Evicted woman, 97, sues landlord

Marie Hatch suing for breach of contract, elder abuse
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A 97-year-old woman facing eviction from her Burlingame home filed a

lawsuit against her landlord for breach
of contract, elder abuse and intentional infliction of emotional distress
Friday.
Marie Hatch, who has lived at her
California Drive cottage for 66 years,
claims she was promised by three generations of family members who own
it that she should could reside there
until she died.

She was sent a
notice to vacate earlier this month by
attorney Michael
Liberty on behalf of
his client David
Kantz, who claims
to own the house.
An oral contract
Marie Hatch
is just as enforceable as a written contract, attorney
Nancy Fineman said at a press conference Friday. She was flanked by anoth-
er attorney, Nanci Nishimura, and

Hatchs roommate of 32 years Georgia
Rothrock, who must also vacate the
property. Fineman and Nishimura,
with Cotchett, Pitre and McCarthy, are
taking on the case free of charge.
Hatch had been promised that she
could live in the house for life based
upon a decades-old contract with
Vivian Kroeze but the estranged husband of Kroezes granddaughter, Kantz,
started eviction proceedings just after
the holidays.

Popular teacher wont return to Burlingame

Kevin Nelson remains uncertain of where he will teach next year
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Burlingame High School teacher Kevin

Nelson said he will not be allowed to teach
next year at the school where he has educated
students for nearly three decades, under a decision by district officials.
Nelson said he is still uncertain to which
district campus he will be transferred, but he
was informed by Kevin Skelly, superintendent of the San Mateo Union High School
District, during a meeting Thursday, Feb. 25,
he will not return to his classroom in
Burlingame.
Where the popular educator will teach next
year has become a lightning rod for the
school community, as thousands of students
and parents have publicly advocated for
Nelson keeping his post in the wake of his
ongoing clash with Burlingame High School
Principal Di Yim.
Nelson said he was dismayed to learn he
will not be returning to the school where he
has taught government and economics for 27
years.
I feel frustrated, he said. Thats the best
way to describe it.
An online petition requesting district officials allow Nelson to stay at Burlingame
High School has received more than 2,300
signatures, and community members have
turned out in droves to school board meetings
further pleading their case.
An attorney has been hired by the district
teachers union to represent Nelson and investigate legal avenues to keep him at the
school, he said.
Skelly declined to comment specifically on
the matter of Nelsons employment, citing a
district policy against publicly discussing

personnel issues, but said he is committed to
ensuring Burlingame High School continues
to be an education institution befitting of its
community.
We are interested in making Burlingame an
even better school in the coming years, he
said. And we feel strongly the best days of
the school are ahead.
Nelson learned last month he would be
transferred, which he claimed was retribution
for his opposition to policies implemented
by Yim.
After learning of his pending removal, students hosted protests at the school in support
of the teacher who has educated generations
during his time in the district.
As the fracture resonated through the
school community, Yim abruptly announced
her intention to resign at the end of the
school year, which she claimed was necessary
to grant her a greater opportunity to spend
time with family.
In the wake of Yims resignation announcement, Nelsons supporters hoped the personnel issue would be resolved and he would be
allowed to stay at the school.
Despite his opposition of the transfer,
Nelson said he harbors no ill will toward
Skelly over the issue.
Im not mad at Superintendent Skelly,
said Nelson. He inherited this, and he is trying to manage it. But at the same time, Ive
got my own life and career to look at.
Skelly, who was hired to replace former
superintendent Scott Laurence roughly one
year ago, said he is focused on finding the
right candidate to fill Yims position at the
helm of Burlingame High School.
There are challenges associated with balancing the variety of expectations and hopes
members of the school community might

have for the next principal, said Skelly, and
joked it may seem at times the search was for
a mythical figure.
He remained optimistic though the right
candidate for the principal would ultimately
be selected.
We will get someone who is worthy of the
promise and talents of students at the
school, he said.
For his part, Nelson indicated there are
larger cultural issues plaguing the school
community in Burlingame, and questioned
whether he would be the only teacher facing
transfer.
For me the big question is: Why am I the
only one? If she [Yim] is gone, what is the
issue? Why am I being transferred? he asked.
After establishing a reputation for advocating on the part of students, Nelson suggested
he felt his transfer was unjust.
Ive got all this support, Ive done the
right things, and Im the one leaving, he
said.
Uma Krishnan, a former student of Nelson
who started the online petition in favor of
him staying at the school, said she was upset
to learn her alma mater would be losing such a
popular educator.
I personally am really sad, said Krishnan.
He was one of the best teachers Ive ever had.
Im sad to see him go.
Nelson said it is frustrating facing transfer
from a community which has been so supportive.
One of the biggest things that angers me
about leaving the high school is that we have
built this community, he said. Im part of it,
and now Im being taken out.

Trump wins Christies support
Local briefs
Traffic stop leads to drug, gun arrest
A traffic stop on Thursday led to an arrest of a Menlo Park
man in connection with the alleged sale of drugs.
Jameel Collins, 36, was arrested on suspicion of being a
felon in possession of a firearm, child endangerment and
possession of heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine, marijuana and prescription painkillers for sale.
Around 12:30 p.m. detectives from the Menlo Park Police
Department Narcotics Enforcement Team conducted a traffic
stop on Collins vehicle in the area of Clarke Avenue and
Bay Road in East Palo Alto.
During the stop, detectives located a concealed firearm, a
digital scale and large quantities of marijuana, heroin,
methamphetamine, cocaine and prescription painkillers all
packaged for sale, police said.
Collins 5-year-old child was also in the vehicle and within reach of the marijuana, police said.
Collins was also found to be out on bail for a prior drug
sales charge.

FORT WORTH, Texas Donald

Trump scored a powerhouse endorsement Friday as he sought to regain
headway in a Republican presidential
race that devolved into a series of
fierce insults and schoolyard taunts
heading into the weekend before Super
Tuesday contests.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie
stunned the Republican establishment
by swinging behind the New York billionaire, declaring there is no better
fighter than Donald Trump. Taking
the cue, Trump unleashed a raw assault
on Marco Rubio, who went after him
with fury on the debate stage the night
before.
Trump called the first-term Florida
senator a nervous basket case, a
choke artist, a frightened little
puppy and insulted the size of his
ears. This is a low-life, Trump said of
Rubio, not leaving out Texas Sen. Ted
Cruz. Cruz lies, but at least its reasonable lies. Earlier, Rubio joked
that Trump might have wet his pants
backstage on debate night.
Christies endorsement came after
Rubio shattered months of relative
peace with the Republican front-runner
by repeatedly attacking Trumps character in the debate. Christie caught the
room by surprise when he stepped out
to join Trump at a Forth Worth news
conference announcing the governors
support.
Palo Altos missing bald eagle is found

REUTERS
Donald Trump, left, speaks next to New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie at a campaign
rally where Christie endorsed Trumps candidacy for president.
The shift marked the beginning of a
long-awaited Trump takedown effort
that was cheered by anxious
Republicans nationwide who question
Trumps party loyalty and fear hes
unelectable in a general election.
Christies support gave Trump an
opportunity to turn the attention back
to himself, as he has done repeatedly
during trouble spots in the campaign.
His critics acknowledge they are running out of time to stop him.
Hes won three consecutive primary
contests and looks strong in many of
the 11 states participating in
Tuesdays mega-round of voting. A
close look at the delegate math suggests that he could have an insurmountable delegate lead by mid-March
if trends dont change quickly.
Cruz said the Christie endorsement
had little impact on his own focus on
Super Tuesday. He suggested the development was troubling news for
Rubios campaign, which had been
courting the tough-talking New Jersey
governor since he dropped his own
presidential candidacy earlier in the
month.
Instead of securing a new ally, Rubio
found himself on the wrong end of the
Christies attacks.
A Palo Alto zoos missing bald eagle is home again after

wandering off during a training exercise this week.
KPIX 5 reports that the 27-year-old female eagle named
Sequoia was found at an open space preserve and returned to
her handlers Friday.
The eagle was rescued years ago from the wild after suffering a gunshot wound that paralyzed her tail. She cannot fly
well enough to catch prey, but has gone missing previously.
Sequoia was taking part in a flight training exercise
Monday when she got distracted and flew away from her
handlers at the Palo Alto Junior Museum and Zoo.
She was found at Rancho San Antonio Open Space
Preserve, which is in Los Altos about 12 miles southeast of
the zoo.
California high court delays prison appeal; Brown objects

By Don Thompson
SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown

objected Friday to a California
Supreme Court schedule that would
push a decision on his prison population ballot initiative into at least the
middle of next week.
The Democratic governor wants the
justices to immediately overturn a
lower court ruling that could stall until
2018 his proposal to increase sentencing credits for adult inmates and allow
earlier parole for non-violent felons.
Browns attorney said in a court filing that even a four-day delay would
likely make it impossible to gather
enough signatures to put the measure
Jerry Brown
before voters in
November.
The governor has
no one to blame but
himself, countered
Mark Zahner, chief
executive of the
California District
A t t o r n e y s
Association that
sued to block the
initiative.
Ultimately the only emergency
thats caused here is kind of a do-ityourself nature that the governor created by doing it the way they did, he
said.
The lower court agreed with the district attorneys argument that Brown
improperly amended an existing juvenile justice initiative to also increase

sentencing credits for adult inmates
and allow earlier parole for non-violent felons. The Sacramento-based
Superior Court judge barred Attorney
General Kamala Harris from issuing
the documents required for Browns
supporters to gather the signatures
needed to put his initiative on the
November ballot.

