a double. Facing the Scots
bullpen, Galea singled the runner to third.
Then Vanegas scored on an RBI grounder off
the bat of Enriquez that the Carlmont infield
kicked.
The Mustangs went on to mount their
biggest offensive threat of the game fifth,
loading the bases on a one-out infield sin-

15

gle by Martinucci. But then Carlmont turned


to closer Ryan Giberton, who got two outs
on four pitches a three-pitch strikeout
and a first-pitch groundout to keep the 31 lead in check.
Giberton went on to fire 2 2/3 shutout
innings punctuated by a game-ending
double play to earn his fifth save of the
season.
He gets in there and attacks, Vallero
said. He has a great closers mentality. And
weve been able to hang our hat and lean on
him a lot lately. And his numbers show it.
The Scots have a bye from PAL Bay
Division play next week. They resume
league play April 29 at Menlo.
Next up for Cap is a two-game series with
Menlo, starting Monday at Capuchino at 4
p.m.

Sacred Heart Prep 4, Sequoia 0


The Gators maintained their first-place
position in the PAL Bay Division standings
by spliting their two-game series with the
Cherokees Friday.
SHP (7-3, 12-8) got a pair of RBIs from
Sean Clark, while Schafer Kraemer drove in
a third. Will Johnston picked up the win on
the mound, pitching a complete game while
scattering nine hits.
Matt Lopez led the attack for Sequoia (64, 14-7), going 3 for 4, including a double. Tommy Lopiparo added a pair of hits
in the loss.

we play our best game and New Orleans plays their best
game, we feel like we should take care of business.
But thats the hard part. You got to be on top of your
game every single night, especially when the pressure
builds each moment throughout the playoffs. We got to be
ready.
They have been all season.
The Warriors had best shooting percentage and best
defensive shooting percentage. They dished out the most
assists, and they had an eye-popping plus-10.1 point differential; the next best team, the Los Angeles Clippers,
outscored opponents by 6.6 points.
Las Vegas believes Golden State can get it done. Bovada
set the Warriors and Cleveland as 11-5 favorites to win the
championship after the playoff bracket came out.
Curry could be the NBA MVP, Steve Kerr, the Coach of
the Year, and Draymond Green, the Defensive Player of the

SPORTS
Year when the league announces the awards over the next
few weeks. But none of those regular-season accolades will
get Golden State the Larry OBrien Trophy in mid-June.
Only 16 more wins can.
We know 67 wins doesnt mean anything going into a
seven-game series against anyone, Warriors center
Andrew Bogut said. They dont care that we won. We dont
get an extra pat on the back before the series starts or anything like that. We get homecourt and thats about it.
Kerr, who won three titles playing with Michael Jordan
in Chicago and two more under Gregg Popovich in San
Antonio, is counting on his teams talent and experience
to carry it through the tough times ahead.
The first-year coach watched the Warriors upset Denver
and push San Antonio to six games in the second round of
the 2013 playoffs before injuries wore them down. He saw
how they competed in a physical series against the
Clippers last season without Bogut, falling in the final
minute of Game 7 in Los Angeles.
Theyve felt what happens in the postseason, and they
have not shied away from it the last two years nor will they
shy away from it now, Kerr said. Its a very confident
group of guys, and we have a lot to be confident about.

draft who is on the verge of stardom if hes not there
already.
The 6-foot-10 power forward, who won a national title at
Kentucky and a gold medal with Team USA at the 2012 London
Olympics, practically carried the Pelicans into the playoffs.
He finished with 31 points, 13 rebounds, three blocks in the
clinching win over the Spurs on Wednesday night.
Pelicans coach Monty Williams expects the 22-year-old
Davis to show up the same way he has on every big stage in
his career. And Davis doesnt care that just about everybody
outside of New Orleans is picking the Pelicans to lose.
We love matchups like this, Davis said. Weve been in
this situation the whole year. Weve made it this far. Were not
looking to go home just yet.
Here are some things to watch during the series:

Davis difference
The Warriors went 3-1 against the Pelicans this season,
though Davis sat out two of Golden States wins. He was the
NBAs biggest maker this season, leading the league with a
30.89 player efficiency rating, a complicated formula that calculates a players per-minute productivity. He averaged 24.4
points, 10.2 rebounds and 2.9 blocks per game. New Orleans
will need Davis at his best.

