SPRINGFIELD, Mass. — Police in
western Massachusetts say a man has
been arrested in the robbery of a food
delivery driver after he returned to the
driver’s restaurant for seconds.
Sgt. John Delaney says police arrested
23-year-old Edward Blatch on Monday
at Fu Wong Restaurant in Springfield
after the delivery driver identified him.
Delaney said the driver and cooks sur-
rounded Blatch and held him until offi-

Blatch is scheduled to be arraigned on
an armed robbery charge Tuesday in
Springfield District Court. It was unclear
if he had an attorney.
Police say two men robbed the 23-
year-old restaurant driver at gunpoint
when he made a delivery in September,
taking the food, $200, a cell phone and a

Bringin’ the blues to Redwood City
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Robert Cray may have multiple Grammys,
numerous albums and played on stages with
other jazz and blues greats, but being on stage
wasn’t his forte in the beginning.
Cray started touring with one requirement:
his bassist, Richard Cousins, announced the
songs. Cray would sing, but talking to the
audience was a challenge he wasn’t ready to
face.
Still, Cray loved music and playing on
stage.
“It’s fun playing music. It overrides every-
thing. ... It’s just a personal challenge, with all
these opposing factors weighing down on you;
hoping you’re not going to mess up when you
play,” he said.
It’s that personal challenge that keeps Cray
hitting the stage. The musician will be bring-
ing his legendary tunes to Redwood City
Friday night to perform at the Fox Theatre in
downtown Redwood City.
Each performance Cray does is a little dif-
ferent. The band knows it will include hits like
“Smoking Gun” and “Right Next Door
(Because of Me),” but not when they will be
played.
“We don’t try to do the same things every
night. We don’t use a set list. We try to enlarge
our repertoire and we get on stage and we call
them,” he said, noting anyone in the band
might decide how the evening will kick off.
Cray’s introduction to music may explain
his desire to be loose with the set list.
Cray grew up moving around a lot. His father
was in the Army, which often meant being the
new guy. But his family kept a wonderful
record collection full of blues, jazz and gospel.

For a short time, while living in Germany, Cray
began playing the piano. This coincidentally
was when Cray’s father often listened to Ray
Charles. But as a teen in the northwest, Cray
joined the Beatles craze and stopped pounding
keys in exchange for a guitar.

Obituary
Elizabeth Sylvia Dukes, born May 7, 1925, died peacefully

Nan and humorously as Queen Elizabeth. She was proud of her
English heritage and passed on her love of all things English to
everyone she met. Elizabeth came to America in 1947 and lived
for 60 years in San Mateo where she raised her four children.
A homemaker and volunteer, she loved music, sang in the choir

Ridership down at SamTrans
If trend continues, more bus fare hikes possible
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Ridership on SamTrans slipped 9
percent in September compared to
last year, a trend that, if it continues,
could lead to more service reduc-
tions and possible fare increases
next year, said Chuck Harvey, San
Mateo County Transit District
deputy chief executive officer.
The bus service was forced to
increase fares and reduce service
this year to stem a deficit and more
increases and cuts to service may be
needed if ridership continues to
decline, Harvey said.
Total revenue for September com-
pared to last year is also down just
slightly, however, at less than 1 per-
cent, although revenue from the

Jean Quan elected

Oakland’s mayor
By Terry Collins
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAKLAND — Jean Quan has been elect-
ed Oakland’s next mayor, becoming the city’s
first female mayor and the
first Asian American
woman to lead a major
U.S. city, in what’s being
considered an upset win
over a heavily favored
opponent.
The city council-
woman, 61, received 51
percent of the vote, com-
Jean Quan
pared with 49 percent for
former state Sen. Don Perata, Alameda
County elections officials said Wednesday.
She replaces outgoing Mayor Ronald
Dellums, who chose not to seek a second
term.
“This is really a proud moment for
Oakland’s grassroots organizing,” Quan said
moments after learning she won. “We’re very
proud.”
The results followed a dayslong process of
tallying votes under a new “ranked-choice”
system that allowed voters to list their first,
second and third-place candidates.
Perata held a double-digit lead over Quan
when first-choice returns were counted last
week.
“Having won over 11,000 more first-choice
votes than his nearest rival, these numbers
need to be scrutinized carefully, and spoken
to carefully,” Perata spokesman Rhys
Williams said Wednesday. “No decision has
been taken on next steps.”
Perata is scheduled to hold a news confer-
ence Thursday outside an Oakland police sta-
tion.
Quan captured the lead late last week when
third-place finisher, Councilwoman Rebecca
Kaplan, was eliminated and votes cast for her
were reapportioned to Quan and Perata.

Analyst: State deficit at $25.4B
By Juliet Williams
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — California’s nonparti-
san legislative analyst reported Wednesday
that the state’s budget deficit has grown to
$25.4 billion, including a $6.1 billion shortfall
in the spending plan Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger signed just weeks ago.
The deficit includes a $19.3 billion gap for
the 2011-12 budget year that runs through
June 2012, legislative analyst Mac Taylor
said, more than a fifth of the $86.6 billion gen-
eral fund spending plan approved on Oct. 8.
Fixing the state’s structural deficit will
entail “unavoidably painful sacrifice” for
Californians who have already weathered suc-
cessive years of massive cuts, Taylor said.
Gov.-elect Jerry Brown will be forced to
confront the problem when he is sworn into
office in January. He faces a constitutional
deadline to present a balanced budget just a
week later.
A spokesman for Brown, Evan Westrup,
said Wednesday the Democrat will be “diving
deep” into the budget when he returns from
vacation next week. “Our transition team is
closely reviewing the report and will closely
consider its findings moving forward,”
Westrup said.

Cal State approves 15
percent tuition hike
By Terence Chea
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — California State
University students are bracing for higher
tuition bills after the 23-campus system’s
governing board approved a plan Wednesday
to raise fees 15.5 percent by next fall.
The CSU Board of Trustees voted to
increase fees for undergraduate, graduate and
credential programs by 5 percent for the 2011
winter and spring terms, and by another 10
percent for the fall 2011 term.
Next fall, in-state undergrads will pay
$4,884 in annual tuition, which doesn’t
include individual campus fees or room and
board. Credential program students will
$5,670 for an academic year, and graduate
students will pay $6,018 annually.
University officials said they need to raise

was foreseeable when lawmakers approved
the 2010-11 budget in October, more than 100
days late. The spending plan was filled with
gimmicks, cost shifts and about $3.5 billion in
federal funding that won’t materialize.
Taylor said that budget also relied on put-
ting aside nearly $800 million less for prison
medical care than is possible and $400 million
in Medi-Cal savings that are impossible
because of the late budget and current costs,
Taylor said.
“The temporary nature of most of the
Legislature’s 2010 budget-balancing actions
and the painfully slow economic recovery”
will also affect next year’s spending plan, he
said.
Fixing the state’s structural budget deficit
will be even harder now, as lawmakers have
already slashed the programs that account for
more than half the state budget — education
and Medi-Cal, the state’s health insurance
program for the poor. There are restrictions on
how much more can be cut from each.
student fees again to offset deep cuts in state
funding that have led to staff furloughs, fewer
course offerings and enrollment reductions
over the past year.
The CSU system, which currently has
about 430,000 students, receives the same
amount of money from the state as it did five
years ago even though it has 25,000 more stu-
dents, said Executive Vice Chancellor
Benjamin Quillian.
The full board’s vote came a day after the
finance committee approved the increases in
tuition, which have already risen by more
than 30 percent over the past year.
Dozens of CSU students protested outside
university headquarters in Long Beach,
where the board meeting was held. At the
meeting, many spoke out against the fee hikes
and urged the trustees to work harder to
secure more state support.
Lawmakers and the governor “are going to
have to look at revenues, they are going to
have to look at taxes,” Taylor said at a news
conference. “They have to look at everything
if we’re going to have a chance of closing
this.”
The newly elected Assembly minority
leader, Connie Conway, R-Tulare, immediate-
ly ruled out increasing taxes.
“The people of California have repeatedly
made it clear that they don’t want to pay high-
er taxes to fund Sacramento’s budget mis-
takes,” Conway said. “Republicans will fight
any effort to raise taxes to fund more irre-
sponsible overspending.”
The legislative analyst expects California to
face annual budget problems of about $20 bil-
lion each year through 2015-16. He painted a
grim picture for the state’s future if lawmakers
do not tackle the ongoing structural deficit,
saying the state’s efforts to rebuild aging
infrastructure, rein in pension liabilities and
maintain services would be crippled.

