oft-stolen Joey Ramone sign
NEW YORK — Officials say a metal
homage to the late punk legend Joey
Ramone may be New York City’s most-
stolen street sign.
The Department of Transportation
recently had the “Joey Ramone Place”
sign reinstalled in lower Manhattan for
the fourth time since 2003.
This time, it was raised 8 eight feet to
curb temptation. The New York Post
says that puts it about 20 feet above
street level.
The group’s longtime drummer,
Marky Ramone, thinks Joey would
appreciate the most-stolen distinction.
But he adds: “Now you have to be an
NBA player to see it.”
The sign is at the corner of Bowery
and East Second Street.
The department says Broadway, Wall
Street and Love Lane signs also have
attracted sign thieves.

Officials vow to appeal FEMA’s fund rejection
By Chris Cooney
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
State and local officials are appealing a
decision by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency to deny additional funds
to help California and the city of San Bruno
pay for ongoing efforts to repair and recon-
struct a neighborhood struck by a PG&E gas
pipeline explosion.
San Bruno City Manager Connie Jackson
expressed disappointment in FEMA’s deci-
sion, but she aimed to reassure residents of the
Crestmoor Canyon neighborhood who were
most severely impacted by the Sept. 9 explo-
sion and fire that the city’s quest for federal
aid isn’t over.
“We were very disappointed with the denial
by FEMA,” Jackson said from an airport on
her way home from Washington, D.C., where
a hearing on the disaster was held Tuesday
before the U.S. Senate Committee on
Commerce, Science and Transportation.
Suspected pimp has prior conviction
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A man accused of manipulating his mentally
disabled girlfriend into prostitution is a sex
offender convicted two years ago of pimping
out a female coworker at an auto body shop.
The December 2008 conviction sent
Nicholas George Geranios to prison for three
years and left him on parole when he was
arrested for this latest alleged offense.
Geranios, 27, is now charged with pimping,
pandering, causing abuse to a dependent adult,
felony domestic violence and misdemeanor
battery on a cohabitant. Coupled with his prior
convictions, Geranios could return to prison for
eight to 10 years if convicted, said Chief
Deputy District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
Geranios did not enter a plea to the charges

“We are coordinating
with the governor’s office
to move forward with the
appeal,” Jackson said.
Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger has 30
days to prepare the appeal,
Jackson said, which will
include updated costs of an

cleanup, as well as com-
pelling evidence from the victims of the disas-
ter — who lost homes, property and loved
ones — to at least mitigate financial losses
through individual assistance from federal
disaster relief.
So far, FEMA has pledged disaster relief
funds that will reimburse California and the
city of San Bruno — not individual victims —
for 75 percent of the costs of fighting the fire,
repairing damaged equipment and paying for
public agency supplies that aren’t covered by
insurance policies.
The reimbursement will also pay for a por-

“The city of San Bruno, already struggling,

quences of this disaster,” Ruane said.
The mayor said the explosion and fire —
which killed eight people, injured more than
50 others and destroyed 37 homes — has so

“I am very disappointed with the recent

An examination of Geranios’ cell phone
turned up videos in which he speaks of his love
for pimping and a photo of a woman labeled
“LoveDisPimping,” police reported. Police also
reported Geranios rented the Redwood City
motel room for the prostitute and had a box of
20 condoms in his possession when arrested.
On his scheduled trial date, he pleaded no

immediately sentenced to three years prison

City promotes fire prevention week
To commemorate National Fire Prevention
Week, Redwood City is urging the community to
use smoke alarms by reminding residents to
check the batteries on Nov. 7 — daylight savings
— promoting this year’s theme: “Smoke alarms:
A sound you can live with.”
The week is Oct. 3 to Oct. 9.
Many homes in Redwood City may not have
any smoke alarms, not enough smoke alarms,
alarms that are too old or alarms that are not
working, according to city spokesman Malcolm
Smith. The Redwood City Fire Department is
reminding residents working smoke alarms are
needed in every home, on every level (including
the basement), outside each sleeping area and
inside each bedroom. If a smoke alarm is 10 years
old or older it needs replacing. The department
also offers the following tips:
• Test smoke alarms at least once a month using
the test button and make sure everyone in the
home knows their sound;
• If an alarm “chirps” replace the battery right
away;
• Replace all smoke alarms, including alarms
that use 10-year batteries and hard-wired alarms,
when they’re 10 years old (or sooner) if they do
not respond properly when tested;
• Never remove or disable a smoke alarm.

site: www.firepreventionweek.org.

Medina is the second county juvenile that

According to authorities, the 21-year-old

the suspects and four or five others confronted
them by the Friendship Hall at South

Boxer,Fiorina clash in second debate
By Judy Lin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — Democratic
Sen. Barbara Boxer and GOP chal-
lenger Carly Fiorina displayed sharp
differences in their second debate
Wednesday over a wide range of
issues, particularly Republicans’ call
to repeal national health care reforms.
They clashed over other hot-button
topics, including illegal immigration,
the environment and abortion during
an hourlong radio debate was hosted
by KPCC Public Radio in Pasadena
and La Opinion.
Unlike their joint television debate
appearance, this debate was bi-
coastal. While Fiorina was in
Southern California, Boxer spoke
from Washington, D.C.
Fiorina, the former CEO of
Hewlett-Packard Co., said lawmakers
missed an opportunity with health
care reform to bring more competi-
tion to the insurance industry. She has
said she would favor repealing the
law if elected.