Getting defensive
Warriors center Andrew Bogut and versatile forward
Draymond Green will spend most of the time defending Davis.
Bogut (96.8) and Green (97.2) finished second and fourth in
defensive rating, respectively, and Green is a leading candidate
for Defensive Player of the Year along with San Antonios
Kawhi Leonard. The 7-foot Bogut is among the most bruising
big men down low. Green gives up size at 6-foot-7, but hes as
crafty as it gets and an overall pest in the post.

Splash Brothers
Curry surpassed his own NBA record for most 3-pointers in
a season, finishing with 286 from beyond the arc, where he
shot 44.3 percent. Thompson ranked second in the league
with 239 3-pointers, shooting 43.9 percent from long range.
The All-Star backcourt is the key to Golden States potent
offense.

Holiday back
The Pelicans got a late-season lift with the return of point
guard Jrue Holiday, who missed 41 games with a stress reaction in his right leg. Holiday has been on a minutes restriction
since he returned last week, but he could provide a big boost
off the bench behind Tyreke Evans and Eric Gordon. Of course,
the Warriors went 2-0 against New Orleans when Holiday
played in December.

Home court
Oracle Arena has been one of the leagues toughest and loudest venues for a long time. The Warriors took that to a different level this season, going an astonishing 39-2 at home.
One loss came to Chicago in overtime and the other to the
defending champions Spurs in early November. Can the
Pelicans steal one on the Warriors home floor?

CENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y. This isnt your
grandparents baseball game.
Minor league teams from New York and
Connecticut will play an experimental game
this weekend aimed at finding ways to speed
their pace. The Long Island Ducks and
Bridgeport Bluefish will play an exhibition
game Saturday, limiting every batter to just

five pitches.
Some fans have complained baseball
games take too long.
The rules in the Atlantic League experimental game call for a batter to be called out
if he fouls off a pitch with two strikes.
Ordinarily a batter remains at the plate until
he gets a hit, makes an out, strikes out on
three pitches, is hit by a pitch or walks.
The rules also give batters a walk after
three balls, not four.
Game time is 1 p.m. Dont be late.

AMOURA
Continued from page 1
Shihadeh grew up in South San Francisco,
working for his parents who own School
House Deli at the corner of Baden and
Magnolia avenues. He graduated from the
local public schools before going to
College of San Mateo and later San
Francisco State University.
His career in the food service industry
took flight after establishing Amoura and
Deli Up cafes at San Francisco International
Airport and the Westfield Mall in San
Francisco.
But his most recent endeavor charts a different course, and involves offering a high
standard of fare to the changing demographics of his hometown.
Shihadeh has brought on Oscar Molinar
to serve as executive chef of his kitchen,
where he designs fresh Mediterranean
inspired dishes, such as smoked black cod
flatbread, grilled lamb kebabs, grilled

buildings next August.
Steve Pieters, of OTO Development, said
he believes the project will offer South San
Francisco a class of hotel the city does not
currently enjoy.
This is a step up from what is available
here now, he said. This is really going to
fill a need.
Pieters, who represents the team that will
operate the hotel, said his firm received
blessing from Genentech on the unique
character of the building, since the biotechnology company will likely drive a significant portion of the visitors to the hotel.
Under final approval, the six-story,
112,000-square-foot building will be built
with a wall of glass facing the Bay, as the

branzino with roasted garlic, olives, fennel


and preserved lemon and a variety of other
options.
Molinar cut his teeth working at restaurants in San Francisco, such as Bar Tartine
and The Coachman, and is excited to bring
his brand of classics with a twist to a new
community.
We want to up the bar as far as food goes
in the city, he said. We want to keep it
approachable. Keep it fun. Keep it fresh.
Shihadeh said no one understands better
than him the dearth of quality or creative
restaurants that South San Francisco has
suffered, but hopes that his good reputation
locally will buy him the trust of his native
community, and encourage residents to
expand their horizons.
General Manager Malcolm Brownson said
he believes the success of Amoura will
hinge on its owners long-standing stake in
the city.
He cited the failure of renowned chefs such
as Michael Minas Pisces restaurant in
Burlingame and Wolfgang Pucks Spago in
Palo Alto as examples of the necessity for
eaters to be able to relate with the identity

of those offering their food.


