Dwayne Johnson stars in “The Fate of the Furious.”
‘Fate of the Furious’
on road to record
global debut
The eighth install-
ment in the “Fast and
the Furious” is on the
path to becoming the
biggest worldwide debut
of all time, besting both
“Star Wars: The Force
Awakens” and “Jurassic
World.”
Universal Pictures on
Sunday estimated that
“The Fate of the Furi-
ous” would earn a record
$532.5 million worldwide
over the holiday weekend,
thanks to a particularly
robust showing in 63 ter-
ritories, including China.
If the figures hold, it
will just inch past the pre-
vious record holder, “Star
Wars: The Force Awak-
ens,” which launched to
$529 million in December
of 2015 without China.
The film broke the
record for biggest inter-
national weekend ever,
with $432.3 million. The
previous record holder
was “Jurassic World” with
$316.7 million.
“There is no market
that hasn’t had a strong
reception,” said Dun-
can Clark, Universal’s
president of international
distribution. “Whatever
culture, whatever lan-
guage, whatever country,
we seem to have found a
home.”
The China opening
alone brought in a record
$190 million, followed by
$17.8 million from Mexico
and $17 million from the
U.K. and Ireland.

top the domestic charts,
but well below the $147.2
million opening of “Furi-
ous 7” in 2015.
“Furious 7” had a
groundswell of additional
interest due to the death
of actor Paul Walker, who
played cop turned street
racer Brian O’Conner, a
lead character in six of
the films. He died in a car
crash while the film was
still in production.
For the studio, “Fast 8”
stands on its own as being
“an extraordinary result.”

a fan at the
Star Wars Celebration
event in Orlando, Florida,
asked him what role he’d
like to play.
Hamill’s voice was in
rough shape after four
days at the fan event, but
he still managed to effect a
solid impression.
During the panel
Hamill recounted stories
about Harrison Ford
advising him not to ask
permission to ad-lib and
how he and the late Carrie
Fisher once sneaked into
a theater to see the 1977
“Star Wars” trailer.

The ‘North Korea problem’ Supreme Court

Trumps touts China as
partner; Pence begins
10-day trip to Asia
By Ken Thomas
Associated Press
SEOUL, South Korea
— President Donald Trump
asserted on Sunday that
China was working with
the United States on “the
North Korea problem,”
and his vice president told
American and South Korea
service members that the
North’s latest “provoca-
tion,” a failed missile launch
shortly before his arrival in
Seoul, laid bare the risks
they face.
While the North did
not conduct a nuclear test,
the specter of a potential
escalated U.S. response
trailed Pence as he began
a 10-day trip to Asia amid
increasing tensions and
heated rhetoric. Trump’s
national security adviser
cited Trump’s recent deci-
sion to order missile strikes
in Syria after a chemical at-
tack blamed on the Assad
government as a sign that
the president “is clearly
comfortable making tough
decisions.”
But at the same time,
H.R. McMaster said, “it’s
time for us to undertake all
actions we can, short of a
Vice President Mike Pence, right, arrived in South Korea on Sunday to begin a 10-day trip to
Asia that comes amid turmoil on the Korean peninsula.
military option, to try to re-
solve this peacefully.”
In a broadcast interview
that aired Sunday, McMas-
ter said the U.S. would rely
on its allies as well as on
Chinese leadership to re-
solve the issues with North
Korea. “I mean, North Ko-
rea is very vulnerable to
pressure from the Chinese,”
McMaster said on ABC’s
“This Week.”
The bottom line, Mc-
Master said, is to stop the
North’s weapons develop-
ment and make the Korean
peninsula nuclear-free: “It’s
clear that the president is
determined not to allow
this kind of capability to
threaten the United States.
And our president will take
action that is in the best
interest of the American
people.”
After a two-month policy
review, officials settled on
a policy dubbed “maximum
pressure and engagement,”
U.S. officials said Friday.
The administration’s imme-
diate emphasis, the officials
said, will be on increasing
pressure on Pyongyang
with the help of Beijing.
The officials weren’t au-
thorized to speak publicly
on the results of the policy
review and requested ano-
nymity.
Pence will be tasked
LEE JIN-MAN/ASSOCIATED PRESS
with explaining the policy
in meetings with leaders in
South Korea and Japan at
the start of his trip, which
will also include stops in In-
donesia and Australia. He
will also aim to reassure al-
lies in South Korea and Ja-
pan that the U.S. will take
appropriate steps to defend
them against North Korean
aggression.
Trump, spending the
Easter weekend at his Flor-
ida resort, reinforced his
commitment to the armed
forces under his control.
“Our military is building
and is rapidly becoming
stronger than ever before,”
he tweeted.
prepares to hear
church-state case
Justices, including
Gorsuch, will hear
Missouri challenge
By Mark Sherman
and Maria Danilova
Associated Press
WASHINGTON
— Justice Neil Gorsuch’s
first week on the Supreme
Court bench features an
important case about the
separation of church and
state that has its roots
on a Midwestern church
playground. The outcome
could make it easier to use
state money to pay for pri-
vate, religious schooling in
many states.
The justices on
Wednesday will hear a
Missouri church’s chal-
lenge to its exclusion
from a state program that
provides money to use
ground-up tires to cush-
ion playgrounds. Missouri
is among roughly three
dozen states with consti-
tutions that explicitly pro-
hibit using public money
to aid a religious institu-
tion, an even higher wall
separating government
and religion than the U.S.
Constitution erects.
Trinity Lutheran
forms of
public aid
for private
schooling.
A d d -
ing to the
intrigue is
Gorsuch the long de-
lay between
when the
Supreme Court agreed to
hear Trinity Lutheran’s
appeal, a month before
Justice Antonin Scalia
died in February 2016, and
the argument. The span
of more than 15 months
suggests the justices were
concerned they might di-
vide 4-4.
Indeed, the case wasn’t
scheduled for argument
until after President Don-
ald Trump nominated
Gorsuch for the seat.
The timing of the ar-
gument “heightened our
concern that the court has
held this case for so long,”
said Alice O’Brien, general
counsel of the National
Education Association,
which opposes state aid to
private schools.
Missouri’s new gov-
ernor, Republican Eric
Greitens, injected some
uncertainty into the high
court case on Thursday,
when he directed state
agencies to allow religious
groups and schools to re-

Meantime, a couple
flying to Costa Rica for
honeymoon removed
Associated Press
United Airlines is chang-
ing a company policy and
will no longer allow crew
members to displace cus-
tomers already onboard an
airplane.
The change comes after
a passenger, Dr. David Dao,
was dragged from a fully-
booked United Express
flight in Chicago because
he refused to give up his
seat to make room for crew
members. Cellphone video
of the incident sparked
widespread outrage and
created a public-relations
nightmare for United.
Under the change out-
lined in an internal April 14
email, a crew member must
make must-ride bookings
at least 60 minutes prior
to departure. Crews could
previously be booked until
the time of departure.
United spokeswoman
Maggie Schmerin said in
an email Sunday that the
change is an initial step in
a review of policies and it’s
meant to ensure that situa-
tions like Dao’s never hap-
pen again.
Meanwhile, a couple
flying to Costa Rica for
their wedding later this
week were removed from
a United Airlines flight in
Houston for not following
crew instructions.
Passenger Michael
Hohl tells Houston televi-
sion station KHOU he and
his fiancé moved to empty
seats because another pas-
senger was asleep Saturday
in their ticketed seats. They
insisted they complied with
a flight attendant to return
to their proper seats, but a
federal air marshal came
aboard the flight and asked
they get off. They were re-
booked on another flight.
The airline said the cou-
ple repeatedly tried to sit in
upgraded seats they didn’t
buy and wouldn’t move.
souri, says its exclusion
is discrimination that vio-
lates its religious freedoms
under the U.S. Constitu-
tion.
If the justices agree,
“the decision could have
implications far beyond
scrap tires and play-
grounds,” said Michael
Bindas of the Institute for
Justice, which is backing
the church. “It has the po-
tential to remove one of
the last legal clouds hang-
ing over school choice.”
That prospect worries
groups of public school
teachers and others who
oppose vouchers and other
ceive taxpayer money for
playgrounds and other
purposes. The court on
Friday asked both the
church and the state to tell
it whether the governor’s
announcement affects the
case.
A lawyer for the church
said in an interview with
The Associated Press that
the case would be unaf-
fected because Greitens’
policy change does not re-
solve the legal issue. But a
top aide to state Attorney
General Josh Hawley told
the AP that state lawyers
were evaluating whether
the new policy would af-
fect the case.

Virginia Tech still grieving 10 years after shootings

McAuliffe, Kaine
among the thousands
at memorial events
BLACKSBURG, Va.
(AP) — Ten years after a
mentally ill student fatally
shot 32 people at Virginia
Tech, survivors and fami-
lies of the slain returned
Sunday to the campus to
honor the lives that were
lost that day.
Virginia Polytechnic In-
stitute and State University,
widely known as Virginia
Tech, held a series of events
to mark the anniversary of
the deadly campus shooting
on April 16, 2007. Virginia
Gov. Terry McAuliffe and
U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine were
among the 10,000 to 20,000
people on the Blacksburg
campus for the solemn oc-
casion.

The shooting at Virginia
Tech was, at the time, the
deadliest mass shooting in
recent U.S. history. A mas-
sacre that claimed 49 lives at
an Orlando, Florida, night-
club surpassed it last year.
It forced schools across the
country to rethink campus
security and reignited the
debate over gun control
that rages to this day.
On Sunday morning,
McAuliffe and his daughter
participated in a wreath-

the name of a victim.
In a speech Sunday af-
ternoon, Kaine said April 16,
2007, remains “the worst
day of my life.”
Kaine had been governor
for a year and a half when
the shooting occurred.
He recalled speaking
with families as he was leav-
ing the governor’s mansion
in 2010.
“I remember saying to
them, I’ll never understand

said. “But as somebody who

After Kaine’s remarks,
short biographies of each
of the victims were read

“I was an avid bicyclist. One year I rode 1,500 miles and then the
next I rode 2,700 miles but the weight didn’t come off at all. So
I decided to see what was happening with this program. I was
skeptical at first but after the first 2 weeks I lost 8-10 lbs. Within

“I’ve been a pharmacist for over 20 years. I know the different
medications for weight loss and I did not want the side effects.
I exercised & dieted more than 3 years while my weight was still
going up. I saw Dr. Jennings’ presentation I decided to do his
program. I lost 22 pounds in 6 weeks. For a small framed woman
who is under 5 feet tall that is a very significant amount of weight
to lose. My goal was to get to 115 lbs. I exceeded my goal and
now I weight 109 pounds.”

“I wanted to lose weight because I have a history of diabetes,
stroke and high blood pressure in my family. After doing the
program I lost 35 pounds and have kept the weight off for
over a year now. I am back from traveling and I am going to do
another round. I am so happy with this program I can’t tell you.”

“I have tried a lot of different programs that are out there. I
decided to try Dr. Jennings’ program because it seemed to make
sense. I have lost over 50 pounds now. I have not been hungry
and I have never lost weight this fast or this easily. I have been
told that I look a lot better and I definitely feel better than did
before. I would recommend this program to anyone wanting to
lose weight.”

“I had symptoms of bloating. I was diagnosed with acids reflux

“This program is pretty easy to follow. It may take a couple of
days to adjust to it, but after that it’s pretty easy. My wife and

After going through the program and learning how eat foods
properly she doesn’t have those cravings any more.”