Congress punts tough choice until after election

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — A deeply unpopular
Congress is bolting for the campaign trail
without finishing its most basic job — approv-
ing a budget for the government year that
begins on Friday. Lawmakers also are post-
poning a major fight over taxes, two embar-
rassing ethics cases and other political hot
potatoes until angry and frustrated voters ren-
der their verdict in the Nov. 2 elections.
As Congress moved toward a messy end to
a session fraught with partisan fire, President
Barack Obama campaigned for Democrats in
Iowa and Virginia, accusing Republicans of
being dishonest about what needs to be done
to revive the economy and restore middle-
class dreams.
With their House and Senate majorities on
the line, Democratic leaders called off votes
and even debates on all controversial matters.
“It would be one thing if you have a chance
to pass something, then by all means have a
vote,” Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., said
Wednesday. “But it was pretty clear that it was
going to be mutually assured destruction.”
One foot out the door, the House and Senate
convened just long enough to vote on a “con-
tinuing resolution,” a stopgap measure to keep
the government in operating funds for the next
two months and avoid a pre-election federal
shutdown.
8 Thursday • Sept. 30, 2010 OPINION THE DAILY JOURNAL

The difficulty of the death penalty Contact Us

T
he choice given Albert
Greenwood Brown last
week was macabre.
Would the convicted rapist and
murderer prefer to have a single
drug or three-drug cocktail used in
his Thursday night lethal injection?
He didn’t choose — perhaps
futilely waiting for a third, less
deadly alternative — and San
Quentin State Prison officials went
ahead anyway with preparations to
execute the 56-year-old man.
It shouldn’t be surprising Brown
declined to pick. When caught
between two unsavory options,
avoidance can feel like the only
thing to do.
Now it appears that Brown was
correct in not giving the decision
much thought because once again
those charged with carrying out
capital punishment can’t abide by
their choice, either.
Execute him? Don’t execute
him? Ask for a stay? Hurry up
before a judge steps in? Make the
discussion about Brown’s deserv-
ing to die for what he did in 1980
to 15-year-old Susan Jordan? Focus
on the philosophical debate about
capital punishment?
The latest hiccup in the decades-
old struggle to carry out
California’s political whim over
capital punishment surrounds the
drug needed to carry out the execu-
tion. First word came that follow-
ing Brown’s date in the death
chamber, executions would pause
for a few months while the state
‘Perhaps it is time for voters and legislators to
revisit whether they even want to bother with capital
punishment when it is hardly imposed, rarely used and
siphoning precious funds from the state in appeals.’
waited for a fresh supply of the
drug Sodium Pentothal.
Then the problem escalated when
word trickled out that Brown’s exe-
cution date was possibly propelled
by the current drug stash’s pending
expiration date.
This is yet another reason why
past capital punishment options
don’t look too shabby. Bullets and
nooses don’t tend to go bad with
time.
What has soured is the desire of
the courts to follow through with
voters’ decision to keep capital
punishment a possibility in the
state of California. Support for cap-
ital punishment has waned, accord-
ing to many polls, but it remains on
the books. Perhaps it is time for
voters and legislators to revisit
whether they even want to bother
with capital punishment when it is
hardly imposed, rarely used and
siphoning precious funds from the
state in appeals, housing and spruc-
ing up the death chamber. Perhaps
it is time to realize that doctors
refuse to monitor the process, cor-
rectional staff are out of practice in
administering the process and
inmates have a better chance to die
of natural causes on the row than
ever take that final walk. Perhaps
it’s time to leave capital punish-
ment to Texas and Virginia and
states not entangled in judicial tug-
of-wars that appear less about how
executions are done than whether
they should be done at all.
But, instead, the decision over
capital punishment itself is
replaced with less direct arguments
and appeals over the mechanics.
Voters don’t need to make a choice
about capital punishment because
endless roadblocks mean push
rarely comes to shove.
Questions over anesthesia failing
and causing the condemned inmate
unnecessary pain are valid. Lethal
injection doesn’t provide the possi-
bility of a complete fiery failure
like the Florida electric chair fias-
cos but to be fair, everybody will
frankly feel a little better knowing
the method is foolproof. As much
as any of us may believe Death
Row inmates like Brown deserve to
squirm in agony as they exit this
world, the punishment is not called
the torture penalty.
That said, this latest round of cat-
and-mouse games with inmates and
judges — You will die this
Thursday! No, wait, you have 45
hours! No, wait again. Now it’s
indefinite! — appears to be little
more than a passive-aggressive way
to avoid making a definitive deci-
sion on the use of capital punish-
ment. This dance is more cruel and
unusual than any needle in arm.
So in the end, Brown didn’t have
to decide on his deadly drugs of
choice and nobody with any
authority had to make a difficult
decision about whether the death
penalty is the right choice for
California. Everyone involved in
this latest debacle acts as if their
hands are tied but frankly there is
only one person in Brown’s case
that never had a choice at all:

Yes on Proposition 22
Editor,
Ballots for the Nov. 2 election
will begin to be mailed at the end of
this week. Among the nine state
propositions is Proposition 22.
Thank you to the millions of voters
throughout the state who signed the
qualifying petitions. That was the
foundation. The November ballot is
the fortress. Proposition 22 is not an
additional taxation measure. If
Proposition 22 is passed, it will stop
the governor and legislators from
taking or borrowing our local gov-
ernment funds that we use to pro-
vide for essential city services.
Some of these services include
Emergency 911 response, fire,
police, paramedics, street repairs,
public transit, parks, libraries and
services for seniors and youth.
Please help protect our redevelop-
ment, property, gasoline, transporta-
tion and other “at-risk” money and
keep them in our cities where they
are designated for. Please do not
allow the state budget to be bal-
anced on our backs. Enough is
enough. I respectfully request your
vote for Proposition 22.

