Vance and Walz keep it civil in a policy-heavy discussion: VP debate takeaways

By BILL BARROW, ZEKE MILLER and NICHOLAS RICCARDI

WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice presidential hopefuls Tim Walz and JD Vance focused their criticism on the top of the ticket on Tuesday as they engaged in a policy-heavy discussion that may be the last debate of the 2024 presidential campaign.

It was the first encounter between Minnesota’s Democratic governor and Ohio’s Republican senator, following last month’s debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. It comes just five weeks before Election Day and as millions of voters are now able to cast early ballots.

Tuesday’s confrontation played out as the stakes of the contest rose again after Iran fired missiles into Israel, while a devastating hurricane and potentially debilitating port strike roiled the country at home. Over and again, Walz and Vance outlined the policy and character differences between their running-mates, while trying to introduce themselves to the country.

Here are some takeaways from Tuesday’s debate.

With Mideast in turmoil, Walz promises ‘steady leadership” and Vance offers ’peace through strength’

Iran’s ballistic missile attack on Israel on Tuesday elicited a contrast between the Democratic and Republican tickets on foreign policy: Walz promised “steady leadership” under Harris while Vance pledged a return to “peace through strength” if Trump is returned to the White House.

The differing visions of what American leadership should look like overshadowed the sharp policy differences between the two tickets.

The Iranian threat to the region and U.S. interests around the world opened the debate, with Walz pivoting the topic to criticism of Trump.

“What’s fundamental here is that steady leadership is going to matter,” Walz said, then referenced the “nearly 80-year-old Donald Trump talking about crowd sizes” and responding to global crises by tweet.

Vance, for his part, promised a return to “effective deterrence” under Trump against Iran, brushing back on Walz’s criticism of Trump by attacking Harris and her role in the Biden administration.

“Who has been the vice president for the last three and a half years and the answer is your running mate, not mine,” he said. He pointedly noted that the Hamas attacks on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, happened “during the administration of Kamala Harris.”

Vance and Walz punch up rather than at each other

Vance and Walz trained the bulk of their attacks not on their on-stage rivals, but on the running mates who weren’t in the room.

Both vice presidential nominees sought to convey a genial men as they lobbed criticism at Harris and Trump, respectively.

It was a reflection of the fact that most voters don’t cast a ballot based on the vice president, and on a vice presidential nominee’s historic role in serving as the attack dog for their running mates.

Walz pointedly attacked Trump for failing to meet his pledge of building a physical barrier across the entire U.S.-Mexico border at the country’s southern neighbor’s expense.

“Less than 2% of that wall got built and Mexico didn’t pay a dime,” Walz said.

Underscoring the focus on the top of the ticket, during a back-and-forth about immigration, Vance said to his opponent: “I think that you want to solve this problem, but I don’t think that Kamala Harris does.”

It was a wonky policy debate, with talk of risk pools, housing regulations and energy policy

In an age of world-class disses optimized for social media, Tuesday’s debate was a detour into substance. Both candidates took a low-key approach and both enthusiastically delved into the minutiae.

Walz dug into the drafting of the Affordable Care Act when he was in the House in 2009, and pushed Vance on the senator’s claim that Trump, who tried to eliminate the law, actually helped preserve it. Vance, defending his claim that illegal immigration pushes up housing prices, cited a Federal Reserve study to back himself up. Walz talked about how Minneapolis tinkered with local regulations to boost the housing supply. Both men talked about the overlap between energy policy, trade and climate change.

It was a very different style than often seen in presidential debates over the past several election cycles.

Vance stays on the defensive on abortion

Walz pounced on Vance repeatedly over abortion access and reproductive rights as the Ohio senator tried to argue that a state-by-state matrix of abortion laws is the ideal approach for the United States. Walz countered that a “basic right” for a woman should not be determined “by geography.”

“This is a very simple proposition: These are women’s decisions,” Walz said. “We trust women. We trust doctors.”

Walz sought to personalize the issue by referencing the death of Amber Thurman, who waited more than 20 hours at the hospital for a routine medical procedure known as a D&C to clear out remaining tissue after taking abortion pills. She developed sepsis and died.

Rather than sidestep the reference, Vance at one point agreed with Walz that “Amber Thurman should still be alive.”

Vance steered the conversation to the GOP ticket’s proposals he said would help women and children economically, thus avoiding the need for terminating pregnancies. But Walz retorted that such policies — tax credits, expanded childcare aid, a more even economy — can be pursued while still allowing women to make their own decisions about abortion.

Both candidates put a domestic spin on climate change

In the wake of the devastation of Hurricane Helene, Vance took a question about climate change and gave an answer about jobs and manufacturing, taking a detour around Trump’s past claims that global warming is a “hoax.”

Vance contended that the best way to fight climate change was to move more manufacturing to the United States, because the country has the world’s cleanest energy economy. It was a distinctly domestic spin on a global crisis, especially after Trump pulled the U.S. out of the international Paris climate accords during his administration.

