Ballots for fall election finalized

Extended candidate filing period closes; lengthy list of candidates, measures takes shape
By Anna Schuessler
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
In addition to a gubernatorial
campaign and 11 state proposi-
tions, Peninsula residents will
have a lengthy list of candidates
and measures to consider Nov. 6
after ballots for the fall election
were finalized Wednesday.
Though the first filing deadline
for local elections was Friday, an
extended candidate filing period
allowing candidates stepping for-
ward for races in which an incum-
bent chose not to run ended
Wednesday, solidifying the slate
of choices San Mateo County vot-
ers will weigh this fall.
From congressional representa-
tives and state legislators to lead-
ers in school districts and city
councils, the list of candidates
throwing their hat in the ring this
November is incumbent-heavy,
though several challengers are
vying for space at the dais in the
coming years.
Among those with a handful of
new faces is the Redwood City
Council race, in which Stanford
University community relations
professional Jason Galisatus,
businesswoman Giselle Hale, cer-

Diana Reddy, businessman Ernie
Schmidt and small business owner

Councilmen Jeff Gee and John

terms while incumbent Vice
Mayor Diane Howard is seeking

Report: SEC subpoenas Tesla Police reports
Is this an old case?
about CEO Musk’s buyout plans
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Someone stole $1,000 worth of wine
on East Fourth Avenue in San Mateo, it
was reported at 6:07 p.m. Monday, July
23.

SAN FRANCISCO — Government regula-

tors have subpoenaed Tesla as they dig deep-
er into CEO Elon Musk’s recent disclosure
about a potential buyout of the electric car
maker, according to media reports.
The subpoena from the Securities and
Exchange Commission demands informa-
tion from each of Tesla’s nine directors,
according to a story published Wednesday in
The Wall Street Journal . The newspaper
cited an unidentified person familiar with
the matter after Fox Business News reported
the SEC’s move.
Both Tesla and the SEC declined to com-
ment Wednesday.
The SEC opened an inquiry shortly after
Musk surprised investors with an August 7
tweet revealing that he had lined up the
financing to buy all the Tesla stock from
shareholders willing to sell.
The subpoena signals regulators have
now opened a formal investigation into
whether Musk was telling the truth in his
tweet about have financing locked up for a
deal that analysts have estimated would
require $25 billion to $50 billion.
Under a scenario sketched out by Musk in
a Monday blog post , the deal would cost at
the lower end of those estimates. Musk also
revealed in the same post that he had been
talking to Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth
fund about providing the money for a buy-
out that would end Tesla’s eight-year history
as a publicly held company, but he added
that the financing was still contingent on
due diligence.
Corporate governance experts say that

ed, a contradiction that could be used to
prove he deliberately misled investors

with his tweet.
After Musk dropped his bombshell,
Tesla’s stock surged 11 percent in one day,
damaging a class of investors who had been
betting the company’s shares would
decline. Musk has had a long-running battle
with that group of investors, who are
known as “short sellers” in Wall Street’s
parlance.

Meanwhile, Tesla’s board has formed a
three-person committee to assess a poten-

Finance officials had estimated California would bank $185 million from excise and cultivation
taxes but collections by midyear hit only $82 million.
Pot taxes pick up in state
but off to a sluggish start
By Michael R. Blood
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — When it comes to the
taxman, California’s legal pot market is off
to a sluggish start.
Marijuana cultivation and excise tax col-
lections hit $48 million between April and
June, state officials announced Wednesday.
That’s a jump from the prior three months
but well below the windfall envisioned by
the state.
Finance officials had estimated California
would bank $185 million from excise and
cultivation taxes in the first six months of
broad legal sales, which kicked off Jan. 1.
But collections by midyear hit only $82
million.
“After six months of legal cannabis sales
there is a staggering ... gap between today’s
tax revenue numbers and what voters were
promised,” said state Assemblyman Evan
Low, a Democrat from Campbell who heads
the Business and Professions Committee.
“Regulators must adapt before California’s

lawful cannabis businesses are obliterated
by the black market.”
The slower than expected flow of cash
underscores the bumpy roll-out of the
nation’s largest legal market.
Illicit sales continue to flourish, luring
consumers away from legal shops.
Meanwhile, many areas have banned com-
mercial pot activity, limiting the number of
places adults can buy legal cannabis.
Businesses say hefty tax rates that can
approach 50 percent in some areas are also
driving business underground.
“The situation is pretty severe, ” said
Hezekiah Allen, executive director of the
California Growers Association, an advoca-
cy group for farmers and businesses.
Californians are buying plenty of
cannabis, Allen says, they are just not buy-
ing it from licensed shops.
“Most of the state doesn’t have access to
it,” Allen added. “The California market-
place needs significant change if it’s
going to function ... primarily at the local
level.”

Trump pulls ex-CIA
chief’s clearance,
hitting vocal critic
By Jill Colvin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump
abruptly revoked the security clearance of ex-
CIA Director John Brennan on Wednesday, an
unprecedented act of retribution against a
vocally critical former top U.S. official.
Trump also threatened to yank the clear-
ances of a handful of individuals, including
former top intelligence and law enforce-
ment officials, as well as a current member
of the Justice Department. All are critics of
the president or are people whom Trump
appears to believe are against him.
Trump in a statement denounced Brennan’s
criticism and spoke anxiously of “the risks
posed by his erratic conduct and behavior.”
The president described his own action as ful-
filling his “constitutional responsibility to
protect the nation’s classified information.”

Victims want a
full reckoning
By Denise Lavoie
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Six Roman Catholic dioceses in
Pennsylvania joined the list this week of
those around the U.S. that have been forced
to face the ugly truth about child-molesting
priests in their ranks.
But in dozens of other dioceses, there has
been no reckoning, leading victims to won-
der if the church will ever truly take respon-
sibility or be held accountable.
“It happens everywhere, so it’s not really
so much a question of where has it hap-
pened, but instead, where has word gotten
out, where is information about it accessi-
ble?” said Terry McKiernan, founder of
BishopAccountability. org,
Massachusetts-based nonprofit group that
a Bishops accused of brushing
tracks clergy sexual abuse cases.
Since the crisis exploded in Boston in
2002, dioceses around the country have
dealt with similar revelations of widespread
sexual abuse, with many of them forced to
come clean by aggressive plaintiffs’ attor-
neys, assertive prosecutors or relentless
journalists.
In a few instances, namely in Tucson,
Arizona, and Seattle, dioceses voluntarily
named names.
Dioceses in Boston; Los Angeles;
Seattle; Portland, Oregon; Denver; San
Diego; Louisville, Kentucky; and Dallas
have all paid multimillion-dollar settle-
ments to victims. Fifteen dioceses and three
Catholic religious orders have filed for
bankruptcy to deal with thousands of law-
suits.
Still, only about 40 of the nearly 200 dio-
ceses in the U.S. have released lists of
priests accused of abusing children, and
there have been only nine investigations
by a prosecutor or grand jury of a Catholic
diocese or archdiocese in the U.S., accord-
ing to BishopAccountability.org.
In many of the dioceses that have been
examined, the numbers have been stagger-
ing: in the six Pennsylvania dioceses, 300
abusive priests and more than 1,000 vic-
tims since the 1940s; in Boston, at least
250 priests and more than 500 victims.
All told, U.S. bishops have acknowledged
that more than 17,000 people nationwide
have reported being molested by priests and
others in the church going back to 1950.
Phil Saviano, a Massachusetts man who
said he was sexually abused by a priest in
1960s beginning at age 11, said he hopes
the grand jury report in Pennsylvania will
prompt attorneys general in other states to
conduct similar investigations.

