Bay Area ice cream shop to open in Fresno

By Yvette Mancilla @yvette_mancilla

What happens when you squish vanilla ice cream between two snickerdoodle cookies and finish it off with a gob of chocolate sauce topped with sprinkles?

You get a CREAM sandwich.

CREAM, short for “Cookies Rule Everything Around Me,” first opened in 2010 in Millbrae and

has gained a strong following in the Bay Area. The build-your-own gourmet ice cream sandwich will be opening its first store in the Central Valley in early June.

The ice cream-and-more business has been franchising since 2012 and has 10 locations in California and plans to open 20 more stores across the state and in Nevada.

Fresno’s store on the corner of Cedar and Barstow avenues, is the

CREAM Wallpaper adorns the store at 1760 E. Barstow Ave., where the ice cream store is set to open in early June.

first among several Valley stores CREAM franchisee David Barhum said he plans to open “The reason why Fresno was chosen to be first in the Valley is because it’s right in the middle and

by Fresno State, so it’ll get people to know more about CREAM,” said Barhum, who also plans on opening stores from Bakersfield to Stockton.

Firefighters around the world and in the local community continue to rally in support of recovering Fresno Fire Capt. Pete Dern.

Dern sustained burns to twothirds of his body after falling through the roof of a garage while battling a house fire on March 29.

He is currently being treated at Community Regional Medical Center. Physicians estimate he will require 14 to 15 surgeries within the next several months.

“I was excited to hear that he was able to stand up and look to his window,” said Julie Logan, Dern’s aunt and KFSR program director. “Every great thing you’ve heard about him is true.”

Logan said the Fresno Fire Department has provided great support.

Henry Madden Library to stay open until midnight for finals

By Nayirah Dosu @DoeSuu11

Fresno State students will have an extra hour to cram for finals at Henry Madden Library.

From April 27 to May 13, the library will be open from 7:45 a.m. to midnight between Monday and Thursday. Operating hours will remain the same on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. The move is aimed to

accommodate students during finals, said Dave Tyckoson, associate dean of the library.

“Based on data from our exit gates, more people use the library late at night the last three weeks of finals than at any other time during the semester,” Tyckoson said.

Junior Nwachukwu Oputa said she likes that the library has later hours since she is unable to study on campus earlier in the day due to school and

work.

“I always thought it was great they stayed opened late,” Oputa said.

Other students, like junior Natori Burgess, see the extra hour as a benefit to students who like to study somewhere other than their home.

“I think it’s good for people who prefer to study in the library,” Burgess said.

Almost all sections of the library, including the DISCOV-

ERe Hub, will be open for students to use during the extended hours.

“You can use the collections, check out and return books and laptops, get help at the START Here desk, print documents and use library computers,” Tyckoson said.

The practice of extending library hours near finals is expected to continue in future semesters, Tyckoson said.

Acknowledging the Armenian Genocide

By Paul Schlesinger @PaulSch_Photog

Genocide. That was a word that Pope Francis used in a Mass at St. Peter’s Basilica on Sunday to mark the 100th anniversary of the mass killing of 1.5 million Armenians at the hands of the Ottoman Turks.

The Pope called the Armenian Genocide the “first genocide of the 20th century.”

Genocide and Armenian are words that no U.S. president has had the guts to officially place together in a sentence. They are only able to reflect on Armenian Remembrance Day without any mention of the word genocide.

The reason? They fear what happened diplomatically to the Holy See would happen with at a much larger scale to the United States. Turkey immediately recalled its ambassador to Vatican City in a form of protest to the Pope’s statements.

Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu took to Twitter to say, “The Pope’s statement, which is out of touch with both historical facts and legal basis, is simply unacceptable.”

What is really unacceptable is that the U.S. president doesn’t have the will to speak his mind on what’s a clear cut issue stand for what’s right.

President Barack Obama said in a statement to mark the 99th anniversary of the genocide that “a full, frank and just acknowledgement of the facts is in all of our interests.”

