FIRE UPDATE
County fires
all contained
The Daily Journal
The Mendocino Lightning Complex
was 100 percent contained Thursday
evening, after burning 53,300 acres in
Mendocino County since June 20.
Now that containment has been
achieved, firefighters will work to
extinguish all remaining fires.
A total of 2,088 firefighters are currently working the fire lines in
Mendocino County, backed up by 119
fire engines, 45 water tenders, 18 bulldozers and 10 helicopters.
Firefighters continued to take
advantage of relatively cool weather to
continue firefighting and mop-up
efforts Thursday.
The current estimated cost of fighting the fire is $44.1 million.

4 injured in
BMW crash
The Daily Journal
WILLITS – Four people were
injured, one critically, when the BMW
sedan they were in went off Highway
101 north of Willits and collided with a
dirt embankment at 3:30 a.m.
Thursday.
According to reports from the
California Highway Patrol, the 16year-old driver of a 1995 BMW 704
sedan was northbound on Highway
101 north of the city limits when, for
unknown reasons, he lost control of the
vehicle.
The driver overcorrected, crossed
the centerline into the southbound lane
and ran off the edge of the road, colliding with a dirt embankment.
Daniel Southwick, 18, of Willits,
sustained major injuries and was flown
by Calstar to Ukiah Valley Medical
Center for treatment and then transferred to UC Davis Medical Center.
Luca Ball, 21, of Willits, sustained
moderate injuries and was taken to
Howard Memorial Hospital for treatment.
Kevin Merritt, 19, of Willits, and the
16-year-old driver, also of Willits, sustained minor injuries and were also
taken to Howard Memorial Hospital.
According to CHP reports, the driver of the BMW, whose name was not
released, was arrested, although the
report did not list a charge.
A vehicle engulfed in flames is a casualty of Thursday’s fire, which also spread to a
vineyard. At left, Redwood Valley firefighters attack the blaze in heavy smoke.

The Daily Journal
A vineyard shop in Redwood Valley burned to
the ground Thursday afternoon, and flames spread
to the surrounding vineyards.
Mel Ford, a bulldozer driver who had just been
released from the Mendocino Lightning Complex
Fires, called in the fire near the corner of West
Road and School Way at around 4 p.m. Thursday.
The fire was in the roof but spread quickly to
the rest of the building.
“When I got here it was still standing, and the
roof was on fire,” said Phil Saye, who saw the
smoke while on his way home from work and ran
over.
Redwood Valley-Calpella Fire District Chief
Tom Hession said the shop was “fully involved”
and flames were threatening a nearby aluminum
building when firefighters arrived.
Scorch marks on the metal marked where the
flames got close Thursday.
Hession said the shop served as a storage area
and contained an old grape hauler, several antique
cars, welding equipment, an air compressor and
propane tanks.
“The fire truck arrived and the propane tanks
just exploded,” Saye said.
Portions of the building’s west wall fell on a
four-door sedan parked nearby, setting it on fire as
well.
Hession said strong southwesterly winds blew
embers off the burning building, which ignited a
fire in a nearby vineyard and burned 10 acres
before being contained.
California Highway Patrol officers blocked off
West Road between School Way and North State
Street while firefighters worked the fire.
No one was in the building at the time of the
fire, but Hession said a nearby resident was treated for smoke inhalation,
Hession said the building belonged to Bill
Neese.
Cal Fire, the Ukiah Valley Fire District and
Pacific Gas and Electric also responded to the fire.

Voluntary water conservation program approved by city
By ROB BURGESS
The Daily Journal
At its bi-monthly meeting
Wednesday night, the Ukiah City
Council approved a voluntary water
conservation program by a 4-1 margin.
In June, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger proclaimed a statewide
drought, warning that the state’s
water supply is dangerously low
because of below-average rainfall.
The city of Ukiah had the driest
spring on record in 2008.
“The part of this that concerns me
is that we might not be able to meet
demand,” said Councilmember Mari
Rodin. “Why aren’t we making conservation mandatory? Do you wait
until you can’t turn on the tap to conserve?”
Councilmember John McCowen
said he believed in the community
spirit of Ukiahans, but that a tiered
UKIAH CITY COUNCIL
rate system might be necessary to
force a change in some holdouts.
“Most folks in the community are
concerned,” he said. “Most respond
to the carrot, but others need an extra
push.”
Councilmember Phil Baldwin said
he supported the plan, but worried
that the extra water would be used
for development downstream.
“I hope our community isn’t conserving to encourage sprawl south of
here,” he said. “Hopefully this has
nothing to do with more stupid
development.”
A similar voluntary conservation
program implemented last year
achieved a 9.4 percent reduction in
water use between July 1 and Oct.
28, 2007.
During the same period, $84,551
of revenue was lost as a result of the
conservation efforts.
“We have these fixed costs,” said
Mayor Doug Crane. “What have we
done in the face of this reduction in
sales and what are our obligations?
How do we protect our infrastructure? When do we come to grips with
the process of adjusting rates to the
probability of less water being sold?”

in Stettin, Germany. she
came to the United States in
1962 and lived in Ukiah

After school arts
create the ‘wave’
Outside of the back classroom at St. Michael’s church
in Fort Bragg there are piles
of glass and stone – webbed
glass from shattered windshields, broken plates, assorted smooth pebbles. This is the
treasure trove of donated glass
that is the inspiration of art
instructors Karen McDonell,
Laura Erskin, Mary Salido
and students from the Shelter
Cover Middle School who are
participating in the Big
Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS)
after
school
art
and
cooking/life skills program.
The
program
recently
received a grant from the A.
D. Abramson Fund at the
Community Foundation to
create the “Wave” – a mosaic
designed for outdoor public
display.
The Wave project blends
two of Karen’s chief interests
– art and young people. She
has been a painter for the last
three decades, focusing on
iconography for the last ten
years. (She studied the painting of icons at a Benedictine
Monastery in Mt. Angel
Oregon.) And she has always
made room in her life for kids
– in addition to having children of her own, she has
brought foster children and
other young friends into her
home over the years. “My second husband was a school
psychologist,” she explains,
“and I taught various subjects
in private schools. But, of
Giving Back
By Susanne Norgard
course, my favorite subject
was art.”
When Karen and Mary
went to the schools to introduce the BBBS after school
program, they found a ready
partner in Melanie Dease, a
teacher at the Shelter Cove
Middle School.
Melanie
writes: “As Albert Einstein
once stated, “Imagination is
more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited.
Imagination encircles the
world." As an integral part of
the core curriculum, BBBS’s
art program has taught our
students how to think creatively, skillfully and outside
the box. It has taught them life
skills to include: developing
an informed perception,
developing the ability to

Richard Hayes Phillips
The Daily Journal
The community is invited to see for
themselves how the 2004 presidential
election in Ohio, the state that decided
the election, was rigged in hundreds
of different ways, and how the 2008
election may be stolen.
Richard Hayes Phillips, author of
“Witness to a Crime: A Citizens' Audit
of an American Election,” will present
a slide show of evidence and sign his
new book on Sunday evening, July 20,
7 p.m. at the Saturday Afternoon
Clubhouse in downtown Ukiah.
Mr. Phillips is the foremost expert
on the fraudulent 2004 presidential
election in Ohio. His work was relied
upon by John Conyers in challenging
the Ohio electors in Congress, by
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. in his landmark
article for Rolling Stone magazine,
“Was the 2004 Election Stolen?” and
by Algenon L. Marbley in issuing his
federal court order protecting the ballots from destruction. He has twice
been recognized as an expert witness
in state and federal proceedings as an
election fraud investigator.
Assisted by others who compiled
the data into tables and spreadsheets,
Phillips wrote and submitted 21
papers to the Ohio Supreme Court as
an expert witness in the Moss v. Bush
lawsuit. He spearheaded an effort by
citizen volunteers, equipped with digi-
tal cameras, that amassed some 30,000
photographs -- actual ballots, poll
books, voter signature books, ballot
accounting charts, and other elections
records -- that are forensic evidence
from the election and that document
voter suppression, ballot tampering,
ballot alteration, ballot substitution,
ballot box stuffing, miscounting of
votes, tabulator rigging, secret vote
counting, and destruction of evidence.
One thousand two hudred of these
images are included on a CD that
accompanies his book, and many of
these will be shown at the presentation.
The Clubhouse is at 107 S. Oak St.,
at the corner of Church St. Admission
is $10. More information: 391-5853.

