The former child psychiatrist who
spent months in a state mental hos-
pital after being diagnosed with
dementia is competent to stand trial
on child molestation charges, a San
Mateo County Superior Court judge
ruled yesterday after hearing from
doctors who say
he was likely
exaggerating his
symptoms to
avoid prosecu-
tion.
Judge Jack
Grandsaert rein-
stated criminal
charges against
William Hamilton Ayres, 80, and
scheduled trial for March 11. He
also set bail at $900,000, citing con-
cern Ayres could be a risk for ight
or suicide. Ayres had been free from
custody on bail before his commit-
ment last fall but Grandsaert had
refused to allow it again while the
man was still in legal limbo regard-
ing his mental tness.
Grandsaert, rather than a jury,
returned the verdict Wednesday
morning, capping three days of tes-
timony from staff at Napa State
Hospital and Ayres own defense
attorney. The hospital had returned
Ayres to San Mateo County as com-
petent earlier this year and one psy-
chologist specifically concluded
Ayres used his medical expertise to
fool others. But several other doc-
tors called by the defense disagreed
and said, even if he exaggerated his
symptoms, Ayres still suffered from
the progressive disease.
Ayres sat through the trial and rul-
ing much as he has through all pro-
ceedings since his return wheel-

Multiple lawsuits stemming
from a teacher abuse case in the
Redwood City Elementary School
District were filed in October
one from the parent of a boy
allegedly kicked and deprived of
food, the others from five instruc-

after the case came to light.
Alexia Alika Bogdis, who is
accused of abusing two autistic
boys in her care as a special educa-
tion teacher at Roosevelt
Elementary School, will stand trial
in December on five counts of
child cruelty and four counts of
battery on school grounds. She has
pleaded not
guilty to all
charges. In

the case.
First, a moth-

Workers were busy installing new
refrigeration units and display cases
yesterday in a new 7-Eleven store
set to open soon in the San Mateo
Heights neighborhood.
They were doing so just hours
after the citys Planning
Commission said a 7-Eleven is not
welcome in the area despite claims
from city staff that the property
owners have the legal right to estab-
lish the store.
The issue pits residents in the
neighborhood who say a 7-Eleven
will be a detriment to the area
against the propertys owners, who
contend they have the constitutional
right and backing of city code and
staff to put the convenience store in
place.
Whatever the outcome, litigation
is likely and the City Council will
next decide whether to side with the
areas residents or stick with city
Council to decide 7-Elevens fate
Conict over use at old deli site may end in litigation

Halloween-colored
lobster caught off coast
BOSTON A Massachusetts sher-
man has caught a creepy-looking lobster
thats colored to match Halloween.
The New England Aquarium says the
1-pound female lobster has an orange
side and a black side, with the colors split
perfectly down the middle.
Marine ofcials say such coloration is
estimated to occur once in every 50 mil-
lion lobsters.
The sherman who caught the season-
ally colored crustacean in a trap last week
is from Beverly, a seaside community 20
miles northeast of Boston.
The rare lobster is known as a split.
Aquarium ofcials said Wednesday splits
have been caught in Maine, Rhode Island
and Nova Scotia in the last 10 years.
Restaurant acknowledges
roach infestation
MILL VALLEY A Northern
California eatery is giving its customers
information that most restaurants go to
great lengths to cover up.
Cafe del Soul in Marin County has
posted a sign near its front door acknowl-
edging that its infested with German
cockroaches.
The organic restaurant has also report-
ed itself to the county environmental
health services department and will be
closed on Wednesday so a pest control
company can go to work.
Manager Sandro De Oliveira told the
Marin Independent Journal the cafes
owner wanted to be honest with cus-
tomers. The newspaper reports that the
restaurant also wanted to put pressure on
the building owner to take action against
the pests.
The cafe is in a strip mall that includes
other tenants.
County ofcials say they will send an
inspector.
Woman wants roadside
memorial to honor fish
IRVINE Animal activists want a
California roadside memorial sign to
honor sh killed during a container truck
crash.
People for the Ethical Treatment of
Animals volunteer Dina Kourda told
Irvines street maintenance chief the sign
would remind drivers that sh value their
lives and feel pain.
About 1,600 pounds of saltwater bass
died on Oct. 11 when the truck hauling
them to market got into a three-way
crash.
Kourdas letter acknowledges roadside
memorials traditionally honor humans,
but she hopes an exception will be made.
Irvine spokesman Craig Reem says
there wont be a sh memorial.
But PETA spokeswoman Asheley
Byrne said they will go back and ask
again.
Its not the rst time PETA has asked to
post a memorial for animals killed on
their way to slaughter.
Theyve tried to honor pigs killed in
Virginia and cows killed in crashes in
Illinois, Kansas, and Manitoba, Canada,
Byrne said, but none have been approved.
Its their rst sh effort. They will con-
tinue trying for memorials when trucks
carrying animals to slaughter are
involved in crashes and there is a heavy
death toll.
They are on their way to slaughter,
which is, of course, pretty hellish. To suf-
fer an accident on the way and be left in
the middle of the street is unthinkable,
Byrne said.

BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
Palo Alto voters will decide next week
whether to allow up to three medical marijua-
na dispensaries to open in their city.
The City Council has already come out
unanimously against the measure, but propo-
nents say it would generate needed tax rev-
enue and provide convenient access for those
who need the drug for pain management.
If the measure passes, the dispensaries
would be subject to a 4 percent tax on gross
receipts and would only be allowed to open in
areas more than 150 feet away from residen-
tial neighborhoods, 600 feet from schools and
500 feet from public libraries, parks, licensed
day-care centers and drug rehab centers.
The dispensaries would be given one-year
permits, with the possibility of annual renew-
al.
But longtime Councilman Larry Klein, a
three-time former mayor, said he believes dis-
pensaries are something the majority of citi-
zens dont need or want.
Since I took my council seat, I have heard
zero requests for marijuana dispensaries in
Palo Alto, Klein said.
Klein also argued that the tax revenue from
the three dispensaries would be an estimated
$40,000 a small amount that he said would
be eclipsed by the cost of extra policing and
administration.
This is more trouble than its worth,
Klein said. Wed be the marijuana magnet of
the Peninsula, and I dont think we want
that.
The surrounding communities of Redwood
City, Mountain View, Menlo Park, Sunnyvale
and Cupertino have all banned dispensaries,
Klein said.
He added that allowing marijuana dispen-
saries in the city would put its laws at odds
with federal regulations.
One of Measure Cs supporters, Joseph
McNamara, a retired San Jose police chief
and fellow at Stanford Universitys Hoover
Institution, is passionate about what he sees
as the folly of the war on drugs.
It doesnt make sense to keep marijuana
illegal ... prohibition not only does not work,
it creates enormous violence and corruption,
McNamara said.
When McNamara attended Harvard
University, he wrote his thesis on the crimi-
nalization of drugs in the early part of the
20th century.
If were going to ban anything, we might
as well go back to the prohibition of alcohol,
not marijuana, McNamara said. Marijuana
helps people who suffer from pain.
Plus, McNamara said, unlike alcohol, pot
tends to make people mellow, not angry.
According to Klein, though, the core of the
measure isnt about prohibition.
The issue isnt the legalization of pot, the
issue is do we want to have these dispensaries
in our community, given all the problems
everybody else has had, Klein said.
Police release Muni bus
arson suspects video
San Francisco police today released a video
of suspects believed to be responsible for the
arson of a Municipal Railway bus after the
Giants World Series victory on Sunday and
are asking for the publics help in identifying
them.
The 8X-Bayshore Express Muni bus was
torched and vandalized at about 12:30 a.m.
Monday at Market and Third streets.
The video, recorded by a witness, appears to
show two suspects lighting the bus on re after
it had stopped on Market Street. Eight passen-
gers and the driver had been on board the bus
but got out before the vandalism started.
Gregory Tyler Graniss, 22, was arrested
Tuesday after a news photo showed a man
smashing the windshield of the Muni bus with
part of a barricade.
Social media helped spread the photo and
led to tips identifying Graniss as the suspect.
He was arrested at his home and has since con-
fessed to the vandalism, police Chief Greg
Suhr said at a news conference yesterday.
Suhr said he hopes the same help from social
media will lead to the identication of the two
suspects who burned the bus.
We will seek them and we will arrest
them, he said. Theres no place for this in
any city, let alone San Francisco.
Suhr said it was unclear from the video what
the suspects used to light the bus on re.
Were hopeful theyll tell us when theyre
wearing handcuffs, he said.
A video of the arson is available at

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A former San Mateo civil attorney con-
victed more than 25 years ago of murdering
his new wife and her boyfriend in front of
her two children and father was denied
release this week, a year after a parole board
recommended he be let out.
The Board of Parole Hearings denied
Dennis Brian Anderson for three years after
hearing from his deceased wifes 94-year-
old father and the prosecution, both of whom
opposed his release. The decision was a flip
from November 2011 after Andersons
fourth parole hearing when the board gave
him a release date. As required, the case
went to the governor for final consideration
and Gov. Jerry Brown sent it back for a
mandatory review hearing to address some
specific areas he felt were inadequate.
The three-year denial was the minimum
allowed the Board of Parole Hearings under
the law.
Anderson is currently serving a term of 17
years to life at Vacaville State Prison for two
counts of second-degree murder plus a
firearm enhancement.
On Oct. 19, 1984, Anderson, enraged that
his new wife Karen Stoker-Anderson left
him after just weeks of marriage, shot her
and boyfriend Donald Mason, 46, in front of
the children and her father. Stoker-Anderson
had informed Anderson during their Paris
honeymoon she was still in love with Mason
and wanted an annulment. When Anderson
arrived at her San Mateo home to pick up
some belongings, he found Mason there and
killed them with a shotgun.
Nearly a year later, on Oct. 15, 1985, a
jury convicted Anderson. He received two
terms of 17 years to life running concurrent-
ly.
A state appellate court affirmed the con-
victions but a decade later a federal judge
overturned the verdict, ruling Andersons
mental fitness for trial was never questioned
by his original defense attorney. On Jan. 22,
1997, after a new two-month trial, Anderson
was again convicted of the same charges and
the same sentence imposed.
If Anderson was sentenced today for the
same crimes, the term would be closer to 70
years to life, according to District Attorney
Steve Wagstaffe.
Convicted killer denied parole
A 35-year-old transient sent to a state mental
hospital before being tried for allegedly grab-
bing a womans ponytail and stealing a childs
potato chips outside a Redwood City super-
market is now mentally t for trial, according
to doctors at the facility.
Napa State Hospital sent Brian Adam
Christensen back to San Mateo County for
prosecution, concluding he is now able to aid
in his own defense against charges of rst-
degree robbery, battery and resisting arrest.
Christensen appeared in court yesterday to cer-
tify the report and reinstate the charges.
Prosecutors say Christensen approached the
woman outside Chavez Supermarket on Nov.
2, 2011 where she was with her 2-year-old son
and a 3-year-old she was baby-sitting for a
friend. Christensen reportedly grabbed the
womans hair without warning, and asked if
she had a problem, before latching onto one
childs foot and trying to
pull him from a carousel,
according to the District
Attorneys Ofce.
The woman kicked the
man, later identified as
Christensen, and police
reported he grabbed the
childs potato chips and
walked off. Redwood City
police found Christensen
nearby with the chips and
arrested him after a struggle in which he spit at
and tried to head butt an ofcer. He also ram-
bled in a bizarre manner to the ofcers, accord-
ing to the prosecution.
He already pleaded not guilty before doubts
about his mental state placed criminal pro-
ceedings on hold. Two of three court-appoint-
ed doctors found him incompetent in February.
He remains in custody.

The man charged with fatally stabbing an

mental hospital.
Doctors at Napa State Hospital declared
Laungatasi Samana Ahio competent for trial
but his defense attorney is contesting the con-
clusion and demanding a trial. On Wednesday,
that date was scheduled for Dec. 4.
Ahio, 23, is charged in the Aug. 4, 2010
murder of Jared Afu. If convicted of murder
and the special allegation of lying in wait, he
faces life in prison without parole. Afus
friends reported seeing him stabbed by Ahio
around 11:30 p.m. The next afternoon, a
bloodied backpack con-
taining identication and a
bloody knife was discov-
ered a block from the
school, on the side of the
New Vision United
Methodist Church on
Chadbourne Avenue. Ahio
surrendered to police that
night.
Authorities suggested
Ahio killed Afu over jealousy involving a girl-
friend who he was convicted in July 2010 of
battering. In June, Ahio was committed to
Napa State Hospital.
Competency is a persons ability to aid in his
or her defense at trial while sanity is a persons
mental state at the time of an alleged crime.
He remains in custody without bail.