Cracks found in shuttle
fuel tank, not just foam
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — NASA dis-
covered cracks in Discovery’s fuel tank
Wednesday, an added problem that will com-
plicate trying to launch the space shuttle on its
final voyage this year.
The two cracks — each 9 inches long —
were found on the exterior of the aluminum
tank, beneath a larger crack in the insulating
foam that covers the 15-story tank. The
cracks are in an area that holds instruments,
not fuel.
NASA spokesman Allard Beutel said engi-
neers believe the tank can be repaired at the
launch pad, although it’s never been tried
before. It’s unclear, though, whether the work
can be done in time to meet a Nov. 30 launch
attempt.
Discovery was grounded Friday by a hydro-
gen gas leak that cropped up during fueling
Friday. It was the latest in a weeklong string
of technical and weather postponements. A
20-inch crack in the foam was discovered
soon after the last countdown was halted.

National deficit targets: Social
Security and mortgage breaks
By Andrew Taylor
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — In a politically incendi-
ary plan, the bipartisan leaders of President
Barack Obama’s deficit commission proposed
curbs in Social Security benefits, deep reduc-
tions in federal spending and higher taxes for
millions of Americans Wednesday to stem a
flood of red ink that they said threatens the
nation’s very future.
The White House responded coolly, some
leading lawmakers less so to proposals that tar-
get government programs long considered all
but sacred. Besides Social Security, Medicare
spending would be curtailed. Tax breaks for
many health care plans, too. And the
Pentagon’s budget, as well, in a plan designed
to cut total deficits by as much as $4 trillion
over the next decade.
The plan arrived exactly one week after elec-
tions that featured strong voter demands for
economic change in Washington. But criticism
was immediate from advocacy groups on the
left and, to some extent, the right at the start of
the post-election debate on painful steps neces-
sary to rein in out-of-control deficits.
The plan would gradually increase the retire-
ment age for full Social Security benefits — to
69 by 2075 — and current recipients would
receive smaller-than-anticipated annual
increases. Equally controversial, it would elim-
inate the current tax deduction that homeown-
ers receive for the interest they pay on their
mortgages.
No one is expecting quick action on any of
the plan’s pieces. Proposed cuts to Social
Security and Medicare are making liberals
recoil. And conservative Republicans are hav-
ing difficulty with options suggested for raising
taxes. The plan also calls for cuts in farm sub-
sidies, foreign aid and the Pentagon’s budget.
The document was released by Democrat
Erskine Bowles, a former Clinton White House
NATION
“The president will
wait until the bipartisan
fiscal commission finishes
its work before commenting.”
— Bill Burton,White House spokesman
chief of staff, and Republican Alan Simpson, a
former senator from Wyoming.
Acknowledging the controversy involved,
Simpson quipped to reporters: “We’ll both be
in a witness protection program when this is all
over, so look us up.” Said Bowles: “This is a
starting point.”
Controversial or not, Bowles said serious
action was demanded. He declared, “This debt
is like a cancer that will truly destroy this coun-
try from within if we don’t fix it.”
The government reported separately
Wednesday that the deficit for last month alone
was $140.4 billion — and that was 20 percent
lower than a year earlier. The red ink for all of
the past fiscal year was $1.29 trillion, second
highest on record, and this year is headed for
the third straight total above $1 trillion.
Current deficits require the government to
borrow 37 cents out of every dollar it spends.
Still, the plan was rejected as “simply unac-
ceptable” by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-
Calif., a top Obama ally.
The White House held its fire. Said
spokesman Bill Burton, “The president will
wait until the bipartisan fiscal commission fin-
ishes its work before commenting.” He called
the ideas “only a step in the process.”
The Social Security proposal would change
the inflation measurement used to calculate
cost-of-living adjustments for benefits, reduc-
ing annual increases. It immediately drew a
withering assault from advocates for seniors,
who are already upset that there will be no
inflation increase for 2011, the second straight
year.
County locks down
schools after threat
PEMBROKE PINES, Fla. — Thousands of
students in the nation’s sixth-largest school
district spent hours locked in their classrooms
Wednesday after an unidentified woman called
a radio station and said her husband might go
to a campus and open fire with a gun.
The lockdown of all 300 Broward County
schools was ordered after the radio station
found it had earlier been sent an e-mail, per-
haps by the husband, saying “something big
was going to happen,” possibly at a post office
or a school, said Pembroke Pines Police Capt.
Daniel Rakofsky.
Broward school Superintendent James
Notter said the threat included hate words,
apparently against certain ethnic and religious
groups. The district has nearly 257,000 stu-
dents, who were let go at their normal time.

ATLANTA — Nearly one in 10 U.S. chil-

years earlier that government scientists think
might be explained by growing awareness and
better screening.
ADHD, or attention deficit hyperactivity
disorder, makes it hard for kids to pay atten-
tion and control impulsive behavior. It’s often
treated with drugs, behavioral therapy, or both.
In the new government study, about two-
thirds of the children who have ADHD are on

‘Go say thank you’
I
watched a young boy, maybe
6 or 7, gingerly maneuver
down the steps of a minor
league baseball stadium with his
father earlier this year.
The boy’s arms were filled with
hot dogs and cotton candy, a base-
ball cap sat upon his head and his
face looked amazed at all the
commotion on and off the field.
“Go on,” his father nudged him
toward the field, where the cere-
monial first pitch was being
thrown out by an Iraqi war veter-
an who looked like a boy himself
underneath the eye patch and a
scar running down the length of
his cheek. An announcer had said
the man survived a roadside
bombing and was lucky to be
alive. Very true, although I won-
der if he frankly thought that as
he struggled with half an arm to
lob the baseball toward the catch-
er.
“Go say thank you,” the father
told the boy who looked a little
apprehensive at approaching the
veteran walking off the field into
the stands. Maybe it was the very
apparent injuries that put off the
child; more likely it was just the
idea of talking to a stranger with-
out the immediate protection of
his father.
“Go tell him thank you,” the
father urged.
“What for?” the boy asked him.
“For keeping you and our coun-
try safe,” the father replied,
although the chances of such a
young boy putting together the
hobbled man and personal securi-
ty were pretty slim.
After all, its a concept many

oncern for our military
veterans should never be
limited to holidays. In
particular, we need an ongoing
national dialogue that speaks to
the plight of young men and
women returning from Iraq and
Afghanistan.
I went to Afghanistan a year
ago and saw firsthand that the
Afghan people hate the Taliban
and they want the United States to
leave. This isn’t a contradictory
statement — it’s the realization
that 10 years of war is enough —
there’s been too much collateral
damage.
While I support a withdrawal
from Afghanistan, I also want
people to understand and appreci-
ate the cost of war. Researchers
estimate that $663 billion will be
devoted to benefits for veterans
from Iraq and Afghanistan.
Without any reservations, we have
an obligation to support all our
veterans. We also need to compre-
hend, not only the pure costs in
terms of dollars, but the price of
pain and suffering that goes on
long after our troops come home.
These past six months I’ve been
talking to veterans at the Ft.
Miley VA Hospital in San
Francisco and at the Palo Alto VA
hospital. I’ve also met with veter-

adults would have trouble imme-
diately connecting. Added to that,
the baseball game in question
wasn’t on a symbolic day like
Veterans Day. It was some ran-
dom Tuesday or Saturday or who
knows when. It was just a day that
veteran probably didn’t think he’d
live to see after his attack and that
the little boy may not even
remember right now.
But in that moment, that dad
taught his son something we
should all remember: to say thank
you.
Oh, we tell ourselves and each
other that each Veterans Day, each
Memorial Day, each time there is
a parade or an obituary or the
opening of a new VA clinic or we
meet somebody just shipping out
or just returning home. We might
even think about it when we get
old enough to realize that the
dusty World War II medals grand-
pa rarely pulled out or the
Vietnam War photos our fathers
discusses even less often represent
something more than the memo-
ries of an individual.
But how often do we actually
say it? How often does that
sacrifice, regardless of whether
it was volunteered or demand-
ed, go recognized outside of
these official days when the
calendar and federal holidays

