Route 123 paves the road for more food trucks in Berkeley

Developer NX Ventures is paving the road for more food truck options in Berkeley with its plan to create a venue for trucks to congregate on 2613 San Pablo Ave.

Set to be finished by fall 2018, the food truck venue will be called “Route 123” after the official name of the state road San Pablo Avenue. According to Xin Lin, a principal at NX Ventures who will co-manage the project, some potential food options available at the venue include barbecue, tacos, Filipino fusion and pizza.

The food truck marketplace will take the place of KC’s Bar-B-Que. According to Kristen Davis, the owner of KC’s Bar-B-Que, the shop closed down because of a fire on Feb. 17, 2017, which burned and severely damaged much of the restaurant.

“We’re going to repurpose KC’s Bar-B-Que building as an events center so you can have birthday parties for kids and space (to eat) for (the) rainy season and food trucks along the perimeter of the lot behind it,” said Nathan George, the other principal in NX Ventures who will co-manage the project.

Lin and George, who are both UC Berkeley alumni, first worked together on a project not involved with real estate, creating Gio’s Pizza and Bocce, according to George. According to Lin, many of the skills he learned as a student have come in handy in his career.

“One thing Cal taught me how to do is how to learn on my own and how to survive in a tough, competitive environment,” said Lin, who graduated in 1992 with a degree in computer science. “I did tech for about 10 years. … I actually did construction. I was a demo contractor for six years and I moved into general investing and business ventures.”

Davis said KC’s Bar-B-Que will move to 1235 San Pablo Ave., which is currently a restaurant called Meal Ticket, and will be ready for business in mid-April. Davis added that she is very excited for the food truck business to open.

“I am extremely excited for that type of thing to be moving into the area, just because we don’t have anything like that around here, and we hope to actually be one of the food vendors there also,” Davis said.

Brad Lebowitz, who works at Far Leaves Tea on San Pablo Avenue, is also looking forward to the food truck marketplace and thinks the increase in foot traffic will help business.

“We have been in this location for about seven years and I’ve been here that whole time and I’ve watched a lot of change along that block,” Lebowitz said. “This area is gentrifying, of course, and service-oriented businesses are moving out like … car repair places, and more community-oriented places are moving in.”

For student-athletes, the body works like an instrument for their given sport. When it comes to deciding what major to pursue, however, it’s more of a guessing game. Raynee Helm Wheelock, a sprinter for University of Utah women’s track and field team, knew what she wanted to study — kind of.

When Helm Wheelock first came to Utah, she wanted to go to physician assistant (PA) school. When she started taking classes, however, she realized what she truly wanted to do was not what she originally planned.

“As I’ve gotten more into the major, I’ve found out that what I actually want to do is exercise sports science and teaching exercise and personal training, so I switched my emphasis to the fitness and wellness specialist,” Helm Wheelock said.

It is not uncommon for track athletes to pursue a degree in kinesiology. Kyle Kepler, head coach of the women’s track and field team, knows when choosing a major, students like to go into something that has some sort of significance in their life. Consequently, many student-athletes choose to study kinesiology — the study of the mechanics of body movements.

“I think these gals want to stay as close to athletics as they can,” Kepler said. “It’s one of the things that’s allowed them to be successful in their lives. It’s a major where there are a lot of different ways to go with it in life, and they don’t have to make the decision they are going to be a doctor from freshman or sophomore year. They can kind of go along [with it]. There [are] a lot of forks in the road they can choose to take when they get later in their careers.”

According to Kepler, kinesiology is a good major to prepare students for a variety of careers, like physical or occupational therapy. It can help students who are planning on going to medical school or another health-driven field. It can also help those who are pursuing careers more related to physical or recreational activities.

“I think that major allows them to keep their options open as long as possible while they are still trying to compete at a high level,” Kepler said.

Helm Wheelock likes being able to use her education in everyday life as opposed to having to wait until after graduation.

“I’m able to see the things I’m learning and see [them] applied. My coaches [are] applying it to me through my sport,” she said. “I also think since I changed my emphasis my confidence has started to grow more. I’ve been more confident on the track.”

Kepler says having athletes who understand what is going on with their bodies makes it easier for the two parties to communicate about what is happening during competition. To him, physical and mental performance increases when they have an understanding of the training process.

Though Helm Wheelock can’t see many downsides to being a student-athlete studying kinesiology, she sometimes finds it difficult when others expect her to know everything. Helm Wheelock teaches small fitness classes to earn class credit and experience.

“Some of my participants, when they find out I’m a student-athlete, they kind of expect me to know everything, but I’m still learning — I’m still a student,” she said.

