Wildfires grow to size of NYC

Grim search for victims begins in parts of wine country devastated by fires
By Ellen Knickmeyer

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SONOMA Teams with cadaver dogs

began a grim search Thursday for more dead
in parts of California wine country devastat-
ed by wildfires, resorting in some cases to
serial numbers stamped on medical
implants to identify remains that turned up
in the charred ruins.
New deaths confirmed Thursday took the
toll to 31, making this the deadliest week of
wildfires in California history.
Many of the flames still burned out of
control, and the fires grew to more than 300
square miles, an area as large as New York
City.
Sonoma and Napa counties endured a
fourth day of choking smoke while many
residents fled to shelters or camped out on
beaches to await word on their homes and
loved ones.
A forecast for gusty winds and dry air
threatened to fan the fires further.
Some of the states most historic tourist
sites, including Sonoma city and Calistoga
in Napa Valley, were ghost towns populated
only by fire crews trying to stop the
advancing infernos.
Calistoga, known for wine tastings and
hot springs, had dozens of firefighters
staged at street corners. Ash rained down
from the sky and a thick haze covered the

Brown signs bills to help
California women, families
By Kathleen Ronayne
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO California women
will have more tools to fight pay dis-
crimination, more resources to buy dia-
pers and pay for childcare, and more
opportunities for parental leave under
bills signed Thursday by Gov. Jerry
Brown.
California is not just about Silicon
Valley, its not just about agriculture,
its not just about Hollywood its
about families and kids, Brown said
before signing the bills outside a
Sacramento center that provides
resources for homeless women.
The 26-member legislative Womens
Caucus championed the nine bills aimed
at improving the lives of California
women and families, with several focus-
ing on victims of domestic violence.
They are broad in scope, aimed at help-
ing women in the workplace and at
home. California is once again leading
the way when it comes to helping
women who need it the most, said
Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzales
Fletcher of San
Diego.
One bill requires
small businesses
employing between
20 and 49 people to
offer 12 weeks of
unpaid maternity and
paternity leave to
Jerry Brown employees, giving
new parents assur-
ance they can stay home with their chil-
dren without being fired. Existing state
law only imposes that requires for larger
companies.
Another workplace-focused bill bans
employers from asking applicants
about their past salaries. That builds on
a 2015 law signed by Brown making it
easier for women to push for equal pay.
Several other bills focus on health and
wellness. Among them is a requirement
that public schools with high popula-
tions of low-income students provide
free tampons and menstrual products in
womens and girls restrooms.
Assemblywoman Cristina Garcia, chair
of the Womens Caucus, has dubbed her-
LOCAL/STATE
self the tampon queen in her fight for
the bill.
Ive heard from young girls across
the state who miss school on a regular
basis because they cant afford these
products, Garcia said.
A bill by Gonzales Fletcher will allow
low-income women on public assis-
tance to get up to $30 a month help to
buy diapers for children under three.
Brown vetoed a similar bill last year.
Other bills in the package will:
Make obtaining sexual images or
sexual acts through extortion a crime,
sometimes called sextortion
Allow parents taking English as a
second language or high school equiva-
lency courses to be eligible for subsi-
dized childcare
Provide homeless benefits such as
hotel vouchers to domestic violence

Police check high school after threat
A San Mateo high school was deemed safe after police con-
ducted a safety check of it Thursday afternoon following the
discovery of a threat written on a bathroom wall, police said.
Officers responded at about noon to San Mateo High School
at 506 N. Delaware St. after a school staff member found the
anonymous threat.To be safe, administrators secured the cam-
pus by locking all classroom doors and allowing classes to
continue. Police said the campus was not evacuated and was
deemed safe after an officer search.
Police urge parents to talk with their children about making
false threats, which are misdemeanor offenses and draw offi-
cers away from other needs. Police said officers are investigat-
ing who made the threat. The threat is the sixth of a similar
nature left in bathrooms at schools in the district in just over a
week. Police said other area school districts have recently
experienced similar threats.
Smoke affects flights at SFO
Smoke from numerous wildfires in the North Bay affected
visibility Thursday at San Francisco International Airport,
resulting in many delays and cancellations, an airport
spokesman said.
As of mid-morning, 81 flights had been canceled and about
10 percent of flights were delayed an average of 30 to 45 min-
utes, SFO spokesman Doug Yakel said. The number of cancel-
lations was about evenly split between arrivals and departures.

County takes aim at Hepatitis B

Education and screening to slow spread of preventable disease
By Anna Schuessler
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
In an effort to raise awareness about a
virus capable of taking lives, San Mateo
County officials are throwing support
behind an organization aimed at raising
awareness and increasing access to screen-
ings and treatment options for Hepatitis B.
With funding and other support from
county and health officials, San Francisco
Hep B Free-Bay Area announced at a
Thursday press conference it will be
expanding its efforts into San Mateo
County, where an estimated 200,000 resi-
dents are at risk of infection of a virus that
can cause liver cancer with almost no symp-
toms, said Richard So, program coordinator
for the organization.
Affecting 1 in 12 Asian Pacific Islanders
in the United States with chronic infec-
tions, So said the virus has been known to
disproportionately affect the Asian-
American population, adding that some
two-thirds of those with chronic infections
dont know they are infected.
These are a ton of people who just
because theyre unaware of the issue dont
know they have a disease that could actually
kill them, he said.
With a track record for spreading the word
about ways to prevent and treat the disease
among physicians and members of the
Asian-American community in San
Francisco, San Francisco Hep B Free-Bay
Area is looking to help even more residents
who might be at risk. Since the organiza-
tion got its start some 10 years ago, its
team of volunteers has been spreading the
word about its vaccine and treatments for
keeping further complications, such as
liver cancer, at bay, said the organizations
Executive Director Arcadi Kolchak.
By partnering with the county, the
Peninsula Health Care District, Stanford
Health Care, the Lazarez Cancer Foundation
and the Silicon Valley Lions Club, among
other partners, the group is planning to
offer free blood tests, which can screen for
Millbrae Councilman Wayne Lee expresses his enthusiasm for the expansion of screenings and
educational programs aimed at reducing the spread of Hepatitis B in San Mateo County. A
preventable disease that disproportionately affects Asian communities, the Hepatitis B virus
can cause deadly diseases like liver cancer if it goes undetected.
the virus, and develop an outreach and edu-
cation program to reach the countys at-risk
residents. Kolchak said the group also
plans to work with physicians in the coun-
ty to ensure they are incorporating best
practices with the virus into their care.
Dave Pine, vice president of the countys
Board of Supervisors, said he was proud to
contribute $50,000 of the countys Measure
K funds toward a model known to be effec-
tive in San Francisco. He said he looked for-
ward to seeing the program make a big dif-
ference in the lives of the countys Asian
Pacific Islander community, which he said
comprises an estimated 30 percent of the
countys population.
We have very real needs here in San
Mateo County, he said. Sometimes we
forget how incredibly diverse our popula-
tion is.
ANNA SCHUESSLER/DAILY JOURNAL
Millbrae Councilman Wayne Lee
expressed gratitude to Pine and the pro-
grams many partners for taking a steps
toward tackling an issue that affects so
many of the countys residents. The topic
hit close to home for Lee, who said his
father contracted the virus at birth from his
grandmother and has been an advocate for
efforts to prevent the spread of the illness.
The tragic thing about Hep B is its so
preventable, he said.
According to Kolchak, a daily pill is all it
can take to keep viral loads low enough to
prevent further complications with the
virus, such as liver cancer. He said the group
is looking forward to working with medical
professionals at the countys hospitals to
identify avenues for reaching groups with
high concentrations of Asian Pacific
Islanders, such as faith-based organiza-
tions, and letting them know about screen-
ing opportunities.
This is an issue that impacts the API
community so we definitely need people
that speak the language, he said.
Kolchak said the group is also hoping to
reach at least 100 San Mateo County physi-
cians in its first year with educational pro-
grams aimed at helping them understand
how the disease can be prevented, detected
and treated. Testing pregnant mothers for
the disease, for example, is one way to stop
the spread of the disease between genera-
tions, said So.
Lawrence Cappel, chair of the Peninsula
Health Care District Board of Directors,
welcomed the programs expansion into
San Mateo County and its promise to offer
targeted screening and outreach to affected
populations. He acknowledged that physi-
cians sometimes dont receive a lot of train-
ing on the disease, and said the district
would be working with the organization to
develop educational programs to fill that
gap.
If we can actually increase that, thats a
good thing, he said.
For Andrew, a San Mateo County eighth-
grader who didnt want to give his last
name, the failure of eight doctors to correct-
ly diagnose his father led to a delay in treat-
ment that could have saved his life.
Even doctors can misinterpret the symp-
toms, he said. No one thought that a
healthy-looking 37-year-old with a stom-
achache could be slowly dying of liver can-
cer.
Andrew voiced support for the spread of
San Francisco Hep B Free-Bay Areas work,
which he said could rewrite the story of fam-
ilies lives that could be affected by the
virus.
Kolchak was encouraged by the expan-
sion of the organizations work further
south, which he hopes will continue spread
into Santa Clara and Alameda counties and
gives the cause a more unified voice.
This isnt something we want to see hap-
pen for a year or two and then go away, he
said.