Church helped accused
priest get job at Disney
By Marc Levy
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HARRISBURG, Pa. — A sweeping grand
jury report into child sexual abuse in
Roman Catholic dioceses in Pennsylvania
said church officials gave a former priest a
positive reference to work at Disney
World, even though they’d fielded at least
one allegation about him sexually abusing
a boy.
The ex-priest, Edward Ganster, left the
priesthood in 1990, moved to the Orlando
area and went on to work at Disney World
before he died in 2014.
The report said Ganster worked at the
theme park for 18 years. Ganster drove the
train at the Magic Kingdom, according to
an obituary in the Orlando Sentinel, which
said Ganster worked there for 15 years.
Disney World did not respond to a request
for information.
Ganster, who became a priest in 1971,
was working at St. Joseph’s Church in
Easton in the late 1970s when a woman
complained to a monsignor that Ganster
had gotten in bed with her 13-year-old son
on an overnight trip and “hurt” him, the
report said. The boy also told his mother
NEW OFFICE LOCATION
in San Francisco
that “something happened” in the confes-
sion booth, it said.
The monsignor told her Ganster would be
given counseling and Ganster was prompt-
ly reassigned, the report said.
About a decade later, Ganster was on sick
leave at a Catholic mental health hospital
as he sought to leave the priesthood and
get married.
Ganster wrote the Diocese to say he
would apply for a job at Disney World and
wanted to use the Diocese as a reference,
the report said.
Allentown’s bishop, Thomas Welsh,
wrote to Orlando’s bishop that Ganster’s
problems were “partially sexual” and that
he couldn’t reassign him. A monsignor
separately assured Ganster that he would
get a positive reference.
“I am quite sure that the Diocese will be
able to give you a positive reference in
regard to the work you did during your years
of service here as a priest,” the monsignor
wrote, according to the report.
A diocese spokesman, Matt Kerr, said he
knows of no reference letter, or if one was
written.
“That should not have happened,” Kerr
said. “It would not happen today.”

HARRISBURG, Pa. — A priest raped a 7-
year-old girl while visiting her in the hos-
pital after she had her tonsils removed.
Another priest forced a 9-year-old boy into
having oral sex, then rinsed out the young-
ster’s mouth with holy water. One boy was
forced to say confession to the priest who
sexually abused him.
An estimated 300 Roman Catholic priests
in Pennsylvania molested more than 1,000
children — and possibly many more —
since the 1940s, according to a scathing
Pennsylvania grand jury report released
Tuesday that accused senior church officials,
including the man who is now archbishop
of Washington, D.C., of systematically
covering up complaints.
The “real number” of victimized children
and abusive priests might be higher since
some secret church records were lost and
some victims never came forward, the grand
jury said in the report that is the largest of
its kind in the United States.
U.S. bishops adopted widespread reforms
in 2002 when clergy abuse became a nation-
al crisis for the church, including stricter
requirements for reporting accusations to
law enforcement and a streamlined process
for removing clerics. But the grand jury said
more changes are needed.
“Despite some institutional reform, indi-
vidual leaders of the church have largely
escaped public accountability,” the grand
jury wrote in the roughly 900-page report.

Suicide bomber targets Shiite
students in Kabul, killing 48
By Rahim Faiez and Amir Shah
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KABUL, Afghanistan — A suicide
bomber struck a private education
center in a Shiite neighborhood of
Kabul on Wednesday where high
school graduates were preparing for
university entrance exams, killing 48
young men and women and leaving
behind a scene of devastation and
tragedy.
The bombing, blamed on the
Islamic State group, was the latest
assault on Afghanistan’s Shiite com-
munity, which has increasingly been
targeted by Sunni extremists who con-
sider Shiites to be heretics.
It also showed how militants are
still able to stage large-scale attacks,

seen Taliban attacks kill scores of
Afghan troops and civilians.
It was not immediately clear how the
bomber managed to sneak into the
building, used by the Shiite communi-
ty as an education center, in the Dasht-
i Barcha area of Kabul.
The spokesman for the public health
ministry, Wahid Majroh, said 67 peo-
ple were also wounded in the bombing
and that the death toll — which steadi-
ly rose in the immediate aftermath of
the bombing — could rise further. He
did not say if all the victims were stu-
dents and whether any of their teachers
were also among the casualties.
Dawlat Hossain, father of 18-year-

he said. After finding out that his

Key ruling due for women
on trial in Kim Jong Nam killing
SHAH ALAM, Malaysia — Two Southeast Asian women
on trial for the brazen assassination of the North Korean
leader’s half brother arrived at a
Malaysian court Thursday to hear a
judge’s decision on whether to call them
to enter their defense or acquit them of
murder.
A defense phase of the trial could take
several more months. If they are acquit-
ted, they may not be freed right away as
prosecutors could appeal as well as push
Siti Aisyah forward with separate charges for over-
staying their visas.
Indonesia’s Siti Aisyah, 25, and
Vietnam’s Doan Thi Huong, 29, are
accused of smearing VX nerve agent on
Kim Jong Nam’s face in an airport termi-
nal in Kuala Lumpur on Feb. 13, 2017.
The women have said they thought they
were taking part in a prank for a hidden-
camera show.
During the six-month trial, prosecu-
Doan Huong tors have laid out a murder plot involv-
ing four suspected North Korean govern-
ment agents who recruited and trained the two women and
provided them with the VX used to kill Kim. All four fled the
country the same morning Kim was killed.
The two young Southeast Asian women are the only sus-
pects in custody and face the death penalty if convicted.
Airport security footage shown in court captured the
moment of the attack and prosecutors said linked the
women to the other suspects. Shortly after Kim arrived at
the airport, Huong was seen approaching him, clasping her
hands on his face from behind and then fleeing. Another
blurred figure was also seen running away from Kim and a
police investigator testified that it was Aisyah.
Kim died within two hours of the attack.
Foe accused by Maduro says
Venezuela military is fracturing
BOGOTA, Colombia — The exiled opposition leader
accused by Venezuelan authorities of directing a failed plot
to assassinate President Nicolas Maduro
says the greatest threat to the embattled
socialist leader may be his detractors in
uniform standing quietly behind him.
Julio Borges, who once led Venezuela’s
opposition-controlled National
Assembly, said Tuesday that the arrests
of two high-ranking military officers in
connection with the attack using drones
Nicolas Maduro loaded with plastic explosives is yet
another signal that fractures within the
nation’s armed forces are growing.
“The conflict today is within the gov-
ernment — not just at the political level,
but more importantly within the armed
forces,” Borges said in an interview with
the Associated Press in Colombia’s capi-
tal.
His comments came hours after
Venezuela’s chief prosecutor announced
Julio Borges the arrest of Gen. Alejandro Perez and
Col. Pedro Zambrano from Venezuela’s
National Guard as part of the investigation into the Aug. 4
attack. Their alleged roles were not described.
Authorities said they have arrested 14 people so far while
Borges and other alleged conspirators are being sought.

