Local home prices keep rising


Average county home price hits $1.6M, experts say no indication of slowing
By Austin Walsh

As the weather heats up over the


coming months, local real estate
professionals are getting ready for
a hot summer as the market continues to sizzle throughout San
Mateo County.

Average sales prices for homes


throughout the county climbed to
$1.6 million at the end of April,
nearly $100, 000 higher than
they were at the beginning of the
year and nearly $200,000 more
than they were a year before,
according to data from the San
Mateo County Association of

The median value of local home
sales drove upwards as well, to
roughly $1.2 million at the end of
April, a $200,000 hike from the
median sales price one year ago,
according to the report.
And as many families prepare to

TRENTON, N.J. Born to an electrical engineer, and later a precocious
and dashing young man who attained
an Ivy League education, John Nash
seemed destined for a life of stunning
success. That he achieved, winning a
Nobel Prize in 1994, but not without a
struggle with mental illness that
would make him a household name
even more so than his achievements
in mathematics.
Nash had read the classic Men of
Mathematics by E.T. Bell by the time
he was in high school. He planned to follow in his fathers footsteps and studied
for three years at the Carnegie Institute
of Technology in Pittsburgh now
Carnegie Mellon University but
instead followed his passion for math.
He then went to Princeton, where he
worked on his equilibrium theory and,
in 1950, received his doctorate with a
dissertation on non-cooperative
games. The thesis contained the definition and properties of what would
later be called the Nash equilibrium.
But it was while teaching at the
Massachusetts
Institute
of
Technology in 1959, when his wife,
Alicia, was pregnant with their son,
that schizophrenia began to emerge, a
yearslong fight that was chronicled in
the Academy Award-winning blockbuster A Beautiful Mind. The Nashes

DA: Hes a bad man


Suspected Gypsy Hill killer in prison most of life
By Paul Elias and Jeff Barnard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Less than 24 hours


after a jury convicted Rodney Halbower of
raping a Nevada blackjack dealer, he was
freed pending an appeal and then, authorities say, drove 200 miles to the San
Francisco Bay Area and
raped and stabbed to
death a 19-year-old
woman.
The teen was one of six
young, female victims of
the so-called Gypsy Hill
Killer, who terrorized
Northern California and
Reno, Nevada, during
Rodney
four months in 1976.
The killings stopped
Halbower
abruptly as soon as they
started and remained a mystery for almost
40 years. Then DNA taken from cigarette
butts saved from the scene of a 1976 killing
led authorities to Halbowers prison cell in
Oregon last year.
Halbower was moved to San Mateo
County jail in Redwood City in January,
when he was formally charged with two of
the Gypsy Hill killings. Hes a suspect in
the other four killings, which were all committed while Halbower worked his way
through the Nevada legal system.
Halbower, 66, has not entered a plea.

Mental exams
Two psychiatrists are scheduled to appear
at a hearing Thursday to discuss the results
of a court-ordered mental exam to determine
whether Halbower is mentally fit to stand
trial.
Its not the first mental exam on
Halbower, who has spent most of the last 50

Timeline
1948: Halbower born June 27 in Wisconsin. Moves with family to Muskegon,
Michigan, a few years later.
1964 Sent briefly to adult prison in
Michigan after violating terms of juvenile
court probation for stealing a car.
1965 Convicted of breaking and entering in Michigan and sentenced to five years
in prison.
1970 Convicted of robbery, sentenced
to four years in prison.
1970 Escapes from Michigan prison, fathers a daughter.
1975 Paroled from Michigan prison,
heads to Nevada.
December 1975 Arrested for the rape
of Reno blackjack dealer. Free on bail pending trial.
January-April 1976 Five young women
in Northern California and a woman in
Reno, Nevada, are raped and murdered. Police suspect a serial killer.
May 1976 Sentenced to life in prison in
Nevada for the rape of a Reno blackjack
dealer the year before.
June 1977 Escapes from Carson City,
Nevada, prison.
July 1977 Arrested for kidnapping of
his 7-year-old daughter in Muskegon.
Michigan authorities drop charges in exchange for his return to Nevada to serve
rest of rape sentence.
December 1986 He and another inmate escape again from Nevada state
prison in Carson City. Halbower steals car,
drives to Jackson, Oregon, where he rapes
and tries to kill a young woman.
March 1987 Oregon jury convicts Halbower of rape and attempted murder, and
hes sentenced to 15-years in prison.

years in prison or on the lam.


A 1987 psychiatric report for an Oregon
court concluded that Halbower was an intelligent man who suffered from a severe personality disorder, with a propensity toward
criminal behavior.
Halbower earned a high school diploma in
prison, but he has had no other education,
court records show. He does not appear to
possess job skills, although he took drafting classes and dabbled with art behind bars
in Michigan, Nevada and Oregon.

Poor impulse control


Still, that psychiatric report said
Halbower feels that he is pretty accomplished, that he should be able to teach, that
he has a great many qualifications and
yearned to be a famous artist or a rock-androll star. The report concluded that
Halbowers life is replete with poor
impulse control, narcissism and a certain
grandiosity.
By his own reckoning, Halbowers criminal career began when he was 9 years old in
his hometown of Muskegon, Michigan,
when police picked him up for breaking
windows in a cottage, the psychiatrist
said.
Four years later, he stole and wrecked a car
and then ran away from a juvenile detention
facility. It was the beginning of a pattern of
crime, prison and escape.
Halbower has been arrested at least 10

Coach pleads no contest to kissing girl

A 42-year-old man with ties to

pleaded no contest Thursday to
one count of a felony lewd act on a
15-year-old child by a person
more than 10 years older, according to the San Mateo County
District Attorneys Office.

No state prison time


Mark Avery Turner made the plea
on the condition that he would
receive no state prison time and

no more than
120 days in
jail, prosecutors said.
Tur n e r s
charge could be

probation, but
he must register as a sex offender,
according to prosecutors.
The court continued the case
until July 15 at 8:30 a.m. for

Turners sentencing. Turner, who


was arrested on Sept. 23, is free on
$150,000 bail.
Prosecutors said Turner gave the
victim a ride home after a basketball practice and rubbed the girls
thigh several times during a fiveminute period.

Kiss on cheek
Turner asked the girl whether
she thought of him as more than a
coach and kissed her on the cheek,
prosecutors said.
Prosecutors said Turner made the

girl swear not to tell anyone what


happened. The girl eventually told
several friends and the story got
back to the girls parents who
called police, prosecutors said.

Coached several years


Police said Turner worked for
several years as a football coach
and campus security officer at El
Camino High School in South San
Francisco. Turner also coached
girls club basketball in the Bay

Police said the incident did not

occur during a school-sponsored

statement by the school districts superintendent Alejandro

A cat found injured in El Granada on Friday

emergency services officials said.
Around 3 p.m. Friday, the house cat was
attacked by a mountain lion on the street in
the 400 block of Bridgeport Drive of the

neighborhood, county emergency officials said.
There were no reports of a mountain lion
sighting, but a veterinarian who treated the
cat determined it suffered wounds from a

emergency officials.
Personnel from the state Department of

The public is being asked to keep a watchful eye over pets and children due to a recent
increase in mountain lion activity in the
countys rural and semi-rural areas, according to county emergency officials.

video to break the billion barrier


so far has been Baby by Justin
Bieber, but YouTube expects clips
by singers Katy Perry, Shakira,
Taylor Swift, Meghan Trainor and
Miley Cyrus to eventually join the
exclusive club.
In 2007, about six hours of
video footage was being transferred to YouTube every minute.
Now, about 300 hours of video is
uploaded to YouTube each minute,
or about 432,000 hours per day.
That means it would take about 49
years to watch all the videos posted on YouTube on a typical day.
Most TV and movie executives
initially reviled YouTube, contending the sites early success
stemmed from its lax controls
against video pirates posting
copyrighted clips. Even Google
initially viewed the video site as a
rogue enabler of content theft,
according to internal documents
that surfaced in a copyright lawsuit filed against YouTube.
YouTube steadfastly denied
wrongdoing and, as a defense,
pointed to its policy of removing
pirated video whenever asked by a
copyright holder.

Wildfire considered suspicious


A grass fire that consumed roughly 2 acres
of vegetation in South San Francisco Friday
evening is considered suspicious, a fire official said.
Firefighters responded to a report of a fire
at Sign Hill around 8:50 p.m., Battalion
Chief Jess Magallanes said.
Firefighters could see the blaze from the
fire station spreading across the northeast
section of the hill and immediately ordered a
second alarm, Magallanes said.
Fire crews were able to contain the blaze
to two acres and prevent it from spreading
to several eucalyptus trees, he said.
The weather helped because it was misty,
but it was spreading at a decent rate,
Magallanes said. We had some spotting
near the eucalyptus, but we kept the fire to
the grass.
He said the fire never threatened any
homes and no one had to be evacuated. No
injuries were reported. Firefighters were
able to bring the fire under control within
roughly 45 minutes and Magallanes said fire
crews spent another hour mopping up the
area and making sure everything was fully
extinguished. The cause of the fire is under
investigation.

Shortly after being bought by


Google, YouTube built an automated detection system that prevents
most unauthorized clips from
appearing on its site.
In need of additional computing
power and legal protection
against the pirating claims,
YouTubes founders decided to sell
in 2006. They negotiated the
Google deal in a series of meetings in a Dennys restaurant in
Palo Alto, California, instead of
YouTubes dinky office located
above a pizza parlor in nearby San
Mateo. The purchase price was
originally set at $1.65 billion in
Google stock, but the value of the
shares had climbed by the time the
deal closed in November 2006 to
set the final price at $1.76 billion.
The biggest winners were cofounders Chad Hurley, Steve Chen
and Jawed Karim , who collectively received nearly $700 million in
Google stock. Hurley now runs a
mobile
video
site
called
MixBitApp. Chen is an entrepreneur-in-residence at Googles venture capital arm. Karim is financing and advising startups at Y

Ventures.
YouTube employed fewer than
70 people at the time of the sale,
and at least 18 of them became
millionaires.
Other
early
investors in the site who pocketed
smaller windfalls included TV talk
show host Maury Povich and former network TV news broadcaster
Forrest Sawyer.
Google has never disclosed how
much money YouTube brings in or
even if the site is profitable. The
research firm eMarketer projects
YouTube will sell about $4.3 billion in advertising this year, after
subtracting commissions and
licensing fees. That would translate into about 7 percent of
Googles projected revenue of $60
billion this year after subtracting
advertising commissions.
If it were an independent company, YouTube likely would be worth
at least $20 billion, based on
investors assessment of Netflix
the Internets leading video
subscription service. Netflix currently has a market value of $37
billion, or about five and half
times its projected revenue this
year.