The former Rite Aid worker accused of
altering a court order to serve an embezzle-
ment sentence in San Franciscos work pro-
gram instead of San Mateo County was sen-
tenced to six months in jail for preparing false
evidence.
Kamaldeep Atwal, 28, of San Jose, pleaded no
contest to the felony and also admitted violating
her probation with the new case. She received an
extra 120 days in jail consecutive to the six
months for faking documents. Atwal must also
spend three years on supervised probation.
In December 2011, Atwal was sentenced to
60 days jail for embezzlement and grand theft
that previous September. A judge denied her
request to serve the time in San Francisco but
gave her until June 16 to surrender to the
womens jail in San Mateo County.
Prosecutors say Atwal instead forged the court
order so it allowed the
county transfer and took
the document to the San
Francisco County Jail
where she was admitted
into its alternate sentencing
program.
The forgery was report-
edly handwritten as though
a court clerk had made the
amendment. Atwals pro-
bation ofcer and county
jail workers caught the alleged fraud when she
failed to surrender.
In the earlier case, Atwal reportedly used
the Western Union machine at the Rite Aid
store to wire $27,912 over a two-week period
to herself and friends.
Atwal remains free from custody on a
$10,000 bond until her Jan. 5 surrender to the
jail.

percent voted by mail in 2000.
The state distributed 8.9 million mail-in
ballots this election cycle, about 20 percent
more than were requested in 2008.
The rise in mail-in voting means that some
of the highest-profile contests, from a
statewide tax initiative to nationally watched
congressional races, might not be decided by
the time voters go to bed on Election Day if
enough of those voters wait until the last
minute to turn in their ballots.
Weve given people more avenues to vote,
but to ensure theres no fraud and error, we
have to take more time to verify the ballots,
said Kim Alexander, president of the nonpar-
tisan California Voter Foundation. Weve
traded speed for convenience.
Absentee ballots take longer to count
because elections workers must compare the
signature on the mailed envelope with the
one on that voters registration card.
Many voters wait until the end to submit
their ballots, which delays the process fur-
ther, California Secretary of State Debra
Bowen said.
The biggest change is the number of bal-
lots that are being dropped off on Election
Day, she said. Those ballots dont even
start to be processed until 8 p.m.
California voters are most likely to drop
off their ballots at polling stations during
presidential contest years. In 2008, 3.2 mil-
lion ballots a quarter of the total vote
count didnt make the election night tally.
Many California races are likely to be nail-
biters already, thanks to the success of a new
independent process for drawing the states
legislative and congressional districts.
Several statewide ballot initiatives also are
expected to be close, including Proposition
30, Gov. Jerry Browns proposal to raise the
statewide sales tax and increase income
taxes on the wealthy to help close the states
budget deficit.
Surge in mail-in voting could delay California results

Council to business:
Dont sell rat poisons
The Belmont City Council
recently passed a resolution oppos-
ing the sale and purchase of rat and
mouse poisons deemed an unrea-
sonable risk to children, pets and
wildlife.
The use of such poisons is regu-
lated by the state of California and
the resolution does not mandate the
ban of poisons, however, it does
urge Belmont businesses to stop
the sale of 10 specific rat and
mouse poisons that do not incorpo-
rate safety measures specified by
the Environmental Protection
Agency.
The resolution also urges
Belmont residents to avoid buying
the products and encourages the
use of less-toxic rodent control
methods.
San Mateo man arrested
for trying to steal from car
Belmont police arrested a 32-
year-old San Mateo man for
attempting to steal from an
unlocked car on the 1500 block of
Sunnyslope Avenue in their city
early yesterday morning. Police
also believe the man may have
entered four other unlocked cars.
At approximately 4:05 a.m.,
Belmont police were called to
Sunnyslope Avenue on the report
of a man entering a parked car.
Responding officers detained a
man identified as Richard Heinz
near the intersection of Sunnyslope
Avenue and Lane Street, according
to police.
Police said it appear Heinz
entered three unlocked vehicles in
the 1500 block of Sunnyslope
Avenue and may be linked to a
theft from another unlocked vehi-
cle in the 900 block of Ruth
Avenue earlier in the morning.
Two wanted for stealing
cash from 7-Eleven
The 7-Eleven at 196 San Mateo
Road in Half Moon Bay was
robbed of $7,581.99 in cash from a
bag stored in a rear office early
Monday afternoon, according to
the San Mateo County Sheriffs
Office.
At approximately 12:17 p.m.,
two men entered the store. While
one distracted the cashier by ask-
ing questions about lottery tickets,
the other went into the rear office
and took the cash though the crime
was not reported for several hours,
according to the Sheriffs Office.
The men are described as black,
in their late 30s to late 40s. One
was approximately 6 feet 1 inch
and weighed approximately 170
pounds. He was wearing a dark
golf-style hat, black jacket with
brown furry material around the
hooded portion, a white shirt, black
jeans and white tennis shoes. The
other was approximately 5 feet 9
inches and weighed approximately
220 pounds. He was wearing a
black leather baseball hat, clear
glasses, a white, black and tan shirt
with horizontal stripes with black
pants and black shoes, according to
the Sheriffs Office.
Fleeing suspect
caught after collision
A 19 year-old Belmont resident,
Daniel Evenbach, was arrested
Tuesday after causing a major-
injury accident on El Camino Real
and 20th Avenue, according to San
Mateo police.
The collision initially appears to
have started when the suspect vehi-
cle ran a red light northbound and
struck a westbound vehicle broad-
side in the intersection, causing
other vehicles to become involved.
One of the vehicles was turned
onto its side as a result of the colli-
sion. Drug and/or alcohol influence
is being investigated as a factor in
this collision, according to police.
Evenbach was booked into San
Mateo County Jail on felony
charges of driving under the influ-
ence and hit and run due to the
injuries caused by the collision.
Another passenger in the vehicle
was also detained.
Six vehicles, and three injured
parties in addition to the two flee-
ing subjects from the suspect vehi-
cle, were involved in the collision.
There were some serious injuries
involved in the collision requiring
hospitalization, the exact extent of
the serious injuries is yet to be
determined, according to police.
The suspects in the 7-Eleven robbery are described as black, in their late
30s to late 40s.

President tours storm damaged East Coast
By David Espo and Julie Pace
BRIGANTINE, N.J. President
Barack Obama soberly toured the
destruction wrought by superstorm
Sandy on Wednesday in the company of
New Jerseys Republican governor and
assured victims we will not quit until
cleanup and recovery are complete. Six
days before their hard-fought election,
rival Mitt Romney muted criticism of
Obama as he barnstormed battleground
Florida.
Forsaking partisan politics for the third
day in a row, the president helicoptered
with Gov. Chris Christie over washed-out
roads, ooded homes, boardwalks bob-
bing in the ocean and, in Seaside
Heights, a re still burning after ruining
about eight structures.
Back on the ground, the president
introduced one local woman to my guy
Craig Fugate. In a plainspoken demon-
stration of the power of the presidency,
Obama instructed the man at the head of
the Federal Emergency Management
Agency, a 7,500-employee federal
agency, to make sure she gets the help
she needs immediately.
Despite the tour and Romneys own
expressions of sympathy for storm vic-
tims a break on the surface from heat-
ed campaigning a controversy as
heated as any in the long, intense strug-
gle for the White House ared over the
Republican challengers new television
and radio ads in Ohio.
Desperation, Vice President Joe
Biden said of the broadcast claims that
suggested automakers General Motors
and Chrysler are adding jobs in China at
the expense of workers in the bellwether
state. One of the most agrantly dishon-
est ads I can ever remember.
Republicans were unrepentant as
Romney struggled for a breakthrough in
the Midwest.
American taxpayers are on track to
lose $25 billion as a result of President
Obamas handling of the auto bailout,
and GM and Chrysler are expanding
their production overseas, said an
emailed statement issued in the name of
Republican running mate Paul Ryan.
The two storms one inicted by
nature, the other whipped up by rival
campaigns were at opposite ends of a
race nearing its end in a urry of early
balloting by millions of voters, unrelent-
ing advertising and so many divergent
polls that the result was confusion, not
clarity.
National surveys make the race a tight
one for the popular vote, with Romney
ahead by a statistically insignicant point
or two in some, and Obama in others.
Both sides claim an advantage from
battleground state soundings that also are
tight. Obamas aides contend he is ahead
or tied in all of them, while Romneys
team counters that his campaign is
expanding in its nal days into what had
long been deemed safe territory for the
president in Michigan, Pennsylvania and
Minnesota.

WASHINGTON Just about everybody agrees
Washington is a gridlocked mess. But whos the man to x
it? After two years of brawling and brinkmanship between
President Barack Obama and congressional Republicans,
more voters trust Mitt Romney to break the stalemate, an
Associated Press-GfK poll shows.
Romneys message a vote for Obama is a vote for more
gridlock seems to be getting through. Almost half of like-
ly voters, 47 percent, think the Republican challenger would
be better at ending the logjam, compared with 37 percent for
Obama.
With the race charging into its nal week, Romney is
pushing that idea. He increasingly portrays himself as a get-
things-done, work-with-everybody pragmatist, in hopes of
convincing independent voters that he can overcome
Washingtons bitter partisanship. The AP-GfK poll shows
the race in a virtual dead heat, with Romney at 47 percent to
Obamas 45 percent, a difference within the margin of sam-
pling error.

NEW YORK Millions of fam-
ilies tried to adjust to life without
modern conveniences Wednesday,
two full days after Superstorm
Sandy ripped through the Northeast
and blacked out some of the
nations most densely populated
cities and suburbs.
Homes grew chilly without heat.
Food spoiled in refrigerators.
Televisions remained silent. And
people everywhere scurried for a
spot to charge their cellphones.
By and large, Americans tried to
make the best of a situation that was
beyond their control while utilities
struggled to restore power a mas-
sive job they warned could last well
into next week.
Sandys footprint was enormous,
knocking down wires and rendering
other critical equipment useless
across a huge span of the country,
from Virginia to Massachusetts and
as far west as the Great Lakes.
Its unprecedented: fallen trees,
debris, the roads, water, snow. Its a
little bit of everything, said Brian
Wolff, senior vice president of the
Edison Electric Institute, a group
that lobbies for utilities.
For power companies, the scale of
the destruction was unmatched. The
damage is more widespread than
any blizzard or ice storm. And its
worse than the aftermath of
Hurricane Katrina.
About 60 million people were ini-
tially without power in 8.2 million
homes and businesses. By
Wednesday night, that number had
fallen to roughly 44 million people
in 6 million households and busi-
nesses.
Even as power slowly returned to
some pockets, a new headache
emerged: Backup batteries and gen-
erators running cell phone towers
were running out of juice. One out
of every five towers was down,
according to the Federal
Communications Commission.
That plus more people relying
on their cell phones to stay connect-
ed overwhelmed the system in
some areas, making it hard to place
calls.
With many businesses and
schools closed, people looked for
ways to keep themselves enter-
tained.
John Mazzeo, of Monroe, Conn.,
had a small generator that doesnt
really provide him much power. But
it was enough to keep his 7-year-old
daughter occupied with a Christmas
movie. Meals consisted of
McDonalds and cereal.