Obama should take initiative in light of the upcoming 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide to acknowledge the fact that it was not just a massacre, but call it

Jeffrey Bruno • Aleteia

Pope Francis at the Canonization of Saint John XXIII and Saint John Paul II by he and the Catholic Church on April 27, 2014. This event, attended by millions is amongst the most important in current history.

what it really was: a genocide.

Even in Congress, bill after bill calling for the official recognition of the Armenian Genocide by the president and the U.S. government dies on arrival on the floor.

The main reason is direct lobbying by Turkey and the White House to thwart any passage of such a bill. Their logic is usually that any kind of official recognition by the president would “hurt relations” with Turkey.

They say that Turkey would force the U.S. to close its bases in the country and shut off access to its airspace forcing the United States to find other partners in the region to have airbases and flyover rights.

In peacetime, this would be a plausible fear.

Yes, Ankara, the capital of Turkey, may withdraw its diplomats from Washington and force the U.S. to do the same with its counterparts. But it wouldn’t force the closure of the bases and airspace.

The Turks don’t want to alienate the international community by isolating itself from the U.S. and the rest of its North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies.

Especially when Turkey is only a doorstep away from failed states like Iraq and Syria – which are both in the midst of a civil war and dominated by the Islamic State group.

Fighting has taken place in towns that are right along the border of Turkey - with men and women being smuggled back and

forth between the countries - either to join the fight or to escape the horrors of war.

They need all the help they can get from its Western allies to keep the violence from spilling into their countryside.

The situation in the Middle East could allow the conversation to begin to officially recognize the genocide on the federal level.

Which, sadly doesn’t really need to be discussed. Clearly genocide took place in the Caucasus region in the early 1900s and it was the hands of the Ottoman Turks.

While the Ottomans are no longer in power and Turkey is now a secular society in an otherwise autocratically run region, it needs to own up on the actions of its past leaders.

Just like how the U.S. government has owned up to its not-so-righteous actions like the Guatemala syphilis experiment and the conquest of the First Nations.

Politics shouldn’t be introduced into the conversation when it’s about genocide.

When something happens that is clearly wrong, we as a society should be able to easily recognize it as such.

Twenty-one countries and 44 U.S. states as of February 2015 recognize the Armenian Genocide, according to the Armenian National Institute.

Maybe the current president – or whoever it may be with the 2016 presidential campaign beginning – will have the guts to add genocide and Armenian in the same sentence to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.

Fresno State’s Filipino club, Magkaisa, shared stories of American-Filipino culture through live singing and dancing as well as a play performance at Sunday’s Pilipino Culture Night.

The Satellite Student Union was filled with several different cultural members crafting an environment of cultural awareness for Fresno State’s Filipino students.

Fresno State graphic design student and Magkaisa club member, Courtney Thongsavath, said it was her third year attending Pilipino Culture Night.

“I’m really proud of them,” Thongsavath said of the performers and club members who helped put the night together.

“My friends — they are Filipino, and I was approached by the club to join four years ago,” Thongsavath said. “It’s a culture club, and I’m more attracted to cultural kinds of clubs.”

Thongsavath said that the club is worth joining, because you are able to meet new people and have an opportunity to learn about the Filipino culture.

“They’re not all Filipino,”

“Family is not bound by the blood that flows through our veins. It is also encompassed by the memories and experiences that we share with the people that we see every day.”

— JOSE NICHOLAI DIONISIO, performer at Pilipino Culture Night Thongsavath said, “It’s very diverse — I’m not Filipino; I’m Laotian.”

Thongsavath said that Magkaisa members are proud to be Filipino and she wishes everyone were proud about their ancestry and origin.

“That’s what you get from this club,” Thongsavath said. “They are so proud of it.”

Fresno State freshman Colton Robinson, a non-club member of Magkaisa, said he thought the Pilipino Culture Night was fantastic.

“I was overjoyed to see some of my friends performing at their best, and it was an overall exciting experience to see the culture and dance and the music all come together into one fantastic performance,” Robinson said.

Robinson said it was an enlightening experience.