Brownson said he believes the community is ripe for accepting a new class of restaurant, but patrons will need to adjust to the
opportunity to walk from their homes to
enjoy fine dining.
Shihadeh agreed and said he hoped the
restaurant could capitalize on the ongoing
rejuvenation of South San Franciscos
downtown, and appeal to the workers in the
biotechnology industry looking to enjoy
local culture near their workplace.
Shihadeh has a leg up on tackling the
biotech community, since his company has
been offering catering to Genentech
through the Amoura Cafe.
He is also a member in the citys Chamber
of Commerce, and said he has long been
waiting for an opportunity to shift the culture of South San Franciscos downtown.
Weve been on the forefront of the
change, but were part of the community, so
were not imposing ourselves, he said.
Its a natural growth.
To that end, Shihadeh said hes seen a
gradual expansion of patrons visiting the
restaurant since opening in March. Some

who made an initial visit have come back


and brought friends, which indicates the
food and ambiance are worth returning for.
Brownson has also crafted a beer, wine
and cocktail menu that complements the
entrees, featuring locally inspired drinks
such as the Grand Ave., which blends rye
whiskey, Grand Marnier and maraschino
liqueur or the California Soul, mixing gin,
grand poppy, thyme, sparkling muscat and
egg whites.
Similar to the unconventional nature of
some of the drinks, Molinar said the restaurant is hoping to blend familiar ingredients
in an unusual fashion to create a unique
experience.
Shihadeh agreed, and said the positive
response hes received is indicative of the
culture shift taking place in South San
Francisco.
The city is headed in the right direction,
he said.

rest of the structure faces inward to a landscaped courtyard in the center of the project.
The complex will also feature a restaurant,
gym and meeting space.
It will be operated by AC Marriott, which
has built modern, urban hotels across the
globe.
Prior to granting their approval, commissioners praised the design of the structure.
Its definitely unique, said Alex Khalfi,
vice chair of the commission. I think its
risky, but also there is a lot of reward as
well.
Commissioner Aris Ruiz echoed those
sentiments.
I think you did a nice job on the design,
he said.
But Ruiz did express concern regarding
how the sun might reflect off of the glass
facade into the cars commuting south on
Highway 101 during twilight.
Project architects said they had taken
action to mitigate the reflection as much as

possible, considering some reflection off


the exterior of the building should be considered unavoidable.
Commissioner Dana Lujan encouraged the
project designers and developers to ensure
there is a connection between the hotel and
the nearby Bay Trail, to allow visitors and
pedestrians to enjoy some of the natural
amenities surrounding the project.
Commissioner Mark Nagales said he was
concerned about the proximity of the hotel
to the Caltrain tracks, which runs alongside
the parcel, but Pieters ensured him that there
would be sufficient fencing and protections
that would prevent visitors from getting
confused and ending up in harms way.
Much of the transportation to the site will
depend on shuttles running from San
Francisco International Airport, and commissioners encouraged the hotel operators
to make sure there are stops granting visitors the opportunity to take trips downtown
and patronize local businesses.

Ultimately though, most appreciated the


look and concept of the hotel, which is
expected to go under construction in
December.
It is a beautiful structure, said
Commissioner Mark Faria.
Later in the meeting, the board hosted a
study session discussion for a proposal to
build a Fairfield Inn and Suites hotel on a
vacant lot at 127 W. Harris Ave., east of
Highway 101.
The hotel is proposed to offer 128 rooms,
spread across six stories.
The project is plagued with a parking
issues, due to the congested nature of the
neighborhood,
and
commissioners
expressed concerns regarding how to best
mitigate the impact of the project on the
area.

Committing
to a college
By Arianna Bayangos

lass of 2015: the day that many of


us have been anxiously waiting
for, May 1 is coming up. On this
day, students commit to a four-year university and submit their SIR (Statement of
Intent to Register).
The past few weeks
leading up to May 1 can
be difficult and stressful
since many are touring
colleges across the
nation and finally narrowing it down to the
one they want to attend.
A lot of seniors have
toured colleges in their
junior year to decide whether they want to
apply to those colleges. But touring after
being admitted into that university is a
completely different experience.
When I was touring colleges, it really hit
me that one of the campuses I was walking
around in could be my home for the next
four years. While touring, students should
ask themselves questions like: Do I like
the campus? What would I be involved in
here? And most importantly, can I see
myself having a great experience here academically and socially?
Trying to figure out whether students
would like the school just by walking
around and listening to a tour guide can be
difficult. Throughout the tour and on special days for admit students, students should
try not to get so caught up in the marketing
and try to get a good idea of the school,
both the aspects that current students love
about the school and what they dont like.
Its important to realize that the whole
process has a business aspect to it and a
college education is a big investment. Like
they would any other product, prospective
students have to inspect other options and
take factors into consideration such as
price, quality and the benefits of that product.
So ask those questions that the colleges
dont bring up on the tour; talk to students
walking around the campus and ask questions to professors. These resources are