Veterans
Resource
Center at San

College. My
staff and I have
talked to VA
doctors both on
and off the
record. Here’s what we see:
• The signature injury from Iraq
and Afghanistan is a compressed
vertebrae caused by hauling
around 110 pounds of gear for
months on end. Much of the
weight comes from bulletproof
vests and neck guards. The infuri-
ating fact is that only a small per-
centage of our troops are issued
lightweight bullet proof gear
known as dragon skin — most are
given heavier, cheaper equipment.
We spend billions on gas for mili-
tary transportation and weapons
but limit support for protective
gear. That’s not right.
• Roadside bombs are a leading
cause of traumatic brain injuries.
In about 20 percent of the cases,
brain trauma will require a life-
time of care. I visited a veteran
who was shot through the shoul-
der blade — the impact shook his
brain and rendered him helpless
for months. His eyes were wide-
open — he was staring through
me, I thought, when he showed
me and his parents that he could
OPINION
tell us to take a moment?
None of the veterans I know or
have known ever specifically
asked for a thank you. Not my
friends, not my significant others,
not my grandparents and certainly
not my father. Collectively, they’d
felt Napalm kiss their skin,
watched atomic blasts at Bikini
Atoll with nothing but a pair of
sunglasses, stormed beaches in
France, prayed for safety as
Japanese bombs took down ships
at Pearl Harbor, wondered why
the military told them not to tell
who they really loved, suffered
post-traumatic stress disorder in
silence, traced names of fallen
friends in slabs of marble memo-
rials, saw healed bullet wounds in
the mirror daily.
All of these things — they are
some of the reasons to say thank
you, as that little boy may some-
day understand.
But you can only understand the
things you learn and he is lucky to
have a parent who appeared ready
to teach. No two people, no two
veterans, are the same and per-
haps there are some who have no
qualms asking for an overt sign of
appreciation. Yet, the majority
appear to share a common sense
of humility about their individual
military contributions.
So today, Veterans Day, don’t
take a few steps. I was looking at
fear — it’s a look I’ve known
before. But he did move forward
and I know he will reclaim his life
in the future.
• Many veterans find it difficult
to sleep, so they take pain pills,
some to the point of addiction.
The average veteran of Iraq and
Afghanistan has five medical con-
ditions that need treatment upon
discharge. Back pain and pill
addiction are common along with
post-traumatic stress syndrome.
• Thirty percent of injured
troops died in World War II; 24
percent in Vietnam and 10 percent
in Iraq and Afghanistan. Simply
put, a large percentage of combat
survivors in their 20s and 30s are
coming home, often with lethal
results. A recent study of
California death certificates
showed that between 2005-2008
more veterans under 35 died after
discharge than died while in com-
bat during that same time period.
In fact, 1,000 California veterans
under 35 died at home soil, main-
ly through suicide or risky behav-
ior (motorcycle accidents, drug
use, etc.)
There is a common sense way
to help more of these young and
women straighten out their lives.

A Client’s Success Story . . . Mateo County. Caminar’s services help lead disabled individuals to
independent – rather than dependent - living.
“Caminar gives opportunities to people with disabilities to work,
make a living and recover from depression,” Sheri said. “That’s a huge
accomplishment for vulnerable people. In the past, those with mental and
physical disabilities were warehoused. Now they are working and taking
care of themselves with the help of Caminar. The agency offers incredible
opportunities to reach recovery and self-sufficiency.”
Sheri began her road to physical and emotional recovery by attending
college classes at College of San Mateo through Caminar’s Transition
to College program.
“I never thought college was an option. I am a first generation college
student so I was frightened at first,” Sheri said. “I started to get
more comfortable with education and learned about becoming a peer
counselor. With my personal experiences, I felt I could fill a niche by
giving back to those with disabilities.”
Caminar Jobs Plus Director, Michael Schocket, met Sheri at CSM
and after a brief discussion he knew she has what it takes to be a job
coach and he offered her a job.
Sheri has been sharing her story and helping others with similar
challenges for more than three years. As a job coach, Sheri has tackled
many of the physical and emotional challenges her clients face day to day
and now guides them as they work to become independent.
“I’m a totally different person now,” Sheri says. “At that time, I didn’t

The job coach position was the first job Sheri held and she
flourished. The day-to-day responsibilities gave her a new purpose.
Her interactions with her clients help give her a new perspective and
much-needed confidence.
“I found working at Caminar has helped my mental well being” Sheri
said. “I have work that allows me to be honest about my life and my past
experiences. I am better, and my pain has become more manageable.”
Sheri provides job coaching to four clients and also gives workshops
at Caminar’s Redwood House, a mental health crisis residential
program. “I tell them my story and how I was so depressed. I never
thought I’d be where I am today. The injury made me hopeless. The
pain was so intense. The pain and depression took me over until I
found Caminar. Then I started getting out of the house and started
working with people who understood.”
To Sheri’s clients, she not only provides practical support in their
professional life, but emotional support because of her story. Sheri
knows firsthand the misleading stigma people with disabilities face.
“Without the dedicated Caminar staff a lot of people with mental
illness would still be sitting on the couch just dreaming about
working and leading self-sufficient lives.”
“They know I’ve lived it,” Sheri said. “The services are tailored
to give clients the support they really need, because they know we
understand.” Instead of being “stigmatized” or different, the acceptance
and mutual understanding is communicated and built. They know I am
there for them- just like Caminar has been there for me.

Stocks edge higher
By Stephen Bernard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Stocks posted meager
gains Wednesday as traders remained
cautious ahead of a global economic
summit where the U.S. is likely to face
pushback from other nations over its
economic stimulus plan.
Major indexes were down for much of
the day but managed to edge higher by
late afternoon. A report showing a sharp
decline in first-time claims for unem-
ployment benefits helped support stock
prices. A jump in oil prices lifted shares
of energy companies including Chevron
Corp. and ConocoPhillips.
An announcement from the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York detailing the
Fed’s plans for its upcoming bond-pur-
chasing program helped bring stock
indexes somewhat higher in the mid-
afternoon. The Fed’s program,
announced last week, is aimed at encour-
aging borrowing and spending by keep-
ing interest rates low.

Obama to leaders:Help fix economy
By Ben Feller
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEOUL, South Korea — Under
worldwide pressure, President Barack
Obama told global leaders Wednesday
the burden is on them as well as the
U.S. to fix trade-stifling imbalances
and currency disputes that imperil eco-
nomic recoveries everywhere. The
president promised the United States
would do its part but declared “the
world is looking to us to work togeth-
er.”
On the eve of an economic summit,
Obama landed in Seoul hoping to close
an elusive trade deal with South Korea,
the kind that could potentially mean
jobs and markets for frustrated busi-
nesses and workers back home. Yet the
deal was still in the balance in the last
hours, slowed by U.S. demands over
South Korea’s auto trade and its market
for American beef.
Obama was also to make his eco-
nomic case directly to Chinese
President Hu Jintao after lavishing
attention on China’s rising rival, India,
for three days. The U.S. and China
enjoy an economic partnership but con-
tinue to clash over currency, with the
U.S. contending that China’s underval-
ued yuan gives it an unfair edge in the
flow of exports and imports.
The U.S. president made the point
again in a letter to fellow leaders gath-
ered here for the G-20 summit of estab-
lished and emerging economies.

Obama has become a familiar face at

midterm election that will give much

Republican Party.
Obama’s message is that the United
States cannot be the world’s consumer,
propping up others by borrowing and
spending. He is pitching for a balanced
recovery across the globe — tougher to
achieve when national interests collide.
“The foundation for a strong and
durable recovery will not materialize if
American households stop saving and
go back to spending based on borrow-
ing,” the president wrote.

Renault gets green light to call its car ‘Zoe’
PARIS — It could be the French version of “A Boy Named
Sue” — a car named Zoe.
A judge ruled Wednesday that the automaker Renault can
call its new electric car Zoe, much to the chagrin of some
French women and girls with that first name.
Parents of two children named Zoe Renault had argued in
court that their children could end up enduring a lifetime of
teasing and annoyance — just like the fictional youth named
Sue in the famous Johnny Cash song.
The families, who are not related to the car company, want-
ed Renault to choose another name for the model.
“There’s a line between living things and inanimate objects,
and that line is defined by the first name,” lawyer David Koubbi
told the Associated Press in an interview. “We’re telling
Renault one very simple thing: First names are for humans.”
Official: Deal struck to keep al-Maliki as Iraq PM
BAGHDAD — An official in a Sunni-backed coalition bat-

says the bloc has agreed to a deal that
would see al-Maliki, a Shiite, stay on for
another term.
The deal ends more than eight months
of political wrangling since the March 7
election, in which no bloc won a majority
of parliament seats.
The official spoke on condition of
anonymity because of the sensitivity of Nouri al-Maliki
the issue.