Chapter of The Alliance for
Democracy.
Keeping our greens in the community
In case you missed it, last
Saturday the Himalayan Café

run of 10 AM chef demonstrations that should last
through the middle of
September. Thanks to the
Ukiah Natural Foods Co-op
for sponsoring these events.
Tomorrow’s chef is
Thomas Allen, owner of Tres
Classique Specialty Foods.
Tres Classique makes fine
infused oils, balsamic vinegars, dressings, marinades
and desert sauces right here
in Ukiah. Check them out at

Thomas will be demonstrating how to work with infused
oils and balsamic vinegars.
Tres Classique is also one
of many local food businesses that are going the extra
mile to help build a resilient
local economy. They recently
made a deal with Covelo
Organics to get the flavor for
their next basil infusions.

Some of our local restaurants are also doing amazing
work to boost the local farming community. Much of
what’s on the Ukiah Brewing
Company Menu is local.
They are using local vegetables, fruits, flowers, meats,
poultry, eggs, dairy, tofu,
breads, and desserts. Patrona
Restaurant won the 1st annual Greater Ukiah Localization
Project Award last year for its
patronage of local farms.
The Market Message
By Scott Cratty
But is this “buy local”
stuff really such a big deal? Is
it worth the bother? It is. No
doubt about it.
Let’s assume you decide to
go out to eat and select a dish
made with locally produced
food. Part of your dollars will
go to the local owners and
employees, part to the also
local advertisers, banking services, etc., that the restaurant
uses. Much of the remainder
will go to the local farmers,
who will in turn support other
local businesses. If the
banker, accountant, contractor
and other service providers
that the farmer and restaurant
use then take part of their
earnings to go enjoy another
local dish (or come to the
farmer’s market), most of
your money will keep moving around Ukiah for a very
long time.
Every time a dollar moves
from one local hand to another it is new income for the
recipient. The more often
your dollar changes hands
locally, the more money people in the Ukiah area earn
and have to spend. When you
keep a dollar in the local
economy it has about the
same effect as a dollar captured by a new export.
In contrast, consider what
happens to your dollar if you
go to Healdsburg, opt for a
frozen dinner or get groceries
flown, shipped and/or trucked
in from parts unknown. Much
of that dollar will instantly
“leak” out of the county –
part of it likely adding to the
compensation package of a
corporate executive or stock
trader.
Am I arguing that you
should always buy local?
No. I don’t, and it is not
always wise or even possible
to do so. But, it is always
worth considering and giving
some priority when you are
deciding where to spend your
money.
The benefits of selecting a
local source apply to more
than just food. The Ukiah
Saturday Farmer’s Market’s
growing local craft section is
another place that you can
keep your dollars local by
purchasing a wide range of
goods directly from local artisans. You can get your
lotions, soaps and other personal care products, cleaners,
linens, pots, glassware, dolls,
metalwork, planters and
woodwork, fiber art, table
cloths, bags, jewelry and
much more.
In addition to the cooking
demonstration we have these
fine events tomorrow:
• The Discovery World
Preschool teachers, who hold
credentials specializing in
early literacy, will be reading
favorite children’s books at
10 AM. So, in case your kids
are not so keen on cooking
they can enjoy a good story.
• The Ukiah Unified
School District will be on
hand sharing information
about healthy, easy snacks for
hot summer days. They will
be making trail mix with kids
and handing out jump ropes,
as well as giving out cookbooks to parents!
• Don Willis will again
grace us with his fine accordion playing. Don always
finds just the right soundtrack
for your time in the market
café.
Speaking of music, know
any student groups or organizations that might like to perform at the market? If so,
contact me at 462-7377. Aug.
9 will be a day for local student players.
Warning oyster fans.
Sebastian from Aqua-Rodeo
will not be at the market
tomorrow. He is expected
back next week. You could
try The Fish Peddler …

From the desk of ...
Letters from our readers
Who’s the immigrant?
To the Editor:
Not to very long ago a Yuki elder who
has since passed on to a better place told
me stories of how our little Native
American children were threatened to
have their tongues cut out if they spoke
their Native language. Our children were
forced to go the boarding school here on
the Round Valley Reservation where such
atrocities took place. Many of the children
tried to escape to return to their families
but many who did not make it would not
be found until the snow melted in the
spring.
This I mention as just a reminder to the
gentleman who is so despondent over the
U.S. (California) handling of immigration
issues. Would he dirty his hands to pick
tomatoes in the blazing hot sun so that we
might eat? Would he give his life working
in despicable conditions so that we might
be fed? Oh, of course minimum wages are
paid. Who would serve us our food in
these “high up town” restaurants, but do
not leave out good old McDonald’s. Who
would make the beds that we sleep in at
these, once again “high up town” motels,
hotels, but do not leave out Motel 6. I
could go on and on about all the benefits
we enjoy that the so-called immigrants
provide. Don’t forget the tending of our
marijuana gardens. These Hispanic neighbors of ours even carry heavy choker setter cables at the young age of 16 years.
This I know to be the truth as that 16 year
old was my son-in-law who worked for
many years in the woods for one of the
wealthiest logging companies here. The
owner of that company has since moved
on with all his wealth made by hiring
folks like my son-in-law who maybe at
the time did not carry the necessary credentials to be a citizen, but wanted to
make a living. He loved to eat and have a
place to lay his head after a long hard day
of work. He wasn’t lazy and did not
receive welfare benefits. Yes he spoke is
own language.
Wouldn’t you know, the Hispanics have
turned the tables for us Native Americans.
They insist that their native tongue be
honored and printed.
I say, “pour it on” my Latino brothers
and sisters. You have done something we
could never do. Although today, don’t you
know, society will pay hundreds of dollars
on research trying to find all they can
about our Native tongue, of which there
are many.
Oh well, I suppose the despondent
gentleman need not be educated about the
year of 1492. The year the real terrorizing
immigrants arrived on our shores and it
wasn’t the Hispanics. As a tribal Wylacki
elder it is sad and disheartening to know
that even in the year of 2008 we have not
gotten away from such outright racism
and bigotry. Are we that ignorant? Put that
ugly sign down sir, and do some real soul
searching as to just who is the immigrant.
Who knows, that tomato might taste
mighty fine after all.

Where are they?
To the Editor:
You know, the ones that said to save the
forests from corporate cleaning and cutting? Earth First, save us from the overgrown smoking forests that the lumber
companies used to keep clean with good
forestry practices. I have lived here over
50 years and have never seen anything
like this! I took a ride out through the fires
over Low Gap and Orr Springs, and the
undergrowth is what is burning, smoking,
what logging used to keep under control,
the foliage is so dense that I do not know
how the deer, if any, can survive. No huggers here, just our tax dollars (CDF,
National Guard, fire agencies) fighting the
fires. I will take the loggers any day and
our community can use the jobs that the
industry produced -- needed now.
Huggers, go fight fires -- really save a tree
if you dare.