Stocks fall as investors fret about China’s growth

By Marley Jay
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Deepening wor-
ries about global economic
growth, particularly in China, set
off a rout in riskier assets includ-
ing technology stocks, copper
and crude oil Wednesday. U. S.
retailers took a drubbing after
Macy’s reported weaker sales.
An unexpected drop in profits
for Chinese tech giant Tencent
surprised investors and added to
some recent concerns about the
health of China’s economy.
Tencent, a gaming and messaging
company, is the most valuable
technology company in China.
Earlier this week, reports on
growth in factory output, con-
sumer spending and retail sales in
China were all slower than expect-
ed.
Large technology companies
including Alibaba and Baidu of
China and U.S. tech giants includ-

Oil prices sank and copper
plunged to its lowest price in a
year as investors worried about the
health of the global economy. The
S&P 500 index had its biggest
decline since late June while tradi-
tionally safe investments like
bonds and high-dividend stocks
rose.
“This year we’ve seen slower
growth. Everyone expected that,”
said Kate Warne, an investment
strategist for Edward Jones. “Over
the last couple of months it looks
like growth has been slower than
everyone expected.”
The S&P 500 slid 21.59 points,

U.S. retail sales rose at robust
0.5 percent annual rate in July
By Christopher Rugaber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Americans shopped at a
healthy pace in July, buying more cars,
clothes and appliances, evidence that con-
sumers are helping drive robust economic
growth.
Retail sales rose at a 0.5 percent annual
rate in July, after a 0.2 percent increase the
previous month, the Commerce Department
said Wednesday. June’s increase, though,
was revised lower from a previous estimate
of a 0.5 percent annual rate.
Consumers appear to be feeling upbeat
and are in overall solid financial shape. The
unemployment rate is near an 18-year low.
And economic growth, along with hiring,
has accelerated. On average, Americans are
saving more, which may encourage future
spending.
Sales last month rose at auto dealers and
grocery stores and jumped at clothing
shops. Americans boosted their spending at
restaurants and bars at a 1.3 percent in July
Twitter CEO mulls deeper changes
By Barbara Ortutay
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — A day after Twitter gave
right-wing conspiratorialist Alex Jones a
weeklong timeout, CEO Jack Dorsey is
mulling deeper changes to the social media
service that might limit the spread of fake
news, misinformation and hate speech.
Twitter joined other prominent tech compa-
nies in muzzling Jones, the founder of the
Infowars site, who has used Twitter and other
social outlets to spread false information.
Twitter had resisted the move despite public
pressure, but the holdout lasted less than two
weeks.
“They seem to be reacting to the backlash
they received when so many other companies
in Silicon Valley ended up taking action,”
said Keegan Hankes, research analyst for the
Southern Poverty Law Center’s Intelligence
Project, who focuses on far right extremist
propaganda online. “It’s illustrative of a
from June. Gas station sales increased at a
0.8 percent annual rate from a month earlier.
Spending at restaurants and bars has
jumped nearly 10 percent from a year earlier.
That’s a bigger increase than for online
shopping, which rose 8.7 percent from a
year ago.
It also bolsters the notion that many
Americans feel they have enough money to
spend on non-necessities.
“Restaurants are a highly discretionary
category, and continued strength suggests
that households are not too worried about
higher gas prices and that tax cuts are pro-
viding a cushion against higher expenses at
the pump,” Ellen Zentner, an economist at
Morgan Stanley, said in a research note.
Department stores, which have suffered
falling sales and bankruptcies for much of
the past two years, reported a surprisingly
healthy sales gain of 1.2 percent. Macy’s
said Wednesday that sales at stores that have
been open for at least a year rose unexpect-
edly in the quarter that ended Aug. 4, its third
straight quarterly gain.

enforcement” by the com-
panies, he added.
Then on Wednesday,
Dorsey told the
Washington Post that he
is exploring changes to
core elements of Twitter’s
service that could pro-
Jack Dorsey mote alternative perspec-
tives in its timeline. The
move could address falsehoods, conspiracy
theories and other misinformation, and might
also reduce online “echo chambers,” in which
users are exposed mostly to viewpoints they
already agree with.
The CEO said the “most important thing
that we can do” is to revisit the incentives
Twitter uses to shape how people behave on
the service. “Because they do express a point
of view of what we want people to do — and I
don’t think they are correct anymore,” he said
Twitter later confirmed Dorsey’s comments.

Lee becoming a complete player
‘The Mick’ of Mateo Appreciate
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
If you’re going to be the namesake of
Mickey Mantle — the greatest switch-hitter
to ever play the game — you need at least
give switch-hitting a try.
Mickey McDonald embraced hitting from
both sides of the plate from an early age. A
natural righty, he was batting in the yard at
age 7 with his father Ray when he switched
up to take some cuts from the left side.
Now a 23-year-old minor league with the
Oakland A’s Low-A affiliate Beloit
Snappers, McDonald is a lifelong switch-
hitter. And in his first full year of profes-
sional baseball, the San Mateo native con-
tinues to establish himself as an on-base
and base-stealing threat.
“That’s always been the biggest thing for
me is getting on base,” McDonald said.
“From there I can find a way to get into scor-
ing position.”
As a graduate of Serra in 2013, McDonald
learned the value of on-base percentage. In
sharing a West Catholic Athletic League
regular-season championship with St.
Francis that season, the Padres posted a
.407 team OBP, the first time the program
reached the .400 plateau in the composite-
bat era that started in 2011. Only two Serra
teams have surpassed the .400 OBP mark
since: in 2016 (.423) and ’18 (.421).
The 2013 Serra team was so loaded with
talent, though, McDonald not only ranked a
mere seventh on the team in the stat, his
.378 OBP was well below the team mark.
Now, entering play Thursday for Beloit,
McDonald ranks 12th in all the Midwest
League with a .361 OBP, and is using his
legs to create run-scoring opportunities
with 22 steals — a career-high for every
level at which he’s played, including his
two varsity seasons at Serra and his three
years of Division I college ball at the
University of Illinois at Chicago.
“I’m green light, and I’ve always been a
green light,” McDonald said. “I can just go
out there and run like a chicken with my
head cut off.”
At 6-4, 180 pounds, McDonald has
learned to use his legs in recent years. His