Walz also kept the climate change focus domestic, touting the Biden administration’s renewable energy investments as well as record levels of oil and natural gas production. “You can see us becoming an energy superpower in the future,” Walz said.

It was a decidedly optimistic take on a pervasive and grim global problem.

Walz, Vance each blame opposing presidential candidate for immigration stalemate

The two running mates agreed that the number of migrants in the U.S. illegally is a problem. But each laid the blame on the opposing presidential nominee.

Vance echoed Trump by repeatedly calling Harris the “border czar” and suggested that she, as vice president, single-handedly rolled back the immigration restrictions Trump had imposed as president. The result, in Vance’s telling, is an unchecked flow of fentanyl, strain on state and local resources and increased housing prices around the country.

Harris was never asked to be the “border czar” and she was never specifically given the responsibility for security on the border. She was tasked by Biden in March 2021 with tackling the “root causes” of migration from the Central American countries of Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador and pushing leaders there and in Mexico to enforce immigration laws. Harris was not empowered to set U.S. immigration policy — only the president can sign executive orders and Harris was not empowered as Biden’s proxy in negotiations with Congress on immigration law.

Walz advanced Democrats’ arguments that Trump single-handedly killed a bipartisan Senate deal to tighten border security and boost the processing system for immigrants and asylum seekers. Republicans backed off the deal, Walz noted, only after Trump said it wasn’t good enough.

Both candidates leaned on tried-and-true debate tactics — including not answering tough questions

Asked directly whether Trump’s promise to deport millions of illegal immigrants would remove parents of U.S.-born children, Vance never answered the question. Instead, the senator tried to put his best spin on Trump’s plan to use the military to help with deportations and pivot to attacking Harris for a porous border. Asked to respond to Trump’s having called climate change a “hoax,” Vance also avoided a response.

The debate kicked off with Walz being asked if he’d support a preemptive strike by Israel against Iran. Walz praised Harris’ foreign policy leadership but never answered that question, either.

And at the end of the debate, Vance would not answer Walz’s direct question of whether Trump indeed lost the 2020 election.

Walz has stumbles and lands punches in uneven night

Walz had several verbal stumbles on a night in which he admitted to “misspeaking” often. In the debate’s opening moments, he confused Iran and Israel when discussing the Middle East.

At one point he said he had “become friends with school shooters,” and he stumbled through an explanation of inaccurate remarks about whether he was in Hong Kong during the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre. ( He was not.)

But the governor noticeably put Vance on the defensive over abortion and, near the end of the debate, with a pointed question about whether Trump won the 2020 election.

Vance stays on a limb on Jan. 6 insurrection

The candidates went out of their way to be polite to each other until the very end, when Vance refused to back down from his statements that he wouldn’t have certified Trump’s 2020 election loss.

Vance tried to turn the issue to claims that the “much bigger threat to democracy” was Democrats trying to censor people on social media. But Walz wouldn’t let go.

“This one is troubling to me,” said Walz, noting that he’d just been praising some of Vance’s answers. He rattled off the ways Trump tried to overturn his 2020 loss and noted that the candidate still insists he won that contest. Then Walz asked Vance if Trump actually lost the election.

Vance responded by asking if Harris censored people.

“That is a damning non-answer,” said Walz, noting that Trump’s former vice president, Mike Pence, wasn’t on the debate stage because he stood up to Trump on Jan. 6, 2021, and presided over Congress’ certification of the former president’s loss.

“America,” Walz concluded, “I think you’ve got a really clear choice on this election of who’s going to honor that democracy and who’s going to honor Donald Trump.”

Kurtenbach: Buster Posey and the SF Giants are winging it

SAN FRANCISCO — The so-called king of preparation didn’t seem to have anything prepared for his opening remarks.

Buster Posey rattled off some platitudes and truisms before a riff where he remembered some guys. When he ran out of old, legendary Giants to name-drop, he started naming his contemporaries in the game.

There was no talk of philosophy, direction, or structure in Posey’s introductory press conference as the Giants’ director of baseball operations. These are just nice words with little meaning.

Analytics? Posey likes them.

Traditional scouting? He’s for it.

Manager Bob Melvin, who is entering a lame-duck season? Posey’s excited to work with him.

And as for the team’s general manager, the person who sounds like they’ll have the totality of the responsibilities of a director of baseball operations without the title or, I presume, the pay? Well, Posey will just have to find the right guy or gal.

You don’t say?

Posey spent his entire career saying plenty of words but never giving the media or fan base much of anything. Perhaps Tuesday was just an extension of that.

But that was as a player.

Now, he’s the boss. The game has changed. And as the head honcho, Posey must be taken at his word.

And in so many words, he made it clear that there’s no real plan in place in San Francisco. Posey is winging it. The organization is winging it.

This is a $4 billion company, and the most essential aspect of the business is operating on a “we’ll take it as it comes” motto.

If it were anyone other than Posey up there on the dais on Tuesday, Giants fans would be apoplectic.

But because it’s Posey, apparently, this is all fine.

No one has more slack with the fan base (and apparently ownership) than No. 28, and he’s cashing it in right now. Again, you have to respect the confidence of the franchise legend.