Reason for the regulation
Editor,
Somebody has got to explain a
few things to me. The Republicans
continually advocate less govern-
ment regulations in our lives and
businesses. When British Petroleum
had the oil spill, everyone was cry-
ing for more regulations. Wall Street
had regulations removed and when
the greed overtook the one per-
centers, Wall Street melted down
and people cried for more regula-
tions. When the Republicans dereg-
ulated the airlines, Pan Am, TWA
and others were put out of business
and thousands lost their jobs and
pensions. When the banks were
deregulated we had the big savings
and loan calamity. When we had the
San Bruno fire tragedy the headline
across the fold of paper was “Where
were the regulators?” Oh yeah,
don’t forget Enron and some of the
other non-regulated companies who
had the consumers “best interests”
at heart.
You listen to all the conservative
radio and cable “news” people and
they tell you how the banks and
large companies are quite capable of
regulating themselves and we do not
need government intervention.
These are the same stooges who
have captured the Republican party
and have them dancing to the
Limbaugh two-step. These show-
men are making huge amounts of
money from their minions who lis-
ten faithfully to their provocative
diatribe and buy their books and
newsletters. These people are not
stupid. Like Wall Street and the
banks, if you had the opportunity to
bring in tens of millions of dollars a
year by doing nothing more than
bashing the same three or four peo-
ple every day and making up the
news to suit your agenda, you
would do it in a Fox News heart-
beat.

‘Shocking’perspective
Editor,
The guest perspective, “The cost
of California’s global warming law”
by Alice Weiss in the Sept. 27 edi-
tion of the Daily Journal was a
shocker. As is commonly known,
the Yes on Prop. 23 side is massive-
ly supported by out-of-state oil
companies and right-wing billion-
aires who want to line their pockets
while killing California’s landmark
greenhouse emissions reduction law
AB 32, the “Global Warming
Solutions Act.”
The Yes-on-23 advocates seem to
be desperate to pull the wool over
our eyes with misleading statistics
and scary talk of job losses. When
that doesn’t work, they resort to
really absurd arguments as lawyer
Alice Weiss did when she said that
global warming is probably
inevitable anyway so, “It would be
more cost effective to simply adapt
to an inexorably changing world.”
In any event, despite its claim to
the contrary, Prop. 23 is a job killer.
If Prop. 23 passes, “Investment,
loans and jobs in clean energy will
shrink dramatically.” (From “Why
Californians Must Crush Pro. 23”
by Ryan Van Lenning).

Governor’s same-sex
marriage veto blasted
The governor’s expected veto of a bill to
legalize same-sex marriage the week of Oct.
1, 2005 was met with disappointment by
local rights activists who fought
hard for its passage.
“We all had some sort of incli-
nation, but I’m a
hopeful person. It
was just so hard to
hear because we were
so happy when the bill passed
the Legislature,” said Marina
Gatto, 17, a nationally recognized activist
who lived with her moms in San Carlos.
Gatto, in fact, delivered thousands of post-
cards the previous Tuesday to the state
Capitol on behalf of the children of same-sex
parents and asked for a meeting with Gov.
Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Teachers sue unions
A group of California educators filed a
statewide class-action lawsuit the week of
Oct. 1, 2005 against the California Teachers
Association and the California Faculty
Association, charging they were forced to
pay increased union dues for the exclusive
use of the unions’ political agenda without
due process.
The two unions “boldly jacked up” union
dues “hand over fist” without obtaining
union members’ consent to oppose Gov.
Arnold Schwarzenegger’s special election
initiatives scheduled for November 2005,
said Stefan Gleason, vice president of the
National Right to Work Legal Defense
Foundation.

endless. It is impossible, particularly in view
of this nation’s tradition of individual free-
doms, to erect an impenetrable shield against
terrorists.
That begs the obvious question, however:
Is President Barack Obama’s administration
doing enough to protect us against the cur-
rent threat — Islamic terrorists? ...
That is not a partisan observation; both
Republican and Democrat presidents have
tended to shove the problem onto the back
burner until it manifests itself through
bloody attacks.
Napolitano and Obama, in consultation
with leaders in Congress, should undertake
an objective analysis of whether U.S. initia-
tives are mounting the best defense — an
offensive against terrorist groups.
On behalf of the plaintiffs, Gleason
requested a temporary restraining order and
a hearing on a preliminary injunction to stop
the unions from raising any more money for
political gain without its members’ consent.
Road rage killers guilty
After two weeks of deliberations over the
fate of two men accused of fatally shooting a
sleeping Pacifica man more than two years
prior, a jury
the week of
Oct. 1, 2005
did what a previous panel could not — find
both guilty of murder.
Both Tito Sedeno, 22, and John Navarro,
23, were convicted of murdering Raymond
Gardner, 22, in the first degree on Jan. 12,
2003. Sedeno was also convicted of using a
gun to cause death and attempted murder.
Jurors hung over two other attempted
murder charges. Navarro was convicted of
all three attempted murder charges and fir-
ing a gun.
On Jan. 12, 2003, Gardner was sleeping
in the passenger seat of a friend’s car as
they and two others in another vehicle
drove home from San Jose. On Interstate
380, they encountered a Chevrolet Tahoe
driven by Sedeno and carrying Navarro and
Richard Sedillo.
Gardner’s driver honked as he tried to
pass the weaving SUV which sparked a
hail of bullets, one which passed through
the passenger headrest into Gardner.

NEW YORK — Stocks slipped in

GRANDVIEW HEIGHTS, Ohio —
Libraries are tweeting, texting and
launching smart-phone apps as they try
to keep up with the biblio-techs — a
computer-savvy class of people who
consider card catalogs as vintage as
typewriters. And they seem to be pulling
it off.
Since libraries started rebranding
themselves for the iPod generation,
thousands of music geeks have down-
loaded free songs from library websites.