“I worked out 6 days a week for a year & didn’t lose any weight.
When I heard about Dr. Jennings’ program I thought ‘it isn’t
possible to lose that much weight that quickly’. Since I am an
engineer I read the FDA reports and did my research. After the

Pope decries attack on Syrians
60,000 hear Francis
and receive blessing
during Easter message
By Frances D’Emilio
Associated Press
VATICAN CITY — On
Christianity’s most joyful
day, Pope Francis lamented
the horrors generated by
war and hatred, delivering
an Easter Sunday message
that also decried the “latest
vile” attack on civilians in
Syria.
Both in his impromptu
homily during Mass in St.
Peter’s Square and later in
his formal “Urbi et Orbi”
Easter message delivered
from the balcony of St.
Peter’s Basilica, Francis re-
flected on a litany of suffer-
ing in the world, including
wars, oppressive regimes,
human trafficking, corrup-
tion, famine and domestic
violence.
He encouraged people
to hold fast in their “fearful
hearts” to faith, acknowl-
edging that many people
wonder where God is amid
so much evil and suffering
in the world.

Wall could leave
some Americans
on ‘Mexican side’
By Nomaan Merchant
Associated Press
BROWNSVILLE,
Texas — The last time
U.S. officials built a bar-
rier along the border with
Mexico, they left an open-
ing at the small road lead-
ing south to Pamela Tay-
lor’s home on the banks of
the Rio Grande.
Taylor hadn’t been told
where the fence would be
built, and she doesn’t know
now whether officials are
coming back to complete
it.
“How would we get
out?” asked Taylor, 88,
sitting in the living room
of the home she built with
her husband half a century
ago. “Do they realize that
they’re penalizing people
that live along this river on
the American side?”
Taylor’s experience il-
lustrates some of the ef-
fects that the border wall
President Donald Trump
has imagined could have
on residents in the Rio
Grande Valley, the sunny
expanse of bilingual towns
and farmland that form
the southernmost point of
the U.S.-Mexico border.
The wall could seal some
Americans on the “Mexi-
can side” — technically
on U.S. soil, but outside
of a barrier built north of
the river separating the
two countries. Landown-
ers could lose property,
and those that already lost
some for the existing fence
are already preparing for a
new battle.
Even if they don’t win,
lawyers hope to tie up the
wall in court long enough
that politics could effec-
tively stop it, either in
Congress or after another
election.
“That’s a fight that
we’ve been ready to fight,”

said Efren Olivares, a law-
yer with the Texas Civil
Rights Project.
The U.S. government
will select finalists to build
pieces of wall in San Di-
ego, then choose a com-
pany to complete the rest.
Ron Vitiello, chief of the
U.S. Border Patrol, told
The Associated Press on
Wednesday that a new
barrier will eventually be
built in the Rio Grande
Valley, where sections of
rust-colored poles 18 feet
(5.5 meters) high already
run through neighbor-
hoods in Brownsville and
nearby towns. Vitiello
told an audience in San
Antonio that the govern-
ment plans to complete a
wall or fence in towns that
have long been under con-
sideration.
“There will likely be
(barriers) there if all of the
plans come together, but
I can’t tell you where,” he
said.
Trump said he would
build the wall to stop mi-
grants entering illegally
and what he described as
a flow of drugs and crime.
The Border Patrol makes
more apprehensions along
the more than 300 miles of
border in the Rio Grande
Valley than anywhere
else.
In and around Browns-
ville, people have lived
next to the river for gen-
erations, and residents of
both sides cross bridges to
work or shop daily. Taylor
and others who live closest
to the river routinely see
border crossers walking
up to their homes.
Many people living in
the valley say the fence
doesn’t work, and there’s
widespread opposition
there to a bigger wall.
While the region is one
of the Texas Democratic
Party’s few strongholds
in a deeply conservative
state, many people here
resent outsiders and poli-
ticians of both parties for
using the border as a talk-
ing point.

More schools and school

healthier, locally sourced
meals at a reasonable cost.
Some are further along

Berkeley has been offering
fresh, healthy and locally
sourced foods as its stan-
dard fare for years, while
others, like Pittsburg and
Palo Alto, have gone to of-
fering such meals on a more
regular basis.
Districts such as West

About 100,000 corneal
transplants are done an-
nually in the United States
— but they require sur-
gery with donated corneas
from cadavers. The proce-
dure fails nearly a third of
the time, and there aren’t
enough high-quality donor
corneas to go around.
Other scientists have
been trying to grow a full

outer coating of the eye that
covers the iris and pupil,
from scratch, attaching a
fragile film of cells to a mem-
brane. That’s a challenging

Stanford’s innovative
strategy, eight years in
the making, is to grow in-

out ways to overcome the
barriers in providing such

Sausalito Marin City has
leveraged relationships with
farmers and suppliers to go
100 percent organic, but its
average food cost per lunch
is about $2.50, said Judi
Shils, executive director of
Turning Green.
Shils helped spearhead
a weeklong pilot project in
West Contra Costa earlier
in the year to offer organic
foods that she hopes will be
adopted districtwide.
The Berkeley district’s
farm-to-table lunch pro-
gram is about 12 years old,
said district executive chef
Bonnie Christensen. And
the district made a commit-
ment to dedicate more fund-
ing to the effort, about $1.93
to $2 per meal, which it was
able to do because residents
voted about 25 years ago to
pay higher taxes for better
school meals, she said.
While the maximum rate
of federal reimbursement
for school lunches in the
continental United States
is $3.39 per meal, public
schools in the Bay Area typ-
ically charge students any-
where from $2.25 to $4.50
or more, which pays for the
costs of labor and overhead
as well as food.
The proper infrastruc-
ture and equipment, as well
as extra staffing, are needed
to make healthier meals,
said Jennifer LeBarre, Oak-

A NEW WAY OF FIGHTING BLINDNESS?
A Stanford research team has created a potentially powerful new way to fix damaged corneas —

focuses the entry of

corneal cells.
The cells are being grown
at Stanford’s new Labora-
tory for Cell and Gene Med-
icine, a 25,000-square-foot
biological manufacturing
facility on Palo Alto’s Cali-
fornia Avenue.
The Stanford team
enlisted a recent techno-
logical advance: magnetic
nanoparticles. The particles
are incredibly small, mea-
suring only 50 nanometers
in diameter. By compari-
son, a human hair is 75,000
nanometers in diameter.
The new young cells
were magnetized with the
nanoparticles, loaded into a
syringe and injected into the
eye. Then, using an electro-
magnetic force on a patch
held outside of the eye, the
team pulled the cells into
the midst of building a $40
million central kitchen that
will allow it to go beyond
prepackaged food most
days of the week, she said.
Overhead costs aside,
hitting that standard food
budget of $1 to $1.25 per
meal is not as daunting as it
might seem because school
districts save on costs by
buying in bulk, said chef Da-
vid Isenberg, director of the
culinary program at Ralph
J. Bunche High School.
Nevertheless, “with just
$1.25, you have to have real
creativity,” said Xavier Gib-
son, 18, a senior who with his
team crafted a whole-wheat
burrito with chicken and
pinto beans, fresh coleslaw
and peach cobbler. “It’s su-
per-difficult. The recipes we
have now are totally differ-
ent from what we started
out with.”
They revised their origi-
nal recipe many times, for-
going steak for chicken,
leaving out the red and
green bell pepper, squash
and carrots, and trading out
Swiss cheese for American,
in order to whittle down the
sandwich to 88 cents, which
was topped with a serving
of baked fries for 27 cents.
But that still left just about
23 cents for a dessert. “We
only had 23 cents left for
it, and we were just sitting
there, like, how are we go-
ing to do that?” Gibson re-
called.

the magnetic nanoparticles
fell off the cells, exited the
eye and were excreted in
the patients’ urine.
Ultimately, Goldberg
said, the team hopes to
mass-produce “off-the-
shelf” cells that can be easily
transplanted into patients
with severe damage to the
cornea.
In the first trial of 11 pa-
tients, a so-called Phase 1
trial, the team studied only
safety.
Not only was the proce-
dure safe, but “we are see-
ing hints of efficacy that
we are very excited about,”

contest was a Thai chicken

ated by 18-year-old seniors

travel to Washington, D.C.,
to compete against other
states’ winning teams for

Alva Spence, food ser-
vice consultant for the Palo
Alto School District, said it
has made an effort in recent
years to not only step up its
healthy, fresh food options
but specifically cater to stu-
dents’ tastes. It offers an-
nual tasting days that invite
students and staff to sample
different dishes and vote on
which they like best. In addi-
tion, it offers sushi and pho
days that are wildly popular
with students, all the while
working to stay within that
$1 to $1.25 window for food
costs.
Considering the limita-
tions, it’s easy to under-
stand why so much of the
food offered “is just not
good,” said Xavier Gibson,
Isiah’s brother.
“But more meals like
this would bring out more
people to eat in the caf-
eteria,” said Jamal Hurst,
a 17-year-old senior. He
and his teammate, Yasmine
Lewis, 18, made a California
chicken burrito with a cole
slaw and peach cobbler for
the contest.
“It’s not really cafeteria
food,” he said. “It’s more like
a five-star meal that kids re-
ally would want to eat. And
that would help more stu-
dents not go hungry and fo-

Europe have a shortage of

toms Enforcement ar-
rested 21,362 immigrants,
mostly convicted crimi-
nals, from January through
mid-March, compared to
16,104 during the same pe-
riod last year, according to
statistics requested by the
Washington Post.
Arrests of immigrants
with no criminal records
more than doubled to
5,441, the clearest sign yet
that President Trump has
ditched his predecessor’s
protective stance toward
most of the 11 million un-
documented immigrants
in the United States.
Advocates for immi-
grants say the unbridled
enforcement has led to
a sharp drop in reports
from Latinos of sexual as-
saults and other crimes in
Houston and Los Angeles
and has terrified immi-
grant communities across
the United States. A pros-
ecutor said the presence
of immigration agents
in state and local court-
houses, which advocates
say has increased under
the Trump administration,
makes it harder to pros-
ecute crime.
“My sense is that ICE is
emboldened in a way that I
have never seen,” Dan Sat-
terberg, the top prosecutor
in Washington state’s King
County, which includes
Seattle, said Thursday.
“The federal government,
in really just a couple of
months, has undone de-
cades of work that we have
done to build this trust.”
A spokeswoman for ICE
said her agency “remains
sensitive” to victims and
witnesses and helps them
obtain visas or stays of
deportation in some cases.
But she said anyone in
the United States illegally
could be deported.
ICE “focuses its en-
forcement resources on
individuals who pose a
threat to national security,
public safety and border
security,” spokeswoman
Jennifer Elzea said in a
statement. “However, as
(Homeland Security) Sec-
retary (John F.) Kelly has
made clear, ICE will no
longer exempt classes or
categories of removable
aliens from potential en-
forcement.”
Nearly three-quarters
of the immigrants arrested
from Jan. 20 to March 13
had criminal convictions,
up 15 percent over the
same period last year.
But the biggest spike is
the arrest of immigrants
with no criminal records,
with immigration field of-
fices in New York, Boston
and other places doubling
or tripling their numbers
from last year.