And amid the empty rhetoric, Posey made one thing clear: He’s just happy to be part of a team again.

It was such a strange thing to repeat.

Despite there being countless jobs in the organization — including the possibility of jobs he, a part-owner, could create — apparently, the only way Posey could re-create that feeling of brotherhood is to take over the single most crucial job, the duties and responsibilities of which, he admits, he doesn’t yet know.

“Buster is just somebody that asked for the ball,” Giants chairman Greg Johnson said.

Johnson gave it to him without a second thought.

What the Giants are doing is unprecedented in modern baseball.

This isn’t like when Brodie Van Wagenen, a longtime player representative and head of the largest agency’s baseball division, took over the Mets front office.

(He was fired within two years.)

This isn’t like when former MLB pitcher Chris Young took over in Texas, either. Young worked for two years as Jon Daniels’ right-hand man before being promoted to the top job. Craig Breslow, now the Red Sox top decision maker, did four years in the Cubs’ front office before taking over in Boston.

And this sure as hell isn’t John Lynch with the 49ers. Football and baseball are apples and oranges when it comes to the responsibilities of the head honcho, if, for nothing more than the sheer number of players in baseball — more than 5,000 in the offseason, on top of international, college, and high-school prospects.

NFL front offices are littered with former players. MLB front offices are run by Ivy League grads who opted against running a hedge fund to make fantasy baseball real life.

To do something this bold — to think this far outside the box — is, frankly, beneath the Giants’ organization.

Why think outside the box? The box is full of money. Use it to attract a top mind to fix this mess.

But the Giants didn’t interview anyone else for the gig. Posey said he wanted it, and he was given it without any sort of serious apprenticeship.

They didn’t bring in Mike Chernoff of the Guardians or Erik Neander of the Rays for a chat. They didn’t bother to see if former Marlins GM Kim Ng was interested, or if Braves player development guru Ben Sestanovich wanted the job.

What made Buster qualified to lead an entire baseball operations staff? According to Johnson, it’s his “skills,” “intellect,” and “drive.” But also, he’s a great listener, and leader, and he has a lot of pride.

“He’s going to set a tone.”

The Giants have missed the playoffs in five of the last six seasons. I don’t think “tone” is the issue here.

All those traits might make Posey beloved by fans and a favorite of the media, but they are hardly unique qualities. Yes, the game, like all professions, has its fair share of bad communicators and idiots (the former issue did Farhan Zaidi in). Still, there are capable, impressive people all around this sport, and many of them have a track record of success building up farm systems, player development plans, and optimizing 40-man rosters.

Posey has to fix all three of those things and do it with what appears to be Zaidi’s staff.

To me, this all reeks of cronyism.

Worse yet, Posey won’t just do ownership’s bidding. He is ownership.

And when did Giants fans — who have been bellyaching about how this team has been run for years — change their tune on the owners?

But Posey sounded like he wanted to be a figurehead on Tuesday, not the man pushing all the buttons.

It’s his finger on those buttons until he finds someone else to do that job, though.

You can hardly blame Posey, the ultra-competitor, for “wanting the ball” in a moment like this. Someone needs to pull this team out of its now-perennial morass, and Posey’s smarts, legacy, competitive fire, and fiscal entanglement make him an outstanding candidate to be part of the solution.

But his fellow Giants owners made Posey the singular solution.

They might be able to formulate a plan in the coming days, weeks, and months, but the Giants fired Zaidi and his general manager, put Posey in charge, and haven’t really gotten to anything after that.

On Zaidi’s way out of town, he dropped a couple of nuggets of truth on his tenure.

This isn’t to exonerate him from the mess the Giants now face — it’s only to say he wasn’t the sole proprietor of the team’s fate.

One quote stood out above the rest.

“But I think it’s my responsibility, and as an organization, we have to figure out our identity and not feel like just because the strategy is successful, it’s the right thing for us,” said Zaidi.

It makes you wonder: Is Posey’s appointment about winning, or is it about restoring the mystique of the Giants?

Is this just to quell the constant KNBR clamoring to return to the way things were a decade ago, when the ball was dead, Statcast didn’t exist, and “real” baseball men ran the show?

In short: an era that is long gone and never coming back?

Sure seems like it.

Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe running a professional baseball team in a big market is much easier than I believe it to be. Maybe it’s just that easy for someone like Posey. How could we mere mortals understand?

Perhaps things like culture and magic are actually real and not simply lazy catch-alls folks use to try to explain situations that don’t quite add up logically.

But it’s one thing for the fan base to be tapping into the spirit of an even-year magic run (as we head into an odd-numbered year). It’s something else for ownership to do it, too.

“We’re in the memory-making business,” Posey said. “The entertainment business.”

No, Buster, that’s the Savannah Bananas.

The Giants are in the business of winning. That’s how you entertain. That’s how you create memories.

How’s he going to do that?

I guess it’s just a mystery.

Woman rescued by helicopter after being stranded on beach for more than 24 hours

KIRK CREEK – An unnamed 68-year-old woman was rescued by first responders, after being stuck on a beach for over 24 hours.