Stanford’s Marecic pulls double duty
By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
STANFORD — Owen Marecic has spent
most of his career at Stanford in his preferred
spot in the background as the ultimate support-
ing player.
The player who helped clear the way as a pun-
ishing blocking fullback for Toby Gerhart to
become the Heisman Trophy runner-up a year
ago needed just 13 seconds to vault himself into
the spotlight for Stanford this season.
By running for a 1-yard touchdown and then
returning an interception 20 yards for a score on
the next play from scrimmage in last week’s 37-
14 win at Notre Dame, Marecic achieved a feat
Tigers take a tumble End of
By Emanuel Lee
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The shift of momentum in a volleyball
match can turn in an instant.
On Wednesday, Notre Dame-Belmont
found that out the hard way. Down two-
games-to-none in their West Catholic Athletic
League opener against Sacred Heart
Cathedral, the host Tigers weren’t playing
their best but still had a great chance to extend
the match to a fourth game.
They led 22-15 in Game 3 only to see the
Fightin’ Irish come roaring back to take the
game and complete a three-game sweep, 25-
21, 25-18, 27-25. Coupled with Saturday’s
loss to Burlingame in the gold bracket finals
of the Cupertino tournament, Notre Dame (0-
1 WCAL, 16-5 overall) has lost back-to-back
matches for the first time all season.
“We need to learn from this game and get
better for the next match,” Tigers coach Jeff
Kim said. “This league is so tough, so you
have to move on even after a disappointing
loss like this and just try to improve each day.”
It’s not as if Notre Dame played poorly;
Sacred Heart Cathedral (1-0, 21-5) simply did
everything just a tad better. Whether it was
serve-receive, blocking, digging or winning
the long rallies, the Fightin’ Irish were superi-
or in all phases for most of the match.
The exception came in Game 3, where the
Tigers seemingly had control up 22-15. It
looked like Notre Dame had finally solved the
riddle that was the SHC wall, as its players
consistently delivered powerful swings to get
through the Fightin’ Irish blockers.
After recording no kills in the opening
game, Notre Dame’s Brooke Baldwin heated
up in a hurry. The outside hitter had five kills
in Game 2 and eight more in Game 3, but even
that wasn’t enough to extend the match. SHC
went on a 7-1 run to get to within 23-22.
Despite blowing a big lead, the Tigers were
set up with two game points moments later
when SHC committed a serving error.
However, Fightin’ Irish outside hitter

Marecic is believed to be the only Football

He’s one of the big reasons why the ninth-
ranked Cardinal (4-0, 1-0 Pac-10) have their
highest ranking since 1992 heading into
Saturday’s showdown at No. 4 Oregon (4-0, 1-0).
Marecic scored his first touchdown last week

quarter. On the next play from scrimmage,
Marecic intercepted a pass from Dayne Crist and
returned it for another touchdown just 13 seconds
later.

The last player to have touchdowns on both
sides of the ball in the same game was Utah’s

Typical of Marecic, he praised running back
Stepfan Taylor for getting the Cardinal in posi-

for the pressure that caused the interception on
the second.
“I didn’t really realize it was back-to-back or
anything,” Marecic said. “I was just excited we
could get some points on the board at a pretty
critical time of the game.”

Janikowski puts missed kicks behind him
By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ALAMEDA — A day of extra work and
plenty of time sitting home watching highlights
were enough for Sebastian Janikowski to regain
his sense of humor after missing a potential
game-winning field goal for Oakland against
Arizona.
As reporters walked up to him Wednesday to
ask about what went wrong on his rough day,
Janikowski immediately pointed his finger at
the player sitting next to him in the locker room,
jokingly blaming Shane Lechler for a bad hold.
After spending Monday ironing out the kinks
on the practice field and Tuesday moping
around at home watching highlights,
Janikowski said he is now ready to put to rest
last Sunday’s three missed field goals, including
a 32-yarder on the final play of the Raiders’ 24-
23 loss to the Cardinals.
“I was disappointed, I mean shocked,” he
said. “It happens. I can’t change anything.
Going into warmups, I was 20-for-20, with 63-
yarders both way. And, you go in the game you

Janikowski doesn’t have
much experience moving
on from a game quite like
this, having missed three
Sebastian field goals for just the
fourth time in his 11 years
Janikowski
in the NFL and first since
the 2007 opener.
He said this game was most like one late in
the 2001 season when he also missed three
kicks, including a 41-yarder in the closing sec-
onds of a 13-10 loss at Tennessee.
Despite how hard Janikowski took the miss-
es, his teammates never questioned him, with
coaches and players pointing out all the other
mistakes that would have made the final kick
moot.
“It’s nice to know that I’ve got guys behind
me,” he said. “I got to apologize to everybody
— Al Davis, the players, the fans. So, you
know, come this weekend, kick a winner.”
Janikowski’s bad day started from the open-
ing kickoff, when he was unable to bring down
LaRod Stephens-Howling as he returned the
opening kickoff 102 yards for a touchdown. He
then missed a 41-yarder wide right in the third
quarter with the Raiders leading by three and a
58-yarder wide right in the fourth quarter with
Oakland down 24-23.
The Raiders got in position to win it again on
the final play but Janikowski pushed the 32-
yarder wide left and then held his head in dis-
gust.
Janikowski said he didn’t believe the first two
misses contributed to the third. It was his short-
est miss since late in the 2006 season.
“No, because you look at the 58-yarder and I
still hooked it a little bit,” he said. “So, going to
the winning field goal, I was like, ’Open up
your hips and just think smooth.’ And it just
sailed on me, wide left.”
Janikowski has already missed five field
goals in three games, with another negated by
an offside penalty against Tennessee in the
opener. His three misses from inside 50 yards

