Firefighter claims harassment by Rickel
By BEN BROWN
The Daily Journal
A volunteer firefighter has filed a
harassment claim against Ukiah
Valley Fire District board member
Jim Rickel for statements made on
his television program Studio 3
Presents, according to a letter sent to
Rickel by UVFD attorney H. James
Lance.
The letter, dated Nov. 27, says
Rickel made sexual comments about
UKIAH VALLEY FIRE DISTRICT
a female volunteer firefighter during
his Oct. 23 broadcast. The woman
was watching the show, was upset by
it and believes the statements constitute harassment, according to the letter.
During the show, Rickel admitted
the information he disclosed was
based mostly on rumor.

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
New county
fees adopted
By KATIE MINTZ
The Daily Journal
By LAURA MCCUTCHEON
The Daily Journal
The Mendocino County Board of Supervisors unanimously adopted new fee schedules for the Department of Public HealthLaboratory, the Division of Solid Waste and
the Probation Department Tuesday.
The fee schedules will become effective
Jan. 1.
Changes to Department of Public HealthLaboratory fees were due to the expanded
capabilities of the lab, allowing for 35 new
tests, Interim Health and Human Services
Agency Director Ana Mahoney said.
Before, samples, such as ticks that needed
to be tested for Lyme Disease, were sent to
other laboratories.
“When we send them way out of county
for whatever reason in small batches or one
at a time, it costs the consumer even more.
So we decided to do as much as we could inhouse to keep the cost as low as we could,”
Mahoney said.
In addition, fees for two tests -- gonorrhea
and pertussis cultures -- were reduced from
$17 to $15.
Supervisor Kendall Smith commented on
the fees, saying she believed they were reasonable.
In the Probation Department, three new
fees for juvenile services were added.
Beginning in 2007, Probation will have
the ability to bill parents for the actual cost
of detaining a minor at the California
Division of Juvenile Justice.
According to a staff report for the item,
currently the state charges the county anywhere from $6.16 to $53.22 per day per
juvenile, depending on the offense. The
H
e might not look like
Santa Claus, but he acts
like him.
A little rain won’t stop Toys
For Tots coordinator Marvin
Fuller -- or full-time volunteer
Tracy Shannon -- from
bringing Christmas to some
2,500 less-fortunate children in
Mendocino County.
A tarp on rainy days and a
heater is all this pair (and other
volunteers) need when they
spend up to 10 hours a day,
seven days a week, outside of
Wal-Mart, one of the numerous
local toy collection sites.
As part of a nationwide
effort, Toys For Tots drop-off
boxes have been set up at
various locations in town -- 27
in the Ukiah area -- including
the California Highway Patrol,
Big Lots, Ukiah Valley Fire
District, Little Brown Bear and
Yokayo Bowl, so that people
can donate new unwrapped
toys to be distributed to needy
children in the community.
“Anyplace you see a poster
in the window, there will be a
box inside,” Fuller said
Thursday outside of Wal-Mart,
where the drop-off boxes are
outside under the tarp. There is
also a jar on the table for
monetary donations.
“When the cash gets up to
about $100 I go (inside WalMart) and buy toys. I see what
we are getting and what we are
not getting and I try to balance
it out,” he said, shortly after
tossing a new basketball and
football into the mix of dolls,
games, stuffed animals and so
forth.
A new bright yellow MX
Tonka Racer bicycle with
training wheels was likely the
donation-of-the-day on
Thursday.
“A gentleman was bringing
it back to the store for his son
’cause it was too small. I told
him I’d pay for it and he said,
‘Here, Merry Christmas’ and
gave it to me. Fuller said he
and Shannon “looked at each
other with our mouths open. I
told her ‘That is what
Christmas is all about.’”
While plenty of toys have
been coming in this year,
Fuller said they could use more
presents for teenagers and
infants.
“I have lots of (young) girls’
stuff. We could use more boys’
stuff in the 5- to 10-year-old
age group, but teenager and
infant things are what we need
most,” he said.
Asked why he has
participated in the effort for the