Seattle downs A’s in 12
By Michael Wagaman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAKLAND — Dee Gordon doesn’t have
many home runs this season. Two to be
exact. So when Seattle’s light-hitting utili-
ty player muscled up in the 12th inning, he
celebrated by kissing both biceps as he
stood in the dugout after crossing home
plate.
It was a good-natured gesture toward a few
of Gordon’s teammates who were ribbing
him as he rounded the bases. It was also an
expression of relief for the Mariners, who
lost the first two games of this series after
sweeping first-place Houston on the road.
Gordon homered off Yusmeiro Petit to
break a scoreless tie, and the Mariners beat
the Oakland Athletics 2-0 on Wednesday to
avoid a three-game sweep.
“I got lucky,” Gordon said. “It’s evening
out. I’ve been lining out so much the last
month.”
Jean Segura had four hits to help the
Mariners close within 2 1/2 games of the A’s
for the second AL wild-card spot.
“We needed to get this ballgame today,”
Seattle manager Scott Servais said. “It’s not
going to get any easier, but we’re starting to
play with our confidence again and have

Seattle’s Mike Leake
pitched eight innings of
two-hit ball with six
strikeouts and one walk.
Oakland’s Brett Anderson
went 7 2/3 innings with-
out allowing a run in his
longest outing since
June 16, 2015.
Dee Gordon Nick Martini had three
hits for the A’s and Matt Olson added two.
Oakland entered the day one game behind
first-place Houston.
“In games like that, typically what hap-
pens, it’s one pitch,” A’s manager Bob
Melvin said. “That was the case today. Even
though today was tough, we have to look at
it as a positive. We took the series.”
Both teams squandered numerous scoring
opportunities before Seattle scraped togeth-
er two runs on one hit.
After Petit (5-3) got leadoff man Denard
Span to ground out, Mike Zunino walked.
Gordon hit the next pitch over the right-field
wall. Then he flexed and kissed his biceps.

the present
I
t wasn’t too long ago that a lot of
baseball pundits — myself included
— were assessing the playoff
chances of the local pro teams.
At the time, the San Francisco Giants
were five or six games out of a postsea-
son spot. The Oakland A’s, on the other
hand, despite already several games over
.500, seemed like a
longshot to get into
the playoff race.
Critics at the time
whined that June was
too early to start

League Baseball
playoff races, but it’s
summer and column
fodder is scarce.
Well, now we’re
down to the final
quarter of the regular
season and, while
the Giants continue to tread water around
the .500 mark and are still, theoretically,
in the race, the A’s are right in the thick
of things. Despite a 2-0, 12-inning loss
to the Mariners Wednesday, Oakland is in
prime position to not just make the play-
offs, but has a shot at winning the
American League West Division title.
It was a longshot two months ago
when Houston held an 11-game lead.
Even the then second-place Mariners
were seven games ahead for the wild-card
spot. But the A’s are 38-13 over their last
51 games. They overtook Seattle for the
second in the division — and the second
wild-card berth — and enjoy a 2-plus
game lead over the Mariners and are
breathing down the collective necks of
the Astros, who are just a game-and-a-
half ahead after Oakland’s loss
Wednesday.

Raiders’ Lee steps up in training camp
By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NAPA — Marquel Lee wasn’t quite ready to
end the revolving door at middle linebacker
for the Oakland Raiders when he was thrown
into the starting lineup to start his rookie
season last year.
With a year of experience and a defensive
scheme that better suits his game, Lee is
doing his best to seize that role this season
even after the Raiders brought in veteran
Derrick Johnson to be the likely starter.
Lee has spent most of training camp as
Oakland’s middle linebacker in the base
defense and was one of the team’s best defen-
sive players in the exhibition opener last
week against Detroit when he had three solo
tackles and two assists in just 15 snaps.
“There is a guy that really stepped up,”
coach Jon Gruden said. “He had a great game.
He’s physical. I think he’s more and more of
a complete linebacker. He’s getting more
comfortable in pass coverage. I think he’s a
presence in the middle of our defense right
now. It’s something that is not going unno-
ticed with his teammates and coaches.”
Lee showed signs of being stout against
the run when he started the first five games
last year as a fifth-round draft pick. But he
struggled in coverage and the Raiders
brought in veteran NaVorro Bowman to take
over as starter in Week 6 and Lee played only
sparingly the rest of the way.
Tempers flare as 49ers, Texans practice
By Kristie Rieken
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON — There was plenty of intensi-
ty on Wednesday when the Houston Texans
and San Francisco 49ers met in the first of
two joint practices before this weekend’s
preseason game.
A little too much in fact, with Houston
receiver DeAndre Hopkins and 49ers safety
Jimmie Ward being kicked out of practice
after getting into a scuffle on the first play
of receiver drills.
Ward got under the helmet of Hopkins and
knocked it off as he was covering him
before Hopkins made the catch on a pass
thrown by Deshaun Watson.
The two then began pushing each other
and some punches were thrown, though
none of them landed, and the pair was soon
on the ground surrounded by teammates,
including Richard Sherman, appearing to
try and break things up. Order was quickly
restored and both players left the practice
field.
The incident came after both coaches told
their players that such behavior in these
practices would have consequences.
“We made it very clear that if anyone
throws punches or you do anything that
would get you ejected in the game, you’ll be
done with practice,” San Francisco defen-
sive coordinator Robert Saleh said.
Houston coach Bill O’Brien wasn’t as
keen on talking about the fracas as Saleh,
but did have a terse response to what he
SPORTS
But Lee looks like a different player in
year two and Gruden said he sees the poten-
tial for him to become a three-down line-
backer. Lee said he feels much more confi-
dent in coach Paul Guenther’s defense than
he did last year when Ken Norton Jr. was
coordinator.
“I’m playing faster,” Lee said. “I’m seeing
things faster and diagnosing things and
playing with more instinct. I’m more com-
fortable in the defense. I know where I need
to be, which allows me to fit the run well and
just make plays.”
The Raiders signed veteran Derrick
Johnson in May with the thought of making
him the starter but Lee has gotten more time
so far in camp with Johnson playing a lim-
ited role in sub packages.
Finding a middle linebacker has been diffi-
cult for Oakland in recent years.
The Raiders drafted Rolando McClain in
the first round in 2010 with hopes he would
solidify that spot for years to come. But
McClain lost his starting job midway
through the 2012 season and the Raiders
have been searching for a long-term answer
ever since.
Nick Roach filled that role in 2013 but
then suffered a career-ending concussion the
following preseason. Miles Burris took
over in 2014 but wasn’t up to the task and
the Raiders signed Curtis Lofton the follow-
ing season.
Lofton struggled in the passing game and

