San
Francisco
International Airport are highlighting travel tips, amenities and the holiday experience as the holiday travel season begins
Friday.
Airport officials expect 6.5 million passengers to pass through the airport between
Friday and Jan. 2.
Thats up 5.7 percent from last year. The
busiest day is expected to be Nov. 27, the
Sunday after Thanksgiving, as more than
160,000 people go through airport gates,
according to airport officials.
The holiday travel season is about connecting people: bringing friends and family together to celebrate traditions and create new memories, airport director Ivar
Satero said in a statement. Were committed to make the airport experience an enjoyable part of this process.
Airport officials encourage travelers destined for international locations to arrive
three hours before departure and those
bound for domestic locations to arrive two
hours ahead of time.
The amount of liquid or gels that a passenger can carry onto a plane is limited to 3
ounces per item and all must be placed in a
quart-size resealable plastic bag.
More information about the latest security rules can be found at tas.gov.

to be tight.
When traffic is at or near its peak, airport

Short-term parking is available for loved
ones who want to help their family or
friends collect their baggage.
The holidays may be incomplete without
a holiday event at the airport, so this year

the airports exterior with lights.
More than 3.3 million LED lights will be
connected by over 150 miles of wiring.
A public lighting ceremony will be held

Convicted HOA
embezzler released from jail
The former manager of the Woodlake
Homeowners Association who was convicted
of embezzling nearly
$2.8 million from the
San Mateo property owners group will be released
from jail while she awaits
sentencing.
Susan Marie Lambert,
65, appeared in court
Thursday asking for her
$1 million bail to be
Susan Lambert reduced. After her defense
attorney argued she had
been a model inmate since entering custody
in 2015, San Mateo County Superior Court
Judge Elizabeth Lee ignored prosecutors
objections and released Lambert on her own
supervised recognizance, said District
Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
Lambert pleaded no contest to working
with Michael Anthony Medeiros to embezzle
millions of dollars from the massive condominium association between 2007 and 2013.
Lambert was the manager of the HOA when
she issued nearly 150 false invoices for
property improvement work that was never
done. Medeiros, who owns a painting com-

pany, would cash checks and split the money


with Lambert, according to prosecutors.
Lambert faces up to three years and four
months in state prison for her plea deal,
however, Lee indicated she wanted to wait for
sentencing until Medeiros completes his
jury trial slated to begin in February.
Lamberts release while she awaits her March
17 sentencing date could be an indication,
Wagstaffe said.
Its a bit of a tell-tale sign of where the
judge is leaning, Wagstaffe said. Im in the
mind if you steal millions of dollars, you
should be going to prison.
Lamberts defense attorney said she hopes
to go through an outpatient program,
although it wasnt specified as to what kind.
During the investigation, it was revealed
that Lambert allegedly had a gambling problem. She will be living with her daughter in
Fremont, must report to the probation
department once a week and is required to
abstain from drugs and alcohol and submit to
testing, Wagstaffe said.

Legal pot brings temporary tax


break for some medical users
By Michael R. Blood
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Some California


medical marijuana users are getting a
tax break.
State officials announced Thursday
that certain purchases of medical
cannabis are now exempt from sales
taxes, under the law approved by voters
this month that legalized recreational
pot in California.
Under the new law known as
Proposition 64, a 15 percent excise tax
will be imposed in January 2018 upon
purchasers of all marijuana and marijuana products, including medical
cannabis. A tax on cultivators will also
be imposed.
Until then, the tax holiday goes to
people who make purchases with a
medical marijuana identification card
from the California Department of
Public Health.
Thats a relatively small group in a
state of 39 million people. According

Given the nature of how medical


marijuana is typically purchased in California, its not
clear whether the initiatives language on sales tax will
actually prove to be a significant impact on state revenue.
Kevin Liao, a spokesman for Speaker Anthony Rendon

to government data, California issued


about 6,700 of the identification cards
in the year that ended in June. However,
that number doesnt capture the entire
universe of cardholders. The state has
issued 2,200 cards since that time, but
many could be renewals.
The tax-collecting Board of
Equalization said in a statement that
buyers with a paper recommendation
from a physician do not qualify for the
tax break.
The financial hit on the state was not
immediately clear.
Medical dispensaries currently pay
7.5 percent in state sales tax on sales,
and local taxes typically add 1 percent

to 2 percent. Gov. Jerry Browns office


did not immediately comment, while
leaders in the state Assembly are monitoring the situation.
Given the nature of how medical
marijuana is typically purchased in
California, its not clear whether the
initiatives language on sales tax will
actually prove to be a significant
impact on state revenue, said Kevin
Liao, a spokesman for Speaker

It does, however, appear to be
another indication that complex policies arent necessarily best resolved
through the initiative process, Liao
added in a statement.

UC sets new sexual harassment rules for its governing body


By Jocelyn Gecker
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO The University


of California has created new guidelines on sexual harassment for its governing board in response to a widely
publicized incident last month in
which one of its regents was caught on
tape asking a female employee if he
could hold her breasts.
The regent in question, media mogul
Norman J. Pattiz, sat silently and
voted in favor of the new standards,
which were unanimously approved
Thursday during a two-day UC Board of

Regents meeting in San Francisco.


Pervert! shouted out one heckler
from the public gallery, when Pattiz
spoke on an unrelated subject.
Under the new policy, all regents are
now required to take the universitys
training program in sexual harassment
prevention, as do employees at UCs
10 campuses.
Regents can also now face sanctions
if they violate the universitys sexual
harassment or ethical conduct codes
in their public as well as private lives.
It was not yet clear if Pattiz could
face disciplinary measures retroactively for a violation of the new sexual

harassment
policy,
said
UC
spokesman Ricardo Vazquez.
Pattiz is the founder of Americas
largest radio network, Westwood One,
and CEO of Courtside Entertainment
Group, which produces radio shows
and podcasts. In May, he entered a Los
Angeles studio where comedian
Heather McDonald was taping a podcast commercial for a memory-foam
bra.
She flubbed some of her lines, and
Pattiz asked: Can I hold your breasts?
Would that help? and showed his
hands, saying, These are memory
foam.

Beyond rooms and homes:
Airbnb adding tours and activities
SAN FRANCISCO Not content with just renting out

travelers desire for distinctive experiences that make
them feel more connected with the places they visit, travel

around the world, has been valued at $30 billion though
its run into growing pains in some cities where local officials complain the boom in short-term rentals is reducing

The workers involved have been trying to organize with
the unions help. They work mainly for private contractors
at the airport.
They dont expect to shut the airport down, SEIU Local
1 President Tom Balanoff said, according to the Chicago

theyre trying to do. Oh, there will be disruption.
Balanoff said a walk out could slow but not shut down airport operations. He said what workers are trying to do is
get the powers that be to hear their voice.
The workers who plan to strike include baggage handlers,
cabin cleaners, janitors and wheelchair attendants. They are
seeking a $15 per hour wage.

Sessions could face tough Senate confirmation


By Eileen Sullivan
and Chad Day
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON As one of
President-elect Donald Trumps
closest and most consistent allies,
Sen. Jeff Sessions is a likely pick
for a top post in his administration. But when Sessions faced
Senate confirmation for a job 30
years ago, it didnt go well.
Nominated for a federal judgeship in 1986, Sessions, R-Ala.,
was dogged by racist comments he
was accused of making while serving as U.S. attorney in Alabama.
He was said to have called a black
assistant U.S. attorney boy and
the NAACP un-American and
communist-inspired.
Sessions was the first senator to
back Trump during the campaign
and is an architect of Trumps
immigration, counterterrorism

and trade policies. His name


has been floated
for
attorney
general and secretary
of
defense.
The
Trump transition
team
Donald Trump released a statement Thursday
saying the president-elect is
unbelievably impressed with
Sessions, citing his work as a U.S.
attorney and state attorney general
in Alabama.
But confirmation for the fourterm lawmaker, even in a
Republican-controlled chamber, is
not guaranteed.
Sessions had been confirmed by
a Republican-controlled Senate in
1981 to be the U.S. attorney for
the Southern District of Alabama.
In 1986, however, his racially
charged comments and record on

civil rights as a U.S. attorney,


which Sessions denied and defended, prevented his nomination as
judge from going forward, even in
a GOP-majority Senate. Sessions
later withdrew from consideration,
though he went on to become state
attorney general and won election
to the U.S. Senate in 1996.
Mr. Sessions is a throwback to
a shameful era, which I know both
black and white Americans
thought was in our past, the late
Massachusetts Democrat, Sen.
Edward Kennedy, said during the
1986 confirmation hearing. It is
inconceivable to me that a person
of this attitude is qualified to be a
U.S. attorney, let alone a U.S. federal judge.
During the hearing, a former
assistant U.S. attorney, Thomas

Figures, who is black, said
Sessions referred to him as boy, Sen. Jeff Sessions, an advisor to U.S. President Elect Donald Trump, speaks

Trump offers Flynn national security adviser job


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK President-elect


Donald Trump offered former military intelligence chief Michael
Flynn the job of national security
adviser as he began to build out his
national security team Thursday,
according to a senior Trump official. The move came as Trump
made his most direct foray into
foreign policy since the election,
meeting with Japans prime minister.
Flynn, who served as the director of the Defense Intelligence

Agency,
has
advised Trump
on
national
security issues
for months. As
national security adviser, he
would work in
the
White
Michael Flynn House and have
frequent access
to the president. The post does not
require Senate confirmation.
The official wouldnt say
whether Flynn had accepted the
job, which left open the possibil-

ity that the arrangement was not


finalized. The official was not
authorized to discuss the offer
publicly
and insisted on
anonymity.
Flynn, who turns 58 in
December, built a reputation in the
Army as an astute intelligence
professional and a straight talker.
He retired in 2014 and has been a
fierce critic of President Barack
Obamas White House and
Pentagon, taking issue with the
administrations approach to
global affairs and fighting Islamic
State militants.

Aleppo airstrikes
kill more than 20
By Sarah El Deeb and Philip Issa

People run in panic after a coalition airstrike hit Islamic State fighters positions in Mosul, Iraq.