WASHINGTON Can you trust
what a dogs nose knows? Police do,
but the Supreme Court considered
Wednesday curbing the use of drug-
snifng dogs in investigations fol-
lowing complaints of illegal search-
es and insufcient proof of the dogs
reliability.
Justices seemed concerned about
allowing police to bring their narcot-
ic-detecting dogs to sniff around the
outside of homes without a warrant
and seemed willing to allow defense
attorneys to question at trial how
well drug dogs have been trained
and how well they have been doing
their job in the eld.
Dogs make mistakes. Dogs err,
lawyer Glen P. Gifford told the jus-
tices. Dogs get excited and will
alert to things like tennis balls in
trunks or animals, that sort of thing.
But Justice Department lawyer
Joseph R. Palmore warned justices
not to let the questioning of dog
skills go too far, because they also
are used to detect bombs, protect
federal ofcials and in search and
rescue operations. I think its criti-
cal ... that the courts not constitu-
tionalize dog training methodologies
or hold mini-trials with expert wit-
nesses on what makes for a success-
ful dog training program, he said.
There are 32 K-9 teams in the
eld right now in New York and
New Jersey looking for survivors of
Hurricane Sandy, Palmore added.
So, in situation after situation, the
government has in a sense put its
money where its mouth is, and it
believes at an institutional level that
these dogs are quite reliable.
The arguments on Wednesday
revolved around the work of Franky
and Aldo, two drug-snifng dogs
used by police departments in
Florida.
Frankys case arose from the
December 2006 arrest of Joelis
Jardines at a Miami-area house
where 179 marijuana plants were
confiscated. Miami-Dade police
ofcers obtained a search warrant
after Franky detected the odor of pot
from outside the front door.
Justices: Do drug-sniffing dogs pass smell test?
Disney unlikely to
change Star Wars
By Ryan Nakashima
LOS ANGELES Naysayers
would have you believe Disneys pur-
chase of Lucaslm can only mean
one thing: Bambi and Mickey Mouse
are sure to appear in future Star
Wars movies taking up lightsabers
against the dark side of the Force.
Not so, say experts whove watched
Disneys recent acquisition strategy
closely. If anything, The Walt Disney
Co. has earned credibility with
diehard fans by keeping its nger-
prints off important lm franchises
like those produced by its Marvel
Entertainment and Pixar divisions.
Theyve been pretty clearly hands-
off in terms of letting the creative
minds of those companies do what
they do best, says Todd Juenger, an
analyst with Bernstein Research.
Universally, people think they pulled
it off.
Though the Walt Disney Co. built
its reputation on squeaky clean fami-
ly entertainment, its brand today is
multifaceted. Disney, of course, start-
ed as an animation studio in 1923
with characters such as Oswald the
Lucky Rabbit and Mickey Mouse.
Over the years, the company ventured
into live action movies, opened theme
parks, launched a eet of cruise ships
and debuted shows on TV.
By way of acquisitions over the last
few decades, it has ballooned into a
company with $40.9 billion in annual
revenue and a market value of $88
billion. Disney bought Capital
Cities/ABC in 1995 for $19 billion,
Pixar for $7.4 billion in 2006, Marvel
for $4.2 billion in 2009 and this week,
it said it will purchase Lucaslm and
the Star Wars franchise for $4.05
billion.

W
hat did President Barack Obama
know and when did he know it?
Why has the Obama administra-
tion kept changing its story about how
Ambassador Chris Stevens, security ofcials
Tyrone Woods of Imperial Beach and Glen
Doherty of Encinitas, and information ofcer
Sean Smith, who grew up in San Diego, died
on Sept. 11 in Benghazi, Libya? Why wont
the mainstream media treat the incontrovert-
ible evidence of the White Houses dishon-
esty and incompetence like the ugly scandal
it obviously is?
These are all questions that demand to be
answered after revelations that demolished
the tidy narrative the president has been
offering about Benghazi.
Until recently, the White House had
taken a moderate hit over the fact that for
two weeks after it happened, officials had
fostered the impression that the four
Americans were killed Sept. 11 in a spon-
taneous protest triggered by a blasphe-
mous anti-Islam video posted on YouTube
not by a coordinated terrorist attack on
the 11th anniversary of 9/11.
There was no fog. There was no sponta-
neous uprising. Thanks to a drone and other
surveillance technology, the White Houses
national security team knew in real time that
the U.S. consulate and a safe house a mile
away in Benghazi were under coordinated
attack by a well-armed group, not from a
protest that unexpectedly escalated. Over a
seven-hour span on Sept. 11, the besieged
Americans made at least two urgent requests
for help; the U.S. military has considerable
assets in the area that could have been
deployed to Benghazi.
Isnt this a story a gigantic story?
Bike markings at
San Carlos train station
Editor,
Those brave and hardy souls who travel
around San Carlos by bicycle have a new
indicator recently painted by our friends
from Caltrans to demonstrate how they
should use the El Camino Real/San Carlos
Avenue intersection near the Catrain station.
As bicyclists leave the train station area,
heading west on San Carlos Avenue or south
on El Camino Real, they will see a new icon
on the pavement. It looks a little like the
sharrows we have gotten used to seeing
around town, but its a bit smaller. It indi-
cates where a bicycle should be placed in the
lane to trigger the trafc light to change from
red to green.
When there are no motor vehicles around,
bicycles alone will not trigger that light
unless they are placed in exactly the proper
location now we know where that is.
Studies indicate that bicyclists are most
likely to wait legally for the light to change
when they know for certain that light will
change for them. The painting of this mark-
ing in this location is a strong encouragement
to all road users to share the lanes politely,
safely and legally.
Thank you, Caltrans!

Whether we like it or not
Editor,
I cant believe the extent to which we are
being misled by this years ads on the
California propositions. It gets worse with
every election. The ads are so misleading that
they border on lying to the public and give
me cause to wonder how voters are perceived
by those who pay for these ads. It is disturb-
ing and quite insulting to the intelligence of
all Californians. Those who spend the money
on these ads consider that most voters wont
read the voter pamphlets or look up the real
language on the propositions. Bottom line,
we have allowed special interests to run our
lives. If it looks good or sounds good it must
be true ... not necessarily.
The ads are constructed in such a way as to
pull on our heart strings and are mind-bend-
ing to the point where we are lured through
their deception. We have become so compla-
cent that with each election weve allowed
special interests to tell us what we need
whether we like it or not. The most disturb-
ing of the advertising surrounds Proposition
32, the Paycheck Protection initiative. If
you read the rst line in the sample ballot
book, this proposition clearly states that
whether you are a union employee or work
for a corporation, voting yes protects your
rights and nothing more.
I am afraid that we operate on an assump-
tion that the reason proponents of these
propositions spend so much time, money and
energy on the ads is that they are interested
in solving a problem for our benet. Wrong.
They are more interested in two things:
telling you just enough to make you afraid
and telling you who is to blame. Political ads
have gone too far. Dont be lured by them.

You have the power
Editor,
I was looking at my retirement account the
other day and noticed it is looked kind of
wimpy and not as healthy as it once did. This
is not fair; Im a regular working guy. So I
thought I would put a tax initiative on the
ballot, taxing my fellow citizens to replenish
my retirement account. I know the rest of
you are suffering too, but Im special and I
deserve it.
If you think this is crazy, that is exactly
what public unions are demanding with the
backing of powerful union leaders and politi-
cians in Sacramento. Its a heads I win, tails
you lose scenario. When voting on tax
increases Tuesday, keep this in mind. When
these initiatives say that this new money is
guaranteed to go to either schools or public
safety, they are not telling you the whole
story. What will happen to the funding that
was already budgeted to go to these two cate-
gories without the tax increase? Sacramento
has the power to then divert those funds for
whatever use they see t.
Remember that Californias current budget
includes revenue based on a tax increase that
has not even been approved by the voters yet.
Lastly, keep in mind that the rst thing our
governor puts on the chopping block if his
tax increase does not get approved is educa-
tion. His choice, not yours. This is our best
and last opportunity to stop the madness in
its tracks and get control of our states
nances. Send a strong message to
Sacramento and vote no on all tax increases,
keeping California a competitive place to do
business.

Obama MIA?
Editor,
A majority of Americans now believe there
is at least something problematic with cli-
mate or weird weather.
Some large number of individuals better
acquainted with the detailed science believe
wed better take some major actions fast or
face huge risks.
It would seem that Obama has a slam-dunk
with these people if he promises to become a
champion for this issue because, of course,
Republicans have uniformly agreed to go
with full-bore denial.
His silence on climate change is, simply
put, mind-blowing.

Sorry, Charlie
G
ood grief! Just when it appeared
legions of children would come out
of the Halloween season unscathed
by monsters and creepy-crawlies and razor
blade containing apples and dentists who
think candy is evil, word comes of a new and
unexpected nugget of cruelty disguised in a
sugar sweet cos-
tume.
Its the Great
Pumpkin, Charlie
Brown.
Anybody who
viewed or knows
children who
watched the ani-
mated classic spe-
cial Wednesday
night better run
quickly to Lucy to
see if the doctor is
in because theyre
going to need a strong dose of therapy to undo
the pro-bullying message woven throughout
the 1966 cartoon.
At least, Buzz Bishop thinks so. The blog-
ger contended in a recent post that the show
sends a bad message to impressionable little
ears with its constant stream of insults like
stupid and dumb toward hero Charlie
Brown. His piece now has other parents
debating whether the special is linked to an
increase in schoolyard and cyber bullying that
has unfortunately lead to irreparable harm or
even death. In other words, rst comes Charlie
being called a blockhead; next, its todays
children pushing others to the point of suicide.
Thats right; Charlie Brown is a gateway
cartoon.
Bishop is no stranger to controversy, having
stirred up a hornets nest in September with a
blog admitting he has a favorite child.
Perhaps, then, he just likes pushing buttons
rather than truly thinking kids will watch the
cartoon parents hand Charlie Brown a sack of
rocks while other rake in candy and think:
Well, this makes it OK to terrorize middle-
schoolers through social media.
Regardless, this is not the indecipherable
wah-wah voice of Charlie Browns teacher.
This buzz is gaining traction, in no small part
to October being widely declared Anti-
Bullying Month, which means a petition, a
movement and a call to action is all but a
tweet or Facebook page away.
No mistake, bullying is no laughing matter.
But would banning Charlie and company real-
ly have spared Amanda Todd, the stars of the
It Gets Better campaign or the children high-
lighted in the seminal and aptly named docu-
mentary Bully? No.
That group wasnt just omitted from the
party invite list or deemed unpopular. No,
those individuals were singled out, picked on
maliciously and pushed to the brink. Thats
not Charlie Brown unless he has a new special
yet to air.
Just because a cartoon or movie is univer-
sally anointed a classic or slice of nostalgia
doesnt automatically make it untouchable.
Age doesnt necessarily equal gem.
But the reason to leave Its the Great
Pumpkin, Charlie Brown alone is because
there is no valid reason to do otherwise.
According to the cartoon, life is unfair, kids
are mean, parents arent much better and there
are just as many tricks as treats on Halloween.
Kind of sounds like real life sometimes.
Some parents undoubtedly would love to
swaddle their children in the omnipresent
equivalent of Linus security blanket, keeping
then warm, happy and oblivious. Others just
like having something new to tsk-tsk about.
The rst group should probably make a
point to watch the cartoon with their children
if theyre really that concerned about its mes-
sage.
And the second? Dont worry about failing
to squash the Great Pumpkin; A Charlie
Brown Christmas is right around the corner.

NEW YORK Stocks closed mixed
on Wednesday in their rst session since
Superstorm Sandy forced a historic two-
day shutdown of trading.
The Dow Jones industrial average
slipped 10.75 points to 13,096.46. The
Standard & Poors 500 index rose, but
barely up 0.22 of a point to 1,412.16.
Investors were nervous that a ood of
orders after two days of pent-up demand
from customers might lead to volatile
trading. But stock prices barely budged
at the opening, and stayed within a tight
range throughout the day.
Its been very smooth, Duncan
Niederauer, CEO of NYSE Euronext,
told CNBC from the exchange oor
shortly after the opening bell. The mar-
ket-making community is more than
staffed enough to be open.
The last time the New York Stock
Exchange closed for two consecutive
days because of weather was during the
Blizzard of 1888 124 years ago. Since
power was out in large parts of down-
town Manhattan on Wednesday, the trad-
ing oor had to be run on backup gener-
ators.
Home Depot and Lowes rose as
investors anticipated more business for
the home improvement chains as people
made repairs in the aftermath of the dev-
astating storm. Home Depot gained
$1.34 to $61.38 and Lowes rose $1.02
to $32.38.
Netix soared $9.66 to $79.24 after
nancier Carl Icahn said he had bought a
10 percent stake in the troubled compa-
ny.
Among the losers were insurers
Chubb, Allstate and Travelers. Investors
worried that the companies are most
likely to suffer losses due to insurance
claims. The trio have a large share of the

PARIS European news organiza-
tions bleeding money and readers are try-
ing to avoid extinction by asking govern-
ments in France, Germany and Italy to
step in and charge Google for using their
content in its search results something
the Web giant has always done for free.
Critics including, unsurprisingly,
Google say the strategy is shortsight-
ed and self-destructive, and the search
engine warns it will stop indexing
European news sites if forced to pay. But
publishers advocating a Google tax
aimed at beneting their industry point to
the example of Brazil, where their coun-
terparts abandoned the search engine and
say repercussions have been minimal.
The dispute underscores a fundamental
question facing media agencies around
the world: Who should benet from links
to online content that is costly to produce
and yet generates a fraction of the ad rev-
enue that once allowed newspapers to
ourish?
Europe has tried to sidestep Google
before. Six years ago, then-French
President Jacques Chirac unveiled plans
for Quaero (Latin for I search) as the
answer to U.S. dominance of the
Internet. The multi-platform search and
operating system was supposed to work
with desktop computers, mobile devices
and even televisions.