“I didn’t know much about the culture so I think seeing and experiencing some of the dance and rituals that they do was a unique experience,” Robinson said. “This is getting me excited — they have good music.”

Opening the night’s performance, Jose Nicholai Dionisio told audience members to cherish their loved one’s and encouraged them to partake in the night’s program.

Dionisio said that from the past three years of his Magkaisa membership, he thinks that regardless of all the mistakes and faults that people have, they still have their loved ones.

“Family is not bound by the blood that flows through our veins. It is also encompassed by the memories and experiences that we share with the people that we see every day,” Dionisio said.

TV REVIEW

‘Daredevil’ is the dark, hyper-violent

superhero series fans have been waiting for

By Rory Appleton @RoryDoesPhonics

Marvel’s long-awaited TV adaptation of the “Daredevil” comic book hit Netflix on Friday, and the title character makes one thing perfectly clear from the beginning: His methods are not pretty.

The show centers on Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox), a blind lawyer who dons a mask and stretchy outfit at night to sort out whatever problems his day job can’t touch.

Murdock is about as far from the traditional cookie-cutter superhero found on network TV as can be. He kills people – and not always by accident. His “plans” often deteriorate into clumsy brawls in which he is hurt more than the thugs he is attacking.

However, through great casting and a fantastic sense of story pace, the hours melt off the clock while watching a truly fantastic addition to Marvel’s unending adaptation stable take shape.

Cox (“Boardwalk Empire”) simply is Murdock/Daredevil. His commitment to the role of a blind man – never once even flinching when other actors perform strictly visual actions – is exceptional. His half-clumsy, half-acrobatic movements fit the spirit of the beloved character, and his slow, monotone delivery of each line gives the character a slightly sinister edge.

However, the lynchpin of the entire cast was the selection of Vincent D’Onofrio as the Kingpin, Daredevil’s principle enemy.

I don’t know what strange, independent movie set they peeled D’Onofrio from, but I hope they never let him go back. We all know he can produce “crazy guy” on a screen as well as anyone.

The “Daredevil” creative team chose to gently fold the Kingpin into the story – almost as if they were mixing the ingredients of a mass-murdering Chiffon cake. The buildup allows both the character’s loving and twisted sides to shock us even further.

“Daredevil” also maintains a wonderful sense of balance.

The writers put serious work into developing both of Murdock’s lives; we spend a good chunk of the first few episodes watching him give closing arguments in court and deal with office problems. This somewhat tedious time adds more punch to the fight scenes.

That’s where the true genius of this latest “Daredevil” adaptation shows through: The fight choreography.

The show’s many, many brawls walk a seemingly impossible line between appearing completely fake and being some of the most realistic fights in the entire genre.

Murdock can somehow predict the movements of the eight guys he is taking on, but hitting someone’s leg with a pipe actually

Charlie Cox stars in the Netflix Original Series “Marvel’s Daredevil.”

forces bone out of the skin.

This weird back-and-forth totally works.

We expect at least a little bit of a fantastic suspension of reality from a superhero show. At the same time, the shock of exposed muscle and shattered bodies give us the pit in our stomach that we should have when watching mob violence.

Barry Wetcher • Netflix/TNS

Overall, “Daredevil” has an aggression that you simply can’t find in any other superhero franchise. It is an unapologetically dark tale of a flawed, but noble vigilante and an absolutely addictive streaming experience.

Incoming students size up campus during Saturday’s Preview Day PREVIEW from Page 1 the school has to offer.”

The event featured 100 student organizations, 30 of them being academic organizations that were in the academic fair. Students were able to speak and meet with members of various organizations to see what each organization had to offer.

Francisco Mojarro, a member of Lambda Theta Phi, said, “It’s important for new students to see and have a feel of the school they have enrolled into. It’s also a good way for new students to meet each other and faculty.”

Artemio Rubio, a volunteer for California Student Opportunity and Access Program, said, “It’s turning out to be a really good event. We are starting to see a

lot of young faces. Hopefully this could be a prelude to what Dog Days could be.”