IS attacks in Mosul as poor visibility slows Iraqi advance


By Qassim Abdul-Zahra
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MOSUL, Iraq Cloudy skies neutralized air power in Mosul on


Thursday, Iraqi forces said, hampering
their advance in the northern city,
although they still faced deadly
attacks by Islamic State militants that
killed seven civilians and two soldiers.
The civilians were killed and 35 others were wounded when militants fired
mortar rounds on government-controlled areas of eastern Mosul, said
army medic Bashir Jabar, who is in
charge of a field clinic run by the special forces.
A soldier was killed and three were
wounded when a car packed with explosives sped out from its hiding spot in a

school complex in the eastern Tahrir


neighborhood, ramming Iraqi troops
position and exploding into a ball of
fire, according to two officers who
spoke on condition of anonymity
because they were not authorized to
brief reporters.
Another soldier was shot and killed
by a sniper in the Bakir neighborhood.
Clouds over Iraqs second-largest
city obscured the visibility of drones
and warplanes. The troops used the
pause to secure areas they had seized,
set up checkpoints and sweep for
explosives, said Brig. Gen. Haider
Fadhil.
The U. S. coalition providing air
cover and reconnaissance for the
advancing forces has been a key element in the month-old Mosul offen-

sive, and fighting stalls when the air


power cannot be used.
Thursdays attacks came as civilians
were fleeing or venturing into the
streets to ask for food from troops and
aid agencies, Jabar said. Two children
were among the civilians killed, he
said.
A donkey-drawn cart carried the body
of an 18-year-old boy, wrapped in a
white plastic bag. Mohammed Ismael
said his nephew was in the street to get
kerosene when a mortar shell landed
nearby, fatally wounding him.
Residents of the nearby Samah
neighborhood lined up for food and
other aid from an Iraqi Red Crescent
truck as special forces protected them
and helped organize the distribution.
Families had to show their official
papers to receive aid.

BEIRUT Airstrikes pounded rebel-held eastern Aleppo


on Thursday, killing more than 20 people and hitting a
water pumping station on the third day of a renewed air campaign on the besieged territory, Syrian activists and rescue
workers said.
The Russian military meanwhile said airstrikes in the
rebel-held province of Idlib earlier this week killed at least
30 members of an al-Qaida-linked group, including three
commanders. The strikes are part of a major Syrian and
Russian offensive launched earlier this week on opposition-held areas that has killed dozens of people.
In one area, volunteer first responders dug through the
rubble for four hours before pulling out a six-year-old child
who was still alive. The childs mother was killed in the
strikes, said Ibrahim al-Haj, a spokesman for the rescuers,
known as the Syrian Civil Defense.
The activist-run Public Services Authority said the Bab alNairab water plant was struck with a barrel bomb.
Spokesman Ahmad al-Shami said the plant was damaged but
is still operating.
This regime uses any means to add pressure to civilians.
It has bombed bakeries and hospitals and has not made an
exception for water and electricity, he told the Associated
Press.
Airstrikes on Wednesday struck the citys central blood
bank and a childrens hospital. Medical facilities have
repeatedly come under attack during the Syrian conflict,
with 126 such incidents this year alone, according to the
World Health Organization.
Doctors Without Borders said the childrens hospital and
a specialized surgical hospital were hit by Wednesdays
strikes.
Hospital staff managed to move childrenincluding
prematurely born babiesfrom cots and incubators to the
basement of the building in order to shelter them from the
bombing, said the aid group, which sponsors both hospitals.
The Oxfam aid group said the more than 250,000 residents of eastern Aleppo have limited food and clean water as
winter approaches, and are at risk of disease outbreaks.
No U.N. aid has reached eastern Aleppo since July, and the
U.N. has warned that supplies will run out this week. Oxfam
said it helped move a generator to the besieged area on
Wednesday to improve the water supply.

Obama, nudging Trump, says


he must stand up to Russia
By Josh Lederman
and David Rising
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BERLIN President Barack


Obama prodded Donald Trump on
Thursday to take a tougher
approach toward Russia, urging the
president-elect to stand up to
Moscow when it violates global
norms. The Kremlin accused Obama
of trying to lock in bad relations
before Trump takes office.
In Europe for his last time as
president, Obama said he doesnt
expect Trump to mirror his own
strategy on Russia, and hopes his
successor will work constructively
with the superpower where appropriate. Yet he insisted the U.S.
mustnt gloss over deep disagreements over Syria, Ukraine and
basic democratic values.
My hope is that he does not
simply
take
a
realpolitik

approach,
Obama
said,
using a German
term for a foreign
policy
driven by expediency. He said
he hopes the
b us i n e s s m a n
Barack Obama wont cut deals
with Russia if it
hurts other countries or just do
whatever is convenient at the
time.
Obamas remarks in a news conference with German Chancellor
Angela Merkel marked his most
explicit attempt since the election
to influence the policies Trump will
pursue as president. Obama has privately urged Trump not to obliterate the efforts of the last eight
years, but in public he has tried to
avoid boxing in his successor.
Yet Trumps unexpected victory

has put Obama in the unwelcome


position of having to reassure foreign leaders that Trump wont follow through on alarming positions
he staked out in his campaign, such
as the notion the U.S. might not
defend its NATO allies. NATO members and other European countries
are worried that under Trump, the
U.S. will stop trying to police
Russias behavior the way it has
under Obama.
Most concerning to U.S. allies
are Trumps effusive comments
about Russian President Vladimir
Putin, one of the first world leaders
he spoke to after winning the election. The Kremlin has said Putin
and Trump agreed in that call to try
to fully normalize U.S.-Russia relations, an alarming prospect for
Russias neighbors who fear the
U.S. will let sanctions on Moscow
lapse and acquiesce to Russias
behavior in Ukraine and Syria.

Trump puts pressure on Merkel to take liberal lead


By Frank Jordans
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BERLIN Can Germany, the


country that once unleashed
Nazism, lead the free world?
The idea that the former home of
militarism and nationalism could
become a beacon for human rights
and peaceful international cooperation within one lifetime may
seem far-fetched.
But with outsider Donald
Trumps election as U.S. president
and the rising strength of far-right

No Promo Code Now until Dec. 18th

and populist
movements in
Europe, some
have suggested
that
German
Chancellor
Angela Merkel
is left as the
last powerful
Angela Merkel defender of liberal values in
the West.
Since taking office in 2005,
Merkel has been a fixture of the
international summit circuit, often

providing the only dash of color


in row upon row of grey suits.
She has outlasted most of her
contemporaries save for Russian
President Vladimir Putin and
won plaudits for successfully steering her country through the turmoil
of the global financial crisis.
Along the way, the trained
physicist has deftly maintained
relations with allies as they
gained new leaders, including
prime ministers and presidents
whose positions were very different from her own.

The kids are alright

Im a Muslim for loyalty


By Dania Sohail

n Nov. 8, Donald J. Trump was


named the president-elect of the
United States of America. As a
young Muslim-American, I originally felt a
feeling of total disbelief over these results
because of the implications to the many
minority groups residing in our country. I
was surprised after speaking to my parents
at their calm resolve and lack of worry
about the future of our nation. They told me
that this was what America had democratically chosen and it was our duty, as
Muslims, to accept the result. This, they
said, this is where our faith really matters.
So I chose to respond with peace and
patience as we await Trumps presidency
and policies to follow. On Veterans Day,
only a few days later, I organized a group of
Muslim-Americans from the Ahmadiyya
Muslim Community to build a oat and
march in the San Jose Veterans Day parade.
We did this to publicly demonstrate our
loyalty to this country and our appreciation for those who have fought to defend it.
There is a lot of palpable tension and
unrest in America right now. One reason is
because minority groups are facing more
discrimination and hate crimes as a result
of Donald Trumps harsh and hurtful rhetoric. Another comes from the divide in our
country between Trump-supporters and
Trump-opposers. One group is hurting

because of feelings of
alienation and discrimination within their own
country, while another
group has been hurting
for the past eight years
as they have watched the
middle class shrink and
economic issues grow.
Instead of reacting in
protest, which is seemingly an appealing
option for many of those who want to publicly dissent, I chose to react in peace and
harmony by publicly showing that we as
Muslim-Americans are steadfastly loyal to
and love our country.
We have always taken pride in our faith
and have never given into the fear of
Islamophobia.
Marching down the streets of San Jose,
the celebration of all the veterans that
served was accompanied by a feeling of
inclusiveness and welcoming support. A
number of people came up to us, thanking
us for coming out and even apologizing for
all the recent treatment of Muslims and
close-minded behavior. People in the crowd
shouted words of encouragement which lifted everyones spirits even more. Its
strange to say that I felt almost surprised
by all of this support because Muslims are
often perceived in a negative light, but the
immense kindness contributed not only to
a successful parade but also a sense of
belonging amongst my fellow Muslims. In
a week that felt very categorized by divi-

Guest
perspective
sions, this parade helped create unity with
our fellow citizens.
Following the law of the land is a part of
our faith; we fully support the Constitution
and abide by the results of all democratic
elections. As a member of the Ahmadiyya
Muslim Community, the oldest Muslim
community in the United States, I live by
our peaceful motto: Love for All, Hatred for
None. As of now, we are willingly awaiting
the outcome of the policies presented by
Donald Trump, and only if these policies
discriminate against minorities will we
peacefully speak out in opposition. We all
need to come together and have empathy
for those who are hurting on both sides of
the political spectrum. We have to build
bridges, not burn them. So Im calling on
my fellow Americans to be the ones to
remain peaceful and hopeful as we patiently
await a more forbearing future.