The concrete passageway leading to the hospital is filled

ever in the Caribbean nation, the waterborne sickness has
claimed at least 643 lives, mostly in the countryside.

Scots trample Gilroy
By Josh Koehn
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Gilroy High made an awfully long drive
Wednesday night to serve as merely a speed
bump in Carlmont’s path to a rematch with
Salinas, the team that knocked the Scots out of
last year’s Central Coast Section girls volley-
ball semifinals on the way to an eventual
championship.
The 12th-seeded Mustangs were sent home
in short order, as the contest lasted less than an
hour for a 25-16, 25-8, 25-13 Scots victory.
Spreading the ball evenly among attackers
on the outside, as well as up the middle,
Carlmont had only one player, junior Shelby
Vance, surpass six kills. Vance finished the
contest with 14 kills and three blocks, and
afterwards she said the contest had less to do
with any game plan Gilroy (15-13) could
implement and more to do with the Scots sim-
ply executing.
“We didn’t expect them to hand it to us, so
we just came out and played our game,” Vance
said.
Scots coach Cindy Wolf said that has been
the motto for her fifth-seeded team, which
improved to 20-13 with the win.
“That’s been our goal all season — to play
our game and keep our focus no matter what’s
happening on the other side of the net,” she
said. “As long as the girls go out and play their
game, we’ll be fine.”
Aside from Vance’s dominating perform-
ance at the net, the Scots’ contributions could-
n’t have been distributed more evenly. Senior
Shannon Garrett, who splits time as a setter
and outside hitter, had six kills, Torika
Ramulo had five kills, Haley Akchurin pitched
in five kills and Ashley Duba had two kills to
go with five aces.
Carlmont never trailed by more than one
throughout the three games and never after
tying the second and third set at 2-all.
In the first game, the Scots pulled ahead 4-0
and stretched that lead to15-5 before the
Mustangs mounted a small comeback to pull
within six, 20-14. Trading points the rest of
the way, Carlmont closed out the game on a

No more
tie games
A
s I was watching the time tick
down during a 28-28 game
between Sequoia and Hillsdale
last Friday night, I was stuck by the fact
there wasn’t a whole lot of head-hanging
from the Hillsdale coaching staff. After all,
the Knights had watched a 28-6 lead evap-
orate and although they had one last shot
— albeit a long one — with three seconds
left, the coaching staff was upbeat.
What’s going on?
Who could be satis-
fied with a tie?
As the final sec-
onds ran off the
clock, I walked onto
the field in anticipa-
tion of conducting
interviews and watch-
ing the post-game
handshake. Neither
team lined up at the
50-yard line, howev-
er, and as I looked
around to figure out
what was going on, I noticed the Hillsdale
players huddling up and coaches talking to
them. I then noticed the referees huddling
near midfield and it finally occurred to me:
everyone was preparing for overtime.
For the first time in the 10 years I’ve
covered Peninsula Athletic League football,
the league finally implemented the national
federation overtime rule: teams alternate
possession at the 10-yard line and have
four plays to score. The teams take turns
until one scores and the other doesn’t.
“We voted at the start of the year to go to
the federation rule,” said PAL
Commissioner Terry Stogner. “There are
no ties. We (the PAL) win or lose on the
field.”
It only makes sense as no one likes to
miss out on the playoffs because of some
lame tiebreaker if two teams are even atop
the standings. While ties may not necessar-
ily affect the Bay Division — four of the
six teams make the Central Coast Section

Troy Smith is 49ers’starting QB — for now
By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANTA CLARA — Troy Smith
has never much cared what people
thought of his size, shaking off
those skeptics who called him too
small to be an NFL quarterback.
Not that much different, really,
from 49ers coach Mike Singletary
during his days as a Hall of Fame
middle linebacker — at all of 6 feet
tall.
“What you guys are going to say
is I’ve got a prototypical sports-
writer or media person (build) — 6-
foot, handsome,” Smith joked. “I
totally understand to a certain extent
what is quote, unquote expected at
the position. Players are players and

there’s nothing you can do about it.
You’ve just got to line up and lace

Parity hurting Pac-10’s bowl chances
By John Marshall
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHOENIX — Except for Oregon
at the top and Washington State at
the bottom, the Pac-10 has played
out just like its coaches predicted, a
win-one, lose-one trade off by
teams unable distinguish them-
selves from one another.
But this year of parity could hurt
the conference at the box office. All
this beating up on each other could
Smith to play
another posi-
tion?
“If they did, I
shut them down
real fast,” he
said.
Smith is now
getting his shot
Troy Smith as the starting
quarterback for
the San Francisco 49ers — at least,
it appears, through this weekend.
There’s a slim chance the plan could
change in the next few days if Alex
Smith is healthy enough to go by
Sunday’s game with St. Louis.
That seems like a longshot. He
hasn’t even been cleared medically.
Singletary said Troy Smith would
take all the snaps with the first-team
offense in practice, though he didn’t
rule out Alex Smith taking back his
old job if his separated, non-throw-
ing left shoulder has improved
enough to play against the Rams.
Alex Smith was injured in a loss at
leave the Pac-10 with a potentially
grim bowl picture.
Certainly, Oregon playing for a
national championship would give
the conference its chest-thumping
moment. After that, though, the Pac-
10 is facing a longshot to fill its six-
bowl allotment and might have just
four teams playing in the postsea-
son.
And, if things play out right — or
is it wrong? — the conference’s sec-
ond-best team, Stanford, could end
SPORTS
Carolina on Oct. 24.
“If Alex were healthy, I think
right now he’d still be the quarter-
back,” Singletary said. “He threw a
little bit the other day but we just
have to be smart about him as well.
Alex is smart enough to know that
the worst thing he can do is go out
there and play with a hurt shoulder
and worsen the injury.”
Troy Smith rallied the Niners to a
24-16 win over the Broncos in
London on Oct. 31 — and the team
certainly wants to see if he can do it
again. San Francisco (2-6) is com-
ing off its bye week having won two
of three games following a surpris-
ing 0-5 start. A little momentum for
a team that is still in contention in
the mediocre NFC West it was
picked to win before the season
began.
Troy Smith ran for a late touch-
down against Denver and hit
Michael Crabtree on a 28-yard TD
with 7:23 left. Frank Gore added
another TD on a 3-yard run with
up playing in the lower-tier Alamo
Bowl instead of the more lucrative
Rose Bowl.
“The biggest thing is that it’s
close,” Oregon State coach Mike
Riley said. “I’ve felt that every
game is like the Super Bowl and
we’ve just beat each other up.”
Stanford figures to lose the most
from this season of counterpunch-
ing.
The seventh-ranked Cardinal (8-
1, 5-1) have clearly been the sec-
3:47 remaining.
Smith, the 2006 Heisman Trophy
winner from Ohio State, was 12 for
19 for 196 yards after a slow start.
Singletary is confident he knows
enough of the playbook to lead the
Niners. The 49ers faxed study mate-
rials to his home in Cleveland last
week when players were off.
Singletary doesn’t care that Smith
is just 6-foot and 217 pounds, small
by NFL quarterback standards.
“I put it this way: You look at
Michael Vick, he’s not the ideal size
of a quarterback. You look at Drew
Brees and he’s not the ideal size of a
quarterback,” Singletary said. “To
me, I’m the last guy that’s going to
look at somebody’s size.”
Alex Smith, the 2005 No. 1 over-
all draft pick out of Utah, has com-
pleted 143 of 242 passes for 1,554
yards and nine touchdowns with
nine interceptions and 13 sacks. He
has a subpar 75.0 quarterback rat-
ing.
Smith doubts he will be ready by
ond-best team in the Pac-10,
arguably the best one-loss team in
the country.
But because of their loss to
Oregon in Eugene, the Cardinal
would need Oregon to lose two of
its final three games to win the Pac-
10. The way the Ducks have steam-
rolled opponents, losing even once
doesn’t seem all that likely, and that
would certainly knock Stanford out
of the Rose Bowl.
Any other year, Stanford would

days.
“As far as functioning goes, I
think I could go out and run around
and throw,” he said. “I think the
other part of the function is putting
the shoulder pads on and being able
to sustain hits and staying out
there.”
While both quarterbacks named
Smith hope to be the guy down the
stretch for San Francisco, it’s
unclear who ultimately will be
behind center after Sunday. If Troy
Smith flops, it will likely be Alex
Smith again. If Troy Smith shines,
Singletary will have a tough choice
on his hands.
Troy Smith is focused only on
preparing himself for this week,
unsure about the future.