“It’s ridiculous,” he said. “Just have to

O’Brien wasn’t the only one that didn’t
have much to say about it.
“Just competition,” Watson said. “That’s
all I’m really going to speak on that.”
Saleh was disappointed that it happened
for a variety of reasons.

levels,” he said. “One, you don’t get to face

a guy like Hopkins. But it’s a trickle-down
effect because now other people have to
pick up Jimmie’s reps and I’m sure on their
side receivers had to pick up for Hopkins.
So, it’s something that they’ve got to be
aware of. It’s a real thing. If you get ejected
in the game, it’s a trickle-down effect all the
way through.”

Oakland overhauled the position this off-
season, signing Tahir Whitehead and
Emmanuel Lamur, who have been starting on
the outside, as well as adding Johnson.
Lamur played for Guenther in Cincinnati
and has helped his teammates make the tran-
sition to a new system.
“I feel like we’ve had a chance to grow as a
core together, going through offseason
workouts, and then summer workouts, and
then into training camp,” Lee said. “Just
being around each other all the time and
stuff, grow as a core, we have each other’s
backs out there. Also having Emmanuel,
he’s been in the system for a long time,
since he came out of college. He’s a great
help. He knows the ins and outs, and if we
have a question we go to him — or any of the
guys — but Emmanuel for sure knows the ins
and outs of this defense.”

Roberts and WR Martavis Bryant all returned
to practice. Bryant had missed two days with
an illness. “We’re calling Martavis the
‘White Tiger,”’ Gruden said. “Thirteen times
I went to Busch Gardens. The white tiger was
always in his cage. Well, the white tiger
came out today. Bryant came out. I don’t

knee injury.
“Just find some new ways to get better,”
he said. “Seeing different looks, going
against different competition, different
guys that are showing different techniques
and just try to improve as an offense and
build our chemistry going against other
guys.”
O’Brien said he didn’t want to evaluate
Watson’s work on Wednesday before review-
ing the film, but did say that he’s been
impressed with how he’s worked every day
during camp.
“Training camp’s really hard,” O’Brien
said. “You don’t know what you’re going to
see. You have to apply your rules play-in
and play-out. I think he does a great job of
that. He thinks about the game, does a real-
ly good job at the line of scrimmage. I’m
really happy he’s our quarterback.”
Also, on Wednesday, 49ers rookie receiv-
er Dante Pettis had a special guest as his dad
and Houston Astros third base coach Gary
Pettis watched practice before heading
downtown for his team’s game against the
Colorado Rockies.
The elder Pettis said he was excited to
watch his son work, but disappointed that
he’d be out of town with the Astros for his
game against the Texans on Saturday night.
The visit came a day after his son donned
some Astros gear and took batting practice
at Minute Maid Park before Tuesday night’s
game.

Japan chasing Little League World Series repeat

By Tommy Butler
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — People in
the Japanese city of Kawaguchi have long
memories.
They still recall the last time a team from
this town north of Tokyo made it to the
Little League World Series, ultimately los-
ing to Georgia in the 2006 final.
“A lot of people (in Kawaguchi) say
‘2006. Don’t forget about it, get the title
back to Japan,”’ manager Hiroyuki
Takahashi said through an interpreter.
Doesn’t matter to these players as they
chase a second straight world title for Japan
— the oldest kids were infants back in 2006.
Today, representing Japan comes with
expectations.
Japanese teams at the Little League
World Series have returned home as victors
five of the last eight years, and have the
second-most championship victories all-
time with 11, only behind the 17 won by
Taiwan.
A team from Tokyo last year cruised
through the international bracket, then
beat a team from Lufkin, Texas, by mercy
rule in the championship.
Takahashi was nonchalant when asked if
his team felt any pressure to continue that
dominance.

said Takahashi. “I’m not sure of the defen-
sive stats, but our defense is also very
decent.”
Kawaguchi has a little time to work on any
weaknesses ahead of its first game against
Europe-Africa representative Barcelona on
Friday.
Third baseman Shinji Furusawa doesn’t
think his team has anything more than
minor tweaks to make ahead of competition.
“We scored the 45 runs while in the Japan
Regional Tournament,” Furusawa said, also
through an interpreter. “We are capable of
defeating these teams.”
Takahashi said he’s noticed one disadvan-
tage for his team — there’s only one player
taller than 5-foot-5. Japan’s first baseman,
Masato Igarashi, is the tallest at 5-foot-9.
“I think Japan is very skilled and they
have good accuracy,” Takahashi said. “But
some other teams have bigger bodies so we
don’t know what kind of baseball they play.”
Still, the first few days for the teams in
Pennsylvania have been more about fun than
scouting.
“There are really a lot of different teams, so
we’re just trying to make friends,” he said.
“Team Australia gave us T-shirts with all of
the players’ autographs on them, so we took
a picture with them. It’s really good that
international teams are making friends.”
Make no mistake, even while he’s con-
necting with players coming from across the
world and across language barriers, Japan’s
catcher Masaumi Ikeuchi still has his mind
on the diamond.
“We want to show the performance we have
(in us),” Ikeuchi said. “We want to have the
first score.”
BATTER UP: The tournament is scheduled
to start Thursday afternoon with Puerto Rico
taking on South Korea. Central Pennsylvania
has had an unusually rainy summer, which has
organizers and volunteers hoping for a break
in the weather through Aug. 26, when the
championship game is scheduled.