School. She has started a Humanity First
Student Organization at her school and wants

Local businesses enrich our lives


By Joe Goethals

owntown San Mateo is an embarrassment of riches. An bounty of


local restaurants offer some of
the best food options anywhere representing an enormous range of cultures, world
regions, styles and spectacular fusions.
31st Union, Three, Vault 164, Sushi
Yoshizumi, Viognier, Vespucci, Espetus
and Ramen Dojo rank among the most
popular restaurants on the Peninsula and
all are located in downtown San Mateo.
But our downtown offerings extend well
beyond the gastronomical. Our retailers
provide unique products, quality services
and unparalleled expertise.
The toy and hobby shop of my youth
remains a favorite of my children for toys,
books, trains and bats and balls of all
types. The massive, oversized teddy bears
greeting visitors to Talbots Toyland on
South B Street are a familiar and welcome
site that let visitors know that Talbots is
singularly focused on capturing the imaginations of kids the young ones and the
young at heart.

to augment a commute,
Cognition Cyclery can
meet any need and the
staff are as knowledgeable as can be found

Thanks to the vision
of my predecessors on the San Mateo City
Council, our downtown features a 12-theater cinema so that dinner and a movie are
a unique treat in one place.
And for our families, this Holiday
Season our ice skating rink is back at
Central Park at the south end of downtown.
To offset our fine dining, downtown San
Mateo also offers numerous opportunities
to get in shape. My personal favorite,
Revelry, is my go-to spot for spin classes. Revelry played a significant role reenergizing Third Avenue and is a tremendous
supporter of our local Police Activities

pset by the results of the presidential election, this week hundreds of


San Mateo high school students
walked out of class and converged on Central
Park to hold a rally to convey their political
thoughts.
The rally was largely an exercise in
expressions of tolerance and acceptance but
the undertone was disappointment of the
election of Donald Trump as president.
It is similar to protests in certain cities
across the nation since Nov. 9 and there has
been some dismay by others that the
protests are inappropriate since Trump
won the election fair
and square with more
electoral votes than
Hillary Clinton,
though it appears the
Democratic candidate
received more of the
popular vote.
Our nations
democracy follows a
certain set of rules
regarding the
Electoral College
that were established in the U.S.
Constitution, our law of the land. So by
protesting the elections result, one might
think that those participating are protesting
democracy and the United States political
system.
Some might be but, for the most part, the
protesters are simply conveying their disappointment in the result and what can be considered an archaic way of determining our
president.
Before I go further, lets assuage any brewing thoughts in some of our readers. Yes, the
campaign would have been run differently
without the Electoral College, perhaps candidates would have even spent time in our
ne state. Yes, protesting the results of our
election could be interpreted as misconstrued. And yes, there have been reports elsewhere of protesters who destroyed property
and that was wrong.
However, that was not the case with this
weeks protest at Central Park. It was peaceful, interesting and emblematic of our
youngest generations interests in ensuring
their point of view is heard and understood.
I thought my generation, Generation X,
was open and accepting but the Millennials
have denitely taken it up a notch. There is a
feeling at times that this sense of tolerance
has some bounds in that those with conservative points of view do not feel as emboldened to speak up and even some Trump supporters are fearful of expressing that idea for
fear of being assigned a range of thoughts
that are not attached to their actual way of
thinking. Yet I feel that will iron out over
time and, for now, it is refreshing to see a
collection of young people emboldened to
fully display their philosophy of acceptance. The rally Tuesday likely provided a
way for expression and to come to terms
with their disappointment their preferred
candidate did not win. Overall, thats
healthy. And you know what? We are allowed
to protest in the United States without fear of
retribution.
It is also important to note that hundreds
of students made a decision to remain in
school and participate in class time while
their cohorts walked out and gathered in
Central Park. That too is a worthwhile
response. Perhaps they agreed with the result
of the election. Perhaps some did not agree
with the decision to leave school. Perhaps
some felt their education was more important
than an opportunity to express themselves
for a few hours. Perhaps they have different
forms of expressing themselves.
And I understand the whole civil disobedience thing with leaving school to make a
point, but cant help to think the rally could
have been just as effective, and perhaps
drawn more people, if it was held on a weekend of evening after school.
In all cases, participating or not participating, the demonstration gave the rest of
the community a view into the world of San
Mateos high school students and their
thoughts on the body politic. It is also, for
many, an entry point into the larger world of
democracy and politics and even specically
how both of those work in our great nation.

Thursday as banks resumed their
steep upward climb and retailers
moved higher. Federal Reserve
Chair Janet Yellen emphasized that
the Fed plans to raise interest
rates, which will help banks make
more money from lending.
Stocks started the day with small
gains and moved higher following
Yellens testimony to Congress.
Banks once again marched higher
as investors cheered the latest
indication that interest rates will
rise from their current ultra-low
levels. Retailers also rose after
strong earnings from Best Buy,
while food and household goods
makers struggled after weak results
from Wal-Mart and J.M. Smucker.
Almost all of the S&P 500s
gains since the presidential election have gone to financial
stocks. They lagged the market for
much of this year, but theyre now
trading at their highest levels
since May 2008, months before
the financial crisis peaked.

Deja vu for Serra


Fifth-seeded Padres to face St. Francis for second time this season
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

It may not be fair to Leigh, Serras firstround opponent in the Central Coast
Section Open Division II football playoffs,
but that was the easiest game of the season
for the Padres. After opening the year
against St. Marys-Stockton, De La Salle
and Pittsburg three teams that went a
combined 18-3 during the regular season
and slogging through the grind that is
the West Catholic Athletic League season,
the Padres got a bit of break taking on the
Longhorns and posting a 48-14 win in
south San Jose last Friday night.
The difficulty meter will jump back up
into the red zone again tonight, however, as
the fifth-seeded Padres (7-4) take on topseeded, and longtime rival, St. Francis (101) in a second-round pairing 7 p.m. in
Mountain View.
It never gets old. It doesnt get old at
all, said Serra coach Patrick Walsh on playing another WCAL team in the playoffs.
Walsh believes the Lancers will be especially motivated Friday night. Not only is a
spot in the Open Division II championship
game on the line, but its a chance for the
Lancers to avenge their only loss of the season. Serra beat St. Francis 41-40 in overtime in Week 6, scoring a two-point conversion to win the game.
Its really hard to beat a team twice in the
same season. [St. Francis wants to avenge]
the only blemish on their schedule. If they
were 6-4, maybe that (feeling) isnt there.
But 10-1? Who was the 1? It was us, Walsh
said. It was such an even game (the first
time). In terms of this game, if Im 10-1, Im
excited to play that team (that beat us)
again.
The win over the Lancers Oct. 8 was the
Padres second straight after opening the
season with four straight losses. It helped

After Texans passed, Carr thriving with Raiders


By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALAMEDA When Derek Carr was


preparing for the 2014 NFL draft, there was
one quarterback-needy team that never came
calling.
After drafting Carrs older brother David
with the first overall pick as an expansion
team in 2002, the Houston Texans showed
no interest in Davids little brother, taking
pass rusher Jadeveon Clowney with the No.
1 pick and then guard Xavier Sua-Filo at the
top of the second round three picks before
Derek Carr went to Oakland.
Well, they never talked to me, Carr said
Thursday. I never talked one word to a
Houston scout, G.M., coach anything. Im
just happy to be here, I can tell you that.
The Raiders are even happier as Carr has
developed into one of the leagues top young
quarterbacks in his third season and is a
major reason why Oakland (7-2) is in position to end a 13-year playoff drought.
Carr has completed 66.1 percent of his
passes for 2,505 yards with 17 touchdowns
and a passer rating of 99.1 heading into
Monday nights meeting with the Texans (6-

3) in Mexico City.
Hes having a heck of
a year, Texans coach Bill
OBrien said. Hes only
thrown three interceptions, I think hes completing almost 70 percent of his balls, doing a
good job throwing the
ball down the field, and
Derek Carr
he can run. So, yeah, hes
doing a lot. Hes got a good grasp of their
offense. We evaluated all the quarterbacks
coming out in that draft and we felt like he
was definitely one of the better quarterbacks.
They just decided against taking him.
There was speculation at the time that
Houston passed on Derek Carr because David
struggled during his time with the Texans.
David Carr was sacked 76 times as a rookie
in 2002 and 249 times in five seasons. He
never had a passer rating higher than 83.5
and didnt produce a winning record in any
season with Houston before ending his
career as mostly a backup with Carolina, San
Francisco and the New York Giants.
With help from a stronger offensive line

and good pocket presence, Derek Carr has


been sacked only 62 times in 41 career
games.
He can go up there and fix a problem,
ESPN analyst Jon Gruden said. If theres a
blitz coming on the left, he doesnt miss it;
he changes the protection. He hand signals
the route. He keeps the Raiders in optimum
play selection, and things dont have to perfect. I mean, if the pocket isnt clean, he can
just slide two feet to his right and throw an
awkward-delivery release 18 yards down the
field on the dime. Hes got very good pocket
skills.
Gruden worked Carr out at his quarterback
camp before the draft and came away extremely impressed. He recalled Carr hitting a target
20 yards downfield so accurately that it broke
the cameras filming the session.
Carr has shown more of those skills while
starting every game for Oakland since entering the league.
Houston, on the other hand, has started
seven quarterbacks in that span. The Texans
gave Brock Osweiler a $72 million, fouryear contract this offseason to fill that role
but he has struggled in his first full season as
a starter.

Osweiler has completed just 58.6 percent


of his passes and is last in the league with
5.6 yards per attempt. He has thrown only 11
touchdown passes with nine interceptions
and has a passer rating of 74.1.
Now they get a chance to see how much
Carr has developed since he faced them two
years ago in his second game as a starter.
Carr was intercepted twice that game as
Oakland lost 30-14 as part of a 0-10 start to
his career.
Now, he shows signs of reading defenses,
changing plays at the line of scrimmage, he
can make all the throws, he can control the
pocket and his movement in the pocket so
that he can make a throw, Texans defensive
coordinator Romeo Crennel said. Hes a different cat and better. Hes a better guy then we
faced a couple years ago.
NOTES: The NFL said there was no update
on the status of LB Aldon Smith, who is waiting to be reinstated after his one-year suspension for substance abuse ended Thursday.
Commissioner Roger Goodell must decide
whether to reinstate Smith before he can
make a comeback. ... DL Mario Edwards Jr.
remains sidelined from a preseason hip
injury.