Residents weigh in on electrification changes
By Anna Schuessler
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Planned updates needed to modernize and
electrify the Caltrain corridor through the
Peninsula were met with concerns lodged by
San Carlos and Belmont residents Wednesday
about the timing and impact of construction
and how the work will intersect with future
rail projects.
Detailing a schedule for laying the founda-
tion and installing poles and wires needed to
power a new electric fleet at a community out-
reach meeting, Caltrain officials shed light
on the changes needed to replace its 30-year-
old diesel fleet and send cleaner electric train
cars up and down the Peninsula by 2021.
After a $647 million federal grant was finally
approved for Caltrains $2 billion modern-
ization program in May, phases of the proj-
ect now years in the making are taking shape
which includes electrifying 51 miles of
track between San Francisco and San Jose.
Greg Parks, a spokesman for the project,
said officials are targeting December to begin
tree pruning and removal along a stretch of
the corridor running through San Carlos and
Belmont, with excavation and foundation-
building for the poles and wires in the fleets
new electrical system expected to start in the
summer of 2018 and last three or four
months. By fall of 2018, officials are hoping
to begin installing the poles and wiring,
which would complete the overhead contact
system designed to connect the electric train
cars to their power source.
Parks said workers are expected to install
an estimated 100 poles within the Belmont
stretch of the corridor and 130 poles in San
Carlos, with much of the work to be done at
night between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. and, at
times, on weekends, so daytime Caltrain
LOCAL
service is not interrupted. With an estimated
180 feet between each pole, Parks said multi-
ple poles could be installed in one day and
that crews would move from one section of
the corridor to another in subsequent days.
Hopefully were not impacting one specif-
ic area for too long, he said.
After one San Carlos resident expressed
concerns she had already heard noise at night
in her home near the tracks, Marty Gillman, a
representative of Balfour Beatty Rail, the
company carrying out the electrification
work, said crews have only done geotechni-
cal studies of that stretch of corridor so far. He
said crews have used vacuum excavators to
determine if utilities are located near poten-
tial pole locations, but have not started the
foundation work yet.
Other residents asked officials if work could
be scheduled during the day to avoid disrupt-
ing residents at night when they are home.
Gillman said as much work as possible would
be completed during the day, but the width of
the right-of-way could be a limiting factor in
some areas where it is narrow and wouldnt
allow for construction equipment and trains
to pass through at the same time.
Gillman added that noise would be moni-
tored throughout construction and residents
could contact Caltrain representatives to
lodge complaints should they hear loud nois-
es. Parks said project representatives would
hold community meetings before the poles
and wiring are installed to provide project
updates. Others were concerned about the
placement of the poles and if there are any
visual mitigations planned for them. Gillman
said poles would be placed in the center of the
tracks where possible, but may have to be
located on the outside of the tracks when
there is not enough room in the center.
Parks addressed another concern many resi-
dents had about how the trees along the corri-
dor would be affected. He said 25 trees in the
Caltrain right-of-way will be removed in
Belmont, with nine on Caltrain property
pruned more than 25 percent and 14 others
pruned less than 25 percent. In San Carlos, he
said one tree in the Caltrain right-of-way and
10 on public property are expected to be
removed, with 17 on Caltrain property to be
pruned more than 25 percent and more than
50 others to be pruned less than 25 percent.
Parks said any trees removed or pruned more
than 25 percent would be replaced with either
the same species or something similar.
We have a full tree replacement plan, its
really based on what tree is being removed,
said Parks.
Resident Sarah Kelsey asked officials if
information on the size and tree species
planned to replace the ones removed could be
made available on the project website and
also wondered if plans to replace them could
wait until a decision on how high-speed rail
service would be incorporated with Caltrain
service through the corridor. Kelsey was par-
ticularly concerned about whether two addi-
tional passing railroad tracks between San
Mateo and Redwood City, one idea recently
floated by rail officials as a strategy for
accommodating high-speed trains through
the Peninsula, would eventually be built and
if plans for tree replacement would change
once that is determined.
It seems like the responsible thing to do
would be to wait, she said.
Caltrain spokesman Brent Tietjen said
high-speed rail plans are part of a separate
project operated by a separate agency and that
officials are still studying whether passing
tracks will be needed in that stretch of the cor-
ridor. He said officials may have more infor-
mation on high-speed rail plans at an Oct. 24

community meeting planned at the San

San Carlos resident Susie McKee said she
was particularly concerned about adding
high-speed rail service to the corridor given
the number of projects planned nearby.
I dont see where its going to be, she
said. Because her home is just east of the San
Carlos Caltrain station on Old County Road,
McKee has been watching as new buildings
go up as part of the San Carlos Transit
Village, a mixed-use residential and commer-
cial project approved by the San Carlos City
Council in late 2013. She said she wondered
how the timelines associated with Caltrain
electrification, high-speed rail and the
Transit Village near her home will intersect.
Paula Siegel, another San Carlos resident
who lives close to the citys Caltrain station,
was also concerned about the confluence of
projects near her home. She said she and her
husband moved to be near the train, which
they use daily, and was concerned their distur-
bance by these projects would be prolonged
should passing tracks be incorporated into
the plans at a later date.
I feel like everything should have been
coordinated together and should try to be
coordinated now, she said. Were great sup-
porters of this, but it has to be done in a way
that minimizes the disturbance and the cost,
she said.

Workers board up a broken window at the Mandalay Bay hotel, where shooter Stephen
Paddock conducted his mass shooting along the Las Vegas Strip.
Official: Vegas hotel didnt
immediately report gunfire
By Michael Balsamo
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Mandalay Bay hotel officials didnt notify
police about a shooting in a hallway inside
the high-rise until after Stephen Paddock
opened fire on the crowd at a country music
festival outside, a federal official told The
Associated Press on Thursday.
The disclosure means there may have been
a delay of some six minutes in summoning
police to the scene of what became the dead-
liest mass shooting in modern U.S. history.
The official was briefed by law enforce-
ment but wasnt authorized to discuss the
matter publicly and spoke on condition of
anonymity.
In the most recent chronology given by
investigators, Paddock sprayed 200 rounds
into the hallway on the 32nd floor Oct. 1,
wounding an unarmed security guard in the
leg, six minutes before he unleashed his bar-
rage of bullets on the festival crowd. He
killed 58 people and injured nearly 500.
Over the past few days, Las Vegas police
and the Mandalay Bays corporate parent,
MGM Resorts International, would not
answer questions about whether the hotel
notified police about the hallway shooting

in the minutes before the massacre began.
MGM has said the chronology given by
police is inaccurate, but it hasnt said what
was wrong with it.
These people that were killed and injured
deserve to have those six minutes to protect
them, said Chad Pinkerton, an attorney for
Paige Gasper, a California college student
who was shot under the arm in the attack.
We lost those six minutes.
But Ron Hosko, a former FBI assistant
director who has worked on SWAT teams,
said the six minutes wouldnt have been
enough time for officers to stop the attack.
Investigators have yet to figure out what
drove Paddock to mass murder.
The 64-year-old high-stakes gambler and
real estate investor began his 10-minute
attack on the crowd at 10:05 p.m., firing
more than 1,000 rounds from his bashed-out
windows, police said. Police didnt arrive on
the 32nd floor until 10:17 p.m., two min-
utes after he had stopped shooting.
The timeline given by police earlier this
week differed dramatically from the one they
gave last week: that Paddock shot through
his door and wounded the guard, Jesus
Campos, after he had opened fire on the
crowd.
EPA orders cleanup at Texas
toxic site flooded by Harvey
By Michael Biesecker
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON The Trump administra-
tion has handed a rare victory to environ-
mentalists, ordering two big corporations
this week to pay $115 million to clean up a
Texas toxic waste site that may have spread
dangerous levels of pollution during flood-
ing from Hurricane Harvey.
Environmental Protection Agency
Administrator Scott Pruitt signed a direc-
tive Wednesday requiring International
Paper and McGinnis Industrial Maintenance
Corp., a subsidiary of Waste Management
Inc., to excavate 212,000 cubic yards of
contaminated sediments from the San
Jacinto River Waste Pits.
Pruitt visited the Superfund site outside
Houston last month following historic
rains and flooding from the storm, meeting
with local environmental activists who had
campaigned for years for approval of a
cleanup plan.
Pruitt has said cleaning Superfund sites is
among his top priorities, even as he has
worked to delay and rollback a wide array of

Often Pruitt has done so
directly at the behest of

Scott Pruitt some and costly regula-

At the waste pits, both companies
opposed the expensive cleanup, arguing
that a fabric and stone cap covering the 16-
acre site was sufficient. The former site of a
demolished paper mill that operated in the
1960s, the island in the middle of the San
Jacinto River is heavily contaminated with
dioxins chemicals linked to cancer and
birth defects.
International Paper respectfully dis-

Tom Ryan, a spokesman for International

tective cap could result in significant dam-
age to public health and the local environ-
ment.

State pension costs crowd out basic services

ising pension costs
throughout the state will

The importance of HAM radios
Editor,
Im a member of the Citizens
Emergency Response Team, or CERT,
in San Mateo and a HAM radio opera-
tor. HAM radios play an important
communication role in our emer-
gency exercises.
Im surprised to note there was no
mention of this technology in any
of the recent emergencies that have
resulted in the loss of telephone and
cellphone access. HAM radios could
be used to notify authorities and the
public of the status of individuals
and conditions. Perhaps the Federal
Emergency Management Agency,
first responders or the Red Cross
could put out a request for licensed
operators to volunteer their expert-
ise for communications.
Given how common this issue has
become, it might even be worth-
while to create and train a network of
operators.