Johnny Manziel placed under
concussion protocol by Alouettes
MONTREAL — Johnny Manziel was
placed under the Canadian Football League’s
concussion protocol Wednesday.
The Montreal Alouettes quarterback was
hit at the goal line last weekend in a 24-17
loss at Ottawa.
“On Tuesday morning, Johnny Manziel
mentioned to our medical staff that he felt
symptoms that could be associated with the
Sports briefs
prescribed medication he uses for a previ-
ously diagnosed medical condition,” the
Alouettes said in a statement. “He then
missed practice in order to have some blood
work done.
The 2012 Heisman Trophy winner strug-
gled in his CFL debut against Hamilton,
throwing four first-half interceptions, then
was much better against the Redblacks. He
did fumble after taking the big hit, but
Montreal recovered for a touchdown.
The Alouettes are at Edmonton on
Saturday night.
Montreal is 1-7 this season and has won
just once in 19 games going back a year.

senior year at Serra, he totaled just seven
stolen bases. He began to gain traction at
Illinois-Chicago, but just as he was making
a name for himself — he was named an All-
Horizon League third baseman as a sopho-
more in 2015 — his momentum was derailed
by a shoulder injury, costing him the entire
2016 season.
McDonald returned last year and, while
still finding his footing in rebounding from
the injury, played his way back to
respectability. The A’s made him an 18th-
round pick in 2017, two rounds after his for-
mer Serra teammate, left-handed pitcher
Orlando Razo, was drafted by the Seattle
Mariners out of UC Davis.
Now hitting .288, he is enjoying a 7-for-
21 clip through August, including a 3-for-5
performance Monday in Beloit’s 13-8 loss
to Wisconsin.
“Obviously the body is getting tired,”
McDonald said. “But I’ve learned to just go
out there an accept some days you’re going
to feel better than others. So, I’ll just trying
to stay with one routine, one approach and
not try to waiver from that.”
By virtue of his minor league service,
McDonald has helped make Serra history.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
His father Ray also played minor league ball
in 1986 in the Toronto Blue Jays organiza-
tion. They are the first father-son tandem,
each produced by Serra, to play affiliated
professional baseball.
His father Ray is now an institution in the
San Mateo softball world, as founder of the
West Bay Warriors travel softball organiza-
tion. In four years, the Warriors have risen
to the level of the local powerhouse Cal
Nuggets, now based in the Los Altos Hills.
This last offseason, McDonald made his
first foray into softball coaching, helping
his father by working the Warriors 16U
team.
“I really enjoyed the whole softball thing
in the offseason,” McDonald said. “So I can
see myself doing that after.”
Not that McDonald is looking to start a
regular coaching career anytime soon. He’s
still intent on doing the Serra Class of ’13
proud.
McDonald is one of four players from that
class to play pro ball, along with Razo,
Michael Tinsley and Jordan Paroubeck. It
didn’t take long for him to cross paths with
Razo; the two matched up last season in
McDonald’s fifth professional game. Razo
won the battle, inducing a groundout to sec-
ond base off his former Sera teammate.
“He got the best of me,” McDonald said.
“But hopefully we’ll have more encounters
over the years.”

out of the race early? Blow up the team. In
contention at the All-Star break? Let’s see
how far we can take this.
So as the trade deadline approached at the
end of July, despite the team in the middle
of playing its best baseball in years, the
questions remained the same: Would the A’s
be sellers at the deadline?
Oakland management would have run off
the remaining hard-core A’s fans if it did
anything other than try to nurture this
team, one that appears to have what it
takes to be a playoff contender in what
many believe is a year too early.
But those nagging questions never really
go away when it comes to the Oakland A’s.
They appear to have that special “It” this
season. But what about next season? If the
A’s truly are a year early in their develop-
ment, wouldn’t it behoove the organiza-
tion to ride it out for the next couple of
seasons and see where this thing goes?
But what happens if Oakland gets off to a
slow start next year? Does that trigger a
sell off? And that, to me, is the biggest
reason fans are gun shy about getting
behind this team this season. Every other
time fans allowed themselves to root for
Oakland A’s players, they’re unceremoni-
ously shipped out. The fans haven’t forgot-
ten that and are still leery of throwing
themselves completely behind this team.
But why not get behind the 2018 edition
of the Oakland A’s? The trade deadline has
come and gone and for once the A’s were
buyers, netting a couple of strong relievers
to shore up the back end of bullpen. The
players on this year’s team aren’t going
anywhere. Worry about 2019 next year.

THE DAILY JOURNAL
Rose of Sharon: Not a real
rose, but worth growing
By Lee Reich
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
An unsung hero of the late summer garden
is rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus). This
shrub’s branches are studded with pastel blos-
soms year after year, despite drought, poor
soil or general neglect. Cold winters or swel-
tering summers similarly leave it unfazed.
Despite its tolerance for frigid winters, rose
of Sharon has always seemed to me a
“Southern” shrub. Perhaps that’s because I
was inundated with this plant during the two
years I sojourned in the most southern county
of a barely Southern state. More likely, I con-
nect rose of Sharon with the South because of
its family connections. Rose of Sharon is not
a rose at all, or even distantly related to one.
Rather, hibiscus, cotton and okra are its kin
— all “Southern” plants, even though some
species of hibiscus, like rose of Sharon, are
perfectly at home in cold winter weather.
They do like sun and hot summers, though.
FAMILY MATTERS
Rose of Sharon and its relatives are part of
the mallow family. The most famous “mal-
low” plant is the wetland marsh mallow.
Marshmallows were originally made from the
candied roots of marsh mallows.
Only a glance at rose of Sharon’s blossoms
reveals its kinship with other members of the
family. From the center of each flaring trum-
pet of petals protrudes a tubular column of
male and female flower parts, the male parts
bristling out along the column and the female
parts splayed out at the far end. Those petals
might be purple, red, pink, white — on some
plants even blue. And those trumpets, on
some varieties of rose of Sharon, are made up
of more than a single row of petals.
You surely are familiar with the plant I’m
talking about, but if not, let me clinch recog-
SUv“ ļȓ DUļ“
SUBURBAN LIVING Thursday • Aug 16, 2018 17
nition with additional description. Rose of
Sharon is an upright shrub, perhaps 8 to 10
feet tall. It’s not a delicate shrub, fine with
twigs, but one with branches that are rela-
tively thick and few. The shrub rarely sends
up new shoots (“suckers”) at or near ground
level, so it tends to become like a small, low-
branching tree having a single or just a few
main stems that live for a long time.
BEAUTY WITH LITTLE TROUBLE
This growth habit tells you something
about rose of Sharon’s pruning needs. They
are, in a word, few. Like PeeGee hydrangeas
and climbing roses, all that rose of Sharon
needs is very occasionally to have a decrepit
stem cut back low in the plant. If flowering
seems too sparse, shortening some stems in
the upper part of the shrub will provide the
necessary invigoration.
Rose of Sharon blossoms on new growth,
so the time to prune it is in late winter, before Rose of Sharon and its relatives are part of the mallow family.
new growth begins.
The plant’s glory goes on for an extended
period, but only once a year. If you plan on
planting it, don’t expect to pay any attention
to it in autumn, winter, spring or early sum-
mer, during which the plant is drab but,
thankfully, inconspicuously so. Wait! Before
you dismiss rose of Sharon for its single sea-
son of glory, think of forsythia and lilac,
both popular and both also at their best in a
single season, a short one at that.
No female of passing beauty gave rose of
Sharon its name. Rose of Sharon was named
for a place: a fertile plain along the
Mediterranean coast in western Israel. The
plant growing there, the “rose of Sharon”
mentioned in the Bible, was probably a wild
tulip. Our rose of Sharon’s native home is in
India and China, but it was originally
thought to originate at the Middle Eastern
location.