College contenders ponder benefits of running up scores


By Steve Megargee
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

This is the time of year when teams fighting


for spots in the College Football Playoff might
be tempted to run up big margins in hopes of
impressing the selection committee.
Whether that strategy actually makes a difference is up for debate.
Texas Tech athletic director Kirby Hocutt,
who chairs the College Football Playoff committee, says the committee doesnt take margin
of victory into account.
We talk about how that team has performed
each and every week, Hocutt said. We talk
about Was that a convincing win? ... I believe,
in certain games a convincing win can be a 140 score, and in other games it can be a 35-7
score. I think in the game of college football, a
convincing win can vary. But in no way do we
incent margin of victory.
Yet that didnt stop Louisville coach Bobby
Petrino from bringing up margin of victory
recently when he complained about his teams
position in the rankings. Maybe I made a mistake, looking back at it, he said. (Against)

Florida State, we shouldve kept all the starters


in and scored 80 points and done that.
Louisville beat Florida State 63-20 on Sept.
17 and has outscored teams by an average margin of 29.3 points this season. Even after trailing Wake Forest at the start of the fourth quarter
last week, Louisville went on to win 44-12 .
Of course, scoring 80 against Florida State
technically shouldnt have mattered to the committee if it isnt taking margin of victory into
account. But how do the committee members
not pay attention to the actual scores of games?
I think they do to some degree, Oklahoma
coach Bob Stoops said. Thats probably the
best way to say it. I think they take all of it into
consideration. But its a very bright group that,
in some cases, it probably doesnt matter too
much to them, and in some cases it does.
Jeff Sagarin, who has his own rating system
to rank teams, says common sense shows that
the playoff committee does factor in the scores
of each game. Sagarin cited the 2014 season,
when eventual national champion Ohio State
leapfrogged TCU to earn the fourth playoff spot
after trouncing Wisconsin 59-0 in the Big Ten
championship game.

Their problem is if they ever verbalize, Oh,


we look at scores, then people will castigate
them for encouraging teams to run up the score,
so they have to pretend they dont, Sagarin
said.
Sagarin says his own ratings are based on
who did you play, where did you play and what
was the score. His current rankings are virtually identical to the CFP rankings, with one
notable exception. The CFP rankings have
Clemson fourth and Louisville fifth, while
Sagarins ratings reverse the order of those two
Atlantic Coast Conference teams.
Both rankings have Alabama first, Ohio
State second, Michigan third and Washington
sixth.
You get better accuracy predicting future
games when you use the score, Sagarin said.
Thats all I can say about it. If people want to
ignore the scores, thats their business, but the
committee, I dont think they do (ignore the
scores).
Alabama coach Nick Saban, whose team has
appeared in each of the first two playoffs, says
he doesnt believe margin of victory should be
factored into the CFP rankings.

I dont think that beating another team by


an embarrassing score really should be something that (should be rewarded) from a sportsmanship standpoint or a common respect
standpoint for the other team and their players
and their families, Saban said. Thats not really something that should be a part of the
game.
But Hocutt acknowledged the committee discusses what constitutes a convincing win. How
often has the eye test come up as a way to
judge a team during the playoff era? Sagarin
notes the frequent references to style points.
Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher recalls the
example of his 2014 team that went undefeated
in the regular season but only earned a No. 3
seed in the playoff behindAlabama and Oregon,
who had each lost a game. Florida State played
several close games that year, and committee
members often referred to the Seminoles lack
of game control without specifically mentioning scores.
We were undefeated, hadnt lost in two years,
but game control, Fisher said this week. I
havent heard game control anymore. Did that
one go out of the equation?

Olympic champ Shields to make pro debut


By Tim Dahlberg
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LAS VEGAS She became the first


American woman boxer to win a gold medal
in the London Olympics, then did it again a
few months ago in Rio.
Nice trinkets, but Claressa Shields has bigger things in mind. Way bigger.
A one-in-a-century fighter, Shields said.
The brash middleweight from Flint,
Michigan, makes her pro debut Saturday
night on the undercard of the Andre WardSergey Kovalev light heavyweight title
clash. Shell do it without headgear but with
the same two-minute rounds as in the amateurs.
And she will do it against a familiar opponent in Baltimore boxer Franchon Crews, a
top amateur she beat on her way to earning a
spot on the 2012 Olympic team.
Very seldom do you see someone making
their pro debut with this level of fight, said
Mark Taffet, who is Shields co-manager.

The idea is to use the first


year and make it impactful
in a way that hasnt been
done for a female fighter.
Theres no shortage of
big plans for Shields, and
seemingly no lack of confidence that the 21-yearold can succeed where
other women boxers
Claressa
havent. But theres also
Shields
no guarantee Shields can
be a breakout fighter who can bring the kind
of interest to the fractured world of womens
boxing that Ronda Rousey has to the UFC.
It may be a longshot, but thats not stopping Shields from envisioning womens
boxing having a different future. She
believes she can someday headline pay-perview cards of her own like Ward-Kovalev at
the glittering new T-Mobile Arena on the Las
Vegas Strip.
I consider myself a pay-per-view attraction now, Shields said. The more you see

me box, the more youll like me. I want to


fight 12 rounds. If a girl could withstand me
for 12 rounds, that would be a good fight.
Shields will make her debut in a four-rounder that wont be on the pay-per-view portion
of the card. Taffet said her bout, expected to
take place with few people in the arena, will
be streamed online and put on specialty channels in an effort to get people to buy the
Kovalev-Ward card.
Crews also will make her pro debut in the
fight. She is an eight-time USA Boxing
national champion and a silver medalist at
the 2012 world championships.
Shields, whose story of rising out of
poverty with her fists was the subject of a
documentary film after her first gold medal
win, said she wants to fight 10 times in the
next year to build her resume and get more
people interested in her.
I believe 150 percent in my boxing
ability, she said. I know Im a great
fighter. I fight better than 90 percent of
the men who box now. I just know that,

and Im not at my best yet.


Shields was miffed after winning her gold
medal in London that she didnt receive the
kind of endorsements and attention given
gymnast Gabby Douglas. Things were a bit
better in Rio, where she became the first
American boxer to defend an Olympic title
and won the Val Barker Trophy as the tournaments top overall fighter.
Instead of continuing to draw a $5,000
monthly stipend from USA Boxing to go for
a third gold in Tokyo four years from now,
though, she decided to turn pro. Despite
womens boxing receiving little attention in
recent years and her bout not on pay-perview, Shields isnt deterred.
Taffet, who used to be head of pay-per-view
for HBO, said he signed on to help manage
her because he is a big believer.
Shes going to make her mark not just on
womens boxing, but all of boxing like the
way weve seen recently in MMA, he said.
Its a new world, and theres a new sheriff in
town.

Edwards tries to put 2011 loss behind


By Dan Gelston
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HOMESTEAD, Fla. Carl Edwards detests


social media.
He prefers his followers have sharpies and
photos instead of egg avatars and his only
likes are NASCAR victory celebrations.
I enjoy normal, social interaction,
Edwards said. Its hard once you get down the
path of social media.
Edwards recalled a time his brother handed
him a phone and insisted he read Brad
Keselowskis tweets. Keselowski, who has
tweeted from his car during a race, was the first
NASCAR media darling on the social network.
He uses his 140-character forum as a bully pulpit, and Edwards was curious.
It was like a time warp, he said. I handed
the phone back an hour later. I went across the
entire Twitter-verse. I feel like life is short. I
dont want to spend it staring at my phone.
Edwards is willing to make a notable exception to his blackout and deal with the scrolling
and trolling of the digital age under one condition: If he leaves Homestead-Miami Speedway

as the champ.
Thats right. Edwards
will end his holdout and
join Twitter should he win
the 2016 NASCAR Sprint
Cup championship.
Ill no longer be
Twitter-less Carl, he said.
NASCAR champ seems
Carl Edwards like a pretty cool line in a
Twitter bio.
The title has eluded Edwards in 12 full seasons at the Cup level. He finished third in his
rookie season of 2005 and is a two-time series
runner-up though his stinging loss to Tony
Stewart on a tiebreak in 2011 has gone down as
the greatest finale finish in the Chase era.
The 37-year-old Edwards can ease some of
that disappointment if he defeats six-time
champion Jimmie Johnson, 2015 champ Kyle
Busch and Joey Logano on Sunday and brings
home the trophy for owner Joe Gibbs. The first
to finish out of the four contenders is the 2016
champion.
With the way everyones been running with

head-to-head showdown with Stewart to find a
better one.
Edwards, then driving for Jack Roush, had
seemingly checked all the boxes needed to win
a championship. He started the race with a
three-point lead in the standings, and did everything he could from the minute he arrived in
Florida. His Roush Fenway Racing team put his
Ford on the pole, he led a race-high 119 of the
267 laps and still finished second to Stewart.
Stewart and Edwards finished tied in the final
Sprint Cup Series points standings a first in
NASCAR history and Stewart took the
tiebreaker based on his five victories to
Edwards one.

Those couple of weeks leading up, I could


tell Tony and those guys were on a roll,
Edwards said. It was the most fun Id had in racing since Ive been in NASCAR. Everything
we did, every lap, every qualifying session,
every pit stop mattered. It was real easy to
focus.
Edwards also insisted he wasnt rattled by
Stewarts trash-talking in the lead-up to the
race. Stewart, who retires from NASCAR on
Sunday, agitated Edwards with a series of verbal
jabs at the championship press conferences.
Stewart told Edwards he could visit the Cup
trophy at the victors banquet in Las Vegas and
that hed talk to his hero A.J. Foyt after we
win on Sunday. Edwards says he was simply
outdueled by the better car on the track, not by
barbs on a dais.
I knew as soon as Tony started talking
trash, I knew he was giving 100 percent
effort, Edwards said. He knew what it was
going to take. He was putting everything out
there that he could. That made it really special.
I feel like I got to race Tony at his absolute best.
I could tell how much it meant to him to win
that championship.