with 356 noncriminal ar-
rests, more than six times
as many as the year be-
fore.
The ICE field offices
with the largest total num-
ber of arrests — more than
2,000 each — were in Dal-
las, which covers North
Texas and Oklahoma;
Atlanta, which includes
Georgia and the Carolinas;
and Houston, which spans
Southeast Texas.
Immigration detainers
— voluntary requests from
ICE to law enforcement
agencies to hold those ar-
rested beyond their nor-
mal release so that agents
can take them into custody
and deport them — also
rose, to 22,161. That was
a 75 percent jump from
the year before. But many
were issued in areas that
do not necessarily comply
with ICE requests.
Overall, deportations
are down by 1.2 percent,
to 54,741 in January, Feb-
ruary and March, com-
pared to the same period
last year. Elzea said it
can take time to remove
someone from the United
States, but the number of
noncriminals deported is
higher this year, while the
number of criminals who
were deported fell. Despite
his pledge to send crimi-
nals packing, Trump has
struggled to get countries
such as China to take their
citizens back.
Some say criticism of
Trump’s policies seems
politically charged, not-
ing that President Barack
Obama deported thou-
sands of immigrants with-
out criminal records. And
arrests this year are lower
than Obama’s first weeks
in 2014, when agents ar-
rested 29,238 immigrants,
including 7,483 noncrimi-
nal ones.
The mayor of Miami-
Dade County said in a re-
cent interview that he has
fielded more protests over
the city’s immigration poli-
cies this year than under
Obama.
“It’s all got to do with
the president,” said Mayor
Carlos A. Gimenez, a Re-
publican who said he voted
for Democrat Hillary Clin-
ton in the presidential elec-
tion. “Most of it has to do
with politics. It’s sad.”
But Anabel Barron, an
immigrant activist in Ohio,
said she is facing deporta-
tion even though she is a
domestic-violence victim
who applied for a visa. She
said ICE officials have af-
fixed an electronic-track-
ing device to her ankle.
“I’m scared to go back
to Mexico,” she said. “I’m
losing hope.”
Others fear ICE is ar-
resting immigrants in
retaliation for asserting
their rights, such as two
dairy worker advocates in
Vermont and a community
activist in New York, who
is detained.
“I honestly believe that
ICE wants to send a mes-
sage that this is what hap-
pens when you speak out,”
said Boston immigration
lawyer Matt Cameron.
corneas in the Stanford
team’s approach don’t have
to be a perfect “match.”
Rejection can be prevented
with simple topical eye-
drops.
Goldberg predicted that
the approach could eventu-
ally replace about 80 per-
cent of corneal transplants.
Specifically, it could re-
pair the damaged inner
layer of the cornea, called
the endothelium, as seen in
diseases like Fuchs’ dystro-
phy, which causes corneal
damage due to swelling. It
would not help in the 20 per-
cent of transplants needed
to fix the middle layer of the
cornea, called the stroma.
Next month, the team
will analyze its early Phase 1
data and also apply for per-
mission from the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration to
begin Phase 2.
While relatively few peo-
ple in the United States suf-
fer diseases or injuries that
cause devastating cornea
damage, the numbers are
much greater in developing
nations, where infectious eye
diseases remain common.
The new approach could
offer a nonsurgical perma-
nent solution in those coun-
tries, Goldberg said.
“Half the world has no
access to tissue,” he said.
“I would love this to be ‘one
and done,’ solving patients’
problems for decades.”

Californians over-
whelmingly passed
Proposition 54 in Novem-
ber to increase transpar-
ency in government, but
some of the Legislature’s
rules are already out of
compliance.
Proposition 54, the
California Legislature
Transparency Act, passed
with more than 65 percent
of the vote, including a
majority in all 58 counties,
and enjoyed support from
individuals and organi-
zations of all political
stripes.
Now many of those
same interests are warn-
ing that the Legislature is
failing to implement the
measure.
Prop. 54 amended the
California Constitution to
require that bills — and
amendments to bills — be
made available to legisla-
tors and posted on the
internet at least 72 hours
prior to a vote to pass the
legislation.
In addition, individu-
als now have the right to
record and broadcast all
public legislative pro-
ceedings. Starting Jan. 1,
2018, audiovisual record-
ings must be made for all
proceedings, posted on the
internet within 24 hours
and maintained for pub-
lic access for at least 20
years.
But according to a
broad coalition of orga-
nizations that supported
Prop. 54, the Legislature is
not living up to its respon-
sibilities. They detailed
their observations recently
in a letter to legislative
leaders.

April 18 will be a defining mo-
ment for our city and valley: The
San Jose City Council will decide
who belongs — and who is forced
to leave.
On this date, the city leaders
will be voting on whether or not
to protect our renter community
from displacement and unjust,
no-cause evictions.
Our city has changed: It was
once the most diverse in the
United States, but the hous-
ing crisis is creating a San Jose
where diversity can no longer
thrive.

that the Legislature wishes
to pass,” the coalition’s let-
ter stated.
“We urge the Leg-
islature to promptly
adopt stronger measures
through its Joint Rules
in order to prevent delay
or disruption of essential
governmental functions.”
In particular, the
coalition noted that newly
adopted Assembly rules
would violate Prop. 54 be-
cause they do not require
a 72-hour notice prior to
voting on bills that have
not yet been approved by
the Senate. Senate rules
refer to a customary 72-
hour notice guideline, but
do not explicitly state the
new requirement.
Both chambers also
fall short on the record-
ing requirement. Current
Senate rules improperly
prohibit recording by
the press, and an As-
sembly rule directs the
Rules Committee to adopt
certain restrictions on
recording, despite the
fact that Prop. 54 permits
only “reasonable rules” to
ensure that any recording
does not disrupt proceed-
ings — and then only with
a two-thirds vote concur-
ring in each house.
The coalition notes that
failure to comply with
these provisions would
mean that any bill ap-
proved would not pass
constitutional muster and
could be invalidated.
Prop. 54 was unambig-
uous, as was the intent of
the voters who approved
it just a few months
ago. In the interest of
transparency — and to
forestall costly delays
and litigation — the As-
sembly and Senate must
immediately adjust their
rules to comply with
Prop. 54 and the will of
the people.
servants — people who form the
lifeblood of the city — are leaving,
unable to keep up with skyrocket-
ing rents.
And some of our most vulner-
able community members includ-
ing senior citizens, veterans and
those with disability have become
victims of displacement and evic-
tion as landlords aim to achieve
higher profits.
We at PACT call on San Jose
leaders to affirmatively state we
all belong.
As a community — pub-
lic officials and faith leaders
together — we have declared
that we stand in solidarity with
immigrants against the threat of
deportation because we value the
dignity of our diverse community.
This will be hollow if we con-
tinue to allow people to be pushed
out. Today, landlords are permit-

‘Just cause’ wouldn’t be needed
if S.J. enforced its current law
By Thomas Scott
It is understandably upset-
ting when renters face eviction
just because a landlord wants to
raise the rent. When The Mer-
cury News reported that a San
Jose property owner evicted
more than three dozen renters
for this reason, tenant advo-
cates were naturally outraged.
It made me and many other
rental housing providers angry,
too – not only because it is
wrong, but because San Jose
has a law on the books that
is supposed to prevent this.
It was part of the “Cortese
Compromise” worked out in
2002 between renter advocates
and housing providers. To take
away any incentive for bad
actors to financially gain from
unlawful evictions, it prohibited
raising rent after an eviction.
We now learn that a local
landlord abused the law by
using a loophole in an incentive
program for property owners
who rent to veterans with Sec-
tion 8 vouchers. This loophole
can be fixed, and I support the
city’s proposal to do so.
Unfortunately, this situation
became a rallying cry to de-
mand “just cause” eviction poli-
cies like those in San Francisco,
Berkeley and a few other cities
with some of the worst housing
policies in the state.
“Just cause” policies are
part of complicated rent
control schemes that lock in
low rents for some long-term
tenants but hurt everyone
else. That’s because, as anyone
who has taken Economics 101
knows, when you constrict sup-
ply, demand increases for the
remaining units, and anyone
who moves in later pays a
much higher rent. That is why
San Francisco has even higher
rents than San Jose.
Just cause eviction laws are
also bad for the 99 percent who
are good residents — and the
people who own or rent single-
family housing in the same
neighborhood — because they
ted to arbitrarily evict families.
Those living in rent-controlled
units meant to provide stability
for vulnerable families can be
slapped with a 90-day eviction
with no reason attached.
And these families become
victims of displacement and
gentrification without any of the
assistance other Bay Area cities
provide.
Property owners provide
the shelter that we all need, and
they are entitled to a reasonable
profit. But we need to recognize
how city laws give landlords and
their rental incomes preferential
treatment.
Their property taxes remain
low because of Proposition 13 pro-
tections. Their capital gains are
deferred for many decades, and
their families will inherit these
highly appreciated properties

take away a property owner’s
right to control occupancy (and
parking) and make it much
harder to get rid of the bad 1
percent.
Courts favor residents
over property owners, as they
should, and we can’t require
owners to have the same
burden of proof as the district
attorney prosecuting a crime.
When bad residents are disrup-
tive, threaten other tenants and
building managers and engage
in other bad activities, such as
dealing drugs, the police cannot
always do anything, and when
they can, it takes months or
years.
Often the building owner
or manager is the only line of
defense between the 99 percent
and the 1 percent.
San Jose is not San Fran-
cisco. Community leaders need
to work together to find work-
able solutions and avoid pitting
law-abiding housing providers
against their residents, when
we know there are a few bad
actors on both sides.
Many renters are frustrated
because they don’t think the
city is doing enough. Property
with a stepped-up tax basis on
capital gains, essentially passing
on all capital gains accumulated
prior to their death tax fee.
The average landlord in San
Jose will become a millionaire
by owning one property, and the
mortgages will be paid by the
tenants — the regular, working
people of San Jose. These tenants
deserve to be safe and secure in
their homes.
We believe that housing is
a right and that people are not
commodities.
We call on San Jose’s mayor
and city council members, the
stewards of our city, to bring
more balance in our city’s poli-
cies. We call on them to proclaim
that we all belong in San Jose, by
voting to:

owners are frustrated, too, be-
cause we think the city spends
too much time and effort regu-
lating (baby sitting) the good
owners and can’t seem to do
much with the bad owners.
Let me be as clear as I can: I
am not interested in protecting
bad owners.
The city says it has received
2,000 “no fault notices” of evic-
tions in the last 14 years from
property owners. The city also
says that code compliance com-
plaints are up 100 percent over
the last year, but that tenants
are “afraid to complain.” None
of this makes sense.
The city has the power to
audit anything it wants and
prosecute those who are violat-
ing the laws. If the city doesn’t
have enough staff to investigate
the “no fault notices,” or follow
up on code-compliance com-
plaints, then it should hire some
staff and do exactly that before
passing new laws that have not
worked in other cities.