ANAHEIM — Torii Hunter’s two-out sin-
gle had barely hit the outfield grass when pink
fireworks shot up from the fake rock pile at
Angel Stadium.
At least the Los Angeles Angels were able
to finish up the home portion of their hugely
disappointing season with a modest celebra-
tion.
Hunter drove home Jeff Mathis in the 11th
inning, and the Angels wrapped up their home
slate with a 2-1 victory over the Oakland
Athletics on Wednesday.
After Los Angeles failed to score with the

are as many as he had the past two seasons com-
bined.
This all comes after the Raiders gave
Janikowski the most lucrative contract ever for
a kicker in the offseason, a $16 million, four-
year deal that included $9 million of guaranteed
money.
“I kicked a lot of balls on Monday,”
Janikowski said. “I mean, I watched film for
like an hour-and-a-half and it just seems like I
didn’t finish my kicks, I didn’t go through it. I
was just kind of like a 3-iron, just punch it and
I stopped it. Yeah, I think, I’m going to be all
right.”
NOTES: The Raiders had a lengthy injury
list with 10 players missing practice and four
being limited. The most notable were DTs
Richard Seymour (hamstring) and John
Henderson (foot), WR Louis Murphy (collar-
bone) and OL Robert Gallery (hamstring). ...
Coach Tom Cable said WR Chaz Schilens is
making good progress from a knee injury that
has sidelined him since training camp. ... The
Raiders signed LB Alex Joseph to the practice
squad.

bases loaded and one out in both the ninth and
10th innings, Mathis and Howie Kendrick sin-
gled in the 11th against Brad Ziegler (3-7).
Hunter then lined his hit to center, finishing a
sweep of the A’s for the dethroned AL West
champions.
Kendrick had three hits for the Angels, who
will miss the postseason for the first time since
2006 and just the third time since their only
World Series title in 2002. Their three-year
reign atop the division officially ended last
weekend when the Texas Rangers clinched the
title in Oakland.

Jacqueline Shim unleashed back-to-back kills
— she finished with 14 on just 19 attempts for
a lethal .737 hitting percentage — to level the
game at 24-24.
Notre Dame then hit the ball long before
Mary Kate Ritzo followed with a kill to tie the
game for the fourth time. But Shim delivered
once again by putting a ball away, and the
Tigers committed a hitting error on the ensu-
ing point to seal their fate.
“We have to do a better job of executing
when given the opportunity,” Kim said.
“There were a lot of free balls that we didn’t
put away or take care of, and you have to take
advantage of every point against a scrappy and

Baldwin had a team-high 13 kills despite
missing the first game, Ritzo finished with
seven kills and Emily Morris had six. Kim
complimented the play of setter Ellen West,
who did a solid job of ball distribution while
adding three service aces.
However, perennial power SHC was simply
too tough. Shim and Kelly Ostello formed a
lethal 1-2 punch; Ostello finished with a
match-high 15 kills. The Fightin’ Irish also
controlled the net, finishing with 10 stuff

And it wasn’t long to decide I needed him
here at the Daily Journal. When he decided
to leave the News in 2004 for moral reasons,
I quickly scooped him up — first as a corre-
spondent and a year-and-a-half later, as a
Daily Journal staff writer. During the inter-
vening time, I harped to my editor-in-chief
that adding Emanuel to the staff would allow
the Daily Journal sports section to blossom.
In 2006, we made the move — Emanuel
was hired as a full-time writer at the Daily
Journal and the sports section took off.
As a reporter and writer, there is none his
equal around here. A multi-time winner of
Peninsula Press Club awards, he set a stan-
dard to which I aspire. His knack for pulling
the most intimate details from interview sub-
jects constantly had me shaking my head in
amazement, wondering what he said and how

defensive player of the year his senior year and
also a second-team all-state running back.
But neither Oregon nor Oregon State even
offered Marecic a scholarship, as most teams
have little use for a blocking fullback in today’s
era of spread football.
Stanford is a school that still uses a fullback as
a big part of its offense. Marecic has been a four-
year starter for the Cardinal, where his punishing
blocks helped Gerhart lead the nation in rushing
a year ago.
But with depth a problem at Stanford, Marecic
stepped in for injured starting linebacker Clinton
Snyder against Oregon a year ago, beginning his
journey as a two-way player. He played mostly
in goal-line and short-yardage situations last
he said it that would make people open their
souls to him. More than once I felt my eyes
well up reading one of his stories.
That’s when Emanuel was at his best. But
he wasn’t too shabby the rest of the time,
either.
Just as important as his writing was the
support he gave me on the desk and covering
for me when I was out. It made it easier to
accept being sick or going on vacation,
knowing the Daily Journal sports section was
in good hands. I didn’t have to worry about
the section getting done because Emanuel
was on the job. No panicked phone calls
from him, no whiny e-mails. He just did the
job for which I will be forever grateful.

He splits time at both sides of practices and
makes up for the lost time by being one of the
biggest film junkies on the team. He says having
a full spring ball and training camp working at
linebacker with a new defensive coordinator has
helped his progress on that side of the ball.
“He’s come a long way,” fellow linebacker
Shayne Skov said. “He immerses himself in his
work so much and he’s so dedicated. Anything
he does, if he’s given the right amount of time,
he’ll excel at it.”
What once was commonplace before platoon
football took over and players became special-
ists is now as foreign as the leather helmets the
old great two-way players used to wear.
There have been a few examples of players
excelling on both sides of the ball since then,
with players like Gordie Lockbaum of Holy
Cross in the 1980s, Heisman Trophy winner
Charles Woodson at Michigan and Champ
Bailey at Georgia in the ’90s, and Ohio State’s

waiting for that final late-night professional
baseball or basketball game to finish, more
often than not it was Emanuel asking me if I
wanted him to finish up the section for me.
I may have never said it before but I’m
saying it now — thanks Emanuel, for all
your help.
And one other thing. When Emanuel first
told me at the beginning of the month he
would be leaving, I told him this and I now
tell the Daily Journal sports community as