Toys for Tots Coordinator Marvin Fuller fills a box with donated toys outside Wal-Mart
on Thursday. Toys for Tots is a nationwide project that donates toys to less fortunate
children during the holiday season. Fuller and other volunteers will be at Wal-Mart and
other locations until Dec. 23, when the toys will be distributed.
12 years it’s been here, Fuller
said: “Have you ever seen the
sparkle in a kid’s eye when
they get the toy they want, or a
bicycle? That’s why I do it. ...
Toys For Tots will never die as
long as I’m alive.”
“My foster dad would kill
me if I ever quit,” Shannon
said, referring to Ralph
Williams, the former
coordinator of the local Toys
For Tots.
The Christmas spirit
apparently came over Ukiahan
Steve Cleaver Thursday,
because after he asked Fuller
what Toys For Tots was all
s

Chri
about, he walked inside the
store, bought two gifts, and
came outside and handed them
to him.
“I think every kid should
have something for Christmas,
especially the unfortunate kids.

SI-Ukiah’s Erika
Holzhauer and SIYS Vice
President Carole Hester were
in charge of the fun event,
which featured caroling,
humorous readings, gift
exchange and getting to know
each other. By all accounts
the event is something the
ladies would like to see
repeated next year.
Surprise guest at the luncheon was Mrs. Claus, whose
jolly old self brought cheer as
well as candy canes all
‘round.
Soroptimist is an
International Organization of
approximately 100,000 members in 120 countries. All
clubs participate internationally through International
Projects.
If you would like to be
part of contributing to our
community and world, have
fun while you’re doing it,
think about joining
Soroptimists International.

of Yokayo Sunrise President Sandy Dow, stand beside Mrs. Claus, who visited the
combined celebration of the two clubs. The luncheon featured local area women’s
club members celebrating the joy of being women as well as “doing good works”
-- collecting food for the Christmas Effort. In addition to the two Soroptimist’s
clubs, also present were members from American Association of University
Women, National Women’s Political Caucus, the Saturday Afternoon Club, and

Soroptimists is broken into
four Federations. This federation is Soroptimist

“The major service project
of SIA is our Women’s
Opportunity Awards. Each
year, we financially assist
women, heads of households
who are reentering the workforce. More than $800,000 is
disbursed through this program,” added Dow.
The Federation is broken
down into Regions.

Miss Mendocino County Scholarship Program awarded
prestigious honor by Miss California Organization
The Daily Journal
Verna Jacobs, Executive Director
for the Miss Mendocino County
Scholarship Program announced that
she and her Committee have been
awarded another very prestigious
honor by the Miss California
Organization’s Board of Directors.
The local program already highly
recognized in the Miss America
Organization because they are the
largest single local scholarship program in the Miss America system out
of 1400 locals across the United
States, due to their fundraising and
educational opportunities offered to
the Miss Mendocino County contestants were recently asked if they
would be willing to host an Open
Competition Program in Mendocino
County in conjunction with their
already outstanding program.
An Open Competition gives the
opportunity for young women in
California who have already held two
structured titles (like Miss Mendocino
County) to obtain another title and
return to the Miss California stage for
the opportunity to win the title of
Miss California and represent the state
at the Miss America level.
Only four other Opens are held in
the state, those being in Hollywood,
Gilroy, Los Angeles and Merced areas
and the state has been looking for a
host county in the north part of the
state.
Young women like Melissa Chaty, a
hometown girl who became 4th runner
up to Miss California last year as well
as any former title holders in the
northern counties and around the state
will be able to enter the local open
and if crowned the winners will compete again for the crown of Miss
California.
Jacobs and her committee took the
Miss California Organization’s offer
very seriously and did a lot of
research within the community to be
sure it would back the additional two
title holders who would be crowned
along with Miss Mendocino County
on Jan. 20, 2007. Getting nothing but
positive feedback and offers of corporate funding they decided to accept
the State’s offer and are looking forward to providing our County with the
possibility of a Miss California title,
top 10 contenders and a great mentoring opportunity for the 17-19 year old
contestants at the Miss Mendocino
County level.
Mendocino County has held two
Top 10 honors in the past 30 years
and this will provide our wonderfully
generous community with the reward
of watching an evening of extremely
talented, intelligent and successful
young women compete for the two
open titles which the Committee and
the State Organization have titled
Miss North Coast and Miss Northern
Counties. Generally speaking Open
contenders are in their last years of
college, or already graduated from a
college and ready to enter their
Masters Programs but still very much
in need of scholarship opportunities to
help them succeed with their goals.
The businesses of Mendocino
County have embraced the goals of
the local contenders and helped educate literally hundreds of young
women in the past 30 years and the
Miss Mendocino County Scholarship
Committee sincerely hopes this support will continue as they accept the
Miss California Organization’s offer
to help further educate young women
in northern California and beyond.
Noting that this community is highly
supportive of educational opportunities for young women Verna is confident that the rewards received by the
community will be even greater than
what we give to these young women
throughout California.
The public is invited to witness a
new beginning for the Miss
Mendocino County, Miss North Coast
and Miss Northern Counties
Scholarship Programs on Saturday,
Jan. 20, 2007 at the Ukiah High
School Cafetorium.
“We’ll be putting on a miniature
Miss California Program for our
hometown to enjoy and know that
everyone will thoroughly enjoy the
evening,” Jacob said. “Our scholarship priorities will always be to the
Miss Mendocino County contestants
who have reaped wonderful rewards
from our community over the past
years but the opportunity to train top
contenders for the state title and their
opportunity to win $10,000 at Miss
California as well as bring back home
some of our previous Miss Mendocino
County’s is a tremendous tribute to
our community and our committee.”
Education is paramount in the eyes of
so many contributors in Mendocino
County and the committee is dedicated to continuing the work of educating young women at every level possible.