Helm Wheelock believes there is a strong connection between studying fitness and being a student-athlete in any sport. She plans to specialize in the areas of fitness and wellness since it is something she has been passionate about for many years. Kinesiology has allowed her to pursue her love for sport inside the classroom and out on the track.

Kepler has enjoyed having Helm Wheelock on the team due to her strong work ethic and seriousness, as well as having someone who is easy to communicate with.

The Elections Board has permitted two more candidates who missed the registration deadline to run in the Spring 2018 student government elections, according to Chair of the Elections Board Betty Zhang (20C).

College Council (CC) Vice President of Administration Radhika Kadakia (20C) failed to declare her candidacy for CC president by March 18 at 11:59 p.m., but the Elections Board allowed her to run because it mistakenly thought that the race would have otherwise been uncontested. Zhang also told the Wheel that the Board did not want to prohibit Kadakia’s candidacy after it had already allowed Student Government Association (SGA) presidential candidate Mario Karras (17Ox, 19B) to run despite his late declaration, which he attributed to poor Wi-Fi connectivity when traveling in Egypt.

CC Freshman Legislator Karen Lee (21C) failed to declare her candidacy for CC sophomore representative by the deadline because members of the Elections Board did not provide her with the registration form on time. Zhang and Vice-Chair of the Elections Board Andy Xu (20C) allowed Lee to run without consulting the Board.

CC Leaders Push for Kadakia’s Candidacy

CC Vice President Naman Jain (18C) spoke with Zhang to persuade the Elections Board to allow Kadakia to declare her candidacy late, claiming there was only one other CC presidential candidate at the time, Tiffany Haas (19C).

Jain told Zhang that CC leaders wanted the race to be contested and that he was advocating on behalf of CC President Cassidy Schwartz (18C), CC Adviser Sarah Beth Potter and CC executive board members, according to both Zhang and Jain. However, Jain and other CC leaders were unaware that Paolo Mutia (19C), a former Oxford SGA attorney general, had also registered his candidacy for CC president before the deadline.

When Zhang presented Kadakia’s case to the Elections Board, she told Board members that Haas was the only candidate in the CC presidential race, according to Elections Board member Jesse Wang (18B).

The Elections Board voted 5-0 to approve Kadakia’s candidacy after she “forgot to submit” by the registration deadline, according to Zhang. She officially declared Monday night, one day after the deadline, Zhang said.

Wang said that his decision to allow Kadakia to run was based on the belief that the election would have been uncontested if they did not allow her to run.

“The reason I voted for [Kadakia] to be able to run is if she didn’t then [Haas] would win by default,” Wang said.

Zhang said that the Board’s decision to allow Kadakia to run was also based on its previous ruling to permit Student Government Association (SGA) presidential candidate Mario Karras (17Ox, 19B) to run after he failed to submit a declaration on time due to “spotty Wi-Fi,” the Wheel reported on March 20. Zhang said it would have been unfair to prohibit other candidates who also declared late to run in the elections.

During the March 22 Wheel debates, Kadakia said that she believed that signing a form at a candidate information session meant that she had formally declared. All students who plan to run in the election are required to attend an information session before they can declare their candidacies.

“Regarding the deadline, it was not an issue of irresponsibility. It was an honest misunderstanding,” Kadakia said. “I had gone to the info session and I had declared that I was running for [CC] president and I had written down my name and I believed that when I was writing that down on the iPad, that was my declaration.”

Zhang said that the Board members did not “have as many reasonings [for Kadakia’s case] as we had for Mario’s case,” but it allowed Kadakia to run due to the precedent that the Board had set with the decision in Karras’ case.

“Giving Mario an exception was already against the rules,” Zhang said. “There [are] no exceptions if you don’t turn in the form, and if we already grant one exception to one person, then it’s not really right for us to not grant exceptions for anybody else.”

When asked if the Elections Board would have allowed Kadakia to run if it had not previously allowed Karras to run in this election, Zhang said, “I would say no.”

Wang told the Wheel on March 23 that he expects the Elections Board to reconvene about Kadakia’s case in light of the information about Mutia’s candidacy.

“Of course, I think action should certainly be taken if this is what is happening,” Wang said. “I can only surmise that we will act upon this.”

Zhang said on March 23 that she might bring Kadakia’s case before the Elections Board again because the Board members now understand that the CC presidential election would have been competitive without Kadakia’s candidacy.

The Elections Code does not specify what would lead the Board to re-vote, but the Board may “exercise all powers incident to and necessary for the execution of the [Board’s] responsibilities,” according to Part 2, Article 1 of the Elections Code.