Desert Dancer, responsible

NEW YORK While


Freida Pinto doesnt see herself as a role model, the 30year-old actress understands
theres a huge responsibility
that goes with being in the
public eye. Thats why she

One of the reasons I do a
film like Desert Dancer is
that I hope it starts a global

The film is based on Iranian
dancer Afshin Ghaffarian,
who risked his life by simply
forming an underground

dance company. He eventually sought political asylum in


France.
Pinto finds it hard to believe
that people can be punished

Star Wars: Battlefront unleashed at fan convention

Star Wars: Battlefront takes place amid the conflicts of the original film trilogy.

ANAHEIM The Force isnt merely

Star Wars: Battlefront publisher
Electronic Arts and Swedish developer DICE
showcased their next-generation rendition
of the Star Wars multiplayer shooter
Friday at Star Wars Celebration, the annual
fan extravaganza celebrating the sci-fi franchise.
The new iteration of Battlefront takes
place amid the conflicts of the original film
trilogy and is scheduled for release Nov. 17
for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PCs.
Battlefront will focus on frenzied
shoot-outs between up to 40 players por-

forces. In a demonstration of the games
multiplayer mode, a team of jetpackequipped rebels were shown carving their
way through the woodsy Endor while
Stormtroopers charged at them on foot, on
speeders and within walkers, including a
hulking AT-AT war machine.
Other locales teased in game footage
included the snowy Hoth, sandy Tatooine
and gooey Sullust, a lava-spewing planet
referenced in 1983s Return of the Jedi, as
well as many Star Wars games and novels,
but rarely ever seen. Battlefront wont
solely be centered on expendable ground
troops. The game will reward sharpshooters
with the ability to embody such iconic characters as bounty hunter Boba Fett and Sith

Winner of nine Tony Awards, including Best
Musical and Best Score, The Book of
Mormon follows the journey of two young
Mormon missionaries sent from Salt Lake
City to a small village in Uganda where the
people are threatened by a vicious warlord.
The men are forced to reexamine their faith
and ultimately find themselves following
unexpected life paths. This finely wrought
satire delivers an overall sweet (if sometimes profane) message of the redemptive
power of faith and the importance of recognizing shared humanity. Book, music and
lyrics by Trey Parker, Robert Lopez and
Matt Stone. (Parker and Stone are the fourtime Emmy Award-winning creators of the
animated series South Park. Tony Awardwinner Lopez is co-creator of the long-running hit musical comedy Avenue Q.) Two

For this musical, its about faith. Its about

audience mirrors that, whether its a religious experience or just feeling entertained.

Famed French Laundry restaurant opens kitchen in odd place


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

YOUNTVILLE A restaurant that has


twice been named the best in the world is
now using shipping containers as a
kitchen.
The French Laundrys head chef and owner
Thomas Keller wanted to find a way to keep
the place open while his futuristic new
kitchen was being built, and his architectural team suggested the shipping containers.
The temporary setup with a sprawling

window to watch chefs at work opened last


week.
The containers are in sharp contrast to the
restaurant that was built as a saloon in 1900
from river rock and timbers. The building
was later a home, and during the 1920s it
operated as a French steam laundry.
Keller, who took over the restaurant in
the mid-90s, said his unfinished new
kitchen was inspired by the renovation at
Paris Louvre museum, which blended old

and new architecture.


Using shipping containers for shops and
eateries isnt entirely new, but its gaining
popularity.
Last month, the Yard at Mission Rock
near the San Francisco Giants ballpark
opened with more than a dozen containers,
where beer and goods are sold.
The Proxy in San Francisco, a collection
of activities and outposts, opened in 2011.
The French Laundry was in 2003 and 2004

named the best restaurant in the world by


Restaurant Magazine.
A 9-course meal goes for $295 and wine
sells for $3,250 to $7,950 a bottle. The
famed restaurant is known for twice daily
serving nine-course tasting menus, none of
which uses the same ingredient more than
once.
Michelin Guide San Francisco has six
times awarded The French Laundry their
highest rating of three stars.