Can Marriage Exist Between

Science And Religion?


By Paul Larson
MILLBRAE

Some
say
that
science and religion
dont mix. Some
say that science is
the ultimate search
for God. Some say
religion supersedes
science, some say both have equal stature
and others say both are hogwash. Everyone
has their own personal assessment of the
correlation between science and religion.
The aspiration of religion along with the
aspiration of science is to explain the
universe and answer questions about life, in
addition to satisfying human psychological
needs when dealing with the realities of
death. Religion is based on faith, science is
based on observation, and both are based on
human curiosity and the need to find
answers. Whether a person is repetitively
reading religious scripture, or fascinated by
repeatable scientific experimentations, both
are searching for methods that answer
questions about the universe around us.
It can be debated that early humans
turned to religion as a way to alleviate their
fears and gain reassurance with the concept
of life after death. This helped to give them
a sense of order in a confusing world that
often seemed mysterious.
Eventually
scientific realization evolved along side
religion and the process of trial and error
established itself as a way to solve some of
these mysteries. Firethe wheelfarming.
The more humans observed the world they
lived in, the more they leaned how the
natural world worked and how they could
manipulate it to their advantage. Over the
centuries religious power came at odds with
scientific discovery, which led to a period of

scientific stagnation: The Dark Ages.


Later at the dawn of The Renaissance
science was again embraced leading to great
advances in art, architecture, medicine,
astronomy and other natural sciences. Over
the ages science and religion have been
evolving together on a roller coaster ride of
acceptance, denial and equilibrium.
We now appear to be at a crossroads
where religion is not only viewing science
with an evaluative broadmindedness, but is
exploring hand in hand with scientific
processes.
One prime example is the
Vaticans
Pontifical
Academy
of
Sciences. Quoting John Paul II: ...today
eminent scientists are members a visible
sign of the profound harmony that can
exist between the truths of science and the
truths of faith.... Gregor Mendel, the father
of Genetics, was an Augustinian Friar.
Georges Lemaitre, who developed much of
the Big Bang Theory, was a Belgian priest.
Recently, Pope Francis, who has a Masters
Degree in Chemistry, insisted that there is
no reason to believe that science and God
are incompatible.
With all this in mind, every human being
is unique as a fingerprint, and every human
brain has its own unique consciousness.
Whether you analyze with your religious cap
or your science cap, matrimony between the
two could be found by looking inward. So,
close your eyes, examine your deep
thoughts, and you may detect a rational
enlightenment finely attuned to both.

Dozens arrested, cited after Oakland protest


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND Authorities acting


under a new get-tough policy for
monitoring street protests arrested or cited dozens of demonstrators for ignoring police orders to
end a demonstration in Oakland.
The Oakland police said the protesters were detained Saturday
night after about 100 demonstrators confronted a line of officers.
After a brief standoff, the police
ordered the protesters to disband.
Dozens of protesters who sat in
the middle of the street were
detained along with several others

who tried to flee.


The Oakland Tribune reported
Sunday that police cited a new policy by the citys mayor to force
protesters from the street to the
sidewalk after Oakland experienced several violent demonstrations in the past year. Oakland has
hosted rallies in the streets for
years, but the mayor said the new
policy is needed to combat damage
to property and violence.
Mayor Libby Schaaf said earlier
that existing policies and laws
allows police to clear streets of
protesters. Many businesses
along the citys automobile sales

district were badly damaged by


protesters who broke away from
the main demonstration on May 1.
Businesses also sustained heavy
damage during protests arising
from the deaths of unarmed black
men in police custody in
Ferguson, Missouri, and elsewhere over the last two years.

Mayors new policy


Tensions rose anew in Oakland
on Thursday when protesters
marched in honor of black women
killed by police across the nation.
But organizers said they were surprised when police pushed them

off the streets and onto the sidewalks, citing the mayors new
policy. No one was arrested
Thursday.
Organizers then called for
another protest Saturday to
demonstrate against the new policy.
You cant run roughshod over
people because theyre protesting
your oppression, said Cat
Brooks, an organizer of both
protests. You cant push us off
the streets.
Further protests over the new
policy are planned, Brooks said.
Rachel Lederman, a lawyer with

the National Lawyers Guild who


helped Oakland craft its crowdcontrol policies, said the new tactics appear to violate the guidelines.

On the sidewalk
It doesnt make any sense
because saying that marches have
to be on the sidewalk has
absolutely no relationship to
impending property damage that
might occur, Lederman said.
Obviously that would happen on
a sidewalk, not a street.
The mayor didnt respond to a
request for comment.

Juvenile gray Leaked pipeline lacked auto shut-off


whale found
dead on coast
By Brian Melley

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA ROSA The carcass of a 28-foot juvenile gray


whale washed up on the Sonoma Coast Friday night or
Saturday morning.
The whale was discovered ashore on Portuguese Beach as
the northern migration for gray whales draws a close,
reports the Press Democrat.
The whale was decomposing and seemed to have been
dead for some time, according to California State Parks
Ranger Damien Jones.
The Marine Mammal Center took a tissue sample in an
attempt to determine the cause of death, but Jones said it
doesnt look like the whale was killed by trauma, like being
struck by a ship.
The whale will probably remain on Portuguese Beach
until the tide carries it back to sea, said Jones.
Generally we leave dead and sick animals where they are
and let nature take its course, he said.
May marks the tail end the gray whales annual trip from
Mexico breeding and birthing lagoons to Alaska feed
grounds. Thousands of whales make the 5,000 mile journey,
including newborn calves and their mothers, although some
are believed to stay in a more confined area year-round.
Several other whales have washed up on Northern
California beaches lately.

LOS ANGELES The pipeline that


leaked thousands of gallons of oil on
the California coast was the only pipe
of its kind in the county not required to
have an automatic shut-off valve
because of a court fight nearly three
decades ago, a county official said.
The original owner of the pipeline
skirted the Santa Barbara County
requirement by successfully arguing in
court in the late 1980s that it should be
subject to federal oversight because
the pipeline is part of an interstate network, said Kevin Drude, deputy director of the countys Energy and
Minerals Division. Auto shut-off
valves are not required by federal regulators.

Only major pipeline


Its the only major pipeline that
doesnt have auto shut-off, Drude
said. For us, its routine.
Federal regulators are investigating
the cause of Tuesdays leak that spilled
up to 105,000 gallons of crude oil
from an underground pipe into a culvert and as much as 21,000 gallons
into the ocean at Refugio State Beach.

The spill killed untold numbers of


fish, at least five pelicans and a sea
lion. It also mired other wildlife,
including an elephant seal, in the
muck.
Plains All American Pipeline was
still draining the pipe and trying to
locate the leak Saturday. Federal regulators ordered the company to remove
the damaged section and send it to a lab
for tests on the metal, along with a
series of other steps before it could
resume pumping oil through the pipe
to inland refineries.
Plains said the pipeline had one
valve to shut it down if oil flowed in
the opposite direction and three valves
controlled by operators in its Midland,
Texas, control room.

The standard
Plains defended its people approach
to manually shutting down the system,
saying its the standard across the
country for liquid pipelines.
It is much safer for operators who
understand the operations of the
pipeline to shut it down following a
planned sequence of steps than for
computer to automatically close a
valve on oil that is traveling in confined space at high pressure, Patrick

Hodgins, the companys senior director of safety, said Saturday. This is all
standard operating procedures within
our industry.
While its not known if an auto shutoff valve would have detected the leak
and reduced the size of the spill, environmentalists have criticized the lack
of such a device, saying it could have
averted or minimized the disaster.

Mystified
Everyone is pretty mystified why
the pipeline didnt automatically shut
down when the leak occurred, said
Linda Krop, chief counsel of the
Environmental Defense Center.
Santa Barbara County regulations
sometimes exceed state and federal
standards, requiring additional environmental analysis or imposing conditions to further protect health and
the environment, Drude said.
One additional requirement is a valve
that can detect changes consistent
with a leak and automatically shut
down.
The county successfully fought
another operator that didnt want to
install automatic shutdown valves on a
pipeline from an offshore drilling
platform, Drude said.

US: Iraqis showed no will to fight at Ramadi


By Ken Dilanian
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The Islamic


State groups takeover of the
provincial capital Ramadi is stark
evidence that Iraqi forces lack the
will to fight, Defense Secretary
Ash Carter said in a TV interview
that aired Sunday. The harsh
assessment raised new questions
about the Obama administrations
strategy to defeat the extremist
group that has seized a strategically important swath of the Middle
East.
Although Iraqi soldiers vastly
outnumbered their opposition in
the capital of Anbar province,
they quickly withdrew last Sunday
without putting up much resistance from the city in Iraqs Sunni
heartland, Carter said on CNNs
State of the Union. The interview aired on Sunday.
The Iraqis left behind large numbers of U.S.-supplied vehicles,

including several tanks, now


presumed to be
in Islamic State
hands.
What apparently happened
is the Iraqi
forces
just
showed
no
will
Ash Carter
to fight, Carter
said. They were not outnumbered;
in fact, they vastly outnumbered
the opposing force. That says to
me, and I think to most of us, that
we have an issue with the will of
the Iraqis to fight ISIL and defend
themselves.
The White House declined to
comment on Sunday.

Baseless
Iraqi lawmaker Hakim al-Zamili,
the head of the parliamentary
defense and security committee,
called Carters comments unrealistic and baseless, in an inter-

view with the Associated Press.


The Iraqi army and police did
have the will to fight IS group in
Ramadi, but these forces lack good
equipment, weapons and aerial
support, said al-Zamili, a member of the political party headed
by radical Shia cleric Muqtada alSadr, who is stridently antiAmerican.
American officials say they are
sending anti-tank weapons to the
Iraqi military. But they also noted
that Iraqi forces were not routed
from Ramadi they left of their
own accord, frightened in part by a
powerful wave of Islamic State
group suicide truck bombs, some
the size of the one that destroyed
the federal building in Oklahoma
City two decades ago, said a senior
State Department official who
spoke to reporters last week under
ground rules he not be named.
The ISF was not driven out of
Ramadi, Gen. Martin Dempsey,
chairman of the Joint Chiefs of

Staff, said last week. They drove


out of Ramadi.
A senior defense official noted
that the troops who fled Ramadi
had not been trained by the U.S. or
its coalition partners. The official
was not authorized to address the
matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.