Washington state man called officer to say he killed family

By Manuel Valdes
and Martha Bellisle
BELFAIR, Wash. A gunman who killed

four people in rural Washington state called
an officer he previously encountered to say
he shot his family, leading to an hourslong
standoff at a home Friday that ended with his
suicide, authorities said.
A 12-year-old girl related to the victims
survived and was taken to the hospital for an
evaluation, Mason County sheriffs Chief
Deputy Ryan Spurling said. Her condition
was not immediately known.
Apparently shes OK, Spurling said. I
dont know if this is a daughter, or stepdaughter, or what the relationship is, but she
escaped from the house.
The officer who took the shooters call
went to the home across Puget Sound from
Seattle with another deputy. Authorities
negotiated with the man for about three
hours before a SWAT team entered the house
in a heavily wooded area and found the bodies.

The gunman apparently came outside the
home and shot himself, Sheriff Casey
Salisbury said. Its a terrible tragedy.
Neither the gunman nor his four victims
have been identified. Authorities did not
detail the previous interaction between the
shooter and the officer he called.
Jack Pigott, who lives down the road, said
he heard gunshots Thursday night but none
Friday.
The couple who lived in the house about 25
miles southwest of Seattle had been married
for four or five years, Pigott said. The wife
had two teenage sons who were adopted from
Russia during a previous marriage. She also
had a daughter who was adopted from China.
Pigott said the husband had a heating and
air conditioning contractor business. He had
recently been hospitalized, Pigott said, but
he didnt know why. When he returned home,
he was on a lot of medications, Pigott said of
the man.

Sheriff: Cop who killed Kansas gunman a tremendous hero

By Roxana Hegeman and Maria Fisher
HESSTON, Kan. A man who stormed

into a Kansas factory and shot 14 people,
killing three, had just been served with a
protective order involving a former girlfriend that probably set off the attack,
authorities said Friday.
The assault at the Excel Industries lawnmower-parts plant in the small town of
Hesston ended when the police chief killed
the gunman in a shootout.
Harvey County Sheriff

T. Walton described the
officer as a tremendous
hero because 200 or 300
people were still in the
factory and the shooter
wasnt done by any
means.
Had the officer not
done what he did, this
Cedric Ford
would be a whole lot
more tragic, Walton said.
The gunman was identified as Cedric Ford,
a 38-year-old worker at the factory. As a

convicted felon, he was prohibited from
owning any kind of firearm. A woman was
charged with supplying him with an assault
rifle and a pistol.
Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback said preliminary information indicated that the officer
was Hesston Police Chief Doug Schroeder,
who did not wait for backup and seized the
situation.
Schroeder has been on the job since
1998, according to his LinkedIn profile.
While driving to the factory, the gunman

shot a man on the street, striking him in the

shoulder. A short time later, he shot someone else in the leg at an intersection,
authorities said.
The suspect shot one person in the factory parking lot before opening fire inside the
building, the sheriffs department said.

Cease-fire goes into effect across Syria

By Bassem Mroue
and Zeina Karam
BEIRUT A cease-fire brokered by

the United States and Russia went into
effect across Syria on Saturday, marking the biggest international push to
reduce violence in the countrys devastating conflict, but the Islamic State
group and al-Qaidas branch in Syria,
the Nusra Front, were excluded.
The cease-fire aims to bring representatives of the Syrian government
and the opposition back to the negotiating table in Geneva for talks on a
political transition. The U. N. s

that peace talks would resume on
March 7 if the cessation of hostilities

If it does, it would be the first time

Deadline expires for

homeless at San Francisco tent city
SAN FRANCISCO A city deadline for homeless people
to vacate a San Francisco tent city came and went Friday
evening with no action.
About 30 tents remained in place at the 5 p.m. deadline city
officials gave the homeless living there to clear out, Sam
Dodge, the mayors point person on homelessness said.
City officials and the San Francisco Police have not said
what they intend to do with the recalcitrant tent residents.
City officials on Tuesday evening gave the residents of the
tent city 72 hours to move after declaring the area along a
busy San Francisco street a health hazard. At its height, some
140 tents populated the area, drawing complaints residents
and businesses.
San Francisco has long had a problem housing its homeless, but tensions have been exacerbated by a shortage of
affordable housing amid a tech-based jobs boom.
Earlier this month, a founder of a technology startup posted a letter to San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee complaining that
he shouldnt have to see the pain, struggle, and despair of
homeless people on his way to work.
The letter, which went viral, was soundly mocked on social
media for its whiny lack of sensitivity but writer Justin
Keller is not alone in demanding the city do more about
homelessness.
People who live near the tent city, for example, testified at
a city hall hearing on Thursday that they were afraid to step
outside their homes due to aggressive behavior. The tents are
along Division Street, a multi-lane thoroughfare that divides
two rapidly developing neighborhoods, the South of Market
and Mission districts.
The homeless and their advocates say they need more services and homes for the unhoused. An estimated 3,500 people
sleep on the streets of San Francisco each night.
Im not going to let somebody run me out of somewhere
where Ive made my home, said camper Patrita Tripp, as she
dished cold beef pasta out of a can earlier this week. Where
am I supposed to go?
Officials scrap proposal for

San Francisco bonfire permits
SAN FRANCISCO Officials with the Golden Gate
National Recreation Area have abandoned a proposal that
would have required people to acquire permits before making
bonfires at Ocean Beach, a San Francisco tradition.
The National Park Service scrapped the idea after deciding
the $35 reservation permits werent worth the effort. And in
a bonus for bonfire lovers, the service will add four more
bonfire rings, bringing the total to 16.
The public thought the permit took away the spontaneity
aspect of having a beach fire, Alexandra Picavet, a park
service spokeswoman.
The park service received more than 500 comments on the
proposed rule. Most opposed the idea of a reservation and
forking over $35 for a permit.
Park officials have been trying to regulate beachside bonfires since 2006 as complaints grew over unattended blazes
and boozy crowds. The National Park Service estimated at
one point that it was spending nearly $90,000 a year to clean
up after the fires.
The service has turned to education to remind beachgoers to
clean up and guard against fire damage. A new program will
begin this spring with trained staff and volunteers to enforce
rules.
San Francisco resident Sacha Ielmorini told the newspaper
that bonfires are a fun and cheap way to build a sense of community.
Where else can you get a beach in the middle of a city? All
it costs is the price of a box of wood. Its a great equalizer,
and everybody can do it, she said.
Groups of 25 or more must make a reservation.
Bonfires are banned through February as part of the Bay
Area Air Quality Management Districts Spare the Air season,
which starts in November.

Stocks end strong week on flat note

DOW JONES INDUSTRIALS
NEW YORK Stocks ended a

strong week on a flat note as lower

encouraging economic news.
Still, the market ended Friday
with a second straight weekly
gain.
The Dow Jones industrial average closed down 57.32 points, or

All three indexes finished the

Oil, despite Fridays decline, was
up 3.6 percent for the week.
On Friday the market was

Strategists
Douglas
Cote
and Karyn
Cavanaugh, in a note to investors,
said the GDP data could increase
the likelihood of an interest rate
increase at the Federal Reserves
meeting in March.
But the stronger economic news
kicked interest rates up sharply.

That in turn hit relatively safe
investments like government
bonds and stocks that are attractive for their dividends, like utilities and consumer staples, hard.
Coca-Cola was the biggest
decliner in the Dow, slipping 2.3
percent, followed by Wal-Mart and
IBM. All three stocks have a dividend yield of 3 percent or more.
The Dow Jones utility index, a
basket of 15 utility companies,

fell nearly 3 percent, and the sector was the biggest loser in the
S&P 500. Utility stocks tend to do
better at times of low interest rates
or economic uncertainty because
their business is relatively stable
and they pay a high dividend.
Government bond prices fell,
pushing the yield on the 10-year
Treasury note up to 1.76 percent
from 1.72 percent the day before.
Gold prices also fell, closing
down $18. 40 to $1, 220. 40 an
ounce.
Oil was unable to hold gains it
had early in the day, and closed
down 29 cents, or 1 percent, to
$32.78 a barrel. Brent crude, the
global benchmark, fell 19 cents to
close at $35.10. In other energy
commodities, heating oil fell 1.9
cents to $1. 051 a gallon.
Wholesale gasoline futures fell
3.9 cents to $1.017 a gallon and
natural gas rose 0. 6 cents to

In other metals, silver fell 49

Insurer warnings cast doubt on ACA exchange future

By Tom Murphy
Political uncertainty isnt the

only threat to the Affordable Care
Acts future. Cracks also are
spreading through a major pillar
supporting the law
Health insurance exchanges created to help millions of people
find coverage are turning into
money-losing ventures for many
insurers.
The
nations
largest,
UnitedHealth Group Inc., could
lose as much as $475 million on
its exchange business this year
and may not participate in 2017.
Another major insurer, Aetna, has
questioned the viability of the
exchanges. And a dozen nonprofit
insurance cooperatives created by
the law have already closed, forcing around 750,000 people to find
new plans.
More insurer defections would
lead to fewer coverage choices on
the exchanges and could eventually undermine the law, provided the
next president wants to keep it.
However, insurance experts
arent writing an ACA obituary
yet: Enrollment is growing and
appears to getting younger in
some markets, a crucial factor for
stability. Insurers also are learning more about their new customers and adjusting their coverage to do better financially. The
future of the exchanges depends on
whether those improvements continue and some other, big worries
ease.
Sometimes I think of (the
exchanges) as a little campfire
thats going to grow, but right
now it needs a little more oxygen
or kindling, said Katherine
Hempstead, director of health
insurance coverage programs for
the Robert Wood Johnson
Foundation, a nonpartisan organization that has assisted state governments on ACA insurance
expansions.
Affordable Care Acts future