Sports briefs
Cross country runner
knocked over by deer during race
CENTER VALLEY, Pa. A deer sprinting
across a field knocked over a cross-country
runner at an NCAA regional race, but the runner
got up and finished the race.
Saturdays episode during the NCAA
Division III Mideast Regional Cross Country
Championships at DeSales University in
Center Valley was captured on video.
Gwynedd Mercy University senior Justin
DeLuzio was competing in the 8K race when
someone yelled, Watch out for the deer! A
deer struck him in the stomach, and he fell to
the ground as more deer ran across the course.
I turn my head a little bit to the left, and he
comes right there, DeLuzio told WCAU-TV.
He knocked me down pretty good.
A teammate helped DeLuzio to his feet, and
he finished the race, placing 294th. The
Gwynedd team finished 46th out of 52 schools
taking part.
Gywnedd head coach Kevin Clark told The
Express-Times newspaper, of Easton, that his
team could have finished much higher.
All three of these guys could have run significantly faster if this did not happen but
made sure their guy was fine, Clark said.
The team says DeLuzio, of Limerick, was
bruised but otherwise fine. DeLuzio considers
himself lucky.
I know if that deer was a little bit bigger I
could have been in serious trauma, he said.

Deal set to dismiss domestic


assault case against Manziel
DALLAS Heisman Trophy-winning
quarterback Johnny Manziel has reached a
deal with prosecutors for the conditional dismissal of a misdemeanor domestic assault
charge involving his former girlfriend.
Defense attorney Jim Darnell said there
was still work to be done, but said after a
Thursday morning hearing that he was
encouraged. A judge set another hearing for
Dec. 1, when the case could be settled.
Thats all in progress, Darnell said
regarding the conditions of any agreement.
Until we get something done, if we do, then
well announce it.
The troubled former Cleveland quarterback
left the courtroom without responding to
questions, talking on his phone as he
walked ahead of reporters and cameramen and
quickly getting in a car driven by Darnell.
Hes doing OK, Darnell said. Tough
kid.
The 23-year-old Manziel is accused of hitting and threatening former girlfriend
Colleen Crowley during a night out in
January. The charge against the former Texas
A&M star carries a penalty of up to a year in
jail and a $4,000 fine.

in the role but will advise the As ownership
group. Kaval fills Crowleys position while
also keeping his same position with the
MLS team but focusing the majority of his
time now on the As ballpark plan while
restructuring his leadership team with the
Quakes.
Baseball owners approved the leadership
transition for Oakland during meetings
Thursday in Chicago. Wolff and Fisher
bought the As on April 1, 2005.
I am pleased my dear friend of almost 25
years, John Fisher, will be even more
involved, Wolff wrote in an email to The
Associated Press. I will miss Mike
Crowley, who has contributed so much to
the As, and I welcome my ?somewhat newer
friend, Dave Kaval, who will bring lots of
talent and energy to the As. And, I will be
able to watch games with a slight degree of
less stress, not much but a little!
Wolff had been committed to keeping the
As in Oakland but previously wanted to
move the team to San Jose and build a new
ballpark. Former Commissioner Bud Selig
never ruled on whether the As could move
into the San Francisco Giants cherished

regulators. The biggest message: Player safety will never be the top priority as long as
those involved have competing calls on their
loyalty.
So long as the club doctor is chosen, paid
and reviewed by the club to both care for players and advise the club, the doctor will have,
at a minimum, tacit pressures or subconscious
desires to please the club by doing what is in
the clubs best interests, the report said.
This is not a moral judgment about them as
competent professionals or devoted individuals, but rather a simple fact of the current organizational structure of their position in which
they simultaneously perform at least two
roles that are not necessarily compatible.
Its a conclusion that was similar to that
reached in an Associated Press survey of 100
players across the league last season. Asked if
they thought the leagues clubs, coaches and
team doctors have the athletes best interests
at heart when it comes to health and safety,
only 47 said yes.
To resolve the conflict of interest, the
report recommends that the league and the
union contribute to a fund used to pay doc-

Whats critical is we need to find a place to bring


this community together. The other teams look like
they might be leaving. We might be the only team left.
Dave Kaval, Oakland As new president

territory in technology-rich Silicon Valley.


New Commissioner Rob Manfred said last
month he would like to see the club stay
put.
Look, I think that John has been really
engaged for over a year on the stadium project, Manfred said Thursday in Chicago.
Hes made it his project. Hes really
focused on Oakland as a result of some direction Ive given him with respect to my view
of that market.
While the NBA Golden State Warriors are
planning for a new arena in San Francisco
and the NFL Raiders are looking to relocate
to Las Vegas, the As could be it for the East
Bay.
Whats critical is we need to find a place
to bring this community together, Kaval
said. The other teams look like they might
be leaving. We might be the only team
left.
Manfred hinted at change when he spoke
during the NL Division Series between the
Cubs and Giants at San Franciscos AT&T
Park, saying more would be known about
the As situation soon. Manfred noted that

Fisher has become more heavily involved


in the ballpark planning and has made multiple trips to New York to meet with
Manfred and MLB.
In addition, Manfred said Oakland Mayor
Libby Schaaf told him the city is committed
to keeping the As in town and Kaval will
meet with her and other key leaders soon.
The small-budget As won consecutive AL
West titles in 2012 and 13, losing in five
games of the division series to the Detroit
Tigers in both years. But they still consider
a new ballpark the top priority to be a regular contender. Oaklands payroll of $87 million, pending award bonuses and adjustments, is above only Tampa Bay and
Milwaukee.
The run-down Coliseum, shared with the
Raiders and the last venue with both Major
League Baseball and football, had multiple
sewage problems in 2013 that caused damage during games.
For now, Kaval wants to improve the fan
experience at the Coliseum.
I know its maybe lipstick on a pig, he
said.

tors assigned to teams.


It should be common sense to avoid a conflict of interest between Teams and Doctors,
former San Francisco 49ers offensive lineman
Anthony Davis, who retired for the second
time at the age of 26 after repeated concussions, said on Twitter on Thursday.
Although the study called the arrangement
an undeniable conflict of interest, the
league did in fact deny it.
In a 33-page response , the NFL said it was
disappointed that the report appeared to start
with the premise that the health care system
in the NFL suffers from an inherent conflict
of interest.
The report ultimately promotes the untenable and impractical recommendation that
NFL players receive care from two distinct
groups of medical professionals, the league
wrote, saying that would have unintended but
extremely detrimental effects on NFL players
care.
The NFL said the report fails to note any
examples where a doctor put a teams interest
ahead of the players, or establish any link
between a doctors job security and player or
team performance. The league said the collective bargaining agreement establishes that
team doctors responsibility is to the player
only, and that they are bound by the AMA and
other professional codes of ethics.
Players also have the right to seek a second

opinion from a doctor of their own choosing,


the league said.
Tennessee Titans cornerback Jason
McCourty said he has hasnt had a problem
with the current system, but he liked the
reports suggestions. As an eight-year veteran, he said, he is comfortable taking charge of
his medical care, but a rookie might be intimidated.
As players and grown men, as anyone
(who) goes to a doctor, a doctor reports directly to you, he said. And I dont think it
should be any different within a team.
The NFL has already added layers of independent physicians to its concussion protocol, including unaffiliated athletic trainers
and neurotrauma consultants on game day
whose role is to spot players with possible
concussions and, if necessary, stop play. The
league says the role of these consultants is to
support the team medical staffs in the diagnosis of in-game concussions.
I dont really know how it works right
now. I assume that third-party guy has enough
pull to where if he thinks somebody is bad,
hes out, said Pittsburgh Steelers offensive
lineman David DeCastro, who went through
the process against Dallas last week after he
was slow to get up following a hit to the neck.
After talking to the team doctor and the
independent consultant, he was cleared to
return and only missed one play.

Schwartz, Perron lead


Blues over the Sharks
Blues 3, Sharks 2

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ST. LOUIS Jaden Schwartz


realizes it was just one regular
season game. However, the St.
Louis winger still felt plenty of
satisfaction.
Schwartz scored twice and
David Perron added the game-winner to give the Blues a 3-2 win
over San Jose on Thursday night
in the teams first meeting since
the Sharks won last springs
Western Conference final in six
games.
Its a good measuring stick
more than anything, Schwartz
said. Last year, everyone is still
going to remember it. You dont
want to look too far behind. But
theyre always at the top of the
standings and this is a good win
for us.
Jake Allen had 29 saves
holding off the Sharks 6-on-4
advantage over the final 55 seconds as the Blues won their
second straight.
We didnt change anything in
our game, we just kept coming,
Perron said. We came out hard
and did what we had to do.
Kevin Labanc got his first NHL
goal and Logan Couture also
scored for the Sharks, who lost
their second straight after winning the first three on a seasonhigh six-game trip.
Perron broke a 2-2 tie with a
power-play tally late in the second period. San Jose had killed
off its previous 26 penalties over
an 11-game stretch.