Where’s it always
Memorial Day
“The curtains pull away. They come to the door.
And they know. They always know.”
-- Maj. Steve Beck, U.S. Marine Corps
There’s something in the water
It’s about 11:36 a.m. on
Friday, July 11. Today I’m at
Mendocino
Community
College in the Little Theater
participating in a Water
Conference put on by
MendoFutures. I am positive
this means nothing to any of
you. What if I mentioned
that the top water leaders in
the county were attending,
that the outcome was creating actionable, realistic,
“can do” Monday morning
solutions and everyone is
working and making decisions as if the county’s good
comes before their individual views? I know what
you’re thinking. This can’t
be Mendocino County. Well,
I am afraid it is. That’s right,
people are communicating
through their differences
based on stronger relationships, shared values and
operating for the common
good. Hey, I just tell them
like I see them.
The people attending are
the movers and shakers of
water. The title and theme
for the Conference was,
“Water Commons.” The
term is new to me but I think
the definition goes something like this: Citizens of
Mendocino County work
towards community empowerment to advance alternative thinking and shared use
of water along with governance towards a more sustainable and prosperous
Mendocino County. Simply
put I think it means we’re all
related. Other important
themes heard throughout the
conference were flexible,
small, resilient, local, community and integrated. Well,
that defines us doesn’t it?
Looks like this old dog is
going to have to learn some
new tricks.
These participants are
people who have dedicated
decades of service to building a sustainable place to
live and prosper. I could list
their names and impressive
titles but that wouldn’t be
appropriate, respectful and
not the point. Just know they
are the leaders and decisionmakers, what I call the “glue
people” the connectors.
They are the planners, volunteers, community leaders
and just people with passion
Another voice BY RICK LE BURKIEN
for public service. I have
never seen such a group of
citizens in one place who
love what they do and do
what they love. And, what
they love is Mendocino
County.
This is a group of people
where personalities don’t
overshadow what is really
important. Can you imagine? People are actually listening to each other. Ok, you
really want to be impressed,
no proud? Mendocino
County is looking more like
a model, progressive, citizen-oriented community. I
mean take a look at their
operating principles: 1. Our
strategies address the changing economic, environmental and social needs of
Mendocino County; 2.
Utilize a way of communicating through differences
based on strong relationships, shared values and
common ground; 3. Build on
and support the good things,
the good works already
existing in Mendocino
County; 4. The interests of
the county come first where
when necessary personal
interests and biases are set
aside for the greater good; 5.
Decisions are made based on
long term vision and plans;
6. Connect and engage people with divergent ideas; 7.
Build a strong coalition
through the “glue people” to
move forward. Cooperation,
respecting differences, setting biases aside for the
greater good? This is outrageous, we’re not going to
stand for this are we?
MendoFuture’s first conference was titled, “CHANGING THE GAME.” It looks
like this Mendofuture group
is walking their talk. They’re
even
talking
about
Mendocino County having a
“Water Ethic.”
I joined MendoFutures
because I wanted to help
build an entity where decisions could be made where
people’s personalities were
not the focus and the interests of the community came
first. Been there, done that. I
wanted to be integral to an
organization where the talent, commitment and dedication to a higher quality of
life in Mendocino County
were optimized. I wanted to
be part of a group of like
minded people who wanted
more walk vs. talk in the
areas of sustainability and
economic development. The
reason I am so involved in
the water aspect of
MendoFutures is that I
believe water is at the center
of creating solutions for all
other initiatives and is actually the “common denominator.” We solve our water
challenges and everything
else falls into place. Just an
opinion. I surely could be
wrong.
Here’s kind of a summary
of their outcomes: 1. Create
a series of projects throughout the county that will
demonstrate the feasibility
and practicality of water
conservation and storage; 2.
Create a series of doable
water conservation and storage demonstration projects
and; 3. Create increased
stakeholder and community
involvement.
So, the old Mendocino
County way is changing.
Same passion, same desire
for sustainability and prosperity, same respect and
honor of the past and the culture but not the same way of
doing business. It’s about
collaboration and respect.
It’s about forward and creative thinking. It’s about a
citizen-based approach. It’s
about seeing the bigger picture of community and acting on the common good.
It’s about partnership and
it’s certainly about time. If
you want to become part of
the solution email us at
[email protected].
Remember the rules of
engagement though: 1.
Communicate through differences based on relationship and; 2. Put interests of
community first for the common good.

Sometimes Beck would linger in his vehicle in
front of an American home, like that of the parents of
Lance Cpl. Kyle Burns in Laramie, Wyo. Beck knew
that, as Jim Sheeler writes, every second he waited
“was one more tick of his wristwatch that, for the family inside the house, everything remained the same.”
Beck -- now Lt. Col. Beck -- was a CACO, a casualty assistance calls officer whose duty was to inform
a spouse or parents that their Marine had been killed.
He is the scarlet thread -- like the stripes on Marines’
dress-blue trousers, symbolizing shed blood -- that
connects the heart-rending stories in Sheeler’s “Final
Salute: A Story of Unfinished Lives.” The book, which
proves that the phrase “literary journalism” is not an
oxymoron, expands the meticulous and marvelously
modulated reporting he did for the Rocky Mountain
News, and for which he received a Pulitzer Prize. His
subject is how America honors fallen warriors.
More precisely, it is about how the military honors
them. The nation, as Marine Sgt. Damon Cecil says,
“has changed the channel.” Still, Sheeler sees civilians
getting glimpses of those who have sacrificed everything. The glimpses come as the fallen are escorted
home. When an airline passenger, noting an escort’s
uniform, asked if the sergeant was going to or coming
from the war, he repeated words the military had told
him to say: “I’m escorting a fallen Marine home to his
family from the situation in Iraq.”
The situation. Sheeler:
“When the plane landed in Nevada, the sergeant
was allowed to disembark alone. Outside, a procession
walked toward the cargo hold. The airline passengers
pressed their faces against the windows.
“From their seats in the plane they saw a hearse and
a Marine extending a white-gloved hand into a limousine. In the plane’s cargo hold, Marines readied the
flag-draped casket and placed it on the luggage conveyor belt.
“Inside the plane, the passengers couldn’t hear the
screams.”
The knock on the survivors’ door is, Beck says, “not
a period at the end of their lives. It’s a semicolon.”
Deployed military personnel often leave behind, or
write in the war zone, “just in case” letters. Army Pfc.
Jesse Givens of Fountain, Colo.: “My angel, my wife,
my love, my friend. If you’re reading this, I won’t be
coming home. ... Please find it in your heart to forgive
me for leaving you alone.” To his son Dakota: “I will
always be there in our park when you dream so we can
still play together. ... I’ll be in the sun, shadows,
dreams, and joys of your life.” To his unborn son: “You
were conceived of love and I came to this terrible place
for love.”
The manual for CACOs says, “It is helpful if the
NOK (next of kin) is seated prior to delivering the
news. ... Speak naturally and at a normal pace.”
Sometimes, however, things do not go by the book.
Doyla Lundstrom, a Lakota Sioux, was away from
her house when she learned that men in uniform had
been to her door. She called the father of her two sons
-- each serving in Iraq; one as a Marine, one as a soldier -- and screamed into her cell phone, “Which one
was it?” It was the Marine.
Sheeler says that troops in war zones often have email and satellite telephones, so when someone is
killed, communication from the area is stopped lest
rumors reach loved ones before notification officers
do. “As soon as we receive the call,” Beck says, “we
are racing the electron.”
When the Army CACOs came to the Arlington, Va.,
door of Sarah Walton, my assistant, she was not there.
She rarely forgot the rule that a spouse of a soldier in
a combat zone is supposed to inform the Army when
he or she will be away from home. This time Sarah forgot, so it took the Army awhile to locate her at her in
parents’ home in Richmond.
Her husband, Lt. Col Jim Walton, West Point class
of 1989, was killed in Afghanistan on June 21. This
week he will be back in Arlington, among the remains
of the more than 300,000 men and women who rest in
the more than 600 acres where it is always Memorial
Day. This is written in homage to him, and to Sarah,
full sharer of his sacrifices.