No combat troops
Still, the fall of Ramadi is reviving questions about the effectiveness of the Obama administrations approach in Iraq, a blend of
retraining and rebuilding the Iraqi
army, prodding the Shiite-dominated government in Baghdad to
reconcile with the nations Sunnis
and bombing Islamic State group
targets from the air without committing American ground combat
troops.
Obamas strategy is predicated
on Baghdad granting political
concessions to the countrys
alienated Sunnis, who are a source

of personnel and money for the


Islamic State group. But there has
been little visible progress on
that front. Baghdad has continued
to work closely with Shiite militias backed by Iran, which have
been accused of atrocities against
Sunnis, a religious minority that
ruled Iraq for centuries until
Saddam Hussein fell from power.
The U.S. has sought to reach out
on its own to Sunni tribes and is
training some Sunni fighters, but
those efforts have been limited by
the small number of American
troops on the ground. Carter
defended the use of U.S. airstrikes,
but he said they are not a replacement for Iraqi ground forces willing to defend their country.
We can participate in the defeat
of ISIL, he said. But we cant
make Iraq ... a decent place for
people to live we cant sustain
the victory, only the Iraqis can do
that and, in particular in this case,
the Sunni tribes to the West.

Forgotten for decades,


fallen soldier honored
By Chris Carola
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALBANY, N.Y. Carroll Heath didnt


have it easy growing up in the Great
Depression. His father wasnt around, his
mother was a patient in a mental hospital
and he kept largely to himself. Soon after
graduating high school, he enlisted in the
Army and wound up in the Philippines,
where hes believed to have died sometime
in 1942.
It was a short life that went largely unnoticed, even in Pvt. Heaths western New
York hometown of Gowanda. For 70 years,
he was the forgotten soldier, his name not
listed among the towns war dead, not
inscribed on a World War II memorial in the
middle of town.
And thats likely how things would have
remained had it not been for one of Heaths
high school classmates, a now-92-year-old
WWII vet who enlisted his son to track
down fading recollections that Heath went
off to the Philippines to fight the Japanese
and never came back.
The guy had a pretty tough life, Robert
Mesches said by phone from his retirement
home in Port St. Lucie, Florida. This man
should be remembered.
Late last year, 66-year-old Alan Mesches,
who grew up in Gowanda and now lives outside Dallas, began trying to find out what
happened to Heath. Id like to complete
the story. Id like to see him get recognition.
It hasnt been easy. Heath wasnt married
and had no children. Little was known about
Heath when he attended Gowanda High, and
only a handful of his classmates are still
living.
Alan Mesches, an Air Force veteran,
spent the past several months tracking
down every bit of information available on
Heath, from census listings to school
records to military documents. He learned
that Heath was born in 1919 and was shuf-

fled among relatives living in several rural communities


around
Gowanda, 30 miles south
of Buffalo.
Heaths name appeared
in the 1940 census as
living with an aunt and
uncle on a farm near
Carroll Heath Gowanda. The same census listed his mother as a
patient at the Gowanda State Hospital, a
psychiatric facility. His mother apparently
remained a patient at the hospital until her
death in 1962.
Heath didnt enter the Gowanda school
system until 1936. He was already a few
years older than his classmates, which may
have accounted for his relative anonymity
in a group that had known one another since
first grade.
With all the bouncing around, he was
probably in and out of school, Alan
Mesches said. It wasnt unusual in the
Depression era for kids not to go to school
all the time.
Heaths senior picture appears in the
1940 edition of the Gowanda High year
book. Unlike most seniors, he didnt list
any school activities. The yearbook staffs
description of him reads: Quiet, curly
locks, good natured.
Heath enlisted in the Army in late
February 1941. By December of that year,
he was serving in the Armys 1st Signal
Training Battalion on the island of Luzon in
the Philippines. On Dec. 8, the day after the
attack on Pearl Harbor, Japanese warplanes
bombed U.S. air bases on Luzon. Days later,
Japanese troops began landing. The battle
for the Philippines would last into early
May 1942, when American forces finally
surrendered.
The U.S. military listed Heath as missing
in action as of May 7, 1942. His remains
were listed as unrecoverable and his date
of death listed as Dec. 31, 1942.

Flash floods kill 2; 100s of homes gone


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN MARCOS, Texas Record rainfall


was wreaking havoc across a swath of Texas
and the Midwest on Sunday, causing flash
floods in normally dry riverbeds, spawning
tornadoes and forcing at least 2,000 people
to flee.
Tornadoes struck, severely damaging an
apartment complex in Houston, Texas. A
firefighter in Oklahoma was swept to his
death while trying to rescue 10 people in
high water. And the body of a man was

recovered from a flooded area along the


Blanco River, which rose 26 feet in just one
hour and left piles of wreckage 20 feet high,
authorities in Texas said.
It looks pretty bad out there, said Hays
County emergency management coordinator Kharley Smith, describing the destruction in Wimberley, a community that is part
of a fast-growing corridor between Austin
and San Antonio. We do have whole streets
with maybe one or two houses left on them
and the rest are just slabs, she said.
From 350 to 400 homes were destroyed.

Gay couples awake to new Ireland


By Shawn Pogatchnik
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DUBLIN Gay couples of Ireland woke


up Sunday in what felt like a nation reborn,
with dreams of wedding plans dancing in
their heads.
This new reality was sinking in after the
Irish people voted with a surprisingly
strong 62 percent yes to enshrine the
right to gay marriage in the countrys conservative 1937 constitution. Thousands of
revelers of all sexual identities celebrated
until dawn after the result was announced
Saturday night.
The Justice Department confirmed Sunday
it plans to draft a marriage bill this week
that will permit those taking vows in civil
ceremonies to choose either to be husband
and wife or spouses of each other. It will
ensure that no church is required to perform

a gay marriage, a key demand of the dominant Catholic Church and also the main
Protestant and Muslim communities in
Ireland.
Deputy Prime Minister Joan Burton said
she expects the bill to become law by early
July. Because existing law requires a minimum three-month notice for any civil marriages, the first gay weddings cannot happen until the fall.
For Sen. Katherine Zappone and Ann
Louise Gilligan, their day has nearly come.
Since 2003 they have fought for legal
recognition of their Canadian marriage, suffering setbacks and delays as they sued the
state all the way to the Supreme Court.
For so long, Ive been having to dig in
my heels and say ... Well, we ARE married.
Im a married woman! said Zappone, a
Seattle native who settled with her Irish
spouse in Dublin three decades ago.

We are now entering a new Ireland, said


Gilligan, a former nun.
Zappone and Gilligan thrilled a crowd of
thousands of rainbow flag-waving revelers
Saturday at the results center at Dublin
Castle with a playful promise to renew their
vows. Zappone dramatically broke off from
a live TV interview, stared directly into the
camera, and asked Gilligan to marry her all
over again.
I said yes to Katherine 12 years ago at
our marriage in Canada, Gilligan, nearby,
shouted to the crowd.
And now we are bringing the yes back
home to Ireland, our country of Ireland! Yes,
yes, yes!
In a more sober mood Sunday, the couple
reflected on their long road to social acceptance and the remaining wait to get officially hitched in Ireland, before Christmas they
hope.

Catholics organize to promote popes climate change message


By Rachel Zoll
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK There will be


prayer vigils and pilgrimages,
policy briefings and seminars,
and sermons in parishes from the
U.S. to the Philippines.
When Pope Francis releases his
much-anticipated teaching document on the environment and climate change in the coming weeks,
a network of Roman Catholics
will be ready. These environmental advocates who work with
bishops,
religious
orders,
Catholic universities and lay
movements have been preparing for months to help maximize

the effect of the


statement, hoping for a transformative
impact in the
fight against
global warming.
This is such
powerful
Pope Francis a
moment, said
Patrick Carolan, executive director of Franciscan Action Network,
a Washington-based advocacy
group formed by Franciscan religious orders. Were asking ourselves, What would be the best
way for us to support the faith
community in getting this out and

using it as a call to action?


Francis is issuing the encyclical
by the end of June with an eye
toward the end-of-year U.N. climate change conference in Paris.
While previous popes have made
strong moral and theological
arguments in favor of environmental protection, Francis will be
the first to address global warming
in such a high-level teaching document.
The pope, who will address the
U.N. General Assembly Sept. 25
when he visits the U.S., has said
he wants the encyclical to be
released in time to be read and
absorbed before the Paris talks.
Advocates are pressing for a bind-

ing, comprehensive agreement


among nations to curb rising
global temperatures, which scientists say are largely driven by carbon emissions.
People are really putting a lot
of weight on this, said Nancy
Tuchman, director of the Institute
of Environmental Sustainability
at Loyola University Chicago. I
think the real hope is that he says
it like it is and tells us there has to
be a call to action and it has to be
immediate.
The institute, which has been
working to unite 28 U.S. Jesuit
colleges and universities as a common voice on climate change,
plans to collect papers from stu-

dents, faculty and staff with their


reflections on the document and
how they can be one of its champions, Tuchman said. A school
colloquium on the papers is
planned for Sept. 9.
Carolan was among about 40
Catholic leaders who gathered in
Rome this month for a strategy
meeting organized by the Global
Catholic Climate Movement, a
network he co-founded which
includes organizations representing religious orders, church aid
agencies, Catholic social justice
advocates and others. The movement started a petition that urges
political leaders to take action to
curb global warming.