You tell me,” he said of his starting

Rose Bowl if the Ducks get to the
national championship game.
Problem is, the Rose Bowl is obli-
gated to take a non-automatic quali-
fying conference team if one makes

leaves the Cardinal needing No. 3

Yankees begin courtship of Cliff Lee
By Ronald Blum
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Yankees general
manager Brian Cashman has trav-
eled to Arkansas to meet with free-
agent pitcher Cliff Lee.
Cashman was invited Tuesday by
Lee’s agent, Darek Brauneker, to
meet with the 32-year-old left-han-
shortstop Troy Tulowitzki and out-
fielder Carlos Gonzalez joined
Arroyo as first-time winners.
“It was definitely a shock,”
Arroyo said. “Honestly, it never
even crossed my mind once
throughout my entire career.”
Cardinals first baseman Albert
Pujols won for the second time
(2006), and speedy Houston center
fielder Michael Bourn was a repeat
winner.
“Michael’s second Gold Glove
comes as no surprise to anyone who
has watched him play,” Astros gen-
eral manager Ed Wade said. “You
see the ball leave the bat, and you
say, ’No way that one gets caught,’
and then Michael runs it down.
Some guys make plays look tougher
than they are. Michael makes the
impossible catch look routine. It’s
nice to see his hard work get recog-
nized.”

Warriors hang on to beat Knicks

By Brian Mahoney
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — David Lee scored a season-
high 28 points in his return to New York, Dorell
Wright made two huge baskets in the final two
minutes, and the Golden State Warriors
improved their best start in 16 years to 6-2 by
beating the Knicks 122-117 on Wednesday night.
Stephen Curry added 25 points and Monta
Ellis had 22 for the Warriors, who blew a 19-
point lead in the second half but were bailed out
by Wright, who hit the go-ahead 3-pointer with
1:58 remaining and added an insurance basket a
minute later.
Warriors 122, Knicks 117
Lee grabbed his 10th
rebound after Wilson
Chandler missed a tying 3-
point attempt and sank two
clinching free throws with
1.5 seconds left, and the
longtime fan favorite later
jogged off to cheers after
completing some postgame
interviews on the court.
David Lee
Amare Stoudemire, who
essentially replaced Lee over the summer, had a
season-high 33 points for the Knicks, who lost
their third straight. Chandler added 27 and
Raymond Felton scored 20.
Lee’s three-point play ignited a big Golden
State run in the third quarter, and another basket
started a second key spurt when the Knicks cut it
to three early in the fourth. Things looked settled
at that point, but New York took a 113-111 lead
on Felton’s free throws with 2:11 remaining.
Wright then drilled his 3-pointer, and recov-
ered a loose ball after Chandler’s block and put it
back in for a 116-113 edge with 59 seconds left.
A free throw by Lee gave the Warriors’ a two-
score advantage, but the Knicks were back with-
in one when Stoudemire nailed a 3 with 14 sec-
onds to play before the Warriors closed it out
from the line.
It’s Golden State’s best start since opening 7-2
in 1994-95.
Lee was a late first-round pick in 2005 who got
better every year, becoming an All-Star last sea-
son when he averaged 20.9 points and 11.7
rebounds. But the Knicks were looking for some-
thing more last summer, hoping they could land
two superstars from the free agency class.
Re-signing Lee would have jeopardized that,
so Lee said he realized by the end of the season
that he would probably be moving on. The
Knicks at least helped him get richer, arranging a
sign-and-trade with the Warriors that allowed
him to earn a more lucrative contract that will
pay him $80 million over six years.

A’s deal pitcher Mazzaro to Royals for OF DeJesus

By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAKLAND — The Athletics boosted their offense and added
a reliable outfielder Wednesday, acquiring David DeJesus from
the Kansas City Royals for right-hander Vin Mazzaro and minor
league lefty Justin Marks.
One of Oakland general manager Billy Beane’s priorities this
offseason was to find a capable hitter who could help the A’s score
more for their talented pitching staff. DeJesus, who can play all
three outfield positions, batted .318 with five homers and 37 RBIs
in 91 games with Kansas City this year. He was sidelined for the
final two months following right thumb surgery.
Mazzaro had three stints with the A’s in 2010. He was sent
down to Triple-A Sacramento on Sept. 10 only to be called back
up four days later. Oakland already has solid, proven starters in
Brett Anderson, Dallas Braden, Trevor Cahill and Gio Gonzalez.
Ben Sheets, signed to a $10 million, one-year deal before last sea-

Left-hander Josh Outman, who missed last year recovering
from Tommy John surgery, also could be an option to start. He
made a good impression in the instructional league this fall.
The A’s stayed in the division chase until late in the season —
losing out to the AL champion Texas Rangers — and finished 81-
81 for second place in the AL West. That was despite using the
disabled list 23 times, two shy of the franchise record set in 2008.

“They’re a pretty big group and

Gilroy coach Josh Curioso said.
“Their passing was good and their
setting was phenomenal. It was an
extra game for us. We weren’t
expecting to be here (in CCS), but
we gave it our best.”
Knowing that Salinas is next on

Cowboys knocked Carlmont out of
the playoffs in a match that went
five sets: 25-23, 25-16, 23-25, 17-

season, the second-seeded Matadors (17-4)
beat Burlingame 5-2.
Complicating matters somewhat is Monta
Vista coach Gene Fortino, who serves as a
club coach to the Panthers’ top four singles
players as part of the Blossom Hill Aces. If
anybody can give his players tips on
Burlingame’s strengths and weaknesses, it
will be Fortino.
But according to Burlingame’s No. 4 sin-
gles player, Lauren Sinatra, who won the final
match of the day Wednesday 7-5, 7-5 over
RLS’s Alexandra Mezentsev, the Panthers are
just starting to find their way at this late point
in the season.
“I don’t think we’ve played to our team’s
potential yet,” Sinatra said.
Burlingame took both the No. 2 and 3 dou-
bles matches Wednesday, which were the
same matches the Panthers won against
Monta Vista. The No. 2 pairing of Uma
Murphy and Justine Huang won their draw
against the RLS combo of Sydney Sharek and
Kristen Smith 6-3, 6-4, while Burlingame’s
Natalie Fregosi and Marci Cohn beat the
Pirates’ Alexis Thomas and Sarah Lenman 7-
5, 6-2.
Burlingame No. 2 singles player Polina
Davidenko won possibly the day’s closest
match over Logan Finnell 6-4, 7-6 (2), while
Panthers No. 3 singles player Alex Harrigan
rolled in the most dominant draw of the day 6-
1, 6-0 over Emily Termotto.
“It went how I hoped it would go, but I
couldn’t foresee it going this way,” said
Burlingame coach Bill Smith. He added that
the two teams were near equal in talent and
home-court advantage might have helped the
Panthers more than expected.
“I think (being at home) does make a differ-
ence. Sightlines are a big thing because when
you toss the ball — the tree line, your periph-

eral vision — people don’t realize how impor-
tant that stuff is,” Smith said.
The lone victory for the Pirates came from
the No. 1 doubles pairing of Clara Posner and
Hayley Bluhm, who remained undefeated on
the season by beating Monica Patel and Merry
Grace Chambers 6-4, 6-2.
“(Posner and Bluhm) like to play together
and they really compliment each other,” RLS
coach Wendy Grover said. “It’s tough up here
(in CCS). The competition is extreme, but my
girls love it.”
For Tsu, who has faced Monta Vista’s No. 1
singles player Sylivia Li twice and lost both
times, a victory Friday could put Burlingame
on track for one of the bigger upsets to come
out of the postseason this year. The key will
be starting strong, Tsu said.
“Just better footwork in the beginning and
start off hitting the ground running,” she said.
Of course, if Tsu does start slow, there is
something to be said for torture on the way to
a title.