BALANCING THE SICK AND HEALTHY
The biggest problem with the exchanges reflects
a basic insurance rule: Insurers need healthy, premium-paying customers to balance claims they
cover from the sick. Insurers have struggled in
many markets because people who couldnt get
coverage previously due to a condition were
among the first to sign up when the exchanges
opened a few years ago. Healthy customers have
been slower to enroll.
Insurers say theyve also been hurt by customers
who appear to be waiting until they become sick
to buy coverage.The companies blame liberal enforcement of the ACAs special enrollment
exceptions.
The law provides an annual enrollment window
for several weeks starting in the fall. This is the
main chance most people have to enroll or
change coverage.
But customers can enroll outside that window if
insurance needs change because theyve moved,
gotten married or had a child, among other exemptions.
Exchanges have not been asking for birth certificates, marriage licenses or other proof of these
life-changing events. Insurers say that leaves them
vulnerable.
The Montana Health Co-Op had a severely ill customer in a hospital sign up for its coverage in
October and then drop a $250,000 bill on the insurer. CEO Jerry Dworak said he asked the
exchange operator for details on whether the patient had a legitimate reason for the special
enrollment.The exchange would only say that the
patient changed ZIP codes.
Which is safer Uber or a

taxi? Theres no clear answer
By Justin Pritchard
LOS ANGELES The deadly

shooting rampage in Kalamazoo,
Michigan, raises anew a question
that has dogged Uber and other
taxi competitors: Their rides may
be cheaper and more convenient
than a cab, but are they as safe?
Its not just whether Ubers parttime drivers are better (or worse)
behind the wheel. Its whether passengers are more likely to be
assaulted, kidnapped or raped by
an Uber driver than a cabbie.
The answer is that there seems to
be no reliable answer. Police and
transportation authorities around
the U.S. say they know of no rigorous comparison of cabbies and
Uber drivers.
The taxi industry, facing an
existential threat from Uber, has
highlighted a series of incidents
as evidence that an Uber trip is a

gamble passengers should not
take. Then again, taxi drivers have
assaulted customers, too.
If any place might have analyzed
which is safer, how about San
Francisco, where Uber was
launched more than five years ago
and keeps its headquarters?
Police there cant say because
they dont keep crime data in a way
that would answer the safety question. Local transportation regulators dont know, either. Nor does
San Franciscos district attorney,
though his office is spearheading
a lawsuit that alleges Uber misled
passengers into believing its driver background checks are the most
comprehensive available.
We havent done a comparison
because that is not what the case is
about, said Max Szabo, a
spokesman for San Francisco
prosecutors.
The debate over safety has come
amid rapid growth by Uber and

other app-based ride-sharing services such as Lyft, and it flared after
the arrest of Uber driver Jason
Dalton last weekend in the
killings of six people in the
Kalamazoo area.
Asked which is safer, Ubers
own head of safety public policy
did not answer directly.
Instead, Dorothy Chou said Uber
is enlisting technology to predict and prevent incidents from
happening. She pointed out that
the app lets passengers share their
location and requires feedback on
drivers after every trip. Uber is
starting to use its drivers phones
to track hard braking and other
dangerous driving, she said, as
well as whether a driver is holding
a phone.
As long as we keep innovating
... eventually it will definitely be
safer to take a ride-sharing vehicle, Chou said.
Theyve got to do something about the special

enrollment because we just got killed on that,
Dworak said.
The federal government runs exchanges in most
states and announced Wednesday that it will start
seeking proof that customers qualify for these
special enrollment periods.This new requirement
will unfold over the next several months.
Its effectiveness will depend on how aggressively
the government enforces it, Goldman Sachs insurance industry analyst Matthew Borsch said in
a research note.
HIGHER COSTS
Many insurers also are struggling with higherthan-expected costs in general. Part of that comes
from either starting an insurance business from
scratch, as the co-ops did, or breaking into a new
market.
Medical costs almost tripled to more than $181
million through the first nine months of 2015 for
Maine Community Health Options. Outpatient
services like expensive drug infusions and orthopedic procedures for hips and knees, in particular,
hurt the insurance cooperative.
CEO Kevin Lewis isnt sure yet whether they need
to consider that higher-than-expected use in setting future rates or if it was pent-up demand from
people who havent had coverage.
Community Health Options covered nearly 71,000
people as of late September.Thats up 78 percent
from the end of 2014, and Lewis said the customer
base is getting younger, which is important because those customers generally contribute fewer
expenses.
Now the insurer has to hit the right balance of
raising rates enough to cover claims but not so

high that it scares away those newer customers.
If higher prices prompt healthier people to bail,
it wont be long until it unravels, Lewis said.
THE FUTURE
Challenges remain for companies selling coverage on the exchanges.
Some government programs that provided temporary financial support for insurers as they set
up their exchange business are winding down.
At the same time, premiums are rising in many
markets, and that makes the high-deductible coverage found in many exchange plans a tough sell
for healthy people.
Despite all the concerns, insurers arent anxious
to dump exchange coverage. Companies like
Molina Healthcare Inc. say they make money off
this business. Even Mark Bertolini, the Aetna Inc.
CEO who spoke cautiously about the future, has
said it is too early to give up.
The Montana Health Co-Op lost nearly $38 million in the first nine months of 2015, but Dworak
thinks it can turn a slight profit this year. Most of
the loss came from a charge the co-op took when
the federal government delivered only a fraction

PALO ALTO Menlo girls basketball

coach John Paye and his star guard Sam
Erisman both agreed that it was an honor to
be the first Menlo athletic team to play in a
Central Coast Section Open Division playoff.
And the sixth-seeded Knights showed No.
3 Sacred Heart Cathedral that they were not
simply happy to be there in their first-round
matchup Friday evening at Gunn High
School in Palo Alto.
Menlo gave the Irish all they could handle
in the first half, even taking a two-point
lead into halftime.
In the second half, however, SHC found
its offensive rhythm and that, coupled with
an always tenacious defense, was enough to
propel the Irish to a 62-47 victory.
The difference (between the first and second halves) was they started to get their
shots to fall, said Erisman, a junior, who
led Menlo with 15 points.
That summed up the game in a nutshell.
SHC (16-8) shot just 9 for 24 from the field
in the first two quarters. In the second half,
the Irish shot a blistering 15 for 26 as they
outscored Menlo (19-6) 40-23 over the final
two periods.
In the second half, they really started
dumping it inside, Paye said.
The main recipient was IImarI Thomas,
the West Catholic Athletic League CoPlayer of the Year, who scored 14 of her
game-high 25 points in the third and fourth
quarters.
And she made her free throws, which she
didnt do consistently in the first half as the
Irish struggled from the line early, hitting
on just 5 of 11.
Menlo, on the other hand, was feasting at

night. A 45-footer to beat the clock in
Orlando the very next night. In both cases,
the thousands of fans who came to watch the
brightest star in todays NBA do something
special expressed their satisfaction with
long, lusty cheers.
And remember, those were road crowds.
It is Stephen Currys game right now, and
whether the Golden State Warriors are home
or away it seems no one needs a reminder to
enjoy what the leagues premier sharpshooter is doing on a nightly basis. The
most entertaining player on the NBAs most
entertaining team has fans coming early and
staying late to catch a glimpse, take a selfie, get an autograph, whatever they can
muster in order to feel like they were part of
the show.
I was fortunate to play with Michael
Jordan and just about every night I was
awestruck, Warriors coach Steve Kerr said
Thursday in Orlando, after Currys shot from
midcourt was the highlight of a 51-point
night. I would say that Steph is on that
level now. You see it night after night. Its
awesome, but it becomes routine because he
does it so often.

after averaging 23.8 points on 49 percent

Jeremiah Testa the Padres outscored the
Chieftains in every quarter. West Catholic Athletic League Player of
the Year Jake Killingsworth added 14 points
and big man John Besse came off the bench
to pitch in 10.
It was a point of emphasis by Serra head
coach Chuck Rapp for his team to come out
focused, with the CCS Open Division playoffs featuring the top eight gunslinging
teams the section has to offer.
The difference between the Open to the

divisional play of a few years ago is when
you play in the first round, it is much more
advanced, Rapp said. Youve got to come
ready or youre going to get taken advantage of.
Palma entered play riding a 16-game winning streak. Losing just two overall games
this season, the Chieftains hadnt dropped a
game since Dec. 23, 2015 against Half
Moon Bay, a team they beat when the two
rematched in January. Palmas only other
loss came in its season opener to eventual
WCAL champion St. Francis.
So, Serra responded by opening with one
of the most even-keel halves of basketball
it has played all season. With Testa taking
his second turn through the Open Division
playoffs as a sixth man last year, he
played a key role in Serras first-ever Open
title win he said it wasnt so much
nerves, as it was caution that caused the
Padres early temperament.