ACT Summer Program is under way
This summer, students from the greater Ukiah area are
involved in a summer program that helps to unite at-risk youth,
ranging in age from 14 to 18, with animals in need of training
and homes. Students earn community service and school credits by attending this program.
The animals are carefully selected by Sage Mountainfire,
Adoption Coordinator at the Ukiah Shelter of Mendocino
County Animal Care and Control, on the basis of their known
history and proven calm temperament. Kelly Boesel, of
Moochie Poochie Pet Boutique, provides her expertise as an
animal trainer to teach the kids how to work with the animals at
Animal Control to do tricks and learn the basics to help them
become more adoptable. The youth also learn about possible
careers working with animals, pet nutrition and responsible pet
ownership. The youth are also tasked with organizing and participating in an animal adoption fair.
The Adoption Fair will be held in Alex Thomas Plaza in conjunction with the Farmers Market on Saturday, August 2, 2008,
from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm. Please join us for this event. You
may be introduced to your new best friend! For more information on the adoption fair, please call Sage Mountainfire at 4676453. This program is sponsored by: The Mendocino County

imagine what might be, articulating a vision, and accepting
responsibility to complete a
task from start to finish. As a
society we must develop children who are productive,
happy, well adjusted citizens,
rather than kids who can just
pass a test and get through
school. This program has been
vital in accomplishing this by
providing our students with a
unique opportunity to build
their self-confidence, refresh
their imaginations, and reach
their full potentials.”
Whether it is in an art class,
or through graffiti, Karen sees
that art is a necessary emotional outlet for some young
people. “Art is a great way for
expression, especially if you
find it difficult to express
yourself in words. It is a way
of getting your feelings out
there, and kids like the fact
that there is something solid
after they finish.” Stemming
from recent problems with
graffiti, Karen has been talking to the police department
about finding a legal place for
kids to do graffiti art, something that is being done successfully in other cities. “I see
it as another opportunity to
teach kids how to paint and
express themselves,” she says.
“It can be a healthy outlet and
positive for the community as
a whole.”
As a professional artist,
Karen values teaching art theory and technique. “Many of
these kids have talent,” she
says. “There are some of the
kids in the class who have the
instincts of an artist or designer, but they have no idea that
they have these talents. My
joy is to watch them grow and
begin to view themselves as
artists. It is wonderful to see
them gain confidence.”

Grace Schell celebrates 99th birthday
The Daily Journal
Grace Schell, former resident of Lakeport was the guest
of honor at a party celebrating
her 99th birthday on July 5th at
The Brookside Care Home in
Ukiah. Grace was born on July
4th 1909 in Medicine Mound
Tex. The Ukiah Senior Center
also had a cake in her honor on
July 3rd and the family met for
a barbecue on the 4th of July at
the Ukiah home of her daughter, Twyla to celebrate but the
big party was held on the 5th of
July at Brookside Care Home
where Grace now resides.
Approximately 50 people were
in attendance.
She was presented with a
quilt designed by her Granddaughter Tami BenevedesGraeber, also formerly of
Lakeport, now of Ukiah and
Oregon and her daughter
Twyla, Ukiah, wife of former
Lake Country Sheriff Ray
Benevedes. Twyla hand quilted
the quilt, which took many
months. The quilt was originally being made for her 100th
birthday with an expectation of
1.5 years for completion, but it
was done earlier than expected,
so they decided to give it to her
for her 99th.
Son in law, Ray Benevedes
explained in his humorous
manner how the quilt told the
story of Grace’s life through
the blocks. Ray said, “at least

the things that we can tell are
there, the rest of the info is on
the back !” One of the blocks
was of an Asian character,
which represented the restaurant she worked at in Berkeley,
Ca. since 1944. The former
owner of the restaurant and her
two sons were guests at the
gathering. Tami also created a
block with a covered wagon to
remind her of her trip when she
was just 1 year old from
Oklahoma to Texas.
Grace wore a full length

before from Hawaii. She takes
pride in her health and appearance, still attends the Baptist
Church,

has worked in the Senior

present and did the decorations
for the Hawaiian themed party.

OAKLAND — The Oakland
Athletics traded away their second
starting pitcher this month, dealing
burly right-hander Joe Blanton to the
Philadelphia Phillies for three minor
leaguers on Thursday.
A’s general manager Billy Beane
swapped Blanton a week after sending Rich Harden to the Chicago Cubs
— and that’s with his team very
much in contention in the AL West,
six games behind the first-place Los
Angeles Angels.
“Philadelphia was aggressive,”
Oakland assistant GM David Forst
said. “They made it clear they need-
ed a starting pitcher to help out and
we were able to get the deal done.”
The minor leaguers involved are
left-hander Josh Outman, who was in
Double-A, and second
baseman
Adrian Cardenas
and outfielder Matt
Spencer, both players in Single-A.
The 27-year-old
Blanton, a 14-game
winner last season,
was 5-12 with a 4.96 ERA in 20
starts for Oakland. He has underachieved in 2008 in his fifth big
league season after being the opening day starter in March against the
Boston Red Sox in Tokyo.
“We’ve been attempting to
upgrade our rotation and we feel like
we’ve done that,” Phillies assistant
general manager
Mike Arbuckle
said. “We think
Joe is a very

who would fill Blanton’s spot in the

to be promoted, has been pitching
well for Triple-A Sacramento.
Both Blanton and Harden had
been rumored to be on the trading
block over the past year.

Position battles heat
up at Mendocino
football camp
By ANTHONY DION
The Daily Journal
In the midst of the sizzling heat of
July, the Mendocino College football
team has been hard at work to
improve upon their 8-3, conference
title season from last year.
A record turnout of 85 players
have been warming up for the
upcoming football season, while trying to avoid the pitfalls that come
with training camp in July -- dehydration and heat exhaustion. The
camp lasts three and a half weeks,
running thru August 8th before the
players get a week to rest and prepare for the beginning of the school
year when practice continues August
15th.
The Eagles will be a pretty youthful team once again with plenty of
freshmen coming in and competing
for starting positions right out of the
gate. The Mendocino coaching staff
doesn’t seem to mind this, however.
“We’ve got some really good
freshmen coming in, some really talented players,” said Mendocino
Head Coach Tom Gang. “We’re
going to have some battles at safety
and linebacker for starting spots...the
entire defense, really.”
In particular, a couple of incoming
freshmen by the names of Patrick
Davis (Florida) and Zach McKnight
(Trinity, CA) will push incumbents
Josh Gipson, Jeff Harp and Brian
Walters on the defensive line.
“[Davis] is an absolute beast,”
gushed Gang, who with the loss of
All-State DT Jermaine Jacobs is
looking for a player to step up and
fill the large void left. “I think he can
do for us what Jacobs did last season
and that will be big for our defense.”
Some other wide open battles in
camp are taking place on the offensive side of the ball where the wide
receiver position is wide open after
the departure of four sophomores.
Sophomore Shamichael Rivers
seems to have one starting spot
locked down but the other spot will
be drawn from a host of incoming
freshmen including two players from

BABE RUTH LEAGUE | TOURNAMENT
Giants prevail over Blue Jays in Babe Ruth Tournament
For The Daily Journal
In the Babe Ruth League Tournament taking place at Anton Stadium this week, the Big
O Tires Giants advanced when they defeated
the Sun Valley Ranch Blue Jays on
Wednesday, 7-6.
Behind some solid pitching from reliever
Miguel Hernandez and a three-run inside-thepark homerun by Austin Barhite, the Giants
were able to mount a successful comeback
and hold off the Blue Jays in the end.
The Blue Jays got out to an early lead
against the Giants starter, scoring three quick
runs and forcing the team to go to the pen
with Hernandez.
Down 3-0 as they picked up the bats for
the first time, the Giants decided to answer
back quickly.
Barhite and Bert Gutierrez were brought

home on a two RBI-single as the Giants cut
the deficit to one, 3-2.
The Blue Jays would get one back in the
second inning to make it 4-2 but the lead was
short lived once again.
In the bottom of the second inning, Barhite
came through with two runners on after
Thomas Bender reached with a single and
Justin Mercer bunted safely to reach first, driving a ball into the gap in deep left-center for
his inside-the-park homerun. The Giants
tacked on another run in the inning to make it
6-4 when Martin Duran came around to score
on a passed ball after getting a base hit.
To complete the back and forth game, the
Blue Jays tied the score at six in the fourth
inning off of Hernandez. It remained tied in
the fifth inning when the Giants brought in
Bert Gutierrez to pitch and watched him hold

bases for Hernandez. With the game on the
line, Hernandez forcedthe count full and
drew a walk to propel the Giants to the 7-6
win.
“This could have been anybody’s game,”
said Giants Head Coach Mark Mercer. “Both
teams played very well and showed excellent
sportsmanship, it was pretty intense right to
the end.”