remission. Lee, who com-
pleted a year of chemo in
March 2015 and is now can-
cer-free, was the first re-
cipient. Since its launch two
years ago, the Shelter Proj-
ect has served 400 patients
across California, Gershoni
said.
He and partners Mat-
thew Lee and Nate Fergu-
son wanted to find a way
to give back to the medi-
cal marijuana community,
which had led the fight for
legalization.
“At first, we were just
giving free product to Alex,”
Gershoni said. “Then Matt
went on a surfing trip and
had a Zen moment coming
out of the water. He said
we should start an actual
nonprofit where we’re reg-
istering people and put it on
our website. It took off from
there.”
At the time, he said, Jetty
Extracts was one of only five
companies in the state with
compassionate cannabis oil
donation programs. You
must have a valid California
medical marijuana identi-
fication card and a cancer
diagnosis to sign up. A few
people who didn’t have can-
cer slipped through, but the
company said that hasn’t
happened often.
Oakland resident Kathy
Chambliss had breast can-
cer surgery in September,
followed by chemotherapy
in January. She discovered
the Shelter Project through
co-workers who also had
gone through cancer treat-
ment. She got a medical
marijuana card and signed
up.
“What I do is email them
and let them know which
one works best for me,”
Chambliss said. “It relaxes
me and helps me rest bet-
ter. Everything doesn’t have
to be a pharmaceutical.”
The Shelter Project is
run out of Jetty Extracts’
plant, tucked away in an
industrial area in East Oak-
land. The company uses
CO2 to extract cannabis oil
from plant buds for use in
vaporizers, among other
methods. The plant buds

can later be ingested.
Workers hand-pack
small packets bearing the
Shelter Project logo with
prefilled vape cartridges
and other items, which are
then delivered to patients.
Shelter Project manager
Lindsey Friedman said the
patients decide what type of
cannabis they want. Some
have done research or got-
ten advice from health pro-
fessionals.
“We provide them with
the resources to get edu-
cated on what types of can-
nabis there are and the dif-
ferent ways to consume it,”
she said. “After they decide
what’s right for them, then
we make a plan for medi-
cine.”
The company recently
began making supposi-
tories exclusively for its
Shelter Project patients be-
cause there were so many
requests for them. When
people use suppositories, 80
percent of the cannabinoids
get absorbed into the body,
far more than when vap-
ing or ingesting cannabis,
Friedman said.
“It goes straight to the
affected area and doesn’t
get you psychoactively
high,” Friedman said. “So a
lot of people who never used
cannabis and were always
against it feel comfortable
with the suppositories.”

flowers high in CBD — one
of the cannabinoids in the
cannabis plant that doesn’t

Shelter Project and refers
its cancer patients there.
“It’s more product, and
it’s also different because
theirs is cannabis oil, and
we provide flowers,” said
Harborside ombuds man-
ager Danielle Barber.
Gershoni said he wants
to expand the Shelter Proj-
ect and will be looking to
ask more businesses to do-
nate. But for now, Jetty Ex-
tracts is covering the costs
of a program that many
cancer patients have come
to rely on.

her right eye has swollen
in its socket. She signed up
for the Shelter Project six
months ago.
Numa said sometimes
her (oil) cartridges get
stuck, but whenever she
has problems, the Shelter

sponsive.
“I wake up, and I can’t

have been counted as
“present” in records used
to calculate the amount
of funding the schools get
from the state. And last
year, the company reached
a $168.5 million settlement
with the state over claims
it had done just that.
A spokesman for K12
declined to comment on
the legislation.
California’s effort to
rein in for-profit charters
is at odds with the Trump
administration, whose top
education official, U.S.
Secretary of Education
Betsy DeVos, has long
been a supporter of the
very for-profit companies
these bills aim to stifle.
When DeVos’ hus-
band, Dick, ran for gover-
nor of Michigan in 2006,
he disclosed that they
were early investors in
K12. And as chairwoman
of the American Federa-
tion for Children, a school
choice advocacy group,
Betsy DeVos repeatedly
called for expanding
families’ access to online
“virtual” schools.
McCarty’s bill would
bar charter schools oper-
ated by for-profit compa-
nies or management or-
ganizations, and it could
block companies like K12
from running schools in
this state.
It would also impact
three online schools man-
aged by a for-profit com-
pany called Connections
Academy whose reading
test scores exceed the
state average, according
to state education data.
The measure re-
sembles legislation that
stalled in the final days
of last year’s legislative
session after the Califor-
nia Teachers Association
and the California Char-
ter Schools Association
failed to reach agreement
on amendments.
Virginia-based K12
now faces a federal securi-
ties fraud lawsuit filed by
shareholders as well. Seek-
ing to dismiss the case, the
company has argued in
court filings that the plain-
burden to prove the com-
plaint is justified.
Still, in the months
since Trump’s election,
K12’s stock price has al-
most doubled.
“These companies are
ripping off taxpayers and
making a lot of money at
students’ expense,” Mc-
Carty said. “Enough.”
The California Charter
Schools Association shares
McCarty’s concerns, but
the powerful advocacy
group disagrees with his
approach.
Fearing that overbroad
language in AB 406 could
impact routine contract-
ing and send successful
charter schools’ opera-
tions into disarray, the
organization is sponsoring
an alternative, Senate Bill
806.
Authored by Demo-
cratic state Sen. Steve
Glazer of Orinda, the
measure seeks to create
a “firewall” between for-
profit contractors and the
nonprofit charter schools
they serve.
SB 806 would prohibit
the companies from select-
ing a school’s board mem-
bers, approving its budget
or supervising any of its
teachers. It would also
force all charter schools to
comply with existing open
meeting and open record
laws.
“We don’t think it’s
appropriate to prohibit
charter schools from con-
tracting with (for-profit
companies). We want
to create some nuance
around when that sort of
contracting is appropri-
ate,” said Colin Miller, a
senior adviser to the asso-
ciation.
Lawmakers will con-
sider the measures for
the first time in education
policy committee hearings
scheduled for later this
month and early May.

Is crating
a dog a
form of
cruelty?
DEAR JOAN: My daughter
bought a Great Dane puppy
as a birthday present for
her husband almost two
years ago. He still chews
on whatever odd shoe or
stuffed animal is lying
around and will bark across
the fence at the neighbor’s
dog.
My daughter is worried
about the chewing and has
said: “We can’t trust him.”
Thus, they leave him in a
crate in the laundry room
from the time they leave for
work to the time they get
home, late afternoon.
He also
has to sleep
in a crate at
night, which
is in their
bedroom.
They bought
JOAN MORRIS the largest
ANIMAL LIFE crate made,
but this is a
Great Dane — he can turn
around, barely, but can’t
fully stand.
I feel so bad for the dog.
It’s like the poor thing is
left in a cramped jail cell.
My daughter seems to
think that dogs like being
crated and it makes them
feel safe. I think it’s cruel.
Who’s right?
Robert Jones
San Jose
DEAR ROBERT: Dog crat-
ing has its supporters and
detractors. There’s no
doubt it’s a useful training
tool, especially for puppies
being housebroken. It also
can be used to teach dogs
not to chew on things. It
should never be used as a
form of punishment or for
the mere convenience of
the pet owner.
Dogs spend about 16
hours a day sleeping, and
they often do feel more
comfortable and at ease
in a cozy, enclosed spaces.
Those who study domestic
dogs, wild dogs and wolves,
calling it “denning.”
If the dog has no bad
associations with the crate,
they are happy to go inside
to sleep, feeling protected
and safe.
Dogs never should be
left in their crates for more
than half the day, or longer
than overnight. I think your
daughter is pushing the
time limit on her dog, and I
hope that when she and her
husband get home, they let
the dog out and interact with
it, walking and playing.
Dogs are social creatures
and need the company of
other dogs and humans.
If they are left too long in
a crate, they can develop
“cage rage,” and become de-
pressed, anxious or fearful.
The size of the crate
matters, too. It should be
large enough for the dog
to turn around, but it also
needs to be tall enough that
the dog can stand without
stooping. In addition to the
overall isolation in a crate,
dogs need exercise so
spending too long in a crate
is not good for them.
I recognize the difficulty
of dealing with a dog that
can’t be trusted, however,
the dog shouldn’t be pun-
ished or caged. It should
be trained. When the dog
is in its crate during the
day, your daughter should
give him a toy that contains
treats inside that the dog
has to work to get out.
This will not only pro-
vide him with mental and
physical stimulation, it also
will teach him that chewing
on certain things is reward-
ing, chewing on others is
not. When he’s out of the
crate, your daughter and
son-in-law should watch
him and if he starts chew-
ing on something he’s not
supposed to, gently divert
his attention with some-
thing that is OK to chew.
Once the dog has earned
your daughter’s trust, she
should let the dog decide
when to go into the crate.
In the meantime, she needs
to invest in a slightly taller
crate.

Kirk Dougherty as Rodolfo and Sylvia Lee as Mimi deliver powerful performances in Opera San Jose’s new production
of “La Bohème” at the California Theatre through the end of the month.
‘La Boheme’ still relevant for our times
Updated production
about doomed lovers
trapped in poverty
By Georgia Rowe
Correspondent
There’s a moment in
Act III of “La Bohème”
when the young lovers
Mimi and Rodolfo, meet-
ing outside an inn on a
freezing winter night,
sing longingly about the
warmth of April.
It’s just a brief episode,
but it’s an uncommonly
poignant one, and at Opera
San Jose’s vibrant open-
ing night performance of
Puccini’s opera Saturday
at the California The-
atre, it seemed to radiate
warmth as only this ever-
green masterpiece can.
For operagoers who
have experienced “Bo-
hème” numerous times
— and that includes pretty
much anyone who attends
live opera on a regular ba-
sis — the 1896 melodrama
about struggling young
artists enduring a Pari-
sian winter can be easy to
dismiss.
But when the piece is
Berkeley
Police arrest 23 in violent protests
Stabbing among 11 injuries as Trump
supporters, opponents clash in park
By Rick Hurd
rhurd@bayareanewsgroup.com
BERKELEY — The ar-
rest total from Saturday’s
violent clash between pro-
testers supporting or op-
posing President Donald
Trump grew to 23 on Sun-
day when Alameda County
Sheriff’s Office officials re-
leased the names of those
who were nabbed.
Police late Saturday
originally announced 20
arrests and 11 injuries after
fighting broke out at Mar-
tin Luther King Jr. Civic
Center Park, where Trump
backers and members
of the so-called alt-right
movement held a “free
speech” rally. Opponents
of the movement, calling
themselves anti-fascists,
also were there among the
crowd of about 200.
The two sides wasted
no time in going after each
other with fists, sticks,
flagpoles and worse.
Eleven people were in-
jured, including one per-
son who was stabbed, po-
lice said.
According to the Sher-
iff’s Office arrest log, seven
people were arrested on
suspicion of committing
felonies, and 16 others
were arrested on suspicion
of committing misdemean-
ors. Berkeley police did not
return phone calls Sunday,
but the Sheriff’s Office con-
firmed the arrest log.
performed with the kind
of vocal assurance and
dramatic flair that was in
evidence throughout Sat-
urday’s opening, it’s a won-
derful night in the theater
— and a bracing reminder
that our own young artists
are still struggling to sur-
vive in freezing garrets,
and the divide between
rich and poor is growing
wider than ever.
This revival, directed
by Michael Shell and
conducted by Joseph
Marcheso, caps a strong
Opera San Jose season
that included Donizetti’s
“Lucia di Lammermoor,”
Rossini’s “The Barber of
Seville” and Kevin Puts’
“Silent Night,” and it
boasts a sturdy, faithful
staging and a youthful,
fully engaged cast.
Saturday, the quartet of
singers at the center of the
opera was especially viva-
cious, beginning with the
Mimi of Sylvia Lee, whose
lithe, pure-toned soprano
projected the consumptive
seamstress’s girlish sweet-
ness in silvery, forthright
phrasing (Lee repeats the
performance on April 20
and 30; soprano Julie Ad-
ams will sing the role April
23 and 28).
Michael Hornsby, 27;
Willie Morning, 59; Geo-
vanni Ramirez, 32; Tahtan-
erriah Sessomshowell, 26;
Carlos Barbarossa, 29;
Luke Dennis, 36; and Rob-
ert Peete, 52, face felony
charges, according to the
log.
“The charges include
arrests for assault with a
deadly weapon and sev-
eral other felony assaults,”
police said in an announce-
ment Saturday evening,
adding that more arrests
would likely be pursued
after video and social me-
dia posts were reviewed.
Police in riot gear
were on hand to try to
keep the peace, with lim-
ited success. During the
melee, loud explosions
were heard in the crowd,
immediately followed by
fistfights. BART closed its
downtown Berkeley sta-
tion during the protests.
In its Saturday state-
ment, police said officers
tried to protect people and
their free speech rights —
despite organizers’ lack of
a permit — by prohibiting
potential weapons, limiting
park entry and exit, and
sharing citation and arrest
risks for rule violations.
They put up a plastic barri-
cade in an attempt to keep
the opposing sides apart
and collected anything that
could be used as a weapon.
Police had banned metal
pipes, baseball or softball
OPERA SAN JOSE
Presents Puccini’s “La
Boheme”
When: through April 30
Where: California Theatre,
San Jose
Tickets: $56-$176;
408-437-4450;
www.operasj.org.
As Mimi’s lover, the
poet Rodolfo, resident
tenor Kirk Dougherty
made his finest company
outing to date. Singing
with power, focus and
elegant musical line, he
delivered his Act I aria,
“Che gelida manina,” with
ardor and generous, ring-
ing tone.
Baritone Matthew
Hanscom sounded im-
pressively robust through-
out the evening, offering a
likable, big-hearted char-
acterization as Rodolfo’s
painter friend, Marcello.
The production’s surprise
entry was soprano Van-
essa Becerra, who made
her company debut as an
opulent-voiced Musetta in
the Café Momus scene.
As the philosopher Col-
line, bass-baritone Colin
Ramsey gave an assured
performance of the Act IV