The Monterey County Sheriff’s Office got a call from the woman’s husband on Friday after 10 p.m., who said she notified him that she would be going to Willow Creek Beach after spending the night in San Luis Obispo County and confirmed she left her hotel earlier that day.

He had not heard from his wife since, and she was scheduled to have already been back within cell range in the King City area.

According to a press release, the Sheriff’s Office, California Highway Patrol, State Parks and other law enforcement agencies were notified about her and asked to be on the lookout. The route she would have taken was checked out and neither she or her vehicle were located.

The next day, the search efforts continued. California Highway Patrol tried to use a helicopter, but due to the low marine layer, were not able to fly. Then, at about 1:30 p.m. California Highway Patrol got a call that her car had been located near Kirk Creek and Limekiln campgrounds. Around 2 p.m., police found the woman on a rocky beach at Kirk Creek.

The weather conditions cleared and they used a helicopter to fly her back to the roadway, where she was reunited with her husband. She sustained moderate injuries and was treated at a nearby hospital. She told police that she had been stranded for 25 hours and could not climb back due to her injuries.

California Highway Patrol posted video of part of the rescue operation to Facebook. It can be watched at https://www.facebook.com/p/CHP-Coasta....

Faithful to the Bay? Sharks center, Boston native told upset friends he was ‘forced’ to wear 49ers jersey

SAN JOSE – San Jose Sharks center Will Smith, a proud Massachusetts native, caught plenty of grief from friends for wearing a red No. 13 Brock Purdy jersey to Levi’s Stadium on Sunday when the 49ers hosted the New England Patriots.

“Yeah, I got a bunch of text messages,” Smith said Tuesday. “Not good.”

Smith, a big-time Patriots fan who lists former team star Rob Gronkowski as one of his favorite players, attended the game with fellow Sharks Macklin Celebrini, Tyler Toffoli, and Ty Dellandrea. The four sat in a suite and watched the 49ers earn a convincing 30-13 win over the rebuilding Patriots.

“It was a really cool game,” Celebrini said. “Obviously, the fans are crazy, and the Niners kind of smoked the Pats.”

So, how did Smith, who attended Boston College for a year before joining the Sharks, smooth things over with everyone back home?

“I said I was forced to,” wear the 49ers jersey, Smith said with a smile.

At one point in the game, Celebrini had a little fun with Smith, clapping and looking right at his stone-faced teammate after what was presumably a big 49ers play.

"The boys are humming."

“It was kind of crazy,” Celebrini said. “He was wearing a San Fran jersey and he was probably cheering for the Pats.”

The Sharks have no shortage of ties to New England, including head coach Ryan Warsofsky, who is a North Marshfield, Massachusetts native. He said he attended Sunday’s game in a navy blue shirt.

“If there’s one thing about people from New England, they love their sports teams,” Warsofsky said.

The 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals this Sunday, with kickoff at 1:05 p.m. The Sharks open their regular season on Oct. 10 at home against the St. Louis Blues.

Seaside to buy West Broadway property for Urban Village housing

SEASIDE – The Seaside City Council will consider approving an agreement at its meeting Thursday for the purchase of a property on West Broadway Avenue zoned for mixed use that would be developed as a significant affordable housing project in the city’s West Broadway Urban Village Plan.

It is recommended the Council adopt a resolution authorizing the interim city manager to execute a purchase agreement and joint escrow instructions, reviewed and approved by the city attorney, for the acquisition of 705 Broadway Ave., for $875,000 and take other actions to implement the purchase of the property, and open and close escrow, according to city documents.

“After the purchase of the building, the city will do some minor exterior/interior work to address some building code issues,” said Seaside Economic Development Director Jose Bazua.

The commercial property at 705 Broadway Ave., is situated in the downtown West Broadway Urban Village area at the corner of Broadway Avenue and Alhambra Street. It comprises a 1,596-square-foot commercial building on a 4,049-square-foot lot. It has been listed for sale a number of times since November 2022 and is currently listed at $1,110,000.

“At buildout, as shown in Figure 3-3c, buildings developed along West Broadway have active, ground floor retail and restaurants that utilize outdoor sidewalk space. A four-story building illustrates how residential uses can be accommodated above the ground floor uses,” says the West Broadway Urban VIllage Specific Plan. (City of Seaside)

The property is located in the city’s West Broadway Urban Village Plan area and is zoned for mixed use and will be used to develop an affordable mixed-use project, says a staff report. The acquisition of this property will give the current and future city councils an opportunity to develop a significant project for that part of the Urban Village, including affordable housing.

“After the building is brought up to code, the city will lease the building out for a commercial use as part of the West Broadway Urban Village Plan,” said Bazua who added that the ultimate vision for this property is to develop a mixed-use affordable housing project in the downtown.

“This will be the first new-build, mixed-use affordable housing structure in the West Broadway Urban Village Plan,” he said.

More than a dozen years ago, the city of Seaside adopted the West Broadway Urban Village Specific Plan “to revitalize and enhance the economic, social, cultural and recreational fabric of the city’s West Broadway Avenue.”