Open Division stage, Half Moon Bay got
blitzed by a Bellarmine team that just couldnt miss from beyond the arc.
The third-seeded Bells knocked down 6 of
9 shots from 3-point land in the second half
to march to a 44-33 victory over the sixthseeded Cougars in Fridays CCS Open
Division opener.
Half Moon Bay (25-3) was sitting pretty
at the half, persevering through a defensive
battle over the opening 16 minutes. The
Cougars took their first lead midway through
the second quarter and held a 24-19 advantage at halftime. But the West Catholic

ultimately took over the game, flustering
the Cougars of the Peninsula Athletic League

HMB senior forward Tommy Nuo put his

Struggling through the first quarter at a 1for-6 shooting clip, the Cougars were reinvigorated by the defensive exploits of senior center Austin Hilton, which in turn
allowed Nuo to feed off the momentum at
the other end of the court.
Hilton moved to a modified zone defense
to start the second quarter, swarming
Bellarmines ball handlers at the top of the
half-court set. It helped the Cougars to
outscore the Bells 19-9 in the second quarter.

As hold first full-team workout Vogey hopes

By Jose M. Romero
MESA, Ariz. The Oakland Athletics

decided their roster needed some tweaking
even as other teams have stood pat this
month. Theyve swung a couple of significant trades, one of which
brought slugging outfielder Khris Davis over
from the Milwaukee
Brewers.
Davis and his new
teammates took batting
practice together on
Friday against live pitching, the first full-squad
Khris Davis
workout of the spring for
the As.
Its a great opportunity. Its exciting and
just a new start, Davis said. Couldnt ask
for more. Just have to be grateful for the
opportunity.
Davis, who played left field in Milwaukee
last year, has hit 49 home runs and driven in
135 runs over the past two seasons.
A .250 career hitter, Davis figures to get a
lot of at-bats against right-handed pitch-
ing, against which he batted .260 with 21

homers compared to .212 with six against
left-handers in 2015.
Davis also struck out 122 times in 392 atbats and 121 games.
I was surprised we made that deal, As
manager Bob Melvin said. I think it came
together pretty quickly. Maybe were lacking a little bit of punch, and any time you
can get some right-handed power, a guy
thats hit, what was it, 27 home runs in less
than 400 at-bats last year, its a nice complement to the middle of our lineup. So we
were lucky to get him and very happy to
have him.
Melvin added that what he saw while
pitching to Davis during a drill Friday stood
out.
The ball comes back at you in a hurry. It
looks like hes been hitting for a while.
Using the whole field. Hes got power to the
other side and it really looks like bat control, too, Melvin said. I threw him a couple of pitches in when he was trying to go
away and still was able to get his hands
inside it and hit it hard the other way.
Davis said being traded hit him when he
first walked up to the Oakland clubhouse at
Hohokam Stadium. He was drafted by

Milwaukee in 2009 and came up in the
Brewers farm system.
At the same time, its fast and youve got
to get over it fast, he said. I was ready for
it. Im here for a reason.
NOTES : New utility player Chris
Coghlan got himself unpacked and ready for
his first full day as a member of the As
Friday morning. Oakland acquired Coghlan
in a trade with the Cubs on Thursday.
Coghlan, who hit .250 with a career-high
16 home runs in 148 games last season in
Chicago, said he was pulled off the field at
Cubs spring training to be informed of the
trade and was surprised. He said hes ready to
embrace his expected role of playing several positions, and that hes tried to model his
game after former Cubs teammate (for a couple of days) Ben Zobrist, another jack-ofall-trades player. Zo made it sexy and
cool to be a utility guy, Coghlan said.
Melvin said Coghlan is aware that hell
play everywhere. Hes honored that we
look at him that way, Melvin said. . C

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. The San

Francisco Giants are stocked with talented
pitchers, with Madison Bumgarner, Matt
Cain, Johnny Cueto, Jeff Samardzija and
Jake Peavy having been named All-Stars at
least once.
Those five figure to comprise the opening
day starting rotation for the Giants. But
theres another former All-Star on the
Giants spring training roster who is trying
to make the most of the opportunity he has,

though he faces long odds to make the
major-league roster out of camp.
Veteran left-hander Ricky Romero is trying to revive a career derailed by injuries to
both knees. An All-Star in 2011 with his
original team, the Toronto Blue Jays,
Romero hasnt pitched in the big leagues
since 2013.
The Giants signed him to a minor-league
contract last May, then after granting his
free agency re-signed him in November.
Romero is throwing bullpen sessions dur-
ing spring training and

will get a look during
workouts and games,
grateful for a chance.
It means a lot. Its a
change of scenery. You
look around this clubhouse and you see a lot of
talent, Romero said.

BRADENTON, Fla. There was no excited buzz around Pittsburgh in December

though, and manager Clint Hurdle heard

Ive heard a lot of, Man, you shouldve
gone out and gotten somebody better,
Hurdle said.
The doubters dont
bother Vogelsong.
Some people might
think I came back just to
ride out my career,
Vogelsong said. Thats
not the case. I expect to
have a great season and
continue my career as
Ryan
long as I can.
Vogelsong
Vogelsong, who will
turn 39 in July, went 9-11 with a 4.67 ERA
with the San Francisco Giants in 2015. He
wasnt able to hold onto a starting spot and
ended up making a third of his 33 appearances as a reliever.
With a hole to fill at the back of their
rotation, the Pirates signed Vogelsong for
$2 million. The one-year deal includes up to
$3 million in performance bonuses.
We believe hes still got the skills to
perform at a very functional level, Hurdle
said. Hes got an edge and a hunger to his
game thats real. Thats something we like
to use for his good and for the collective
good of the club.

Fowler takes lead at Honda Classic

By Doug Ferguson
PETER CASEY/USA TODAY SPORTS
Ricky Fowler shot a 4-under 66 to take the

second-round lead at the Honda Classic.
PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. Rickie

Fowler isnt setting any course records at the
Honda Classic. Hell gladly settle for more
great golf, and the 36-hole lead.
Fowler got back to work last week in
Florida after his big disappointment in the
Phoenix Open and shot the course record at
The Medalist (66). The next day, he went an
hour north to The Floridian and shot 60 to
break the course record held by Justin
Thomas.
He set a more obscure record Friday with his
4-under 66 to build a one-shot lead over
Jimmy Walker. Fowler became the first player
to go bogey-free over the opening 36 holes in
the Honda Classic since it moved to PGA
National in 2007.
Thats a big accomplishment around this
golf course not just one day, but back-toback, Fowler said. So pleased with how Ive
managed my game.
In his first start since Fowler lost a two-shot
lead with two holes in Phoenix, he put him-
self right back in position to win.

Fowler was at 8-under 132, one shot ahead
of Jimmy Walker, who finished his round of
66 with a 25-foot birdie on the 17th and a 40foot eagle putt on No. 18. Sergio Garcia, playing with Fowler, stayed with him until the
final four holes. Garcia had a 69 and was two
shots behind.
Adam Scott also played bogey-free in wind
that was slightly calmer and in warmer weather. He holed a 10-foot eagle putt on the third
hole and two-putted for birdie on his final hole
for a 65 that left him three shots behind.
Scott has yet to shoot over par in 10 rounds
this year, with nine of those rounds in the 60s.
Its starting to get really solid, and Ive got
to just keep doing that and let the confidence
build, Scott said.
Rory McIlroy left without speaking and
wont be coming back this week. He missed
the cut for the second straight year at the
Honda Classic.
McIlroy tried to play off a muddy patch in
the hazard left of the par-3 fifth green, hit off
the rocks into the water, took a penalty drop
and made triple bogey. A birdie on the final

the line in the first half, which is what kept the Knights in
the game because as much as SHC may struggled shooting
the ball, the Knights struggles were much greater.
Menlo made only four field goals in the first two periods,
but what the Knights lacked in accuracy they made up for
with pure grit and determination. They consistently
attacked the basket and while it hurt their shooting percentage, they more than made up for it at the free-throw
line. Menlo was 16 for 17 in the first half and finished the
game 28 for 31 from the line.
We were aggressively attacking the basket (in the first
half). That was the key for us, Paye said. In the second
half, we got a little bit tired and it hurt our aggressiveness.
The Irish got their transition game going early and
opened the game with a 10-4 run and led 12-6 after the first
quarter.
In the second period, Menlo went right at the Irish. After
a Thomas putback to open the stanza gave SHC a 14-6 lead,
Menlo would outscore the Irish 18-8 the rest of the half.
As the Knights crept closer, you could see the entire team
start to gain confidence. While Erisman was doing a bulk of
the work for the first 10 minutes of the game, her teammates started to take some of the pressure off her.
Everything was going the Knights way. They outrebounded the bigger Irish 19-15 in the opening half and
while SHC used its vaunted defense to come up with seven
first-half steals, they were offset by eight SHC turnovers.
When Mohini Gupta hit a layup with 15 to play in the
hole gave him a 72, though he missed the cut

by one shot.
The cut was at 3-over 143, and Phil
Mickelson made it on the number. Mickelson,
coming off a runner-up finish at Pebble Beach
after losing a two-shot lead going into the
final round, failed to make a birdie in his round
of 74.
I hit 15 greens today and I didnt make a
single birdie. Thats a frustrating deal,
Mickelson said. I hit a lot of good shots. Im
really not complaining. I just had a hard time
getting it in the hole. I dont know what to
say. The score certainly wasnt very good, but
felt like I played all right.
Fowler had a similar round to Thursday
no bogeys, a 66, and tough par save on his
10th hole to keep his round going. He
chipped in for par on No. 10 in the opening
round. On Friday on his 10th hole (No. 1), he
was in the trees well right of the fairway and
managed to get out near the front of the green
for a simple up-and-down.
His longest par putt was 12 feet on No. 4
after driving into a bunker, and he ended the
day with a 25-foot birdie putt.
second quarter, it gave Menlo its first lead, 24-22, since it