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Tim Lincecum
is slated to start Sunday for the San Francisco
Giants against Milwaukee as planned, even
after the right-hander missed Tuesday’s AllStar game with flulike symptoms and dehydration.
Yet Giants manager Bruce Bochy is leaving open the option of pushing Lincecum
back if needed — and perhaps backing off his
workload some in the second half.
The hard-throwing right-hander was hospitalized in New York and missed his first AllStar game at Yankee Stadium.
“He’s doing fairly well,” Bochy said during
a team workout Thursday. “He’s got a cold.
From what I understand he’s doing much better. We had a few guys who got sick there the
last road trip. ... We’re going to check on
(Lincecum). He is somebody we’re going to
keep an eye on and monitor him the second
half because we know his innings are going to
be up there.”
The 24-year-old Lincecum, in his second
major league season, is 11-2 with a 2.57 ERA
and 135 strikeouts in 19 starts and 20 appearances for the Giants this year.

Clippers sign
Azubuike to
offer sheet
By JOHN NADEL
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles
Clippers continued their busy offseason
Thursday, signing restricted free agent swing
man Kelenna Azubuike to an offer sheet.
The 24-year-old Azubuike, who played at
Kentucky, averaged 8.5 points, 4.0 rebounds,
0.9 assists and 21.4 minutes while playing 81
games for the Golden State Warriors last season. The Warriors have seven days to match
the Clippers’ three-year offer for about $9
million once they receive a copy of the offer
sheet.
“Kelenna is a guy who’s worked his way
up,” coach Mike Dunleavy said by telephone
from Las Vegas, where the Clippers have a
summer league team. “He’s very athletic, he’s
a good shooter, a good defender and a good
all-around kid.”
Dunleavy said current plans call for
Azubuike to be the Clippers’ backup small
forward behind Al Thornton if the Warriors
decide not to match.
“He can play some (shooting guard), he
can play some (small forward),” Dunleavy
said.
Azubuike, who averaged 8.1 points, 3.4
rebounds and 0.8 assists in two seasons with
the Warriors, would join former teammate
Baron Davis with the Clippers. Davis signed
a five-year, $65 million contract earlier this
month.
Former Clippers stars Elton Brand and
Corey Maggette have gone elsewhere —
Brand signing with the Philadelphia 76ers
and Maggette with the Warriors. But the
Clippers brought in Davis and acquired center Marcus Camby from Denver earlier this
week.
Asked whether he expects the Warriors to
match the Clippers’ offer, Dunleavy said:
“You just never know. They’ve got a lot of
players at that position.”
The coach referred to Maggette, Monta
Ellis, Stephen Jackson and 2007 first-round
draft pick Marco Belinelli, among others.

PGA TOUR | BRITISH OPEN
Mediate in 3-way tie for the lead at British Open
By DOUG FERGUSON
Associated Press
SOUTHPORT, England — From
sunny San Diego to bleak and blustery
Royal Birkdale, the expression on
Rocco Mediate’s face didn’t change.
He watched one final birdie tumble
into the cup for a 1-under 69 and a
three-way share of the lead in the
British Open, straightened his 45-yearold back, then dropped his jaw into a
smile that said, “How did that just happen?”
Others must have been wondering
the same thing Thursday.
Ernie Els was playing some of his
best golf in the worst of the weather
until taking 45 shots on the back nine
and posting an 80, his highest score in
nearly two decades at his favorite
major.
Phil Mickelson was up to his knees
in grass right of the sixth green and
never found his ball, taking a triple
bogey that sent him to a 79.
Robert Allenby and Graeme
McDowell, who watched on television
as the early starters suffered through
raging wind and stinging rain coming
off an angry Irish Sea, must have wondered where all that nasty weather
went as they made their way around
Birkdale in tamer wind to join Mediate
atop the leaderboard.
Stranger still was seeing 53-yearold newlywed Greg Norman in the
hunt.
Indeed, how did all that happen?
“I have no explanation for that
whatsoever. No idea why that happened,” said Mediate, still going
strong after his epic playoff loss to
Tiger Woods last month in the U.S.
Open.
“It was just one of those rounds,” he
said. “It was just up and down, up and
down, and a couple of birdies, and
here we are. I would have been ecstat-
ic with 73 or 74 today.”
For those who thought his performance at Torrey Pines was merely a
mirage, Mediate again found bright
lines under leaden skies of the
Lancashire Coast by bouncing back
from three bogeys on the opening six
holes by holing a 40-foot birdie putt on
the 13th, chipping in from off the 17th
green for birdie and ending his round
with a 20-foot birdie.
“Crazy stuff,” he said.
Norman made enough par-saving
putts to sustain some momentum,
including a 6-footer on the final hole
that put him at 70 along with
Australian protege Adam Scott and
Bart Bryant.
The group at 71 included Retief
Goosen, who might have played the
best golf of anyone.
Goosen awoke at 2 a.m. when rain
pelted his windows, and he caught the
brunt of the bad weather his entire
round. He still managed four birdies
and was under par most of the round
until a pair of late bogeys.
“How in the hell is he 1 under?” Pat
Perez said from the warmth of the
locker room after an 82. “I would pay
to learn how to do that.”
The leaders caught a break by getting slightly better weather, although it
was by no means easy. The average
score in the opening round was about
76, driven up by 19 rounds in the 80s.
But they arrived at Royal Birkdale
in good form.
McDowell, the first-round leader
down the coast at Royal Liverpool in
2006, won the Scottish Open four days
ago at Loch Lomond. Allenby lost in a
playoff at the Stanford St. Jude Classic
in Memphis, Tenn., last month, and
tied for third two weeks ago at
Congressional.
Even so, the British Open lived up
to its billing as the major that some-
times requires the most luck. It wasn’t
a goofy bounce but the tee times,
thanks to weather that shifted along
with the tide in the middle of the 15
hours of action.
“We did get the better side of the
draw, no doubt about it,” Norman said.
“When you watch it in the morning,
you feel sorry for the guys. But there’s
times when you say, ’Well, I’ve been
there before. I’ve been on that side of
the draw, too.’ It all balances out, and
you have to take advantage of it.”
Former Masters champion Mike
Weir did his best in the morning, making an eagle on the 17th for a 71.
Sergio Garcia, the betting favorite
at Birkdale with Woods on the disabled list, was among the late starters
but did not make his first birdie until
the par-5 15th and had to settle for a
72. Also at 72 was Brandt Snedeker,
who has contended in both majors this
year. After five bogeys on the first six
holes, he was 3 under the rest of the
way.
Now for the gloomy side of this
opening round.
“It was miserable, miserable, miserable weather,” Vijay Singh said after
his 80. “It was just a miserable day.”
Mickelson, at No. 2 the highestranked player at a major for the first
time, was not terribly bothered by his
79 because he figured everyone else
would struggle. When the winds died
slightly, so did his hopes. He was tied
for 123rd.
“You can’t play,” Simon Dyson said
after an 82 while playing in the opening group. “You put a 4-handicapper
on that first tee and they’d probably
shoot 100. That’s no exaggeration. I
don’t think I’ve played a par 4 that I
couldn’t reach with my best drive and
my best 3-wood, and there’s three of
them.”
Royal & Ancient chief executive
Peter Dawson responded to the complaints with a statement as old as this
championship.
“Links golf,” he said. “Tough day
by the seaside.”
It was so brutal that two major
champions didn’t even bother to finish. Sandy Lyle stopped after 10 holes
and former PGA champion Rich Beem
made his exit after a 46 on the front.
“It’s the greatest golf known to
man,” Beem said. “It was just difficult.”
McDowell considered himself fortunate. The British Open starts at 6:30
a.m. and did not finish until nearly 10
p.m., offering the late starters a chance
to tune into the BBC and see how the
course is playing.
“I sat at home this morning with my
breakfast cereal and cup of coffee in
my hand going, ’God, do I really have
to go out there this afternoon?’
Obviously, we got pretty lucky,”
McDowell said.
He added to his good fortunes on
the 499-yard sixth hole, playing dead
into the wind toward the sea, when he
got greedy with his second shot out of
the rough and advanced it only 10
yards. He had to lay up to 9-iron range,
hit that 30 feet and made it for bogey.
“If I made double there, I’m obviously feeling pretty bad about things,”
McDowell said.
This was a day where a lot of players felt plenty miserable — except for
Mediate, of course. Even in the chill of
late afternoon, he felt the warmth of
the gallery, of another good round and
what is shaping up as a magical summer.
“A lot of crazy things have happened the last six weeks,” Mediate
said.
D-backs acquire Tony China urges restrictions on performers
Clark from Padres
PHOENIX (AP) — The
Arizona
Diamondbacks
acquired first baseman Tony
Clark from the San Diego
Padres on Thursday for minor
league pitcher Evan Scribner.
Diamondbacks
general
manager Josh Byrnes said the
team was “thrilled” to have
Clark back in Arizona, where
he spent three seasons and hit
.266 with 53 homers and 154
RBIs.
“Just matching up day to
day or late in the game is
something we probably
need,”
Byrnes
said.
“Obviously Tony has relationships here and hopefully can
get us back in the frame of
mind where we believe we
can win.”
Manager Bob Melvin was
happy to have Clark back.
“He’s able to do some
things offensively, defensively, he knows how to pinch hit
late in games, gives us a little
production, so he’s a great fit
here.”
The 36-year-old Clark
signed with the Padres before
this season. He hit .239 (21for-88) with one home run
and 11 RBIs in 70 games.
Scribner, who turns 23 on
Saturday, was 0-1 with a 1.86
ERA and one save at Class-A
Visalia. The right-hander was
2-3 with a 1.57 ERA and eight
saves at Class-A South Bend.
Arizona started the day in
first place in the AL West, one
game in front of the Los
Angeles Dodgers.
San Diego manager Bud
Black said Clark helped the
Padres in his short stint with
them.
“I thought he came to us
and he was everything we had
heard as far his presence on
the team,” Black said before
Thursday night’s game at St.
Louis. “He was a contributor
offensively for us in a basically limited role on the bench.
He was there in case anything
happened to (first baseman)
Adrian (Gonzalez).
“Tony made a lot of contributions. He’s second in the
league in pinch-hits behind
(Philadelphia’s Greg) Dobbs.
He got some clutch base hits
along the way.”
One was a three-run homer
off the New York Mets closer
Billy Wagner in an 8-6 San
Diego victory on June 8.
The Padres made no roster
move Thursday and had 24
players available for the game
against the Cardinals.
Scribner has 62 strikeouts
in 44 innings this season and
has converted all nine of his
save opportunities. He will be
assigned to Single-A Lake
Elsinore in the California
League.
Clark has spent parts of 14
major league seasons with
Detroit, Boston, both New
York teams, Arizona and San
Diego. He is a career .264 hitter with 245 homers and 800
RBIs.
BEIJING (AP) — The government warned foreign performers and entertainers
against harming China’s sovereignty or ethnic unity, a sign
of increasing nervousness
over live performances weeks
before the Olympic Games.
China is ratcheting up security ahead of the Aug. 8-24
games in an all-out attempt to
shield the event from disruptions that could tarnish
China’s carefully cultivated
image of order and control.
China should strengthen its
rules about foreign performers
and performers from Hong
Kong, Macau and Taiwan, a
notice on the Ministry of
Culture’s Web site said,
including checks on their
background.
“The content of the performance should not violate the
country’s law, including situations that harm the sovereignty of the country,” the notice
said.
Chinese authorities were
alarmed in March after
Icelandic singer Bjork shouted “Tibet! Tibet!” at the end
of her concert in Shanghai in
March.
Authorities said Bjork’s
outburst “broke Chinese law
and hurt Chinese people’s
feelings,” and vowed to be
stricter on foreign performers.
The notice said performances should also not harm
China’s “national security, or
incite racial hatred and ruin
ethnic unity.”
Performers should also not
promote pornography and
superstition, it said.
The rules were first introduced in 2005, but the notice
acts as warning and reinforcement during a sensitive time
weeks from the opening of the
Olympic Games. Agencies
that bring foreign performers
to China will be banned for
two years if they violate the
rules, it said.