bats, lumber or wood of any
size, poles, bricks, rocks,
glass bottles, pepper spray
and other objects.
Despite their efforts,
police said officers con-
fiscated pepper and bear
spray, knives and mace, an
ax handle and a concrete-
filled can at Saturday’s
protest, and that city staff
cleaning the park before
the rally found a replica
gun.
Saturday’s protest fol-
lowed a series of demon-
strations — both violent
and nonviolent — that
have swept the country
since Trump took office in
January.
A March 4 rally and
counter-protest in Berke-
ley, planned by several of
the same groups as those
who announced this one,
also resulted in several in-
juries and arrests.
In February, a sched-
uled appearance by former
Breitbart News editor and

PAT KIRK/OPERA SAN JOSE
James Myer brought
energy and depth to the
musician Schaunard.
Baritone Carl King was
amusing as the landlord,
Benoit, and bass-baritone
Vagarsh Martirosyan was
Musetta’s elderly sugar
daddy, Alcindoro. The Op-
era San Jose Chorus made
well-calibrated contribu-
tions in the Act II crowd
scenes.
There are a few un-
usual touches in Shell’s
production, which unfolds
on effective sets by Kim
A. Tolman, with lighting
by Pamila Z. Gray and
costumes by Alina Bokov-
ikova.
Act I opens on Christ-
mas Eve, and Shell moves
it forward a few years, to
the first Christmas Eve af-
ter World War I. Colline is
blind — perhaps from an
injury sustained in the war
— and he and Schaunard
seem to suggest a closer
relationship than we see
in most productions of this
opera.
No matter — this is
still the “La Bohème” op-
era fans love, with all of
Puccini’s warmth, heart-
ache and enduring music
intact.

boarded up windows in ad-

Two
critical
after fire
at motel
Unit at Casa Linda
Motel badly damaged
in the explosion
By Eric Kurhi
ekurhi@bayareanewsgroup.com
SAN JOSE — Two peo-
ple were critically injured in
an explosion at a Monterey
Road motel early Sunday
that’s being investigated as
a crime scene, according to
fire officials.
One unit at the Casa
Linda Motel at 1669 Mon-
terey Road was badly dam-
aged in the blast, said fire
Capt. Mike Van Elgort, with
the inside looking “like it
had a flashover in there”
and a window blown out.
“Fire investigators are
checking for origin and
cause,” Van Elgort said,
“but police are investigat-
ing and it is considered sus-
picious.”
There was no further
information immediately
available about the two
adults injured in the blast,
who were both taken to lo-
cal hospitals.
The explosion was first
reported at 12:27 a.m.,
and a second alarm was
quickly sounded because
of accounts coming in. But
arriving firefighters were
able to quickly knock down
the blaze and no other units
were affected, although
they were evacuated while
inspectors checked the
building’s structure for
damage.
Another fire early Sun-
day caused significant dam-
age to a Wienerschnitzel
restaurant on the 2800
block of Story Road. While
the cause is under investi-
gation, Van Elgort said it
appears to be accidental.

Man
surrenders
after theft
of football
By Ramona Giwargis
rgiwargis@bayareanewsgroup.com
MILPITAS — Police
have arrested a man in con-
nection with a stolen foot-
ball signed by Hall of Fame
football player Jerry Rice
and auctioned at a charity
event.
San Jose resident Pat-
rick Van Lam, 45, was
caught on video after a live
auction April 9 at the Koi
Palace restaurant in Milpi-
tas. Once Lam realized his
image from the video was
released to local media, he
surrendered to detectives
on Saturday, said Milpitas
Police Sgt. Steven Fox.
Lam returned the foot-
ball, police said, and was
booked into Santa Clara
County main jail on bur-
glary and grand theft.
The football was auc-
tioned for $3,500 to Amy Fu.
The theft happened when
Fu left the football unat-
tended at the restaurant’s
front desk to take a photo,
police said. Two suspects
were seen grabbing the ball
and taking off. The suspects
were diners unassociated
with the fundraising event.
Officers are searching for
other “persons of interest.”
The auction raised
money to benefit the Prince
of Peace Children’s Home
in Tianjin, which funds sur-
gery and medical care for
orphans with special needs.
Anyone with any informa-
tion regarding the suspects
or persons of interest is asked
to call the Milpitas Police De-
partment at 408-586-2400.

Robles, who works at the in-
spection station searching
for invasive mussels at An-
derson Lake County Park.
“but with this weather, we
didn’t see too much.”
Steve Anderson, a fore-
caster with the National
Weather Service, said more
of the same can be expected
for much of the Bay Area
until midweek.
“It’s just one storm, but it
will bring showery weather
through about Tuesday be-
fore we start to dry out and
warm up,” Anderson said.
“Everyone has an equal
chance of catching one of
the heavier downpours —
it’s impossible to say where
those will happen.”
But Anderson said it’s
going to be mostly light
showers, causing “no antici-
pated problems at all.”
Meanwhile, the record
for the wettest water year
for the Northern Sierra fell
on Thursday, when storms
raised the bar above the

old high of 88.5 inches, set
in the 1982-1983 season. It
currently sits at 90.2 inches
and rising.
Back at Anderson Reser-
voir, the water level reached
a milestone of its own when
it dropped to 68 percent
capacity midafternoon Sun-
day despite the rain.
That’s the first time
it has gotten to that level
since it crested the spillway
in February in what’s been
called a harbinger of the
Coyote Creek flooding that
came three days later.
The Santa Clara Valley
Water District is required
to keep the lake at that
lower level because of seis-
mic concerns, and a release
pipe was still blasting water
out on Sunday.
Ed McGettigan, who lives
in Morgan Hill and hikes up
“There’s an island out
there that pops up when the
water is low,” he said. “And
it was still low in January,
then it went to the top in
just a few weeks.”
While Easter weekend
didn’t bring the anticipated
boating boon to Anderson
Lake, Anderson, the fore-
caster, said just wait until
next weekend — no rain in
sight, and temperatures in
the 70s and 80s.
Tamara Clark, spokes-
woman for Santa Clara
County Parks, said she’s
heard a lot of buzz from
boaters — they’re eager to
get back onto waters that
after five years of drought
had been considerably less
conducive to fishing and
fun.
Saturday marked the
start of boating season at
Coyote Lake and Stevens

opened up April 1.
“They’re excited, the
ones from this area and be-
yond,” she said. “It’s been
so long since we’ve seen this

Making a splash Menlo Park

Canines take leap at dog show Man dies in RV fire

By Ellen Garrison
The Sacramento Bee

Australian shepherd
Dylan barked while staring
fixedly at the orange toy
held by his owner, Geor-
gia Livell-Hower, as she
moved down the launch
pad. As she threw the
toy over the water, Dylan
sprinted down the dock
and launched himself in
pursuit of the toy, landing
with a splash.
Dylan was a top con-
tender in the North Amer-
ica Diving Dogs competi-
tion held outside of the
Sacramento Dog Show at
Cal Expo on Sunday. Inside
the pavilions, thousands of
dogs competed over four
days, culminating in Sun-
day’s event. Other than
the sporty diving dogs and
barn hunt competitions
held outside, there were
obedience competitions
and conformation compe-
titions, which judge how
closely a dog meets the
American Kennel Club’s
standards for the breed.
Dylan was at the show
for the diving competition.
Livell-Hower occasionally
shows him in obedience
shows, but he’s mostly a
performance dog, mean-
ing he participates in sport
competitions.
“It’s his favorite thing,”
Livell-Hower said. “When
we parked, he saw them
putting up the dock and he
wouldn’t shut up. I had to
close all the blinds (in my
RV).”
The North America Div-
ing Dogs competition was
new this year at the dog
show, with all of the equip-
ment brought by Lise Ann
Strum and her husband,
Scott Dike.
“We’re always looking
for new things to add to the
show,” said promoter Rich
Vida. “(Diving dogs) draw
quite a crowd.”
The diving pool looks
like a wider and shorter
lane from a swimming pool
for people, but there’s a
long turf dock leading up
to the edge so the dogs
can work up momentum.
Strum got involved with
North America Diving
Dogs when her Belgian
Malinois, Vhoebe, jumped
almost 25 feet on her first
time off the dock.
“We started doing it
as a sport and then we
started doing it as a busi-
ness,” Strum said. “We had
no idea (this sport existed).
This dog has taken us on an
adventure.”
For the last three years,
Strum and Dike have taken
the mobile diving dock to
American Kennel Club
dog shows in the western
United States.
Titles won on the dock
are recognized by the AKC,
but a dog doesn’t have to
be part of the club to par-
ticipate.
The Sacramento Ken-
nel Club’s dog show is al-
most 100 years old. It be-
gan as part of the state fair
before growing to include
specialty clubs and events
such as dock diving.

MENLO PARK — A 52-
year-old man died Sunday
morning when his recre-
ational vehicle caught fire,
an incident the city’s fire
chief called tragic.
The fire was reported
about 5:55 a.m. at 3190 Park
Lane in North Fair Oaks,
an unincorporated area of
San Mateo County. Fire
crews from Menlo Park and
Redwood City found smoke
coming from an RV parked
at the Park Lane address,
said Menlo Park Fire Pro-
tection District Fire Chief
Harold Schapelhouman.
The RV was loaded with
“an extreme amount of stor-
age,” but firefighters even-
tually worked their way to
the back of the vehicle. Af-
ter extinguishing the blaze,
Schapelhouman said, crews
“Sometimes we

found a man unconscious in
the back of the vehicle. Fire
officials performed CPR, but
the man was in full cardiac

He was taken by ambulance

he later died.

extension cord running
through the driver’s side
door caused the fire.
“The cord had become
frayed over time and that
was the cause of the fire,”
Schapelhouman said. “It’s
not the way you should
power an RV, but it appears
he was living in there.”
As Bay Area housing
costs skyrocket, the fire
chief said, he’s seen people
living in a variety of unsafe
situations.
“These days we find
people living in sheds, base-
ment and attics — the Bay
Area is a booming place and
housing is expensive,” he
said. “And sometimes we
find people living in a way
where they power or heat
things that create problems.
It’s tragic.”

