Culinary artist to hit San Mateo this weekend

Ray L. Duey turns regular produce into extraordinary creations
By Angela Swartz
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Nicknamed Chef Garnish, Chef Ray

L. Duey will be churning out turnip
daisies, elaborate watermelon flowers,
cantaloupe roses, eggplant leaves and
other creations at this weekends San
Mateo Harvest Festival.
The culinary artist, who is a certified
executive chef through the American
Culinary Association and calls Lodi
his home base, travels around the
country demonstrating his fruit and
vegetable carving skills in order to
teach others how to sculpt pretty much

any produce into decorations or

arrangements.
Now my focus is mostly on demoing and teaching other people a skill
they never thought they had, Duey
said. I will keep doing this until Im
dead.
The Tacoma, Washington native
moved to Torrance, California, years
ago and took a job in catering. He has
been in the culinary field since 1976
and recounts a time he was almost fired
from a job because he didnt know how
to do carvings.
You fake it til you make it, he
said. Now, decades later, Im a little

closer. You start out and its your job

and then its not really a job, then you
like it, then you love it, then its just
short of insane; its just what you live
for.
He went full time on carving in 2005
and travels year-round to places like
Las Vegas, Los Angeles and New York
to teach private classes and attend
festivals like the Harvest Festival.
Hes even claimed the top prize on a

Gas to be

A hiker scales down a steep informal path at the base of Sugarloaf Mountain into Laurelwood Park in San Mateo. Sugarloaf
Mountain can be seen from a Ralston Avenue vista point.

Hikers, city seek to create trails

NEW YORK The average price of gasoline will be

below $3 a gallon in 2015, the government predicted
Wednesday. If the sharply lower estimate holds true, U.S.
consumers will save $61 billion on gas compared with this
year.
In a monthly report, the Energy Department reduced its
forecast for global oil prices next year by $18 a barrel to
$83. Weakness in the global economy will crimp demand
for oil, while production in places like the U.S. keeps rising.
The result: Drivers will pay $2.94 per gallon on average

SAN FRANCISCO Gun owners and advocates scored

another big legal victory Wednesday in their quest to loosen
restrictions on carrying concealed weapons in California.
A divided federal appeals court kept in place a ruling
requiring the San Diego County sheriff to issue concealed

one, a standard that all California sheriffs and police chiefs

Drone sightings up dramatically

WASHINGTON More than a million small drone aircraft have been
sold in the past few years, and a growing number of them are turning up in
the skies near airports and airliners,
posing a risk of collision. Reports of
drone sightings near other planes,
helicopters and airfields are reaching
the government almost daily, say federal and industry officials.
Its a sharp increase from just two
years ago when such reports were still
unusual.
Many of the reports are filed with
the Federal Aviation Administration
by airline pilots. But other pilots, airport officials and local authorities
often file reports as well, said the officials, who agreed to discuss the matter
only on the condition that they not be
named because they werent authorized
to speak publicly. Michael Toscano,
president of a drone industry trade
group, said FAA officials also have
verified the increase to him.
While many of the reports are
unconfirmed, raising the possibility
that pilots may have mistaken a bird
or another plane in the distance for a
drone, the officials said other reports
appear to be credible.

City passes sanctions

for underage drinking
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

Daly City residents who let their underage

children imbibe at their homes could be
fined and held responsible for any police or
medical response under a new ordinance
passed by the City Council this week.
The council voted 4-1, with Councilman
Michael Guingona dissenting, in favor of
the social host ordinance aimed at parents
and other adults who allow underage drinking. The new regulations driven by Mayor
David Canepa gives Daly City police the
authority to cite responsible adults with a
$1,500 fine for a first violation, a $2,000
fine for the second and eventually a $2,500
fine for a third. The city can also seek to
recover costs for police, fire and emergency
services.
An ap p eal s o ffi cer i n t h e ci t y wi l l
h ear each cas e t o det ermi n e i f t h e o rdi -

n an ce h as b een v i o l at ed.
Canepa previously told the Daily Journal
the goal of the new rules are to reduce underage drinking and let the adults responsible
for the teens know they could be held liable.
He cited data from the North County
Prevention Partnership surveyed Jefferson
Union High School District students about
their social behavior.
The survey reported a huge spike in athome drinking. In 2005, 14 percent of teens
using alcohol reported doing so at home
but, by 2013, the figure increased to 44.16
percent. In 2009, 51.5 percent of the teens
surveyed said adults dont know that they
drink and, in 2013, 82.4 percent, or 8 out of
10, teens said their parents or guardians
were unaware of their alcohol use either at
home or that of a friend.
Pacifica also has a similar social host

Ebola workers ask Congress for help

By Lauran Neergaard
and Sarah DiLorenzo
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The Obama

administration told Congress
Wednesday that a $6.2 billion emergency aid request to fight Ebola is
crucial to tackling the epidemic in
West Africa and preventing it at
home, to continue the training of
250,000 U.S. nurses and other
health workers in how to safely
handle any infected patients who
arrive in this country.
These resources are essential to
stop the outbreak in Africa, and protect us, said Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention.
The Senate Appropriations
Committee on Wednesday began
evaluating the request, which
includes $4.64 billion in immediate
spending to fight the outbreak
abroad, shore up U.S. preparedness,
and speed the development and testing of Ebola vaccines and treatments.

More than $1.5 billion would be

for a contingency fund to deal with
any unexpected developments, such
as if Ebola begins spreading in
another country neighboring the
hardest-hit Liberia, Guinea and
Sierra Leone.
Sen. Barbara Mikulski, who
chairs the committee, said
Congress passed similar amounts of
emergency funding when bird flu
emerged as a possible health threat,
and for the 2009 flu pandemic.
For Ebola, we need to contain
the disease and we need to eradicate
it, she said.
But Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala.,
asked if the administration has
taken enough security measures
against Ebola, and said such a large
spending request deserves our careful oversight and scrutiny.
Shortly before the hearing started, Army Maj. Gen. Gary Voleski
said the U.S. militarys Ebola
response in Liberia will top out at
3,000 troops, 1,000 fewer than had
been planned. There is a lot of
capacity here that we didnt know
about before, he said.

Conservatives threaten New Republican senators show

immigration showdown moderated, cooperative tone
By Andrew Taylor
and Erica Werner

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Some conservative Republicans want to drag

must-pass spending bills into their
fight with President Barack Obama
over his planned executive action
on immigration, inviting comparisons to last years shutdown
showdown over the health care law.
In the Senate, Jeff Sessions of
Alabama and Mike Lee of Utah are
among those arguing to use an
upcoming must-pass spending bill
either in December or next year
to try to block Obama from taking unilateral action to protect
millions of immigrants here illegally from deportation
Congress appropriates the

money, Sessions told reporters

Wednesday. Thats a clear constitutional power. If Congress disapproves of the president providing
ID cards for people whove been in
the country illegally, then it
should not appropriate money to
fund it.
GOP leaders appear cool to the
effort since it could lead to a confrontation with Obama that, if
taken too far, could spark another
government shutdown. They have
given
the
Appropriations
Committee the green light to
negotiate a catch-all omnibus
spending bill for the budget year
that began last month. Any deal
with Democrats still in control of
the Senate would not include language to block Obama on immigration.