Schwartz gave the Blues a 2-1


lead on a wrist shot from the high
slot midway through the second
period. He has five goals in his
last six games after just one in
the first eight.
Hes shooting the puck, hes
attacking the net, St. Louis
coach Ken Hitchcock said. Hes
getting more and more determined to score.
All three of the Blues goals
came as the result of traffic in
front of San Jose goaltender
Martin Jones.
When we play our game, we
can be successful against anybody, St. Louis defenseman Alex
Pietrangelo said. Thats a good
team over there and we rose to the
occasion.
San Jose was 0 for 6 on the
power play. The Sharks had plenty of chances in the frantic final
seconds.
The difference in the game was
the power-play goal, San Jose
coach Peter DeBoer said. They
got one and we didnt.
Labancs goal tied the game
midway through the second period.
I was just kind of battling in
front of the net trying to get in
position for a tip, Labanc said.
But (Joe Thornton) tipped it to
me and I just kind of turned
around and shot it.
The Blues were playing without
Alexander Steen, who missed the
contest with a lower-body injury.

catapult Serra to a share of the WCAL crown
and was the second of what is now a sevengame winning streak. During that time, the
Padres have been firing on all cylinders
both offensively and defensively. After
last weeks win over Leigh, it was the seventh straight game in which the Padres
scored 40 points or more. It was also the
sixth game in a row that the Serra defense
held an opponent to 14 points or less.
Wide receiver Shane Villaroman has had a
big hand in the Padres turnaround this season. He had six catches for 75 yards in the
season-opening 63-35 loss to St. Marys
and then missed the next two games because
of a shoulder sprain. Since returning for the
start of WCAL play, Villaroman has 39
catches for 676 yards and 11 touchdowns. He
has caught at least one touchdown in seven
of the nine games he has played this year and
has caught two scoring passes in four games.
[Villaromans injury] was part of the misery in the early part of the year. Getting him
back, it balanced out the entire wide receiver
corps for our quarterbacks, Walsh said.
Hes been our No. 1 target for most of the
year. He never says anything. Hes quiet.
But every once in a while, you look up and
hes in the end zone.
St. Francis has been on a tear of late as
well. After losing to the Padres, the Lancers
have won five games in row, including scoring a season-high 56 points in a 56-27 win
over Mountain View in the first round last
week.
The Lancers look a lot like the Padres: they
average 31.3 points per game this season
and allow a little more than 12.
For us, if you want to win a CCS championship, you have to beat a WCAL team twice
and sometimes its multiple (WCAL)
teams, Walsh said.

first Bay-Ocean CCS playoff matchup since
SHP met Menlo School in the 2010 semifinals, a 28-14 SHP victory. The Gators
had their second-biggest offensive output
of the season last week, racking up 414
yards of offense 252 rushing (a season
high) and 159 passing. Only the 417 they
gained in a 28-24 win over Aragon was
more. The 42 points scored was a season
high. HMB led Scotts Valley 42-10
going into the fourth quarter last week, but
the Falcons scored three touchdowns in less
than four minutes to close to 42-30 with
7:18 left to play. The Cougars, however,
used a 10-play, nearly five-minute drive to
score the game-icing touchdown.
Cougars running back Chase Hofmann gets
a lot of the praise but, his backfield mate,
Jake Quosig has been vital to their success
as well. Last week, Quosig rushed for 29
yards and a score, caught a 41-yard pass and
threw a 36-yard TD pass to Andrew Olivero.

Bellarmine posting a 34-20 win.
Bellarmine finished fourth in the West

The Bells have won three of their last four

has made it a habit to play at least one
WCAL team during the non-league portion
of its schedule. This is the first time the
Bears will take on a WCAL team in the

Commissioner Rick Hunter, who added he
had originally planned to allow studies on
the proposal to proceed. I do want to evaluate the project, but under our General Plan
that has been developed with so much community input and time and effort.
The current industrial light zoning and
general plan would permit up to 884,050
square feet spread between up to three-story
buildings, according to a staff report. The
city is also in the midst of a draft Inner
Harbor Specific plan, which would encompass the site as well as neighboring areas.
That draft proposes a range of allowing up
to 825,000 square feet to 1.2 million square
feet of commercial space in buildings
between 75 feet and 118 feet tall, according
to a staff report. However, the commission
and Jay Paul Company recently opted to
decouple the Harbor View project from that
planning process.
In seeking a density bonus to allow for
the large-scale development, Jay Paul
Company was offering nearly $63 million

its impacts. That included $36.3 million

Down the road, Levy said, there are some

euthanized, an untrained volunteer accidentally suffocating a baby squirrel and
wildlife mistakenly being thrown into a
clothes dryer. The group also questioned
why management claims to be operating on
a tight budget when the societys top leader
received more than $500,000 in total compensation, according to 2014 and 2015 tax
records the volunteers provided. According
to 2013 records, PHS President Ken White,
whos been credited with raising tens of
millions of dollars for their new shelter
after being hired in 2001, reportedly
received $657,000 in compensation.
Everyone who volunteers and donates to
PHS loves animals and wants them to be
taken care of, and many of them are.
However, the ugly truth is that many of the
animals suffer injury and death because
theres simply not enough staff to feed and
take care of them and the volunteers who do
so are not trained or have proper oversight, said Julie Lynn, who spent six years
volunteering. PHS needs to reallocate
some of its money away from Ken White
and senior management and give more
money directly to animal care and staff,
hire more staff, pay them a wage they can
live on.
White, who was out of town during last
months dispute, emotionally denied allegations that the nonprofits work is anything less than exceptional. He said his
base salary is closer to $340,000, reflects
the work associated with running a complex organization and is determined by a
board-hired consultant that considers

LOCAL
national salaries of commensurate positions. He argued union representatives were
conflating complicated issues associated
with running an animal shelter to further
their negotiations.
I 100 percent deny anything smacking
of abuse or neglect of any animal in the care
of the Peninsula Humane Society and
SPCA. Its 100 percent untrue, White said,
latter adding, these accusations hurt. I
have spent my entire career working to
save the lives of animals. Im a person,
Im not perfect. But when someone questions my ethics, my compassion, my ability to guide organizations forward, I say,
look around. There is no other organizations that can claim doing better than we.
The humane society, which has a nearly
$13 million annual budget, contracts with
San Mateo County for animal control services and operates the county-owned Coyote
Point Shelter which all have agreed is
grossly out of date and officials are in the
midst of planning a $22 million remodel.
The nonprofit was also able to form a
stronghold of donors to raise $26 million
to build the Tom and Annette Lantos
Campus of Compassion on Rollins Road in
Burlingame. Adoptions and wildlife rehabilitation are conducted out of the nonprofit-owned facility opened in 2011.
In contracting with San Mateo County
for animal control services, PHS receives
about $5 million to $5.5 million from the
government. Unfortunately, those county
funds cannot be spent on its wildlife work,
White said. Instead, its wildlife work relies
on donations and volunteers, as well as
about five full-time staff and an additional
two workers employed during busy seasons, he added.
Many of Thursdays concerned workers
had direct complaints about care being

given to wildlife and exotic animals


which the PHS defines as essentially anything other than cats or dogs.
Jessica Reynolds, a former wildlife technician and adoption counselor, said she
resigned after being disheartened by inhumane work. She noted kittens under six
weeks were often euthanized, recalled an
instance in which a veterinarian amputated
a pigeons leg without anesthesia by using
a pair of dog nail clippers, and admitted she
took the initiative to transport birds to
other wildlife organizations instead of
allowing them to be euthanized at PHS.
Lori Skender, who clocked in over 1,000
volunteer hours, spoke about an understaffed wildlife department where volunteers were asked to perform tasks beyond
their experience. Despite her protest, at
one time she was instructed to feed a baby
squirrel and while I was feeding this baby
squirrel, the baby squirrel aspirated and died
in my hands. He died at my own hand
because of my inexperience and not enough

staff training, Skender said.
She said volunteers were often asked to
bring in donations for the animals and at
one point she and another worker went
dumpster diving for food to help out.
White said the PHS is fortunate to have
generous volunteers who willingly offer
donations. He said the nonprofit is in
sound fiscal standing and has an operating
budget sufficient to support all costs associated with properly caring for the animals.
White denied that any kittens are euthanized and noted the state defines what is
considered a healthy or adoptable animal.
He also distinguished between the work
in the wildlife department versus traditional adoptions.
PHS is not a no-kill shelter. Instead, its
open-door policy commits it to homing
adoptable animals, which it has spent
decades improving, according to PHS.
In 2002 we were able to save roughly 57
percent of the animals. Were now at 89
percent of the dogs, 81 percent of the cats,
he said, adding only about a third of the cats
or dogs are healthy when they arrive at the
shelter.
He said about 90 percent of the non-traditional animals, such as snakes or rabbits,
leave the PHS alive. But he acknowledged
the PHS does not adopt out wildlife, most
of which come into their care too young to
care for themselves or adults that are
severely injured. Only about 35 percent of
the wildlife is released, he said.
White said he appreciates that hes well
compensated and, moving forward, will
remain focused on advocating for the county to create a better facility at Coyote
Point.
If youre upset with my salary, say so.
Dont allege bad care, because its a lie, he
said.

Ready for your Thanksgiving


turkey 101? Weve got your back
A cheat sheet to take the mystery out of Thanksgiving math
By J.M. Hirsch
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Thanksgiving math actually


isnt all that hard. You just need to
use a few basic equations.
For example, to estimate the
amount of wine youll need, begin
by multiplying the number of inlaws you are expecting by the estimated number of offensive jokes
your uncle is likely to tell (remember to round up). Take the product

of that and multiply it by the number of children likely to overhear


the offensive jokes. Buy that
many bottles of wine.
Or perhaps you need to know
how many pies to serve. Tally the
total number of guests, then add
another eight guests to that number to account for your nieces
heartthrob of the moment (who
may or may not come, but if he
does will eat an entire pie himself). Now subtract 12 from your

total to account for the guests who


without warning will diagnose
themselves as gluten-sensitive,
fruit-free, paleo-centric or antisugar. Buy that many pies.
How big a turkey should you
get? This one is more complicated. Start by making a list of everyone coming to dinner. Rate each
guest on an annoyance scale of 1
to 10. Bump up the rating by 2
points for any guest likely to
spend the day standing in the

kitchen distracting you. Tally all


of the ratings, then divide by the
total number of guests. If the final
score is 5 or more, dont waste
your money on any turkey. Youll
probably overcook it while being
annoyed and distracted by guests.

Thanksgiving math minefield,

Easy, delicious stuffing


By Alison Ladman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

To brine or not to brine? High heat or


low and slow? Jellied or whole berry?
And of course, to stuff or not to stuff?
They are, of course, the perennial
Thanksgiving debates. So let us give
you a little clarity this year. And if your
relatives disagree and want to argue
about it, you can blame us.
If you have the space and time, brining is fine. If you dont, its not worth
the trouble (and you can replicate the
results by just dumping a bottle of soy
sauce over the bird before and during
roasting anyway). For temp, start high,
then cut it back to finish low and slow.
As for the berries ... Are you older than
10? Then whole berries are the only
option.
Ah, but the stuffing. That one is more
complicated. Its hard to argue with the
fact that a stuffed bird is more beautiful.
Not to mention the stuffing from a
stuffed bird packs way more flavor. Of
course, if you dont cook it properly,
that flavor also packs a fine chance of
food poisoning. And then there is the
trouble and mess of doing the actual
stuffing, and the fact that youve now
rendered the dish unfit for any vegetarians at the table.
So we advocate having it both ways.
Make up one giant batch of stuffing,
then use part of it to stuff your bird
while popping the rest into a well-buttered baking dish. The trick to keeping
the stuffed stuffing safe to consume is to
make sure it is hot when it goes into the
cavity of the turkey (and using a thermometer to make sure it reaches 165 F
at the center by the end of cooking).