7.1 percent in the current fiscal year
and could account for 10.1 or 11.4
percent of state spending by 2029-
30.
There is no other way to look at it.
The greater the share of the state
budget pension costs account for, the
less money there is to spend on any-
thing else. As the report points out,
over the time period from 2002-03 to
2017-18, social services and higher
education have seen the greatest
reductions in spending as a share of
the state budget, with Department of
Social Services spending dropping
from 10.7 percent of the state oper-
ating expenses to 7 percent.
With pension costs expected to
continue to rise over the next decade,
more cuts are to be expected. The
report notes that among the ways the
state can accommodate the projected
increases in pension costs by 2029-
30 is a 4 percent cut across the board
or an additional 27 percent reduction
in DSS and higher expenditures.
It is important to keep in mind that
the state finds itself in this situation
despite having raised taxes and fees
many times and even passing tepid
pension reforms.
Of course, it isnt just the state

Modesto Bee op-ed
Editor,
I was very disturbed last week, not
only because of events in Las Vegas,
but also because of the highly for-
mulaic, knee-jerk reaction to them
epitomized in the op-ed Finding a
way to end nationwide gun violence
from the Modesto Bee, reproduced in
the Oct. 9 edition of the Daily
Journal.
If we are to honestly confront this
tragedy, we must not limit ourselves
to addressing symptoms, as politi-
cians are in the habit of doing when
they cry for more gun control meas-
ures. We can ban silencers and
bump-stocks, and the NRA shows
signs of going along with that, but
that would not address the root caus-
es of this behavior. When we partic-

OPINION
pension costs, but local govern-
ments and school districts. As the
Legislative Analysts Office reported
earlier this year, from just 2013-14
through 2020-21, districts across the
state will experience a tripling of
pension contributions with con-
tributions to CalPERS and CalSTRS
growing from just over $3 billion to
$9.455 billion.
The SIEPR report provides a few
case studies to illustrate the real
world impact, including the Los
Angeles Unified School District. As
a proportion of the districts budget,
pension costs have grown from 6
percent of operating expenditures in
2002-03 to nearly 9 percent now and
on track to hit 12 percent or 13.3
percent by 2029-30. This naturally
means less money for programs and
classrooms. To accommodate such
pension cost increases, SIEPR esti-
mates the district would either have
to reduce salary expenditures by 5
percent or cut all spending by 3 per-
cent.
It is imperative that we not allow
this problem to get worse or allow
squeamish politicians to keep sweep-
ing the problem under the rug.
Governments exist to serve not the
public, not to sustain unsustainable
pension benefits. Self-respecting
taxpayers should not allow this to go
on.
they have sown the wind, and they
shall reap the whirlwind (Hos.
8:7).
Perhaps instead ofprojecting our
frustrations ontothe NRA or Tom
McClintock, we might do better to
examine the role ofthe film,
musicand video gaming industries
in our own mental lives. We might
all examine ourselves and our tastes
in entertainment to better understand
why violence is so profitable and
pervasive in this country. We should
face facts. Its time for America to
repent before God.But no. It would
be so much easier simply to blame
those hicks back in thered states,
topoint our fingers elsewhere ina
self-righteous snit and side with
thosewhose eventual goal is confis-
cation of law-abiding peoples

Postcard from the front
By Herb Perez
n a recent Daily Journal article, the topic of
Burlingames Broadway was discussed. Broadways
ability to survive and thrive is a micro-example of a
greater macro-problem affecting many Bay Area cities. The
continued vitality of small business districts is under siege
not by the internet but by a more localized threat. The
biggest threats to local small business are policy-makers
and consultants. It is time to rethink the strategies
employed by cities. The success of a business district or
downtown is organic and not necessarily
engineered.
Communities are built and grown over
a period of years. A communitys compo-
sition is dynamic and constantly in ux.
It ebbs and ows with the nature of
regional employment opportunities,
housing ownership and rental inventory.
Each change brings a new cultural
dynamic and diversity of needs and inter-
Herb Perez
ests.
Commercial and retail spaces provide
cities with sales tax income. As such, city staff and policy-
makers create zoning restrictions and try to restrict what
types and number of businesses can locate in a particular
zone. They hire consultants to help them with this process.
Finally some cities create a hybrid committee comprised of
staff, consultants and local business professionals to
review potential tenants.
I have had the good fortune to participate in this process
as a spectator, participant, applicant, elected ofcial and
policy-maker. I have watched consultants with no knowl-
edge of a particular community lecture the council about
feasibility. I have watched elected(s) and city staff ponti-
cate with equal hubris and condence. This is not to place
blame but rather to illuminate the cause of the problem.
Most propose solutions for a problem that they are ill-pre-
pared to understand let alone create a solution for.
Successful retail endeavors are the result of many factors
and fortuitous accidents and less so about articial con-
structs to maximize tax dollars. The articial attempts by
those who would attempt to capture lightning in a bottle
are hubristic.
When I travel to a new city, I query a local for recommen-
dations. They are the ones who best understand a communi-
ty, having lived there and invested their time and dollars in
the local economy. When a parent wants to choose a busi-
ness or activity for their child, they will seek the counsel
of other like-minded parents or have lived in the communi-
ty. More importantly, they will choose someone with more
experience. We trust a local with folklore knowledge of a
community.
This sharply contrasts with a consultants approach. At
one city meeting, I listened to a consultant articulated con-
cepts even I had yet to experience. The most glaring dis-
connect offered was a vivid description of the view of the
Bay from a shopping center which had its view obstructed
by our levee. It became apparent the consultants may have
never visited our citys shopping centers, and most likely
did their research on a computer.
Our city and cities lose the retail commercial battle every
day to surrounding communities. This is in a large part to
the realities of commerce and population. The struggles of
my city, Foster City, are not unique but do require a unique
solution. Despite the advice of numerous consultants, our
new retail spaces remain vacant and struggle to nd second-
tier tenants. We must embrace our uniqueness and internally
address old concepts of what our city is or was, and what it
must become.
San Carlos enjoys success because they have created a
multidimensional approach to retail in part restrictive yet
inclusive; hence the success of Laurel Street. Burlingame
has experienced success yet remains challenged with
Broadway.
Broadway lies between two greater draws Millbrae and
its own Burlingame Avenue. Both offer more and better
options for dining and shopping. Broadways challenges
do not solely lie with landlords and high rents. They lie
with businesses and the evolution of what the new diverse
community might want.
Communities need to focus on a more holistic approach
to retail destinations. There needs to be a combination of
sales tax drivers like restaurants and goods/services. While
a ballet school may not subject to sales tax, they are cata-
lysts. As parents drop off children, they do business locally
and after the class might eat in a local restaurant. They are
part of the puzzle of a tax-generating downtown.
A consultant who studies your community behind a com-
puter can no better understand your community than a new
resident. Local government should create business district
committees comprised of city staff, chambers of commerce,
successful local business owners and longtime residents.
Conversations about what types of businesses to attract,
sustain and retain can be left in the hands of those best suit-
ed to answer the question.
I do not propose that this is the only solution but merely
offer it as a better approach. Now we may not be able to
capture lightning in a bottle, but we may allow a spark to
creating a warmer re.

Media, retaillosses pull stocks away from highs

indexes retreated from their record
highs Thursday as retailers and
media companies declined and
investors shrugged at quarterly
reports from a few big banks.
Clothing companies and other
retailers fell after womens cloth-

AT&T had its worst one-day loss
since 2008 after it said lost more
satellite and cable TV subscribers

and satellite TV companies also
stumbled. Industrial companies
and household goods makers fin-

JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup

expected in the third quarter, but
their stocks fell and so did shares
of other banks. Theyve made big
gains over the last month.

Lindsey Bell said the companies

other divisions didnt do as well.
The bar was set kind of high,
she said. Given the run that these

Tesla recalling 11,000 Business briefs

Model X SUVs for seat issue
DETROIT Tesla Inc. is recalling
11,000 Model X SUVs worldwide because
their rear seats might not lock into place.
The recall involves vehicles with fold-
flat second row seats made between Oct. 28,
2016, and Aug. 16, 2017. Tesla believes
only about 3 percent of the recalled vehicles
have the issue.
Tesla says some cables in the seat may
have been improperly tightened, which pre-
vents the left seat from locking in an
upright position. If its not properly
locked, it could move forward during a
crash.
The Palo Alto-based automaker says it has
seen no reports of injuries from the issue,
which was discovered during internal test-
ing.
Tesla began informing customers about
the recall Thursday. Owners can take their
Model X to a dealer for repairs or contact
Teslas mobile repair units.
Target joins other retailers
in offering voice shopping
NEW YORK Target is jumping into
voice-activated shopping as it deepens its
relationship with Google, offering thousands
of items found in the store except for perish-

The move is happening as Google says
shopping will be available later this year
through Google Assistant on iPhone and
Android phones, joining its Google Home
device and Android TV. So shoppers can shout
out orders to their phone while theyre run-
ning around doing errands or just walking.
Target Corp. joins Walmart and Home
Depot among others in partnering with
Google on voice shopping as they seek to
compete against Amazons dominance with
its Echo devices. Amazon started offering
Echo voice assistants in late 2014, while
Google made its debut with Google Home

IMF director Lagarde warns of
rising risks to global economy
By Martin Crutsinger
and Paul Wiseman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON The head of the
International Monetary Fund said Thursday
that a number of threats could derail the
global economic recovery, despite signs
that 2017 will be the best year for global
growth since 2010.
IMF Managing Director Christine
Lagarde warned that global financial leaders
need to beware of a number of threats from
growing political tensions to increased
skepticism about the benefits of globaliza-
tion and rising levels of income inequality.
Lagarde said it will be important for
finance ministers from the IMFs 189-mem-
ber countries to focus on addressing these
threats at a time when the global economy
appears to finally be in a sustained recovery
following the deep recession caused by the
2008 financial crisis.
It is not time to be complacent, she
told reporters at a news conference
Thursday. Policymakers can use this
moment to provide more certainty and pro-
vide for the future risks.
Lagardes warning
comes as global finan-
cial leaders gathered in
Washington for the
annual meetings of the
IMF and its sister lend-
ing organization, the
World Bank.
Prior to Lagardes
Christine
Lagarde warning, foreign finance
leaders already had raised
questions about how the Trump administra-
tion would pursue its America First poli-
cies and whether they would harm the glob-
al economy with rising protectionist trade
pressures or market disruptions from
increased tensions with North Korea and
other nations.
In addition, finance officials from the
worlds 20 biggest economies, the Group of
20, were meeting Thursday and Friday to
discuss the current economic situation.
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and
Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen are rep-
resenting the United States at these discus-
sions.