Ex-Pakistani PM: Sons captors


want al-Qaida militants released
By Asim Tanveer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MULTAN, Pakistan The captors of a


former Pakistani prime ministers son
demanded the release of several al-Qaida
prisoners in exchange for his release, the
former premier said Sunday.
Yusuf Raza Gilani said he spoke by phone
for eight minutes to his son Ali Haider, who
he believed was being held somewhere in
Afghanistan.
Gunmen seized Haider in May 2013. In a
video, later released purportedly by the
Taliban, the militants claimed to be holding
him hostage.
His son appeared to be in good condition,
Gilani said.
Theyre demanding, theyre talking
about the release of some al-Qaida men,
their children and women, Ginai said.
He said he had previously taken up the
issue with the Afghan president and planned
to pursue the matter with Pakistani officials.
Gilani, who served as prime minister
between March 2008 and April 2012, led
major military offensives against Taliban

strongholds like Swat and South Waziristan


in 2009.
Also on Sunday, a militant video purported to show a Chinese tourist kidnapped by
Taliban-allied fighters in Pakistan a year
ago asking for his government to assist in
his release.
A militant known to belong to a Taliban
splinter group called Jaish al-Hadeed, or the
Army of Steel, provided the video to The
Associated Press. While it could not be
independently verified by the AP, the man in
the video resembled other known photographs of Hong Xudong, kidnapped in May
2014.
In the video, the man identified as Hong
asks for the Chinese government to honor
his kidnappers ransom demands, without
ever stating the nature of those demands.
Chinese officials and state media did not
immediately comment on the video.
Officials at the Chinese Embassy in
Islamabad could not be reached for comment.
Hong went missing after entering
Pakistan from neighboring India in April
2014. Police later found his passport, bicycle and personal belongings.

Graves of suspected trafficking victims found

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia

Malaysian authorities said Sunday that they


have discovered a series of graves in at least
17 abandoned camps used by human traffickers on the border with Thailand where
Rohingya Muslims fleeing Myanmar have
been held.
The finding follows a similar discovery
earlier this month by police in Thailand
who unearthed dozens of bodies from shallow graves in abandoned camps on the Thai
side of the border. The grim discoveries are
shedding new light on the hidden network

of jungle camps run by traffickers, who


have for years held countless desperate people captive while extorting ransoms from
their families.
Most of those who have fallen victim to
the trafficking networks are refugees and
impoverished migrants from Myanmar and
Bangladesh, part of a wave of people who
have fled their homelands to reach countries
like Malaysia, where they hope to find work
or live free from persecution. As local governments have launched crackdowns amid
intensified international pressure and media
scrutiny, traffickers have abandoned camps
on land and even boats at sea to avoid arrest.

The time to prepare is now


By Adrienne J. Tissier

t always feels like theres time


later to prepare for a disaster or
other emergency. Most of us by
now have heard the mantra create
an emergency kit with several days of
food and fresh batteries, establish an
evacuation plan and meeting location
for loved ones, practice what to do
when the Big One hits. Yet, many of
us are slow to act.
But the truth is we dont know if
theres time later. Disasters, both natural and man-made, come at a
moments notice, if that. And, if we
havent taken the opportunity during
the calm time to adequately prepare we
are usually not ready to weather the
proverbial storm.
Just recently, a 7.8-magnitude
earthquake rocked Nepal, killing more
than 3,000 people including Bay Area
residents. But calamities are not only
events that happen over there.
Many emergencies on scales large and
small happen in our own backyard.
The deadly 2010 San Bruno gasline
explosion and re will always stand
as one of our countys major
tragedies. But so is the Asian Airlines

jetliner crash at
San Francisco
International
Airport. Likewise,
last December,
severe ooding
from winter storms
drove dozens from
their units at three
mobile home parks
in San Mateo County and impacted
dozens others with power outages,
downed trees and property damage. We
cant choose what disasters hit and
when. What we can do, however, is
empower ourselves and our community by being as prepared as possible
for a range of scenarios.
The 11th Annual San Mateo County
Disaster Preparedness Day is a perfect
opportunity to jumpstart your own
personal preparation or refresh the
information and tools you already
have in place. From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Saturday, June 7, Disaster
Preparedness Day will be held at the
San Mateo County Event Center in
conjunction with opening day of the
San Mateo County Fair. In fact, anyone arriving prior to 11 a.m. will
receive free parking and free admission to the fair. While disasters are

very serious business, this half-day


family-friendly event will show that
planning for them can be fun.
Thanks to the Ofce of Emergency
Services and dozens of community
partners, rst-responders and volunteers, attendees can learn how to perform CPR or develop a family disaster
plan. Gypsy the search dog will show
off her stuff and emergency response
vehicles will be on hand for an upclose look. With booths, giveaways
and demonstrations, the county will
turn disaster preparedness from a
chore into an informed and entertaining choice.
There is no question that life
involves mishaps; thankfully, we
know the answer is proper preparation. Action is a better solution than
reaction and the time to get ready is
now.

Letters to the editor


Keeping the streets
clean from garbage
Editor,
Thanks to Oscar Lopez-Guerra for
his letter (Anti-scavenging ordinance in the May 22 edition of the
Daily Journal).
To answer Mr. Lopez-Guerra as to
who is responsible for this law
you are! Mr. Lopez-Guerra has long
asked the city to do something to
help keep our streets clean (see his
More Garbage letter in the Jan. 19,
2012, edition of the Daily Journal).
Large commercial scavengers routinely poach metal and cardboard
from downtown and other commercial
areas of San Mateo late at night,
spilling trash and debris all over our

Allowing us to stop these large commercial scavengers from raiding trash

Money for what?


Editor,
Gov. Jerry Brown and UC President
Janet Napolitano came to a funding
agreement between the state and the
UC system, eliminating the need to
raise student tuition. What you might
not know is where the money the
state is kicking in is going. The extra
money that the two have negotiated
goes almost exclusively into paying
down future pension debt $436
million over three years to be exact.
So the taxpayer money isnt going

going to pay down the unfunded future
liabilities of another sector of public
employees. The amount of money the
state is spending on public pensions
and health care is to the point of catastrophic and is crowding out other
important needs of Californians.
As more and more of our budget
goes to unfunded liabilities of government employees, we can expect to
pay more in taxes and get a lot less in
services. The promises made to public employees have long been criticized as too expensive and unsustainable. This negotiation between
Brown and Napolitano is a glaring
example of that. We need to change
the structure of government-employee
benets to more of a pay-as-you-go,
dened contribution type of system.
Having to pay a dened benet and
health care costs after retirement to
each public employee is going to
drain more and more of our state budget. Public employee pensions and
benets have never been adequately
funded; I hope that is now clear to
everyone.

New Bay Meadows


park features
famous sculpture

ne of the Bay Meadows new parks, Landing


Green, features a sculpture by noted artist Chuck
Ginnever. Its a nice connection because
Ginnever is a San Mateo native. He was born in 1931,
raised in Hayward Park, graduated from San Mateo High
School, and attended San Mateo Junior College. His
father, Charles Ginnever, was San Mateo treasurer (once
an elected post) for 35 years and co-founder of American
Legion Post 82. His mother worked for the director of
the old Mills Hospital. Ginnever Street in Fiesta
Gardens is named after the
famous family.
How did this work of art
find a home in San Mateo?
The tale begins when
Ginnever met Sam
Francis, another famous
artist, San Mateo native
and San Mateo High
School graduate, in New
York. A Sam Francis painting is prominently displayed in the San Mateo
Main Library. Through
Francis, Ginnever met an
art dealer in Palo Alto and
was invited to exhibit for
a 1978 exhibit. That
became the first official showing of the sculpture.
The metal sculpture is large and titled San Mateo
Bridge. Ginnever is known for large-scale open form
work for outdoors. According to the artist ever since I
was driven across the Golden Gate Bridge on opening
day in 1937, when I was 6 years old, Id tried my hand at
designing bridges. Upon completion of the sculpture
that became the main attraction for my 1978 show at
Smith Anderson Gallery, I thought that the way that
some of its elements touched the ground and others
extended into the air had a bridge-like quality, so I titled
it after my hometown bridge, which Id traversed so
many times. Ginnever now lives in Vermont.
Fortunately, Ginnevers work is much more appealing
than the San Mateo-Hayward Bridge.
***
How did the city obtain the sculpture? There was a $1
million obligation for public art as part of the development agreement for Bay Meadows. The citys Civic Arts
Committee which reviews acquisitions for public art
worked with Wilson Meany and Stockbridge Capital
Group, the developers, to acquire San Mateo Bridge.
Former CAC member Kevin Hearle recommended acquiring the piece from San Mateos native son.
Other works by Ginnever in the area are Rashomon
at the San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art, The
Three Graces at the Cantor Museum, Stanford
University and five large-scale sculptures on the
grounds of Runnymede farm in Woodside.
***
Bad news for Peninsula drivers and transit riders is San
Franciscos proposed plan to move the entire downtown
Caltrain station and tear down a portion of Interstate
280 for the sake of new Mission Bay development that
would cost billions of dollars. The change could reshape
the landscape of a significant portion of the city, and
the driving and commute patterns of many.
The Caltrain station at 4th and King streets sits just a
few blocks away from AT&T Park and has the highest
level of ridership of all Caltrain stations. Its a prized
piece of property that the city now hopes to convince
Caltrain to give up.
Mayor Ed Lee is talking up a multi-billion dollar proposal to move the entire rail yard and station several
blocks away to a location between the ballpark and the
proposed Warriors arena in the Mission Bay neighborhood.
Lee says the land at the stations current location simply could be put to better use. From his point of view,
that may be so. But for Peninsula auto and Caltrain commuters, tearing down the Sixth Street Interstate 280
connection and moving the Fourth and Townsend train
station and rail yard would be inconvenient to say the
least. San Francisco is one of the three members of the
Joint Powers Board which runs Caltrain, so the transit
agency may have to be muted in its concerns. But, to
date, Caltrain is not cheering the proposal. Nor should
we.

YouTube is redefining celebrity


By Derrik J. Lang
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Its a meetand-greet worthy of an A-list star.