was 1-0.
The teams went back and forth at each other to start the
third quarter. Thomas hit a pair of free throws to tie the
game at 24, but Erisman responded with a pair of free
throws of her own. But layups from Thomas and Rainah
Smith gave the Irish the lead for good, 28-26.
Olivia Pellarins wheel into the lane for a bucket cut the
Menlo deficit to 37-35 with just under four minutes to play
in the third period, but SHC outscored the Knights 11-4 the
rest of the way to take a 46-37 lead into the final quarter.
It was going back and forth (in the third quarter) and they
had that one run and it was like a punch in the jaw, Erisman
said. We felt that one.
SHC extended its lead to 51-37 with back-to-back buckets
to start the fourth, but Menlo got a 3-pointer from
Mackenzie Dufner and a basket from Pellarin to cut the Irish
lead to 51-42, but it would be as close as the Knights would
get.
Despite the first-round loss, the Knights season is still
alive. By virtue of playing in the Open Division, not only
is there a consolation round in which to participate, but
Menlo is also guaranteed a spot in the Northern California
tournament, which will be in Division IV, its normal division based on enrollment.
That means the Knights are guaranteed at least two more
games this season they will play either No. 7 St. Francis
or No. 2 Pinewood in the consolation bracket Tuesday and
will start the Nor Cal Division IV tournament the following
week.
This is a great opportunity for us to get ready for Nor
Cals, Paye said.
Added Erisman: Were just getting better and getting
ready for Nor Cal.

ZURICH Gianni Infantino is

the new president of soccers corruption-scarred world governing body,
winning election after promising
national leaders of the sport that he
would share the wealth from FIFAs
$5 billion World Cup revenues.
Infantino was chosen on the seco n d-b al l o t
Friday to fill the
unexpired term
of
longtime
FIFA leader Sepp
Blatter, who was
forced out by the
pressure of U.S.
and Swiss investigations
of
Gianni
bribery and corInfantino
ruption
that
emerged
two
days before the previous vote in
May 2015.
The stunning outcome seemed to
catch the 45-year-old Infantino offguard. He had to compose himself
before starting his acceptance
speech and saluted voters by patting
his heart with his right hand.
We will restore the image of FIFA
and the respect of FIFA. And everyone in the world will applaud us,
said Infantino, who only became a
candidate when a case of financial
wrongdoing removed his own boss,
Michel Platini, at Europes soccer
body UEFA.
I am convinced a new era is start-
ing, said the Swiss-born former

lawyer. Blatter headed FIFA for more
than 17 years.
Infantino pledged to meet quickly
with World Cup broadcasters and
sponsors, saying they they need to
regain trust and confidence in football and in FIFA.
There were only four candidates
on the ballot after Tokyo Sexwale
withdrew during his campaign
speech to voters. The four were
Infantino, UEFAs general secretary;
Sheikh Salman of Bahrain, the
Asian confederation president;
Prince Ali of Jordan; and Jerome
Champagne of France.
Infantino, who had waged a
globe-trotting campaign in the four
months leading up to the election,
gave an impressive 15-minute
speech only 20 minutes before the
first-round vote. The Swiss-Italian
spoke in several languages without
notes and portrayed himself as a
leader for the world, not just
Europes wealthy confederation.
His campaign promised to spread
the World Cup largesse to more federations, including additional guaranteed funds. He also pledged to
expand the World Cup from a 32team tournament to 40 teams, and
give more opportunities to countries to stage the World Cup with
multinational regional hosting.
The money of FIFA is your
money, he said, jabbing his left
index finger to the 207 members of
soccer federations from Afghanistan
to Zimbabwe before the election.

Baseball brief
Cardinals catcher Molina
progressing from thumb surgery
JUPITER, Fla. St. Louis Cardinals star catcher Yadier
Molina is hoping his injured thumb heals enough for him
to play on opening day.
Recovering from surgery to repair a torn ligament in his
left thumb, Molina took part in his first catching drills of
GIANTS
for me to be able to come in and have a chance to compete
makes me excited. I worked pretty hard this offseason to get
healthy and Im just taking it day by day.
Romero, 31, had his two surgeries in 2014. Before that,
he won 51 games with the Blue Jays from 2009 to 2012 and
was 15-11 with a 2.92 ERA in 2011, when he was named an
All-Star.
But injuries limited his effectiveness and hurt his control,
and Romero opted to try to pitch through the pain.
Ive always been a hard worker. Just go out there and
pitch, Romero said. I think where I went wrong was where
I tried pitching through it and I ended up hurting myself
more than anything. But you learn from those mistakes.
Romero is from Los Angeles and grew up in the shadow of
Dodger Stadium. He never imagined hed be wearing Giants
colors.
When I signed here last year, everyone back home was
like, We dont know if we can ever wear those colors, but
well be rooting for you, Romero said with a laugh. Its
VOGELSONG
The right-hander arrived at training camp last week carrying the same equipment bag he used in 2006, the final year
of Vogelsongs first stint with the Pirates.
Ive come to realize that you dont close doors,
Vogelsong said. Did I ever think Id ever come back here?
Honestly, no. But when the opportunity was there, I was
really excited about it.
Vogelsong had a bumpy ride with the Pirates early in his
career. He blew out his elbow after his second start in 2001.
While pitching in the minors in 2003, he developed Bells
palsy, which causes temporary paralysis of the face.
He made it back to the majors in 2004, but pitched poorly for some awful Pirates teams. After collecting just 10
wins in 103 appearances, Vogelsong was released after the
2006 season.
Yadier Molina
THE DAILY JOURNAL
the spring Friday.

Molina put on the gear to catch slowspeed pitches and block balls from a
pitching machine prior to the Cardinals
full-team workout. He wore a splint under
the glove to help protect his thumb.
It feels good, Molina said. Its getting stronger.
He aims to play April 3 when the NL
Central champions open at Pittsburgh.
just how it went. Its fine.

Pitching abroad was never an option. Not as long as I
still think I can compete here. Theres no reason for me to
even go that route, yet, Romero said.
The Giants were one of the first teams to call when the
Blue Jays released Romero. Manager Bruce Bochy likes his
resume and said hell build up Romeros innings in the
spring for a look as a starting pitcher.
You have a left-hander with a lot of experience. Knows
how to pitch. Gives us depth, Bochy said. We talk about
Cueto and Samardzija, but these (other starters) are guys that
could play a big part in our season, a major part in it,
whether now or later. Anytime you have a guy with his success and experience, thats intriguing. The fact hes lefthanded made us bring him back to see what he has.
Romero felt frustrated due to his injuries and the missed
time in the big leagues. He appreciates being back in the
major-league fold again.
Walking in and seeing your jersey and your last name
again, I stare at it every morning, Romero said. Its something that I never, ever take for granted from the first day I
put on a uniform until now. The good thing is I have a
chance to show what Ive got, show that Im healthy and
well go from there.
Vogelsong pitched three seasons in Japan, then got a
minor league contract back in the United States. He returned
in 2011 to the Giants, who had drafted him 13 years earlier
and notched 13 victories. In 2012, Vogelsong helped the
Giants win the World Series.
Being exiled to the bullpen last year signaled that
Vogelsongs run with San Francisco was over. He hopes to
rejuvenate his career by working with Pirates pitching
coach Ray Searage, whom he first met while in the Pirates
farm system more than a decade ago.
Rays track record with turning some guys around is
amazing, Vogelsong said.
Pirates catcher Chris Stewart crossed paths with
Vogelsong in 2011, when they were with the Giants TripleA affiliate in Fresno. What struck Stewart the most about
Vogelsong was his work ethic.
He was never not ready for a situation, Stewart said. I
think hes still got that same mind set. Maybe well make a
few tweaks physically to get him back to where he was
before. Hes determined to do whatever he needs to do to
win. Hes confident out there.

also helping the Warriors make a run at the NBA
single-season win mark.

shooting. Hes extended his streak of games with at least
one 3-pointer to 128 and counting, a new NBA record.
Reaching 400 3-pointers isnt totally out of the question; he
should eclipse the record he set last year sometime next
week.
The Warriors are 52-5, still on pace for the best record in
NBA history and could actually clinch a playoff spot when
they visit Oklahoma City on Saturday with more than six
weeks left in the season.
What the guy has been able to do is different than weve
seen, Miami guard Dwyane Wade said. Its rare to see a guy
who dominates a game that far out on the perimeter. Jordan
dominated the game from 15 feet and in, Kobe (Bryant) as
well. Shaquille (ONeal) dominated from about 7 and in.
Youve see a lot of guys dominate in different ways. We
havent seen a guy dominate the way hes dominated from
about 38, 40 and in.
If youre a basketball fan, youre a Steph Curry fan,
Wade said. Theres no reason to dislike anything about
Steph Curry.
Even opponents cant help but marvel at his long-range
antics.
Ridiculous, Orlandos Aaron Gordon said. Hes been
doing that all year long.
Currys pregame shooting and dribbling shows have
become the stuff of legend. There were more than 150 people
around the court just before 6 p.m. Wednesday most of
them with phones in hand, poised to snap photos or take
some video when Curry took the floor to warm up in
Miami. When he left, some fans were waiting for his autograph and a teenage boy held out a ball for Curry to sign.
Make it out to me, the boy said, handing Curry a Sharpie
pen.
Curry started signing his name, and the boy said again,
make it out to ... before stopping. Curry looked at him
with a raised eyebrow.
Im sorry, the boy said. I forgot my name for a second.
The nervous youngster got his autograph, as have plenty
of others.
For his part, Curry enjoys the circus that follows the
Warriors around.
We have a lot of support, Curry said. Every arena we set
foot in, its a pretty electric atmosphere. Thats what you
live for, really. To have that every single night, to get going
in that kind of competitive environment with fan support,
its pretty fun.
The Warriors have seen sellouts all season, Currys jersey
is the hottest seller in the league look around a crowd at
just about any NBA game, its out there and Golden State
merchandise is flying off the shelves as well.
And while theres no shortage of star power on the reigning champions roster, Curry is the unquestioned leader.
When you have the juice, enjoy it, Wade said. Theres
going to be somebody coming up behind him. We dont
know who that person will be. Right now, he has it and hes
doing an amazing job with it.