In 2010, we characterized the

I thank you for always being

Perhaps more disappointing than
the actual loss against Butte College
last Saturday afternoon for the
College of San Mateo football team
was the acknowledgement that for
another season, the ultimate goal
would not be accomplished.
So players trickled into the team
locker room visibly ustered by the
19-11 defeat. Sure, the Bulldogs
knew they hadnt played well
mostly, they lacked the edge you
need in order to beat a defense of
Buttes caliber. And with its second
defeat in NorCal Conference play,
the chances of CSM playing for the
state title this year vanished.
We just didnt play well, said
CSM head coach Bret Pollack. We
didnt execute well on offense.
Defense gave up two big plays in the
rst half but then was ne in the sec-

some injuries that hurt us in the

OAKLAND While the stability of
Stephen Currys right ankle remains uncer-
tain, his nancial footing with the Golden
State Warriors has never been more secure.
Curry signed a $44 million, four-year con-
tract extension before Wednesday nights sea-
son opener at Phoenix that
will keep the point guard
with the Warriors through
the 2016-17 season. It was
the nal day Golden State
could sign Curry to an
extension or he would
become a restricted free
agent next summer.
I just thought the deal
was too good to pass up
right now, Curry said
before the Warriors season opener against the
Suns. Obviously Ive been through a lot of
injuries the last year and a half with my ankle,
but its back strong and ready to go.
Curry missed 40 of 66 games last season
and sprained his twice-surgically repaired
right ankle again in the preseason, sitting out
the nal two exhibitions at the request of sec-
ond-year coach Mark Jackson. New Warriors
general manager Bob Myers and owners Joe
Lacob and Peter Guber felt the point guard
was still worth the risk given his production
when healthy.
This is an exciting day for the Warriors and
our fans and it certainly exemplies the com-
mitment of Joe Lacob and Peter Guber,
Myers said in a statement. Were extremely
pleased that we have reached an agreement
that will enable Stephen to remain a vital part
of our team long term. His contributions over
the last three years, both on the oor and in the
community, have been invaluable to our
organization. We certainly expect him to be an
integral part of our future success as he con-
tinues to evolve as a player in all facets of the
game.
The 24-year-old Curry averaged career lows
of 14.7 points, 5.3 assists and 3.4 rebounds
last season. He has still proven to be one of the
NBAs most prolic scorers when hes on the
court, shooting 47 percent from the eld and
44 percent from 3-point range in his rst three
seasons.
Curry said he believed in the direction the
team is heading.
Ive just seen the difference from my rook-
ie year of where the organization is going, he
said. Its denitely promising and Im opti-
mistic about where we can go, especially with
what we did over the summer and even last
year in getting such a deep roster, them mak-
ing moods and putting a good product on the
oor. Its up to us now to go out and play.
The Warriors are counting on Curry to form
half of the new franchise tandem.
Curry is expected to team with center
Andrew Bogut, who didnt play in the presea-
son. The team has said Bogut has not had any
setbacks on his surgically repaired left ankle,
which he fractured on Jan. 25 while with
Milwaukee and missed the rest of the season.
Bogut came to Golden State in a swap for
guard Monta Ellis, among others, before last
seasons trade deadline. Bogut had hoped to
return for the season opener, but the team
never set any deadline, and even if the 7-foot-
er from Australia played it likely wont be for
extended minutes.
Curry sat out the last two exhibitions after
he sprained his right ankle at Portland on Oct.
19. The former Davidson star and native of
Charlotte, N.C., drafted seventh overall by the
Warriors in 2009, had arthroscopic surgery in
April and had surgery to repair a tendon in the
ankle in the summer of 2011.
Golden State signed Curry at somewhat of a
discount. Ty Lawson signed a four-year, $48
million extension with the Denver Nuggets on
Tuesday. Without the ankle concerns, Curry
wouldve likely commanded at least that
much.
Right now, for them to offer me what they
did after what Ive been through says a lot
about, one, where my ankle is now, but, two,
just their faith in what I can do, Curry said.
Obviously things would have been different
playing out the year, me playing well, next
year I dont what the number would have
been, but thats not even a question Im asking
myself now.
The Bogut-Curry combo has enough sup-
port around it for the Warriors to believe they
have a strong shot to make the playoffs for
only the second time since 1994 if all can
stay healthy, which hasnt been the case in
recent seasons.
Power forward David Lee, who has aver-
aged close to a double-double most of his
career and missed the end of last season fol-
lowing surgery to repair a torn abdominal
muscle, will start along with second-year
shooting guard Klay Thompson and seventh
overall pick Harrison Barnes of North
Carolina at small forward.

Stephen Curry
Golden State begins
season with a victory
PHOENIX Carl Landry scored 14 of his
17 points in the fourth quarter and the Golden
State Warriors overcame an awful post-con-
tract night by Stephen Curry to beat the
Phoenix Suns 87-85 in the teams season
opener Wednesday.
Curry, who earlier in the day agreed to a
four-year, $44 million extension with the
Warriors, missed his rst 10 shots from the
eld and wound up 2 of 14 with ve points.
He missed two free throws with 4.4 seconds
left to allow the Suns a chance at a game-win-
ning shot, but Sebastian Telfairs 3-point
attempt came after the buzzer, and misred
anyway.
Goran Dragic had 17 points and Luis Scola
added 15 points and 11 rebounds in the Suns
rst game in the post-Steve Nash era.
Marcin Gortat had 10 points and nine
rebounds and matched his career best with
ve blocked shots for the Suns, who have only
ve players back from last seasons roster.
Klay Thompson was the only Warriors
starter in double gures with 16 points. He
made just 6 of 16 shots but was 4 of 7 on 3-
pointers and grabbed eight rebounds. Brandon
Rush added 14 points for Golden State, all in
the rst half.
Andrew Bogut, playing for the rst time
since breaking his left ankle last Jan. 25, had
eight points and six rebounds in 18 1-2 min-
utes for Golden State.
The Warriors outscored the Suns 17-4 to
start the second quarter to go up by 17 points.
Scola brought Phoenix back, scoring nine
points in a 13-2 run that cut Golden States
halftime lead to 48-42. On consecutive Suns
possessions, he made a 19-footer, 18-footer
and 24-footer. The last basket was his second
career 3-pointer, in 18 attempts.
Down 59-51 after Thompsons 3-pointer
with 6:17 to play in the third quarter, the Suns
went on a 15-6 run to take a 67-65 lead enter-
ing the fourth. Dragic started it with a 3, and
Gortats rebound basket put Phoenix ahead
63-62. Jared Dudley made one of two free
throws to boost the lead to 64-62 with 2:18
left in the quarter.
The run reached 23-7 when Shannon Brown
made a free throw on a defensive 3-second
call to put the Suns ahead 74-66 with 8:41 to
play. Landry, though, kept coming at the Suns,
with short- to mid-range jumpers and baskets
around the hoop.
Currys night of futility ended when, after
misring 10 times, he hit an 18-footer with
8:40 to play. The basket triggered a 10-2 run
that tied it at 76-76 on Landrys dunk with
5:32 to play. P.J. Tuckers inside basket put
Phoenix back on top, 78-76, then Thompsons
fourth 3-pointer of the game gave the Warriors
a 79-78 lead with 4:42 to play.
Scolas turnaround 9-foot bank shot gave
the Suns their nal lead, 84-83, with 1:43 to
play. Landrys dunk put Golden State ahead
85-84, then his 17-footer put the Warriors
ahead 87-84 with 54 seconds to go.
Dragic made one of two free throws with
5.6 seconds left to cut the lead to 87-85, and
Curry, the Warriors best free throw shooter on
most nights, missed two from the line with 4.4
seconds left. Dragic brought the ball down-
court but instead of taking the shot, passed to
Telfair.
Notes: Suns coach Alvin Gentry and C
Jermaine ONeal drew technical fouls in the
first half. ... Phoenix, San Antonio and
Cleveland are the only NBA teams with three
international players on their roster. ... Bogut
missed the nal 52 games of last season. He
was traded by Milwaukee to Golden State 1 1-
2 months after he was hurt.

Bearcats jumped on the loose ball
and, on the next play, scored a
touchdown.
I dont know who to blame. Im
not trying to purposely pick on
Cap. The Mustangs were just the
most recent team Ive seen confuse
the two, distinct parts of the kick-
ing game. They werent the rst
and I can guarantee you, they
wont be the last.
I cant imagine coaches arent
teaching their players the differ-
ences between punts and kickoffs.
Im going to put the onus on the
players. Hey guys, if youre going
to play the game of football, learn
the game of football. Dont just
tune out the game once practice is
over. Check out a college game on
television Saturday afternoons or
watch NFL games Sunday.
And dont just see these
games, watch them. Maybe you
can pick up something from your
older, more experienced counter-
parts that you can include in your
game. At the very least, youll
learn something about the game
youre playing.

Im a big proponent of rewarding
the players who do the work with
scoring the points. There has been
no bigger tragedy in sports than
former Chicago Bears coach Mike
Ditka letting William The
Refrigerator Perry score a touch-
down at the expense of the late
Walter Payton during the Bears
46-10 win over New England in
Super Bowl XX (thats 20 for you
who are Roman numeral decient).
Perry was a rookie defensive end
who became a novelty fullback,
while Payton was the face of the
NFL at the time.
So I was surprised when El
Caminos Anthony Hines wasnt in
the backeld when the Colts scored
on the rst play of the fourth quar-
ter. He had just ripped off an 84-
yard run down to the Mills 1-yard
line on the nal play of the third
quarter. But when the teams
switched ends of the eld, it was
Josh Paed who ended up going the
nal yard for the touchdown.
After the game, I jokingly chas-
tised El Camino coach Mark
Turner for not giving the ball to
Hines after he brought the ball to
the 1. Turner took the ribbing in
stride, saying, Hey, he should
have nished the job. Hes a track
guy, a jumper. I told him he needs
to be a sprinter.
Turner went on to say he didnt
sub Hines out of the game. He said
as he was preparing to call the next
play, he saw Hines had walked to
the sideline on his own.
He took himself out of the
game, Turner said with a laugh.
I guess I cant blame Hines. On
two carries in the second half, he
gained 149 yards on runs of 65 and
84 yards. He must have been tired.

The Caada womens golf team
wrapped up the Central Valley
Conference championship by win-
ning yet another conference tourna-
ment. This time, the Colts dominat-
ed Riverside Golf Course in
Fresno, with three players shooting
rounds in the 70s. They outdis-
tanced runner-up Fresno, shooting
a 306 to the Rams 327.
Weve had three or four
(golfers) in the 70s the last four
matches, said Caada coach Rick
Velasquez.
Sarah Rotter red a 1-under 72
on the par-73 course to earn low
medalist honors. She was followed
by Shannon Wongs 76 and Annika
Nousiainens 76. Mehreen Raheel
shot an 83 while Hannah Murray
nished with a 91.
By winning the conference title,
the Colts qualied as a team for the
Northern California championship
Monday and Tuesday in
Sacramento. A top-two nish
among the ve team that qualied
for Nor Cals will move on to the
state tournament.
Theyre peaking at the right
time, Velasquez said of his team.
Even if Caada fails to qualify
for the state tournament as a team,
the Colts have a good shot of quali-
fying individuals for the nal tour-
nament of the season.
Weve always taken a few (indi-
viduals to the state tournament),
Velasquez said. We have a good
chance of getting a few to state
(this year).