Outside the three-story bookstore at the outdoor shopping
mecca known as The Grove, hundreds of mostly young women
have formed a line that stretches
past trendy clothing stores and
spills out onto a nearby street.
Theyre waiting to have Connor
Franta, an affable 22-year-old
Internet personality best known
for delivering diary-like monologues on YouTube, sign a copy of
his new memoir.
The irony of a YouTube star
drawing a massive crowd at a
bookstore isnt lost on talent
manager Andrew Graham.
A year ago, I went to New York
and tried to get a book publisher
to take a meeting with me, said
Graham, who represents Franta
and
other
mega-popular
YouTubers. I had one meeting,
and they laughed at me. Here we
are a year later at Barnes & Noble
in Los Angeles with a New York
Times best-selling author who is a
client. I think that says it all. Its
a 180-degree turn.
Franta isnt a singer, chef,
comedian or athlete. Hes a
YouTube star angling to be the
Oprah Winfrey for millennials.
In its 10-years of existence,
YouTube has evolved from a playground for kitty videos to a $20

billion visual
menagerie.
Along the way,
its
also
become
an
incubator for a
new type of
celebrity a
digital
Brat
thats
Connor Franta Pack
leveraging
smartphone stardom to write
books, drop albums, design products and break into Hollywood.
Its the most powerful marketing platform in the world for millennials, said Graham. If youre
trying to reach that audience of
girls
gathered
downstairs,
YouTube is the venue to do that.
Look at an artist like Fred (Lucas
Cruikshank). He went off to
Hollywood, created some films,
neglected his channel, came back
to YouTube and ... crickets. No
one was there anymore. You cant
abandon it.

Advertising
In recent years, YouTube, which
is celebrating its 10th anniversary this month, has propped up
YouTubers like Franta creators, the site calls them who
attract millions of subscribers
that regularly watch their online
videos and the advertising
attached to them.
Their popularity is still eclipsed
by music videos, which continue
to account for YouTubes most

watched clips. Yet the fandom that


creators are inspiring, and the ad
revenue theyre bringing in, cant
be ignored.
With his playful grin and doe
eyes, Franta currently boasts more
than 4.4 million devotees to his
personal YouTube channel, where
he speaks to viewers about life,
dating, candy, whatever at least
once a week. He began posting
videos in 2010 while still attending high school in La Crescent,
Minnesota. Now, hes releasing
music compilations and a line of
locally grown coffee.

Justin Bieber or Psy


For every Justin Bieber or Psy,
perhaps YouTubes biggest success stories, there are dozens of
Frantas. Its a form of celebrity
that didnt exist 10 years ago,
when YouTube was born and made
it simple to post video online.
Franta, who continues to upload
videos despite his other endeavors, is young enough to have been
inspired by the YouTube vloggers
that came before him.
There are guys like Shane
Dawson and Phillip DeFranco who
I was a fan of, and now were
friends, said Franta, sequestered
from fans behind racks of his
book, A Work in Progress, in
the Barnes & Noble stockroom.
Do you know how awkward it
would be to tell some of my
friends that I watched them on
YouTube in my bedroom before I

knew them? Its weird to think of


it like that.
The creators importance to
YouTube is evidenced by the
Google-backed site bankrolling
marketing campaigns the past two
years featuring such famous (on
the Internet) faces as Bethany
Mota, Hannah Hart and Grace
Helbig. While such creators vlog
about very different topics, they
usually share a similar aesthetic:
improvised delivery, quirky editing and personalities that jump off
screens.
Google has opened production
facilities in London, Los Angeles,
New York, Tokyo and Sao Paulo
for creators who have more than
5,000 subscribers to film videos.
The studios are equipped with sets
and equipment that transcend most
YouTubers living rooms and webcams. The spaces also serve as
social hubs for creators. Several of
them will host 10th anniversary
parties on Wednesday.
For us, creators are the lightbulb of the ecosystem, said
Kevin Allocca, YouTubes head of
culture and trends. Sure, YouTube
was originally known for viral
videos, and that was great and still
is, but if you want to be able to
build a business, you need to be
able to create a following. I think
its a very different model than traditional media. Its about maximizing the connection with an
audience.
Thats not so different from the

genesis of YouTube, which entered


its beta phase in May 2005. The
first-ever video posted on the site
was a crude 19-second clip titled
Me at the Zoo that featured
YouTube co-founder Jawed Karim
speaking directly to the camera
about the cool elephants at the
San Diego Zoo.
Its been a decade, and while
video lengths are longer and resolutions are higher, the sentiment
is the same: watch me.

Twitch, Meerkat
The next evolution for online
video has seemingly already
arrived, with such sites and apps
as Twitch, Periscope, Meerkat and
YouNow making it easier than ever
to stream live video. Thats a feature YouTube has in its arsenal but
the streaming video giant has yet
to solidify itself as a live video
destination.
Theres a ton of opportunity
for innovation there, said
Allocca. As it becomes easier to
stream and take advantages of
audiences built on YouTube,
theres going to be some interesting stuff. Its another one of
those things thats really hard to
predict what will be next. I definitely think live experiences and
people gathering around singular moments will continue to
grow.
If the rise of YouTube over the
past decade is any indication, so
will the lines to meet creators.

Hawaii groups plant coconut trees, protest against Monsanto


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HONOLULU Demonstrators
spent Saturday planting coconut
trees and waving signs in rallies
across the Hawaiian Islands as part
of an international day of protests
against agriculture business
Monsanto.
The protesters complained
about the impacts that companies
like Monsanto have on the com-

munity when they spray fields


with chemical pesticides. They
say they want agribusiness companies to stop using Hawaii as a
testing ground for pesticides and
genetically modified foods.

No charges for Santa Ana


mayor in land swap case
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA ANA, Calif. No criminal charges will be filed against


Santa Anas mayor for a land swap
deal with a city contractor, prosecutors said Friday.
The Orange County district
attorneys office said in a 20-page
report that a previous fine
imposed by the state was enough.
The California Fair Political
Practices Commission fined

Mayor Miguel Pulido $13,000 and


found he committed six state violations, including voting on a
contract with a businessman who
swapped land with Pulidos family.
Prosecutors said there was no
evidence Pulido benefited from the
land swap and vote. They also said
the 2011 vote involved renewing
an existing contract with Rupen
Akoubian and not issuing a new
one.
Pulido said he felt vindicated.

said Nathaniel Whittaker, 28, of

On Maui, a group spent the day
sowing fields with crops to
encourage local farming. An estimated 200 demonstrators planted
2 acres of sweet potatoes, banana

We know that we have the
power in our hands to become selfsustainable, growing our own

healthy food, Bruch said.


The Maui group was joined by
Neil Young, who performed a song
from his upcoming album called
The Monsanto Years, Bruch
said.
Its pretty amazing he came out

Knights down PAL rival Woodside


Carlmont advances to D-I semis with 10-3 win over Mountain View
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

NATHAN MOLLAT/DAILY JOURNAL

Hillsdales Eryn McCoy struck out 12 in the


Knights 5-2 win in the CCS quarterfinals.

If there was one opponent the Hillsdale


softball team struggled with this season, it
was Woodside. The Knights had to scratch and
claw for a 3-0 win April 9 before the Wildcats
upended them on the penultimate day of the
regular season, 2-1 in nine innings.
Saturday, the two met up in the most
intense rubber match you can imagine: the
quarterfinals of the Central Coast Section
Division II tournament at Hawes Park in
Redwood City.
In the end, the Knights showed why they
finished as co-champions of the Peninsula
Athletic Leagues Bay Division. They scored
two runs in the third and three more in the

fifth before holding off a late Woodside rally


to post a 5-2 victory.
We wanted to come out and make our mark,
said Hillsdale pitcher Eryn McCoy. The
adrenaline hit us and we were ready to go.
Hillsdale (20-8), the No. 3 seed, will face
second-seeded Mitty (25-3) in the semifinals at 6 p.m. Wednesday at San Joses
P.A.L. Stadium. Mitty beat No. 7 Leigh 3-2
to advance.
McCoy appeared to have a personal grudge
to settle against Woodside (19-10). The junior pitcher was on top of her game from the
circle and at the plate. She sent a statement in
the top of the first inning but striking out the
side on 12 pitches and went on to strikeout
eight of the first 15 batters she faced as she
cruised through five innings.

McCoy finished with 12 strikeout for the


game.
Eryn was wonderful, said Hillsdale coach
Randy Metheany. It looked like her location
and spots (were on point). She could put it
wherever she wanted.
Eryns a gamer. She was sharp.
She was ready to go at the plate as well,
reaching base in all three plate appearances
with a walk, single and double. She also
drove in pair of runs, scored twice and swiped
two bags. She drew a one-out walk in the bottom of the first and proceeded to steal second
and third before being stranded.
In the third, she drove in Hillsdales first
run of the game, scoring Kalina Chan from

SHP comeback ousts Panthers


By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Through 19 wins this season, Sacred


Heart Preps pitching has been so good
there hasnt been much need for comebacks.
But in suffering an early deficit in
Saturdays Central Coast Section
Division II quarterfinal against
Burlingame, the Gators offense
answered the bell. The Panthers held a
five-run lead in the middle of the third

but, on its home field, No. 4-seed SHP


(19-12) rallied for its second biggest
comeback of the year to top No. 12
Burlingame 11-6.
Entering into play Saturday, SHP
pitchers had posted a 2.90 ERA. In 10
of the Gators wins this season, they
had held opponents to one or fewer
runs per game.
But Burlingame (19-13) came out
swinging against SHP starting pitcher
Angelo Tonas. The Panthers scored in
each of the first four innings and

knocked out the freshman left-hander


in the third.
Then SHP sophomore Cole Spina
emerged to hold Burlingame in check.
The left-hander had his ups-and-downs
through eight previous appearances,
entering into play Saturday with a
6.00 ERA. Spina came up with the
biggest outing of his varsity career
though, working 4 1/3 innings while
surrendering one run on four hits to
earn his first win of the season.

A new era in Burlingame soccer officially kicked off


Saturday night as the Dragons FC battled the Fresno Fuego
to a 2-2 tie.
Formerly the San Jose Earthquakes U23 team, the
Dragons are an official affiliate of the
Earthquakes
with
the
Premier
Development League. They began the
regular season with a pair of road wins
before opening their home schedule
Saturday at Burlingame High.
Dragons head coach Dana Taylor said
the 1,430 fans in attendance brought
plenty of energy to the historic game.
They were loud. They were crazy. It
Dana Taylor was festive, Taylor said. The atmosphere was really special by our crowd.
Trailing 2-1 late, the Dragons rallied in the 81st minute
to draw even. Julio Castillo scored the clutch goal on
Jamael Coxs second assist of the game. Cox drove around

Dons ride RHP Hermann to CCS semifinals


By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

It was simply David Hermanns day as


Aragon overcame Live Oak for a 10-5 win in
Saturdays Central Coast Section Division
II quarterfinal at Sacred Heart Prep.
The No. 14-seed Dons (19-12) pulled off
their second consecutive upset. Last
Wednesday against No. 3 Soledad, Aragon
rode starting pitcher Nick Franquez for a 6-4
win in which Hermann closed it out with

two innings of shutout


ball to earn the save.
Saturday, Hermann overcame some early struggles to go the distance.
We asked a lot out of
him [Saturday] and he
stepped us when we needed him, Aragon managDavid Hermann er Len Souza said. But
hes been doing that
stuff for us all year long.