Letters from our readers
Time to get going
To the Editor:
The Willits four lane bypass final
EIR/EIS has been released and is now
available at the local public library.
As a member of the Willits Bypass
Project Development Team representing
Brooktrails Township, I can report that
comments made for our local community
interests are reflected in the design features of this project as described in the
Environmental Impact Report/Statement.
Brooktrails Township is almost 10 percent of the county road system and also
recognizes the many residents served by
Sherwood Road. The potential population
of the Sherwood Road corridor is greater
than Willits proper, which is why a second
access road to the northern bypass interchange area is crucial to the circulation
and public safety of this area’s community.
Here in Brooktrails, the local county
road system was accepted by a past
Mendocino County Board of Supervisors
with nonstandard road construction for
width and slope, allowing the developer a
greater density of lots. This mistake was
addressed in hindsight by the local community when we proposed the Brooktrails
Specific Plan that allows for a significant
reduction in ultimate build out. Our
incoming supervisor was a member of the
1990’s Board of Supervisors that approved
and adopted the Brooktrails Specific Plan.
A downsized Brooktrails can be expected to build out over many decades, but
requires that the Willits Bypass be built to
the same standards required for any other
interregional highway to ensure public
safety. Under the Willits Bypass mitigation plan, many conservation easements
must be purchased to offset identified
impacts, representing an opportunity for
Willits to create appropriate agricultural
and green way preserves throughout the
valley. Gaining full control of Main Street,
from Route 20 North, represents the
opportunity to redesign downtown Willits
into a more people friendly place.
Driving from Ukiah on the evening of
November 16, as I approached the point
where 101 narrows from four to two lanes
South of Willits, the red lights and flares
marked yet another vehicle accident at this
spot. My destination was a public meeting
where some still called for a two-lane
bypass.
On November 7 the voters called for us
to move on at many levels, including
delivering such critical circulation projects
as those on the Highway 101 corridor
North of the Golden Gate. Bond issues
were approved in transportation, housing,
and conservation.
It’s time to move on to the great turning
of the Willits - Brooktrails area, to more
livable conditions, creating active and protected zones that mutually support greater
environmental health for all.

Money and power
still too strong
To the Editor:
When the King is mad the people suffer.
It is the job of the House to keep the polices
of a raveing madman from harming the
country. In this the House has failed. The
lure of money and the power of fear and
blackmail has overthrown reason.
Something reasonable must be done now
be for we are made to look like Iraq.