Getting and keeping your garden in shape
By Sean Conway
TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES
The cooler temperatures and
shortened days of fall may have sig-
naled some of the plants in my veg-
etable garden to slow down, but
they are sure signs for me to speed
things up. Fortunately, I am more
motivated to work now that the
summer heat has subsided — and
with the amount of work that needs
to be done around here, that’s a
good thing.
Keeping a vegetable garden look-
ing respectable requires regular vig-
ilance. Over the years, I have found
that many of my gardening friends
tend to give up on their gardens
once fall arrives. When their gar-
dens go through the end of summer
explosion of produce, and plants are
growing helter-skelter the way veg-
etables do, they get frustrated, feel
like they have lost control and walk
away until the following spring.
I find that continued maintenance
in the garden — weeding, cultivat-
ing and removing tired old plants —
keeps my garden looking good and
at the same time motivates me to
continue working in it. In many
ways, it is easier to garden in the
cooler temperatures of fall. Weeds
don’t grow as fast, fungal problems
are less of an issue, and pest activi-
ty seems to slow down as fall pro-
gresses.
Although many of the vegetable
plants in my garden are no longer
producing at their August “bonan-
za” levels, the garden certainly has-
n’t stopped dead in its tracks. As I
mentioned last week, cooler tem-
peratures are perfect for growing
lettuce, radishes, broccoli, kale,
arugula and other cool-loving veg-
etables. I start planting cool-loving
crops like these at the end of August
and continue to sowing seeds and
transplanting seedlings well into
September and October.
Even if you don’t have the energy
to keep planting through the fall,
cleaning up your garden as it begins
to decline is a great way to get a
jump on next year’s garden. Start by
removing dead plants or plants that
are clearly no longer producing. Cut
back decaying leaves off of perenni-
al plants such as rhubarb or chives,
and remove dead tops from plants
like onions. Clean and store all plant
supports and be sure to remove any
plastic or nylon plant ties so they
don’t get tilled under next spring.

such as composted manure or gar-
den compost, will improve your

Typography hits the right key in home decor
By Kim Cook
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Numbers and letters are hot off the press
this season in decorative items, dishware and
soft furnishings.
Typographic decor spans a variety of styles,
from vintage — in the form of letterpress or
old correspondence imagery — to clean-lined
modern graphics, often using bold text or
individual symbols.
Before designing dinnerware, Christopher
Jagmin was a graphic designer. “I love and
appreciate the art of typography,” he says.
“We’re all surrounded by it every day. We
type on computers, we’re aware of it on
advertising, billboards, magazines and on tel-
evision.”
His numbered plates are creating a lot of
buzz — there’s something really artsy about
these symbols on a crisp white ceramic plate.
Jagmin agrees: “I think that breaking down
words to the simplicity of a letter or a number,
we see the true beauty and art of a font, and its
basic elements.”
San Francisco designer Rae Dunn stamps
clay cups and plaques with the sparest of
phrases; the result is both charming and
evocative. “Tres Bien” and “Oui,” say sweet
little cups. “C’est la vie,” shrugs a plate. And
the homespun phrase “Home Sweet Home”

Green lawn’s a challenge for a do-it-yourselfer
By Laura Jofre
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
In the beginning, I said of our
lawn: “as long as it’s green.”
That approach, it turns out, is like
saying of your children, “as long as
they’re kids,” then sitting back and
hoping for the best.
My lawn is now a wreck of weeds
and brown patches, littered with
nutshells from the squirrels, who
can tell this is the sort of lawn where
anything goes.
Who knew a simple, postage-
stamp-size lawn would be so prob-
lematic? I had been keen to putter in
my first lawn, thinking that garden-
ing was relaxing, assuming that
grass would just grow. My husband
bought a small push mower and a
bag of rye seed. Soon we had a
sparse and bashful lawn.
Little did I know what was in
store.
The trend in so many home proj-
ects these days — from growing
vegetables to hanging out the laun-
dry — is toward doing it yourself,
going green, simplifying. But any-
one who wants to take that approach
to lawn care had better be ready for
research and hard work.
The lawn turns out to be a hum-
bling, non-relaxing, never-ending
project served by a conflicting mess
of information, intentions, guilt and
crazy internal accounting. It’s not so
easy to decide.
Do you do it yourself,
or go with a pro?
That first summer, it became clear
that most of our neighbors
employed professionals, who
careened around on noisy, air clog-
ging, gas-guzzling power mowers
and planted ominous yellow flags
warning of herbicide use. Surely, I
reasoned, lawn maintenance was
not so difficult or important that we

Do you keep up with the
neighbors, or keep it real?
If I stand on my neighbor’s beau-

But the only real shame is in hold-

My sister, Rebecca Lucas, a horti-

had this simple advice: “The main
thing is to grow good grass. Call
your county extension service and
find out what grows in your area.”
The right grass for local condi-

“Why would time make a difference?”
Thomas, 44, did not take the stand
during the guilt phase of trial but is
now personally trying to convince the
same jury that convicted him of 43
felonies that he was insane and didn’t
know what he did was wrong. At stake
is whether Thomas will be hospitalized
for a minimum of six months before
possibly release or sentenced to prison
for life.
Unlike a guilt trial, the defense has
the burden of proof.
On Tuesday, Tarquin began telling
jurors about his childhood and young
adult years in England. Yesterday, a
sweater-clad Tarquin said he heard
about sex indirectly from other kids but
felt he “had missed out on something as
far as education went.” He had few sex-
ual influences, he said, but did watch,
with another boy, the movie “For a lost
soldier” which is about a sexual rela-
tionship between a soldier and 12-year-
old boy during World War II.
After coming to the United States to
work at Barclays Investment Firm,
Thomas said he began a mentoring
relationship with teenager Freddie,
later the same with teenager Blake and
eventually sought to adopt a boy. That
boy, 9-year-old Dylan, was brought
from Oregon in 2005 and remained
with Thomas until authorities removed
him the following November after a
spanking report to Child Protective
Services. Thomas sent a picture frame
to Dylan containing a GPS device and
prosecutor Aaron Fitzgerald argued in
trial he planned to kidnap the boy.
Jurors deadlocked on the attempted
kidnapping charge.
However, discovery of the GPS