Preserve your produce
to enjoy it year round
By Colleen Newvine
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
It’s easy to do — you get excited about
spring planting and put in twice as many
tomato plants as your family can keep up
with. Or you go to a farmers market, get
seduced by the scent of ripe peaches and buy
several pounds, with the clock ticking on their
freshness.
Intentionally or not, many people find them-
selves awash in fresh produce this time of
year. Learning to preserve that bounty can
mean enjoying fruits and vegetables — ones
whose origins and additives you know — year
round.
Bob McClure grew up pickling and canning
with his parents and grandparents, putting up
fresh produce every summer. He and his
brother, Joe McClure, decided to turn pro
about four years ago, launching McClure’s
Pickles in Brooklyn, N.Y., and Detroit.
Though the scale is much larger, the hand-
packed, hand-sliced pickles are still based on
their great-grandmother’s recipe, and the
ingredients include just cucumbers, vinegar,
water, salt, garlic and dill.
Bob McClure teaches pickling classes at the
Brooklyn Kitchen, a cooking supplies store.
Drawing on his other career as an actor, he is
engaging in front of a room of pickle novices,
and can make sterilizing jars and lids, then
boiling them to seal in the contents, seem
easy.
Some of his pickling tips:
• Trim all your cucumbers to the same
length, just a bit shorter than your jars, so they
fit easily without smashing. Use the trimmings
to pack into available spaces.
• Pour some hot vinegar over your fresh gar-
lic for a minute before putting it into the jars.
This helps keep the garlic from turning blue.
• Experiment with spices, such as adding
more dill or hot peppers, but maintain the pro-

portions of vinegar, salt and water to keep
food safe.
• Keep cucumbers on ice until packing them
in jars. This helps them stay crisp.
Pickling is just one method of preserving
food, and canning is another. Sometimes they
go together, but they don’t have to. Other
options including drying or salting, all with
the idea of keeping food safe longer than it
naturally would on the shelf or in the fridge.
Food writer Mark Bittman says people
intimidated by the equipment and techniques
of canning should try alternative methods of
preserving fresh, local, additive-free produce:
“Canning and jarring is a huge hassle,” he
says. “There was a time when people had no
choice. Now we have freezers.”
His own method: He chops fresh tomatoes,
puts them in plastic bags and throws them in
the freezer. When they thaw, the skins fall off.
Bittman is a New York Times columnist
whose latest book is “The Food Matters
Cookbook” (Simon & Schuster, 2010). As an
advocate of eating less processed food,
Bittman says, “If people have gardens and
they want to preserve stuff, I think it’s fabu-
lous.”
Linda Ziedrich, author of “The Joy of
Pickling” (Harvard Common Press, revised
edition 2009) and “The Joy of Jams, Jellies
and Other Sweet Preserves” (same press and
year), agrees you don’t have to can to pre-
serve.
“You can can your pickled foods but you
don’t have to,” she said. Her pickling book
includes recipes for two basic kinds of pick-
ling, done with vinegar or fermented, and with
or without traditional glass-jar canning.
Ziedrich said recent incidents of tainted
eggs and spinach in the national food supply
have some people worried about the safety of
home canning. The risks at home are minimal
if you follow a recipe from a respected source
and use common sense, she said, but skipping

Tweaking tradition at Thanksgiving
By Kim Cook
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
For much of America, Thanksgiving is one
celebration not to be messed with.
Those who try to jettison the candied yams
or who forget grandma’s gravy boat might
have the family to answer to. And if it’s been
a chrysanthemum centerpiece since your hus-
band was a baby, it may be difficult to try
something new.
But for some — young people setting up
their own homes, empty nesters and many
folks in-between — the same old same old is
just that. They’d like to tweak tradition and
mark the holiday in new ways.
If you’re looking for stylish ways to update
the table, you don’t have to spend a lot. It’s
more a matter of color, and changing up a few
elements.
“Choose a palette of one or two colors —
brown, orange or pale yellow will go with
existing neutrals,” says Jenn Aaronson,
Martha Stewart Living’s food and entertaining
editorial director. “Tablecloths aren’t always
necessary; dress your table with cloth napkins
and even paper cut outs. Simple branches or
single color floral arrangements always look
modern.”

Painted or natural gourds mixed with modern
pottery can be filled with pine cones or nuts;
them in the refrigerator instead of on the shelf.
For those who do want to try canning, both
McClure and Ziedrich suggest taking a class
to get started.
Also helpful for the newbie is a trustworthy
source of tested recipes. McClure recommends
Ziedrich’s book; Ziedrich additionally points to
county extension service publications and web-
sites. The “Ball Complete Book of Home

suppliers of home food preservation supplies.

Like McClure, Ziedrich grew up canning
with her mother, but it was after she started
doing it on her own that the bug really bit her
— she started exploring all manner of pickled
and fermented foods, from sauerkraut to kim-
chee to dilly beans, and learned to make jams
without adding commercial pectin.
McClure’s Garlic and Dill Pickles
Makes 12 half pints or 6 pints
Ingredients:
6 lbs small pickling cucumbers
12 cloves of garlic (peeled and halved)
1-2 bunches of dill
3 cups of water
3 cups of distilled white vinegar
1/4 cup of pickling salt (kosher salt can be
substituted)
Wash cucumbers, and place in a large deep
bowl with ice. Cover and put in fridge.
Wash dill thoroughly and trim off roots.
Place peeled garlic in a small bowl and pour
hot vinegar over it. Let stand for 1 minute,
then pour vinegar out.
Fill a large pot with water. Place a jar in the
pot and make sure the water is at least 1 inch
above the top of the jar. Remove the test jar
and bring the water to a boil.

More easy, inexpensive ideas include using
pears and seed pods for place card holders,
leaf-shaped felt cutouts as mats and runners,
and colorful Indian-corn husks as wrappers
for glass votive holders.
Erinn Valencich, blogger for HGTV.com’s
Design Happens, likes to experiment with col-
ors. “Last year I chose chocolate and laven-
der,” she says. “A beautiful set of gold
rimmed dinnerware and gold accents on the
votive holders gave the table an elegant, mod-
ern look.”
Burlap, cafe colors and white dinnerware
are another option. “Have fun with materials;
contrast ceramic with glass, wood and gleam-
ing metal,” Valencich says. “Forgo the old
standby tablecloth and opt for glamorous, pol-
ished silver chargers and chocolate-brown
linen napkins.”
She also likes aubergine, fuchsia and deep
purple layered with gold accents, “and a large,
from-the-market centerpiece of black cham-
pagne grapes, artichokes and eggplant. All
deep fall colors that set a gorgeous, modern

water and pickling salt. Bring the brine to a
rapid boil. Stir the salt to make sure it doesn’t
stick to bottom of pot.
While pots are getting up to a boil, take
cucumbers out of the refrigerator and quarter
them. Then take 1 spear and place it in a
Mason jar to test its height. Make sure it
stands 1/4 to 1/2 inch below the rim of the
jar. Trim all the cucumbers to this size. (Keep
the little bits for later.)
After water is boiling, submerge the Mason
jars for about 90 seconds to sterilize them.
Remove them carefully with jar tongs.
In each jar, place 2 halves of a garlic clove,
one small handful of dill, then enough cucum-
bers to fill the jar, making sure cucumbers are
below the “neckline.” (If using pint jars, dou-
ble the amount of dry ingredients in each jar.)
Place 2-piece lids in boiling water for 90 sec-
onds, then carefully remove them and place in
a bowl.
Fill jars with hot brine.
Cap and seal the jars. Turn them over to
make sure you have an adequate seal.
Place jars back in boiling water. Process the
sealed jars in boiling water for 10 minutes.
Wait a week to two weeks before eating.
Refrigerate after opening. Pickles will keep
for up to one year if stored in a cool dry place.