Facebooks Sandberg favors

release of Russia-linked ads
By Barbara Ortutay
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK A top Facebook executive
says ads linked to Russia trying to influence
the U.S. presidential election should
absolutely be released to the public, along
with information on whom the ads were tar-
geting.
Previously, Facebook declined to make the
ads public. While Facebooks chief operat-
ing officer, Sheryl Sandberg, now favors the
release, she didnt say Thursday when the
company would do so.
The company disclosed last month that it
found ads linked to fake accounts likely
run from Russia that sought to influence
the election. Facebook says these ads
focused on divisive political issues, such as
immigration and gun rights, in an apparent
attempt to sow discord among the U.S. pop-
ulation. The ads included
promoted events and
amplified posts that
show up in users news
feeds.
Facebook has turned
over the ads and infor-
mation on how they were
targeted, such as by geog-
Sheryl raphy or to people with a
certain political affilia-
Sandberg tion to congressional
investigators. Congress is also investigat-
ing Russia-linked ads on Twitter and Google.
In an interview with the news site Axios
on Thursday, Sandberg said Facebook has
the responsibility to prevent the kind of
abuse that occurred on its service during the
election. She said Facebook hopes to set a
new standard in transparency in advertis-
ing.

Kidnapped U.S.-Canadian family free in Pakistan

By Jill Colvin, Rob Gillies and Munir Ahmed
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Five years after they were seized by a

terrorist network in the mountains of Afghanistan, an
American woman, her Canadian husband and their children
all three born in captivity are free after a dramatic res-
cue orchestrated by the U.S. and Pakistani governments,
officials said Thursday.
The U.S. said Pakistan accomplished the release of
Caitlan Coleman of Stewartstown, Pennsylvania, and her
husband, Canadian Joshua Boyle, who were abducted and
held by the Haqqani network, which has ties to the Taliban.
The operation, which came after years of U.S. pressure on
Pakistan for assistance, unfolded quickly and ended with
what some described a dangerous raid, a shootout and a cap-
tors final, terrifying threat to kill the hostage. Boyle
suffered only a shrapnel wound, his family said.
U.S. officials did not confirm the details.
Today they are free, President Donald Trump said in a
statement, crediting the U.S.-Pakistani partnership for
securing the release. Trump later praised Pakistan for its
willingness to do more to provide security in the region
and said the release suggests other countries are starting to REUTERS
respect the United States of America once again. A still image from a video posted by the Taliban on social media on Dec. 19, 2016, shows American Caitlan Coleman, left,

backpacking trip that took them to Russia, the countries of
Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, and then to
Afghanistan. Coleman was several months pregnant at the
time, naive, but also adventuresome with a humanitari-
an bent, her father James told the Associated Press in 2012.
The Pakistani military said early Thursday the family was
being repatriated to the country of their origin. But as of
Thursday evening, it was not known when they would return
to North America. They were together in a safe, undisclosed
location in Pakistan, according to a U.S. national security
official, who wasnt authorized to discuss the case publicly
and spoke on condition of anonymity.
The Pakistani military said the family had been freed in
an intelligence-based operation by Pakistan troops after
theyd crossed the border from Afghanistan.
Boyle and the High Commissioner for Pakistan to Canada
described a scene in which gunshots rang out as Boyle, his
wife and their children were intercepted by Pakistani forces
while being transported in the trunk of their captors car.
Boyle told his parents there was a shootout in which some
of his captors were killed and said the last words hed heard
from the kidnappers were, kill the hostage, his father,
Patrick told reporters after speaking with his son. The
younger Boyle also told his father hed been hit by shrap-
nel in the leg. Three intelligence officials said the con-
frontation happened near a road crossing in the Nawa Kili
area of the district of Kohat in northwest Pakistan.
The high commissioner, Tariq Azim Khan, said, We
know there was a shootout and Pakistan commandos carried
out an attack and rescued the hostages.
A U.S. military official said a military hostage team had
flown to Pakistan Wednesday, prepared to fly the family
out. The team did a preliminary health assessment and had a
transport plane ready to go. But sometime after daybreak
there, as the family members were walking to the plane,
Boyle said he did not want to board.
Boyles father said his son did not want to board the plane
because it was headed to Bagram Air Base, a site associated
with accusations of prisoner abuse, and Boyle was philo-
sophically opposed to going to there. Another U.S. official
said Boyle was nervous about being in custody given his
family ties.

Palestinian rivals reach
preliminary deal on governing Gaza
CAIRO Palestinian rivals Fatah and Hamas reached a
preliminary agreement Thursday that could return the Gaza
Strip to President Mahmoud Abbas control and ease a
decade-old Israeli-Egyptian blockade of the coastal territo-
ry, but past attempts at unity have foundered on key issues
that remain unresolved.
The deal was announced at a news conference in Cairo,
where negotiators have been meeting, and Hamas leader
Ismail Haniyeh said it was reached under generous
Egyptian auspices, without elaborating. Egypt has been
eager to show progress in unity talks, and both Palestinian
factions face pressure to resolve their differences.
The sides have tried, and failed, to reach reconciliation
several times before, but even with such skepticism
Palestinians celebrated Thursdays announcement.
This is the dream and the ambition of every patriotic and
honorable Palestinian, to reach unification, said Ramallah
resident Jawad Abu Shaikha.
In Gaza, residents took to the streets to rejoice. I hope
there will be implementation on the ground for the issues
agreed upon, because we are truly tired from the division and
poverty, said Waed Mesameh.
A senior Palestinian official said Abbas, the leader of
Fatah, might visit Gaza in the coming weeks, depending on
the successful implementation of the agreement.

presence in Calistoga is not welcome if you
are not a first responder, Canning said dur-
ing a news briefing, explaining that fire-
fighters needed to focus on the blazes and
had no time to save people.
A few residents left behind cookies for
fire crews with signs reading, Please save
our home!
Sonoma County Sheriff Robert Giordano
said officials were still investigating hun-
dreds of reports of missing people and that
recovery teams would begin conducting
targeted searches for specific residents at
their last known addresses.
We have found bodies almost complete-
ly intact, and we have found bodies that
were nothing more than ash and bones,
the sheriff said.
Some remains have been identified using
medical devices uncovered in the scorched
heaps that were once homes. Metal
implants, such as artificial hips, have ID
numbers that helped put names to victims,
he said.
The eight new deaths confirmed Thursday
brought the total to 31. Most of the fires,
and the deaths, were in the coastal region
north of San Francisco that encompasses
wine country. Four deaths came further
inland in Yuba County.
While the Oakland Hills fire of 1991
killed 25 people by itself and the Griffith
Park fire in Los Angeles in 1933 killed 29,
never in recorded state history have so
many people been killed by a simultaneous
series of fires, said Daniel Berlant, a deputy
director with the California Department of
Forestry and Fire Protection.
Firefighters had reported modest gains
against the blazes, but containment seemed
nowhere in sight.
We are not out of this emergency. We are
not even close to being out of this emer-
gency, Emergency Operations Director
Mark Ghilarducci told a news conference.
More than 8,000 firefighters were bat-
tling the blazes, and more manpower and
equipment was pouring in from around the
country and from as far away as Australia,
officials said.
Since igniting Sunday in spots across
eight counties, the fires have transformed
many neighborhoods into wastelands. At
least 3,500 homes and businesses have
been destroyed and an estimated 25,000
people forced to flee.
The wildfires continued to grow in size. A
total count of 22 fires on Wednesday fell to
21 on Thursday because two large fires
merged, said state Fire Chief Ken Pimlott.
The challenge of fighting the fires was
compounded by the need for more help and
the growing fatigue of firefighters who
have been working for days.
We have people that have been on that
fire for three days who dont want to leave,
said Cal Fires deputy incident commander
in Napa, Barry Biermann. At some point,
you hit a road block.
Fire officials were investigating whether
downed power lines or other utility failures
could have sparked the fires. Its unclear if
downed lines and live wires resulted from
the fires or started them, said Janet Upton,
a spokeswoman for Cal Fire.
Hundreds of evacuees fled to beaches far
to the north of the fires, some sleeping on
the sand on the first night of the blazes.
Since then, authorities have brought
tents and sleeping bags and opened public
buildings and restaurants to house people
seeking refuge in the safety and clean air of
the coastal community of Bodega Bay.
Local charities and residents went to
Costco to buy supplies for the fleeing fam-
ilies. California Highway Patrol Officer
Quintin Shawk took relatives and other
evacuees into his home and office, as did
many others.
Its like a refugee camp, at his office,
Shawk said.
Community members fed breakfast to
some 200 people on the beach alone, and
Patricia Ginochio, who owns a restaurant,
opened the eatery for 300 more to sleep,
she said. The evacuees arrival was heralded
by a long line of headlights heading to
beaches.
The kids were scared, Ginochio said,
adding that temperatures by the beach drop
dramatically at night. They were shivering
and freezing.
Some lucky evacuees returned to find
what they least expected.
Anna Brooner was prepared to find rubble
and ashes after fleeing Santa Rosas devas-
tated Coffey Park neighborhood.
Then she got a call from a friend: Youre
not going to believe this. Her home was
one of only a handful still standing.
I swore when I left I was never coming
back to this place, Brooner said. I feel so
bad for all the other people. All of us came
back thinking we had nothing left.