ALAMEDA After a rough
adjustment when he rst made the
move from safety to cornerback for
the Oakland Raiders, Michael Huff is
now starting to feel right at home at
his new position.
Huff has provided lock-down cov-
erage on the outside the past few
weeks to bolster a banged-up second-
ary that has been missing both start-
ing cornerbacks Ron Bartell and
Shawntae Spencer because of injuries
since midway through the second
game of the season.
That led to the Raiders moving
Huff from free safety, where he could
survey the entire eld, to cornerback,
where his main responsibility was
shutting down one receiver.
He has made quite the adjustment.
It wasnt quick enough for me,
Huff said. I had those couple of
rough games early. I knew Id go
through some growing pains. I had
never really played outside for a
whole stretch. I knew Id go through
some growing pains and Im starting
to learn from them.
After being picked apart for 12
catches on 17 attempts by
Pittsburghs Ben Roethlisberger and
Denvers Peyton Manning in his rst
two games, according to game chart-
ing by Pro Football Focus, Huff has
shown marked improvement since
the bye week.
Atlantas Matt Ryan went after him
repeatedly three weeks ago, but Huff
more than held his own, allowing ve
catches for 62 yards on 12 attempts.
He also intercepted one pass and
broke up three others as his increased
condence showed up on the eld.
I kid him all the time. I think hes
a lot better corner than he is safety,
Bartell said. Ive been impressed
with Huff. Thats tough to ask a guy
to do. He hasnt played a lick of cor-
ner all camp and all OTAs and then
guys go down and hes able to go in
in a pinch. Hes gotten better every
game, and he takes pride in it. Im
really impressed with him.
Huff said going up against accom-
plished passers like Roethlisberger
and Manning his rst two games has
paid dividends. He has had nearly air-
tight coverage the past two games.
According to Pro Football Focus,
Huff has been in coverage for 84
snaps the past two weeks and allowed
just one catch for 2 yards on seven
throws his direction in that span.

air-tight defense in the second half.
I think it was a more focused effort,
Pollack said of the defensive effort in the
games latter stages. They came out in the
second and were more gap-t sound, played
harder and got after it, basically shut them
down. I think there was a little bit of get-after-
it-ness and a little bit of gap integrity.
But Butte wasnt the best defense in the
conference coming into the game on accident.
They took away the CSM rushing attack, lim-
iting them to 143 yards the lowest total that
Pollack says he can remember.
Unacceptable, Pollack said of the effort.
Didnt play well. Didnt protect the quarter-
back. Quarterback didnt make good reads.
Didnt protect the ball. You cant win not rush-
ing the ball well, not protecting the quarter-
back, turning the ball over.
They took away the run. And we took it
away. Give them credit and be honest at the
same. And then when it came down to throw-
ing the ball, we were just inconsistent. We
made big plays of it, no doubts. But we
werent effecient enough and didnt protect
the quarterback. And we had timely penalties.
You cant make those mistakes. One of the
biggest weapons in pass protection is the
threat of the run. So, they cant dial up blitzes.
They cant go pass-happy mode. Number two,
we had some assignment errors. But thats not
an excuse. The next guys has to step up and
play.
And so, with the 1-2 record, it becomes a 2-
game season for the Bulldogs.
In this conference, you win [it] you play
for the state championship, Pollack said.
You get six wins, you play in a bowl game.
Rankings dont mean anything. All that other,
it really doesnt matter. It means nothing to
me.
What does have meaning is the game
against De Anza College on Saturday. The
main task there is putting a stop to the Dons
signal-caller, Josh McCain. No. 8 leads the
conference in passing.
Their quarterback is explosive, Pollack
said, he runs around, breaks contain, broken
plays makes things happen. Hes not efcient,
but hes explosive. You have to contain him
force him to stay in the pocket to make plays.
And after that, theres some maintence work
to do on offense.
The effort wasnt bad, Pollack said, refer-
ring to last Saturdays game against Butte.
The O-line blocked well. We made asssign-
ment errors in pass protection. That can be
xed. We also threw the ball more than we
have had. And Butte was playing press man-
to-man. The interceptions killed us. That part
is the one we denitely have to get better at.
We didnt read it well. We didnt execute it
well. Its that simple. We took it away from us.
Its just the way with option football some-
times. Your line can block well, but if your
skill guys dont read it correctly and do the
right thing, its all for naught.
With at least two games remaining on the
schedule, and a berth in the Bulldog Bowl at
stake, Pollack reminded his players there is
still plenty to play for.
Fastback to June and July, he told the
Bulldogs on Monday, you were chomping at
the bit to play. So ask yourself, do you still
feel that way? Because, if you only get 10 or
11 [games] a year. Then youre going to miss
it pretty quick. So you better enjoy the last two
or three if we earn the third. You have to
tell yourself that because of how quickly you
can take things for granted. Its a little bit of,
people need to check themselves and realize
we dont get a lot of opportunities. Games are
rare. You need to enjoy them. Get ready for
them. Appreciate them. No matter what
theyre for.
Theres a lot of things youre playing for,
even if the state championship isnt in the
cards. Youre playing for a standard of excel-
lence. We get to our bowl game. Its called the
Bulldog Bowl because we play in the
Bowldog Bowl not the Doritos Bowl. We get
in that in the bowl game because thats the
standard. Thats what we expect. Thats why
you came here to fulll that obligation.

NYC Marathon to go on
NEW YORK The New York City
Marathon is a go for Sunday, and while logis-
tical questions persist one thing is certain: The
26-mile route will have a disaster for a back-
drop.
And a debate.
I think some people said you shouldnt run
the marathon, Mayor Michael Bloomberg
said at a news brieng Wednesday. Theres
an awful lot of small businesses that depend
on these people. We have to have an economy.
Theres lots of people that have come here. Its
a great event for New York, and I think for
those who were lost, youve got to believe
they would want us to have an economy and
have a city go on for those that they left
behind.
Race organizers were still trying to assess
how widespread damage from Superstorm
Sandy might affect plans, including getting
runners into the city and transporting them to
the start line on Staten Island. Easing their
worries a bit was news that 14 of the citys 23
subway lines were expected to be operating by
Thursday morning - though none below 34th
Street, an area that includes the terminal for
the ferries that go to the island.
And there were runners like Josh Maio who
felt torn about whether the race should go on.
It pulls resources and focus away from
people in need, said Maio, who dropped out
due to an injury but is coaching about 75 run-
ners.
He agrees the race is a boost to local busi-
nesses hurt by the storm it brings an esti-
mated $340 million to the city. But he is
uncomfortable with devoting so much to an
extracurricular event.
A Maryland poker professional
won the World Series of Poker main
event, outlasting his nal opponents
in a marathon card session of nearly
12 hours for the $8.53 million title
on Wednesday.
Greg Merson emerged with the
title before dawn in Las Vegas after
a session that proved a showcase for
his skills amid the unpredictability
of tournament no-limit Texas Hold
em.
On the last hand, Merson put Las
Vegas card pro Jesse Sylvia all-in
with a king high. Sylvia thought
hard, then called with a suited
queen-jack.
This whole stage is nothing you
could ever prepare for, Merson
said.
Mersons hand held through the
community cards two sixes, a
three, a nine and a seven to put
his name alongside former champi-
ons including Doyle Brunson, Phil
Hellmuth and Johnny Chan.
After an exhausting session, hes
ready to join them.
I feel pretty good got all the
tears out so, now I feel relaxed,
Merson said.
The 24-year-old Merson pushed
past Hellmuth for the series Player
of the Year honors, proving himself
the top performer throughout this
years series of card tournaments in
Las Vegas and Europe. Merson also
won a tournament bracelet this sum-
mer in Las Vegas for a no-limit
Texas Hold em 6-handed tourna-
ment.
The 26-year-old Sylvia won $5.3
million for second place.
That was nuts, man, he said.
Mersons victory came after the
pair outlasted the last amateur at the
table, 21-year-old Jake Balsiger.
The Arizona State senior hoping to
become the youngest World Series
of Poker champion was eliminated
in third place, more than 11 hours
into the marathon.
Balsiger gambled his last chips
with a queen-10 and was dominated
by Mersons king-queen. Mersons
hand held through ve community
cards, forcing Balsiger to exit no
richer than when he started the
nale on Tuesday.
The political science major, who
has vowed to graduate, won $3.8
million.
I have some homework due
tomorrow, my Supreme Court
class, Balsiger said. I didnt do it
last week because I was in a nal
table simulation, so my professors
probably not the happiest with me.
Before Balsiger was eliminated,
the players set a series record by
pushing beyond 364 hands at the
nal table. Balsiger lost on hand
382, while Sylvia lost on hand 399.
All three players traded chips, big
bluffs and wild hands during their
marathon run.
It was kind of swinging, emo-
tionally, Sylvia said.

JULIO LARA/DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Giants manager Bruce Bochy rides into the victory parade
holding the Commissioners Trophy.
Giants fans cheer in their team at the victory parade.
Casandra Buenrostro, 25, who arrived
at the plaza at 5 a.m. so she could get
pictures of Sandoval, did.
He made me cry, Buenrostro said.
Hes an inspiration.
Earlier in the day, clouds of black,
orange and white confetti were shot
from cannons positioned on roofs and
along the canyon-like, skyscraper-lined
street. Spectators and parade partici-
pants, who included legendary Giants
alumni Willie Mays, Willie McCovey
and Juan Marichal and politicians such
as House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi,
reveled in the showers.
The unifying energy of the Giants lat-
est victory was evident as San Francisco
49ers quarterback Alex Smith drove the
car carrying Giants pitcher Matt Cain
and his family, while 49ers coach Jim
Harbaugh did the honors for rst base-
man Brandon Belt.
The convertibles gave fans clean views
along the parade route that began at the
foot of Market Street near San Francisco
Bay and ended on the steps of City Hall,
across from the overowing plaza.
Since I was a kid, I wanted to play on
the Giants and win a World Series. So
its fun to be here, said shortstop
Brandon Crawford, who grew up in the
Bay Area.
Star reliever Sergio Romo, wearing a
T-shirt that read, I just look illegal,
whipped the roaring crowd into a frenzy
when he got out of his convertible and
mingled.
Its unbelievable! Unbelievable! Just
great! said red-up right elder Hunter
Pence, who was acquired in a midseason
deal and led pregame pep talks. At the
rally, Pence persuaded his teammates to
jump around the stage to demonstrate
the ritual he called the slow-clap.
I loved it when they started acting
goofy, said Janet Clark, 55. Thats
exactly who the Giants are.
With the victory parade coinciding
with Halloween, costumed masses
brought an even more festive feel to
what city ofcials hoped would be a
family friendly, alcohol-free event.
Philip and Alyssa Lozano got up in
Sacramento at 3:30 so they and their son
could catch a ferry in time to witness the
whole spectacle. Nine-year-old
Christian Lozano was dressed up for
Halloween as, what else, a panda, in trib-
ute to Sandoval, whose nickname is the
Panda.
Weve been representing the Giants
for a while and couldnt make it to the
parade in 2010, Philip Lozano said.
San Francisco police spokesman
Michael Andraychak said a handful of
people were arrested for public intoxica-
tion and ofcers issued a few citations
for ghting, but the crowds generally
were cooperative.
Some fans carried brooms as a
reminder of the Giants four-game sweep
of the Detroit Tigers. Later, San
Francisco Mayor Ed Lee handed Giants
President Larry Baer a ceremonial metal
broom to the city along with the cus-
tomary key.
Alex Warlen and Kelly Simms, both
17, were among the hundreds of people
who camped out overnight in the plaza
to ensure they had prime viewing spots.
Warlen is a pitcher and Simms a catcher
for the softball team at San Franciscos
Mercy High School. The team is co-
champion of its division.
Buster is the reason Im a catcher,
read a sign Simms carried, referring to
the Giants Buster Posey. The high
school seniors said Mercy administrators
gave students the day off, so they
werent cutting school.
We would have skipped anyway,
Simms said.