Trial and error

By Cindy Zhang
criminals execute the heist

and begin their escape
through the busy streets of the
gritty city. Its the kind of
drawn out sequence that can
be enough to propel an entire
film as you wait for another
set piece to top it. There is one
other masterfully choreographed raid about midway
through, but by then youre
almost too caught up in the
confusing who, what, where
his past Tuesday night, inside the

heavy walls of the South San
Francisco courthouse, San Mateo
High Schools and thus my mock trial
season came to a close. As a junior, this
was my third mock trial season, the third
grand finale, but somehow, it was completely different from the last two. Perhaps
it was my different role (I was a prosecution
attorney this year, as opposed to being a
witness like I was in previous years), perhaps it was the closer bonds I felt to my
teammates, perhaps it
was the fact that we had
qualified for semifinals,
or perhaps it was just me
growing older.
Regardless of the reason,
on Tuesday nights trial,
I found that the ending
of this years season
meant a lot more to me
than it had before, and that the narrow
defeat we lost by 11 points to Hillsdale
High School hurt more than I thought it
would have.
I have never been a particularly loud or
social person. Im not quite introverted, but
categorizing me as an extrovert would
probably be a mistake. Rather, I sort of
live in the empty space between introvert
and extrovert, sometimes crossing the
threshold to emulate the social butterflies
that populate every teenagers life, sometimes heading the other direction to sit
alone with a good book. But I was interested in law and justice, loved reading and
brainstorming, and was intrigued by the
idea of having to think on my feet and
come up with carefully witty responses like
the kind with which I had heard mock trial
was filled. So I decided to join mock trial in
freshman year, despite my doubts.
And it was absolutely painful at first. On
the witness stand, my voice was a murmur
that barely carried 2 feet, much less the
entire length of the classroom in which the
weekly mock trial practices were held. I
would memorize the facts, ready to go for
practice, and promptly blank under cross
examination. My answers, in sharp contrast to the easily clever responses for
which I had been hoping, were always fal-

Triple 9 a muddled mess

By Lindsey Bahr
Triple 9 has everything

going for it, and thats it
biggest handicap.
This tale of gangsters and
crooked cops in Atlanta has
got a murderers row of acting
talent Casey Affleck,
Chiwetel
Ejiofor,
Kate
Winslet,
and
Woody
Harrelson among them an
alluringly dark premise, and
bombastic bursts of greatness.

But ultimately, director John
Hillcoat (The Proposition,
The Road) fails to meld the
storytelling with the films
ambitious scope, the way
Michael Mann so proficiently
did 21 years ago with his
modern classic Heat.
Triple 9 starts out auspiciously enough, with a pulsating and vividly executed bank
robbery that crackles with

Diversity is not the only

issue with Gods of Egypt
By Jocelyn Noveck
First things first. Could the timing be any

worse for a movie with a diversity problem
as extensive as Gods of Egypt? Only two
days before #OscarsSoWhite Sunday, a
movie comes out set in ancient Egypt and
starring white actors from Australia,
Scotland and Denmark.
Its worth noting, of course, that both
Lionsgate and director Alex Proyas apologized back in November, saying their casting choices should have been more diverse.
They deserve credit for that, but it turns
out they had even more to apologize for.
Because Gods of Egypt is also a just plain

bad movie. The plot is confusing, yet boring. The visuals look expensive, yet
cheesily fake. And the performances are
uninteresting, yet ... well, theyre just
uninteresting.
Mostly, it seems like the producers set
out to make a video game for the preteen
set, got lost and ended up in your neighborhood multiplex.
We begin, as we said, in ancient Egypt
but in this Egypt, gods live among the mortals (and in one case, in outer space. Yes.
More on that later.) The gods look just like

Gods of Egypt is just a plain bad movie. The plot is confusing, yet boring. The visuals look

Uncharted 4 creators plot

Nathan Drakes last hurrah
By Derrik J. Lang
SANTA MONICA The creators of

Uncharted 4 much like cliff-diving,
treasure-hunting series protagonist Nathan
Drake arent afraid to take a few risks.
With the release of Uncharted 4: A Thiefs
End on April 26, directors Neil Druckmann
and Bruce Straley are ending the smartalecky fortune hunters story at the peak of
the franchises popularity. Since the release
of the original Uncharted: Drakes Fortune
in 2007, publisher Sony has sold more than
21 million copies of the Uncharted series.
Its time, said Druckmann during a recent
visit to developer Naughty Dogs offices.
Sometimes, a character just lets you know
its time to move on. For me, that was part of
the intrigue of coming back to this world.
You never see something successful in the
industry end. It usually just fizzles out.
After working on the first pair of
Uncharted games and the apocalyptic saga
The Last of Us, Druckmann and Straley
were brought onto Uncharted 4 after
Uncharted 3 directors Amy Hennig and
Justin Richmond departed the studio.
Druckmann said the games story changed
100 percent when they took over the project, the first new Uncharted installment
for the PlayStation 4.
This is the biggest, most ambitious
Uncharted let alone game that
Naughty Dog has ever endeavored to take
on, said Straley. We want to do this justice. We want it to be a mind-blowing, eyepopping,
sweaty-palms
adventure.
Everybody is bleeding out of their eye sockets to make it come together. We want to
make sure Drake is sent off properly.
Uncharted 4 finds Drake (played by
Nolan North) retired from his continenthopping career until his thought-to-be-dead
brother Sam (Troy Baker) shows up seeking
his help. Their reunion puts Drakes rela-
tionship with journalist Elena Fisher (Emily

Rose) in jeopardy. (If youre done lying to
me, then you should stop lying to yourself,
she cautions him in the games most recent
trailer.) For the developers, the introduction
of Drakes long-lost brother provided them
with a unique storytelling opportunity.
Its a way for us to get into Drakes past,
said Druckmann. This is someone who
knows things about Nathan Drake that no
one else knows. Were flashing back to when
the two brothers were young. They havent
seen each other for 15 years. Its a way for us
to lure Nate back into the world of adventure.
As they go further, well explore their differences.
The daring decree to conclude Drakes tale
isnt the only bold choice made by the
Naughty Dog team. The creators also controversially cast a white actress to portray a
black villain in Uncharted 4.
On-screen, Drakes adversary Nadine Ross
looks like a black South African private military contractor. However, shes portrayed in
the real world with a vocal- and motion-capture performance by Caucasian actress Laura
Bailey, who worked with a dialect coach on a
South African accent and was cast before
developers finalized the characters look.
The easy thing to do at that point to avoid
any controversy wouldve been to say, Lets
make her white, said Druckmann. No one
wouldve questioned it or knew there was
another option. Instead, we moved forward
with the concept for this really strong character of color that you dont see often in a
game with this person we already cast who
was great in this role.
Druckmann said it just felt right when
Baileys performance and the designers
visuals were merged together on-screen.
Conversely, Druckmann said they also cast a
black actor to portray a white character
before his appearance was locked down,
although he declined to specify the actor or
role.

TRIPLE 9
and why to indulge in the excitement.
Hillcoat, working from screenwriter Matt
Cooks Black List script, trusts the audience
to weave together the narratives of its eight
main characters by themselves without the
help of exposition a welcome challenge,
but a frustrating one as well. There are just so
many characters, subplots and motivations
to keep track of that it feels more like an
WEEKEND JOURNAL
extended pilot in the vein of The Wire or
even True Detective than a contained
movie.
Essentially, theres a cabal of mercenary
cops (Anthony Mackie, Clifton Collins Jr.)
and tattooed, ex-military baddies (Aaron
Paul, Norman Reedus, playing grease ball
brothers) who do dirty jobs for RussianIsraeli gangsters (led by Kate Winslet, packing a thick accent, blonde bouffant and
vampy press-on nails).
After the opening heist doesnt go exactly
as planned, Winslets mob-boss demands
one last job of her motivated ringleader
THE DAILY JOURNAL
(Ejiofor), who is forever tied to Winslets

whims because of the son he shares with her
sister (Gal Gadot, who amounts to no more
than scantily clad set dressing). Winslet is
trying to get her husband out of a foreign
prison and the answer apparently lies in
Atlanta security facilities.
Have you already lost track? Its not hard
to, and were only part of the way there. The
crooked cops decide that the only way to
carry out the new heist (breaking into a
Homeland Security facility) is to stage a
compelling distraction in another part of
town a 999, code for officer down. The
unlucky sap they settle on to be the sacrificial lamb is the chiefs (Harrelson) nephew
(Casey Affleck), who just moved to town and
started work at the station.
The problem is that Afflecks newbie cop
turns out to be more than a charity case and
the once generally straightforward 999
gets even murkier and more complicated. An
unsatisfying third act turn also destroys the
promise of the setup.
The talented and endlessly watchable cast

helps the confusing story chug along, even
after youve given up hope of really understanding what exactly is going on or caring
about any of the characters in the film. Its
not necessarily the fault of the actors. In fact,
for the most part, you just crave more scenes
with Ejiofor, Mackie, Harrelson and Collins.
Casey Affleck, in particular, proves once
again that not only is he the more talented
Affleck brother, but could also be one of the
greats of his generation if he could just find
films and roles worthy of his gift.
Triple 9 imagines itself a sprawling,
nihilistic epic, and it floats along for a while
on the shoulders of its prestige filmmaking
and cast, but ultimately the storytelling just
isnt up to the task.
Triple 9, an Open Road Films release, is
rated R by the Motion Picture Association of
America for strong violence and language
throughout, drug use and some nudity.
Running time: 115 minutes. Two and a half
stars out of four.
EGYPT
space ship! We think! But we cant promise!