hood that was ravaged by a natural gas
line explosion that sparked a large fire
and caused a massive evacuation. Eight
people were killed, many more injured,
houses were destroyed and even more
damaged. The Ashleys were lucky. Their
home was not ruined. It has been green
tagged but lies within the closed off area
so they’ve been living in a hotel this
month. Basically everything they own
needs to be trashed due to smoke expo-
sure, but that doesn’t matter because
they’re all safe, and together.
On Thursday, Sept. 9, there was fear
before that clarity kicked in.
Kevin, alone with the kids, put on
Kalen’s shoes. Jaden put on his own as
well as a long-sleeved shirt. Kevin
grabbed his keys and wallet but on his
way out bumped Kalen’s head, it was a
big gash. The fire was so close, Kevin
and the kids ran rather than take the car.
He dropped the kids’ favorite jackets
along the way, a memory of which Jaden
reminded him.
“We’ll get new ones,” Michelle reas-
sured him as they recounted the story.
Outside was hot. Kevin recalled
instant heat when opening the door.
“Jaden, tell her how hot it was,” Kevin
said.
“Hotter than Arizona, the desert,” he
said with a curiously cute smile.
Kevin and his kids ran. The children
followed his every direction without
complaint. Despite Kalen’s injury, she
was calm.
“We ran until I saw daylight,” Kevin
said.
TUNNEL

the mountain so Shamrock Ranch can

device by a social worker led to
Thomas’ arrest and eventual child
molestation charges involving the three
boys. A large basis of the charges came
from video and photographs Thomas
had of Dylan and Freddie performing
and receiving sexual acts and by them-
selves nude.
Fitzgerald asked why he documented
the sex acts.
“I photograph everything,” Thomas
said.
Each time, he said, was likely to be a
different act because he “liked to try new
things”
According to Thomas, each of the
boys brought up talking about sex or
having sex. He described Dylan, who
may have been previously molested, as
“sexually hyperactive” and said Freddie
had watched his mother’s sexual activi-
ty from the bottom bunk bed in their
small room in the Tenderloin neighbor-
hood of San Francisco.
When discussing Dylan, Fitzgerald
asked Thomas if the boy was the “insti-
gator in all of these particular sex acts.
“Yeah,” Thomas said.
“You went along with it?” Fitzgerald
asked.
A woman, whom the Ashleys didn’t
know and have not been able to identify
since, stopped and picked up Kevin and
the children. Jaden compared this ride to
being in Mexico, where car seats weren’t
necessary.
The woman was looking for her
boyfriend, who finally called. Despite
this search, she stopped for the trio and
advised Kevin to tell Michele where to
meet him, the Shops at Tanforan, when
the situation was too overwhelming to
explain in a few words over a cell phone
conversation.
When they were all safe and at a fam-
ily member’s house, Kevin, who is nor-
mally calm and positive, was overtaken
by the feeling that their home, car and
possessions were all gone. He was given
influential words from their host: picture
the house protected by water. He hadn’t
seen the house taken by flames and she
argued he should not assume anything
until they knew more.
She was right.
There house is still standing. But it
isn’t the same.
Upon returning to check the house, the
Ashleys were watched. Their quiet
neighborhood was full of media, work-
ers and a large black hole. The residents,
the Ashleys, were the main attraction for
onlookers.
These downsides were not the entire
story. There was kindness as well.
“That’s what got me, as the days went
on, was the kindness. Kindness from
people you know, people you don’t
know,” said Kevin.
Smoke had infiltrated the house. Most
things needed to be thrown out. With a
little one who puts things in her mouth,
you have to be safe, Michele explained.
Getting rid of things meant reliving
that the current Devil’s Slide sits atop.
When the tunnels open, the current
Devil’s Slide will be converted to coastal
trails.
“It will be the most magnificent
coastal trail in the state,” said
Gordon. “When this is done there

“Right,” said Thomas.
In only one instance during a sex act
did Freddie appear not to be complete-
ly happy, Thomas said.
Not every photograph had sexual
intent, according to Thomas who cited
the first bath with Dylan as being at his
request and nothing more than that.
The testimony reflected defense attor-
ney Richard Keyes’ argument that not
every touch or every image was lewd
and lascivious.
Thomas said his arrest and jailing
was “a very radical shock” and a “a
pretty big wake-up call” that sex with
the boys wasn’t exactly what he
thought. He asked Freddie to destroy a
hard drive with a torch but told
Fitzgerald he thought it was legal to
destroy potential evidence if it hadn’t
been seized in a search.
Freddie’s mother, one of Thomas’
early supporters, discovered a flash
drive hidden in a box of laundry deter-
gent which contained images of the
molestation. Thomas said he wasn’t
hiding what he knew to be proof of
wrongdoing. Instead, he said they were
hidden because although Dylan had
asked for the photos to be taken he did-
n’t want anyone else to see them.
Thomas said he didn’t think he was
committing a crime but had never dis-
cussed the acts or child sexuality with
coworkers or neighbors. Fitzgerald
asked if Thomas knew he had to follow
other laws, like using a passport to
travel and paying taxes. Yes, Thomas
said, because his parents had passports
and a roommate once told him he had
to fill out tax paperwork.
Tarquin remains in custody on no-
bail status.