San Francisco Giants outelder Hunter Pence tips his cap to the fans
during the victory parade Wednesday in San Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO San
Francisco Giants CEO Larry Baer
wants to add more World Series
championships to the two his fran-
chise has captured the past three
seasons.
Why not build a baseball dynasty
in the Bay Area?
Baer said Wednesday the front
ofce is already hard at work begin-
ning plans for the 2013 roster
and he is optimistic many familiar
faces will stick around, including
second baseman and NL champi-
onship series MVP Marco Scutaro.
Nobody thinks we should be
done, Baer said. I think we want
to get lots of people back, and hes
one of them. ... My favorite sign was
San Francisco, Happiest Place on
Earth. Thats how we all feel about
this. Thats what the goal is.
NL West champion San Francisco
completed a four-game sweep of the
Detroit Tigers on Sunday night at
Comerica Park. The Giants and the
city celebrated with an orange-and-
black parade through downtown
Wednesday fitting it fell on
Halloween.
General manager Brian Sabean
called it a priority to re-sign
Scutaro, center elder Angel Pagan
and left-handed reliever Jeremy
Affeldt. So far, he said, his staff has
spoken only informally about
whats next as everyone wanted to
get through Wednesdays festivities
before starting in earnest.
Scutaro, who celebrated his 37th
birthday Tuesday and then partied
some more with his teammates a
day later before this group parts
ways for the winter, said its a no-
brainer he would like to return.
What a question. Of course I
want to come back, Scutaro said.
Sometimes there are decisions you
cant control. I dont know what
theyre thinking, what other teams
are thinking. I just have to wait. The
only thing I can say is I hope every-
thing works out because I want to
come back here.
So, what will it take?
I want 15 years, three thousand
million dollars, Scutaro joked.
How do you like me now? I gotta
go.
Just like two years ago, the Giants
brass is about a month behind in
preparing for next season. Though
vice president of baseball operations
Bobby Evans has said thats a good
problem to have when it means your
team has won it all.
Pagan, too, hopes the team will
stay intact and that he remains a key
part of it as the Giants try to defend
their championship next year.
Now is for celebrating, Pagan
said. Well have time for that
negotiations. I have no words to
describe how special this is to be
able to bring this championship to
this beautiful city. A lot of people
told me before I came here how the
fans are, the great fans. But actually
to win a championship and experi-
ence it myself, I have no words.
This is truly a blessing and I hope I
can come back next year, seriously.
It would be great.
Sabean has all ve starting pitch-
ers under contract for next season,
but maintaining a dominant bullpen
will be paramount for a GM who
has long built his club around the
pitching staff.
While Affeldt also acknowledged
he would like to stay put in San
Francisco, he is seeking more than a
one-year deal to give some long-
term stability to his family with a
wife and three young sons.
Its nice to hear. Im sure theyll
be talking, Affeldt said. If it does-
nt go the way wed like it to go and
Ive got to move on, Ill never say
anything bad about this front ofce
or team. Its a special group of peo-
ple. Hopefully we can work some-
thing out. This team has brought me
a lot of joy for the last four years
and I cant complain one bit about
anybody. ... Im not looking for a
one-year deal. Ive got a family.
When you have a family and you
have an opportunity, a one-year deal
is definitely not something Im
going to do.
If the Giants can bring this group
back, everybody would be thrilled.
Yet the players all fully understand
the business side always comes into
play.
Thats not my job, World Series
MVP Pablo Sandoval said.
For now, the Giants are going to
relish in what they just accom-
plished again so soon after the 2010
championship run brought the fran-
chises rst World Series title since
it moved West in 1958.
Giants hope theyre not done winning

chair-bound, pale with a long white beard and
often times with his head bowed. The image
was a sharp contrast to the ambulatory man
who testied on his own behalf in the rst
criminal trial for molesting six former male
patients when they were 9 to 13 years old.
That trial, during which he spoke of adminis-
tering physical exams to the patients, ended
with a hung jury.
But prosecutors say those exams were noth-
ing more than a ruse for molestation.
Understanding those charges and his legal
options are components of Ayres competency
to stand trial. During testimony, psychologists
called by both the prosecution and defense
said Ayres understood many of those aspects.
The defense witness, however, said Ayres was
not competent to deal with the possibility of
incarceration prior to prison and the prosecu-
tion witness said Ayres refused to participate
in discussions about the case details.
Dr. Shawn Leppert said Ayres told her early
on they would not be working together in
treatment because the decision that he would
remain diagnosed as incompetent was made
prior to his hospitalization. Leppert later testi-
ed Ayres was very vocal about his memory
loss but that she observed different behavior
when he was playing games or seeking snacks
as a reward for attending therapy.
Ayres alleged exaggeration, or malingering
as it is known in medical circles, has been in
question since the spring when his defense
attorney had hoped for his release to a nursing
facility or home. The 90-day evaluation of his
stay at Napa State Hospital followed by a six-
month review indicated he was purposely not
taking his medication, participating in therapy
or otherwise working to restore competency
because he knew it would bring him back to a
level of awareness necessary for trial.
During this competency trial, Dr. Scott
Sutherland testied for the defense that even a
person with Ayres medical experience cant
fake dementia indenitely. Sutherland said
Ayres actually worked hard to convince peo-
ple he functioned better than he actually was
rather than the other way around.
Dr. Erin Warnick, a senior psychologist spe-
cializing in neuropsychology, testied that
Ayres tends to overinflate his memory
decits but is not feigning dementia. She and
other doctors said dementia patients have
good and bad days so it is very possible Ayres
had lucid conversations with hospital staff,
said psychologist Dr. Thomas Knoblauch.
The competency trial also included testimo-
ny that Ayres appeared to be grooming a fel-
low mentally disabled patient for sexual
abuse.
Prosecutors earlier efforts to convict Ayres
spanned more than ve years. He was arrested
in 2007 and tried on nine felonies in 2009 for
allegedly abusing six former male patients
between 1988 and 1996. Prosecutors alleged
more than 30 victims but the statute of limita-
tions had passed. The jury hung in varying
amounts on every count and his mental tness
was called into question before he could stand
trial again. The jury deadlocked and the pros-
ecution agreed to allow Ayres hospitalization
rather than launch another trial.
Ayres practice included private clients and
referrals from both the juvenile justice system
and school districts. He also became known as
president of the American Academy of Child
and Adolescent Psychiatry and for hosting the
sex education series Time of Your Life.
Ayres received juvenile court referrals up
through 2004.
San Mateo police rst began looking at
Ayres in 2002 after a former patient accused
him of molestation during the 1970s when he
was 13. After a U.S. Supreme Court ruling on
the statute of limitations nixed criminal pros-
ecution, the victim and Ayres reached a con-
dential settlement in July 2005. In a deposi-
tion for the lawsuit, Ayres reportedly admitted
conducting physical exams of patients as part
of his care.

CAIRO Egypts capital prides itself on
being city that never sleeps, with crowds ll-
ing cafes and shops open into till the small
hours. So, the government is facing a back-
lash from businesses and the public as it vows
to impose new nationwide rules closing
stores and restaurants early.
Ofcials say the step is necessary to con-
serve electricity in a nation buckling under
economic crisis and fuel shortages. But the
decision has a strong undercurrent of social
control: A desire by secular conservatives and
Islamists alike to tame a population they see
as too unruly, especially in a post-revolution
atmosphere of strikes, protests and relentless
demands on a beleaguered government.
Simply put, ofcials say, Egyptians should
stop thinking they can do whatever they want,
should go to sleep early and work in the
morning.
Egyptian life has turned nocturnal. Egypt
should not be a nocturnal state, but a morning
state like all countries, Legal Affairs
Minister Mohammed Mahsoub, an Islamist,
told reporters on Wednesday. Energy,
endeavor, labor and working hard should be
the foundation.
I call on all those thinking of opposing
this to think about themselves when
should they wake up and go to sleep and
when do their kids go to bed and wake up,
he said. This is really a behavioral issue.
He and other officials said the regulations
will come into effect on Saturday. Under the
new rules, shops would be required to close
at 10 p.m. and restaurants and cafes at mid-
night. Businesses that have a tourism license
which comes at a fee would be
exempted, meaning that most bars and
upscale restaurants would stay open later.
Violators would face a fine and, if they per-
sist, closure.
But many are furious over what they see as
an outright violation of the nations psyche.
The proposed regulation has dominated the
national conversation for weeks. Opponents,
including chambers of commerce around the
country, warn that it will damage an already
suffering economy. Those who work night
shifts will lose their jobs and, with Egyptians
unable to shop late, sales will be stied and
small businesses will be forced to lay off
workers, they say.

Strolling down a street in Boston recently,
my wife and I were hit by the unmistakable,
wonderful aroma of sauteing garlic wafting
from an Italian restaurant. Our rst impulse,
naturally, was to go in and eat. Unfortunately,
wed just had lunch.
The second thing that popped into my mind
was that it is time to plant next years crop of
garlic in our garden.
Garlic, unlike most vegetables, is planted in
the fall for harvest the following summer.
Most gardeners dont think about planting
anything edible at this time of year. Many
have only just found a way to ofoad their
bumper crop of 25-pound zucchini.
If youve never tried growing garlic, you
need to know that it couldnt be easier than it
is. After you harvest the rst crop, youll won-
der why you didnt start growing it sooner.
Garlic is adaptable to a variety of soils, but
prefers to grow in well-drained soil that is rich
in organic matter. Young starter bulbs should
be planted about 4 to 6 weeks before the
ground freezes to allow them time to root
before winter arrives. Garlic bulbs prefer cool
soil and will be happy when temperatures
start to fall.
Prepare your bed by removing weeds and
tilling the soil. Adding composted manure or
well-aged compost prior to planting will yield
larger bulbs. However, most garlic will still
grow and produce bulbs in average garden
soil.
Starter bulbs can be ordered online, and
there is a surprisingly large number of vari-
eties to choose from, ranging in avor from
mild to strong. One of the best online sources
is Fillaree Garlic Farm
(www.lareefarm.com) in Washington State.
It sells certied organic garlic, has a wide
assortment of varieties to choose from, and is
ready with helpful advice.
When your garlic arrives, separate the bulbs
into individual cloves if the vendor has not
already done that for you. Garlic cloves
should be planted about 2 to 3 inches deep
with the point end of the bulb up. Space the
individual cloves about 6 inches apart with
about 5 or 6 inches between rows. On aver-
age, 1 to 5 pounds of seed should yield
enough garlic for most families.
Keep in mind when planting that larger
individual cloves will yield larger bulbs at
harvest time. If you have more than enough
cloves in your order, plant the larger ones and
bring any leftover smaller ones into the
kitchen to cook with.
Once you have nished planting, water well
and mulch the area with 3 to 4 inches of straw.
Straw helps retain moisture, keeps the soil at
an even temperature, and prevents weeds
from growing in the bed.
Be certain to use straw rather than hay, as
hay contains copious amounts of seed that
will germinate come spring. After harvesting
your garlic next summer, the decomposed
straw can be tilled into your garden soil.
In early spring, your garlic plants will
emerge as green shoots above the straw. As
they grow, they will form a stem with leaves.
When the plants bottom leaves begin to yel-
low and there are about four to ve green
leaves above the yellowing leaves, it will be
time to harvest.
Carefully remove the bulbs from the
ground, shake off any loose soil, and bundle
the plants into groups of six to eight plants.
Hang the plants, bulbs down, in a warm, dry
location with good air circulation, out of
direct sunlight, until the green parts of the
plant are dry.
Once the bulbs have nished drying, cut the
top part of the plants off and discard. Store the
garlic bulbs in a cool, dry place out of direct
light. Do not store your bulbs in the refrigera-
tor; high humidity levels there will cause
them to spoil more rapidly. Depending on
which variety you grow, your dried bulbs
should last anywhere from three to nine
months.
Now is the time to plant next years garlic
Garlic cloves should be planted about 2 to 3 inches deep with the point end of the bulb up.
Space the individual cloves about 6 inches apart with about 5 or 6 inches between rows. On
average, 1 to 5 pounds of seed should yield enough garlic for most families.