This is where Ra (Geoffrey Rush), the sun
deity and grandfather of Horus, lives, and
occasionally bursts into flames. Rush is
entertaining even when youre not quite sure
youre supposed to be laughing. This is,
actually an issue with much of the screenplay
by Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless: Were
always wondering if its silly and self-aware,
or just plain silly.
So, when a character says, Thats not
worth the papyrus its written on, is it safe
to laugh? One wonders whether the filmmakers actually resolved this question for themselves.
The performances are serviceable at best.
Butler is all rage and bluster. Thwaites is
sweet, but seems way too relaxed and evenkeeled for someone constantly facing death,
or the afterlife, or both. Then theres
Chadwick Boseman, so memorably good in
both 42 and Get On Up that you feel for
him. Is he enjoying himself in this silly
part, or aching to get out?
As for the visuals: can something look so
expensive and so cheap at once? It looks
like those pyramids were sketched in yesterday as an afterthought, despite the $140 million budget.
Its obvious the filmmakers were gunning
for a sequel here. But this bloated enterprise
is so tiresome by the end, it seems more
likely headed for a long rest somewhere in
the cinematic afterlife.
Gods of Egypt, a Summit Entertainment
release, is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture
Association of America for fantasy violence and action, and some sexuality.

the humans, only theyre much taller, and in
really good shape, too all those centuries
in the gym, probably.
Were told in a voiceover that the good god
Osiris has decided to crown his son, Horus
(Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, of Game of
Thrones), king. A vast crowd assembles for
the coronation. But suddenly here comes
Horus uncle Set, the god of darkness (Gerard
Butler, boldly making the case that Egyptian
deities had strong Scottish accents.) Set
thinks HE should be king. To achieve this,
he stabs Osiris to death and maims Horus,
tearing out his eyes.
A very bad period ensues for both gods and
mortals. But there are only two mortals were
supposed to care about: Bek (Brenton
Thwaites) and Zaya (Courtney Eaton), an
extremely attractive young couple who are
much in love.
For reasons not worth explaining, Zaya
suggests that Bek, whose main occupation
is being handsome, but also is apparently a
talented thief, should steal Horus eyes.
These eyes (now glowing jewels) are being
stored in a super-secret vault belonging to
Set.
The idea is to return them to the wounded
Horus, so he can fight back and retake the
throne. But tragic complications develop.
Bek and Horus become sort of a god-mortal
buddy team, each with his own urgent agenda.
And suddenly theyre in outer space! On a
STUDENT
tering concessions filled with um and
bumbling pauses. But as my teammates and
coaches pushed me to speak louder, firmer,
better, I began to improve.
And to me at least before stepping
into the courthouse on Tuesday this
years season, our first-place finish in the
North Division and our subsequent semifinals qualification were assurances I had
made progress, that the hours and tears and
awkward-fitting skirts had all been worth
it. But after the trial had ended, I was no
longer sure why I had felt so vindicated, so
exuberant. Because despite the fact that I
had managed to find my voice, despite the
fact that I stepped away from the table
where I could still refer back to my notes,
despite the fact that our team had put
together countless extra practices, we still
lost, the defeat augmented by the strikingly small difference between the two team
scores.
Although I had already known that the
trial would be a tough battle and I had come
in expecting the best but prepared for the
worst, the slim margin that meant we would
not be going to the county finals changed
my entire perspective. I couldnt help but
wonder if perhaps I was to blame for those
few points maybe if I hadnt objected on
the second witness cross, if I hadnt forgotten to ask the witness about the incor-
rectly memorized dates she mentioned during direct, maybe we would have won.
Eleven points may have seemed like a lot,
but my direct and cross examinations all
together were worth nearly quadruple that.
What if I had cost my teammates, who I
have gotten even closer to, a hard-earned
victory?
And I know that such a possibility is
extremely unlikely, but its funny how the
crushing defeats the ones where it is
almost too pitiful to watch the losing team
dont affect me the way the close ones
do. Because with the narrow losses, I am
always bound to question whether I could
have changed the outcome, whether I
should have done something else instead of
what I had actually done. And maybe thats
just because a close defeat is a chance
but a chance lost, a free throw missed, a
point off, an opportunity seen but gone
too fast.
When I think about Tuesday, a small part
of me still hurts inside to think about the
mistakes I made, the questions I meant to
ask but never did, the objections I shouldnt have made but for some reason did. But
Im moving on, because obsessing over
the past doesnt help with the future and I
still have one last season to go. Im lucky
enough to have another chance and this
time, I will be sure to make even better use
of it.

Mick Jagger continues work as producer with HBOs Vinyl

By Mesfin Fekadu
LOS ANGELES As Mick Jagger is driving around Latin America on tour with The
Rolling Stones, hes seeing familiar advertisements promoting his latest project plastered around town.
This time its not his music but the HBO
series Vinyl, which he created and executive produced.
Im in Argentina and Im driving to the gig
and there are big billboards on the freeway,
Vinyl! he says happily over the phone.
Its quite funny really.
The show about the music industry in the
1970s debuted this month and has already
been renewed for a second season. It stars
Bobby Cannavale as a troubled record executive in a music industry mixed with drugs and
WONG
The Mills High School graduate said she
is thrilled to receive acknowledgment in her
own community, during the citys annual
cultural celebration.
Wong said she hopes some of the recognition she gained is able to be shared with the
rest of the Millbrae community, which she
credits with molding her onto the path to
success in the pageant.
After winning, Im screaming out to the
world that Im very proud of being from
Millbrae, she said. And hopefully Im putting it on the map for the rest of the world to
know.
Wong, who graduated from the University
of California at Los Angeles and now works
as a technical consultant at Oracle, said she
considered the unexpected victory one of
her crowning achievements.
The entire experience was one of the
MAYOR
because of his never-ending persistence in
helping his community around him.
Because Im American, I try to do a good
thing for my country, Sbitany said. Ive
been in this country 55 years.
Sbitany first arrived to the United States
at the age of 25 in 1960 where he worked in
Washington, D.C., for siblings tailoring
clothes for senators and congressmen. He
then moved to San Mateo in 1989 and
opened up a tailoring business making and
fixing clothes out of a truck at the corner of
Tilton Avenue and North B Street before getting his first shop at 138 N. B St. He worked
as a tailor for 11 years, before moving to his
current location which focuses more on
thrift items.
He got involved in the community when
he first moved to San Mateo by helping the
police identify problems in the area.
Sbitany has been known to always have an
eye out. He can always be found standing
outside his shop watching the day pass by,
which became an asset to the police.
Sbitany also praised the work of the San
Mateo police officers.
[They] did a very very good job to keep
the street safe for the public and merchants,
he said.
He feels its his civic duty to be involved
and care about his community, said Officer
David Johnson, who works the downtown
beat. He has a huge caring for North B
Street because hes been here for so many
years when many many years ago we had a
lot of problems here and its taken many
many years of cooperation with the businesses and with the police department and
with the city.
Sbitany took it upon himself to watch
out for bad people and assist police whenever needed. Because of his determination,
Police Chief Susan Manheimer dubbed him
as the mayor of North B Street.
This is why they call me the mayor of B
sex; other cast members

include Ray Romano,
Olivia Wilde and Jaggers
son, James Jagger.
Obviously its fictional, Jagger says with a
laugh. Its a drama series
and in a drama series you
really want to bring out
Mick Jagger the characters, the narrative ... having said that,
of course you also want to instill in people
the sense of the times and you want them to
buy in that. ...You have to make it believable
thats our overarching goal, whether its
actually true or not.
Jagger said filming the show which
he created with Martin Scorsese reminded him of the 1970s when the Stones were
dominating the music scene and touring
around the world.

I never worked at a recording company
like that because in that time I was working at
Atlantic Records with Ahmet Ertegun, and
theres some of that in there, but its a combination of a lot of things, he said. Its a particular crazy time and place for this particular
company.
In the series, which airs at 9 p.m. EST on
Sundays, Jaggers 30-year-old son plays the
role of Kip Stevens, the lead singer of the
punk rock band Nasty Bits.
Well, first of all, I thought he was really
good so I didnt have to worry too much. I
mean, if he was really, really not good,
maybe I wouldnt have been the one to tell
him, Jagger said. I was really pleased with
his performance.
The Jaggers worked together on the song
Rotten Apple, which Nasty Bits perform in
the debut episode on Vinyl.