Low-income students
largely spared tuition hikes
SAN FRANCISCO Financial
aid and scholarships have largely
spared students from low and some
middle-income families from
shouldering the cost of recent
tuition increases at the University
of California and California State
University, an independent think
tank reported Wednesday.
The Public Policy Institute of
California said in a new report that
even though in-state tuition
increased an average of 64 percent
at UC campuses during the height
of the recession, most families
with annual incomes under
$110,000 did not end up paying
more thanks to a greater availability of federal and state grants and
aid supplied by the colleges themselves.
The same held true for families
making up to $75,000 at Cal State
schools, where the average tuition
rose 71 percent between 2008 and
2011.
Essentially the pattern has
been is that its only really the
highest-income students who have
paid the full increase in tuition,
PPIC fellow Hans Johnson said.

a 2-year-old girl to leave Costco with him
in South San Francisco Saturday.
Around 2:20 p.m., a man approached the
young girl from behind in an aisle near the
pharmacy and patted her on the head before
motioning and asking her to follow him,
police Sgt. Tom Neary said.
When suspect noticed the girls mother
he immediately left, Neary said.
The suspect later exited the Costco without purchasing anything, according to
police.
The man is described as Asian, between
40 and 50 years old, standing between 5
feet 5 inches and 5 feet 7 inches tall. He has
a medium build with dark collar-length hair
that appears to be thinning on top and a
moustache.
Anyone with information should contact
South San Francisco police at (650) 8778900.

Juvenile stabbed in
South San Francisco
A 17-year-old was attacked and stabbed
by two strangers in South San Francisco
Saturday night, according to police.
The juvenile, a Colma resident visiting a
friend in South San Francisco, was walking
on the 300 block of California Avenue
around 11 p.m. when he was approached by
two men in hooded sweatshirts, Sgt. Tom
Neary said.
The suspects walked as though they were
going to pass then suddenly attacked the
victim, stabbing him in the chest for no

Local briefs
apparent reason, Neary said.
The victims wounds were superficial,
non-life-threatening and he was transferred
to the hospital where police were contacted
just before midnight, Neary said.
Although police have little information
on the suspects description, theyre not
ruling anything out. The victim was holding an iPhone at the time of the attack,
which was not recovered, and the area of the
stabbing is known for criminal activity,
Neary said.
Unfortunately that area is a gang area
and there are crimes that can be gang initiations. At this point in time, we dont
know if it was related at all, Neary said.
[The public should] just be aware of your
surroundings, particularly when you are on
a cellphone as smartphones are targets for
thieves and these types of crimes.

Man shot, killed by police

suspected in string of burglaries
A burglary suspect shot and killed by
police as he allegedly fled from officers in
Menlo Park on Tuesday afternoon was identified as a 52-year-old Jerry Matheny and is
suspected in other recent burglaries.
Matheny, of Nuevo, is suspected in
crimes committed throughout San Mateo
and Santa Clara counties, Menlo Park
police said Wednesday.
A description of Jerry Matheny, 52, of
Nuevo, had been distributed to office workers on Willow Place as a warning prior to
Tuesdays shooting and one office employee notified police after spotting Matheny
in the area, police said.
Officers responded at 12:33 p.m. and

allegedly found Matheny in the process of

committing a burglary.
Police said Matheny tried to run and one
officer used a Taser to try and stop him. He
then allegedly pulled out a gun, prompting
police to shoot him.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators did not say whether
Matheny aimed the gun at the officer. One
officer injured his knee during the pursuit
and was taken to a hospital with injuries
not considered life-threatening.
Office buildings along Willow Place, a
cul-de-sac off of Willow Road between
Middlefield Road and Waverly Street, house
venture capital and startup firms.
Mathenys description had been distributed to employees there because of recent
burglaries where the thief would go into the
offices and take personal items from
employees, according to police.
In addition to the gun he allegedly brandished at the officers, police said Matheny
was found with a stolen wallet.
He is believed to have also been connected to other recent burglaries in San Mateo
and Santa Clara counties, police said.
The San Mateo County District
Attorneys Office is investigating the officer-involved shooting, police said.

Man arrested on suspicion

A 21-year-old San Jose man was arrested
in Daly City on Monday on suspicion of
stealing from gym lockers on the
Peninsula and may be linked to similar
crimes in the South Bay, police said
Wednesday.
An officer working in the area of the
Serramonte Center saw a suspicious car

near the Macys department store entrance
shortly after 8 p.m. Monday, according to
Daly City police.
As the officer approached, the man sped
away in the car, recklessly driving through
the parking lot, police said.
The man eventually stopped and the officer conducted a search that uncovered property belonging to seven people in addition
to numerous purses, gift cards and clothing, according to police.
The man and his passenger had allegedly
burglarized gym lockers in South San
Francisco and Redwood City before the
officer approached them, police said.
The man, whose name was not immediately available, was arrested on suspicion
of possession of stolen property, forging a
name on an access card, burglary, conspiracy and possession of burglary tools.
The pair may be linked to other locker
burglaries in the South Bay, according to
police.
Charges are still pending against the passenger, police said.

Man found dead on

jogging trail identified
A man found dead along a jogging trail in
Redwood City on Monday afternoon was
identified as a 49-year-old Redwood City
resident, according to the San Mateo
County coroners office.
Robert Acker was found unresponsive on
a jogging trail in the area of Beacon Shores
Drive and Marine Parkway at about 3:20
p.m. Monday.
Police said Monday it appeared that
Acker had suffered a medical emergency and
investigators found no signs of foul play.

U.S.-China climate deal aims to prod others to act

Scientists: Pact wont slow warming much
By Seth Borenstein
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Dont expect the landmark U.S.-China climate change agreement to nudge the worlds rising thermostat downward much on its own, scientists
say.
While they hail it as a start, experts who
study heat-trapping carbon dioxide dont
see the deal, announced Wednesday in
Beijing, making significant progress
without other countries joining in.
The math shows that even with the
agreement, the globe is still rushing
toward another 2-degree temperature rise
a level that world leaders have pledged to
avoid as too dangerous.
China, the worlds No. 1 polluter, will
still increase its emissions until 2030 or
so, under the agreement. The U.S., which
ranks second, promised to cut pollution

from the burning of coal, oil and gas to

levels that havent been seen since 1969.
But whatever cuts the U.S. makes will be
swamped by the Chinese growth in pollution over the next 15 years.
It doesnt change things much, said
Glen Peters, a Norwegian scientist who
was part of the Global Carbon Project
international team of researchers that
tracks and calculates global emissions
every year.
This is not far off the business as usual
scenario the world is already on, he said.
In 2009, countries across the globe set a
goal of limiting global warming to about
another 2 degrees Fahrenheit (1 degree
Celsius) above current levels. Peters team
calculated earlier this fall that the world
would hit that mark around 2040 and the
U.S.-China accord doesnt change that, he
said.
The numbers are just too big, especially
out of China.

BEIJING A groundbreaking agreement

struck Wednesday by the United States and
China puts the worlds two worst polluters
on a faster track to curbing the heat-trapping gases blamed for global warming.
With the clock ticking on a worldwide climate treaty, the two countries sought to
move beyond their troubled history as environmental adversaries and spur other
nations.
The U. S. , a chief proponent of the
prospective treaty, is setting an ambitious
new goal to stop pumping as much carbon
dioxide into the air through the burning of
coal, oil and gas. China, whose appetite for
cheap energy has grown along with its burgeoning economy, agreed for the first time
to a self-imposed deadline of 2030 for when
its emissions will top out.
Yet it wasnt clear how either the U.S. or
China would meet their goals, or whether

would negate any reductions in the U.S.
Still, the dual announcements from
President Barack Obama and Chinese
President Xi Jinping, unveiled Wednesday
in Beijing, came as a shock to environmentalists who had pined for such action but
suspected Chinas reluctance and Obamas
weakened political standing might interfere. In Washington, Republicans were
equally taken aback, accusing Obama of saddling future presidents with an unrealistic
burden.

OPINION

THE DAILY JOURNAL

FCC should protect Net neutrality

News and Observer, Raleigh, North Carolina

ts no small irony that President

Barack Obama supported protections for an open Internet on the
same day he arrived in China, a nation
that notoriously controls and censors
Internet communications.
The president is trying to protect
Americans from having their Internet
access and usage manipulated by a dictatorship of the nations Internet
providers. But in the United States,
unlike China, keeping the Internet
free requires giving a government
agency, the Federal Communications
Commission, the power to ensure
Net neutrality. The term means that
information moving on the Internet
except for illegal material, such as
child pornography is treated equally and not subject to blockages, slowdowns or special tolls determined by
providers.