ALERTS
Continued from page 1
Amber Alert for missing children.
Because of its broad reach, officials con-
cluded the message could panic people who
were not in danger, triggering mass evacua-
tions that would snarl traffic and delay emer-
gency vehicles, county spokeswoman
Jennifer Larocque said.
The alerts would have reached many peo-
ple not affected by the fire, she said. It
would have delayed our response.
Communities typically use an array of
emergency systems designed to alert resi-
dents of danger: text messages, phone calls,
emails and tweets. Authorities say they will
review those methods after hearing con-
cerns that some messages never got
through.
In Santa Rosa, Christil Bell was one of
the residents who said she was left in the
dark. She learned about the fires from neigh-
bors, who woke up her family at 4:30 a.m.
Monday and urged them to flee.
Authorities knew the fire was out of con-
trol and coming our way. We had to run with
nothing. No credit cards, no identification,
no clothes, no nothing, she said.
Her daughter was called by college class-
mates, but Bell said there was no sign of
police or firefighters in her neighborhood.
Ernest Chapman of Santa Rosa said his
pit bull Sabrina woke him up Monday about
2:30 a.m., when he was stunned to find
smoke, falling embers and fire. Neighbors
were honking horns and yelling for every-
one to flee.
Chapman, a mechanic and auto buff,
escaped with his two dogs and not much
else. He didnt have time, even though the
fire had been burning for about five hours
and the wind direction put his neighborhood
directly in the path.
There was no warning, no nothing, said
Chapman, whose house was destroyed.
As he fled, he said he saw one police offi-
cer on a loudspeaker and one firetruck enter-
ing his neighborhood.
State fire agency Chief Ken Pimlott said it
was too early to know if the warnings
worked as intended and that officials would
look into that after the danger passes.
People were in bed, asleep at midnight,
and these fires came down on these commu-
nities with no warning within minutes,
Pimlott said.
There was little time to notify anybody
by any means, he added.
In emergencies where a few minutes or
even seconds can save lives, the notifica-
tion systems have inherent blind spots. Not
everyone will get the message. The mes-
sages are often short and can be easily
missed.
One state planning manual urges authori-
ties to use multiple alerts.
People rarely act on a single warning
message alone, said the report, posted on
the Governors Office of Emergency
Services website.
Sonoma County uses a service that sends
out text messages or emails when an evacu-
ation is ordered, but residents have to sign
up to receive them. The county also uses a
mobile phone app that can receive mes-
sages, but again it requires a resident to opt
in.
The county also can trigger automated
emergency calls to landlines in an area
threatened by fire, but that would only reach
homes with those phones.
The Sonoma County Sheriffs Department
said the countys emergency alert service
texted thousands of warnings to residents to
flee Sunday night. However, nearly 80 cell-
phone towers were knocked out or badly
damaged, officials said.
Some evacuees escaped only when they
realized the fire was nearly at their doors.
David Leal was at his home in Santa Rosa
about 11:30 p. m. Sunday when strong
winds began stirring and he smelled smoke.
Growing anxious, he called a fire dispatcher
but was assured that there was no need to
worry unless he saw flames. He and his wife
went to bed.
At 2 a.m., they were jarred awake when a
sudden blast of wind knocked a lamp off a
nightstand. Leal looked out at neighbors
who were packing up to get out. There was
never a phone call or a knock on the door.
We didnt know what was going on, but
just instinct led us to agree on the decision
to evacuate, he said.

For the first time since the terrorist

Catholic Athletic League will postpone all
weekend football games.
The decision was in response to continued
poor air quality from the North Bay wild-

Aragon holds off M-A
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
With a changing of the guards in the
Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division in a
down year for reigning three-time champ
Menlo-Atherton, the Aragon Dons are one
of the teams who entered the season looking
to prove the heir apparent.
Aragon, though, had some reinventing of
its own to tend to, with the graduation of
All-Bay Division outside hitter Melanie
Moore, whose departure leaves a big void in
the Dons front row.
It totally does, Aragon head coach
Kelsey Stiles said We could always look to
her to put the ball away. So, were looking
to replace her.
Although the third-place Dons (7-3 PAL
Bay, 12-10 overall) have settled into the top
tier of the PAL Bay Division, they havent
done so in the typical fashion. Even in
Thursdays four-set win 25-22, 20-25, 25-
23, 25-19 over Menlo-Atherton, it took
Aragon until midway through the fourth and
decisive set to establish any kind of attack-
ing rhythm.
Weve kind of been out of rhythm and its
not just this game, Stiles said. Were try-
ing to get in rhythm but weve got a lot of
young hitters.
Middle blocker Lilli Tuivailala has a slug-
gers approach, but that is no secret. As a
result, the 5-10 senior consistently draws
double and triple teams. This pushes the
action to the young pin hitters, specifically
sophomore outside Lydia Manu, a first-year
varsity player who Thursday scored a team-
high 14 kills.
Manu has the potential to be a spectacular
terminator. Shes got ups, she hits hard and,
perhaps most important, she is a charismat-
ic force of which the team feeds when she
puts down points.
We feed off her so much, Tuivailala said.
Shes one of our go-to hitters. So when she
scores point it gets us excited. It gets us
going. Shes literally a ball of energy.
It took awhile for Aragon to tap into that

Pac-12 forms task force to seek answers for issues
By Janie McCauley

SAN FRANCISCO The Pac-12
Conference is launching its own task force
to develop reform proposals in the wake of
a federal bribery investigation that includes
two assistant coaches in the conference.
Commissioner Larry Scott expects the 10
to 12 members on his task force to address
issues that are threatening the integrity of
collegiate athletics and to protect our stu-
dent-athletes.
Unlike that 2001 season when it was only
non-league games canceled, games this
weekend are only being postponed until
after the traditional rivalry games that usu-
ally signal the end of the regular season.
A vote from the CCS executive committee
decided the playoff will start a week later
which gives athletic leagues the flexibility
to reschedule this weekends game to Nov.
9, 10 or 11. That gives leagues like the PAL
an extra week to play a 10-game schedule.

Without the benefit of CCS delaying the

Raiders game
maybemoved
in lieu of fires
By Michael Wagaman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ALAMEDA The NFL is keeping an eye
on the wildfires in Northern California and
has been exploring options to move
Sundays game between the Raiders and Los
Angeles Chargers if it becomes necessary.
Michael Signora, the NFLs vice president
of football communications, said Thursday
that the league is getting updates on the sit-
uation from both teams and from city offi-
cials in Oakland.
We continue to monitor air quality condi-
tions in the Bay Area and are in close com-
munication with both the Raiders and
Chargers, as well as local authorities,
Signora said. At this point, the game
remains scheduled for Sunday in Oakland.
At least 26 people have died and some
3,500 homes and businesses have been
destroyed by the blazes, which began in
California wine country Sunday. An estimat-
Oakland, which is some 45 miles south of
the fires, has been blanketed by smoke.
College football games in Berkeley and
Stanford are also planned for this weekend,
and officials from both schools are monitor-
ing the situations there as well.
If the NFL decides that conditions in
Oakland are too unhealthy to play Sunday, the
Raiders game could be moved to Levis
Stadium in Santa Clara. San Diego Mayor
Kevin Faulconer has also offered up Qualcomm
Stadium, where the Chargers used to play
before relocating to Los Angeles this year.
Its up to them to make the final decision
to either move us, prepare us to play here, or
what not, Raiders cornerback TJ Carrie
said. But we have to continue to practice
and play as if were going to play here.
Carrie said the Raiders have advised play-

49ers rookie Foster hopes to return this week
By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANTA CLARA Reuben Foster has been
waiting to get back on the field ever since a
sprained ankle derailed his NFL debut after a
promising start.
Foster made a big impact in his first 11
plays for the San Francisco 49ers in their
season opener against Carolina on Sept. 10
with three tackles and one pass defensed
before a sprained ankle halted his rookie
campaign and sent him to the sideline.
Its so hard because you want to be out
there doing something, Foster said
Thursday. The sport you love so bad and
youre just anxious to get out there.
Foster has been back at practice this
week, working on a limited basis at his
inside linebacker spot next to NaVorro
Bowman as the 49ers (0-5) prepare for
Sundays game at Washington, where they
will be looking for their first win of the sea-
son.
Foster said he felt good after his first prac-
tice Wednesday and is hopeful the doctors
will clear him to play this week.
Hopefully, they see a child in me, like,

Keuchel looks to continue success against Yankees
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON Dallas Keuchel is tired of talk-
ing about his success against the New York
Yankees.
It didnt matter on Thursday, though. It was an
unavoidable subject for Houstons ace as he pre-
pares to start against them in Game 1 of the AL
Championship Series on Friday night.
Masahiro Tanaka will pitch for New York,
which is in the championship series for the
first time since 2012.
Ive been asked that question like 10 times
already, a slightly exasperated Keuchel said. I
dont know, I mean, were one of only four
teams left, so at this point a lot of guys have
had success pitching-wise on either the Indians
or the Yankees.
Unlike the pitcher, manager A.J. Hinch didnt
shy away from singing Keuchels praises for
his work against the Yankees. He joked that the
lefty will probably feel better when he takes the
mound and sees players in Yankees uniforms.
But he was quick to point out that Keuchels suc-
cess certainly hasnt been limited to games
against New York.
I know theres a confidence level, Hinch
said. And to be honest with you, when Dallas
is right, hes confident against anybody. I dont
think who the names are or who the jersey is, he
knows he can get anybody out in the league.
But Keuchel has pitched better than most
against the Yankees in recent years, going 4-2
with a 1.41 ERA and 45 strikeouts in six regu-
lar-season starts. His biggest win to date
against them came in the 2015 AL wild-card
game when he and the then-upstart Astros got a
3-0 win in the Bronx. He struck out seven and
scattered three hits over six innings to get the
win in Houstons first trip to the postseason in