Mendocino College football player, Marcus Cooley, looks for a running lane during Thursday’s practice session. Cooley is expected to be a big addition at running back where he will help fill the void left by the departed Kevin Young.
A glance
at
the
Mendocino College football camp:
When: July 14th-August
8th from 7 - 11 a.m.
Returns August 15th and
continues into the beginning of regular season on
September 6th against
Hartnell College.
Where:
Mendocino
College football field
Who: 85 players (program record)
What: The players go
through two sessions each
day. The first is a weightlifting session in the morning, followed by a full practice session. Mendocino’s
camp is one of the longer
ones in the state and Coach
Gang feels that this prepares the team extremely
well for the season. The
coaching staff focuses hard
on the players’ conditioning
and with all the time spent
in the hot summer heat,
they feel the players are
extremely well prepared for
the conditions they will
face in the fall. One interesting note to consider is
with injuries being such an
important part in the fate of
a football team, Coach
Gang believes that his program’s camp has helped to
drastically reduce the number of injuries to his team.

Florida who have shown very
well in the first four days of
camp.
Ilich Solano and Harry
Desile are the two Floridians
who look like the leading candidates for the other starting
spot. However, they will have
to hold off a number of talented newcomers in Jerry Boice,
Dustin Maletich, Tommy
Jones and Travis Ziehlke.
Mendocino thinks they
could have found a pretty nice
running back combination
with the power of Nick Henry
and the complement of slasher
Marcus Cooley, another transfer.
“[Cooley] will be a great
change-of-pace back for us to
complement Henry who is
more of a physical runner,”
said Gang. “Both are battling
it out right now at the tailback
spot but both will be getting a
lot of action there throughout
the season with how they
complement each other.”
RB Greg Miller (Ukiah) is
also in the mix at the position
and Omar Khalil, another
home grown talent, will be
competing for a starting spot
on the offensive line where
three Mendocino County high
school stars will hold it
together.
With about three weeks
remaining of summer camp
for the coaches to evaluate
players and the athletes to
learn their respective systems
whether it be offense or
defense, Gang believes the
team has a very good chance
at repeating their success from
last season.
The focus as always, will
be at quarterback where
sophomore
Jake
Laudenslayer, the team’s
MVP, returns to lead the
Eagles.
“When you have a great
guy, All-American like Jake,
the key is to get the rest of the
guys up to the same level as
him,” said Gang. “He plays at
such a high level but he can’t
do it all, so it’s going to be
very critical to our success
that we get the rest of the
offense playing right alongside with him very quickly.
That’s what we’re really
focusing on in camp -- getting
the young guys acclimated to
our offensive system as quickly as possible.
“All in all, it’s probably the
best summer camp we’ve had
here in the five years I’ve
been here. We’ve got great
kids, a great group of talent
and although they’re young,
that’s going to be what we
need to compete in this new,
much tougher conference.”
A’s
We don’t want to be doing the
chasing.”
Forst added that this doesn’t mean the A’s are writing
off 2008, saying: “’08 still has
a chance to be a good year.
Beyond that is what we’ve
done all this for.”
All three players acquired
by the A’s will remain in the
minors for now.
Cardenas batted .309 with
six triples and 16 stolen bases
in 67 games for Single-A
Clearwater and ranked seventh in the Florida State
League in batting average.
Spencer hit .249 with six
home runs and 41 RBIs in 84
games with Clearwater in his
first full professional season.
Outman was 5-4 with a
3.20 ERA and one save in 33
games, including five starts,
for Double-A Reading.
Olympics
gone into hibernation this
summer as live performances
have been stopped in bars, a
music festival canceled, and
clubs suddenly told they need
a live performance license.
Personal information about
individuals in foreign performance groups should be
examined, it said, especiallly
groups claiming to represent a
country or royal family of a
country.
Opposition to China’s 58year rule over Tibet is a popular cause among artists and
musicians in the West, and
also drawn frequent condemnation from foreign governments and activists.
A Simple
Way to
Help

shown there is a correlation between
knowledge and achievement among
students who read the newspaper.
• Up-to-date. The newspaper is a current
source of information which gives students a
realistic look at events.
• High interest rates. Students have a high
interest in the newspaper because of the
variety of subjects covered. There’s
something for everyone.