Other voices
Net neutrality conicts with the
desire of Internet providers like
Verizon, AT&T, Comcast and Time
Warner Cable to establish fast lanes
for which users pay more to move data
at higher speeds. They say that trafc
controls and high-speed lanes are a
natural evolution of the nations
information superhighway and that
government regulations will slow
commerce and innovation.
We are stunned the president would
abandon the longstanding, bipartisan
policy of lightly regulating the
Internet and calling for extreme regulation, said Michael Powell, president
and CEO of the National Cable and
Telecommunications Association, the
primary lobbying arm of the cable
industry.
But the industrys call for freedom
is really a demand that those who con-

trol the means of Internet communications be able to shape the ow and

character of Internet content. The
president and other advocates of Net
neutrality say a truly free Internet will
be shaped by the tastes and needs of
consumers, not by the monopolies
that control the pipelines.
To ensure Net neutrality, the president called on the FCC to treat Net
providers like public utilities just as
phone companies are regulated.
The FCC should move to protect
Net neutrality. When Internet
providers le lawsuits in response,
the FCCs authority should be upheld
by the courts. The Internet is becoming the main transmitter of communications in the United States. How it
responds to the publics needs should
not be left to phone companies and
especially not to the cable titans that
have already established records of
high monopoly pricing and wretched
consumer service.

Letters to the editor

Proud of Redwood
Citys tree programs
Editor,
It is nice to report positive and
uplifting news once in awhile.
I recently participated in another
tree planting project, this one was
held at Stafford Park in Redwood City.
The Parks and Recreation Department,
Public Works and CityTrees are to be
commended for their professionalism
and improving the quality of life to
this community.
All three of these organizations are
excellent at encouraging its citizens
to participate in tree education, plantings and prunings. All of these
groups work very hard at ensuring the
trees are planted correctly the rst
time, and maintained throughout their
tree lives. Many of the cities up and
down the Peninsula should take
notice of the diversity of trees and the
correct techniques for planting that
Redwood City exemplies.
Too many of the trees I have witnessed up and down the Peninsula are
not being planted correctly or properly maintained. Please try to visit the
many parks, streets and school
grounds throughout Redwood City if
you are interested in seeing successful
tree planting programs.

been given to the voice of the voters. But did the voters really speak,
when two-thirds didnt vote, while
the one-third that did were mostly
older and more conservative people, a
pattern in line with previous
midterms? Im not sure that the missing millions necessarily were sending
a message. If there is a message, it
could be anything from for or against
what President Obama has done, or
not done, to disgust or approval of
the congressional Republicans conspiracy to obstruct from day one.
Perhaps even more important, how
did money, voter suppression and
religion affect the turnout, and the
actual voting, from the gubernatorial
level to House representatives and
senators? Have money and the heavily-funded smear campaigns taken
over? Has it come to a point where
more attention is being paid to what a
candidate claims about the opposition, and less to what each candidate
really stands for and have already
done, including what is even realistically possible to get done? Promises
are one thing, political reality something else.
And why did the young and so many
minorities stay away? Were they fed
up with politics as usual, or discouraged by all the new ID requirements
and even more limited access to
places where they could vote? These
are important questions and essential
to address for the future of our country, and the rest of the world for that
matter.
If we cant x these problems, we
may end up with even worse cases

More rail cost escalations

Editor,
The article Caltrain electrication
delayed, price rises in the Nov. 7 edition of the Daily Journal is so typical
of all these projects.
Here, we see Caltrain delaying completion of its project and escalating
the cost projection by about 25 percent, with construction yet to start.
The other day, a report was issued that
the projected cost on a section of the
high-speed rail project had risen by
$1 billion. So goes it with all these
projects.
The Caltrain project has more problems that just cost and delay. The
much touted CBOSS PTC signal system is not compatible with the PTC
system that high-speed rail is expected to use, yet high-speed rail and
Caltrain are set to share tracks along
the Peninsula.
No wonder Caltrain Executive
Director Mike Scanlon decided to
depart, but not before the agency
spent $38,000 for him to go through
a college course. I guess his
$400,000 salary was not sufcient to
allow him to pay for that education
on his own.

Banding together

erhaps I have fat fingers. Thats the only conclusion I could draw, sitting next to my 7-yearold niece at her dining table surrounded by
teeny, tiny beads and brightly colored strips of fabric.
Bottles of gold glittery glue and rubber stamps not
much bigger than the aforementioned beads awaited use
and a needle threader or two lay nearly camouflaged by
the table runner. At least I think they were needle
threaders. The tools were so small and thin they might
very well have just been a twist of dental floss lost in
the shuffle with the other zillions of pieces just waiting
to be ultimately vacuumed off the floor.
The point is, if I
could barely pick up
and maneuver these
miniature arts and
crafts components,
how the heck do
they expect somebody barely out of
kindergarten to
twist and pull and
knot and glue?
The other possibility is that my
flair for the creative
is more in line with
the written word
than the painted and
sculpted. But was I to say when Miss Mia grew tired of
her modern version of Skip-It (the thing lights up now
and lets just say a battery pack swung into the opposite
leg isnt so much fun) and turned to me.
Auntie Michelle, can we make headbands?
I felt like saying I dont know if I actually can, but
try, try I will.
Its bonding. Its beading. What could be so tough?
But five minutes in I was cursing whatever school pal
had given her the headband making kit and patting
myself on the back for delivering a birthday gift that
involved no small or moving parts. Mia is a 49ers fan
so I considered myself awesome for finding her a pintsized jersey emblazoned with the number 7 on the
back.
Its perfect! Its her age!, I said.
Um, its also Colin Kaepernicks jersey number, I was
informed by someone much more sports-literate than I.
Whatever. I follow baseball. In any case, the jersey
was received with a squeal that could break glass. I
think that was a good sign.
But back at the crafts table, I was proving myself to
be no Martha Stewart but not as bad as I had imagined. I
avoided the beads and thankfully Mia did, too. Id
achieved awesome status with the jersey; I didnt want
my inability to help her dazzle up the headband to
knock me off the pedestal.
This also explains why I didnt hesitate with a yum
when she described the yogurt sandwich she likes making pretzels, yogurt, chocolate. I did ask how she
managed to keep the yogurt from falling through the
holes in the pretzel and was met with a look that
reminded me that I am old and unimaginative. Point
taken and another reason why I doubled my efforts on
the headband.
I painstakingly colored in a star-shaped stamp and
pressed it onto fabric that could only be described as
magenta zebra print. When the glittery bow stickers
didnt adhere to the fabric I swooped in like Martha
Stewart with tacky glue and cleared the clogged tip.
When she decided that the drops of gold glitter glue for
who knows what reason needed smearing into odd
streaks that frankly werent that aesthetically pleasing,
I praised her vision. And as we gingerly walked the wet
head bands to an office corner for careful drying, I said
of course Id wear my new hair accessory. Thankfully
she didnt make me specify to work so I think Im off
the hook on that one.
In the end, I still think some of these arts kits are the
devil. Bring back Play-Doh! But I realized it doesnt
matter how fat my fingers are or how bad my crafting
ability. The important thing wasnt how I build something, just the growing bond I was building with her.

Carlmont excites in CCS playoff opener

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Carlmont may not have the most flamboyant team in the Central Coast Section,
but when the going gets good for the Scots,
not only is it evident they are a fundamentally sound team, they can really generate
some exciting volleyball in the process.
Such exciting volleyball was on display
Wednesday night at Terry Stogner
Gymnasium as the No. 7-seed Scots (18-16)
blazed through the opening round of the

CCS Division I tournament, sweeping No.