Root pruning sounds like such
a brutal way to treat a plant. Yet its
a periodic necessity once any potted
plant has grown as large as you
want it to.
Potted plants like other plants
grow, and while a 50-foot-tall
weeping g is a glorious sight on a
Caribbean island, my living room
ceiling wont allow it.
Root pruning slows stem growth,
and makes room for new soil and
new roots.
How often to root prune any pot-
ted plant depends on how fast that
plant grows, and any quirks it has
about being root-pruned. Angels
trumpet, for example, gets one
severe root and stem pruning every
year, in fall. Root and stem pruning
are needed to stimulate new stem
growth, on which is borne those
eerily beautiful, pale-apricot-col-
ored trumpets.
Potted g plants can fruit in pots
as long as they get root pruned
every year or two so that roots nd
new soil to promote vigorous, annu-
al stem growth.
In contrast, after 19 years, I have
yet to root prune my pony tail palm.
GIMME SPACE
Plants have subtle ways of indi-
cating that their roots need new soil
in which to roam. Keep an eye out
for plants that dry out too rapidly or
send roots creeping out drainage
holes. My ponytail palm burst its
pot; perhaps its time to root prune
or give it a larger pot.
Root prune any plant thats begin-
ning to look too tall or too crowded
in its pot or give it a larger pot.
Exceptions include clivia, which
thrives cramped for years in the
same pot until eventually bursting it.
The best way to tell whether a
plant needs root pruning is to slide
the root ball out of the pot and
examine it. Thick roots pressed
right to the edge of a root ball, or
circling its outside, indicate that the
time to operate has come.
ROOT SURGERY
To root prune, take a sharp knife,
grit your teeth, and slice a one-half
to 2-inch layer of soil from all
around and underneath the root ball.
The larger the root ball, the more
soil and roots can be removed.
Then go over the whole root ball
again, this time with a pronged
hand cultivator or a stick, loosening
soil and roots on the outside. Also
prune back any lanky or damaged
roots.
With roots pruned, the plant is
ready to return to its pot. Put a stone
or screen over any drainage holes,
then shovel in enough soil so that
the base of the plants stem sits one-
half to 1 inch below the rim.
Gradually ll the space between the
root ball and the pot with potting
soil, tamping it in place with your
nger tips or a blunt stick.
Watering is important during the
couple of weeks or more that a plant
is recovering from root pruning.
Right after pruning, give the plant a
thorough soaking. When new
growth begins, make sure all the
soil stays moist the old soil
because even with its reduced size it
must still support the plant, and the
new soil to encourage new root
growth there.
(Cactii and other succulents are
an exception: Let their soil thor-
oughly dry between waterings, even
after root pruning.)
Finally, prune the stems so the
reduced root system has fewer
leaves to support. Besides, the
whole purpose of root pruning has
been to keep the plant from growing
larger.
Rest assured that plants tolerate
all this pruning. Just look at bonsai
trees, whose heights can still be
measured in inches after hundreds
of years. They are kept that way
with regular root and shoot pruning.
For more about all types of prun-
ing, see my The Pruning Book
(Taunton Press, 2010).

Bush library to feature
park recreating prairie
By Jamie Stengle
DALLAS A 15-acre park at the upcoming George W.
Bush Presidential Center will recreate a Texas prairie, com-
plete with a wildower meadow, a new blend of native grass-
es and even trees transplanted from the former presidents
ranch.
Im really excited about it. I think its so pretty, so beauti-
ful, said former rst lady Laura Bush, who said she envisions
people strolling along the parks paths and picnicking there
once the center opens at the end of April.
The parks landscaping, which was just completed this
month, recreates the kind of prairie landscape that would have
existed in the area before the city was here, said Mark
Langdale, president of the George W. Bush Foundation.
The wildower meadow should include Indian paintbrush,
evening primrose, and, of course, Texas beloved state ower,
the bluebonnet, when it blooms next year.
This spring Im feeling pretty good well have some blue-
bonnets, said the centers landscape project manager Herb
Sweeney IV, a senior associate with the landscape architecture
rm Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates Inc.
The presidential center on the campus of Southern
Methodist University will feature a library including archives
and a museum. The approximately 227,000-square-foot, three-
story center, will also house Bushs policy institute.
The museum will feature a Texas interpretation of the White
House Rose Garden, which Laura Bush said museum-goers
will come to about halfway through their visit. She said the
garden, lined with trees and roses and featuring benches and a
replica of the West Wing Colonnade, will be a peaceful spot
for reection after going through exhibits covering the Sept.
11 terrorist attacks and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Theyll be able at that point to step out, and they say if you
can get out in the sunshine and outside, youll feel refreshed
and then you can go back and do the second half of the muse-
um, Bush said.
From the rose garden, visitors will be able to see a view of
downtown Dallas and also look out over the park, which will
spread out to the south behind the building.
Bush said prairie restoration is important to her and her hus-
band. Theyve worked over the years to restore the native
prairie at their ranch in Crawford, about two hours south of
Dallas. She also said it was important to use native plants and
trees at the centers park.
This is what will do the best. Itll look the best. Itll be the
most attractive because its suitable for this kind of weather,
this climate that we have in Dallas, Bush said.
Among the grasses being used is a new, hardy grass made up
of several native grasses and developed by the University of
Texas at Austins Lady Bird Johnson Wildower Center,
which has been a consultant on the landscaping. Sweeney said
itll be the rst large-scale planting of the grass, called
Habiturf.
The park includes a sloping hill that dips into lowlands,
where water gathers. The park will feature more than 900
native species of trees, including pecans and oaks. A couple
hundred of those trees came from the Bushes tree farm at
Crawford, Sweeney said.

Grapes are a great backyard choice if
youre seeking delicious juice, some
wine to savor or snacks fresh from the
vine. But look elsewhere if its low main-
tenance or fast production that you want.
Grapevines need a lot of attention and
as many as ve years to mature from bare
root plants.
Its less expensive to do grapes than
traditional landscaping like shrubs and
owers from an investment viewpoint,
said Tom Powers, author of The
Organic Backyard Vineyard (Timber
Press, 2012). The trade-out is that you
have to put in more maintenance time.
Starting a small vineyard also requires
planning. Does your preference run to
table grapes or wine grapes? American or
European cultivars? Do you plan to use
chemical pesticides and herbicides or go
organic?
Whatever you decide, dont let a lack
of space stop you, said Powers, who has
designed and installed more than 100
vineyards, primarily around the San
Francisco Bay Area.
If you are simply hoping to plant
some table grapes to enjoy for home con-
sumption, you do not need a vineyard,
he said. You can grow grapevines up an
arbor, over a fence or against a wall.
Wine grapes, however, should be trained
to grow on a trellis. That makes them eas-
ier to manage and allows the sun to reach
the leaves, which produces good fruit.
Even a few rows of vines can produce
enough grapes to make several hundred
bottles of wine every year, Powers said.
Here are some additional grape-grow-
ing basics:
Selection/hardiness: Match the
grapes to your climate by knowing how
many frost-free days theyll need to
ripen, Powers said.
Spacing: Vines planted for training
on a trellis normally are spaced 8 feet
apart, while those planted for training on
an arbor can be placed 4 feet apart, said
Gary Gao, a small-fruit specialist with
Ohio State University Extension.
Soil: Most any kind will do, but the
best are those combining fertility with
good drainage.
Sunlight: At least eight hours a day.
Photosynthesis uses energy from the sun
to convert carbon dioxide to sugar. This
is important, Powers said, because sugars
are the basic building blocks of the com-
ponents giving wine its avor.
Pruning: Once a year when the vines
are dormant. What you do for accepted
growth in summer is pull leaves, Powers
said. Strip any part of the leaf canopy that
forms around the fruit.
Pest Management: The rst step is
to practice prevention, Powers said.
Choose the right location, prepare the
soil and select the right rootstock.
Maintain the vines properly with ade-
quate water and nutrition. Always use the
least toxic method for control of any
problem.
Growing grapes can take time

staff. Tuesday night, residents in the area urged
the citys Planning Commission to do the right
thing and terminate the legal non-conforming
use for the land and keep it residential, as it is
currently zoned.
About 100 people packed the meeting to say
just why a 7-Eleven is not suited for the area,
including: it will increase trafc and crime; neg-
atively impact property values; and impact the
health and welfare of the residents in the neigh-
borhood.
The commission voted unanimously to termi-
nate the use based on the opinion that a 7-Eleven
would be especially burdensome on the over-
whelmingly residential neighborhood despite
direction from city staff not to terminate the use.
The City Council will take up the commis-
sions recommendations in November to decide
how many years a 7-Eleven or any proposed
market will have to operate on the site.
Currently, city code allows for a maximum of
ve years and a minimum of two years for a legal
non-conforming use to remain in place if the
council does vote to terminate the use and revert
the land back to residential.
Tuesday night, however, city staff indicated to
the Planning Commission that it would take at
least 14 years for the property owner to recoup its
investment in the site based on an independent
economic analysis of the project.
Some of the commissioners questioned that
assertion, however, and ultimately decided it
would be best to limit the market use to ve years
and then let the council decide how the property
owner recoup its investment.
Legal aspects
Yesterday, Councilman Robert Ross told the
Daily Journal he is trying to grasp the legal
aspects of the case and nd out the details into
why the City Attorneys Ofce gave multiple
opinions on the use of the land that eventually led
to the issuance of building permits and a signed
lease with 7-Eleven.
Theres probably three or four interested par-
ties and multiple conicts. Im hoping it doesnt
get into litigation, Ross said.
But Planning Commissioner Kelly Moran said
Tuesday night that no matter what recommenda-
tions were made, litigation was likely to follow.
Moran also questioned a process that started
with public outreach in February and ended in
the public being shut out of the process.
I feel our city has let down the community
members here, Moran said at the nearly four-
hour long meeting.
Meeting request
Tuesdays public hearing on the matter was
requested by Deputy Mayor David Lim after
hearing a string of complaints from residents in
the area.
The former Stangelinis Italian Deli & Hilltop
Market at 501 N. San Mateo Drive sat on the spot
for nearly 70 years but has stood vacant for about
two years now as the propertys former owners
and a string of developers and interested parties
tried to market the old deli for a medical ofce
use or seek plans to open a restaurant at the site.
An architect with John Matthews Architects
was even told in October 2011 by a senior plan-
ner that we do not see how a new retail use can
go back onto that site given the existing language
in the non-conforming section for the zoning
code. As weve discussed, if the property has
been vacant for more than six months, it needs to
revert to a conforming use, and we cant see any
way of interpreting that language and this partic-
ular situation in any way that would allow a retail
use to be re-established.
John Matthews Architects, in downtown San
Mateo, is owned by Councilman Jack Matthews.
Zoning code amendment
Earlier this year, Portfolio Development
Properties sought a zoning code
amendment on behalf of then
owners Isaac Choy and Susan
Lin to keep a market use on the
site after city staff determined the
use for a market at the site had
discontinued since it was vacant
for more than six months.
A neighborhood meeting was
held in February when Portfolio
sought a zoning code amendment
but residents at that meeting were
told that the amendment was no
longer required since the City
Attorneys Ofce gave an opin-
ion that the property owners had
not intended to abandon the use
of a market for the site even
though the use had discontinued
and the property had stood vacant
for so long, according to a staff
report.
Assistant City Attorney Cecilia Quick, special
outside counsel to the city, made a determination
that city code uses both the words discontinue
and abandon and that the code intends for
those words to be synonymous. She then stated
when determining whether a use has been
abandoned, there must be evidence of an
intent to abandon and that merely ceasing use
is not enough to prove intent, according to a let-
ter sent to the Planning Commission by the law
rm Aaronson, Dickerson, Cohn and Lanzone,
hired by residents in the neighborhood to try and
keep the 7-Eleven out of the area.
A building permit for minor interior improve-
ments for the market was approved Aug. 30 by
city staff.
Once the determination was made that the
retail/market use was a continuation of a legal
non-conforming use, and all other relevant
Municipal Code requirements were met, there
was no discretion under which the city could
deny the building permit. The property was pur-
chased in 2012 by Portfolio Development
Partners LLC for $1.009 million, in anticipation
of receiving this building permit and with the
intent of reopening a market on the property,
according to a city staff report.
The sale for the property from Choy and Lin
to Portfolio was nalized Aug. 26. Weeks later a
sign permit was issued for a 7-Eleven after it
reportedly inked a long-term lease with Portfolio
to open a small neighborhood serving store ...
intended to be a grocer to the meet the need for
items that a family needs between trips to the
supermarket, according to a city staff report.
Hours of operation
The company has even offered to close its
doors between the hours of 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. and
will open without the sales of beer and wine,
according to the staff report.
Residents at the Tuesday meeting chuckled
loudly when those comments were made and
many said that 7-Elevens major prot margins
are from the sales of alcohol and cigarettes.
The city does not distinguish between a mar-
ket that closes early to one that stays open all
night and technically any retail market in the city
can stay open 24 hours a day without the need
for a special-use permit, according to city code.
Commissioners questioned that policy, how-
ever, and wanted a review of how legal non-con-
forming uses are handled.
They also questioned why the city staff report
indicated that police did not see a 7-Eleven as
being especially burdensome despite testimony
from police ofcials who indicated otherwise.
Potential police hot spot
San Mateo police Sgt. Dave Norris told com-
missioners that the department expects the new
7-Eleven to have the potential to be a new hot
spot for police calls.
Currently, the 7-Eleven in downtown San
Mateo is ranked second in the city for police
calls as the Safeway on El Camino Real ranks
rst.
The 7-Eleven at the Delaware Center has had
383 police responses in the past two years, or
about 192 a year, Norris said.
Most of the calls, about 57 percent, occurred
between the hours of 9 p.m. and 8 a.m., accord-
ing to a police department report.
Between January 2007 and August 2010,
Stangelinis had just 22 calls for service over the
entire span although the store closed much earli-
er, Norris said.
Residents in the San Mateo Heights area sus-
pect a new 7-Eleven in the area will attract much
more police presence than the former deli did.
Moran said residents would likely put the
police department on speed dial to make com-
plaints about the market once it comes in.
The potential for police calls will be an
undue burden, Moran said.
She also told ofcials with 7-Eleven: I think
it will be unpleasant for you to do business in
this location.
Property rights
Attorneys for both 7-Eleven and Portfolio
praised the city staff report, however, indicating
why the property owner had the right to open a
7-Eleven at the site after the legal opinion came
in that there was no intent to abandon the use of
a market on the property.
The company signed a 10-year lease and has
already invested a great deal of money into the
site, according to the companys legal counsel.
The city attorney and planning department
nd no reason to terminate use, 7-Eleven attor-
ney Stephen Jamieson said at the meeting.
There is no legal basis to terminate use.
The residents attorney, however, wrote in a
letter to the Planning Commission that even if
the non-conforming use was not terminated, the
7-Eleven would be an illegal extension and
intensication of the previous legal non-con-
forming market/deli use.
Whatever the council decides, however, will
likely lead to some litigation.
Portfolio owners have already indicated they
are not happy with the results of Tuesday nights
vote.
For now, Id say that they were quite dis-
mayed that the commissioners ignored the evi-
dence presented by city staff and made ndings
that have no factual basis simply speculation.
Should the City Council also ignore the hard evi-
dence and make decisions without factual basis
and deny PDP their constitutional protections
and ability to recoup their investment then
there clearly will be no other option than to sue,
a source close to the property owners wrote the
Daily Journal in a email.
Lim, who requested the hearings into whether
to terminate the non-conforming use, told the
Daily Journal yesterday he will wait until the
issue comes before the council before weighing
in on it.
The council is expected to take up the item at
its Nov. 15 meeting.