Indoor blooms for the cold season
By Sean Conway
TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES
Gardening and horticulture are
about planning ahead. Once I see
pumpkins showing up on doorsteps I
know it is time to start planting
Paperwhite bulbs. If planted now,
these sweetly fragrant, easy-to-grow
bulbs will be in bloom in time for
Thanksgiving.
Native to the Mediterranean,
Paperwhite Narcissus (Narcissus
papyraceus) bulbs are closely relat-
ed to daffodils but cannot tolerate
freezing temperatures. Although not
hardy for growing outdoors in cold-
er regions of the country,
Paperwhites are popular as both cut
flowers and seasonal houseplants.
One of the easiest bulbs to force
into bloom, Paperwhites do not need
a period of cooling while their roots
form the way spring blooming bulbs
do. They also are not fussy about
where they spread their roots. They
can be grown in a shallow bowl of
pebbles as easily as in potting soil.
The bulb contains all the energy it
needs to flower and therefore does
not need to be fertilized while it is
growing. Its only requirements are
water and light.
In the early fall, Paperwhites will
bloom about four to six weeks after
planting. As the season progresses
the time from planting to blooming
will decrease because the flowers
within the bulbs are continually
developing as the bulb ages. Bulbs
planted in December will on average
take only two to three weeks to
come into flower.
Bulbs can be purchased at most
garden centers or can be ordered
online. Be sure to store your bulbs in
a cool, dark space until you are
ready to plant them.
Begin by choosing your container.
I prefer to use shallow pots with
holes in the bottom since I pot my
bulbs in potting soil, but you can use
containers without holes just as suc-
cessfully by substituting pebbles for
soil.
If you decide to use potting soil
for your bulbs, begin by filling your
container two-thirds from the top
with soil. Place the bulbs flat side
down on top of the soil, with their
tips up. Don’t worry if the tips are
curving downward or outward, they
will self-correct when the bulb
begins to grow. Pack the bulbs into
the pot tightly so that the sides of the
bulbs are touching.
Next, cover the bulbs up to the
SUBURBAN LIVING Thursday • Nov. 11, 2010 21
growing tip with gravel, stones, mar-
ble chips, or tumbled glass. This helps
hold the bulbs in place, keeps soil
from spilling when watering, and
helps retain necessary moisture
around the roots. The material you
use on top of the soil can be whatever
you like, but be sure it is clean and
free from contaminants. I use gravel
from my driveway, but I have also
used colored marbles for holiday pots.
Now water your pots well and set
them in a cool but sunny location.
Check periodically to make sure the
soil does not dry out. The bulbs
should show signs of growth in a
few weeks.
If you choose not to use a contain-
er with drainage holes, fill your con-
tainer almost to the top with crushed
stones, pebbles or marbles, and bury
the bulbs flat side down, leaving two
thirds of the bulb above the surface.
Put water in the container, but be
sure the bulbs stay above the water
or they will rot. Once roots begin to
form on the bulbs, they will grow
down into the moist stones.
Once in bloom, paperwhites
grown indoors will stay in flower for
about a week to 10 days, depending
on the temperature of the room they
are kept in. A warm room will short-
en the bloom time, and a cool room
will extend it. If you plant bulbs in
one to two week intervals, you can
enjoy them in your home for Narcissus (Narcissus papyraceus), a signature flower of the cold season,

“I think it’s really an important time for all
of us to really reflect on the sacrifices that the
military have made,” said Cynthia Erickson.
“There was a ... poll out about the military
being one of the most trusted and admired
groups in the country. And I think that’s true;
I think we all owe them a real debt of grati-
tude. They’re just ordinary people who have
really given back to the country. They’re owed
thanks for that.”
Her son is one of those ordinary people.
Justin Erickson grew up in Foster City orig-
inally dreaming of being a pilot. A challenge
with his eyesight changed those plans, but he
remained active in the community through
soccer, becoming an Eagle Scout and heading
up the San Mateo High School Quiz Kids
team.
Erickson attended the University of
California at Santa Barbara where he concur-
rently completed the Army Reserve Officers’
Training Corps. Erickson was commissioned
as an officer June 14, 2005, a day after earn-

Although switching to a reserve post,

the time.

er guy,” he recalled, noting he assumed that
would limit his access to action. Erickson was
wrong,
It was during this tour that Erickson pur-
chased two U.S. flags which were then flown
over the base where he was stationed.
Erickson’s second tour of Iraq was differ-
ent. He returned last year in a civil affairs
position allowing him to work with people
and local government to rebuild and recon-
struct the infrastructure in the area.
Working with locals meant relying on a
team of interpreters who didn’t always agree
on the meaning of a word. Challenges aside,
Erickson left happily having been part of a
team that negotiated the rebuilding of a school
which had been partially blown up by terror-
ists in 2005 — days before the brand-new
building was set to welcome students.
Erickson is now stateside, with just more
than two years left in his reservist commit-
ment.
“I miss the feeling like I’m accomplishing
something every day. It was exhausting. I did-
n’t get a whole lot of sleep. Sometimes I did-
n’t get a chance to shower,” he said, adding
the people he met made it worthwhile.
He’s joined thousands of others in the job
hunt but feels prepared for challenges given
his experience. And he’s thankful for the
appreciation with which locals have wel-
comed him back.

for Yee’s seat.
Hill and Ma were both re-elected to
their Assembly seats last week with
landslide victories but Nevin has not
been active in politics since losing his
Senate bid.
“I would not say I would not run but
I’m not leaning toward it now,” Nevin
said yesterday. “There are probably
some other strong candidates interest-
ed.”
Nevin was critical of Yee, however, for
spending big money on television ads in
a Senate race for which he was a shoo-in
and then announcing a run for mayor a
week later.

been considered for more than 40 years
and has been endorsed by U.S. Sen.
Dianne Feinstein and other elected offi-
cials in the past.
But the idea has always been rejected
because of environmental and cost con-
siderations.

the Metropolitan Transportation

Continued from page 3
Cray was signed in 1982 by Mercy
Records. His third album, “Strong
Persuader,” earned a Grammy and
included “Smoking Gun,” broadening
Cray’s audience. Since then, Cray has
opened for and played with major stars
like Eric Clapton and John Lee Hooker.
“This has put a bitter taste in my
mouth. He is self-serving. If he wants to
be senator, then he should stay senator,”
Nevin said.
Hill had intended to run for the
District 8 Senate seat in 2014.
“My intentions are to run for re-elec-
tion in 2012 and then for Senate in 2014.
If circumstances change, I will re-evalu-
ate the situation at that time,” Hill said
yesterday.
Ma won her re-election bid last week
with more than 80 percent of the vote.
“My focus is on representing the con-
stituents of the 12th Assembly District.
If a future opportunity presents itself, I
will consider it at that time,” Ma said.
While Yee is still in the state Senate,
however, he said he will continue to
stand up for San Bruno residents affect-
ed by the Sept. 9 Pacific Gas and Electric
gas line explosion and will look at ways
Commission, the toll authority’s sister
agency, noted in a memo to oversight
committee members that the most recent
studies about building a new span were
conducted in 1991 and 2002, but he
believes “enough time has passed since
the last study to take a fresh look at the
need and opportunities between the East
Bay and the San Francisco Peninsula.”
Heminger said the 2002 study looked
at some low-cost options for improving
travel across the Bay as well as high-cost
options such as a new toll bridge, a new
BART tunnel and a new rail tunnel.
“The study found critical mass lacking
in both travel demand and political sup-
His success was recognized by others as
well. Fender offers two Robert Cray
Stratocaster models. And the enjoyment
of performing has never waned for Cray.
“It’s still fun. I still have a blast. With
all the travel and everything we do, the
most important part of the day is when
you get onto stage. And that to me is still
a whole lot of fun,” he said.
Cray’s musical success has offered
other opportunities as well, like appear-
ing in and creating music for movies.
After a show in the ’70s, Cray was

to keep events safe at the Cow Palace,
where drug overdoses and even deaths
have tarnished events at the facility in
the past year.
Yesterday, though, Yee’s concentration
was clearly set on San Francisco.
“As someone who grew up in San
Francisco, attended public schools,
raised a family and has been serving this
city for over 20 years, I am excited about
starting this new discussion,” Yee said. “I
look forward to talking with voters from
throughout the city about my record of
getting things done and fighting for kids,
working families and greater govern-
ment transparency.”

Herrera, San Francisco Supervisor

AECOM, a Los Angeles-based profes-
sional technical and management sup-
port services company, will conduct a
six-month study to assess whether cir-
cumstances have changed enough to
warrant a full-fledged analysis for a new
bridge.
If it’s decided that an in-depth analysis
is justified, a second study would take up
to another 18 months.
Funding for the studies will come
from revenues on the Bay Area’s seven
state-owned toll bridges that are set
aside for bridge rehabilitation work.