10 Monta Vista 25-19, 25-18, 25-21.
Im really proud of the girls, Carlmont
head coach Chris Crader said. Theyve been
working hard and they showed it tonight.
With the win, Carlmont advances to
Saturdays quarterfinal round to take on No.
2 Salinas. The Scots last victory in the
CCS tourney came against Salinas in 2011.
At the outset of the season, a CCS berth
seemed like it might not had been in the
cards. The Scots lost eight of their first 10
matches to start the year, including a Sept.

16 sweep at the hands of Sacred Heart Prep

which had a frustrated Crader literally shaking his head after the match.
It was a tough offseason from which to
rebound for Carlmont to rebound after losing
some of its best players to graduation,
including setter Amelia Tupou. To add to the
Scots identity crisis to start the 2014 campaign, Tupous replacement, senior setter
Laura Tierney, suffered an injury in the season opener, causing her to miss three weeks.
It always takes longer than you want for
them to get comfortable, Crader said. I

CCS opener goes M-As way

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Lanie van Linge had it all working in

Wednesday's Central Coast Section girls
tennis opener at Menlo-Atherton.
With a vicious laser beam of a forehand
which consistently crosses over net on a
seemingly forever downward plane, van
Linge got into sync from the outset with the
compliment of a fluid backhand while working the court from back to front. M-As No. 1
singles player used her arsenal of weapons to
cruise to a 6-0, 6-3 victory over Carmel senior Megan Scannell to set the tone for No. 7seed M-As 4-3 victory over the Padres.
With the win, M-A advances to Fridays CCS
quarterfinal against No. 2 St. Ignatius at Golden
Gate Park. Start time is slated for 2 p.m.
Its good to have a phenomenal No. 1
player like we do, but I think the thing that
turned the tide for us today was our depth,
M-A head coach Tom Sorenson said. Our
No. 2 and 3 doubles teams won it for us.
After van Linge tabbed the Bears first
win, M-As No. 2 doubles team of Sally
Carlson and Amelia Tiemann defeated Sally
Stilwell and Alexandra Eisinger 6-2, 6-1;
and M-As No. 3 doubles tandem Carolina
Kelly and Amanda Scandalios defeated Livia
Vivani and Kaylee Meyer 6-2, 6-1.
Then Bears No. 3 single Julia Marks
clinched the win with the fourth consecutive
victory of the match, defeating Emma
Suezaki 6-3, 6-4 before Carmel went on to
win the final three matches of the afternoon.
It helped to clinch the match when we
did, Sorenson said. It helped my condition, for sure.
Sorenson may have been experiencing
plenty of playoff anxiety, but it didnt
translate to his players demeanor on the
court.
Of course, van Linge is a fiery but composed player, as is to be expected from the
USTA No. 6 ranked player among girls 16s
in Northern California. But the rest of the
Bears follow suit. Marks said she was in the
zone to where she didnt even know her victory was the one that sealed the victory. MAs other freshman phenom, Marks simply
went about the business of dominating with

felt like, at that point, we could have been

cleaner and it hadnt come yet.
Since Tierneys return, the Scots have
seen a marked improvement on offense.
That offense was on display Wednesday.
Junior middle hitter Alexis Morrow broke
loose for 17 kills, including a flourish in
Game 3 with nine kills. She also tabbed a
.560 hitting percentage throughout.

Tierney had at her disposal. Junior outside

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Sports brief
Baseball looking for
more ways to speed up game
PHOENIX Joe Torre was pleased with
the first season of baseballs replay challenge system, even if teams were not
always sure what could be reviewed.
What the Major League Baseball executive vice president could have done without
was all the on-field lingering by managers.
A successful first season in the books,
MLB might look at tweaking replay challenges to prevent managers from stalling in
the middle of the diamond while someone
on the bench signals whether a call should
be contested.
MLB instituted a new replay system
allowing a manager one challenge per
game, another if that one is successful.
Reviewable plays covered everything from
force and tag plays to fan interference and
home runs.
Though the new system was occasionally
criticized for making long games even
longer, most managers and players were
pleased with the system they just wanted
the correct calls to be made.
But because a lot of the plays happen so
quickly, managers would routinely go out to
discuss a call on any close play to give their
own video people time to run back the play.
Some got carried away, lingering on the
field, pretending to discuss the call with the
umpires while awaiting word from the
dugout whether to challenge the play or
not.
Baseball is trying to cut down on the
length of games, not add to them, so Torre
said the rules committee has discussed ways
to prevent that from happening.
Length of games has been an issue in
baseball for years and MLB is looking at
way to speed up.

Texas high school football team makes playoffs at 0-10

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DALLAS Houston Scarborough coach

Ajani Sanders understands there are people who
dont think his 0-10 team with a 57-game losing streak should be in the Texas high school
football playoffs.
And he isnt worried about what the score
might be against perennial postseason contender West Orange-Stark on Thursday night.
Sanders talked to his players about winning
this week. Just like he does every week.

Theyve asked me ... Coach, you just got

beat 66-6. Why are you so excited? Sanders
said. All I want in life is an opportunity. Hey,
this week is opportunity No. 11.
The possibility of Texas having what is
believed to be its first winless playoff team was
set in motion earlier this year when
Scarborough was placed in a five-team district
by the states governing body of public high
school sports. Not long after, one of the
schools was almost shut down before being
spared but without athletics.

Since four teams make the playoffs,

Scarborough was thus guaranteed getting in
before the season started. The same thing could
happen next year because the realignment
process runs in two-year cycles.
So the Spartans worked out Monday in front
of a few camera crews. The opposing coach got
phone calls about what he was going to do to
keep the score from getting out of hand.
Sanders team has lost by an average score of
53-8 this season, including defeats of 66-0 and
65-0. But thats an improvement over last sea-

son, before he took over as head coach, when

the Spartans were shut out six straight games.
As much as he likes to note the improvement, Sanders isnt hung up on margin of
defeat.
And even though 672 of the states roughly
1,300 schools make the football playoffs,
plenty of teams with winning records are staying home while Scarborough plays in what
Texas kids like to call the second season,
since the playoffs go on for six games in most
classes.

49ers Aldon Smith prepares for return

By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA CLARA Aldon Smith wore a big

grin beneath his facemask, even when linebackers coach Jim Leavitt good-naturedly
let him have it after the ball didnt wind up
in his hands during one drill.
Aldon! You wont be able to sleep
tonight! Leavitt hollered as Aaron Lynch
patted his teammate on the helmet.
At his best, Smith is one of the NFLs
most menacing sack masters who instill
fear into opposing quarterbacks.
After nine games on the sideline and 14
missed the past two seasons, its unclear
how long it might take for the San
Francisco star to regain his fearsome top
form on one of the leagues stingiest defenses.
Smith believes he will be back doing his
thing in a hurry following a nine-game suspension by the league for violations of the
NFLs substance-abuse and personal-conduct policies.
You keep hearing your name, youre like
Oh, man, obviously Im missed out there,
Smith said. It just put that much more in
my drive when I was preparing, whether if it
was with my working out or whatever I was
doing to mentally be prepared to come

back. Its just something

I put in the back of my
head.
Smith is set to make
his 2014 debut Sunday at
the New York Giants in
some capacity, though
even coach Jim Harbaugh
is unsure exactly what the
Aldon Smith linebacker will bring.
Thats a good question. He did participate in training camp 11
weeks ago, Harbaugh said Wednesday. I
would refer back to last year, he missed five
weeks and was able to come back and play
snaps his first week back. So, good question. Well see, take it day by day.
The addition of Smith means a lot during a
tough week when linebacker Patrick Willis
was lost for the season to an injured left toe
that will require surgery.
Smith has been attending meetings and
working out at team headquarters, but wasnt
allowed to practice during his suspension.
The Giants are preparing for Smith to
make plays.
We know that he has been in the
building and worked in the conditioning
area. I would expect hes a player who
has been in on all the meetings and condi t i o n ed h i ms el f v ery, v ery wel l ,

Giants coach Tom Coughlin said.