CLASSIC STUFFING
Start to finish: 40 minutes

Ditch the extra broth and instead drizzle the finished stuffing with some of the
pan drippings from the roasted turkey.
Servings: 8
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 large yellow onion, diced
3 ribs celery, diced
2 cups low-sodium chicken or turkey
broth (or vegetable if making some or
all of the stuffing vegetarian-friendly)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
8 cups toasted or stale bread (cut into
1-inch cubes)
Heat the oven to 375 F. Butter a large
baking pan or casserole dish (such as a
9-inch-by-13-inch baking pan).
In a large deep skillet over medium,
melt the butter. Add the onion and celery and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, or until
the onion is translucent and tender. Add
the broth, salt, pepper, sage, thyme and
rosemary. Bring to a simmer. Remove

from the heat and gently stir in the


bread cubes. If desired, reserve some for
stuffing the turkey. Transfer the remaining mixture to the prepared baking dish
and bake for 20 minutes, or until the
top is toasted.
Stuffing that is cooked in the bird
must reach 165 F by the end of cooking. Use an instant thermometer inserted into the center of the stuffing to get
an accurate reading. Stuffing that is
cooked in a baking dish should be drizzled with pan drippings from the roast
turkey just before serving (unless it is
intended for vegetarians). The stuffing
also can be modified with the following

No turkey needed for


this cornbread stuffing
By Alison Ladman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

You dont need a turkey to need stuffing on your


Thanksgiving table. Many Americans long ago abandoned
the fuss of cooking the stuffing in the bird. In addition to
cutting the time it takes to get the turkey on the table, this
also frees up the side dish to be enjoyed by vegetarians.
But rather than simply spoon the stuffing into a casserole
dish, we took it a step beyond. We spooned a delicious
savory cornbread stuffing into portobello mushroom caps.
The result is as attractive as it is delicious.
And for do-ahead ease, you could prep these up through
the stage of stuffing the mushroom caps, then refrigerating
them until closer to serving.

This dish can be made the day before and reheated before serving, making it ideal to bring to a Thanksgiving feast.

Sweet potatoes get a kick from chipotles


By Elizabeth Karmel
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHIPOTLE SWEET POTATO


AND MAPLE SYRUP PUREE

Many years ago, I made this chipotle


sweet potato puree for my good friend,
pie and cake expert Rose Levy
Beranbaum. Since that day, we have
each made it again and again as a great
fall and winter side dish.
Rose likes to add Aleppo pepper a
Turkish crushed chili pepper that has
an ancho-like flavor but is slightly
sweeter
and
tart.
And,
for
Thanksgiving, I like to add a crust of
mini marshmallows as a nod to everyones favorite, candied yams with
marshmallows. In this dish, the
marshmallows add a nice counter-balance to the smoky heat of the chipotles in adobo sauce and a beautiful
crust. And, unlike candied yams, the
dish isnt cloyingly sweet.
This dish can be made the day before
and reheated before serving, making it
ideal to bring to a Thanksgiving feast
or to make in advance if you are hosting the holiday. The recipe has just a
few ingredients so it is essential to buy
the best quality ingredients that you
can find. Make sure to purchase Garnet
sweet potatoes which have a deep
orange color, and have a silkier texture
than other sweet potatoes.

When choosing the potatoes, pick


about 5 large or 10 medium-sized potatoes. Make sure the skin is tight, no
wrinkles and almost shiny.
Start to finish: One hour and 40 minutes (20 minutes active)
Servings: About 8
5-10 Garnet sweet potatoes about 5
pounds total
1 overflowing cup real maple syrup:
1 cup sour cream
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
2 to 3 canned chipotles in adobo
sauce
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Fine sea salt to taste
Mini marshmallows for topping
Preheat oven to 400 F.
Clean any dirt and bad spots off
potatoes with a rough brush. Dry well.
Coat all over with a little Crisco or
olive oil and prick the tops with a fork
about three times.
Set the potatoes on a baking sheet
lined with a Silpat or aluminum foil.
Place in the center of the oven and
bake until you can see the sugars oozing out of the fork holes, about 1 hour,
or more for larger potatoes. You can
also test for doneness by inserting a

small sharp knife in the potatoes if


it slips in easily, they are done. Turn
off the heat and let sit in the oven for
30-60 minutes to finish baking. They
will be silky soft.
Meanwhile, combine maple syrup,
sour cream, butter, chipotles in adobo,
cinnamon and salt in a small bowl.
Scrape the mixture into a food processor and puree until smooth, scraping
down the sides as needed.
Peel the potatoes, and add the warm
peeled potatoes to the food processor.
Process until silky smooth, scraping
down the sides as needed.
Taste for seasoning, adding more
salt, or maple syrup if needed. If the
mixture is too stiff, add a bit more butter and/or sour cream. Transfer to an
oven-safe casserole dish.
Just before serving, sprinkle top
with mini marshmallows and set in a
400 F oven for 5-7 minutes until
browned and puffy. Be sure to watch as
the marshmallows can go from brown
to black quickly.
If making in advance: Store covered
in the refrigerator. Remove and place
in a preheated 350 F oven for 45 minutes or until hot throughout. Just
before serving, sprinkle top with mini
marshmallows and bake at 400 F until
browned and puffy.

CORNBREAD MUSHROOM STUFFING


Start to finish: 30 minutes
Servings: 8
8 large portobello mushroom caps
Salt and ground black pepper

Classic meal needs classic


dessert pumpkin pie
By Alison Ladman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A classic Thanksgiving dinner is only complete with the


classic finish an aromatic pumpkin pie rich with cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg, and topped with pillowy soft
mounds of whipped cream. To sweeten both the pie and the
cream, we turned to maple syrup, which complements the
other ingredients with a rich, but still subtle sweetness.

MAPLE PUMPKIN PIE


WITH CINNAMON-MAPLE WHIPPED CREAM
Start to finish: 1 hour 15 minutes
Servings: 8
For the pie:
9-inch prepared deep-dish pie crust in a pan
15-ounce can pumpkin puree
1 cup grade B maple syrup
1 cup heavy cream
4 eggs
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon dried ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
Pinch salt
For the whipped cream:
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup sugar
Heat the oven to 350 F. Place the pie crust on a baking
sheet.
To make the pie filling, in a medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, heavy cream, eggs, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt. Pour into the prepared pie
crust. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the center is just
barely set. Set on a rack to cool completely.
When ready to serve, make the whipped cream. In a medium bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, cinnamon and
maple sugar until the cream forms soft peaks. Serve alongside the pie.

In this double-crust apple pie, grated Parmesan cheese is blended into the crust, giving it a savory, salty hit that complements
the sweet, tart apples so nicely.

Giving thanks for apples and Parmesan cheese


By Alison Ladman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Apples and cheese pair so nicely


together, we saw no reason not to join
them in a Thanksgiving-worthy pie.
In this double-crust apple pie, grated
Parmesan cheese is blended into the
crust, giving it a savory, salty hit that
complements the sweet, tart apples so
nicely.
To make your Thanksgiving prep a
little easier, make the dough for the
crusts a day or so ahead, then divide it
in two and form each piece into a disk.
Wrap each disk in plastic wrap, then
refrigerate until you are ready to bake.

DUTCH APPLE PIE WITH


PARMESAN CRUST
Start to finish: 1 hour 30 minutes
(30 minutes active)
Servings: 8
For the crust:
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, cold, cut in

chunks
1 egg
1/4 cup ice water
For the filling:
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons cornstarch
5 large baking apples, peeled, cored
and sliced
2/3 cup raisins
Additional sugar, if desired
In a food processor, pulse together
the sugar, salt and flour. Add the
Parmesan and pulse to mix in. Add the
butter and pulse to combine until the
texture resembles coarse cornmeal.
Add the egg and the ice water and pulse
again, just until the dough starts to
come together.
Shape the dough into 2 discs. The
dough can be used immediately or
wrapped in plastic and refrigerated.
On a lightly floured surface, roll one
disc of dough into a 12-inch circle.
Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie pan.
If the dough cracks around the edges,
pinch it back together. The dough

& City Manager Je Maltbie

should overhang the pan slightly.


Roll the second disc into a 12-inch
circle and set aside.
Heat the oven to 350 F.
To make the filling, in a medium
bowl whisk together the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and cornstarch. Add
the apples and raisins, then toss well.
Transfer the filling to the pie pan,
arranging it evenly over the dough.
Carefully place the second round of
dough over the apples. Fold the edges
of the top dough under the bottom
round, then pinch together, crimping
to make a decorative edge. If desired,
sprinkle the top with sugar if desired.
Use a paring knife to cut a few steam
slits in the top of the crust.
Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until
the filling is bubbling and the crust is
golden. If the crust begins to get too
brown, tent with foil. Let cool before
serving.

TURKEY
Continued from page 19
lations. And because this is
Thanksgiving, all estimates are generous to allow for plenty of seconds and
leftovers.

HOW BIG?
For turkeys less than 16 pounds, estimate 1 pound per serving (this accounts
for bone weight). For larger birds, a bit
less is fine; they have a higher meat-tobone ratio. But if your goal is to have
very ample leftovers, aim for 1 1/2
pounds per person no matter how big
the turkey is.
For 8 people, buy a 12-pound turkey
For 10 people, buy a 15-pound
turkey
For 12 people, buy an 18-pound
turkey
For 14 people, buy a 20-pound
turkey

THE BIG THAW


The safest way to thaw a frozen turkey
is in the refrigerator. Youll need about
24 hours per 4 to 5 pounds of turkey.
For speedier thawing, put the turkey
(still in its wrapper) in a sink of cold
water. Change the water every 30 minutes, and plan for about 30 minutes per
pound.