Zhang said that she anticipates challenges for the Elections Board’s decision regarding Kadakia’s candidacy and Karras’ candidacy, but the Board has not received any challenges as of March 23.

Eligible voters for each contest can file a challenge with the Elections Board by submitting a written complaint by April 2 at 8 p.m., according to the Elections Code.

If someone files a challenge regarding the election, the Elections Board will vote on if it will hear the challenge, according to the Elections Code. If the Board decides to hear the challenge, the Board will hear arguments from the challenger and involved parties, the Code reads.

If the Board votes to deny the hearing, the Board will vote again within a week if it will hear the case. If the Board votes again to deny the hearing, it will refer the challenge to the Constitutional Council and provide an explanation for why it denied to hear the case, according to the Code.

If someone submits a challenge, Zhang said she does not expect the Elections Board to send the case to the Constitutional Council.

After the April 1 deadline, any eligible voter may submit an appeal to the Constitutional Council. CC positions do not have deadlines to hear appeal cases, according to the Code.

Haas declined to comment in a March 21 email to the Wheel.

“The Elections Board has not notified me of this situation and I don’t have any first-hand information surrounding the circumstances,” Haas wrote.

Mutia also declined to comment.

Elections Board Fails to Send Registration Form to Lee

Zhang and Xu allowed Lee to run for CC sophomore legislator on March 21 without convening an Elections Board vote. Lee declared late because Xu had not sent Lee the candidacy registration form after she expressed interest in running.

Lee said she planned to attend one of three mandatory information sessions for candidates on March 7, but the session was canceled due to a University closure. In lieu of attending the information session, Zhang and Xu provided her information over email and Lee emailed them her Emory ID number and NetID, according to Zhang.

Zhang wrote to the Wheel that she and Xu “made a mistake of not sending the registration form” to Lee after she submitted her information.

Lee told the Wheel that she discovered that she was not on the list of candidates and informed Zhang and Xu on March 21, three days after the registration deadline, that she never received the registration form. Zhang added Lee to the candidate list on the same day. Zhang told the Wheel that she did not present the case to the Board because “that’s just a mistake made by me and Andy.”

Wang said that he “trusts [Zhang’s] decision” and he thought it was acceptable for Zhang to not present issues to the entire Elections Board if it cannot be presented to the Board within a “feasible time frame.”

When the Wheel asked Wang if he thought it was acceptable for Zhang to go against the Elections Code with cases that she could not bring before the entire Board, Wang said, “No, I don’t think that it’s O.K. to violate the Elections Code … unless the caveats are stipulated with[in] the Code.”

SPOKANE, Wash. — Oregon’s first day at Spokane Arena wrapped up shortly after shortly after 4 p.m. on Friday afternoon.

The two-seeded Ducks will return to the arena Saturday for their Sweet 16 matchup with 11th-seeded Central Michigan (3 p.m. PT on ESPN) for a chance to go to the Elite Eight for the second time in as many years.

Here are some notes from Oregon’s media availability:

Delayed trip

Oregon took its time getting to Spokane.

The Ducks, who were originally scheduled to fly into Spokane on Thursday, had to delay their trip to Friday morning because of an issue with their plane.

“[The flight crew] were like, ‘Yeah, so we’re missing this part of the plane we kinda need,’” Oti Gildon said.

Players went home and waited for updates for a several hours before hearing that the flight would be pushed to early Friday morning. They finally boarded around 7 a.m. and made it to Spokane without issue.

“We’re excited to be here. The hotel is nice. The beds were amazing,” Sabrina Ionescu said. “It’s just going to be a fun experience for us regardless of the plane issues.”

Gildon returns home

Oregon’s plane issue also delayed Gildon’s homecoming.

Gildon moved to Spokane when she was in middle school but she made a name for herself in the years that followed. She won two Washington state titles in high school with Gonzaga Prep and became a five-star prospect before joining the Ducks in 2016. Gildon said that this trip is the first time in three years that she’s returned.

“It’s awesome,” she said. “A lot of people haven’t seen me play since high school, especially live, so it’s good to come home and play, especially with the team’s success that we’re having.”

She’s already gotten “quite a few” texts from friends and family, and said that a group of her high school friends left a signed poster and t-shirt for her in the hotel. The Ducks were also supposed to have dinner at Gildon’s home on Thursday but had to postpone due to their travel issues.

“My mom made barbeque ribs, baked beans, corn on the cob and potato salad,” Gildon said. “My family was ready to see me and see everyone, my little brother, he’s 3, he loves the team and was excited to see everyone.”

But as the saying goes, better late than never: the Ducks plan on going to the Gildon’s for dinner on Friday night.