Pi nto : The relevance to making this film
to what is happening today is something
that I did not expect. ... I think the one
thing that I took away from it was immense
gratitude for the fact that I dont have to go
through it every day. I dont have to think
twice before I decide to do some kind of
movement, or the clothes I choose to wear.

important and pivotal to get me to this
stage where I was actually comfortable with
putting myself on camera.

Pi nto : I think protest is part of everybodys life. Whether it is on a political
level, a social everyday level or on an eco-

nomic level. The fact that women in our


industry are fighting for equal pay is also a
form of protest. I feel its very representative of wanting to move to the next level.
And in order to do that, you have to stand up
against something.
AP: Thi s ti me y o u pl ay an Irani an.
Pi nto : Every time I pick a character that
is not my ethnicity, which everybody
knows Im Indian, theyre probably expecting me to play the Indian, but I dont want
to do that. Because when I wake up in the
morning, the first word in my head does not
pop up Indian. I feel Im a girl, Im a woman
who belongs to this world, and if I can
physically fit into some characters, I want
to play them all.

the marketing of the film. We did not know
this film was going to get banned. As much

as it saddened us, it got more people to


watch the film.

Pi nto : I think what it did was start the
conversation. ... This is no longer just an
India problem, this is a global problem, a

really hope that Indias Daughter can be

Pi nto : The lynching was, in my opinion, very sad, because thats not what the
film was trying to do. ... Theres so much
that needs to be done and there are so many
amazing groups and organizations that are
coming together to do it. So find the right
way of doing it and do it as civilized as possible. In this sense, I sound very Gandhi,

The action will also take to the skies with
players engaging in dogfights with TIE
Fighters, X-wings and the Millennium
Falcon, though the developers were coy
about how battles would alternate between
ground and air combat.
We wanted it to feel authentic to this universe, said Battlefront executive producer
Patrick Bach. You can get into these vehicles, from speeder bikes to X-wings, TIE
fighters, AT-STs, AT-ATs. Theres a wide

range of vehicles that we wanted to realize.


The difficulty with a game is that they need
to be balanced with the troops on the
ground.
Battlefront will also include a free downloadable level available two weeks before
Star Wars: The Force Awakens opens in
theaters Dec. 18. Its set on Jakku, the battle-scarred desert planet glimpsed in Force
Awakens teasers. The expansion, dubbed
Battle of Jakku, will explore the moment
following Return of the Jedi when the New
Republic confronted Imperial holdouts on

the previously unseen Outer Rim enclave.


You never get to see it in the new movie,
so it was this brilliant opportunity to recreate the Battle of Jakku, which you only see
the remnants of in the movie, said Bach.
In the game, you actually get to play the
Battle of Jakku. Its the same place from the
new movie but 30 years earlier.
The original Battlefront was released in
2005 by publisher LucasArts and developer
Pandemic Studios. It dispensed with traditional Star Wars storytelling in favor of
shoot-em-up action.

is helpful to see important factors in a college experience for that student and which
college fulfills most (if not all) of those
needs and wants.
While making these decisions, teenagers
have to make a decision not just based on
the 17- or 18-year-old they are right now,
but also the person who they could be and
want to be in the future. Students will

change drastically within a span of four

ICE RINK

Viable shopping center


SPI says theres sales tax revenue to
be gained should more retail space be
permitted and the city has retained an
economic consultant to help it determine the actual value of the rink.
When the latest proposal was submitted at the beginning of April,
Dennis Wong of SPI described the
companys vision as keeping the
shopping center viable while increasing city revenue. In the process, we
would be able to better serve the citys
recreational needs through a significant contribution to benefit facilities
and programs citywide. We believe
this to be a win-win for all the parties, Wong said in a press release just
after the proposal was submitted.
With the site having hosted an ice
rink off and on for more than 20 years
since it was formerly part of Fashion
Island shopping center, a group of
activists have mobilized into a group
named Save the Bridgepointe Ice Rink
and are urging city officials to keep the
amenity.
Although the council has discretion
to deny SPIs request, it cant force the
owner to operate the rink and ultimately the site hasnt hosted eager skaters
for nearly two years.
While members of the Save the
Bridgepointe Ice Rink fear the council
will be bought by a multi-million dollar lump sum, officials contend
theyre keeping the community in
mind and must work within legal
parameters.
I understand the sense of loss that
many people feel about the closure of
this unique recreational facility in San

right thing, Artzt said.