Slow recovery in San Joaquin Valley

For some, drought lingers

Many people must
still use water stored
in tanks in their yard

By Scott Smith
Associated Press

Nguyen Ngoc Hanh edits, prints and talks to students in the photography class he taught at
the Indochinese Refugee Resettlement Center, in San Jose.
Hanh
Continued from Page 1
graphic genius,” said his-
torian Jean Libby, a friend
of Hanh’s who lives in Palo
Alto. Libby, 76, said the
power of Hanh’s photo-
graphs was in his distinct
and intimate portraits.
“When you have a por-
trait done by a master pho-
tographer, it’s very special,”
she said. “His close-up work
is recognizable. I can see
something online and I can
recognize it as his.”
At age 10, Hanh was
taken by French troops
from a Catholic orphanage
in Ha Dong, outside Hanoi,
according to Libby. The
troops a year later took him
to France, where he was ed-
ucated in Catholic schools.
He returned to his home-
land in 1946, when Vietnam
was still a French colony.
About a year later, he
secretly joined a commu-
nist youth group as part of
the Vietnamese resistance.
But when he was asked to
kill a French family of five
to prove his loyalty to Viet-
namese communist leader
Ho Chi Minh, Hanh hid
them instead after listening
to their pleas.
After the Vietnamese
defeated the French at Dien
Bien Phu in 1954, Hanh
joined the South Vietnam-
ese army and stayed in the
military until North Viet-
namese tanks rolled into
Saigon in April 1975. Rather
than fleeing with other of-
ficers, he took photos of the
South Vietnamese soldiers
left behind, according to
Libby.
Hanh’s pictures were
soon confiscated by the new

regime, and he was sent to a
“re-education” camp along
with tens of thousands of
other South Vietnamese of-
ficers. At one point, he was
forced to live 16 months in
a metal container in which
he couldn’t stand up or lie
down. He was allowed out
for only two hours a day but
was forced to kneel on bro-
ken glass and stare at the
sun.
When he returned to
his home eight years later,
Hanh found out that his
wife and children had fled
the country. His house was
occupied by strangers.
“They were raising pigs
upstairs,” Hanh told Mer-
cury News reporter De
Tran in 1995. “There was
unbearable heartbreak.”
Hanh had arrived in San
Jose in 1989 as a refugee af-
ter fleeing Vietnam by boat
four years earlier. Divorced
from his wife and estranged
from his children, he took a
job delivering mail to em-
ployees at Cirrus Logic,
a computer technology
company in Fremont. He

learned English with the
help of co-workers.
His visual career also
took on a new life when he
began teaching photogra-
phy to local youth. It was
one of his greatest passions,
according to Tam Nguyen,
a San Jose city councilman.
“He always had a smile
on his face. He was very
humble, simple and ap-
proachable,” Nguyen said.
“That’s why he had a lot of
students. They all loved him
so much.”
Nguyen said Hanh put
his soul into his work.
“It’s a sad loss because
he was one of a few of the pi-
oneers who helped establish
the art of photography for
South Vietnam,” Nguyen
said.
Hanh spent much of his
postwar life photographing
mountains, streams and
bridges.
“Mountains may erode,
rivers may run dry, ” he
once said. “The sky and the
moon may change, but I’ll
never forgive the commu-
nists.”
HANFORD — Knee-
high tufts of grass dot the
streets of Hardwick, a ru-
ral neighborhood with a
few dozen homes hemmed
in by vineyards and walnut
and almond orchards in
California’s agriculture-
rich San Joaquin Valley.
Nearby, the Kings River
— swollen with rainwater
and Sierra Nevada snow-
melt — meanders through
fields. Water is abundant
in the river but it may not
last.
Despite winter storms
that have turned much of
California’s parched land-
scape to vibrant green, the
drought has yet to loosen
its grip on thousands of
residents in the valley.
Many people must still use
water stored in large tanks
in their yard to wash dishes
and bathe.
Scientists at Stanford
University and NASA say
excessive pumping of wells
during the drought has
tapped out some under-
ground sources of water
that will never recover.
At the height of the
drought, nearly 2,400 wells
dried up, affecting 12,000
people, state officials said.
The drought emergency
remains in effect in Kings,
Fresno, Tulare and Tu-
olumne counties, even after
one of California’s wettest
winters in years prompted
officials to declare an end
to the historic, five-year
dry spell in nearly all of
the nation’s most populous
state.
David Miguel relies on
water from a large, black
emergency tank located
just steps from the front
door of his mobile home. A
water delivery truck tops it
off every few weeks.
“You can take a bath
with it, do dishes — no
problem,” said Miguel, a
64-year-old retired farm
hand who was raised on his

family’s long-gone dairy
operation in Hardwick. “I
wouldn’t drink it.”
Miguel and his neighbor
survive on the trucked-
in water and deliveries of
bottled drinking water.
They live in the last two
Hardwick homes awaiting
a state grant to hook into a
reliable water main.
Miguel doesn’t know
when his home will get con-
nected to the new 470-foot
community well outside the
county fire station, but he
anticipates a $50 monthly
water bill — more than it
costs to run his own well.
Miguel laughed when
asked what he thinks about
Gov. Jerry Brown’s re-
cent declaration that the
drought is over for most of
California.
“Oh, is that so?” he
joked.
Keeping the emergency
declaration in place in a
few areas allows officials to
prolong efforts to find per-
manent water supplies for
desperate residents.
In parts of the San Joa-
quin Valley, underground
aquifers — layers of earth
saturated by water — col-
lapsed from over-pump-
ing during years of dry
weather, according to
scientists at Stanford and
NASA who studied satel-
lite imagery to measure
sinking land.
They say layers of clay
soil have compacted, per-
manently reducing natural
aquifer storage capacity.
Throughout the San Joa-
quin Valley, the situation
has left roughly 900 homes
relying on storage tanks for
residential water.
SCOTT SMITH/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Emergency water tanks
for residents have cost the
state nearly $28 million
since 2014, with more than
half in Tulare County.
Calls for help have slowed
significantly, said Susan
Atkins of Self-Help Enter-
prises, a nonprofit organiza-
tion that helps residents get
tanks and navigate govern-
ment bureaucracy.
“But they’re still com-
ing in,” she said about the
calls.
In Hardwick, which has
no sidewalks or street-
lights, residents say their
wells began drying up after
farmers on three sides of
the community dug deep
wells to irrigate their or-
chards during the drought,
when water from rivers
and canals was scarce.
Resident Alvin Lea said
his 120-foot well that was
drilled in the 1960s dried
up, costing him $17,000 for
a new one that was more
than 100 feet deeper.
Lea, 77, a retired me-
chanic, keeps his swim-
ming pool full for his great-
grandchildren to play in
during scorching summer
days. He raises 200 exotic
birds, which also need to
drink, he said, tipping back
the brim of his hat to peer
at them through a wire
mesh enclosure.
Randy Herman, a long-
distance trucker with a
family, says it’s obvious to
him that his community is
a long way from rebound-
ing from drought.
“You got tanks, you got
water bottles,” Herman
said. “I don’t think the
drought’s over. It’s going
to take a long time.”

In Loving Memory
Clara M. Brown-Jones
Loving Clara Brown-Jones, passed away on Tuesday
April 11th at Stanford Hospital, just a few days short of
her 78th birthday. At the time of passing Ms. Clara was
surrounded by her baby daughter, and sisters at bedside.
She was born in Kingston Jamaica, and is the middle child
of nine siblings. She settled in Northern California in the
1970’s, where she then worked as a nurse at Stanford
Hospital for over a decade.
Ms. Clara was a very considerate and loving person, al-
ways thinking of others. In fact, even while battling ill-
ness she shared her concern to the nurses for their lack
of sleep working in the wee hours of the morning ask-
ing them to please get rest and apologizing to the doctor
for having to care for her. On behalf of the doctors and
nurses at Stanford Hospital that treated my mom during
her illness, I would like to thank them dearly for giving
my mother the best care, and for extending sincere kind-
ness and patience to her. Quoting my dear mother “The
nurses are so loving.” And yes everyone was truly loving
to my mother and our family, that extended love was in-
strumental with helping us get through that difficult time.
Ms. Clara had a heart of gold, she always made sure
her family and closest friends were taken care of. She
was a care giver to everyone. She loved to cook, travel,
and work in her garden, and was deeply devoted to her
family. In addition to her deep love for her family she
also had an intense love for god. She worked as a mis-
sionary for many years, and remained loyal up until her
last breath. My sweet mother had an infectious smile and
laugh. She lightened a room with her warm smile and
greeting. Anyone who met my mother always adopted her
as their own. She will be truly missed by her two daugh-
ters, three grandchildren, five great grandchildren, three
sisters, and a host of nieces, nephews, and many loving
friends.
Friends and family are invited to attend a quiet view-
ing at Spangler Mortuaries located at 399 S. San Antonio
Rd, Los Altos on April 19th 4:30pm – 8pm. Her memorial
service will be held on April 22nd at the Kingdom Hall of

Resident of Monte Sereno, CA
Shirley Triplett passed away peacefully at home, sur-
rounded by her loving family. She was married for 64
years to her high school sweetheart, Raymond F. Triplett,
founder of Triplett Financial in San Jose. Shirley was born
in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where she and Ray met and
married. They later lived in Omaha, Nebraska, and in 1951

Shirley was a smart, funny, gracious, and elegant woman.
She was the life-long caring confidante of her husband,
and supported him in business, sailing, and his many hob-

the early years, Shirley and Ray hunted and fished togeth-

Associated Press
Isaiah Thomas took the

In its trial period — and
still at times — it’s had ex-
tended scoring struggles. A
team so used to having two of
the greatest scorers in NBA
history suddenly is without
either. But in Green, West,
Iguodala and Thompson,
they combine four of the
league’s smartest, sturdiest,
focused defenders. In that
fourth quarter moment on
Sunday afternoon, that’s just
what the Warriors needed.
The quarter started with
a Green 3 that put them
up three. Then Thompson
— who had a rough, disen-
gaged Game 1 on both ends
the first three quarters
— draped McCollum as
he came off a screen and,
combined with a pressuring
West, forced a turnover, the
first of six fourth quarter
Blazers giveaways.
“David was huge. He was
huge on those ball screens,”
Green said of West. “Da-
mian couldn’t get downhill
anymore. CJ couldn’t get
downhill anymore. Then we
were able to get a grip (on
the game).”
Portland’s offense, so po-
tent earlier, was throttled
by the cranked-up pressure.
Allen Crabbe followed the
McCollum turnover with a
missed 3. Then Al-Farouq

quarter as the Warrior of-

And that’s where Ian
Clark worked into it. Easily
the worst defender of the
group, Clark’s a microwave

killed the Blazers all season
— now 23-of-30 shooting
overall in five games — so
instead of going with the de-
fensive-minded Patrick Mc-
Caw, Kerr dialed up Clark,
and he delivered. In the first
half, Clark had a 3, steal
and lefty floater sequence.
In that separation point in
the fourth, he followed a la-
yup with a corner 3 to bump
the Warriors up seven at
the 8:59 mark, five of his 12
points in 11 minutes.
The defensive play that
set up Clark’s 3 was perfect.
Thompson started it off by
hounding McCollum off the
ball, not allowing the Blazers
to get it to him for 14 seconds.
It blew up Portland’s design
and forced a desperate hand-

As McCollum turned
the corner, he was met by
a doubling West, who cut

turned a McCollum jumper
into an emergency pass to
the limited Aminu, who was

pushed the rebound up-

corner, who canned the 3 as
the Oracle crowd roared.
The Blazers called timeout
to stem momentum. But it
didn’t.
Out of the break, Green
swatted away a McCollum
layup — the third of his
five blocks — which turned
into a Thompson jumper.
The next possession, Lil-
lard drove into a crowd and
Green ripped away his third
steal, leading to two Clark
free throws. The Warriors
led by 11. Then on the next
possession, to cap the de-
fensive dominance, Iguo-
dala, West and Thompson
jumped Portland’s pick-
and-roll attempts, forcing a
late-clock Lillard layup at-
tempt that was blocked by
Green, ending in an always
demoralizing shot clock vio-
lation turnover.
In all, that group served
up a 15-5 run in the first six
minutes of the fourth quarter,
delivering Durant and Curry
a double-digit cushion upon
return. The two stars closed
strong. Curry finished with
29 points and Durant nailed
a pair of jumpers to close out
an efficient 32-point night on
12-of-20 shooting.
But this game’s deciding
stretch was without them.