Im sure that theyre just not going to
throw him out there in his first game back,
but I would imagine that he would have a
fixed amount of plays and he may very well
be in there as part of the third-down package.
Smith is enjoying all of the little things
about being part of a team again including his high-energy position coach,
Leavitt.
Geez, you guys look good! Our numbers
are growing, Leavitt cheered. Quick feet,
Aldon!
Quarterback Colin Kaepernick looked forward to seeing No. 99 across the way on the
practice field, and in uniform come Sunday.
A big lift. Hes a freak of nature on the
field, Kaepernick said. Hes a huge component to our defense, so very happy to
have him back.
The 25-year-old Smith, one of the NFLs
top pass rushers, last fall underwent treatment at an inpatient facility following his
DUI arrest on Sept. 20, 2013. Last
November, he pleaded not guilty to three
felony counts of illegal possession of an
assault weapon, stemming from a June 2012
party at his home.
In the spring, the 49ers picked up his
2015 contract option despite his legal trou-

bles. Smith was arrested April 13 at Los

Angeles International Airport. Police said
Smith was randomly selected for a secondary screening and became uncooperative
with the process, telling a TSA agent that he
had a bomb. No charges were filed.
Theres the joy of being around the team
and training and meeting and you miss the
joy of practice, Harbaugh said.
Linebacker Michael Wilhoite figures
Smith is ready to wreak havoc.
Hes been here but hes been quiet. Hes
done what he needs to do and goes home,
Wilhoite said. When you take nine games
away from a guy, thats like taking away
your job for nine of the 12 months.
Smith has enjoyed doing community
service and spending time with family and
his young son.
For those wondering whether he can stay
on the right path now, Smith plans to do his
part to earn back the trust of his teammates,
coaches and fans.
Im not going to sit here and give you
some crazy answer, Smith said. Time will
show.
No tes : LB NaVorro Bowman was scheduled for an MRI on his surgically repaired
left knee to better determine whether he will
soon return to practice and perhaps play
down the stretch this season.

Raiders QB Carr remains upbeat despite 0-9 start

ALAMEDA Derek Carrs demeanor has
stayed remarkably the same even as the
losses keep piling up for the winless
Oakland Raiders.
If the pressure and strain of an 0-9 start is
wearing on the rookie quarterback, Carr
isnt showing it.
Hes a mature guy, a mature player, wide
receiver James Jones said Wednesday. He
understands at a young age that there are
going to be times like this, in your career
and in your life. You take it and run with it,
you dont put your head down. You look at it
in the face and you fight it.
The Raiders are riding a 15-game losing
streak that predates the arrival of Carr,
Oaklands second-round draft pick this year.
They are the only winless team in the NFL
and are trying to avoid becoming just the
second in to go 0-16 in a season.
Carr played fairly well during the first two
months but has regressed the past two
weeks. He has thrown four interceptions in

the previous two games

and has completed only
one pass longer than 25
yards in that time.
That has raised concerns whether Carr is
capable of being the
franchise quarterback,
though interim coach
Tony Sparano has been
Derek Carr
quick to defend him.
Not that he needs it.
The 23-year-old Carr has a poise that
many veterans lack. He insists his confidence is high and that he isnt feeling the
heat from critics or fans.
To be honest, if you were to come and
just hang out in our locker room or hang out
in our meetings, guys are driven to get better, Carr said. When the effort goes down,
thats bad. The energy level is honestly like
were 9-0. Guys are running around still
striving to do what they can to make this
thing right.
Hopefully it will be sooner than later,
but its going to happen one of these days.

With little support from the running game

to keep defenses honest, the Raiders have
been unsuccessful in trying to stretch the
field with the passing game.
Carr completed only 58.5 percent of his
throws and was picked off twice against the
Seattle Seahawks. He followed that with two
more interceptions last week against the
Denver Broncos.
He came back to throw a late touchdown in

the loss to Denver and was thankful Sparano

left him in the game despite the lopsided
score.
I should be out there no matter what,
good, bad or ugly, Carr said. And for a
long time it was ugly. For me it was important to continue to finish. I wanted to go out
there and compete one last time and try to
correct the things wed been trying to correct all game. We got to do that.

USC focuses
on improved
Golden Bears
By Greg Beacham
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Although

Southern California is out of the
national title race, the Trojans schedule puts them in position for a big
finish to coach Steve Sarkisians
debut season.
Even after every weird thing that
has happened to USC in the past
three months, from preseason player
shenanigans to two last-second losses, Sarkisian is certain the Trojans
(6-3, 5-2 Pac-12) are focused only on
Californias visit to the Coliseum on
Thursday night.
Sarkisian has reacted with exasperation in the past few days when hes
repeatedly asked whether theres a
chance the Trojans will look past a
weekday visit from the Golden Bears
(5-4, 3-4) to their high-profile, season-ending games against UCLA and
Notre Dame.
Cal is still searching for a signature win under coach Sonny Dykes,
who has the Bears on the brink of
bowl eligibility for the first time in
three years.
None of the five teams that Cal has
beaten currently has a winning
record, but the Bear Raid offense
already has the Trojans respect.
Theyve improved drastically
from last year, USC linebacker Sua
Cravens said. Theyre no pushovers
anymore.
The Bears have lost 10 straight
games to USC since their classic
triple-overtime win over Matt
Leinarts third-ranked Trojans in in
2003.

a strong baseline presence, hardly wavering from her anchor there throughout.
Im more of a baseline player than at
net, Marks said. In this match, I just
stayed back and it all worked out.
Van Linge, though, is clearly the standout
on an M-A team which saw approximately
80 players turn out at the first day of tryouts
this season. Sorenson had the task of deciding on the final roster of 28. M-A proved to
have legitimate depth down the stretch of
the regular season, as Sorenson got all 28
players a start at some point of the year.
[Van Linge] has been better than I

thought she could be, Sorenson said. She

is a remarkable 14-year-old player. This
girl is relentless.
And just like she arrived at the outset of
the season as a force to be reckoned with in
Peninsula Athletic League play, she took
the same aggressive approach against an
older senior player in van Linges first of
what may likely be many CCS playoff
appearances.
I wanted to come out pretty strong and
play aggressively from the very beginning,
not really give her a chance to get into the
match, van Linge said. I think nerves for
her were probably a little higher because I
know she is a senior, so it probably meant a
little bit more to her because its her last
match. So, I definitely wanted to try and
take advantage of that and set the tone pretty early.

A lifer on the tennis court who started

playing at the age of 5 at the Foothills
Tennis and Swimming Club in Palo Alto,
van Linge has gone up against Scannell
before.
According to van Linge, the first time the
two played each other was when van Linge
was 10. While Scannell triumphed in that
matchup four years ago, van Linge has since
dedicated to tennis fulltime; she played soccer until a few years ago when she realized
she had the potential to be a top-tier tennis
player.
To Carmels credit, the unseeded team
played it close after travelling all morning
to see Padres first-year head coach Vi Tran
make his CCS debut. Tran was engaged in
the match to the last, with the No. 2 singles
match running the longest. It was a rewarding one for Carmels rookie coach, as the

Fueled by Morrows offensive

outburst, the Scots maintained
their intensity as Monta Vista
continued to play it close. The 5-9
juniors final kill of the night
forced match point before the
Scots closed it out.
Were just able to keep pushing
and pushing, Morrow said. As
long as the energy is up, were
able to keep up. As long as were
pushing and playing as hard as we
can, we can show our true talents.
The chemistry between Morrow
and Tierney is intrinsic. The two
have played together through each
of Morrows three seasons at
Carlmont. First they were paired
as starters on the frosh-soph squad
during Morrows freshman year.
When she was promoted to the
varsity team as a sophomore,
however, she had to watch Tierney
survive a year of limited playing
time while backing up Tupous
All-Peninsula Athletic League Bay
Division performance of 2013.
Once Tierney returned to action
in late September this season,
Morrow and the Carlmont offense
didnt exactly revel right away.
While the Scots have featured a
high-percentage attack, they have
endured low kill numbers. That all
changed on Oct. 23 when Miller
connected for a career-high 25
kills. And Wednesday, Morrow
demonstrated similar depth, but on
a playoff stage.
Its a credit to our passers, a
credit to our setter, a credit to our
hitters, Crader said. Theyre all
doing a great job; and when they
do a great job the offense looks
good.