Citys best interests

Continued from page 1


the City Council weigh the offer while
the ice rink remains vacant. While the
master plan requires a recreational
amenity on site, it does not require it
be an ice rink now shuttered and
without an operator. Ultimately, City
Attorney Shawn Mason said its up to
the council to accept or reject the offer.
The council has a great deal of discretion in terms of saying yes or saying no, so long as theres a legitimate
government reason. Theyre really
guided by whats in the best interest of
the community, Mason said.
Mayor Maureen Freschet said its a
tricky situation and, while following
the city attorneys legal advice, hopes
theres ways to avoid a battle.
The other unspoken option is to do
nothing, a standoff that would have
the site remain vacant, possibly for an
extended period while either both parties pursue costly litigation and both
the property owner and the city forfeit
the revenue that would otherwise be
generated by some productive use,
Freschet wrote in an email.

Weekend April 18-19, 2015

Mateo, Freschet said. Im also


extremely disappointed that previous
efforts to retain or replace the rink
failed, and I share the frustration that
the spirit of the law doesnt align with
the letter of the law in this situation.
Some say the city agreed to the redevelopment of Bridgepointe just east of
the intersection of Highway 101 and
State Route 92 because the ice rink
would remain.
Technically, SPI could propose a different recreational amenity that would
need Planning Commission approval,
but only the City Council can approve
SPIs request to demolish the rink,
Mason said.

Community concern
Regardless of what the communitys
ideal may be, Mason said just because
SPI is currently forbidden to redevelop
the property, the master plan doesnt
compel them to put ice on the floor,
open the doors and let people come in
and skate.
After the Planning Commission
rebuked SPI during a pre-application
study session last year, the developers
informally exchanged emails with city
staff suggesting they maintain a sheet
of ice while still creating more retail
space.
Deputy Mayor Jack Matthews said
hes disappointed and isnt sure $3
million is worth the owners abandoning the rink.
Im kind of frustrated by it, because
I understood that SPI was going to
build an ice rink then theyve withdrawn that from their proposal. So I
think thats unfortunate and I dont
know what would be a suitable substitute for it, Matthews said.
Dina Artzt and Julie McAuliffe, members of the Save the Bridgepointe Ice
Rink group, said theyve already
received more than 10,000 signatures
on their petition. McAuliffe estimates
it would cost between $10 million and
$15 million to construct a new rink,
not counting the cost of land.
If San Mateo allows this ice rink
to be bought out for $3 million,
theres no way theyre ever going to
be able to replace this rink. And the
decision will rest in the hands of the
City Council and everyone is watching them and hoping they will do the

Councilman Joe Goethals acknowledged the scrutiny and said hes committed to the citys best interests.
I wish I could snap my fingers and
open up an ice rink somewhere in San
Mateo. And I think the city has really
made efforts to do that because theres
obviously a skating community who
love to skate and theres not enough
ice rinks around, Goethals said. Its
going to come down to a difficult vote
and to me, my vote has to go with
whatever is going to be best for kids in
San Mateo.
Mason said the citys economic consultant will help inform the councils
evaluation of the rink and officials
cannot insist on a certain dollar
amount as SPI retains the ability to
change its offer or walk away.
Mason said he hasnt heard any
threats of lawsuits and is confident the
councils decision to deny or approve
SPIs request would holdup against a
legal challenge by either SPI or the
Save the Bridgepointe Ice Rink group.
Councilman David Lim said hes disheartened to hear members of the public accuse the council as apt for a bribe
but, as a policy maker, he must await
passing judgment until he hears all
sides and the matter comes before the
council.
Im looking forward to a very full
and robust hearing, Lim said. I
expect everyone to come and make
their voices heard and I encourage
that.

Next steps
In the meantime, staff is continuing
to review SPIs proposal which
includes an economic analysis of what
they think the ice rink is worth and
explains their desires to keep the
shopping center profitable and beneficial for the city. The application will
first go before the Planning
Commission for a hearing and then to
the City Council for a vote.
Needless to say, this is an extremely difficult and challenging situation
for everyone concerned. Emotions run
deep among the proponents of keeping the ice skating rink, and they
understandably want their elected leaders to find a way to save the facility. I
can only give them my personal assurance that every possible option will
be thoroughly explored, negotiated
and weighed with the best interests of
all of San Mateo as the driver of whatever the ultimate outcome is, Freschet
said. While this is a potentially contentious issue, I am confident that the
advocates for the various points of
view will not let it become a divisive
one for our community.