“Ain’t nothing like some leftovers,” Gildon said.

Hebard vs. Moore

Slowing down Central Michigan forward Tinara Moore will be an emphasis for Oregon on Saturday and Ruthy Hebard will more than likely be tasked with the challenge.

Moore, who took home MAC Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year awards this season, averages team-highs in points (18.9), rebounds (9.7), and blocks (2.29) per game. She even has some touch from outside and has gone 14-for-43 from three this season.

“She’s definitely a great post player,” Hebard said. “She was one of the best ones in her conference, I heard. I watched a little film. She has a really good shot outside. I’m definitely going to have to stay out the whole time, be physical, hope my size will do me well on Saturday.”

Ducks loose, having fun

The Ducks have said that one of the keys to their success is that they have fun and stay loose. That’s been evident this week.

While Ionescu was speaking with media before Oregon’s practice on Wednesday in Eugene, several Ducks playfully shouted at her while she was doing interviews.

“You got jokes today!” she yelled back with a laugh.

The Ducks were at it again on Friday. They appeared loose during the open locker rooms, laughing and joking among themselves, while Mallory McGwire carried a microphone and interviewed her teammates for an Oregon team video crew. Even during the formal press conference, Ionescu, Hebard, and Maite Cazorla couldn’t hold back their laughter at times.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Bruins’ senior class accomplished something the program has not been able to do since 1999.

No. 3-seeded UCLA women’s basketball (27-7) upset No. 2-seeded Texas (28-7) 84-75 on Saturday night. Seniors guard Jordin Canada, forward Monique Billings and guard Kelli Hayes finally led the Bruins to the Elite 8 after failing to do so the past two years.

“The joy I got to see in these players’ faces was priceless,” said coach Cori Close. “I’m not sure I’ve seen (Canada) and (Billings) smile that big.”

The Bruins outrebounded the Longhorns 38-34, something Close said she was most worried about coming into the game. She emphasized that UCLA needed rebounding from guards in order to stay in the game.

“I didn’t expect to play (zone) as much as we did and the reason was I was worried about our guard rebounding,” Close said. “(But) they did a heck of a job.”

The Bruins had 15 of their 38 rebounds come on guards crashing the weak side, which Close said ultimately allowed the team to play more zone defense.

UCLA’s defensive pressure both in the half-court and full-court forced the Texas into throwing up well contested shots. In the first quarter, the Longhorns shot just 5-of-16 from the field, while the Bruins went 9-of-16.

UCLA’s suffocating zone forced 21 turnovers in the game and converted them into 31 points.

“We knew we were going to rely on our defense and that defense was going to carry over to offense,” Billings said. “We wanted to set the tempo early (and) I thought our guards did that – pressuring the ball.”

Billings led the way in the first quarter with 8 points, going 4-of-6 from the field. She also had a defensive spurt, getting deflections and forcing travels in the paint, and finished the night with 17 points and eight rebounds.

Texas strung together a 9-0 run out of halftime, as four different Longhorns scored to give the team its first lead of the night. Senior guard Jordin Canada went 0-of-7 until a 3-pointer in the third quarter ended her dry spell.

“My shots weren’t falling so I tried to get my teammates involved in the first half and in the second half let everything come to me,” Canada said. “When they came out on their run, I didn’t have any doubt, (because) we’ve been here before.”

UCLA fell to Texas in the 2016 regional semifinals. The game left a bitter taste for the current senior trio after letting a fourth-quarter lead slip away – something they would not forget going into tonight’s matchup.

“This was our game, and we knew it” Hayes said. “It was payback for two years ago. … We stuck together (this time) …  and I think the maturity that our team has developed this year is really what helped us.”

The Longhorns led by as many as 3 points in the third period, but Canada knocked down four straight shots to ignite a 17-4 run that gave UCLA a 59-49 lead at the end of the quarter.

“Last time (Canada) tried to put everyone on her back, and … when everyone panics is when she said ‘I’ve got to do this by myself,’” Close said. “I thought she showed so much maturity (tonight).”

In the final quarter, both teams exchanged runs down the stretch. Guard Ariel Atkins and Alecia Sutton drained back-to-back 3s to cut the deficit to 4 points with 1:57 left in the contest.

But Canada was unstoppable in the second half. The senior had only scored 2 points on a pair of free throws in the first half, but exploded in the second half to finish the night with 22 points and eight assists.

The Bruins played zone most of the game, but switched to man defense in the final minutes of the final period. The switch-up on defense forced Texas to miss just its second field goal of the quarter and propelled a 6-0 UCLA run to seal the deal.