Hermann also got it done at the plate and,


more importantly, on the bases. Amid a fiverun comeback rally in the top of the third,
Hermann who was 2 for 4 with two RBIs on
the day had a key infield hit to prolong the
inning. Then his creative base running coaxed
a throwing error to give the Dons the lead.
The critical base-running play saw
Aragon with runners at second and third
with two outs. With Hermann at second,
Andrew Abbott hit a routine bounder to
shortstop. But as Hermann was running

through the path of the ball, he slowed to


impede the vision of Live Oaks shortstop.
As the shortstop charged and struggled to
get a handle on the ball, the throw to first
base was wide, allowing Abbott to reach and
Kyle Tanaka to score from third base on the
errant throw.
I do it a lot during practice just to
mess up the vision of the defender,
Hermann said. As far as I know, its legal,

of me, so I figured why not hang around
a little longer and mess up his vision? It
ended up working out.
The inning ended up being something
of a train wreck for the Live Oak
defense. As the Acorns (16-15) committed two errors in the inning and allowed
two infield hits, the Dons sent nine batters to the plate amid the five-run rally.
There were three double-play balls
that we didnt turn to end the inning,
Live Oak manager C.J. Goularte said.
Live Oak led 3-1 after the second
inning. The bottom of the Acorns batting order knocked Hermann around in
the second. No. 7 hitter Alejandro
Martinez doubled home John Austin to
tie the game 1-1. Michael Porras then
scored on a passed ball to give Live Oak
the lead. No. 9 hitter Mitch Conforti
followed with an RBI single to score
Martinez.

rest of their lineup seriously, Hermann

third with a single to left. Chan drew a oneout walk and moved to second on a
grounduout. McCoy alertly moved up to
second when Woodside tried to get Chan at
the plate and when the throw soared over
the catchers head, McCoy took third.
She scored shortly thereafter on a
Lauren Quirke single to center for a 2-0
Hillsdale lead. Quirke was 2 for 3 with a
double and three RBIs.
The Knights increased their lead to 50 with three more runs in the bottom of
the fifth, with McCoy factoring into the
rally. MacKenzie Driscoll led off the
inning with a double to the right-center
field gap. Chan followed and put down
the perfect bunt. It hit about 18 inches
up the first-base line, briefly spun in
place and then stopped cold, giving
Chan a bunt single with Isabella Zalba,
running for Driscoll, moving to third.
Leadoff hitter Meagan Wells hit a sacrifice fly to left to plate Zalba. McCoy
followed with a bloop double, with
Chan moving to third. Quirke followed
with a booming, ground-rule double to
left-center to drive in Chan and McCoy

said. I paid the price for it and they got


a few hits off me. But my team was able
to get runs back and get the lead.
But the senior right-hander settled in
from there, keeping the middle of Live
Oaks order in check for the most past.
The No. 3-5 hitters went 2 for 10 in the
game for a Live Oak offense that batted
.298 as a team this season.
You always want to focus on their
big hitters, Hermann said. The middle
of the order, youre going to assume
theyre the best hitters. So, you want to
bear down and hit your spots as much as
you can.
Aragons comeback rally in the third
started with a double by leadoff man
Alex Athanacio. Franquez followed
with a one-out infield single before
Tanaka hit a potential double-play
grounder to third; but the third basemans throw pulled the second baseman off the bag, making everyone
safe on the play with Athanacio scoring. Herman followed with an infield
single and Franquez scored on an RBI
groundout by Jordan Tong.
Then Abbott reached on the shortstops throwing error before Ryan Field
capped the rally with an RBI single to
right.
Tanaka said playing from behind is
not a problem for the Dons.

We know what we can do, Tanaka


said. We know that were a good team.
We can hit. Weve come back a lot this
year. Just do it again.
Athanacio was 2 for 4 on the day with
a run scored and an RBI. After moving
into the leadoff spot April 24 against
Mills, the junior tabbed three multi-hit
performances over Aragons last seven
regular-season games. He also led off the
CCS opener against Soledad with a hit.
We noticed that week that hes been a
real spark, so we shook stuff up and we
took back off from there, Souza said.
Hes been so key for us.
Aragon added two insurance runs in
the fourth and two more in the seventh.
Hermann allowed five runs on seven
hits to notch the win, improving his
team-best record to 7-2.
We were surprised he gave up that
much, Souza said. Our pitching has
kind of been why weve gotten this far.
Weve been a big pitching team and we
had to win really tight games towards
the end of the season to get here.
With the win, Aragon advances to

and put the Knights up 5-0.


Then things got interesting as the
Woodside bats came to life. The Wildcats
scored twice in the top of the sixth to get
back in the game. With one out, Alex
Torres hit a comebacker to McCoy that
slipped through her legs allowing Torres
to reach. Following McCoys 10th
strikeout of the game, Stephanie
Schofield came to the plate and on a 0-2
count, rifled a ball into the right-center
field gap. Hillsdale center fielder Bailey
Nestor came flying across the outfield
grass and clipped right fielder Chan,
sending Nestor careening to the turf.
By the time Hillsdale relayed the ball
back to the infield, Schofield had a RBI
double.
Nestor came out of the game briefly,
but re-entered in the seventh.
Woodsides Kate Grech came to the
plate and drove in Schofield before
McCoy got out of the inning.
The Wildcats put the pressure right
back on the Knights in the top of the
seventh as Kelly James led off with a
single and Paige Blackwell drew a
walk to bring the tying run to the
plate. A ball that was bunted foul on
strike three gave McCoy the first out
of the inning, followed by a foul
popout to Quirke at third base. McCoy
then finished the game with a flourish,

getting her 12th punchout.


We always make it exciting,
McCoy said. They (Woodside) were
competitive. They wanted to win as
much as we did.

Notre Dame-Belmonts dream run still alive


By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The Cinderella playoff run by the Mills


softball team ended in the quarterfinals of
the Central Coast Section Division III tournament Saturday morning.
Notre Dame-Belmont, on the other hand,
is still in the running for the glass slipper.
The No. 4-seeded Tigers took advantage of
a shaky start by the fifth-seeded Vikings and
continued to add on throughout the game in
posting an 8-1 victory to advance to the
CCS semifinals.
The girls came out ready [Saturday], said
Notre Dame coach Tara Van Meter, who said
her biggest concern was how strong her
team would be mentally.
Once I saw how strong they came out, I
knew wed have a good game, Van Meter
said.
Notre Dame-Belmont (19-12) advances to
the semifinals with the victory and will face
top-seeded Notre Dame-Salinas at 4:30 p.m.
Tuesday at San Joses P.A.L. Stadium. The
Tigers have already beaten the CCS power
earlier this season, 9-5 in non-league game
March 14th.
The Tigers strong start Saturday was a
four-run bottom of the first inning that all
but doomed the Vikings chances. Mills (1813) committed a pair of errors on two of the
first three Tigers batters of the game and
that opened the door to four unearned runs.
Dani Kazakoff, who finished the game 3 for
4 with three runs scored, led off the bottom

of the first with a walk. Chloe Stogner followed with a sacrifice bunt that was thrown
away at first base. Another sacrifice bunt,
this time by Marina Sylvestri, was also mishandled at first, enabling Kazakoff to score.
Sofia Magnani followed with an RBI groundout and Lindsey Mifsud poked an RBI single
to right. Olivia Geronimo hit a ground-rule
double and Bianca Magnani drove in the
fourth run of the inning on a groundout.
Theyre good hitters, said Mills coach
Dana Ynostroza. Theyre a higher quality
team (than we have faced this season).
But if we cant get an out at first on a
bunt, we dont deserve to win.
The Tigers added two more runs in the bot-

tom of the second inning. With one out,


Kazakoff reached on an infield hit and
Stogner singled to left. Sylvestri walked to
load the bases. Sofia Magnani drove in
Kazakoff with a grounduout. Mifsud followed
with a walk. On ball four, the pitch sailed to
the backstop, allowing Stogner to score
from third.
In the fourth, Kazakoff singled to lead off
the inning and later scored on a Sofia
Magnani single to left. The Tigers rounded
out the scoring in the bottom of the fifth,
due in large part to two more Mills errors.
Bianca Magnani reached second on an
error,went to third on a wild pitch and scored
on the Vikings fourth error of the game.

The first one was 15 years ago and a stepping


stone to Formula One.
The second one came for a 39-year-old man
who proved JPM is back.
On Sunday, he twice drove from the back
of the field and fearlessly charged into the
final few laps as the leader in a race where few
wanted to be out front with the checkered flag
looming, and held off teammate Will Power.
That 2000 victory was easy, hes always

said so, and when a driver leads 167 of the 200


laps, it clearly was a relaxed Sunday drive.
Win No. 2 was a battle from the very
beginning. Montoya started 15th but an
accident on the first lap brought out the caution and Montoya was hit from behind by
Simona de Silvestro under yellow. He had to
pit to repair the damage and restarted second-to-last in the field.
After working his way back through the

That was more than enough offense for


Mifsud, who allowed one run on two hits in
five innings of work from the circle. Sofia
Magnani pitched the final two innings,
retiring all six batters she faced.
Mifsud made only one mistake during her
outing and it sent a buzz through the crowd.
Mills catcher Gabriella Zucchiatti, who was
named the Peninsula Athletic Leagues
Ocean Division Player of the Year, led off the
top of the second with a tape-measure shot
over the temporary fence in center field to
account for Mills lone run of the game.
Van Meter said she changed her approach
to Zucchiatti after that.
After that first one, I told [Mifsud], Give
her nothing good to hit, Van Meter said.
Mills had only one other hit in the game,
a one-out single from Caitlin Ung in the top
of the fifth inning.
We scored one run on [two hits]. Thats
why we lost the game, Ynostroza said. We
just didnt pressure them on defense.
Ung also made the play of the day defensively when she made a running catch in the
left-center field gap to rob Geronimo of possible extra bases in the bottom of the fifth
inning.