Houston starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel, who will start Fridays ALCS opener, is 4-2 with a 1.41

a decade after years of rebuilding and losing.
For that win in the wild-card game, it wasnt 1B in his rotation, so who pitched first wasnt
just special for me and the validation, it was
special for everybody to go into New York and
play that well, he said. But now we look back
on it and its probably one of the most magical
times that Ill have in my career and its some-
thing Ill never forget, for sure.
Keuchel gets the nod in the opener after
pitching behind Justin Verlander in the ALDS.
Verlander, who was acquired on Aug. 31, made
his first career relief appearance to help elimi-
nate the Red Sox in Game 4 on Monday.

that big of a deal to him.
Dallas is really good, so Im not the least bit
hesitant on starting him, Hinch said. When
we made the move to pitch Verlander in Game 4
out of relief we had the backdrop that Dallas was
going to start Game 5. So I have all the confi-
dence in the world.
Keuchel won the AL Cy Young Award in 2015
when he went 20-8 with a 2.48 ERA before
struggling last season, with a 9-12 record and
4.55 ERA. He bounced back this year despite
Friday Oct. 13, 2017 15
neck issues, posting a 14-5 record with a 2.90
ERA to help the Astros run away with the AL
West title.
He built off that in his first start this postsea-
son when he yielded three hits and a run in 5 2/3
innings to help Houston to an 8-2 win over the
Red Sox in Game 2 of the ALDS. That made him
3-0 with a 2.29 ERA in four postseason appear-
ances with three starts.
Dallas Keuchel has been remarkable as an
Astro, hes been remarkable in my three years
here, Hinch said. We hand him the ball and
the entire room knows we have a chance to
win.
Tanaka had an inconsistent September that
included two starts where he gave up seven
earned runs and was capped by one where he
struck out 15 in seven scoreless innings before
he pitched the Yankees to a 1-0 win in Game 3
against the Indians. He allowed just three hits in
seven scoreless innings in his second career
postseason game.
His stuff was great the other day, hes had
some really big starts, his last two starts have
been outstanding, manager Joe Girardi said.
And theres a lot of times that he really gets on
a roll and he puts a bunch of them together and
were going to need a good one from him
These pitchers will face two of the best hit-
ters in the majors in Houstons Jose Altuve and
New York rookie Aaron Judge. The two are
front-runners to MVP after Altuve led the majors
with a .346 average and Judge was first in the AL
with 52 homers.
Altuve has kept up his blistering pace in the
postseason, where hes hitting .533 with three
homers and four RBIs. But Judge has had a
tough time, going just 1 for 20 with 16 strike-
outs in the five-game win over Cleveland.

dance canceled after racist stunt

STURGIS, S.D. ASouth Dakota high school has forfeited its
homecoming football game against a school from a nearby

Sturgis Principal Pete Wilson told the Associated Press that he

A tweet from the Blossom Valley Athletic League indicated

in light of the CCS vote.
There were quite a few of us coaches having text chats
(throughout the week). Just kind of running through what we
thought was best, said Hillsdale coach Mike Parodi Jr. We
ran through a gamut of options (which included an option of
playing Monday).
Monday was a great option if there was a different cir-
cumstance, but with something lingering like smoke, there
was no guarantee Monday was a viable option.
Sell didnt believe the two-game week gained much trac-
tion before it was pretty quickly shot down.
In this day and age, and talking about player safety,
[playing two games in a week] isnt right, Sell said. Its
not worth it to jeopardize the kids with bad air or two games
in five days.
You can play two or three tennis matches, or water polo
games, in a week. But you cant do it for football (at the high
school level).

energy though. Meanwhile, M-A tapped into
its A-game through the middle sets to show it
still has plenty of quality volleyball talent in
its ranks.
The Bears (3-7, 5-13) returned just three
regulars from last years Northern California
Division I championship squad. And, with
that, one has been lost since the outset of the
season when the day before the 2017 opener,
junior middle Marit Hoyem broke a finger
and has been sidelined ever since.
Its definitely been rough, M-A junior
Alicia Letvin said. We lost so many seniors
that were a big part of our team. When were
in it, were in it.
But that isnt always the case. When the
Bears were in it Thursday, they forced the
action by winning Game 2 behind the two-
pronged attack of Letvin and freshman outside
hitter Emma Spindt. They led most of the way
in Game 3 as well before Aragon took its first
lead of the set at 21-20 on a Tuivailala kill.
In Game 4, though, it all fell apart for the
Bears as they committed 12 unforced errors.
Letvin has been a stalwart scorer though, and
showed off the versatility of her left-handed
swing with 15 kills. The 5-10 junior was also
a force on defense, tallying a match-high six
blocks. Spindt the younger sister of leg-
endary M-A attacker Ally Spindt, who graduat-
ed in 2013 totaled a match-high 16 kills.
Aragons defense was up to the challenge
though. Dons libero Kayla Kicks Danao
racked up a match-high 25 digs. But it was
the depth of Aragons defense that won the
day, with inspired six-rotation play from jun-
ior Della Trimble and one spectacular dig
from junior outside hitter Samantha Wen that
turned the tide during the crux of the match
late in Game 3.
I think this whole season in general is
about really strong defense, Wen said. So I
focus on how to dig those balls and keep
those plays going for us.
Wen totaled nine digs throughout, but none
were bigger than at set point with Aragon
clinging to a 24-23 advantage. It was one of
several extended rallies, and M-A seemed to
be gaining momentum when junior Kathryn
Jones and freshman Rachel Park produced
diving digs on consecutive swings to keep
the point alive.
When Spindt tattooed a straight-down
attempt, though, Wen raced it to somehow
get a hand under it. M-A failed to corral
Aragons return and the four-touch fault put
the Dons up 2 sets to 1.
I think the longer it goes on, the more
focused you get, Wen said. The intensity
of the match goes up and you just want the
point more.

Scherzer entered for the fifth. He
started Game 3 of this series,
pushed back because of an injured
right hamstring, and hadnt come

By the time Scherzers one

earned runs and two unearned runs,
on the strength of three hits, one
hit by pitch, one intentional walk,
a catchers interference, and one
very odd play.
What could have been a potential-
ly inning-ending strikeout turned
into a run, as Javier Baez swung and
missed, but the ball went under
catcher Matt Wieters glove and
through his legs. When Wieters col-
lected the ball, he threw it into right
field for an error, then appeared to
argue that the play should have
been ruled over because Baezs fol-

BEAUTIFUL BOTANICAL ART ON
VIEW AT FILOLI IN WOODS IDE
THROUGH OCTOB ER. The historic
Filoli estate in Woodside is set in 16 acres
of formal gardens surrounded by 654-acres
of fields and woodlands. As is fitting, an
essential part of Filolis mission is collect-
ing, interpreting and preserving Botanical
Art, especially botanical illustration.
FILOLI FLORILEGUIM EXHIB I-
TION THROUGH OCT. 2 2 . Begun in
2000, the Filoli Florilegium is an ever-
growing collection that currently has more
than 30 original works. The purpose of the
Florilegium is to document the plant materi-
als of Filoli within a historic perspective,
using traditional methods of botanical
illustration. While the artwork is created by
contemporary artists, the style is classic in
presentation. The Florilegium adds to the
archives of historic information about
Filoli and is a unique addition to the Filoli
Permanent Collection. The collection is on
display through Oct. 22 in the historic
Houses Ballroom.
BOTANTICAL ILLUSTRATION PRO-
GRAM. Filoli hosts a nationally renowned
botanical illustration program where stu-
dents can progress their artistic talents
through challenging, integrated and com-
prehensive courses. The curriculum includes
the systematic study of skills and concepts,
basic botany and botanical art history. A
certificate will be presented upon successful
completion of coursework (180 classroom
hours plus homework) and presentation of a
portfolio and final project. Through Oct.
22, the historic Houses Trophy Room
holds the final works from each of the grad-
uating certificate program students. Each
student is required to present five original
paintings and/or drawings of a particular
theme that successfully portrays the skill of
a good botanical artist. More information
on botanical art and illustration classes is
available online. https://filoli.org/educa-

Inside the laughter of Larry Shues
The Foreigner at Hillbarn Theatre is
an unsettling reminder of the bigotry
thats come to the fore recently.
But it doesnt come until the second
act. Before that, an English Army ser-
geant, Froggy LeSueur (Gary Gerber),
in Georgia to train U.S. troops, visits a
longtime friend, Betty Meeks (Laurie
Strawn), who owns an old hunting
lodge. With him is his friend Charlie
Baker (Damien Seperi).
Charlie is so painfully shy that he
dreads having to converse with others at
the lodge.
Therefore, before returning to his post,
Froggy tells Betty that Charlie is a for-
eigner who speaks no English. The
upshot is that Charlie overhears intimate
conversations between people who
assume he doesnt understand them.
Others at the lodge are the Rev. Dave
Marshall Lee (Matt Waters); Catherine
Simms (Lauren Rhodes), his soon-to-be
wealthy fiance; and Ellard Simms
(Ross Neuenfeldt), her not-too-bright
brother.
Everyone except Dave is fascinated
by Charlie. Ellard takes it upon himself
to teach Charlie English (with a rural
Georgia drawl) in a hilarious scene at
breakfast.
Owen Musser (Robert Fairless), a
loutish redneck property inspector,
threatens to condemn the lodge. Behind
that threat is a plan for Dave and
Catherine to buy it at a reduced price and
convert it to a Christian facility.
Unknown to Catherine, though, Owen
and Dave have a more sinister motive.
That motive becomes clear in the sec-
ond act when Owen and his Ku Klux
Klan buddies arrive. They spew hateful
words about non-white or foreign peo-
ple and espouse the goal of a white
Christian America. Thanks mainly to
Charlie and Ellard, though, the dastards
are repelled.
Along the way, Charlie overcomes his
shyness and decides to stay, becoming a
part of a friendly circle with Betty,
Catherine and Ellard, who also undergo
positive changes.
Because of the Klan angle, several
theater companies have canceled this
work. Hillbarn opted otherwise.
In light of recent events around our
nation, we believe our role as art makers
is to not be silent or complicit,
Hillbarn artistic director Dan Demers
said in his program notes. It is hugely
important that we celebrate not only our
similarities but also our differences.
This production is directed by Brian
Herndon, who carefully balances the
comedy and drama. Hes working with
an excellent group of actors, all of
whom seem perfectly suited to their
roles, leading to a most enjoyable pro-
duction.
Running about two and a half hours
with one intermission, The Foreigner
will continue through Oct. 22 at
Hillbarn Theatre, 1285 E. Hillsdale
Blvd., Foster City. For tickets and
information call (650) 349-6411 or