Part of the purpose of the West Broadway Urban Village Specific Plan “is to create a pedestrian-friendly Urban Village that offers a mix of market-rate and affordable for-sale and rental residences with ground-floor retail and commercial uses,” according to the plan.

The West Broadway Urban Village Specific Plan area is located in the southwest portion of the city wrapping along a portion of Canyon Del Rey Boulevard from Harcourt Avenue to Del Monte Boulevard then up to Broadway Avenue to Fremont Boulevard.

In the introduction to the West Broadway Urban Village Specific Plan, the document says the West Broadway Urban Village Specific Plan Area “encompasses a planned future transit hub and public library and parking structure project that will anchor development and redevelopment in the West Broadway Avenue area and will be catalysts for vitalizing the Urban Village.”

The property at 705 Broadway Ave., will be the fourth owned by the city in the Urban Village area. The other three are at 490 Broadway Ave., which now functions as a city parking lot, 1583 Del Monte Blvd., which is a commercial building, and 1569 Del Monte Blvd., which functions as another city-owned parking lot.

Pacific Grove Council to vote on increasing short-term rental violation penalties

PACIFIC GROVE – Cities across the Peninsula are taking action against an influx of short-term rental units, that many residents say have become disruptive during and outside of peak tourist weeks.

The Pacific Grove City Council will discuss a proposal to increase the penalties for short-term rentals during Wednesday’s meeting, which will continue discussions started in July, when council members asked city staff to draft a new ordinance detailing the updated penalties.

Pacific Grove prohibits short-term rentals in all residential zoning districts outside of the coastal zone. Legal short-term rentals must not exceed the limit of overnight occupants allowed, which is two people per bedroom, plus one additional person per unit. More people are allowed in the unit during the daytime and the city is able to control the limits.

Under the new proposal, the owner of an illegal short-term rental would be fined $1,500 for the first violation, $3,000 for the second violation within a year and $5,000 for any additional violations within 12 consecutive months.

The ordinance also details what constitutes as a violation or threat to public health and safety, including exceeding the occupancy limit, failure to dispose of waste and violating the city’s noise ordinance, amongst several others.

If approved, Pacific Grove will join other cities on the Peninsula and county-wide that have increased penalties for illegal short-term rentals.

The city of Monterey voted to increase administrative citations, specifically against short-term rentals that used to be capped at $1,000 fines.

The Monterey County Board of Supervisors also voted to restrict the use of short-term rentals in residential areas of Carmel Valley.

The Pacific Grove City Council will meet at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 2 at Pacific Grove City Hall, 300 Forest Avenue. The meeting will be live-streamed via Zoom and can be watched at www.cityofpacificgrove.org/Zoom_CC.

Your Google Wallet may soon be able to carry your passport

Mia Taylor | (TNS) TravelPulse

Globetrotters may soon be able to store their U.S. passport in a Google Wallet.

The tech giant has announced that it’s rolling out a variety of new Google Wallet updates aimed at travelers and commuters.

As part of that plan, Google is beta testing the ability to create a digital ID from a U.S. passport, according to a news release from Google. Once uploaded to a Wallet, the digital U.S. Passport ID could be used at select TSA checkpoints by those traveling within the United States.

Google expects that being able to store passports digitally in your Wallet will save “time and stress at the airport when traveling domestically.”

When the new digital passport feature becomes available to the public, users will be able to create their digital ID by selecting the “create an ID pass with your U.S. passport” function in the Google Wallet app.

After that, users will be required to scan the security chip located on the back of passports. The process also involves taking a selfie that will be used to verify identity.

From start-to-finish, creating a digital ID from a passport should take just a few minutes, per Google. The digitized version of one’s passport however, should not replace carrying your actual passport. Google has worked to stress this point.

The company has also underscored that your passport information will be safe when stored in a Wallet.

“ID passes are stored encrypted, meaning you must authenticate using your fingerprint, PIN or passcode before the ID pass is viewable or shareable,” Google said in a statement. “You’re in control of the information shared: before using your digital ID for identity verification, you can review what information is being requested.”

Last year, the tech company introduced the ability to save select state-issued digital IDs to Wallet.

Now, Google is in talks with partners to make digital IDs acceptable for a variety of additional travel uses, including when renting a car.

“While ID passes are accepted at select TSA checkpoints today, we’re working with partners so you can use digital IDs in even more situations — for example, in the future we believe you should be able to use digital ID for things like account recovery, identity verification and even car rentals,” the company said in a statement.

In the future, the Google wallet will automatically import transit tickets from Gmail booking confirmations. With this upcoming function, users will be able to view live train status updates from the ticket in the Google app.

And yet another feature in the works would provide Google Wallet users with notifications if there’s a change to an assigned seat associated with a boarding pass.

Since launching two years ago, people in more than 90 countries and territories have begun using Google Wallet to save and access everything from payment cards to train and event tickets.

Recipes: Make a New Orleans seafood boil as part of your Rosh Hashanah feast

Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, begins on Wednesday evening, Oct. 2.