Very satisfying, Tran said of his teams
performance. A 4-3 score. You cant ask for
any better than that.
Sorenson who has been coaching at MA since 2008 was likewise pleased with
his Bears performance.
This is one of the all-time best M-A tennis teams that Ive been associated with,
Sorenson said. Weve had a lot of nice
teams, but none nicer than this. For a public
school, this is as good as it gets.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Official: Taveras was drunk during fatal crash LOUNGE

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic St. Louis

Cardinals rookie outfielder Oscar Taveras was drunk at the
time of his fatal car crash last month in his Caribbean
homeland, an official in the Dominican Republic said
Wednesday.
Tessie Sanchez, a spokeswoman for the Dominican attorney generals office, told The Associated Press toxicology
reports showed Taveras had a blood-alcohol level five times
the countrys legal limit when he lost control of his car Oct.
26 on a highway in the tourist region of Puerto Plata.
The 22-year-old Taveras was legally intoxicated when he
crashed, Sanchez said.
Until we have the opportunity to review the official
report, we cannot confirm details, Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak said in a statement.

firsts and 159 points. Chris Sale of the Chicago White Sox
was third with 78 points.
I think Im definitely surprised, he said.
His plans after the announcement were far from flashy.
Probably go home and give my daughters a bath, he
said.
A 28-year-old right-hander, Kluber went 18-9 to tie for the
AL lead in wins. He had a 2.44 ERA in his first full major
league season and 269 strikeouts, two behind league leader
David Price.
Kluber pitched consecutive 14-strikeout games in
September, the first to accomplish the feat since Arizonas
Randy Johnson in 2004. He became Clevelands fourth Cy
Young winner, joining Gaylord Perry (1972), CC Sabathia
(2007) and Cliff Lee (2008).
Hernandez, who won the AL award in 2010, went 15-6
with a 2.44 ERA. He struck out 248 in 236 innings.
From the start, Kershaw was headed toward his third Cy
Young in four seasons.
He won the major league season opener in Australia on
March 22, then a strained upper back put him on the disabled list for the first time in his seven-year career.
Once he returned, he was nearly unbeatable and kept
looking more and more like his friend, Dodgers Hall of
Fame lefty Sandy Koufax.
Kershaw joined Koufax as one of nine pitchers with at
least three Cy Youngs. Roger Clemens leads the list with
seven.

on and off the field, he said.

Taveras hit .239 with three homers and 22 RBIs in 80
games this year. He homered against the Giants in his major
league debut on May 31. He also had a big solo drive in the
seventh inning of Game 2 in the NL Championship Series
against San Francisco.
Taveras was a teenager when he signed with the Cardinals
as an international free agent in 2008. Before this season,
he was ranked the No. 3 overall prospect by MLB.com and
Baseball America.
He was buried late last month in a cemetery near the
Dominican Republics north coast.
Taveras 18-year-old girlfriend, Edilia Arvelo, was in his
2014 Chevy Camaro when it ran off the road. She also died.
A month into the 2007 season, St. Louis pitcher Josh
Hancock was killed in a car crash and tests showed his
blood-alcohol level was nearly twice Missouris legal limit.
The Cardinals subsequently banned alcohol from their
clubhouse. As of last season, they dont provide alcohol in
their locker room at home or on the road, and dont permit
alcohol on team charter flights returning to St. Louis.
The previous pitcher with a unanimous win was Detroits
Justin Verlander, who took the AL Cy Young and MVP in
2011. A year earlier, Philadelphias Roy Halladay unanimously won the NL Cy Young.
Verlander is among six AL pitchers to take the Cy Young
and MVP since Gibsons NL sweep nearly a half-century
ago.
Kershaw became the first pitcher to lead the majors in
ERA for four straight years. He topped baseball this season
in complete games and was best among starters in strikeouts per nine innings and WHIP (walks plus hits per
inning).
He struck out 239 in 198 1-3 innings, three behind NL coleaders Stephen Strasburg and Cueto.
Kershaws crowning achievement was the first no-hitter
of his career, at Dodger Stadium against Colorado on June
18. Soon after, he was picked as an All-Star for the fourth
time in a row.
Kershaw came within one vote of being unanimous last
year. Tim Lincecum had been the last NL pitcher to win
back-to-back Cys, in 2008-09 for the Giants.
The Cy Young was first awarded in 1956. Up through the
1966 season, there was only one selection from both
leagues.
Kershaw earned a $1 million bonus, while Wainwright
gets $500,000, Cueto $75,000 and Bumgarner $25,000.
Kluber gets a $10, 000 bonus, while Sale receives
$80,000 and gets a $1.5 million boost in his 2019 team
option to $15 million.
Kluber played in college at Stetson, leaving one season
before Jacob deGrom arrived. On Monday, deGrom was chosen NL Rookie of the Year.

Jazz up your holidays with the latest in lights

By Sarah Wolfe
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Clark Griswold would be proud.

Thanks to advances in lighting technology, suburban dads (and moms) across the
country have a lot to choose from when it
comes to creative ways to deck their halls for
the holidays this year.
Forget about white incandescent lights
and animatronic reindeer.
Think lasers. Think smartphones. And
hundreds, if not millions, of color choices.

RGB LIGHTS
Single light bulbs that hold three LEDs
red, green and blue are the secret behind a
new category of holiday lights that offer up
to 16 million color combinations.
Known as RGB lights, they can be dialed
up or down in a variety of ways via a smartphone app. And because their color range is
so varied, they can be kept up year-round and
used for any number of holidays
Halloween, the Fourth of July, Easter, you
name it.
Lumenplay offers the most colors by far at
more than 16 million. The exotic lighting
system doesnt come cheap ($79.99 for a
starter pack) and is only available in 10-foot
strands. But you can string as many as 500
lights together on one controller, which
comes with the starter pack.
GE also offers RGB lighting technology
with its new iTwinkle light sets and pre-lit
Christmas trees, while Texas-based decorating firm Christmas Dicor is offering the
lights as an option for holiday customers
this year.

SMART LIGHTS
All the talk of RGB technology leads right
into the next holiday lighting trend this year
smart lights or lighting systems controlled by your smartphone.
Both the Lumenplay and iTwinkle systems
are operated via apps available for Apple and
Android phones. With just a swipe of your
screen, you can dim or brighten outdoor
lights, set them to music, or choose new colors and patterns.
With iTwinkle, you can even record a
greeting to play, like Happy Holidays or
Merry Christmas, spokeswoman Amanda
Hayes says.
Most of these apps have a range of up to
150 feet, meaning you can control the action
from across the yard or while plopped on
your couch watching Its A Wonderful Life
(or the Griswolds in National Lampoons
Christmas Vacation) for the 10th time.
No longer do you have to venture outside
to plug in your lights, says Dave Geraci
with Ohio-based Technical Consumer
Products.
TCP recently unveiled a smart home lighting system known as Connected by TCP,
which links to a homes Wi-Fi or mobile network and is controlled via smartphone, computer or a special remote.

