Water samples taken by state health inspectors earlier this week at Red Hill Elementary School and Aliamanu Child Development Center, where fuel is suspected of contaminating the drinking water, were damaged in transit and unable to be analyzed by a lab in California, according to the Hawaii Department of Health.
Jessica McClintock, influential S.F. designer, dies at 90 By Steve Rubenstein
From her headquarters on Potrero Hill, Jessica McClintock oversaw a clothing empire that, at its height, operated dozens of stores across the country and outfitted women in dresses, handbags, watches, eyeglasses and a perfume that hinted of jasmine.
The influential designer died in her sleep on Feb. 16, smack in the middle of what her website declared to be the month of romance, “when most weddings are planned.” McClintock was 90.
McClintock sold fantasy as much as she sold finery. Her silky, satiny creations cost three figures, not four or five. In later years they were sold at Marshall’s, not Saks, and at Nordstrom Rack, not Nordstrom. But at the height of her empire, in the 1970s and 1980s, she adorned scores of women in calico, jute and lace for proms, graduations and the wedding altar.