Thursday, Nov. 11, 2010
You’re likely to get an opportunity to put together some kind
of partnership arrangement that will have a chance of making
all previous joint endeavors pale in comparison. If you can
make the most of it, it could fulfill your aspirations.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - Brushing your responsibilities
aside, thinking that you’ll take care of them later is likely to
be a mistake. Even if you work at an accelerated pace, you’re
not likely to make up for lost time.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - Be complimentary if
someone does something worthy of praise, even if this person
never applauds anybody else’s work. It actually might shame
him/her into doing so in the future.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Set aside the corny jokes
and small talk in your business dealings. This is one of those
days when it will be much better to get straight to the point
and down to the purpose at hand.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - You’re likely to be pegged
as being a phony if you try to use flattery in order to gain
acceptance. Being forthright and upfront about your purposes
will gain far more respect.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - Do your best to keep a nosy
friend out of your affairs, even if you suspect that this time s/
he is just trying to be helpful. It’s more likely that this person
will cause complications that you don’t need.
person for who s/he is, or find a new pal. Chances are you
wouldn’t like who s/he becomes.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - Friends won’t take kindly to
you trying to take total credit for something they collectively
brought about. Honesty is not only highly desirable but also
far more becoming than bragging.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - Don’t let the behavior of one
individual take all the fun out of an involvement with friends.
Put plenty of space between you and this person, relax and
have a good time.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) - Be careful not to allow
yourself to change your mind in order to please someone,
especially if you know your evaluation is based on experience
while his/hers isn’t.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - Do not treat small, insignificant
details with distain when putting together a critical agreement
with another. It’s usually these bits and pieces that become
all important with time.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - If you’re smart, you’ll keep your
mind on what is important and forgo wasting time on frivolous
activities that are more likely to cost you money than make
any. Work first, play later.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - Relax, let your hair down and
enjoy yourself in your spare time, but don’t do so at the Sudoku
expense of allowing overindulgence gain the upper hand.

U.K.police suggest Yemen bomb disarmed accidentally
By Sylvia Hui
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — British police released new
details Wednesday about their discovery of a
mail bomb bound from Yemen for the United
States, suggesting they might have disarmed
the bomb accidentally rather than by design.
Police also said forensic evidence showed
the device was timed to be detonated six to
seven hours after the UPS cargo aircraft carry-
ing it left the U.K. — and that, had it not been
removed during transit in Britain, it could have
exploded over the East Coast of the U.S.
LOCAL/WORLD
That appeared at variance, however, with
flight date information showing the plane was
over Canada at that time.
In a statement, Scotland Yard said explosives
officers “disrupted” the explosive device dur-
ing their initial examination when they took the
printer cartridge — in which the bomb was
hidden — out of a printer.
Authorities on both sides of the Atlantic have
said they only narrowly thwarted last month’s
plot, in which terrorists in Yemen hid two pow-
erful bombs inside printers and shipped them
aboard cargo planes to addresses in Chicago.
The printer cartridges were filled with PETN,
an industrial explosive that, when X-rayed,
could resemble the cartridges’ ink powder.
The exact aim of the attack remains unclear,
but a senior U.S. official has said that evidence
pointed to a plot to blow up cargo planes inside
the U.S. — either on runways or over
American cities. In Washington, the White
House said the British finding showed how
serious the attack was.
But the new account raises questions about
what exactly happened during the first confus-
ing hours when authorities, alerted by intelli-
gence, searched for the bombs.
On that day, British police initially said they
Thursday • Nov. 11, 2010 31
found no explosives in the package that was
shipped from Yemen by way of Cologne,
Germany, and intercepted at central England’s
East Midlands Airport. They then lifted a secu-
rity cordon around the cargo depot building
where the package had been examined.
But hours later they put up the cordon again
to look further for explosives when it emerged
that a second mail bomb had been found in a
cargo that had landed in Dubai.
But in Wednesday’s statement, police said
they “disrupted” the bomb at about 0640GMT
(2:40 a.m. EDT) on Oct. 29 — before they
announced that they had found no explosives.

holes was definitely not the goal of the escape
drill. Instead, the plan was making sure a real
situation never again happened. Rather than
replicate the highly-publicized flight of Josue
Orozco, juvenile hall and probation officials
upped the ante with a hostage situation.
The crisis kicked off after 9 a.m. when two
wards — actually staff members posing as stu-
dents lumbering through calisthenics —
staged a fight on the field to distract from the
bigger assault happening inside the classrooms
to the left.
Code Orange, the call came.
The “students” were ordered to the ground
while a radio call went out for two more staff
members.
“That could be a problem,” said Larry Silver,
deputy chief probation officer, watching from
the dining room.
The request needed to be more specific:
what staff members or from what department.
Nineteen minutes passed before the search
team assembled in the dining room for a quick
briefing and to look at mug shots of possibly
missing students before heading toward the
classrooms.
Too long already, said YSC Director Roy
Brasil.
Door to door, the team assessed each class-
room and marked them with a strip of hot pink
duct tape to indicate it was clear. The same
method would be used with wards in their
rooms to speed up head count.
Inside the hallway, an injured teacher —
again, a staff member playing a role — was
hysterical.
In classroom six, an inmate might have been
holding a female teacher hostage behind a
screen in the corner. It was unclear and the
search team was taking no chances, even as she
yelled “Help me!” After she was finally freed,
the staff took the juvenile to the ground and
handcuffed him as he babbled about losing it
because the teacher didn’t let him have a phone
call. He was hauled to a unit to be isolated and
put on a seven-day program to earn back his
rights. He could also pick up another case,
although that was not the immediate concern.
The YSC currently has not hostage protocol,
another item highlighted by the exercise and
currently under way, according to Brasil.
A medical team arrived with a wheelchair to
cart the teacher down the hallway but there
was no rest for the response team. A kid was
outside the gym, in the so-called birdcage area
which is the completely fenced-in evacuation
area right outside its doors. He was pinned
inside, unable to open the doors back into the
gym.
If he wasn’t going anyway, should they pri-
oritize other possible situations? The question
would be posed post-drill along with other
observations from those both acting and
responding.
Shouldn’t every person have a radio? One
team of two split apart, leaving one without
contact.
What if there aren’t enough handcuffs or zip
ties? That same hot pink tape works well.
Maybe there should also be earpieces. Staff
needs to establish a perimeter. Nobody did a
head count of teachers which would have
helped assess if the woman being held was a
hostage taker, instead. Shouldn’t there be more
concern for the injured teachers than a simple
order to “calm down?” Consider putting first
access and having extra supplies like gloves on
hand when the search team first assembles.
Does the central command center need more
eyes? A final sweep of the school would erase
any lingering questions about whether the sit-
uation was finished.
Leon Kennon, the YSC institution services
manager, also had some impressions of the
drill. Slow down. The team was too fast with
the medical.
Kennon is specially trained in staging drills
and was pleased to see that some staff caught
up in the commotion weren’t part of the exer-
cise. Wards, walking in lines with their hands
behind their back, had no idea, either. A high
school exit exam was even inadvertently
scheduled for the same day. It made everything
more real.
While Wednesday’s drill tested the
Probation Department and YSC’s procedures,
the event also highlighted the participants’
ability to communicate. Unlike adult correc-
tional staff, employees at YSC are armed with
little more than their ability to talk a ward
down and diffuse a situation. Even pepper
spray, used in some counties, is unavailable to
encourage staff to use reasoning first, Brasil
said.
As a result — plus some changes like juve-
niles eating meals in their units rather than a
mixed-gender, mixed-gang affiliation dining
room — serious incidents like assaults and
legitimate suicide attempts are down. Where
there was once 65 events, the YSC is on track
for only 12 this year, Brasil said.
The drill, which officials say is the first of
several for the county’s juvenile correctional
facilities and camps, is the first since Orozco’s
unexpected escape Feb. 14, 2008 with the help
of two other wards. Orozco, arrested at age 14,
grabbed a low-hanging halogen light and
scaled a wall to freedom. Neither of two super-
visors in charge of his housing unit were
watching the trio play basketball. After the
escape, a series of foibles in assessing who
was missing gave Orozco a substantial head
start and he remained at large until his appre-
hension in Texas that September.
The escape drew sharp criticism about oper-
ations at the Paul Scannell Drive facility and a
trio of investigative reports offered up lists of
improvements.
More than two years later, Brasil is helming
the center and there’s been substantial person-
nel housekeeping. Mesh covers the basketball
court, the lights have been moved up and new
policies say only one ward generally at a time
can spend his daily exercise hours outside.
Many of the facility’s weak points didn’t
come to light until after the escape, according
to Silver and Chief Probation Officer Stuart
Forrest.
Unlike designers and staff, those spending
24/7 within its walls have nothing but time to
find the cracks and crevices in its veneer and to
figure out how it operates. Drills like the one
yesterday bring those Achilles’ heels to the
surface before something serious happens,
Brasil said.
He and Kennon will take what they learned
yesterday and assemble it into a final report.
Although the staff — whose experience
ranged from a few years to more than two
dozen — obviously care about their wards,
Brasil said there is always room for improve-
ment and reminders that security and rehabili-
tation aren’t mutually exclusive.
“You obviously pour yourself into these
kids,” Brasil told them. “But at the end of the
day, it is still a jail.”