Ballot measures
Of the dozens of measures affecting resi-
dents of various cities, a half-cent sales tax
increase for transportation improvements
through SamTrans put on the ballot by the
San Mateo County Transit District will be
decided by voters across the county.
Several others deal with taxes on the
types of commercial cannabis businesses
allowed in a handful of cities.
Half Moon Bay voters will consider five
cannabis-related measures, including
whether to authorize the city to collect
taxes on cannabis businesses headquartered
outside of Half Moon Bay that currently
deliver cannabis in the city. The commercial
cannabis tax would also create a tax struc-
ture for all other commercial cannabis busi-
nesses should they be allowed to operate in
town in the future. Another measure will ask
Half Moon Bay residents whether nurseries
should be allowed to grow immature non-
flowering cannabis plants to be sold outside
the city. Voters will also consider three
advisory measures on cultivation of mature
plans, manufacturing and retail.
Redwood City residents will weigh in on a
half-cent sales tax to help cover increasing
operating costs and a cannabis business tax
enabling the council to set a tax rate up to
10 percent of gross receipts on each type of
cannabis business. Earlier this year, the
council agreed to allow cannabis delivery
centers without walk-in retail and nurseries
that grow and sell starter plants to set up
shop in the city’s industrial zones.

Redwood City voters will also consider var-
ious changes to the city’s charter.
San Carlos residents will decide whether
to establish a sales tax of up to 10 percent
on cannabis businesses allowed in the city,
which include commercial cannabis cultiva-
tion, manufacturing and testing.
While South San Francisco officials
banned outdoor cultivation and storefront
pot shops earlier this year, residents will
vote on a commercial cannabis business
license measure that would tax cannabis
testing, cultivation, distribution, manufac-
turing and delivery.
Millbrae voters will decide whether to
approve a bond measure aimed at assem-
bling some 40 percent of the funds needed
to fund a $12 million project to rebuild the
Millbrae Recreation Center.
Belmont, Foster City, San Carlos and
South San Francisco voters will review
increases to the cities’ transient occupancy
taxes, or hotel taxes. Voters in Belmont
will also decide if their city clerk and treas-
urer should be appointed or elected.
Brisbane residents will determine whether
their community should essentially double
in size when they vote this fall on a divisive
proposal to transform the Baylands into a
sweeping mixed-use development after the
City Council agreed to call a fall election
seeking voter approval for an amendment to
the city’s General Plan that would make way
for the 2,200-unit development with 7 mil-
lion square feet of commercial space.
The San Bruno Park Elementary School
District will be looking for a bond measure
for facilities and the San Mateo-Foster City
Elementary School District will be looking

Continued from page 1
Located just north of the 599-unit,
12-acre Station Park Green apartment
complex and south of the post office at
1630 S. Delaware St., the new residen-
tial building’s site is less than half a
mile away from the Hayward Park
Caltrain station and a 935-unit, mixed-
use development dubbed the Passage at
San Mateo that would take the place of
a shopping center southeast of Concar
Drive and South Delaware Street.
Having reviewed the project last
year, Chair Dianne Whitaker com-
mended the developer during the
Tuesday, Aug. 15, meeting for improv-
ing the design of the five-story build-
ing in the months since the commis-
sion’s meeting last year. The build-
ing’s architect Jonathan Ennis said the
project’s design was inspired by exam-
ples of Spanish colonial-influenced
architecture in San Mateo, and noted
the project features a large archway on
the facade facing South Delaware
Street.
Whitaker said she shared the senti-
ment of residents concerned about the
design disparity on recently-con-
structed or proposed buildings near the
project site with more modern looks,
which also include a 300,000-square-
foot office complex at the corner of
Concar Drive and Delaware built by
developer Pearlmark Hines.
“I am pleased with the evolution of
the design and where we are at
tonight,” she said. “I don’t believe
[the buildings] should all look alike,
but in this particular case there is quite
SCHOOLS
Continued from page 4
Lujan said her district is yet to estab-
lish a timeline for moving ahead, but
noted the change would not impact the
school board election taking place this
fall.
Under the proposed system, the elec-
torate would be subdivided into dis-
tricts by a new electoral map, and
prospective board members would run
against others who live within the
boundaries of their assigned area.
Lujan said officials are yet to exam-
ine potential maps, but expect those
discussions will take place following
the board adopting the transition.
Proponents of the by-district elec-
tion system claim the method is superi-
or, as it ensures all communities are
represented on a board and protects
against the threat of subjugating disad-
vantaged groups.
Commonly, groups interested in pro-
of the Hines office buildings, Station
Park Green and this particular project.”
Several residents stepped forward in
support of the project’s design as well
as its provision of dozens of housing
units near the city’s Hayward Park
Caltrain station. Citing the imbalance
of jobs and housing on the Peninsula,
longtime Parkside resident Tom Taber
predicted the project would reduce traf-
fic congestion stemming from State
Route 92. Because many working in
San Mateo contend with long com-
mutes, the project offered employees
of San Mateo businesses and offices an
opportunity to live close to their jobs,
said Taber.
“I would suggest that the best way to
reduce traffic congestion is to provide
more housing here on the Peninsula,”
he said. “This project is in exactly the
right place … more housing on this
side of the Bay is going to reduce traf-
fic.”
Commissioner Ramiro Maldonado
was also supportive of building hous-
ing near public transit, but voiced a
concern shared by residents and other
commissioners that the project didn’t
provide enough affordable units. By
providing six units at a very-low
income level, the developer qualifies
for a state density bonus, said city
planner Roscoe Mata.
“My only hesitation and my only
reservation is that yes, six [below-
market rate unit]s are [nice], but I
believe we should have more than
six,” said Maldonado.
Jeff Warmoth, a representative of the
developer, said the developer aimed to
maximize the number of affordable
units the project could offer to resi-
tecting potentially disadvantaged
social or racial groups will threaten to
file a lawsuit against elected boards in
an effort to push officials to change the
election system, with the opportunity
to recoup legal fees in the process.
A social justice group compelled the
South San Francisco City Council to
adopt the election change with a simi-
lar threat earlier this year. Lujan said
school officials have not received such
a letter, but admitted city officials’
decision encouraged the district to
work toward its own transition.
Legal threats were also issued to the
Half Moon Bay City Council, Redwood
City Elementary and Sequoia Union
High school boards and San Mateo
County Board of Supervisors, which
adopted the shift in recent years. The
San Mateo County Community
College District also adopted the
change, but voluntarily.
Critics of by-district elections have
claimed the system promotes balka-
nization, or encourages elected offi-
cials to lose sight of their agency’s
collective best interest in favor of