PROJECTED LASER LIGHTS

Using small spotlights, this technology
projects thousands of tiny pinpoints of red,
green or red AND green lights onto your
home or any other hard surface. Californiabased BlissLights offers them for $179 or

This holiday season forget about white incandescent lights and animatronic reindeer. Think lasers. Think smartphones. And hundreds, if not
millions, of color choices.
$199 each, depending on whether the lights
are in motion.
To a passerby, at first glance, they look
like traditional holiday rope lights, but actually they float freely across the houses exterior, plants and more to create a display that
neighbors will think took hours to design
and hang, BlissLights spokeswoman
Natalia Barclay says.
There are no cords or wires involved with
the laser lights, says Nick Burks of Atlantabased Pinnacle Lighting Group.
For people who live in the northern part
of the country, its extremely helpful when
you have to take them down and its zero
degrees outside, he says. Instead of taking
a string of lights down in January, just
unplug the fixture and put it in a box and
youre done.

BATTERY-POWERED LIGHTS
This technology has been around a while
but was mostly limited to smaller, incandescent light strands that youd put in a window
box or small porch display.
Now they come in LED strands up to 30
feet long with batteries that are much more
powerful and longer-lasting. Many feature
auto-timers and buttons that control blinking and other patterns.
At online retailer Lights.com, you can
connect up to six strands of battery-powered
lights for a total of 600 LED lights on one
battery pack, spokeswoman Aimee Majoros
says.
You know what that means? 180 feet of
energy-saving holiday sparkle.

For some homeowners, a house is a canvas

By Cedar Burnett
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SEATTLE Its hard to miss the enormous

20-foot-wide American flag on the side of
Richard Ormbreks home. Comprised of
around 180 tiles painted with scenes of
Americana against a background of red and
white stripes, the flag pops from the orange
cedar shingles with traffic-stopping audacity.
This is actually the second major art project
that Ormbrek has put on the house he shares
with brother-in-law Bruce Edenso. The first
a traditional Haida Indian totem house
design that covered the entire side of the
home was painted in 1975 and made the
house something of a local landmark.
Many people know of one: that neighborhood house thats quirky or dramatic or a

Police and county sheriffs have the
authority in California to issue concealed
weapons permits. The applications process
has, for the most part, been left to sheriffs.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in
February struck down the San Diego sheriffs requirement that applicants must show
a good cause beyond self-defense to
obtain a permit as an infringement of the
2nd Amendment right to bear arms.
The 9th Circuit said requiring applicants to show they were in immediate
danger or otherwise had a good cause
for a permit was too restrictive. If the ruli n g s t an ds , co n ceal ed weap o n p ermi t

in 2015, 45 cents lower than this year.
Based on expected gasoline consumption,
thats a savings of $60.9 billion.
That may not seem like a lot in the context of a $17.5 trillion U.S. economy, but
economists say it matters because it immediately gives consumers more money to

bona fide art project.

But few have the inclination or the guts
to turn their own home into that house,
to view their property as a giant canvas waiting to be explored.
We needed to paint our house anyway,
says Ormbrek. And while we were mulling
over the color, we decided to make our home
look like a longhouse.
Ormbreks late wife Judy, a Tlingit-Haida,
picked the totem design, which the Ormbreks
projected from atop a car across the street
while their friend Steve Priestly painted in
the lines.
Neighbors gaped as the house was transformed, but only one seemed to mind, fearing
it would bring down property values. So far,
it seems, the Totem House has neither driven
down property values in one of Seattles

hottest neighborhoods, nor affected the

resale value of the home itself.
I get offers every week to buy my home,
says Ormbrek. Of course Im not planning
on selling the house its a very special
place.
Keith Wong, an agent in San Gabriel,
Calif., for the national real-estate brokerage
Redfin says a homes price and location are
more important than aesthetics in tight markets.
We educate our clients to look past cosmetics, says Wong. If a house has good
bones, it has lots of potential.
Wong recently took clients to see an unusual home in the Highland Park neighborhood
of Los Angeles and says the couple were
turned off more by the noise from a nearby
freeway than by the homes eclectic design,

which included a rainbow of exterior colors

and a giant statue of an insect in the front
yard. For those considering a creative
makeover to their home, remember its a fine
line between special and tacky, Wong advises. And consider how long youll be staying
there.
If youre planning on selling your home
anytime soon, its best to stick to cosmetics
and keep with the characteristics of the
neighborhood architecturally, he says.
Jay Pennington of New Orleans put a twist
on this suggestion when he offered his yard
to host a year-long musical art installation.
The double lot he purchased in 2007 came
with a dilapidated, roughly 250-year-old
Creole cottage on the property, which
Pennington wanted to use in a creative way
befitting the spirit of New Orleans.

ground checks and undergo training.

California Attorney General Kamala
Harris asked the court to reconsider that ruling after the San Diego sheriff declined to
appeal. Harris argues that loosening concealed weapon permitting standards and
allowing more people to carry guns threatens law enforcement officials and endangers
the public.
On Wednesday, the same three-judge panel
by the same 2-1 vote barred Harris and the
advocacy group the Brady Center to Prevent
Gun Violence from intervening in the case.
The court said Harris and the Brady Center
waited too long to try to interject themselves in a case originally filed in 2009.

David Beltran, a spokesman for the attorney generals office, said it was reviewing
the 9th Circuit ruling to determine its next
step, which could include a petition to the
U.S. Supreme Court.
The attorney general has also asked the
9th Circuit to reconsider a separate, but similar, ruling that struck down Yolo Countys
concealed weapons policy as too restrictive. The 9th Circuit hasnt ruled on that
matter.
After the February ruling, concealed
weapon applications spiked and counties
have reacted differently.
Orange County has issued hundreds of
concealed weapons since February without
requiring good cause, but other counties
such as San Diego have been waiting for a
final court ruling before approving applications listing only self-defense as a reason
for wanting to carry a concealed weapon.

San Diego Sheriffs Department spokeswoman Janet Caldwell said the ruling
Wednesday was being reviewed.
The Brady Center to Prevent Gun
Violence, a Washington, D.C.-based advocacy group, was also barred from intervening in the case. Center director Jonathan
Lowy said his organization is also considering its next steps.
Legal experts said the initial ruling by the
appeals court relied heavily on a 2008 U.S.
Supreme Court decision that law-abiding
citizens have a fundamental right to keep
handguns in the home for self-defense. The
U.S. Supreme Court didnt address whether
that right extended outside the home. The
9th Circuit panel concluded it did.
A right to bear arms is no right at all if
you need to demonstrate a need to carry that
firearm which satisfies the police, said
Joyce Malcolm, a law professor at George
Mason University law school.

spend on other things. Consumer spending

accounts for 70 percent of the U.S. economy.
It would be a reversal of the trend over
the last few years where consumers cant
stretch a dollar far enough, says Tim
Quinlan, an economist at Wells Fargo.
Quinlan says the price of gasoline is one
of the three big drivers of consumer confidence, along with stock prices and the
unemployment rate. Lately all three are
moving in the right direction, he says.
The average gasoline price in the U.S.
has fallen for 48 straight
days and is at its lowest
point since December of
2010, according to AAA.
That was also the last full
year when the average came
in below $3 a gallon.
Drivers are now paying

$2.92 per gallon on average, AAA says.

Late fall is often when the price of gas hits
its low for the year. The government is now
saying that these prices arent just a low
point, but instead will be the norm next
year.
Adam Sieminski, administrator of the
Energy Information Administration, the
Energy Departments statistical arm, attributed the lower pump prices to lower prices
for crude oil and weak fuel demand. The EIA
did hedge its bet on lower oil prices
though, as it cautioned that OPEC could cut
production in order to push prices higher.
The global price of crude has fallen by
$35 a barrel, or 30 percent, since late June
and closed at $80.38 Wednesday.
Oil production around the world has been
strong in recent years. A boom in the U.S.
has pushed domestic production up 70 percent since 2008. At the same time, demand

for fuels is growing more slowly than

expected in Asia and Europe because of
weak economic growth.