Hector Mendoza and his family came to Fresno State from Modesto for Preview Day. They said it was an interesting event, and got a lot of information that made it worth the trip.

“I enrolled into Fresno State for computer engineering to develop my career,” Mendoza said.

“Ever since I took a campus tour, I liked the school. I’ve seen other schools, and this is the one I liked.”

“The event started in the Save Mart Center, where those who attended were able to hear from Fresno State President Joseph Castro, Vice President for Student Affairs Frank Lamas, Provost Lynnette Zelezny, among others before being dismissed by their

majors,” Yang said. “They got to hear from the people in their major, and who their prospective dean would be.”

Once they finished, they were able to take tours of the campus and the Rec Center and attend workshops on various subjects such as financial aid and admissions.

Community comes to firefighter’s aid DERN from Page 1 “[Fresno Fire Department’s] brotherhood is remarkable and they have a constant presence in support at the hospital,” she said. “I never saw less than 50 firefighters there when I went to see him.”

Dern has received widespread support throughout the community, sparking several fundraising events for him and his family. A youcaring.com fundraiser was set up by Karey Wedemeyer to fundraise $2,000. The large outpouring from people in the community and across the world has raised more than $134,000 as of Sunday evening.

The “Lights On for Capt. Pete Dern” campaign, started by one of Dern’s neighbors, organizes nightly vigils supporting Dern’s full recovery. It started on April 5 and has seen hundreds attend to show their

support.

“It started as a porch light thing. It’s crazy,” Logan said. “It’s everywhere, all across the country and many countries’ stations are showing their support. It has gone just as viral as the actual video [of the accident] did. Departments from all over the world — I’m talking Germany, Belgium— are doing it.”

Many communities in surrounding areas have also held blood drives for Dern and others.

“The Central California Blood Center told me they have not seen this kind of response since 9/11,” Logan said. “They are grateful for everyone who has donated blood on his behalf.” “[The family] values the prayers that are being said on Pete and the family’s behalf,” she said.

Tasty treats come to Fresno with new ice cream chain CREAM from Page 1 The ice cream shop will replace the vacant spot at 1760 E. Barstow Ave. in the Bulldog Plaza Shopping Center.

CREAM’s menu boasts around 20 ice cream and cookie flavors and more than 24 toppings for customers to mix and match with. And for those with a health-conscious diet, the store also has gluten-free and vegan options and fruit bars.

“It began with just ice cream sandwiches, but now they just keep adding to it,” Barhum said. “The two biggest draws are the sandwiches themselves where you can mix and match the type of ice cream and cookies and then the shakes is second. The shakes use homemade ice cream created

by the founders of CREAM.” While the sandwiches and its hundreds of possible combiwnations are fan favorites, CREAM also has malts, floats, brownies and a taco shell-shaped waffle cone treat, dubbed “The Cream Taco.”

For Barhum, opening a CREAM was a no-brainer.

“You get into business to make money, but when you get the chance to make money and have fun doing it, you take it,” Barhum said. “CREAM does that and I love the experience people have there.

“When you look at the people there, they’re all having fun and the employees are having fun serving the customers. You don’t get that often and with CREAM you get that.”

‘Dogs hand ranked Wolf Pack first series loss of season BASEBALL from Page 8 In the last game, the ‘Dogs managed to pull out a 3-1 win over the conference rival.

Sophomore Jimmy Lambert took the mound for the ‘Dogs on Sunday and lasted a career-high eight innings, giving up four hits and one earned run in the game. Lambert loaded the bases in the top of the eigth with two outs but managed to pull through and record a ground-out to end the inning.

Joe Prior accounted for all three runs in the game for the ‘Dogs with three RBIs off a home run in the fourth inning and a sacrifice fly in the sixth inning.

“He’s staying in there and he’s hitting against right-handers for the first time in about two or three weeks,” said Fresno State head coach Mike Batesole. “If we can get him turned, it’s almost like getting a good player off the DL. It changes the lineup and it lets us get one hitter deeper. Mark your numbers where they are now and again at the end of the season. He might become our best hitter.”