IRVINE — Former mixed
martial arts light heavyweight
champion
Quinton
“Rampage” Jackson has been
hospitalized for a mental
health evaluation.
Irvine police went to
Jackson’s home Wednesday
after his friends told authorities they were “concerned
about his behavior and some
remarks he was making,” Lt.
Rick
Handfield
said
Thursday.
“Officers spoke to him to
evaluate whether he was a
danger to himself or others,”
Handfield said. “He was
detained and was taken to an
area hospital for mental evaluation.”
Handfield declined to elaborate, citing privacy restrictions.
Jackson was arrested
Tuesday in Costa Mesa after a
3-mile chase that began as the
result of two freeway collisions and another crash when
he allegedly ran red lights in
his 2008 Ford F250 pickup,
police said.
During the chase, police
said, Jackson drove over the
raised median of the roadway,
drove onto a sidewalk, causing pedestrians to flee, and a
tire on his truck disintegrated
before he taken into custody
without incident.
Jackson was booked for
investigation of felony evading, reckless driving and hit
and run, and released on
$25,000 bail.
After the arrest, police said
they learned that Jackson may
have been involved in two
collisions on the freeway,
which did not involve
injuries.
Jackson lost his Ultimate
Fighting Championship title
July 5 in Las Vegas to Forrest
Griffin in an unanimous decision.

C OMMUNITY
Making ends meet – The ongoing job . . .
California’s budget year is
the same as the Ukiah Senior
Center’s fiscal year. We, as
well as many other businesses
are anxiously awaiting the
approval of the State Budget.
Unfortunately there are some
new variables this year that
make things even more difficult for us. The State is delaying weekly Medi-Cal payments for our Adult Day
Health Care program for six to
eight weeks. This obviously
puts any small business into a
situation of relying on cash
reserves or borrowing money
on a line of credit.
The bigger blow to our
budget is the much anticipated
Medi-Cal reduction of payments for our Adult Day
Health Care program by 10
percent. This affects our
Center’s budget by $50,000.
Currently, there is still discussion with the State regarding
the possibility of reducing the
cut for Adult Day Health Care
programs to 5 percent. We
should know the final outcome by September.
Another added difficulty
we are facing, again as are
many others, is the soaring
cost of fuel. We have nearly
doubled our fuel budget in
order to keep up with the escalating costs. We had initiated
an “extended service” time
slot to our Transportation program earlier this last year
Gray Matters
By Lavonna Silveria
offering transportation to
seniors and the disabled from
1 to 4 p.m. during the week.
This service was very popular
and after six months we had
provided over 1,800 rides.
Regrettably, we had to discontinue the service at the end of
March in order to cover the
fuel increases for our regular
program that operates from 9
a.m. to 1 p.m.
During these tough times,
the only way to make ends
meet and continue the services
offered is to watch expenses
and be proactive in increasing
revenue. The Center is proud
to have an extensive volunteer
base for which we are very
fortunate. Time volunteered
totals over 2,000 hours per
month. Seventy percent of this
time is contributed by volun-

teers over the age of 70. If we
had to pay for these services at
minimum wage, the cost
would be more than $14,000 a
month.
Unlike larger organizations
that may have fundraising
departments or pay staff to
arrange events, most of our
fundraising events are carried
out on staff volunteer time and
with the support of the Board
and loyal volunteers.

information, call Teresa or Irene at 964-3077.
Presentation on water
conservation set for July 30
Brock Dolman, Director of Occidental Arts and Ecology
Center’s Water Institute, presents a very different way to understand and utilize our precious, limited water supplies. He offers
innovative responses to the crisis of less available water to meet
ever growing needs. Instead of the typical “use less water’
approach, he advocates “save more water.” His solutions
involve political leaders, government departments and agencies, as well as growers, ranchers, and homeowners.
The presentation will take place at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday,
July 30, at the Board of Supervisors Chambers, 501 Low Gap
Road, Ukiah.
FIRST 5 is offering free
smoke alarms and installation

City
Councilmember
Benj
Thomas said he agreed with
Crane’s assessment of the
economic fallout.
“I’m troubled by what
we’re not doing,” he said.
“Raising rates is going to lead
to loss in revenue. This system is crazy and this same
system is tied to electrical
conservation. I’d like to see
the city be a voice of concern
for a system that is profoundly broken.”
After the motion to
approve the program was put
forward and then seconded,
Crane was the lone vote of
Marijuana
Wednesday, following a
lengthy investigation into a
commercial marijuana grow.
According to reports from
the
Mendocino
County
Sheriff’s Office, officers from
numerous
organizations,
including the Mendocino
Major Crimes Task Force, the
state Bureau of Narcotics
Enforcement and the Drug
Enforcement Agency, served
five search warrants on property in Island Mountain
Wednesday and eradicated
6,772 marijuana plants and
800 pounds of processed marijuana, and seized 14 firearms.
Bob Nishiyama, commander of the MMCTF, said the
plants were being grown in a
number of small greenhouses
on the property that are about
the size of Quonset huts and
were covered in black plastic.
“They’re covering them in
black plastic so (the plants)
think it’s winter,” Nishiyama
said,
The dark fools the marijuana plants into budding early,
allowing growers to produce
several crops in a season,
Nishiyama said.
“This is the first year we’ve
seen it, but that doesn’t mean
they weren’t doing it last
year,” he said.
In addition to seizing marijuana, officers also arrested 12
suspects on site. Several others fled into the woods and
were not arrested.
Nishiyama said one of the
suspects had a more novel
plan for escape and tried to
escape from police in a hang
glider that was set up at the
edge of a steep cliff.
“It was like something out
of a James Bond movie,” he
said.
The man was running for
the hang glider when police
arrived and stopped him.
Arrested

He said his opposition
symbolized his dissatisfaction
over the unresolved financial
implications of the program.
“It’s been a year since we
raised the issues of cost and
revenue and it’s gone
nowhere,” he said. “This is
my protest. My vote is about
the economic model that we
have not addressed. It’s nuts
for us to cripple ourselves
economically for a second
year. We’ve known we’ve had
this problem generated by
doing conservation and we
haven’t addressed it -- and
here we are a year later. We’ve
got to figure out why we’re
here.”