“(Junior transfer guard Japreece Dean’s) defense was key for us and we were able to mix our defenses because of how well she was playing,” Close said.

Close also said she thought junior guard Kennedy Burke, who had 15 points and five rebounds, was one of the biggest differences in the game.

“(Canada and Billings) have been consistent all year long at being dependable and showing up and giving their best when they’re best is needed, but I knew it was going to come down to other people,” Close said. “This one right here – I thought (Burke) was the difference in the game, her aggression, her confidence, her ability to communicate with her teammates and influence plays.”

Freshman forward Michaela Onyenwere also added 8 points and four rebounds, while redshirt junior forward Lajahna Drummer logged 8 points and seven rebounds.

“It’s been a journey and we’re not done yet,” Billings said. “We can’t get too high from this game. It’s exciting, but we have to focus on the next game and the next match-up: Mississippi State.”

The Bruins will face No. 1-seeded Mississippi State on Sunday in the regional finals to have an opportunity at their first ever Final Four.

It was the match that everyone wanted to see.

On Friday at Austin Country Club, former Longhorn Jordan Spieth faced off with his good friend and bullish match player Patrick Reed. The two have partnered together in the past for Team USA in the Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup.

But on this day, they were against each other — winner moving onto the weekend’s knockout round of the World Golf Championships-Dell Technologies Match Play.

The playing conditions were brutal, with severe winds gusting and switching on the players all day. That gave way to some so-so golf from both Spieth and Reed throughout the match. And in the end, it was Reed who prevailed, sending Spieth home early for the second consecutive year in this event.

“It was just one of those days that with how the conditions were, it wasn’t fun,” Reed said. “It was a grinder’s day out there.”

The hype for this match began almost as soon as the groups were announced Monday night.

After his match on Thursday, four-time major winner and world No. 7 Rory McIlroy was even asked if he had any interest in watching Spieth-Reed.

“I have a lot of interest in that. What time are they playing?” McIlroy said.

“In the afternoon — 1:30,” a reporter said.

“Hopefully I get done early, I can watch it.”

Joking or not, McIlroy wasn’t able to make it out for the match on Friday afternoon — but plenty of others did.

It was easily the largest gallery of the tournament thus far, and to no surprise it was pulling hard for its hometown hero in Spieth.

Shouts of “Hook ‘em” echoed among the spectators all day. Fans on a Lake Austin party boat began a “Texas! Fight!” chant as Spieth walked to the 14th tee box. At times, the crowd was five deep or more.

Former professional cyclist and Austinite Lance Armstrong even followed Spieth and Reed on the back nine.

“First golf tournament ever,” said Armstrong, a Longhorn fan.

Spieth appeared to be a little off on the practice range as he warmed up prior to his match. It carried over into his first few holes. He knocked his opening tee shot out of bounds. He hit both approach shots on the second and third holes into the hazard. After two holes, Spieth was already 2 down.

Spieth birdied the par-4 5th to move to 1 down and made a crucial 8-footer for par on the par-3th 7th. He bogeyed the par-4 8th to fall 2 down again. But then the 24-year-old three-time major winner turned it on.

Spieth’s wedge shots at the par-4 9th and par-4 10th were knocked stiff and conceded for birdies, which squared the match with Reed.

“I thought I rebounded nicely after it kind of looked like a round of 90 or 92 through the first few holes,” Spieth said.

But Spieth made another costly mistake at the par-3 11th and bogeyed, giving Reed a 1-up advantage. Reed didn’t surrender it for the rest of the day.

Spieth missed critical birdie putts at the par-5 12th and the par-4 14th that kept him from mounting a charge. It was a struggle all day, and beside holes 9 and 10, Spieth could just never get it going.

Spieth was 3 down heading to the par-5 16th. His birdie closed the gap to 2 down. But at the par-3 17th, Reed drilled a 40-foot putt from off the green to win the hole and the match, 3 and 1.

“Today I tried four or five different things and started to really feel good about it towards the end of the round,” Spieth said. “It was just a little bit late.”

Spieth hasn’t had a stellar 2018 season. He said after his match with Reed that he’s struggled with his putting and alignment. He’s finished in the top-10 twice this year, but he’s also missed two cuts. In less than two weeks, he’ll return to Augusta National seeking a second green jacket.

Until then, it’s about more fine-tuning as he searches for his form. Spieth will play at the Shell Houston Open next week before heading to the Masters.

“All in all, I didn’t come in expecting a whole lot this week,” Spieth said. “I’m just trying to continue to make progress. I have emphasis on four events a year. And anything in between, especially as we get really close to them, is leading up to it.”