When asked what it was like to see Prior hit that home-run, Batesole simply said, “beautiful.”

The ‘Dogs next game will be on the road Tuesday at 6 p.m. when they will be taking on Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo.

“It was all about the ball movement,” she said.

“We did what we wanted to do on attack, we made each other open and it allowed me to finish those opportunities.”

Cal would not go down just yet as Golden Bears Gaby Christman and Brynn Gasparino would go on to score the next two goals and give their team the 10-9 lead at around the 10-minute mark. The game remained in Cal’s favor until Fresno State’s Anjelica Fuccillo tied the game with just less than two minutes to go to set up the game-winner.

Cisneros did not play due to a broken wrist suffered a few weeks back that ended her season.

“We’ve all been working hard for Holly,” Levatino said. “She’s a rode model to me and the hardest worker I’ve ever met. There’s no one I would have rather spent these four years with.”

The ‘Dogs’ final two games of the season will be on the road on April 24 and 26 against Colorado and Denver, respectively.

“To end our home season and Senior Day with a win feels great,” head coach Jessica Giglio said.

“We just broke another record for most wins in a season (5-8) so far and we still have two games left.

It was against a great conference opponent and it’s the first time we’ve ever had two conference wins.

We’re just going up and up, and I’m just really excited.”

A freshman stepped up on Senior Day for the Fresno State lacrosse team.

With six seconds to go, midfielder Lindsay Hobson delivered a shot that hit the back of the net to lift the Bulldogs past Cal for the 11-10 win Sunday afternoon at the Soccer & Lacrosse Field.

“It was an awesome moment,” Hobson said. “You could feel the energy and we all really just wanted that win. In the end, we

By Conrad Kimball @Conrad_Kimball

The Fresno State baseball team won two out of three games in a weekend series against the Nevada Wolf Pack. This marks the first time this season Nevada has lost a weekend series this season.

Nevada 5, Fresno State 4 In the first game, Nevada managed to sneak by Fresno State with five runs on just three hits in the game. Fresno State’s starting pitcher Jake Shull made his first start of the season, and had just two unearned runs and a hit going into the fifth inning with a 4-2 lead. Two hits in the

fifth inning was all it took for the Wolf Pack to take a 5-2 lead in the fifth.

The ‘Dogs had a chance to get back in the game in the sixth inning when they loaded the bases with Ryan Dobson, Taylor Ward, and Taylor Tempel. Then the Wolf Pack brought in lefty JoJo Romero from their bullpen, inducing a double-play and keeping their lead intact.

Fresno State relievers Anthony Arias and Garrett Mundell both combined to allow just one hit and no runs in four innings of work.

Fresno State 14, Nevada 10 Four hours and 13 minutes. That was the official time of Saturday night’s game.

In what was Fresno State’s first victory

over the Wolf Pack in six outings, the two teams combined for 24 runs and 29 hits in a thriller.

The ‘Dogs fell behind 3-1 early to the Wolf Pack in the first inning before the ‘Dogs would come back with a huge second inning behind Kevin Viers’ two-run home run over the right field fence. The ‘Dogs also got contributions in the inning with singles from Dobson and Brody Russell that helped extend the lead to 6-3.

The Wolf Pack cut the lead 7-5 in the top of the fifth, but the ‘Dogs had a huge answer in the bottom of the inning. The ‘Dogs managed to load the bases twice in the inning off of walks, singles, and errors

by Nevada.

After a five-run inning, the game started to get fired up when the bench-

es cleared after a fight broke out when freshman infielder Korby Batesole slid into Nevada’s shortstop Kyle Hunt and was tagged out. Seven players and both head coaches were ejected from the game after the altercation.

Although the ‘Dogs pushed the lead to 14-5 in the seventh inning, the Wolf Pack refused to give up, scoring five runs in the eighth and loading the bases in the ninth.

Fresno State captain Garrett Mundell was brought in to pitch and he was able to secure the last two outs of the ninth, giving Fresno State the win 14-10.