The U.S. economy is faring relatively

well, but more fuel-efficient cars and changing driving habits are keeping domestic
gasoline demand low. The EIA expects
demand to fall slightly next year despite
the lower pump prices.
The EIA also slightly lowered its prediction for growth in U.S. oil production
because lower prices will force some
drillers to cut back. Production is expected
to reach 9.4 million barrels a day in 2015,
down from a previous estimate of 9.5 million barrels per day. Still, that would be an
increase of 4 percent over this year and the
highest domestic crude production since
1972.

Sweet side of
growing beets
By Lee Reich
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Red orbs are rising out of the

soil in my garden, demanding to
be pulled. I will pull them, but not
all at once.
Beets can remain in place for
weeks even months to come
if leaves or straw are thrown over
them to insulate them against
frigid temperatures.
Thats one nice thing about
growing beets: You can eat them
fresh for much of the year. A
spring planting is ready to start
harvesting by early summer, and a
summer planting is ready from
September on.
Some people say those early
plantings must be harvested as
soon as the roots are fully
swollen or theyll turn old and
woody. Taint so. They do get
old, but I find that with good
growing conditions, those spring
plantings stay tasty and tender
right through fall.

TWO VEGETABLES
FOR THE PRICE OF ONE
Another nice thing about growing beets is that they really are
two savory vegetables in one.
You have those red orbs hiking
themselves half out of the ground,
and topping them are the beet
greens.

Beets greens are similar to

Swiss chard in flavor, texture and
appearance, which is no surprise:
Beets and Swiss chard (sometimes
called leaf beet) are botanically
the same species. And theyre
both in the same family as
spinach, too.

THE SEED IS A FRUIT

One not-so-nice thing about
growing beets is getting the
plants up and growing. Beet seeds
seem to germinate erratically,
even under good growing conditions.
Temperature is not usually a
problem because, although beets
sprout best at 85 degrees
Fahrenheit, they sprout pretty
well even down to 50 degrees.
(Germination is poor above 95
degrees.)
Some gardeners ensure a good
stand of plants by sowing the
seeds in flats and then transplanting (carefully!) the small
seedlings. My tack is to just sow
the seeds per the directions on the
seed packet, then dont think
about them except to water if the
soil is turning dry. Eventually,
enough come up.
Once the plants are up, they
invariably are overcrowded.
Thats because each beet seed is
actually a fruit containing one to
four, or more, seeds.

One nice thing about growing beets: You can eat them fresh for much of the year.
When you have thinned out your
beets and theyre growing well,
they need little care. They have
potential insect and disease pests,
but none usually worth noting in
a backyard garden.

VARIETY IN
COLOR, SHAPE, FLAVOR
Beets started out as a whiterooted wild plant growing along
the shores of the Mediterranean.
The plant was used by the
ancients mostly for medicinal

purposes. For instance, Pliny the

Elder, a Roman writing in the first
century, recommended beets as an
antidote for garlic breath.
Sometime between then and the
16th century, beets became cultivated, turned red and began to be
enjoyed as a vegetable.
Such an ancient plant has, as
might be expected, given rise to
many varieties. Now, you can find
cylindrical beets (Formanova),
yellow beets (Burpees Golden),
beets whose insides have alternating red and white concentric rings

(Chioggia), even white varieties

(Albino). And the varieties also
differ in flavor. For instance,
Chioggia and most cylindrical
varieties produce beets with an
earthy taste from geosmin,
which can be toned down with
such condiments as vinegar,
horseradish or mustard.
I grow the tasty and reliable
variety Detroit Dark Red (low in
geosmin), whose origin, in 1892,
recalls a time when Detroit was
better known for vegetables than
for making automobiles.

TRAILS
Continued from page 1
a San Mateo resident who sits on the
nonprofit Trail Center Board of
Directors. The top of Sugarloaf offers
some of the best views on the midPeninsula and it has not been accessible. Really theres use trails up there,
some very steep fire breaks that people hike up, but theres never been a
hiker-friendly trail to the top.
Currently, many visitors scale up
the steep slope via old fire break cuts
or have created their own paths toward
the vista. Volunteers and the city now
seek to formally align trails that were
established by repeated use and create
new access paths to Sugarloaf
Mountain from Laurelwood Park that
will discourage visitors from veering
off course and contributing to erosion.
There have been other trails that
have been formed by people [who]
find their way up there, just kind of
established over the years. Theyre a
little too steep, said the citys
Landscape Architect Dennis Frank.
[New trails would] be safer, easier,
less strenuous. Probably better for the
slope stabilization of the hillside,
too, and habitat protection.
The park off Glendora Drive in San
Mateo received a major upgrade in
2011 with the construction of a playground, restrooms, garden and picnic
areas. Shortly after, the Trail Center,
an organization dedicated to promoting trail access in the Bay Area,
stepped in with a group of hiking

more than 6 feet tall. Melons were
carved and stacked high and a sun
sculpture sat on top. The sculpture
included a working waterfall, along
with tropical birds, a papaya snake and
various tropical flowers, made of
candy cane beets, rutabagas, turnips,
chili peppers and rhubarb.
I love to carve everything from
grapes to avocados to root vegetables, he said. Each one (sculpture) is
unique in its own way.
His carvings take anywhere from 45
seconds to an hour and half. The
longest he spent carving was 10 hours
straight for a commissioned piece of
the Last Supper on five different watermelons. So what happens to the creations after theyre completed?
On rare occasions I will eat them,
he said. I have a compost pile that has
the most unusual stuff growing out of it
you can imagine.
The hope for Duey is to participate

enthusiasts to realign a user-established trail and create an easier path to

the top of the mountain. In June, the
group finished the route that fragments from the main Tenderfoot Trail
through the Oak Woodlands, according to a city staff report.
In all, the city seeks to create at
least 3.43 miles of hiking trails and
renovate about .82 miles of multi-use
paved trails, according to the report.
The city would also create formal
trails connecting to the San Juan
Canyon Open Space in Belmont,
according to the report.
Bolstering the use of the 225-acre
site the city purchased in 1986 for
$380,000 requires an amendment to
the Laurelwood Park and Sugarloaf
Mountain Open Space Management
Plan that was adopted in 2007, according to Frank and the report.
The proposed amendments include
creating direct pedestrian access to the
top of the mountain, offering a wider
variety of trail loop opportunities and
providing one route from the park to
the mountains peak that could be
accessible to a maintenance vehicle,
according to a staff report.
The majority of the trails would be
approximately 5 feet wide and constructed by hand while the multi-use
access path would be about 6 feet wide
and likely require a small trail dozer,
according to the report.
The proposed amendments were supported by the public and Park and
Recreation Commission at its meeting Nov. 5 and based on community
feedback, the city is looking into creating even more trails than proposed,
Frank and Green said.

The current paved access route

extends from the eastside of the park
near the restrooms and Green said the
Trail Center is advocating for another
mostly level trail extending from the
west side of the park.
Without the more recently proposed
trail, the city is looking at approximately $3.2 million to fund the renovation and creation of trails, signs,
bridges and steps, according to the
report.
Currently, there is about $70,000
that has been targeted toward
Sugarloaf improvements, but Frank
and Green said theyre confident labor
from the dedicated volunteers will
contribute heavily.
We want to take advantage because
its not cheap to build those trails. So
one of the advantages is weve got
this workforce out there thats just
dying to create trails up there and that
will help the city a lot in terms of providing resources, it saves on
resources, Frank said.
City staff and consultants are continuing to evaluate the efficacy of
adding new trails, considering the
necessary environmental studies
including the possibility of conducting a plant survey and preparing a
revised proposed management plan
amendment. After all of the documents
are completed, the proposal would
receive public comment and go before
the Park and Recreation Commission
and City Council for approval, Frank
said.

he said. I will be demoing and carving
up all sorts of crazy things.

include an interactive KidZone, where
children participate in hands-on crafts
like gingerbread cookie decorating
from Gingerbread-on-the-go and
Nature of Art for Kids, a company