memories for Kevin. Throwing things
out also meant needing new things.
Scouring through the outpouring of
donations was humbling, Michele said.
Around their South San Francisco hotel
room are scattered toys, all donations.
Despite the safety of the house, there
are some things that can’t be the same.
Jaden inquired about heading to the
local playground, but it’s been mangled
by the blast. Kevin recalled driving
down the hills which were like a roller
coaster for the kids who would put their
arms up while in the car. Kevin hears
noises outside now when he’s at home
and jumps when a motorcycle starts up
or a dumpster is loudly put back on the
ground.
Those alterations don’t change the fact
that the family is ready to return to their
life, their beds, their kitchen — well
maybe not Jaden, who loves hotels.
Even when they return to San Bruno, the
family won’t stay. Too much has
changed.
Regardless of where the Ashleys end
up, some things will remain the same.
Jaden is rebuilding his business card
collection with plans to create an even
better art project. Kalen’s favorite car-
toons will sometimes need a “nap” when
an important football game is on televi-
sion. And the family will remain a fami-
ly.
“We’ll start over,” said Michele, who
added this is just one more thing they’ll
get through together.
“It’s all about how you move for-

ARIES (March 21-April 19) - No matter how frustrated or
angry you might be, don’t air your grievances with your mate
in the presence of outsiders. It will give a bad impression of
your relationship.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - Don’t be hasty about agreeing
to something that you haven’t taken any time to analyze. If

if you aren’t you could end up spending wildly without any
regard for what kind of problems your recklessness could

CANCER (June 21-July 22) - Your prized independence
could be restricted due to scads of demands being placed on
you by others. If you make a big deal of it, however, it will
only make matters worse.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - If you can be realistic about events,

Europe terror plot heightens security Around the world

By Paisley Dodds
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — Police increased their
guard around Buckingham Palace and
other landmarks Wednesday as security
officials monitored what they described
as a fledgling terror plot to wage
Mumbai-style shooting sprees or other
attacks on Britain, France or Germany.
At least some of the recent CIA strikes
in Pakistan were aimed at al-Qaida oper-
atives suspected in the plot, U.S. offi-
cials said. European officials said the
plot was still in its early stages and not
considered serious enough to raise the
terror threat level.
Still, the Eiffel Tower in Paris was
briefly evacuated Tuesday — the second
time in two weeks because of an unspec-
ified threat — and French police were on
alert.
A heavy police presence was seen
Wednesday around Buckingham Palace,
Trafalgar Square and Big Ben. Victoria
Station was briefly evacuated after an
unusual smell was reported.
“This plot was in its embryonic
stages,” a British government official
told the Associated Press, speaking on
condition of anonymity because of the
sensitivity of his work. He said the plot
had preoccupied the security community
more than other recent threats, but did
not merit changing the security threat
level from severe to critical.
Some details about the plot came from
Ahmed Siddiqui, a German citizen of
Afghan background who was captured
in Afghanistan in July, a U.S. official
said.
Intelligence authorities used National
Security Agency wiretaps to flesh out
details, U.S. officials said, and while a
Mumbai-style shooting spree was one
possibility, there was no concrete plan.
The officials spoke on condition of
anonymity because they were not

weeks following a bomb alert in Paris.
authorized to speak about the plot.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham
Clinton told reporters Wednesday the
U.S. was working closely with its
European allies, but declined to provide
specifics.
“We are not going to comment on spe-
cific intelligence as doing so threatens to
undermine intelligence operations that
are critical in protecting the United
States and our allies,” Clinton said. “As
we have repeatedly said, we know that
al-Qaida and its network of terrorists
wishes to attack both European and U.S.
targets.”

“I want Americans to know how
focused we all are in the government and
how committed we are not only in pro-
tecting our own country but in protecting
our friends and allies.”
The Department of Homeland
Security would not say Wednesday
whether U.S. security has been
enhanced as a result of the terror threats
in Europe.
Revelations of the plot came just
ahead of the anniversary on Thursday of
the publication of the Prophet
Muhammad cartoons in a Danish news-
paper.
Anti-austerity protests sweep across Europe
BRUSSELS — Tens of thousands of workers marched
Wednesday through the streets of Europe, decrying the loss of
jobs and benefits they fear will come with stinging austerity
measures seeking to contain government debt.
Police fired shots in the air to disperse protesters at a gen-
eral strike in Spain. Greek bus and trolley drivers walked off
the job, joined by doctors who staged a 24-hour strike at state
hospitals. Unions claimed a crowd of 100,000 marched on
European Union headquarters in Brussels.
From Ireland to Greece, workers united around the theme
that they are victims of a debt crisis caused by reckless high-
spending bankers undermining Europe’s cherished welfare
state. They complained of higher taxes, job cuts, soaring
unemployment and smaller pensions.
“We are protesting mainly for our children, because they’re
not here — they are out looking for jobs,” said Emilio
Martella, a 62-year-old retiree demonstrating with 2,000 oth-
ers in Rome.
WTO says U.S. ban on Chinese poultry is illegal
GENEVA — The Obama administration received its first
rebuke from the World Trade Organization on Wednesday as
a three-member panel declared that an American ban on
Chinese poultry is illegal.
The ruling came as the U.S. House of Representatives pre-
pared a vote condemning Chinese currency manipulation and
threatening possible trade penalties. But its negative outcome
for Washington could bolster Beijing’s claims that U.S. law-
makers are bending to protectionist pressure amid high unem-
ployment.
The WTO said the U.S. was violating a number of its trade
obligations by preventing Chinese chicken parts from enter-
ing the U.S. market, ruling against a measure in last year’s
U.S. federal spending bill.
Search resumes for 11 missing in Mexico mudslide
OAXACA, Mexico — Rescue efforts resumed Wednesday
for 11 people missing after a hillside collapsed on a town in
Mexico’s rain-soaked southern state of Oaxaca.
The government delivered blankets and other supplies to
survivors and other who fled their unstable homes for fear of
more mudslides in Santa Maria de Tlahuitoltepec. Many shel-
tered under makeshift tents on the hills.
The landslide early Tuesday caused nationwide alarm after
local authorities initially said hundreds could be dead in the
remote town, which had been blocked off by slides and a
washed-out bridge.