A favorite saying on Rosh Hashanah is “We should be heads and not tails,” which refers to a wish for success at school, at work and in general. To allude to this motto, it’s customary to eat fish during the holiday’s ceremonial dinner and to serve it with its head on; in some households even a lamb’s or goat’s head is served. These days many people modify this tradition; friends of ours who used to follow this custom now serve fish fillets and display a drawing of a whole fish instead of the real thing.

This year we’ll prepare our take on a New Orleans seafood boil that is classically made with shellfish as well as potatoes and corn. We substitute tilapia, a kosher fish, and cook it as a sheet pan dinner with the same vegetables and the dish’s seasoning.

“Have a good and sweet year!” is a popular greeting on the holiday. Several dishes in our Rosh Hashanah menu have touches of sweetness: Grapes in our chickpea and hearts of palm rice salad; peaches and plums in our green salad; and sweet tomatoes in our couscous and quinoa salad.

We’ll serve a healthy, fruity dessert too — mango and banana pudding topped with berries and Greek yogurt. To give it Rosh Hashanah flair, we’ll drizzle the fruit with honey.

New Orleans Style Fish Baked with Potatoes and Corn

Fish is traditional on Jewish New Year’s dinner menus. We’re serving our kosher version of a Louisiana seafood boil, which we make with tilapia as an easy sheet pan dinner accompanied by baby tomatoes and lightly cooked chard and zucchini.

Yield: 2 servings

INGREDIENTS

1/2 pound small yellow or red potatoes, or some of each

1/2 ear corn, halved lengthwise

1 small onion, sliced

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 1/2 teaspoons seafood seasoning

8 ounces mild fish fillets, such as tilapia

1 lemon, cut in wedges

Chopped Italian parsley or cilantro, or a mixture (for sprinkling)

6 spiced pecans (optional garnish)

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat air fryer oven or conventional oven to 400 degrees.

2. Cut a small slit in each potato and place whole potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl. Add 2 tablespoons water; microwave on high for 5 minutes. Rinse potatoes in cold water until cool enough to handle.

3. Microwave corn half, covered, 3 minutes. When cool enough to handle, cut in 2-inch pieces.

4. Halve potatoes lengthwise; place in a bowl. Add corn and onion. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 teaspoon seafood seasoning; stir to coat. Transfer to a foil-lined baking pan.

5. Place fish on a plate and add remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon seafood seasoning.

6. Roast potato mixture in oven for about 10 minutes or until cooked through. Remove and keep warm.

7. Put fish fillets on foil-lined baking pan in oven and roast for 7 to 10 minutes or until they can be flaked with a fork.

8. Serve fish, potatoes and corn with lemon and parsley or cilantro. Garnish with pecans.

Mango and Banana Pudding with Berries and Greek Yogurt is adapted from a recipe for a Latin America agua fresca. (Photo by Yakir Levy)Mango and Banana Pudding with Berries and Greek Yogurt

I adapted this pudding recipe from a Latin American agua fresca, a sweet beverage.

To make it, you blend a mango with a banana, milk, and sugar if desired. If you’d like a dessert with zip, add a roasted semi-hot pepper. We enjoy it topped with Greek yogurt and a colorful mixture of berries. For a sweet touch for the Jewish New Year, drizzle the pudding with honey.

Yield: 2 servings

INGREDIENTS

1 large mango, halved, peeled and pitted

1 banana, sliced

1 mild Hatch or Anaheim Pepper, roasted, peeled and seeded (optional)

1 cup dairy or plant-based milk, more if needed

Sugar to taste (optional)

2 or 3 tablespoons Greek yogurt

1/3 cup mixed berries, such as raspberries, blackberries and blueberries

Honey (for drizzling)

DIRECTIONS

1. Blend mango, banana, pepper (if using) and milk in a blender. Add more milk if necessary to adjust dessert’s thickness. Add sugar to taste.

2. Divide pudding between two dessert dishes. Spoon yogurt onto center of each and top with berries. Serve cold, with honey.

Cauliflower Steaks with Chickpeas and Hazelnut Dressing is more colorful when made with purple cauliflower, but you can use any variety you like. (Photo by Yakir Levy)Cauliflower Steaks with Chickpeas and Hazelnut Dressing

Purple cauliflower makes this dish colorful but use any cauliflower you like. It is based on a recipe in “Diabetes Cookbook for Dummies” by Dr. Simon Poole and Amy Riolo, with Dr. Alan Rubin. To roast the hazelnuts, I use an air fryer toaster oven. The skins come off when I rub them lightly with my fingers, without needing the usual step of rubbing the roasted nuts in a towel or strainer.

Yield: 4 servings

INGREDIENTS

1/3 cup hazelnuts

1 large or 2 small heads cauliflower

2 to 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, or to taste

1 cup cooked chickpeas

1 teaspoon ground coriander

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/8 teaspoon salt

Pepper to taste

1 teaspoon hazelnut oil

2 tablespoons sherry vinegar or white wine vinegar

Chopped parsley (optional)

DIRECTIONS

1. Roast hazelnuts on baking sheet at 250 degrees in an air fryer toaster oven for 6 minutes (or longer in a conventional oven), or until their skins begin to split. Transfer nuts to a plate. Rub nuts lightly to remove skins. Chop nuts.