You wont believe what makes great cheese straws
By Elizabeth Karmel
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The South is credited with creat-
ing the cheese straw but no one
knows who, where or why exactly.
There is one vague story about
leftover cheese being added to bis-
cuit dough to make a snack but I
dont buy it.
Cheese straws are closer to a
crumbly savory shortbread cookie
than they are to flaky biscuits.
These days, the term cheese
straws encompasses a category
of savory crackers in all different
shapes and some even made with
puff pastry.
The recipe that I grew up with
was a simple dough made in a bowl
with a fork. It was rolled into a ball
and mashed down flat with the same
fork in a crisscross pattern like a
peanut butter cookie. The ingredi-
ents were few; best-quality butter,
extra-sharp cheddar, all-purpose
flour and a pinch of cayenne pep-
per. They were served as a nibble
before dinner and wrapped up with a
bow as a gift at the holidays. These
days there are so many commercial
companies making all manner of
cheese straws in every possible fla-
vor combination that cheese
straws have become a category of
cheese crackers.
Last week, I decided to make up a
batch of cheese straws to serve
with cocktails before a dinner
party that I was hosting. The
recipe that I use is a mash up of the
recipe that my mother made with a
secret ingredient that I discovered
in Paris many years ago.
When I was in college, I visited
one of my best friends who was
doing a year abroad and lived with
a family in a tony neighborhood
of Paris. Expecting to meet the
lady of the house, I rang the bell.
Instead, I met Sena, the jovial

family cook who was infatuated
with all things American. Sena ran
the house, did all the marketing
and cooking and looked after my
friend. She invited me in and I
couldnt wait to taste her French
food. Instead, she placed a plate of
the best cheese straws that I had
ever tasted in front of me with
some ice tea. She was beaming. I
was a little disappointed. She was
obviously proud of herself, think-
ing she was very American chic

serving cold tea and cheese straws
to two Southern girls.
I took a bite to be polite. Little
did I know that that bite would
change my cheese straw game for-
ever. Always the inquisitive one, I
had to know why they were better
than all the cheese straws that I
had tasted before. I complimented
Sena, and then asked, what is
your secret?
When she told me, I couldnt
help but laugh out loud. Her secret
was Rice Krispies cereal. When I
pressed her, she admitted that she
picked up her secret many years
before from an exchange student
from Alabama.
I loved that I had to travel all the
way to Paris, to pick up a cheese
straw tip from a girl from
Alabama. And, to this day, I add
Rice Krispies cereal to my cheese
straws. Try it. I guarantee that you
wont be able to stop eating
and/or making them.

CHEDDAR AND
CAYENNE CHEESE
STRAWS WITH A PARIS TWIST
Servings: 20 servings (3 per
serving)
Start to finish: 2 hours, 45 min-
utes (Active: 15 minutes)
2 sticks unsalted butter, soft-
ened
1 pound extra-sharp cheddar
cheese, grated by hand
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper or
more to taste
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
Mix first six ingredients with a
fork or clean hands until all the
ingredients are well distributed. It
will be a stiff dough but it will all
come together eventually. Add
Rice Krispies and mix until evenly
distributed you will need to use
your hands at this stage.
Cover and chill for 2 hours. Roll
into small balls or logs. Place on
ungreased cookie sheet fitted with
parchment paper, and mash down
with a small fork in a crisscross
pattern.
Bake at 325 F for 20-25 minutes
or until golden on the edges.
Chefs Note: The larger you
make them, the longer they will
take to cook. I like them slightly
darker, but if you like them on the
lighter side, bake for less time.
Remove from oven and let sit on
cookie sheet for 5 minutes.
Transfer to a cooling rack, and let
cool completely. Store in an air-
tight container.

This 10-minute tortilla soup is filling comfort food fast
By Melissa dArabian
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
I owe the idea to well-meaning fans, who
over the years would approach me to thank
me for the genius of making 10-minute-
meals. I never had the heart to correct them:
I hosted Ten Dollar Dinners. Ten-minute
meals, I always mused, would be about a
thousand versions of PB&J, which sounded
like hard television to pitch my producer.
But the idea marinated. And then it became a
challenge: what could I make in 10 minutes
that wouldnt be a PB&J (no disrespect to the
sandwich-anthem of my childhood)?
While most of my recipes are weeknight-
friendly thats simply how I cook with
four kiddos to feed before the activity flurry
I decided to create recipes that were extra
quick for those nights when even a half hour
seems impossible to find.
Todays recipe is one of the dinners that
came from this project. Ten-minute tortilla
soup is filling comfort food that I feel good
about serving my family. Its simple but
tasty, and my kids love it.
Ill caveat the 10 minutes by saying that
the dinner does take advantage of some pre-
pared items, such as purchased salsa, canned
black beans and leftover chicken. But these
items are healthy pantry staples that you
HAUNTED
Continued from page 19
In an interview for the AP Travel podcast
Get Outta Here, Dickey said ghost stories
help us talk about things in the past we
might not otherwise have confronted. It
might be a place with a violent or brutal his-
tory like a prison or asylum, or a just an old
building with creaky stairs and dark hall-
ways where someones life took a tragic turn
due to the death of a child or an unrequited
love.
PLACES WITH A DISTURBING PAST
Examples of places with a disturbing past
that bill themselves as haunted attractions
include the LaLaurie Mansion in New
Orleans, where slaves were treated with
extraordinary brutality, or Philadelphias
Eastern State Penitentiary , an abandoned
prison. Dickey describes Eastern State as a
broken-down castle with stone crenellated
towers where its easy to imagine a his- everyone whod ever been killed by a
tory of atrocities and violence.
Ghost stories in many ways are a way for
us to approach our own history, Dickey

probably have on hand, and have a long
shelf-life, including the chicken: freezing up
chicken leftovers or rotisserie chicken for
weeknight dinners is an excellent habit for
weeknight cooks anyway. And, the recipe is
pretty flexible. Skip the cheese and add avo-
cado cubes, if you prefer, or if thats what you
have on hand. Use ground beef instead of
chicken. Or even Thanksgiving turkey left-
said, and our own history is complicated.
WINCHESTER MYSTERY HOUSE:
MYTH OF THE LONELY WOMAN
Dickey also noticed that haunted stories
sometimes revolve around women who
never married or who were widowed young.
Sometimes these women were viewed as
having been frozen in time, living out their
lives in a decaying house. But he says the
facts often tell a different story, suggesting
that these individuals may have been viewed
as odd or even spooky because their lives as
single women didnt fit cultural norms for
marriage and childrearing.
The Winchester Mystery House , a 161-
room mansion in San Jose, California,
which Dickey visited often growing up, is a
good example. Sarah Winchesters father-
in-law developed the Winchester rifle, so
she and her husband were wealthy heirs.
Their only child died in infancy, and Sarahs
husband died soon after. Dickey says stories
often paint her as having lived out her life
in perpetual grief, haunted by the ghosts of
fully stick to the facts, telling visitors only
Winchester rifle, and building this
labyrinth to keep them at bay, Dickey said.
But Dickey says the truth differs from the
overs. Make it spicy or mild. However you
choose, I promise you this: it will be quick.

legend. She got on with her life as a widow,
but all things considered, a relatively happy
widow, he said. The ghost stories came
about, he speculates, because a woman liv-
ing alone happily just doesnt fit in our cul-
ture.
MERCHANTS HOUSE MUSEUM:
USING GHOST STORIES TO ENGAGE
Dickey also points out that the haunted
house industry has become important as a
way to raise money to preserve old build-
ings. Many historic sites have embraced
haunted tours as a fun way to engage visi-
tors who will gladly pay for a ghost tour,
but who might not sign up to learn about
19th century customs or antiques.
Take for example the Merchants House
Museum on East Fourth Street in
Manhattan. The 1830s row house was home
to the family of Seabury Tredwell. Five of
the eight Tredwell children never married.
Seven people died in the house, the last of
them Gertrude Tredwell in the 1930s.
Regular tours of the Merchants House care-
just that were raising money because of
what is known from Census records and
other research about who lived in the house
and when, or what can be gleaned from
THE DAILY JOURNAL
1/2 cup prepared mild (or medium) red salsa
1/4 cup prepared mild (or medium) green
salsa
1 tablespoon lime or lemon juice
1 cup cooked black beans, rinsed and
drained if canned
1 cup shredded or cubed cooked chicken
1/4 cup plain lowfat Greek yogurt
1/4 cup shredded jack cheese
1 tablespoon pepitas (pumpkin seeds), or
other seed or crushed tortilla chip
fresh cilantro for garnish, if desired
Heat the broth and tortillas in a saucepan
over medium high heat to simmer. Simmer
for 1-2 minutes to soften tortilla. Pour the
mixture into a blender, and add the salsas and
lime juice. Very carefully blend the mixture
until smooth, about one minute. (Do not fill
the blender more than halfway with hot liq-
uids and do not cover the blender complete-
ly; use a kitchen towel to help.) Pour the
mixture back into the pan, add the chicken
and beans and reheat for another two minutes
on medium high heat. Pour the soup into
individual bowls, and top with the yogurt,
cheese, pepitas and cilantro, and serve.