Time to take labor,
biz out of politics
Other opinions
From around the nation
The Cincinnati Enquirer
On instant messaging
OMG, those teens are
ROTFL at us grown-ups
who don’t know an IM from
an IMNSHO.
If you had trouble reading
that sentence, you’re probably firmly on the fuddyduddy side of the wide
“instant messaging gap”
between teens and adults.
The gap was documented
in an Associated PressAmerica Online survey,
which found that three of
four teenagers prefer communicating by IM rather
than “old-fashioned” e-mail,
while adults prefer e-mail in
roughly the same proportion.
...
Instant messaging —
done through software that
lets users fire short text messages back and forth
between computers or, more
recently, cell phones — has
spawned a growing culture
of quick responses, cryptic
abbreviations,
shorthand
emotions
and
nimble
thumbs. ...
Still, us old folks like
Jones can take a measure of
comfort in knowing that
some aspects of teens’ hightech communications culture
may not be so new after all.
For instance, the idea of
“smileys,” those facial
expressions created through
the use of punctuation marks
on the keyboard, was first
suggested by American
author Ambrose Bierce in
1912, BITD (back in the
day).
The Palm Beach
(Fla.) Post
On family values
At least teenage pregnancies aren’t still on the rise.
That’s not new, but it’s still
good news. It’s also the most
hopeful outlook on a startling report last month by the
National Center for Health
Statistics showing that nearly 40 percent of all American
births last year were to
unmarried parents.
The birth rate for 15- to
19-year-olds fell 2 percent in
2005, reaching the lowest
level in the 65 years that the
government has consistently
traced such statistics. But the
rate of babies born out-ofwedlock rose to its highest
level ever. And teenagers
weren’t driving that trend.
No, researchers say the
36.8 percent of births to a
single mother happened, in
part, because more and more
people delay marriage and
live together without marrying. And people such as Vice
President Dick Cheney’s lesbian daughter, Mary, by law
cannot marry their partners.
Count Mr. Cheney’s sixth
grandchild, due to be born in
the spring to Mary Cheney
and her partner of 15 years,
Heather Poe, among the outof-wedlock births to be
noted in next year’s annual
report.
In communities where
educated,
professional
women outnumber educated,
professional men, many
women in their 20s and 30s
choose childbirth even if a
spouse doesn’t complete the
household. Just because the
mother was not married, the
study points out, does not
mean that the father wasn’t
around. There were fewer
than 200,000 unmarriedcouple households with children in 1970. Last year,
there were more than 1.7
million.
Childbirth out of wedlock
does not carry the stigma it
once did, but the consequences can be harmful.
Studies show that children
raised by single parents are
more likely to drop out of
school, more likely to suffer
from domestic violence,
more likely to commit violent acts, more likely to
abuse drugs or alcohol, and
less likely to go to college.
States encourage such
odds by, among other things,
refusing
science-based,
comprehensive sex education and refusing to recognize same-sex couples. The
trend is bad enough without
politicians using ideology to
make it worse.

It's time at long last to hold both big labor unions
and big corporations to one of the almost unnoticed
commitments both sides made in their big initiative
battles of the last two years.
Back in 2005, when big business - personified by
the California Chamber of Commerce, the California
Manufacturers and Technology Assn. and other trade
groups - backed a so-called "paycheck protection"
measure, their hope was to diminish labor unions as a
political force by making it difficult for them to raise
money from their members.
The unions, especially the California Nurses Assn.,
vowed to seek payback a year later - last month - via
an initiative aiming to defang big business as a potent
political force. Their effort took the form of
Proposition 89, which proposed public financing of
campaigns and sought to cap donations to candidates
at $7,500 and contributions to political parties at
$15,000. It also would have limited donations to initiative campaigns to $10,000.
Either of these propositions would have caused big
change. This is a state where labor unions spent more
than $40 million to beat back some of last year's initiatives and one whose governor in just three years has
taken more than $180 million from oil companies,
developers, natural gas suppliers, chemical companies,
car dealers and others affected by state policy.
During both campaigns, each side correctly claimed
the other's proposal would tilt the political playing
field. The 2005 Proposition 75 would have forced
labor unions to get signatures every year from members before dunning them for political cash, while
allowing corporations to donate freely without ever
consulting their shareholders.
This year's Proposition 89 would have put the
clamps on business contributions, while leaving labor
unions pretty much free to do as they do now.
Either proposition alone would have tilted the political playing field to favor one side or the other in their
ongoing series of major disputes over everything from
workers compensation to minimum wage laws.
But in the heat of both campaign seasons, sponsors
of each measure insisted that if only someone would
place a proposition on the ballot to take both sides out,
they'd go for it in a minute. Fairness was all they were
after, they said, piously. Now that both sides have won,
and both sides have also lost, each defeating the other's
pet law and by similar margins, it's time to hold them
to their politically correct promises.
In a state where voter turnout is perpetually
depressed by the cynical perception that campaign
contributions drive state policy, how about taking both
sides out?
It's true, no one can deprive an individual of the
right to spend however much he or she pleases to further their own candidacy. That's why there were no
limits last spring on what Democratic hopeful Steve
Westly could spend on his run for governor, and no
limits in earlier years on what the likes of Norton
Simon, William Roth, Michael Huffington and Al
Checchi spent seeking either the governor's office or a
seat in the U.S. Senate.
So far, no completely self-funded billionaire candidate has ever managed to buy either office.
Schwarzenegger pledged to be such a candidate, and
won, but only after he reneged on his promise and set
fund-raising records. Billionaire Steve Poizner did win
the insurance commissioner's job this fall using $17
million that came mostly from his own pocket.
But putting aside rich folks and their Constitutional
right to spend as much as they like, it's time California
took the special interests out of politics.
How about a measure requiring both annual labor
union checkoffs for political donations and corporate
canvassing of shareholders for permission to make
donations and guidance on where to put them. This
measure should also limit what any type of business,
individual, association or labor group can give to candidates and what they can donate to political parties,
which now essentially funnel the money to candidates.
Such a law must also limit how much so-called
"independent expenditure" committees can help candidates, and how much anyone can donate to push or
oppose ballot propositions.
Now balance these takeaways with public financing, a fund of about $200 million per year - the sum
called for in the defeated Proposition 89. Make this
money available to candidates or causes that demonstrate significant public support via large numbers of
small $5 donations, and maybe elections could be
decided on the merits of candidates and initiatives,
rather than by cash on hand.
In a state where the campaign with the most money
wins more than 80 percent of the time, that might bring
politics back to the people and get them involved
again. Fail to do this, and voter turnout will continue
languishing below 50 percent of eligible voters indefinitely, with all the cynicism and distrust that brings.