the district of negligence for hiring
Bogdis and adds that the teachers
aides who saw the abuse failed to
immediately report it. Second, five
instructional aides filed a lawsuit
against the district requesting to get
their jobs back, money covering lost
income and legal fees and to clear the
incident from their employee records.
Protecting our students and keeping
them safe at all times has always been
our top priority, said district spokes-
woman Naomi Hunter. Any time
RCSD staff become aware of or have
reason to believe that something might
be wrong, they have not only a moral
and ethical responsibility to report it to
[Child Protective Services], but a legal
obligation to do so.
Bogdis, a five-year employee of the
district, is accused of slapping a stu-
dent, twisting a students wrist and
kicking the back of a chair, causing a
desk to move forward and strike a stu-
dent. She is also accused of depriving a
child of food and kicking a child in the
stomach.
The two victims alleged in the crimi-
nal case were her students at Roosevelt
Elementary School where she taught a
group of 3- to 5-year-old developmen-
tally challenged children. The day after
Bogdis initial arraignment in March,
district officials said an independent
investigation showed six employees
knew of the possible abuse but did not
alert anybody as mandated by law.
The suit from the mother accuses the
district of not having trained profes-
sionals. It also accuses the instruction-
al aides of not reporting abuse, which
could have stopped the situations soon-
er. As a result, her son was pulled out
of Roosevelt, put in a different school,
required therapy, spent time in the hos-
pital and continues to exhibit combat-
ive and self-destructive behavior,
according to the lawsuit.
We cant provide any specifics due
to student privacy concerns, but the
district has done everything it can to
address the concerns raised by families
of the students in the affected class-
room, Hunter said.
Employees who lost their jobs are
hoping to reverse the boards decision.
In the writ of mandate submitted for
one employee, they question findings
of the board that led to the decision to
let the employees go. Employees claim
proceedings were unfair, included evi-
dence obtained in violation of civil
rights and did not contain enough evi-
dence to terminate employees. Within
the writ, it says the aides put together a
log of suspicious behavior by Bogdis
which was given to the district in
February.
Hunter said, the district went to
great lengths to ensure that their due
process rights were scrupulously fol-
lowed and it stands behind the decision
to end their employment.
As a result of the abuse allegations,
the district increased the resources
available to all staff regarding mandat-
ed child abuse reporting. All new
employees are required to complete an
approximately 45-minute online train-
ing that has recently become available
to districts, Hunter said. Also, district
administrators and current staff mem-
bers have taken this training.
After Bogdis arrest, she was placed
on administrative leave and has a court
order barring her from campus, its
employees and all students. She is also
barred from having contact with
minors.
She is free on a $15,000 bail bond.
Bogdis is expected to stand trial for the
charges in December.

Spider-Man co-creator
talks to arts school
SAVANNAH, Ga. Before he
scripted the first adventures of Spider-
Man and the Fantastic Four, a young
Stan Lee launched his career in comic
books as a lowly sidekick. To hear Lee
tell it, the artists he worked for as a
teenage assistant in 1940 might as well
have dubbed him the Anonymous
Eraser-Boy.
They gave me a big eraser and I had
to go over the pages to make sure the
pencil marks didnt show, after artists
finished their drawings in black ink,
Lee said Wednesday as he revealed this
to an awe-struck classroom of art stu-
dents on the Georgia coast. You guys
are actually drawing. I never got past
erasing.
It doesnt take a comics geek to
know Lee leaped beyond erasing to
became the head writer and editor of
Marvel Comics in the 1960s, when his
collaborations with artists unleashed
the Incredible Hulk,
the X-Men and Iron
Man among a seem-
ingly endless parade
of superheroes. Half
a century later, at
age 89, Lee is
arguably comics
biggest superstar.
He also remains a
font of inspiration to
Hollywood which finally has the
technology to recreate Lees wildest
ideas and to a new generation of
comic book artists.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 2012
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- All the ideas you
conceive will be constructive and functional, yet you
may have to water them down a bit, in order for them
to be employable by less-gifted minds.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Financial condi-
tions are a bit unusual, causing you to experience
both gains and losses. Fortunately, youre likely to be
using far more black than red ink.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Chances are youll
be far luckier when involved in independent projects
rather than group-oriented ones. Go it alone if you can.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Be prepared for a
bumpy ride in terms of your fnancial prospects. If
you keep a cool head and a ready hand, you should
be able to ride out the turbulence.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Do not discount any
hunches, especially those that pertain to your work
or career and could help advance your interests. Your
thinking is right on target.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Disengage from
insignifcant matters and concentrate on what is truly
important. Lady Luck will be on your side when you
pay attention to important objectives.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Details are extremely
important, but somewhere along the way you must
concentrate on the big picture. You can always go
back and fnesse the fne points at a later date.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- An extremely enter-
prising associate with whom youve been closely
involved in the past will be instrumental in helping
you create something that could be very important.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If youre looking to
make some kind of important deal, this could be the
day to do it. Youre apt to be far more fortunate in
striking a bargain or acquiring an important job.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Someone with whom youll
be involved could come up with an ingenious idea
concerning your work or career. Itll have a few faws,
but they can be corrected.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Be careful that you dont
unintentionally impose yourself business-wise on
someone you know purely on a social basis. Besides,
chances are youd do better without them, anyway.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Youre likely to fnd that a
development that you thought was overwhelming is
actually far less intimidating. All your fears will vanish

BEIRUT Syrian warplanes
red missiles at opposition strong-
holds around Damascus and in the
north on Wednesday as Turkey, a
key backer of the anti-regime
rebels, appeared to distance itself
from an earlier call to impose a no-
y zone.
The Syrian regime has intensied
airstrikes in recent days following
the failure of a U.N.-backed holiday
truce over a four-day holiday that
never took hold. Activists said at
least 110 people were killed nation-
wide in airstrikes, artillery shelling
and ghting Wednesday.
Wednesdays casualties pushed
the death toll since the conflict
began in March 2011 to more than
36,000, according to Rami Abdul-
Rahman, the head of the Britain-
based Syrian Observatory for
Human Rights.
Much of the violence took place
in rebellious suburbs of the capital
Damascus and in the northern
provinces of Idlib and Aleppo. The
Observatory said government jets
carried out multiple strikes in the
eastern Ghouta district, a rebel
stronghold close to the capital.
Airstrikes also hit the rebel-held
city of Maaret al-Numan, according
to Observatory, which gathers
reports from a network of activists
on the ground. The city straddles a
key supply route from Damascus to
Aleppo and has become a main
front in the civil war.
In the past weeks, the regime has
intensied airstrikes on rebel posi-
tions and strongholds, particularly
Maaret al-Numan, a city of 180,000
people that fell to rebel forces on
Oct. 10. A former resident of the
city said more than 70 homes have
been leveled as a result of air bom-
bardments this week alone.
The Syrian air force doesnt
leave the skies. When the warplane
goes, the helicopter comes, the res-
ident who identified himself as
Ahmad told the Associated Press in
a phone interview. He spoke from a
nearby village and would only give
his rst name for fear of reprisals
from the regime.
Most of the citys inhabitants
have ed due to heavy ghting,
Ahmad said.
Everyone has ed, you cant live
here anymore, Ahmad said, adding
that rebel groups, including the al-
Qaida inspired Jabhat al-Nusra, had
ocked to the area to defend it.
A bomb hidden in a garbage bag
exploded in an area near Damascus
that is home to a Shiite Muslim
shrine, killing 11 people and
wounding 39, state-run news
agency SANA said. The blast was in
a suburb of the capital housing the
golden-domed shrine of Sayeda
Zeinab, the Prophet Muhammads
granddaughter, which is popular
with Iranian worshippers and
tourists.

ATHENS, Greece Greeces
government on Wednesday outlined
the new austerity measures it
intends to take over the next two
years, a series of painful spending
cuts and tax hikes that its interna-
tional bailout creditors are demand-
ing in exchange for rescue loans.
The countrys finance minister
also submitted a revised draft budg-
et for 2013, with gures predicting
the debt load will increase sharply
as the recession deepens into a sixth
straight year. Unions responded by
announcing a 48-hour general strike
for next week, when the new meas-
ures are expected to be voted on in
Parliament.
The (euro) 13.5 billion ($17.5 bil-
lion) worth of cutbacks for 2013-14
include a two-year increase in the
retirement age, from the current
average of 65, salary and pension
cuts and another round of tax
increases, including raising taxes for
the interest on bank deposits from
10 to 15 percent.
The vast majority of the meas-
ures, about (euro) 9.2 billion, are to
be taken next year. They include a
(euro) 4.6 billion cut in pensions
and a (euro) 1.17 billion cut from
salaries. Healthcare spending will
be trimmed by a further (euro) 455
million.
Parliamentary approval of the
measures is essential if Greece is to
receive the next installment of its
bailout loans this time a hefty
(euro) 31 billion. Without the funds,
the country has said it will run out
of money on Nov. 16.
Greece outlines new austerity as debt load rises

BEIJING A Chinese govern-
ment think tank is urging the coun-
trys leaders to start phasing out its
one-child policy immediately and
allow two children for every family
by 2015, a daring proposal to do
away with the unpopular policy.
Some demographers see the time-
line put forward by the China
Development Research Foundation
as a bold move by the body close to
the central leadership. Others warn
that the gradual approach, if imple-
mented, would still be insufcient to
help correct the problems that
Chinas strict birth limits have creat-
ed.
Xie Meng, a press affairs ofcial
with the foundation, said the nal
version of the report wil be released
in a week or two. But Chinese
state media have been given
advance copies.