2. Preheat oven to 400 to 425 degrees. To slice cauliflower into steaks: Cut off cauliflower stem; carefully cut cauliflower in half from top down with a sharp chef’s knife. Place each half cut-side down on a cutting board. Cut off rounded edges, leaving 2 flat steaks roughly 1/2 inch thick. Put them on a baking sheet. (Save rounded edges, which are crumbly, for salads or soups.) With a paring knife, trim off remaining leaves or stems. Drizzle steaks with 1 tablespoon olive oil.

3. Combine chickpeas with coriander, paprika, salt, pepper and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Spread on baking sheet with cauliflower.

4. Roast about 15 minutes. Carefully flip cauliflower; stir chickpeas. Bake another 15 minutes or until cauliflower is golden. Transfer to a plate.

5. Combine hazelnut oil, hazelnuts and vinegar in a small bowl. Mix well with a fork. Spoon over cauliflower and chickpeas. Serve sprinkled with parsley.

Moroccan Pepper Salad with Tomatoes is based on a North African pepper stew called matbuhal. (Photo by Yakir Levy)Moroccan Pepper Salad with Tomatoes

I learned how to prepare this popular North African pepper stew known as matbuha when I lived in Israel. It is often called a cooked salad. Usually it is served as an appetizer with bread or as a side dish. Garlic and hot peppers add zing but do not overwhelm the dish; their flavors mellow during cooking.

Yield: 6 to 8 servings

INGREDIENTS

5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

4 large green peppers, cut into 1/2-inch dice

3 pounds ripe tomatoes, peeled, seeded and diced, or 3 (28-ounce) cans plum tomatoes, drained and diced

Salt to taste

3 jalapeños or other hot peppers, cored, seeded and finely diced

6 to 8 large cloves garlic, chopped

DIRECTIONS

1. Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add green peppers and saute until tender, about 15 minutes. Remove with slotted spoon.

2. Add tomatoes and salt to pan. Cook uncovered over medium-low heat until thickened, about 15 minutes. Add sauteed peppers, jalapenos and garlic. Cook over low heat until stew is thick, about 10 minutes. Off the heat, stir in remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Taste for salt. Serve at room temperature.

Couscous and Quinoa Salad with Edamame and Mint can be made with farro or wheat berries instead of couscous. (Photo by Yakir Levy)Couscous and Quinoa Salad with Tomatoes, Edamame and Mint

We make this salad, a favorite of ours, from white and red quinoa, couscous and edamame, along with tomatoes, green onions and mint. Instead of couscous, you can use farro or wheat berries. The salad is based on a recipe in “Melissa’s Hatch Pepper Cookbook.”

Yield: 4 or 5 servings

INGREDIENTS

1 cup cooked couscous

1/2 a 9-ounce package cooked white and red quinoa

5 ounces cooked shelled edamame

5 ounces small ripe tomatoes, diced or sliced

3 green onions, thinly sliced

1 bunch Italian parsley, finely chopped

1/4 cup finely chopped mint, plus a few whole mint leaves for garnish

Dressing:

1 small hot or semi-hot pepper, roasted, peeled and seeded

1 small clove garlic, peeled

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS

1. Mix couscous, quinoa and edamame in a large bowl. Add tomatoes, green onions, parsley and chopped mint; mix gently.

2. Dressing: Blend roasted hot pepper, garlic, olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper in a mini food processor or blender.

3. Fold dressing into salad. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve garnished with mint leaves.

49ers get good news on Warner; McCaffrey’s condition is double trouble

SANTA CLARA — The 49ers got good news regarding linebacker Fred Warner Monday and clarified the condition of running back Christian McCaffrey.

Warner was listed as “day to day” with an ankle injury after missing the second half of Sunday’s 30-13 win over the New England Patriots at Levi’s Stadium. It was Warner’s 45-yard interception return for a touchdown that put the 49ers’ up 13-0 after settling for short field goals on their first two drives.

“If it’s a high ankle sprain you know it’s going to take some time,” Shanahan said in his weekly conference call with local writers. “I know he’s hurting today but when you say he’s day to day it gives him a chance to heal up this week.”

If so, Warner has a chance to be on the field when the 49ers (2-2) host the Arizona Cardinals (1-3) Sunday at Levi’s Stadium.

McCaffrey, meanwhile, was at the stadium after returning from Germany to receive treatment for Achilles tendinitis. As general manager John Lynch said last week on KNBR, McCaffrey has “bilateral Achilles tendinitis” — which means both Achilles tendons are affected.

“During the time (he’s been out) he’s had it in both,” Shanahan said. “I think it started in one, you overcompensate, it went to the other. But mainly one of them has just been bothering him, but he’s had it in both.”

According to Lynch, the next step is building McCaffery back up physically in a “smart and thoughtful way.”