Im happy to help him in any way when
Ive got time to do it, the Rock and Roll Hall
of Famer said of James Jagger.
The icon added that he didnt think of
recording his own music for the series I
wouldnt say it would never happen but
music from others for the show has been
released and more will come. Vinyl: Music
from the HBO Original Series Volume 1
was released this month and Vinyl: Music
from the HBO Original Series Volume 1:
Finale will be released on April 15, two days
before the 10-episode first season wraps.
Digital EPs will be released Friday with music
from the series.
Jagger, who has been busying producing
TV series, films and documentaries, said hes
never been interested in being a record label
head like Cannavales character in Vinyl.
most fulfilling experiences of my life, she

said. Regardless if I won or not, I would
have cherished it forever.
Beyond beating out the 12 other contestants from across the country for the top title
in the pageant, Wong also won the competitions talent contest for her acrobatics
performance.
The avid dancer honed her passion for performing in local studios while attending
elementary and middle school in Millbrae.
Always one to participate in community
events and volunteer, Wong said she thrived
in the friendly and familiar confines of her
native community.
I appreciated and enjoyed my childhood
because I liked the fact that I grew up in a
community that felt very close-knit, she
said. I think it gave me a unique perspective and gave me appreciation for the community.
She said she always loved going to the
citys Lunar New Year celebration, and looks
forward to participating in the event this
year.
The free party begins 10 a.m. in the plaza

adjacent to Millbrae City Hall, at the intersection of Library and Magnolia avenues,
and will continue on throughout the day
until 4 p.m.
The golden dragon and lion dance, an
annual fan favorite feature of the celebration, is expected to commence around 2
p.m. interspersed throughout the rest of the
day will be art, music, dance, martial arts
performances and more.
Traditionally one of the largest Lunar New
Year celebrations along the Peninsula, more
than 1,000 people are expected to flock to
Millbrae and enjoy the festivities.
Millbrae Mayor Anne Oliva said the celebration is one of her favorite annual events.
She said restaurants throughout Millbrae
have been packed with people celebrating
the Lunar New Year over the last month,
which has been a boon for local businesses.
Oliva said her favorite element of the celebration is watching generations come
together in observance of a cultural tradition.
Its so warm and so fun, she said. I love

it.
Wong said she is uncertain of what to
expect in terms of receiving formal recognition this weekend, but said she is excited to
share her appreciation for her heritage and
hometown.
She said her experience in the pageant
connected her more deeply with her roots.
It really put things into perspective
about how vibrant this Chinese community
is, she said. It really reminded me of my
culture and brought me closer to it.
In her role as an ambassador, she would
like to encourage others to appreciate their
history as well, she said.
I want to remind the youth to learn more
about their culture and heritage, she said.
Millbrae is not the only San Mateo
County city hosting a Lunar New Year celebration though.
Redwood City will host its own set of festivities, beginning 11 a.m. in Courthouse
Square. The sixth annual event is set to feature lion dancers, red panda acrobats, taiko
drummers and more. Admission is free.
Street, if anyone needs something they

always come to me and I help because I like
to help everybody, Sbitany said. All the
stores now, theyre doing good because we
work together.
This open communication has led to more
dialogue with the city about the street. In
2014, city officials launched the North B
Street Improvement Initiative.
This was a way to develop a vision for
some of these improvements and marketing
initiatives that would better connect the
North B Street businesses to downtown San
Mateo, said Rebecca Zito, senior management analyst in the city managers office.
So far, the initiative has provided the
community with planters, new trash cans,
banners and a crosswalk at the far end of
North B Street at Tilton Avenue. Pedestrian
safety was a big issue that was addressed and
one of the first improvements made.
Sbitany said that he felt like North B
Street was being left behind, but over the
last few years there have been some major
changes that are bringing more life to the
street. One major change included monthly
meetings of North B Street business owners.
The meetings helps provide input and
information that is helpful to a project,
said Ann Fienman, executive director of the
Downtown San Mateo Association. The
more we can engage our community in these
decisions that are impacting their neighborhoods, the better.
North B Street has a more local vibe with
its stores serving the surrounding neighborhood, but also brings a really great ethnic
flair that can be appealing to people who
arent looking for mainstream, Fienman
said.
Sbitany has always been a huge community-driven person and is one of the few who
has gone above and beyond, Johnson said.
Sbitany is a practicing Muslim who goes to
the mosque on 228 N. Ellsworth Ave. where
he helps spread the message that everything you do should be good for the community to the children who attend.
This is why I was born, said Sbitany.
To be nice to everyone and help everyone.

WEEKEND JOURNAL
ECONOMY
ic activity, to lift overall economic
growth in the new year after a fourthquarter slowdown.
In a separate report, the government
said the gross domestic product, the
broadest measure of economic health,
grew at an annual rate of 1 percent in
the fourth quarter. Thats an improvement from the first estimate of 0.7 percent, though just half the 2 percent
growth posted in the third quarter.
The revision was made because the
downturn in business stockpiling was
less severe than the governments first
estimate. That helped offset slightly
weaker consumer spending.
The Federal Reserve is closely
watching economic data to determine
how fast it needs to raise interest rates
this year. The spending report showed
that inflation, by a price measure preferred by the Fed, rose by 1.3 percent
in the 12 months ending in January.
That is nearly double the 0.7 percent
12-month gain seen in December but
still below the Feds inflation target of
2 percent annual price increases.
Still, the inflation jump was sharp
enough that it is sure to attract attention among Fed officials who are
watching price increases for signals
on how fast to raise interest rates. The
Fed boosted a key rate by a quarter
point in December, moving it from a
record low near zero, where it had been
for seven years.
After a stretch of economic turbulence at the beginning of the year,
HATCH
Hatch did not attend the Friday press
conference because she was home resting in bed. She suffers from agoraphobia, cancer and other ailments and does
not like to leave her home.
She wants to stay there until she
takes her last breath, Nishimura said.
You shouldnt have to go to court to
get a contract enforced. A promise is a
promise.
Hatch and Rothrock pay $960 a
month in rent. Rothrock said at the
press conference that she subsides on
$100 a week.
The lawyers said too that Kantz has
not offered any relocation assistance
economists had trimmed their forecasts for 2016 rate hikes from four
down to two. But if inflation accelerates more, that could encourage the Fed
to move rates higher more quickly.
The latest GDP figure does little to
change the fact that growth in the final
months of 2015 was modest. Since
then, global weakness and financial
market turbulence have triggered worries about the potential fallout on the
U.S. economy.
Still, economists are confident that
GDP is poised to accelerate this quarter. Steady job gains and faster wage
growth are boosting consumer spending, which accounts for more than
two-thirds of the economy.
First-quarter GDP growth is on track
to rebound to a very healthy 2.5 percent (rate) which should dampen any
concerns about an imminent recession, said Paul Ashworth, chief U.S.
economist at Capital Economics.
The fourth-quarter figure marks the
slowest growth in six months, since
the economy skidded to a weak 0.6 perto Hatch as reported and that he also
does not own the house.
The house is owned in the name of
Pamela Kantz, who was murdered in
2002. Although the legal title is still
in her name, the womans former husband has been collecting rent from
Hatch for more than 10 years, according to the lawsuit.
Hatchs story has spawned an outpouring of support from around the
world. A gofundme page has already
raised more than $45,000 to support
her.
The attorneys, however, said Hatch
appreciates the support but that the
main goal is that she allowed to stay in
her home as guaranteed.
Hatch and Rothrock, 85, must vacate
the premises by April 17.
Both tenants depend solely on
Social Security income to pay their
cent showing in the first quarter last

year. That was followed by a solid
rebound to 3.9 percent in the second
quarter and then the 2 percent gain in
the summer.
Fridays upward revision stems from
a tweak in the governments data for
business stockpiles. That translated
into a 0.1 percentage point drag on
growth, rather than a 0.5 percentage
point drag initially reported. This
change could weigh on first quarter
activity if businesses are reluctant to
add to their stockpiles.
In addition, the trade deficit subtracted 0.3 percentage point from growth,
rather than the 0.5 percentage point
drag in the first report. Exports still
suffered, reflecting the struggle
American manufacturers are having
from a stronger dollar. But the country
imported less than first thought.
Consumer spending grew at a 2 percent rate in the fourth quarter, down
from an initial estimate of 2.2 percent.
Also weighing on growth in the fourth
quarter was a downward revision to
government spending, which fell at a
0.1 percent rate instead of a 0.7 percent rise first reported.
All the changes in the fourth quarter
left GDP growth for the year unchanged
at 2.4 percent, the same as 2014.
Gus Faucher, senior economist at
PNC Financial Corp., forecasts that
GDP will expand 2.3 percent this year,
little changed from the past two years.
The decline in stock prices is something to watch out for, but consumer
spending is being helped by rising
home prices that are boosting household wealth, continued solid job
growth and increased wage growth,
Faucher said.

To try to put these women out on
the street in total disregard of the
promise made is despicable,
Nishimura said.
Through a press release issued by
Liberty, Kantz disputes whether the
agreement with Hatch and Kruse ever
existed and intends to carry out the
eviction.
Kantz is willing to give some consideration to the tenants, according to
the press release, including offering to
work with the potential buyers of the
property to see whether Hatch can stay
in her home or, if necessary, negotiating a relocation assistance package
with the help of city officials.
But Hatchs attorneys say Kantz has
not reached out to her directly.
Neither Kantz nor his attorney could
be reached for comment Friday.