Bush surveys Northern Calif. fire damage
Associated Press
REDDING — President
Bush offered federal help and
encouragement Thursday to
some of the 25,000 firefighters
working under a blazing sun to
contain wildfires that make up
the single largest fire event ever
recorded in California.
“I always come to make sure
the federal government is coordinating closely with the state
government,” Bush said. “I
know Gov. Schwarzenegger
well enough to say that if we
weren’t, he’d let me know.”
Since a huge lightning storm
on June 21, about 2,010 separate fires have ignited across
California, ravaging nearly
900,000
acres.
Schwarzenegger declared a
state of emergency in 12 counties affected by the wildfires
and has called in the California
National Guard to help.
“The weather is stable —
steady hot and dry inland,” said
Jason Kirchner, spokesman for
the U.S. Forest Service. “Our
folks are grinding away on
these fires, making progress,
but it’s coming slow and it’s a
lot of work.”
Bush took an aerial tour with
Schwarzenegger to survey fire
damage in the 2.1 million-acre
Shasta-Trinity National Forest,
the largest in California.
Schwarzenegger said 80
percent of the U.S. fire
resources for firefighting are
deployed in California.
“I’d like to let the people out
here know that we’re paying
attention in Washington, D.C.,”
Bush said. “We care about you
and we’ll respond as best as we
possibly can.”
Bush was shown maps of
the fires and then chatted with
smoke jumpers who were
mending and repacking parachutes.
“I want to say something to
the firefighters. We had the
privilege of meeting some of
these smoke jumpers. They’re
unusual people — very courageous, determined and dedicated.”
Later, the president was flying south to speak at a political
reception in Napa that’s raising
about $850,000 for the
Daily
of lewd and lascivious conduct with a child, oral copulation, continuous sexual abuse
of a child, lewd and lascivious
conduct with a child between
14 and 15 years old and sexual penetration of a victim incapable of giving consent by the
Fort Bragg Police Department
at 10:48 a.m. Wednesday.
BOOKED -- Michael
Charles Smith, 30, of Willits,
was booked into jail on suspicion of driving under the
influence, driving with suspended privileges, taking a
vehicle without consent and
knowingly receiving stolen
goods by the California
Highway Patrol at 11:31 a.m.
Nathan Morgan/ Record Searchlight
President Bush arrives Thursday at the Redding Municipal Airport on Air Force
One to get a first-hand look at the fire-ravaged parts of Northern California’s
forests. Bush was joined by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sen. Dianne Feinstein
and others for a helicopter trip to assess the damage. Bush is the first sitting
president to visit the Redding area since John F. Kennedy dedicated Whiskeytown
Dam in 1963.
Republican
National
Committee.
Briefing reporters aboard
Air Force One during the flight
from Washington, David
Paulison, administrator of the
Federal
Emergency
Management Agency, said a
myriad of federal agencies
have been participating in
daily, one-hour video conferences with California officials
to identify ways for the federal
government to help the state.
He said a unified command
system that FEMA put in place
after the ineffective and sluggish federal response to
Hurricane Katrina started
working well last year and has
helped provide timely federal
help to California.
“It’s been tough for the residents, I understand that,”
Paulison said. “But I have to
tell you, the firefighting coordination, considering the size of
this event, has been some of the
best I’ve seen. I’m very proud
of what’s happened.”
More than 25,000 firefighters have arrived from 41 states
plus Canada, Greece, Australia,
New Zealand and Mexico, he
said. So far, FEMA has obligated more than $154 million to
California to pay for firefighting, evacuations, shelter, traffic
control, equipment and supplies, Paulison said. Nearly 150
helicopters and more than
1,000 fire engines are involved.
About 200 injuries, including deep burns, have been
reported. The only firefighter
death so far has been attributed
to a heart attack, said Daniel
Berlant, a state fire department
spokesman.
A man whose body was
found Friday in a burned-out
house in rural Butte County
was identified as a 61-year-old
who didn’t heed evacuation
requests.
Three men and a teenager
trapped by flames in a Northern
California forest were rescued
on a closed road by fire crews
Wednesday and treated for
Wednesday.
BOOKED -- Joseph Lee
Allen, 27, of Laytonville, was
of arson of an inhabited structure by the Mendocino
County Sheriff’s Office at
5:15 p.m. Wednesday.
BOOKED -- Jonathan
Mark Linhart, 46, of
Garberville, was booked into
jail on suspicion of cultivation
of marijuana and possession
of marijuana for sale by the
Mendocino Major Crimes
Task Force at 9:37 p.m.
Wednesday.
BOOKED -- David Paul
Linhart, 50, of Redway, was
of possession of marijuana for
sale and cultivation of marijuana for sale by the
Mendocino Major Crimes
Task Force at 11:31 p.m.
Wednesday.

burns, authorities said.
Meanwhile,
controlled
burns designed to clear brush
from the hills skirting the Big
Sur coast were going well, officials said.
Mandatory
evacuation
orders remained in place
Thursday for about 20 homes
along the heavily wooded
ridges near Carmel Valley, said
Ruby Urueta, spokeswoman
with the Monterey County
Emergency Operations Center.
Another 200 houses were emptied in the nearby rural community of Cachagua because of
the fire danger.
The complex of fires in
Butte County is 80 percent contained after burning through 84
square miles and destroying
dozens of homes.
The number of casualties are
much lower than in previous
disasters in California, including the series of fires in
October 2003 that left 24 people dead and destroyed thousands of homes.

If your objectives are clearly defined in the year ahead,
the probabilities for achieving
success are better than usual.
Know where you want to go,
what you want to do and how
you plan to get there, and
your chances are excellent.
CANCER (June 21-July
22) -- A small difference
between you and your mate
could quickly get blown out
of proportion, so don’t deliberately bring up any old,
volatile issue that you’ve
been unable to resolve previously.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -You’re always willing to be
helpful to others, but if you’re
in the wrong mood, you could
make a big thing out of a
small favor. Minimize what it
would take, rather than exaggerating things.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22) -- Should you find yourself in the company of someone who has been having a
tough time financially, be
careful not to talk about all
the nice items that you’ve
acquired recently.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
-- Although things might not
come out exactly as you had
hoped, don’t make excuses.
No one expects you or anyone
else to win all the races.
Remember, you’re human.

Man is tired of aiding his stepson’s self-destructive habits
Dear Annie: My wife and I married 15
years ago. She has one son, “Evan.” Three
months after our wedding, Evan’s wife
divorced him. She’d been supporting him for
12 years while he drank and cheated on her.
This is when he started mooching off of us.
Evan lost his license due to six DWIs. He
drank himself out of his job and was headed
for Skid Row, so I let him live with us. I hired
a lawyer for him and, when he stopped drinking and driving, bought him a pickup.
Altogether it cost me nearly $5,000. He moved
out after three months and has had nothing but
menial jobs ever since, none of which he has
managed to keep for any length of time.
Two weeks ago, we learned Evan was
$1,000 behind on his rent and has to move.
The director of the local rescue mission says
he can stay there for free until he finds a job
and a place of his own. I am all for it. My wife,
however, demands I buy him a large camper
trailer. I say it is not our job to provide free

My stepson is in denial about his drinking
problem, and his mother has enabled him all

take advantage of us and I am tired of it. What
can I do? -- Stepdad
Dear Stepdad: Stick to your guns. Your
wife mistakenly believes she is helping her
son by bailing him out and allowing him to
avoid responsibility for his actions.
Counseling can help her see she is preventing
Evan from growing up, but she must be willing to go. In the meantime, both of you should

Dear Annie: I am a young woman who just
got out on her own into a new apartment. I did
not move far from my mother and grandmother. In fact, we live within 50 feet of each other.
The problem is that they are over here constantly. When I come home from work, they
are making dinner, sitting on my couch or
watching TV. On my days off, which I cherish,
Mom comes over early in the morning and
then asks to spend the night.
I love them, it’s just that I am about to
scream for some personal time. If I say something about it to my mother, she cries, yells or
gets very upset. She says she loves being in
my place. This situation is getting on my last
nerve. Any advice? -- Annoyed at Home
Dear Annoyed: Yes. Move. Your mother
and grandmother will continue to stop by
whenever they want because you feel too
guilty to set boundaries. You must allow your
mother to cry and throw a tantrum without
giving in. She will eventually adjust and back
off, but only if you insist on it and give it time
to work. Otherwise, you’d best look for another apartment in a different part of town.
Dear Annie: I absolutely loved your
answer to “Educator in Pennsylvania,” who
thinks bright kids should repeat a grade if they
don’t finish their homework. You hit the nail
on the head.
I went through this with my son all through
elementary school. The guidance counselor
actually told him to dumb down his language
so he wouldn’t put the other kids off. Can you
believe it?
Both my husband and I are educators, and
we cannot believe the state of education in the
country today. -- Another Pennsylvania
Educator
Dear Educator: Most teachers do an excellent job. Our problem is with those who refuse
to be flexible or who don’t recognize that
bright students can also have trouble with
class work. Children do not all learn the same
way. We admire those teachers who understand this and try to reach all of their students.

THE PETITION requests the decedent's will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate.
The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.
THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow
the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before
taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action). The independent administration authority will be granted unless
an interested person files an objection to the
petition and shows good cause why the court
should not grant the authority.
A HEARING on the petition will be held on 725-08 at 9:30 a.m. in Dept.: E, located at:
SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA,
COUNTY OF MENDOCINO, 100 N. State

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and
state your objections or file written objections
with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.
IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent
creditor of the deceased, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to the
personal representative appointed by the
court within four months from the date of first
issuance of letters as provided in Probate
Code section 9100. The time for filing claims
will not expire before four months from the
hearing date noticed above.
YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for
Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of
an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or
of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court
clerk.