learning how great the need is for units
affordable at a very-low-income level
and how challenging it can be to build
them.
“We felt like that’s a real benefit to
the city,” he said. “There are six fami-
lies who at a very low-income level
will be able to qualify to live in this
wonderful place.”
Though Commissioner John Ebneter
commended the project for contribut-
ing to the diversity of building
designs in the area, he noted he still
had lingering concerns about the effect
the slate of new and upcoming devel-
opments would have on traffic in the
area. He looked to ongoing monitor-
ing of developments like Station Park
Green as it is leased out to new resi-
dents to shed light on whether initial
traffic projections have been accurate.
“I have a concern, as I have men-
tioned in the past, with this whole area
and the traffic impacts,” he said. “I
think it’s going to be quite telling
over the next 12 to 16 months to see
how this neighborhood and the traffic
situations evolve.”
In other business, the commission
postponed a vote on a proposal to
build a five-story, 80-unit apartment
building with 7,000 square feet of
retail space just north of Central Park.
The developer, Essex Property Trust,
submitted plans to build an eight-story
development with 117 units some five
years ago, and resubmitted scaled-back
plans last fall. Though public com-
ment on the project was heard Tuesday,
commissioners voted to continue a
discussion of the project at its Aug. 28
meeting because the meeting lasted
past 11 p.m.
advocating solely for those in their
ward.
Lujan acknowledged such a concern,
and said officials will work to prevent
that outcome by adopting a map that
distributes school sites equally among
the districts.
“That is a thought we are all mindful
of because we do value the entire dis-
trict and the entire community,” she
said.
As trustees take on the initiative,
Lujan said she is hopeful community
members participate in the upcoming
conversation to assure all perspectives
are considered.
“This is a change that will impact the
entire community, so as we hold our
community meetings, we want to
ensure that everyone is engaged and
everyone who has an opinion will have
an opportunity to voice that opinion
and weigh in,” she said.
The South San Francisco Unified
School District Board of Trustees meets
7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 16, at Baden
High School, 825 Southwood Driv e.

COCKTAILS
Continued from page 1
moment.
The bar manager at Martin’s West
Gastropub in downtown Redwood City said
he’s seen patrons’ tastes grow more complex
and informed over the past couple years,
which in turn ramped up his responsibilities.
“It’s like you want to be a good host and
want your customer to be happy. This is our
house and you want them to come in and be
comfortable,” he said.
Jacob Carlos, general manager at Martin’s
West, agreed that the average visitor keeps a
much more refined palate than years before.
“The Peninsula for a long time, it was a
blue collar place with a lot of construction
workers, police and firemen and most restau-
rants lived on beer, wine and a shot of
whiskey,” he said. “Now, if you don’t have an
above average bar program, it hurts you.”
Quintanilla, 28, said the effort to meet
lofty expectations requires the deft touch
needed to make a quality drink, while also
monitoring the amount of attention each
patron desires during their visit.
Visitors to Quintanilla’s bar range from
wishing to be left alone with their drink, to
large groups entertaining themselves to
those wanting to discuss his approach to
making drinks.
For the latter group, Quintanilla said he
appreciates an opportunity to discuss his
hearty knowledge of the cocktail, which he
has honed over nearly five years of working
in both Palo Alto and Redwood City.
A former barback who moved his way up to
management, Quintanilla said his ascension
is tied largely to a bottomless thirst for
research into the history and art of drink
making.
“You have to appreciate the craftwork and
history. The story of booze is connected to
the story of the world. And I love reading
about the awesome aspects of how booze
itself has changed history,” said Quintanilla,
noting the migration patterns of cultures
across the globe as alcohol production meth-
ods evolve.
Quintanilla said that depth of knowledge is
best applied when authoring the bar’s cock-
tail menu, which he refines every few months
to reflect changing seasons, tastes and tech-
niques.
He will spend the weeks developing the
menu seeking inspiration, collaborating
with colleagues and appealing to patrons.
What he won’t do is chase trends, or put a
drink on the menu because it is popular on
Instagram.
“As a curator of cocktails, I want to keep it
original,” he said.
A brief trip through Quintanilla’s menu
reflect such an emphasis, as drinks often fea-
ture a handful of ingredients, techniques and
approaches.
Perhaps the most innovative is the “Top
Hat,” which features bourbon washed in duck
fat then mixed with maple and thyme. To
wash an alcohol involves mixing it with a
soft fat, freezing it for a few days and strain-
ing the booze to create a flavored spirit ready
to be the backbone of the next new drink.
Quintanilla said he plans to use the method
in his upcoming menu by blending vodka
with coconut fat for a drink which may evoke
warm visions of a tropical island once the
weather starts to turn locally.
For those sharing a taste for the exotic,
Mortar & Pestle in San Mateo is also spe-
cializing in drinks not traditionally found
locally.
Lucas England, beverage director of the bar
tied to Curry Up Now, said his menu too
skews toward the flavors of southeast Asia or
India, while prioritizing quality and creativi-
ty.
“They are all crafted to be fun, exciting and
different,” said England, who pointed to the
bar’s punchbowl or Bunta bottled drinks as
highlights of the downtown cocktail bar’s
menu.
The latter offering is a play off the Banta
soda popular with children in India served in
a glass bottle similar to Coca Cola. At
Mortar & Pestle, the drinks are mixed with
gin, vodka, whiskey and pisco to cater to
adults.
“We are the first bar in America to start
producing these and using them for our cock-
tail program,” said Lucas.
For Carlos, he said the high level of com-
petition across the county has required all
those jockeying for position in the craft cor-
ner to step up their game.
“I think people are coming to expect that
from a lot of bars. Up and down the
Peninsula, every new restaurant, they are
doing some sort of cocktail program” he
said.
Quintanilla meanwhile noted with the
refined taste from patrons comes an increased
thirst for knowledge, which he is more than
happy to help quench.
“We get a lot of people not just interested
in drinking, but knowing the story of the
drink,” he said.

Cremation offers many options for final
disposition such as burial in a cemetery plot,
preservation in a columbarium niche, or
scattering at sea or in a place of meaning.
We are happy to explain all the choices