MLS brief
Quakes Wondolowski nets 100th goal
SANTA CLARA Chris Wondolowski
became the ninth MLS player to reach 100
goals, helping the San Jose
Earthquakes salvage a 1-1
draw with 10-man Orlando
City on Sunday night.
Wondoloski scored on a
penalty kick in the 68th
minute, tying it for the
Earthquakes (5-4-3). He
placed it confidently to the
left corner after catching
Chris
his former teammate, goalWondolowski keeper Tally Hall, guessing the wrong way. Wondolowski pumped his
fist and raced the ball back to kickoff, hardly
stopping to celebrate with his teammates.
Wondolowski, with 210 appearances,
became the second-fastest player behind Taylor
Twellman (174) to reach the century mark and
tied Edson Buddle for eighth on the goal list.

GATORS
Continued from page 11
Ive got a lot of faith in Spina, SHP manager Anthony Granato said. Hes got good
stuff. Im glad to see him turn the corner.
With Burlingame leading 5-0, the top of the
Gators batting order sparked a big rally in the
bottom of the third. SHP scored four times in
the inning to draw within a run, with each of
the first four hitters in the batting order reaching base. The rally would mark a trend as the
Gators would again go large in the sixth
inning, scoring six times, with each of the top
four batters in the order again reaching base.
Weve been very consistent, said Cole
March, SHPs No. 3 hitter, of the batting
orders performance from top to bottom this
season. There havent been a lot of ups and
downs. Everybody has been getting on base
with good at-bats. Thats been our mentality.

DRAGONS

THE DAILY JOURNAL


looked primed Saturday, creating seven
good scoring chances along with twice
missing on post balls.

Jamael Coxs second assist of the game.


Cox drove around the top of the goalkeepers box and found Castillo on the outlet.
Castillo nailed a cross-shot into the top
corner of the west goal to tie it.
The tie keeps the Dragons undefeated with
a record of 2-0-1. Entering into play
Saturday, they had yet to surrender a goal
with a pair of 1-0 victories over the Fuego
and Golden State Misioneros FC, respectively.
However, Taylor had to shake up his back
row with left back Luke Salmon having to
sit out Saturday after being slapping with a
red card May 17 against the Misioneros.
The new lineup caused for some costly mistakes, according to Taylor.
Burlingame got on the board first. At

approximately the 25th minute, Nacho


Verde got the ball to Cox, who headed it to
Ugo Uche for a touch into the east goal.
It was a beautiful one-touch goal over the
goalies head, Taylor said.
Fresno answered right back though when,
less than two minutes later, Burlingame was
called for a handball violation. The Fuego
converted the ensuing free kick to tie it 1-1.
To be honest with you we had a mental
lapse, Taylor said. And within a minute
and a half, they got a free kick on a very
lazy handball.
The goal opened the door for the Fuego,
who later took the lead on a through ball
approximately 15 minutes into the second
half. Taylor said the Dragons gave away the
momentum with the handball.
We scored the (first) goal and should
have had the momentum but kind of gave
that away because of the handball, Taylor
said. But we really worked hard.
Taylor said hes optimistic about the 14game season moving forward. The offense

March contributed to the two big rallies with


a sturdy left triceps. In twice getting hit by a
pitch, it was in the triceps of his front arm the
right-handed hitting March got hit both times.
In the third inning, leadoff man Mitch
Martella and Will Johnston served up backto-back singles to start the frame. After
March was hit by a pitch to load the bases,
cleanup hitter Andrew Daschbach scorched a
two-run down the left-field line to knock
Panthers starter Jacob Muhawieh out of the
game. The Gators produced two more runs in
the inning on RBI groundouts by John Van
Sweden and Joe Armstrong.
Daschbach was 1 for 2 in the game, reaching base three times. The one out he made was
a booming fly out to center field in the fifth
inning that was caught on the warning track.
Hes one of those guys everybody is looking to him and expecting him to do something great, Granato said.
Burlingame and SHP traded runs in the fourth
before the Gators rallied in the sixth. Even
with the early lead, Panthers manager Shawn
Scott said he was never comfortable playing

against the Burlingame alum Granato.


You cant be comfortable against a team
coached by Granato, Scott said.
In the sixth, Granatos lineup showed why.
Burlingame rode junior right-hander Alex
Waldsmith through the middle innings.
Waldsmith entered in the third in relief of
Muhawieh. Waldsmith earned a completegame victory in Burlingames 3-1 win over
St. Ignatius in last Wednesdays CCS opener.
As a result, in adhering to the CCS 10inning-per-week rule, he was available to
work just three innings Saturday.
Waldsmith departed, yielding one run on
two hits through three innings. Then SHP
took advantage of two wild Burlingame arms
in the sixth.
While sending 10 batters to the plate in
the fateful sixth, SHP manufactured just one
hit. But after a leadoff walk to Michael
York, the Gators produced a two-out rally to
surge into the lead.
With one on and two down, Martella and
Johnston drew back-to-back walks to load
the bases. Then March was hit by a pitch to

drive home York with the tying run.


Daschbach followed with a hit by pitch to
plate Martella with the go-ahead run. Van
Sweden walked to force home Johnston.
Armstrong then produced the big swing of the
bat with a bases-clearing, three-run double to
cap the days scoring.
I usually like the ball middle-away,
Armstrong said. I moved up on the plate, he
gave me one middle-away, and I just jumped

In pitching with the lead for the first time,
Spina responded by setting down the side in

Armstrong credited the relaxed atmosphere
in the SHP dugout for inspiring the comeback.

in Little League, Armstrong said.
With the win, SHP advances to Tuesdays

With the PDL depending primarily on


players from collegiate rosters, the Dragons
are still waiting to add four players from
Stanford.
Where were at right now is we have 38
guys on the team, Taylor said. The PDL is
about different colleges getting out at different times. Stanford players are going to be
joining us this week and, when they join us,
well be at full strength.
Next up for the Dragons is a pair of road
games. They travel to play the Ventura

California Seahorses May 31. Burlingame
returns home June 6 at 5 p.m. to host the

Comedian Anne Meara dead


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

few months ago, I predicted local


residents would begin bringing
perfectly healthy edgling birds
to our Wildlife Care Center. Birds who
require no care! Like clockwork, this has
been happening. We are receiving
healthy edglings daily, because the public incorrectly assumes the birds need
human intervention. If the bird is feathered and hopping on the ground, this is a
normal edgling. Odds are, the parents
have kicked the little one out as part of
the normal development process, and are
still providing food. If you nd a bird in
this state, make sure the edgling is safe
from cats, dogs and people. If so, leave
the area; the edgling is OK. If not, put
the bird in a bush or on a nearby tree
limb. Watch from a distance for an hour to
see if the parents visit. If so, this is normal and the bird requires no help. If the
parents dont return, call PHS/SPCA at
340-7022, ext. 414. If the bird you see
has no feathers, this is a nestling.
Carefully return this bird to the nest if
you can nd it and monitor to make
sure the parents are nearby. If you cant
nd a nest, bring this nestling to our center. A shoe box with air holes in the lid,
lined with a small towel but no food or
water will work for the transport. Lastly,
let me debunk a few myths. Orphaned
baby birds do not like to be cuddled and
talked to; they are terried of us and think
we are predators. Not being able to see or
hear us helps calm them. Second mythbuster: birds recognize their babies voices and will come when called. This is true!
Parents respond to the begging calls of
their young. Finally, it is true that birds
show no fear of babies that have been
touched by humans.

LOS ANGELES Anne Meara, the loopy,


lovable comedian who launched a standup
career with husband Jerry Stiller in the
1950s and found success as an actress in
films, on TV and the stage, has died.
Jerry Stiller and son Ben Stiller say Meara
died Saturday. No other details were provided.
The Stiller family released a statement to
The Associated Press on Sunday describing
Jerry Stiller as Mearas husband and partner in life.
The two were married for 61 years and
worked together almost as long, the statement said.
Born in Brooklyn on Sept. 20, 1929, she
was a red-haired, Irish-Catholic girl who
struck a vivid contrast to Stiller, a Jewish
guy from Manhattans Lower East Side who
was two years older and four inches shorter.
As Stiller and Meara, they appeared in
comedy routines that joked about married
life and their respective ethnic backgrounds. They logged 36 appearances on
The Ed Sullivan Show and were a successful team in Las Vegas, major nightclubs, on
records and in commercials (scoring big for
Blue Nun wine with their sketches on
radio).
They were beloved New Yorkers, well
known to their Upper West Side neighbors.
The marriage lasted, but the act was dissolved in the 1970s as Meara resumed the
acting career she had originally sought. She
appeared in such films as The Out-ofTowners, Fame, Awakenings and,
directed by her son, Reality Bites.
Meara was twice nominated for an Emmy
Award for her supporting role on Archie

Bunkers Place, along


with two other Emmy
nods, most recently in
1997 for her guest-starring role on Homicide.
She won a Writers Guild
Award for co-writing the
1983 TV movie The
Other Woman.
She also appeared in
Anne Meara
dozens of films and TV
shows, including a longtime role on All
My Children and appearances on Rhoda,
Alf and The King of Queens. She shared
the screen with her son in 2006s Night at
the Museum.
Meara also had a recurring role on CBS
Murphy Brown and on HBOs Sex and
the City. In 1975, she starred in CBS
Kate McShane, which, though shortlived, had the distinction of being the first
network drama to feature a woman lawyer.
She made her off-Broadway debut in 1971
in John Guares award-winning play The
House of Blue Leaves. A quarter-century
later, she made her off-Broadway bow as a
playwright with her comedy-drama, AfterPlay.
Meara was an aspiring 23year-old actress in 1953 when
she responded to a cattle
call by a New York agent
casting for summer stock.
After the agent chased her
around his office, she burst
into the waiting room, crying
and out of breath, where she
found Stiller, a fellow out-ofwork actor then 25.
I took her out for coffee,
Stiller recalled decades later.