physical evidence, like dents left in the
floor by furniture routinely laden with
heavy plates of food.
But the Merchants House also advertises
haunted tours. The theme is especially pop-
ular during the Halloween season. Through
Oct. 30, the site hosts an exhibition called
Truly We Live in a Dying World: A 19th
Century Home in Mourning with displays
of mourning clothes, a coffin covered with
lilies and a mannequin of Seabury Tredwell
laid out on his deathbed. You can even take a
selfie in a coffin.
For decades, Merchants House staff mem-
bers were warned against repeating ghost
stories, according to spokeswoman Emily
Hill-Wright. But in the last 10 or 15 years,
the museum has embraced the opportunity
to use ghost stories as a wonderful way to
bring in new audiences. People will come in
because they hear that were haunted. Once
we get them inside, they realize what a spe-
cial place this is.
She said the museum has no qualms about
using the interest in ghosts and morbid
things in order to educate the public. Its not
ghosts and having fun with that. There is an
educational component. We do feel were
fulfilling our mission.

WEEKEND JOURNAL
HELP
Continued from page 1
We saw a need to provide a local
place for local residents to drop off
donations, Chetcuti said. Friday
morning, Chetcuti and other police
officers will finish stuffing their rent-
ed 26-foot Penske box truck with
donations and take along a few addi-
tional police utility vehicles and head
to a drop-off location in Sonoma
County.
A steady line of cars dotted the
police station on Arroyo Drive, all
with drivers eager to donate non-per-
ishable food, water, drinks and baby
food, as well as sleeping pads, cots,
personal hygiene items, diapers, paper
products, masks, gloves, phone charg-
ers and any clothing or essentials in
good condition. Chetcuti said that the
amount of items donated was incredi-
ble.
Many took the opportunity to
clean out their closets and donate their
clothing, he said.
And while the clothing donations
are helpful, many organizations doing
drives for goods are saying they have
enough clothing at this point, but
there is still a need for food and
hygiene products, as well as money for
buying items in bulk for victims.
The San Mateo City Council plans to
discuss its efforts to help victims in
the North Bay, highlighting in a staff
report Thursday that the most ideal
method of giving is in the form of
money.
Statistically, an item that costs $1
will take $15 worth of time and money
to distribute to those that may need it.
Post-incident and after action reports
in the emergency response community
have demonstrated that cash going to a
nonprofit with a specific mission
allows that agency to leverage bulk
purchasing options, eliminate the
costly and inefficient process of sort-
ing through mixed donations, and give
people what they need right then,
according to the report.

donations Thursday, as its warehouse
was packed. Michelle Diago, founder
of the Facebook group San Carlos
Families Give Back, has been volun-
teering her time since hearing word
from a donor that AMR needed help
sorting its items.
We have sorted and boxed thou-
sands of items, Diago said of her two
days working at the Wildfire Donation
Center. AMR employees were over-
whelmed with the amount of donations
so Diago and about 20 volunteers
worked all day to sort the items so they
could be loaded on the ambulances and
sent to Santa Rosa for distribution.
Diago said she they have too much
clothing but that there is a huge need
for new underwear, bras, socks, pil-
lows, blankets, toiletries and money.
Its hard because people feel like
when they give money its too easy
and they want to put in some effort
but the money is so needed money
is what helps these big organizations
like the Red Cross buy items in bulk
items that they know are needed by the
people in the shelters.
Diago suggests people raise funds
by selling their gently used goods for
money to donate through a garage sale
because many donation centers are
becoming overloaded.
If we had a dime for every article of
clothing we received, wed have a ton
of money, she said.
Private efforts are underway as well.
A quick scroll on social media shows
businesses and residents alike holding
donation drives.

Quintana, owners of Cask Restaurant
and Wine Bar in San Carlos, have fam-
ily who lost their home in the Napa
fires. With a desire to volunteer in the
North Bay on Saturday, de la Quintana
began a donation drive by posting on
social media that she would drive items
to Napa. Little did she know, her
restaurant would be overwhelmed by
generous donors.
I thought my aunt and I would be
driving some items up, but with all
that we received, we will be taking sev-
eral pickup trucks since we have so
much, de la Quintana said.
Dwell Realtors Tatum Clark and
Joyce Romeo typically deliver pump-
kins to their clients doorsteps this
time of year, but given the recent
string of tragedies, they have agreed to
donate to several charities instead.
While starting our annual tradition
of dropping off pumpkins to clients
this year, it dawned on us that we could
be doing so much more to make an
impact, Clarke said. She said they
plan to contribute to the American Red
Cross in hopes of making a difference.
Cynthia Shaw with the American Red
Cross said residents in San Mateo
County can help most by donating
monetarily.
We were able to work fast and set up
15 shelters across five counties
because of the financial donations
prior to this disaster, Shaw said.
She said while she cannot tally the
number of people who have stayed at
the shelter, the Red Cross has been
able to provide pallets of water and
boxes upon boxes of supplies.
We have been able to provide a safe
and comfortable environment for resi-
dents while they wait for evacuation
orders or for information about their
homes, Shaw said. We are set in
terms of supplies, she said, but
money always helps, since they will
be responding to residents for weeks
to come.
To donate to the American Red
Cross, go to redcross. org. Go to
California Volunteers at californiavol-
unteers.org for a comprehensive list of
trusted community partners that work
closely with public agency respon-
ders.

Trump lashes at Puerto Rico as House passes aid package
By Ken Thomas
and Andrew Taylor
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON President Donald Trump
lashed out at hurricane-devastated Puerto
Rico on Thursday, insisting in tweets that
the federal government cant keep sending
help forever and suggesting the U.S. ter-
ritory was to blame for its financial strug-
gles.
His broadsides triggered an outcry from
Democrats in Washington and officials on
the island, which has been reeling since
Hurricane Maria struck three weeks ago,
leaving death and destruction in an unparal-
leled humanitarian crisis.
San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz, with
whom Trump has had a running war of
words, tweeted that the presidents com-
ments were unbecoming to a commander
in chief and seem more to come from a
Hater in Chief.
Mr. President, you seem to want to disre-
gard the moral imperative that your admin-
istration has been unable to fulfill, the
mayor said in a statement.
The debate played out as the House

plenty of work to be done by the military
troops in Puerto Rico. He said there was no
current plan to withdraw troops who are sup-
porting FEMAs recovery efforts.
McKenzie, director of the militarys Joint
Staff, said it will be up to FEMA and other
civilian agencies to decide when the mili-
tary is no longer needed there.
Democrats said Trumps tweets were
deplorable, given that the 3 million-plus
U.S. citizens on Puerto Rico are confronting
the kind of hardships that would draw howls
of outrage if they affected a state. One-third
of the island lacks clean running water and
just 8 percent of its roads are passable,
according to government statistics.
It is shameful that President Trump is
threatening to abandon these Americans
when they most need the federal govern-
ments help, said Maryland Rep. Steny
Hoyer, the second-ranking House
Democrat.
After years of economic challenges,
Puerto Rico was already in the process of
restructuring much of its $74 billion in debt
before the hurricane struck. The financial
situation is more complicated than Trumps
tweets suggest.

Dangerous sound? What Americans heard in Cuba attacks

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON It sounds sort of like a
mass of crickets. A high-pitched whine, but
from what? It seems to undulate, even
writhe. Listen closely: There are multiple,
distinct tones that sound to some like
theyre colliding in a nails-on-the-chalk-
board effect.
The Associated Press has obtained a
recording of what some U. S. Embassy
workers heard in Havana in a series of
unnerving incidents later deemed to be
deliberate attacks. The recording, released
Thursday by the AP, is the first disseminat-
ed publicly of the many taken in Cuba of
mysterious sounds that led investigators
initially to suspect a sonic weapon.
The recordings themselves are not
believed to be dangerous to those who lis-
ten. Sound experts and physicians say they
know of no sound that can cause physical
damage when played for short durations at
normal levels through standard equipment
like a cellphone or computer.
What device produced the original sound
remains unknown. Americans affected in
Havana reported the sounds hit them at
extreme volumes.
Whether theres a direct relationship
between the sound and the physical damage
suffered by the victims is also unclear. The
U.S. says that in general the attacks caused
hearing, cognitive, visual, balance, sleep
and other problems.
The recordings from Havana have been
sent for analysis to the U.S. Navy, which has
advanced capabilities for analyzing acoustic
signals, and to the intelligence services, the
AP has learned. But the recordings have not
significantly advanced U.S. knowledge
about what is harming diplomats.
The Navy did not respond to requests for
comment on the recording. State
Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert
wouldnt comment on the tapes authentici-
ty.
Cuba has denied involvement or knowl-
edge of the attacks. The U.S. hasnt blamed
anyone and says it still doesnt know what
or who is responsible. But the government
has faulted President Raul Castros govern-
ment for failing to protect American per-
sonnel, and Nauert said Thursday that Cuba
may have more information than we are
aware of right now.