McCaffrey is eligible to return from injured reserve on Thursday, Oct. 10 in Seattle but it’s likely he’ll be out considerably longer.

Other players who were injured and listed as “day to day” along with Warner were wide receiver Jacob Cowing (shoulder), defensive tackle Jordan Elliott (knee), tight end George Kittle (ribs), wide receiver Chris Conley (oblique) and fullback Kyle Juszczyk (shoulder).

After spending the first four games of the season on the non-football injury list, wide receiver Ricky Pearsall Jr. is eligible to begin a 21-day window of practice sessions to determine when he can be added to the 53-man roster. Shanahan said he wasn’t sure if Pearsall’s window would begin this week.

Defensive tackle Kalia Davis, however, could come off injured reserve and begin his practice window as soon as Wednesday.

Warner went to the postgame podium Sunday without a limp but stopped well short of proclaiming he’d be good to go this week.

“It was all based off of feel,” Warner said. “It would take a lot for me to tap out, right? If I could have been out there I would have been. We’ll get more information as we go with the scans and all that. I feel good right now.”

In just 28 snaps, Warner had seven tackles, just one behind team leader Ji’Ayir Brown, who played all 64 snaps and had eight stops. A first-team All-Pro selection a year ago, Warner’s level of play if anything has been even higher.

“It’s kind of hard to say that, he’s been so good every year,” Shanahan said. “But the way he’s started out this year, it’s been a big-time year for him so far.”

Defensive end Nick Bosa concurred, and said the difference this year is that Warner is cashing in when plays come his way.

“He’s always played at the highest of levels,” Bosa said. “Sometimes things come your way in the game and he’s taken advantage of those opportunities. I don’t see it slowing down.”

Christian McCaffery, out with Achilles tendinitis, leaves the field Sunday after the 49ers’ 30-13 win over the New England Patriots.

MUSTAPHA AND GREEN

Safety Malik Mustapha started in place of Talanoa Hufanga (ankle) and played every snap on defense. Fellow rookie Renardo Green got his first extended look and fared well in the second half. Shanahan liked what he saw from both.

Mustapha’s day began with a whiff on a third-down tackle and ended with a dropped interception, but everything in between was solid. Shanahan liked the way Mustapha blocked on Warner’s 45-yard interception return.

“I was real happy with how he played and it was nice to get Renardo in there,” Shanahan said. “It was nothing against Ike (Isaac Yiadom), Ike had a hell of a first half. But we put him in, gave him a shot in the third quarter, he was doing good and we just rolled with him.”

THE PEARSALL PLAN

Given that Pearsall missed so much training camp time before sustaining a gunshot wound to the chest in an armed robbery attempt in San Francisco on Aug. 31, Shanahan said he wasn’t sure how long it will take to get the rookie first-round pick game ready.

“I really don’t make any judgments until I see guys go through the practice week,” Shanahan said. “You kind of make that decision as it goes.”

SNAP JUDGMENTS

The 49ers played seven rookies who accounted for 220 snaps on offense, defense and special teams —  Mustapha (69 — 64 on offense, 5 on special teams), guard Dominic Puni (68 — 62 on offense, 6 on special teams)  Green (33 — 23 on defense, 10 on special teams), defensive tackle Evan Anderson (22 — 19 on defense, 3 on special teams), linebacker Tatum Bethune (18 — 4 on defense, 14 on special teams), running back Isaac Guerendo (12 — 5 at running back, seven on special teams) and wide receiver Jacob Cowing (8 — 4 on offense, 4 on special teams).

64: Aside from Mustapha, defenders who played every snap were linebacker D’Vondre Campbell, cornerbacks Deommodore Lenoir and Charvarius Ward and safety Ji’Ayir Brown.

63: Trent Williams was questionable with a toe injury but played every offensive snap. On snap No. 62, he was 15 yards downfield leading Mason on a 25-yard run. He’s fine.

59: It was announced in the press box at one point that Kittle had a rib injury. He missed just four snaps, then pretended not to know anything about it. He called his leaping 12-yard touchdown reception from Purdy one of his five best.

50: Brandon Aiyuk had the most snaps of any wide receiver on the roster. He caught two passes for 48 yards and was targeted five times by Purdy.

35: After playing 18, 19 and 17 snaps in the first three games, Kevin Givens played nearly twice that because of injuries to Javon Hargrave and an in-game injury to Jordan Elliott (14 snaps) and had 2 1/2 sacks. Givens came in with 6 1/2 career sacks in 60 games and never had more than one in a game previously.

23: Green saw his most extensive time at cornerback after getting no snaps in the opener and four and five in Weeks 2 and 3.

16: Yiadom played just 25 percent of the defensive snaps after having percentages of 76, 63 and 83 percent in the first three games.

4: Cowing got into the mix at wide receiver but injured a shoulder. He also relinquished punt return duties to  Juszczyk following the injury.

1: Spencer Burford was the only reserve offensive lineman to to get a snap, subbing for Dominic Puni for a single play when Puni was shaken up.