Sharks notes
Haley out, but San Jose quickly gets physical
DeBoer’s team responds
to Oilers’ hard-hitting
ways in first two games
By Curtis Pashelka
and Paul Gackle
Staff writers
SAN JOSE — Sharks
coach Pete DeBoer opted
not to dress forward Mi-
cheal Haley for Game 3 of
his team’s opening-round
playoff series against the
Edmonton Oilers. Turns
out the Sharks already had
a plan in place to ramp up
the physicality.
The Sharks were cred-
ited with a somewhat unbe-
lievable 32 hits in the first
period of Sunday’s game at
SAP Center. That’s com-
pared to just 21 for all of
Game 2 in Edmonton.
Hit statistics are always
subjective, but there was
little question the Sharks
wanted to lay the body on
the Oilers more Sunday
than they did Friday.
Sharks winger Timo
Meier was credited with six
hits in the first 20 minutes.
“We have physicality.
You can’t tell me Timo Mei-
er’s not physical,” DeBoer
said Sunday morning. “It’s
how you define physicality.
If you’re defining physical-
ity by dropping the gloves
and fighting someone — no
we don’t have that. But we
have plenty of physicality

the 10:45 mark of the third
period and was just the fifth
the Oilers have scored in the
series. With the Sharks shut
out in consecutive games,
though, it’s been enough to
give the Oilers a two-games-
to-one series lead. Game 4 is
on Tuesday.
“There’s been parts of
our game that’s been re-
ally good,” Sharks captain
Joe Pavelski said. “It was a
good game by us. They find
the one, they played a good
game as well. You’ve just
got to find a way for those
one-goal games.”
After the goal, Schlemko
was sprawled out on the ice,
face down, knowing it could
be a costly error in such a
tight-checking game.
“Just going back to get
the puck and tried to bypass
a couple of guys,” Schlemko
said. “I don’t know if it hit
his skate or leg. It’s a tough
bounce and you know, it’s a
game of mistakes and that
one ends up in the net.”
Two days after manag-
ing just 16 shots in a 2-0
loss, the Sharks were shut
out again by Oilers goalie
Cam Talbot, who made 23
saves. Martin Jones had 21
saves in his second straight
solid performance, but the

“Tough bounce and it
ended up in the net,” said
Schlemko.
“I saw he was looking
for a long pass,” Kassian
said of Schlemko’s choice.
“And I just tried to get in
the way.”
Oh, he is definitely in the
way. If this keeps happen-
ing, he will block any path
the Sharks have toward
repeating their inspiring
run to the Stanley Cup final the fact still remains that

would consider physical-
ity.”
The Sharks needed a
response to counter the
Oilers’ hard-hitting ways in
the first two games, which
included 41 hits in Game 2.
On Friday, Oilers for-
ward Zack Kassian rocked
Brendan Dillon in the first
period, catching a piece of
history, with the last time
coming in 2000.
“It was a one-goal game,
a one-shot game,” Sharks
coach Pete DeBoer said,
“and this time of year, you’ve
got to find a way to get on
the right side of that.”
With Joe Thornton back
in the lineup, the Sharks
were relentless in the first
period, ramping up the
physicality and and out-
shooting the Oilers 13-6.
The Oilers, though, re-

12-4 and slowly gained some
momentum. They limited the
Sharks to just one shot in the
final 11 minutes of the second
and killed a boarding penalty
to Drake Caggiula with little
difficulty.
“We figured we needed
to be better in the second,”
Pavelski said, “and they
ramped their game up a lit-
tle bit and we didn’t match
it for a stretch.”
Two weeks after suffer-
ing a left knee injury, Thorn-
ton made a dramatic return
for the Sharks’ first home
playoff game since June
12 of last year when Sid-
ney Crosby and Pittsburgh
Penguins were awarded the
Stanley Cup.
Thornton’s return came
exactly two weeks after he
was hurt April 2 against
Vancouver in a collision
with center Michael Cha-
put. Thornton missed the
last three games of the reg-
ular season and the first two
failed to get a puck past
Edmonton goalie Cam
Talbot, who has been good
but has not needed to be
spectacular.
“It was a one-goal game,
Sharks’ coach Pete DeBoer
after Sunday’s loss. “This
time of year, that’s what
you get. And you’ve got to
get on the right side of that
... Last year on our playoff
run, we found our way to be
the team that was getting
those goals at the end.”
“That’s playoff hockey,”
said Schlemko. “One shot,
one bounce, one break.
That’s the way it goes.”
All of that is true. Yet
we are seeing a Sharks’
offensive drought of his-
toric playoff proportions.
They’ve scored three goals
in the first three games
against Edmonton. That’s
the second-worst start in
series since 2000 when
they scored only two goals
of a second-round series
against the Dallas Stars.
Every other Shark
has done better. Until this
team. The Sharks wound
the defenseman’s head with
an open ice shot, and ran
over center Logan Couture
— who is playing with wires
and plastic in his mouth
to hold his teeth together
— along the boards in the
second.
Haley averaged over two
hits per game in 58 games
this season.

Thornton took part in the
Sharks’ pregame warmup,
something he had not done
before games 1 and 2 in Ed-
monton and began the game
on a line with Pavelski and
Melker Karlsson.

point in this series. He went
spotless Sunday.
Where is Brent Burns?
The league’s best defense-
man during the regular
season is finding it hard
to get his booming shots
from the point through to
the net because the Oilers
are crowding him and after
getting eight shots on goal
in Game 1 has recorded just
two and three in the last
two games, respectively.
DeBoer noted that the
Sharks have done a fairly
good job of containing Oil-
ers’ star Connor McDavid
and that the Oilers are do-
“If they’re going to con-
centrate on shutting down
him, somebody else has to
get the job done ... just like
them,” DeBoer said.
Where is Mikkel Boed-
ker? Not even dressed,
actually. It was also a bad
night for the Sharks’ two
ings from last offseason.
Boedker, who was sup-
posed to bring dynamic
scratched. Schlemko, who
was supposed to provide
steady defense and puck
movement, made a shaky
ski said winning a few more
battles for pucks along the
walls in the offensive zone,
both at even strength and
on the power play, would go
a long way.
“For whatever reason, it
was lacking in a few areas
and just lost too many bat-
tles,” Pavelski said of Fri-
day’s game. “On a nightly
basis, it’s one or two extra
battles that can turn a game.
Whether its on a power play
or 5-on-5, we can be little
better there.”
n Couture was back to
wearing only a visor for
Game 3 for the first time
since he was struck in the
mouth by a deflected puck
on March 25 in a game in
Nashville.
For the first two games
of the series, Couture wore
a full facial cage and said
he was still getting used to
wearing the extra protec-
tion for the first time since
he was in junior hockey.
With Joe Thornton back
in the Sharks’ lineup, Cou-
ture centered the second
line with Patrick Marleau
and Joel Ward. Couture
was centering the top line
with Pavelski and Melker
Karlsson for the first two
games of the series.
n Also with Thorn-
ton back, Mikkel Boed-
ker was scratched from
Sunday’s game. Boedker
had averaged 15:12 of ice
time through the first two
games in Edmonton and
had a combined two shots
on goal.

the Sharks’ ineffective power
play also made the trip back
to the South Bay.
After going 1 for 12 with
the man advantage in the
first two games, the Sharks
were held without a shot in
3:12 of power play time.
Thornton returned to
play on the top power play
unit, but the Sharks’ prob-
lems persisted as they were
unable to set up in the Oil-
ers’ zone for any significant
amount of time.
The Sharks’ first power
play in the period was cut
short as Ward, 72 seconds
after Benoit Pouliot was
called for roughing at the
16:43 mark, was given a
tripping penalty.
“We need to be better,”
Couture said of the power
play units. “It’s simple to
say, it’s easy to say, but
we’ve got to be better.”.
Twitter at twitter.com/
... well, we have covered
that.
Where is the power
play? Still struggling, just
as it did during the regu-
lar season, going 0-for-2
on Sunday with all sorts
of frustrating elements
— although DeBoer didn’t
blame that for the loss.
“At the end of the day,
we had enough looks 5-on-
5,” DeBoer said. “I don’t
think it was a special teams
kind of game.”
Where was Joe Thorn-
ton? Back in the lineup,
thank goodness. His line
with Joe Pavelski and
Melker Karlsson was
probably the most effec-
tive at producing chances
throughout the night but
could not convert any of
them. Thornton thinks
that winning faceoffs and
keeping the puck in the
offensive zone will help
solve the offensive prob-
lem because it will create
more chances.
“We’ve still got a level to
get to,” Thornton said.

Monday Q&A: Cindy Zhang of Pinterest

VISION QUEST
Software engineer Cindy Zhang was a fan of Pinterest before joining its ranks
in 2015. Now she is helping others find inspiration through visual searches.

DAN HONDA/STAFF PHOTOS

“I feel like Pinterest is not a search engine where you type in something and you get an answer. It’s more, ‘I’m curious and I don’t know what I’m
going to get as results.’ I think Pinterest Lens really helps with that,” says Cindy Zhang, a 23-year-old software engineer with Pinterest.