She seemed to sense I had no money, so


she just ordered coffee. Then she took all
the silverware. I picked up her check for 10
cents and thought, This is a girl Id like to
hang out with.
Within a few months, they were wed.
But this was a mixed marriage referring
to their respective families, Meara said,
Nobody was thrilled when we got married,
absolutely nobody. But they accepted it,
she added with perfect comic timing:
Nobody sat shiva.
Despite her theater background, Meara,
with her bright eyes and cheeky smile, was
a quick study as a comedian when she and
Stiller performed in improv groups. Her
ability to adapt was all the more remarkable
since, back then, I was down on comedians. Growing up, I loved drama and fantasies. I hated the Marx Brothers. I took all
that confusion seriously.
The couple had an old-fashioned appeal
not unlike that of Burns and Allen, but
Stiller and Meara were thick into the 1950s
Beat Generation, an edgy, innovative arts
scene based in New Yorks Greenwich
Village, where they had an apartment.

Hes a bad man, said San Mateo County
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe, who is
prosecuting Halbower for the Gypsy Hill
killings.
Halbowers attorney did not return calls
seeking comment.
His brother said Halbower was often truant from school and didnt get along with
teachers or fellow students.
He was a loner, and he was mean, said
John Halbower, who still lives in
Muskegon. He was a bully.
But John Halbower said his brother never

It was during those five months, from his


release to his sentencing in Reno, that
authorities say he went on a killing spree in
the San Francisco Bay Area.
Halbower would never have been charged
with murder and linked to the five California
murders and the killing of a University of
Nevada nursing student in Reno had he not
escaped from prison in December 1986. He
stole and made his way to Oregon, where he
soon was arrested for rape and attempted
murder.
An Oregon jury convicted Halbower. He
was sentenced to a minimum of 15 years in
prison and returned to Nevada to finish his
prison term.

DNA sample

When Nevada paroled him in 2013, he was


sent back to Oregon, where prison officials
took a DNA sample and submitted it to a
national database investigators use to
revive stalled investigations.
Meanwhile, Reno police reopened an
investigation into the 1976 killing of a
nursing student found near the
University of Nevada. A
woman who confessed to murder spent 30 years in prison
for the crime, but evidence

mounted that she was mentally unfit and probably innocent.
So detectives took another
look and they found that

Dheepan wins Palme dOr in upset at Cannes


By Jake Coyle
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CANNES, France The 68th


Cannes Film Festival was brought
to a surprising close Sunday with
Jacques Audiards Sri Lankan
refugee drama taking the festivals
coveted top honor, the Palme
dOr.
The choice of Dheepan, as
selected by a jury led by Joel and
Ethan Coen, left some critics
scratching their heads. While the
dapper French filmmaker has
drawn widespread acclaim for
films such as A Prophet and
Rust and Bone, some critics
were disappointed by the thriller
climax
of Audiards
film.
Dheepan is about a trio of Sri
Lankans who pretend to be a family in order to flee their war-torn
country and are settled in a violent
housing project outside Paris.
This isnt a jury of film critics, Joel Coen told reporters after
the awards ceremony, alongside
fellow jurors like Guillermo del
Toro and Jake Gyllenhaal. This is
a jury of artists who are looking at
the work.
The win for Dheepan comes at
a time when Europe is particularly
attuned to the experience of immigrants, following the recent
deaths of hundreds crossing the
Mediterranean, seeking Italian
shores. Jury members, though,
said Dheepan was chosen for its
overall strength as a film, rather
than any topicality.
We all thought it was a very
beautiful movie, said Ethan
Coen, calling the decision

swift. Everyone had some high
level of excitement and enthusiasm for it.
Audiard, springing to the podium at the Palais des Festivals,
accepted the award with warm gratitude, bowing to the jury. He was
joined by the makeshift parents of
his film: Kalieaswari Srinivasan
and Antonythasan Jesuthasan,
who himself was Tamil Tiger child
soldier before finding political
asylum in France.
To receive a prize from the Coen
brothers is exceptional, said
Audiard, who added that only receiving one from the Luc and Jean-Pierre
Dardenne, the Belgian filmmaking
siblings, could equal it.

Councilwoman Diane Howard said, according to video from the meeting.

The runner-up prize, the Grand

Holocaust drama by first-time
Hungarian director Laszls Nemes.
Some expected Nemes horrifying
plunge into the life of an
Auschwitz worker to take the top
award, but its been 26 years since
a debut film (Steven Soderberghs
Sex, Lies, and Videotape) was
given the Palme.
English actress Sienna Miller
and Canadian actor Xavier Dolan,
both jury members, sounded especially moved by Son of Saul.
Miller called it breathtaking and
an extraordinary accomplishment
for a first-time filmmaker.

said Nemes. Thats something

Hou Hsiao-Hsien, the masterful
68-year-old Taiwanese filmmaker,
won best director for his first feature in eight years: The
Assassin, a lushly painterly martial arts drama.
The best actress prize was split
but not the way some expected. It
was given to both Rooney Mara,
half of the romantic pair of Todd
Haynes 50s lesbian drama
Carol, and Emmanuelle Bercot,
the French star of the roller coaster marriage drama My King.
(Bercot also directed the festival
opener, Standing Tall, about a
delinquent teenager. ) Any split
was presumed to go to Mara and
her Carol co-star,
Cate
Blanchett.
Best actor was awarded to
Vincent Lindon, the veteran
French actor of Stiphane Brizis
The Measure of a Man. He plays

after a long period of unemployment. The visibly moved Lindon
won over some big-name competition, including Michael Caine,

higher than the asking price to
increase their chances of landing a deal
in a market with an ever diminishing
housing stock, he said.
The pressure to overbid in an
extremely competitive market creates
anxiety for some potential buyers,
who may be uncertain whether their
assessed home value will rise to reach
the purchase price, he said.
But Virgilio said it is likely that concern is unfounded.
There is some fear in the marketplace from buyers that we are entering
another bubble, but there is no economic data that support that, he said.
Virgilio said it could be reasonable
to expect the market to drive upwards
for as long as the next three years,
which could push prices up to 25 percent higher, and leave the average
sales price of a home in the county
near $2 million.
Sellers are extremely happy, he
said.

SB 128 would require two doctors to
concur that a mentally competent
patient with six months or less to live
can be prescribed deadly drugs. The
patient would also have to discuss
other treatment options, and make
multiple written and oral requests for
the right to die.
Though the San Mateo County
Medical Association has not officially
expressed support for the Senate bill,
because it is still being amended, the
advocacy group does support the concept of physician aid-in dying.
Sue Malone, the associations executive director, said the publicity garnered by Maynards quest to gain
access to be prescribed life-ending
drugs was a catalyst to bring the issue
back to the state Legislature.
This is not the first time similar
legislation has been attempted in
California before, she said. But its
further than it has ever gotten.
California first sought to legalize
physician-aided death in 1992, and has

homes in the city of San Mateo have


increased $300,000 over the past year,
to $1.3 million at the end of April.
The median is the middle point of the
market, whereas the average is the
result of adding the prices and dividing
the number of the homes.
San Mateo trails neighboring communities such as Belmont, Foster City
and Burlingame, all of which have
median sales prices through the end of
last month above $1.5 million.
Burlingame has joined an exclusive
club of cities in the county that have a
median sales price of at least $2 million or higher, which also includes
Menlo Park, Atherton, Hillsborough,
La Honda, Woodside and Portola
Valley.
Michael Verdone, president of SAMCAR and a Realtor, noted that homes
in elite regions of the market are available, while much of what might be
considered the more affordable housing options are being snapped up as
soon as possible.
With starter homes, people are just
scrambling to be a player, he said.
Verdone said there is not a local
housing stock sufficient to quench the
seeming undying demand to live on
the Peninsula.

The local headquarters of technology


titans such as Facebook, Apple,
Google and a variety of other successful web-based companies who compensate their employees handsomely have
played a substantial role in keeping
the housing market blazing throughout the county and across the greater
Peninsula region, said Virgilio.
Many of the employees of these
companies, at times even colleagues,
are often the ones bidding against each
other in competition for purchasing a
new home, he said.
Virgilio said he has clients
employed at some of these notable
technology companies who relocated
from across the country and are experiencing severe cases of sticker shock in
regards to their inability to afford a
home in San Mateo County.
Its just nuts, he said.
And for those who cannot stand the
heat, many desirable alternatives still
exist elsewhere, said Virgilio.
There are still some good buys in
California, he said. Its just that the
Bay Area is so darn expensive.

made multiple unsuccessful attempts


since.
Personally, Im hopeful this will
get to the governors desk, Malone
said
The local groups support of what
has been referred to as physician
assisted suicide comes as the
California Medical Association
dropped its long-standing opposition
to the concept Wednesday, May 20.
Malone said the county association
maintains support for the necessity of
palliative medicine and hospice care
and consider those avenues crucial as a
patient approaches the end of their
life.
But momentum is mounting both in
California at large, as well as the medical profession, for legislation of this
nature, said Malone.
The thinking of not only the general public but medicine in general has
been swayed that maybe it is an appropriate time to consider this option,
under very stringent regulations, said
Malone.
But support for a physician aid-indying option is not unanimous,
according to Tim Rosales, spokesman
for Californians Against Assisted
Suicide.

This becomes the cheapest option


for medical care, he said. The fact
that some physicians are coming out
in support of this is frightening for
those individuals without access to
quality health care or insurance or
dont have the economic means to pay
for such.
Californians Against Assisted
Suicide is an advocacy group comprised of medical professionals, civil
rights groups and faith-based organizations that opposes end-of-life legislation, and intends to fight it on the
Senate floor.
We are going to mount a strong
opposition against it, and hopefully
we can defeat it in the Legislature, he
said.
But Malone noted that there is a
wave of momentum for the concept of
allowing terminally-ill people to
determine their own fate.
I believe that society at large has
been moving and shifting to the belief
that a patient has a right to make this
decision, in consultation with their
physician, she said.

ANSWERS

MONDAY, MAY 25, 2015


GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Someone else will try

assistance. Be agreeable, but keep your ideas a secret
until you are ready to unveil them.

help you get ahead in the business world. Time spent
interacting with colleagues in a relaxed atmosphere
will make them see you in a new light.

Freebies: Fill in single-box cages with the number in
the top-left corner.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Do a little soulsearching. Stop spinning your wheels and decide what
it is you want to accomplish. Once you establish a clear
path, everything else will fall into place.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Dont trust anyone to
be honest. Do your own fact-nding if you want to
discover the truth. Once you have all the details in
place, you will be able to move forward quickly.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Share your ideas
with a potential partner. You will receive helpful