Iraqi officials believe that


Saddams top deputy killed
By Qassim Abdul-Zahra
and Vivian Salama
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGHDAD He was the last member of


Saddam Husseins inner circle still on the
run, depicted with his distinctive red moustache as the king of clubs on the U.S. militarys deck of cards of most-wanted Iraqi
regime fugitives.
Now, officials say they believe government forces killed Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri
near Tikrit, where the former deputy to
Saddam was working alongside Islamic
State militants.
Reports of al-Douris death came Friday as
Iraqi forces tried to push back Islamic State
group fighters in Salahuddin province,
where Tikrit is located. Government troops
took back several towns near Iraqs largest
oil refinery at Beiji, officials said.
Farther north, a car bomb exploded next
to the U.S. Consulate in the city of Irbil, a
rare attack in the capital of the Kurdish
autonomous zone that killed three people
and wounded five, police said. U.S. officials
said no Americans were hurt and no casualties among consulate personnel or guards.
An Associated Press reporter at the scene
said the blast went off outside a cafe next to
the building in the Ankawa neighborhood,
setting several nearby cars on fire. Shortly
afterward, the Islamic State group claimed
responsibility, according to the SITE
Intelligence Group, which tracks militant
websites.
The report of al-Douris death was not the
first time Iraqi officials have claimed to
have killed or captured the 72-year-old former aide to Saddam.
According to Raed al-Jabouri, the governor of Salahuddin province, al-Douri was

Pope considering Cuba stop
during U.S. trip but no decision
VATICAN CITY Pope Francis is considering adding a stop in Cuba to his U.S. trip
in September but no decision has been made, the
Vatican said Friday.
Francis has been credited with having helped the
United States and Cuba
reach their historic rapprochement by writing to
the leaders of both counPope Francis tries and having the
Vatican host their delegations for the final negotiations.
The Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico
Lombardi, said Francis is considering the
idea of a Cuba leg but that discussions with
Cuba are at an early stage. He said its too
early to say that a decision has been taken or
that there is an operational plan underway.
The possibility of a Cuban stop was first
reported by the Wall Street Journal.

Report says China building


airstrip on reclaimed island
REUTERS

Iraqs vice-chairman of the Revolution Command Council, Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, salutes during
a celebration at the Unknown Soldier Monument on Army Day in Baghdad, Iraq.
killed by Iraqi troops and Shiite militiamen
in an operation in the Talal Hamreen mountains east of Tikrit, Saddams hometown,
which was retaken from the Islamic State
group earlier this month.
Troops opened fire at a convoy carrying
al-Douri and nine bodyguards, killing all of
them, Gen. Haider al-Basri, a senior commander, told state TV.
The government issues several photos
showing a body purported to be al-Douri.
The body had a bright red beard, perhaps
dyed, and a ginger-colored moustache. AlDouri was a fair-skinned redhead with a ginger moustache, making him distinctive

among the members of Saddams inner circle.


Karim al-Nouri, a spokesman for the
Popular Mobilization Forces, said the body
was brought Friday night to Baghdad for
DNA tests, which should be completed within 48 hours.
Col. Pat Ryder, spokesman for U. S.
Central Command, said the U.S. had no
information to corroborate the reported
death of al-Douri.
In 2013, the Iraqi government said it
arrested al-Douri, circulating a photo of a
bearded man who resembled him. It later
said it was a case of mistaken identity.

BEIJING China is building an airstrip


on an artificially created island in a disputed
section of the South China Sea, according to
independent analysts, a move the U.S. has
warned could raise tensions in the area.
Defense group IHS Janes said satellite
images of Fiery Cross Reef taken March 23
show a runway more than 500 meters (about
550 yards) long as well as paved sections of
apron. The U.S. says China is carrying out
eight such land reclamation projects in the
area. Janes said the island is already big
enough for a runway 3,000 meters (9,500
feet) long that would be able to accommodate air force planes. China already operates
a runway on Woody Island to the west of
Fiery Cross Reef, which is also claimed by
Vietnam, the Philippines and Taiwan, and
another island it is creating could also be
big enough to accommodate a runway.

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