Zhang works on the tech
firm’s search product team,
which consists of 30 percent
female engineers. She built
the Android version of a new
feature the company is testing
called Lens, allowing users to
discover more ideas by snap-
ping a photo of an object in real
life.
“I think as an engineer
it’s really important to have
inspiration to keep you going
and work on a product that you
really love,” she said.
Zhang, who is also a singer
in Mino the band, sat down
with this newspaper to chat

Startups flock to Japan port city rewards in investing
Fukuoka leveraging
status as strategic zone
with business incentives
By Yoshiaki Nohara
Bloomberg News
TOKYO — From the fifth-
floor office of his internet
startup, Kazz Watabe can see
the sea bass jump in the bay
as he works on his fishing web-
site to the sound of jazz and the
waves washing on the beach
below.
It’s a scene that could be
from any of the seaside startup
hubs developing around the
world — Seattle, Tel Aviv, Bar-
celona, Sydney — but Watabe’s
Umeebe is in aging Japan, far
from Tokyo, in the western port
of Fukuoka.
“It’s not a bad idea to build
your business after thinking
first about what kind of envi-
ronment you want to be in,”
said Watabe, 30, who moved to
the city in late 2013 from Tokyo
to develop smartphone apps
and software that helps anglers
find fish and share pictures of
their catch.
Fukuoka is the fastest-grow-
ing major city in Japan outside
of the capital, which has been
steadily draining talent and
workers from the rest of the
country for decades. This an-
cient port, hemmed in by moun-
tains and as close to Shanghai
as it is to Tokyo, is bucking that
trend, drawing entrepreneurs
like Watabe from Japan and
abroad.
Soichiro Takashima, elected
the youngest mayor in the city’s
history in 2010, is leveraging its
status as a national strategic
special zone, cutting red tape
and introducing incentives like

of 2016.
A $1,000 investment in
health care, compounding
at 19 percent per year,
would have grown to
$2,386 in five years. The
same $1,000 invested in
precious metals would
have dropped to $470 in
the same five-year period
— a loss of almost half
the money. The case of
precious metals illustrates
another truism: a loss of
50 percent requires a 100
percent gain just to get
back to where you started.
Two other winners
were the financial and
technology sectors, each
generating 16 percent
average annual five-year
returns. Not far behind,
however, were boring
large-cap stocks spread
over all industries, at 13.4
percent. Balanced funds
with a mix of stocks and
bonds (typically one-third
bonds/two-thirds stocks)
came in at 7.6 percent,
which is a very consistent
long-term average.
It can be tempting to
get excited about sector
funds — a term that de-
scribes funds focused on a
single industry category,
with no pretense of diver-
sification. Any reduction
in diversification increases
risk.
Given enough time, the
“invisible hand” of eco-
nomic forces rewards in-
vestors who can stomach
more risk. The increased
return over more con-
servative investments is
called the “risk premium.”
If that condition didn’t ex-
ist, nobody would have an
incentive to take risks.
But how much risk do
we have to stomach to
earn outsized rewards?
The same technology sec-
tor enjoying the aforemen-
tioned recent run-up lost
roughly 80 percent of its
value from 1999 to 2002.
The financial sector lost
75 percent in 2007 and
2008. So if you are putting
all of your eggs in one
basket, you have to watch
that basket very carefully.
Most investors — both
professionals and ama-
teurs — become catatonic
when the basket gets
upset. They are trapped
time, the “invis-
ible hand” of
economic forces
rewards investors
who can stomach
more risk. … If
that condition
didn’t exist,
nobody would
have an incentive
to take risks.
in the “status quo bias”
driven by the expectation
that what happened in
the past will extend into
the future. Plus, selling
out and taking a loss is
a definitive act. We are
programmed to be more
disappointed and upset by
a loss triggered by some-
thing we actually do as
opposed to an equivalent
loss (on paper) as a result
of doing nothing.
The worst case, of
course, is the investor
who finally throws in the
towel somewhere toward
the bottom and, as the
saying goes, “sells down to
the sleeping point.” This
means that by bailing out
entirely, they finally are
able to get some sleep.
For those who find this
subject matter anxiety-
provoking, it may be
instructive to consider
the 10-year numbers — a
period that included the
worst market crash in
more than 70 years. In
this longer time frame,
almost all of the categories
generated about the same
average annual return per
year — about 7 percent.
The balanced fund
(about 50-50 stocks and
bonds) actually outper-
formed the large-cap
stock fund and all of the
industry-specific sector
funds (except health care).
The lesson here is that
if you’re satisfied with a
reasonably consistent 7.5
percent average rate of
return in normal fluctuat-
ing markets, you only have
to live with the prospect
of a 15 percent one-time
loss over a 20-year period,
statistically.
That conservative ap-
proach may be what you
should adopt as a way to
capture and retain what
you’ve accomplished in
the years since the market
bottomed out back in
2009.

ness visa.
“We want to give it a try
before anyone else,” said
Takashima, now 42. “Oth-
ers will come and see how
we do it.
“That’s the fastest way
to change Japan.”
The parallel with Se-
attle isn’t just geographic.
Takashima visited the U.S.
West-Coast city in 2011 and
said he was inspired to cre-
ate an Asian equivalent in
Japan.
Key to Fukuoka’s ambi-
tion to become an Asian
gateway is its location. At
the airport, in the heart of
the city, planes queue up to
fly to destinations like Hong
Kong, Singapore and Tai-
wan. More than 800 million
people live within a three-
hour flight of Fukuoka.
‘Hard to beat’
Scrolling signs in Japa-
nese, English, Korean and
Chinese guide visitors in
the subway, which takes
less than 10 minutes to
reach the main railway sta-
tion downtown from the
airport.
“It’s pretty hard to beat
this location,” said Nori-
taka Ochiai, chief executive
officer of the Fukuoka unit
of LINE, the South Korean-
owned company that runs
Japan’s top smartphone
messaging app, in his office
next to the station.
LINE Fukuoka has
added more than 600 jobs
since opening in Novem-
ber 2013. Women make
up half its workers and 30
percent of management
roles. About half its engi-
neers are foreigners. “We
welcome anyone who has
skills, fits our culture and
is interested in us,” said
Ochiai, 42.
Koji Lin, a 35-year-old
Taiwanese engineer at
LINE, chose Fukuoka over
Tokyo in search of a better
quality of life and because
it’s a short flight to his
home country.
The city’s 7.2 trillion yen
($65 billion) economy is
about 7 percent of the size
of Tokyo’s and average of-
fice rents are 50 percent
cheaper. While the capital
sits in the middle of a con-
urbation of more than 35
million people, Fukuoka’s
residents are a short drive
from the beach or the
mountains.
“I wanted to change the
environment and challenge
myself,” said Lin, a father
of two. “Fukuoka was the
right size.”
Encouraging risk has
made Fukuoka a make-or-
break city. It has the high-
est ratio of new business
biggest cities and the sec-
ond-highest rate of ven-
tures closing, according to
the Fukuoka Asian Urban
Research Center. Nine out
of 10 jobs are in services,
compared with 71 percent
nationwide.
Boston-based financial
services company State
Street opened an opera-
tional center with about 130
people from some 20 coun-
tries in Fukuoka after the
2011 tsunami and nuclear
disaster in eastern Japan.
“Keeping us only in To-
kyo came with a number of
risks,” said Richard Fog-
arty, head of State Street
Global Services in Japan.
He said the biggest factor
in choosing Fukuoka was
the large pool of college
graduates.
The inflows have helped
support Fukuoka’s real-es-
tate market while other cit-
ies are hollowing out. The
office vacancy rate in Fu-
kuoka has fallen to 4.3 per-
cent, from about 15 percent
in 2009, according to Miki
Shoji Co. Fukuoka REIT,
listed in 2005 as the first
region-specific real estate
investment trust, has more
than doubled its assets un-
der management to about
173 billion yen.
Built-in advantages
“Real estate is a very lo-
cal business and being here
gives us greater advantage
in the speed, quality and
quantity of information,”
said Takafumi Fujita, a
manager at Fukuoka Re-
alty Co., the asset manager
of Fukuoka REIT. “Popula-
tion growth energizes the
city.”
Ringed by mountains
and 200 kilometers across
the Korea Strait from
South Korea’s Busan port
— a three-hour trip on
the “Beetle” jet-propelled
hydrofoil — Fukuoka’s de-
velopment has been forged
as much by geography as
planning.
The bowl of hills created
a compact, commercial hub
at the mouth of the snaking
Naka River, with a broad
lagoon that hosts one of
Japan’s largest passenger
ports.
The city’s first master
plan in 1961 aimed to build
an industrial economy to
join the factory boom that
was sweeping the country.
But it lost out to Kitaky-
ushu, an hour’s drive to the
northeast, where steel and
automakers built mills and
factories on the wide estu-
ary of Dokai Bay.
Now the tables are
turned. Fukuoka added
about 75,000 people in the
five years ended 2015, the
most outside Tokyo, with
the number of foreign resi-
dents rising by 22 percent.
Kitakyushu lost more than
15,000 people, the most
among Japan’s municipali-
ties except for towns evacu-
ated due to the Fukushima
nuclear disaster.
Fukuoka, whose samu-
rai warriors held off Kublai
Khan’s invading Mongol
army in the 13th century,
was picked as a national
strategic special zone for
jobs and business creation.
Kitakyushu was selected
for elderly care.
“When young people
do something, they have
to start with niche, small
things,” said Kozo Yama-
moto, 68, minister of regu-
latory reforms and regional
revitalization. “Fukuoka
is outperforming in that
sense.”
Fukuoka faces a race
against time to make the
new economic model sus-
tainable. The pool of youth
from surrounding areas
is dwindling and the city’s
population is forecast to
peak around 2035 at about
1.6 million.
While Takashima suc-
cessfully lobbied the cen-
tral government to cut
corporate income tax for
Fukuoka startups, he’s
aware that Japan’s demo-
graphic clock means that
government revenue will
inevitably decline as the
workforce shrinks.
“Using money as an
incentive is outdated, not
cool and has no future,”
Takashima said. “Tax rev-
enue will fall. It’s more
important to encourage a
business friendly environ-
ment with deregulation.”
The backbone of Fu-
kuoka’s push to diversify
the new-technology sec-
tor is Kyushu University,
one of the most famous in
the country and one of 13
chosen to be a gateway for
more overseas students.
Last year, Kyushu had over
2,000 foreign students
with major research areas
in medical sciences, engi-
neering and information
technology.

versity’s startup club is

who is starting two hospi-
tal-related businesses with
money he made investing
in stocks.
“I used to think I could
only start a business in
Tokyo, but now I’m think-
ing maybe I can do it in Fu-
kuoka,” he said. “There’s
no return where there’s no
risk. Pick your fight and bet
big.”
Across the road from the
vast, striped labyrinth of the
Canal City shopping mall
is an old galleried building
containing The Company,
an incubator where almost
200 workers from some 80
firms share facilities. One
of them is venture capital-
ist Shota Morozumi, who
runs F Ventures.
Startup call
“Fukuoka was calling
for startups, but I saw a
contradiction in terms of
funding,” said the 29-year-
old, who used to work for a
VC firm in Tokyo. He said
startups need investment,
not loans, which discourage
risk-taking. “I’m from Fu-
kuoka and wanted to make
it work for Fukuoka.”
A kilometer away across
the Naka River, where of-
fice workers gather in the
evenings to slurp the city’s
famous ramen and spicy
fish eggs among the res-
taurants and karaoke bars
on Nakasu island, is the
Tsutaya bookshop. Inside,
entrepreneurs and venture
capitalists meet at the gov-
ernment-backed Startup
Cafe, which imparts free
advice about everything
from hiring to tax.
Among those to take ad-
vantage of the service were
Yasmine Djoudi, 29, and
Thomas Pouplin, 28, the
city’s first recipients of the
startup visa.
They visited Fukuoka
as graduate exchange
students in 2014 from
Bordeaux, France, and
launched online job-match-
ing company Ikkai Inc. in
the city in 2016.
“We really fell in love
with the city,” Djoudi said.
“It really made sense to
start the company here.”