THE BRINE
A good brine uses kosher salt and
sugar in a 1-to-1 ratio, and usually no
more than 1 cup of each. Feel free to add
any other seasonings. Brines typically
are made by heating the salt, sugar and
seasonings with a bit of water until dissolved. This mixture then is diluted
with additional cold water (volume will
vary depending on the size of your bird)
and ice. Be certain the brine is completely cooled before using it.
Turkeys should be brined for at least
8 to 10 hours, but can go as long as 72
hours. A good rule of thumb is, the
longer the brine, the weaker the brine.
So for a 10-hour soak, use 1 cup each of
salt and sugar. For a longer one, consider backing down to 3/4 cup each.
Always keep the bird refrigerated during brining. If the turkey is too big, an
ice-filled cooler stored outside works,
too.
Dont have the time or patience to
brine? Try salting instead. In fact, plenty of folks say salting a turkey produces
meat with far better flavor than brining.
To do it, set the turkey on a platter, then
rub a generous amount of kosher salt on
all surfaces. Cover with plastic wrap
and refrigerate overnight. When youre
ready to roast, rinse the salt from the
turkey, pat it dry and pop it in the oven.

THE ROAST
Roasting temperatures vary widely
by recipe. Some go at a slow and steady
325 F. Others crank the heat to 400 F or
425 F for the first hour, then
drop it down for the rest of
the time.
However you roast, use an
instant thermometer inserted
at the innermost part of the
thigh (without touching
bone) to determine when
your turkey is done. The meat
needs to hit 165 F for safe
eating, though some people
say thigh meat tastes better
at 170 F.
If the outside of the bird
gets too dark before the center reaches the proper temperature, cover it with foil.
The following roasting
time estimates are based on a
stuffed turkey cooked at 325
F. Reduce cooking time by
20 to 40 minutes for turkeys
that are not stuffed (estimate
total roasting times at 15
minutes per pound for
unstuffed birds). And remember, a crowded oven cooks
more slowly, so plan ahead if
your bird needs to share the
space.

Using a convection oven? They are


great at browning, but require heating
or timing adjustments. Either cut the
temperature by about 25 F from what is
called for by the recipe and cook for the
time directed, or roast at the suggested
temperature, but reduce the cooking
time by about 25 percent.
The following times are for a standard
oven:
12-pound turkey: 3 to 4 hours at 325
F
15-pound turkey: 4 to 4 1/2 hours at
325 F
18-pound turkey: 4 1/2 to 5 hours at
325 F
20-pound turkey: 5 to 6 hours at 325
F

THE TEMPERATURE
Ignore the pop-up thermometers that
come with some turkeys. Instead, use a
good instant-read thermometer and test
the temperature early and often. Our
chefs generally vote to let breast meat
reach somewhere between 160 F and
165 F, and to take dark meat to around
180 F. But Harold McGee, food scientist and author of On Food and
Cooking, says to pull the bird out of
the oven when the breast hits 150
degrees and the thigh registers 160
degrees. Those standard higher temperatures give you standard dry turkey
meat, McGee says. Lower temperatures mean juicier meat.
And whats his trick for protecting
the breast? Take the bird out of the
fridge a few hours in advance of cooking, he says. Let the legs warm up,
but cover the breast with a bag of
crushed ice. Seriously.
Of course, all of these tips call for
cooking the turkey to below the 165 F
that is considered safe. Thats because
roasted meats of all persuasions continue to rise in temperature after they are
removed from the oven. And thats why
if you leave it in the oven until it reaches 165 F youll end up with an overcooked turkey.

THE BASTE
Basting the bird with its juices helps
crisp the skin and flavor the meat. Do it
every 30 minutes, but no more.
Opening the oven door too frequently
lets heat escape and can significantly
slow the cooking.

THE REST
The turkey never should go directly
from the oven to the table. Like most
meat, it needs to rest before serving for
the juices to redistribute. Cover the
turkey with foil and a few bath towels
layered over that (to keep it warm), then
let it rest for 20 to 30 minutes before
carving.

THE GEAR
You dont need to drop a load of cash
on special equipment to be thankful
this Thanksgiving, but there are some
tools that make life easier (and the food
safer). A digital instant thermometer or

Friday Nov. 18, 2016

23

wired probe (that remains in the turkey


during roasting) is the most critical.
Cheap thermometers will set you back
no more than $20.
A heavy duty roasting pan is a worthwhile investment, but only if you make
gravy from the drippings (the pan can
be set on the stovetop after roasting)
and if you roast other critters during the
rest of the year. Otherwise, do yourself
a favor and spend a few bucks on a disposable foil roasting pan (get a sturdy
one). This makes cleanup a whole lot
easier.
Speaking of foil, get the good stuff.
Skip the wimpy 12-inch rolls and grab
the heavy duty 18-inch stuff. It costs a
few dollars more, but makes it easier to
line pans, cover birds browning too
quickly and wrap leftovers.

THE SIDES
Carrots: a 1-pound bag makes 4 to 5
servings
Cranberry sauce: a 12-ounce package of fresh cranberries makes about 2
1/4 cups of sauce; a 16-ounce can has 6
servings
Gravy: plan for 1/3 cup of gravy per
person
Green beans: 1 1/2 pounds of beans
makes 6 to 8 servings
Mashed potatoes: a 5-pound bag of
potatoes makes 10 servings
Stuffing: a 14-ounce bag of stuffing
makes about 11 servings

DOUBLE OVEN TROUBLE?


Are you lucky enough to be blessed
with two ovens? Your Thanksgiving
prep just got easier. Heres how to make
the most of the extra roasting space.
Dedicate one oven (if one is larger,
use the larger) to the turkey. Place one
rack on the ovens lowest shelf and
remove all others. When the bird goes
in the oven, it goes on that bottom
rack. Now see if you have room to add
another rack over it. If so, this is the
ideal place to cook your stuffing
(assuming it isnt in the bird), au gratin
potatoes and green bean casseroles,
which can cook at the same temperature
at the bird.
Early in the day, use the second oven
to cook anything that can be done
ahead. Pies and rolls are good. Closer to
the time you will serve the meal, use the
second oven to cook things that need a
higher temperature than the turkey,
such as roasted root vegetables and
pies. As the turkey is being carved, use
both ovens to reheat items (such as
those rolls) or keep things warm; 150 F
to 200 F is about right for both tasks.

THE DESSERTS
Pie: a 9-inch pie can be cut into 8
modest slices.
Whipped cream: Dolloping whipped
cream on those 8 modest slices will
require 1 cup of heavy cream beaten
with 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (a
splash of vanilla extract is nice, too)
Ice cream: a la mode doesnt require
much 1 pint per pie should suffice.

Philippines Duterte mulls leaving international court


By Teresa Cerojano
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MANILA,
Philippines

Philippine President Rodrigo


Duterte said Thursday he might
follow Russias example and withdraw from the International
Criminal Court, where his critics
say he could be charged over the
thousands killed in his war on
drugs.
In a statement before flying to
Peru to attend the annual summit
of Asia-Pacific leaders, Duterte
also said the United Nations has
been unsuccessful in stopping
wars. He said if China and Russia
decide to create a new world order,
he would be the first to join them
and leave the U.N., which he said
is dominated by the U.S.
You know, if China and Russia
would decide to create a new order,
I would be the first to join, he
said, adding that he would quit the
U.N.
U. N. spokesman Farhan Haq
said the U.N. is aware of reports
that Duterte is considering withdrawing his country from the ICC
but that the world body has not yet
received any formal communication from the Philippines. He
urged them and other nations to
reconsider.

REUTERS

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte speaks after arriving from Malaysia, at Davao International airport in Davao
city in southern Philippines.
Duterte also criticized the global
agreement to fight climate
change, saying there are no penalties for violators and it is not clear

which industrialized countries will


contribute money to support
developing countries efforts
against global warming. He said

that was the reason why Presidentelect Donald Trump does not want
the U.S. to spend on fighting climate change.

During his campaign, Trump


said he would pull the U.S. out of
the Paris pact on climate change.
The foul-mouthed Duterte said
that like Russia, he might withdraw from the ICC because we the
small ones are the only ones
being beaten up, but nothing has
been done for the thousands of
children and women dying in
bombings in Syria and Iraq.
Duterte is expected to meet with
Russian President Vladimir Putin
at the sidelines of the summit in
Lima. He requested for the bilateral meeting because he wants to
meet and be friends with Putin,
whom he said was his idol.
Human rights advocates have
criticized Dutertes anti-drug campaign that has left more than
4,000 suspected addicts and pushers dead since July. They said the
killings can be a basis to charge
him for crimes against humanity
before the Netherlands-based
court.
Duterte said he has intentionally
used foul language including
calling Obama a son of a bitch
because Obama has trivialized
the Philippines drug problem
when there are already around 4
million Filipinos addicted to
drugs. The country has a population of more than 103 million.

Seventy-three killed in tanker explosion in Mozambique


By Christopher Torchia
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

JOHANNESBURG A fuel
tanker exploded in northern
Mozambique as residents gathered
around to buy fuel from the driver
on Thursday, killing 73 people
and injuring
110
others,

Mozambican media reported.


Dozens of charred bodies were
scattered around the blast site in
the town of Caphiridzange in Tete
province, and government officials believed more bodies might
be in surrounding woods, Radio
Mozambique reported. Some
badly burned people had tried to

run into a nearby river, the radio


said.
A truck driver from neighboring
Malawi had turned off the main
road to sell fuel to local residents,
who were gathered around the
vehicle when the fuel caught fire,
according to Radio Mozambique.
Medical teams rushed to the

scene of the accident, evacuating


the injured in ambulances and
other vehicles. Searchers looked
for more victims, though their
efforts were hampered as night
fell.
The cause of the explosion was
not immediately clear. Citing
Mozambican
reports,
the

Portuguese news agency Lusa said


one theory was that a fire near the
tanker set off the blast, while
another theory pointed to a lightning strike as residents were collecting the fuel.
A national government task
force planned to travel to the accident site on Friday.