An update on Sudden Oak Death
disease in Mendocino County
I wish I had better news to
report regarding the status of
sudden oak death disease in
Mendocino
County.
Unfortunately, the summer
aerial and ground surveillance
programs indicate that all of
the known disease sites have
expanded and new sites have
been discovered.
The disease has been
known to occur along the
Hwy 128 corridor for several
years on private lands and in
the
Malliard
Redwood
Reserve. In 2005 the disease,
Phytophthora ramorum, was
discovered on bay trees in
Hendy Woods State Park.
During the 2006 surveillance
the disease was confirmed
from properties along the
Ukiah -- Boonville Road and
along Inman Creek within the
Garcia River watershed.
Furthermore, the known outbreak east of The Sea Ranch
Tree Tips
By Greg Giusti
in northwestern Sonoma
County has greatly increased
in both acreage and virulence.
The disease, believed to be
an exotic introduction from
unknown origins, was first
discovered in Marin County
in 1995. Since then outbreaks
have been verified in the north
coast counties of Sonoma,
Lake, Mendocino, Humboldt
and Curry (Oregon). The
Genera, Phytophthora, is a
plant pathogen of world-wide
distribution
notoriously
known for causing the Irish
potato famine and the demise
of Port Orford cedar tree populations in Oregon.
Though the name implies
that all oaks may be affected
the number of species that are
lethally impacted is relatively
low. To date, only Coast Live
Oak, California Black Oak
and Tanoak are the species
considered most sensitive and
most likely to be killed by the
disease. However, over 100
wildland and horticultural
species are known to be
affected in differing degrees.
The species considered most
responsible for sustaining

Nonviolent Communication
Sessions set for Mondays

to 7 p.m. Mair Alight, a Certified International

Mair has offered NVC at San Quentin
Prison, weekly, for three years. Two of her students helped form an ad hoc committee to
organize a Peace Day this Saturday, at San
Quentin, put on by the inmates for the inmates,
with special attention to inclusive community
involving inmates from the diverse racial, cultural, religious and age groups at the prison.
The general format is a five minute meditation, followed by a check-in from each group
member, and then an agreement is reached as
to what they would like to practice or focus on
during their time together. The interactions are
lively and heartfelt, resulting in learning,
growth, shared understanding and inspiration.

Humane Society Shelter
trying to cope with too many
cats and kittens this year
Like shelters all across Northern California,
the Humane Society for Inland Mendocino
County is trying to cope with an over abundance of cats and kittens.
At the end of August the shelter had taken in
more cats and kittens than were taken in during
the entire year of 2005.
Cats, kittens, dogs and puppies are available
for adoption at the shelter, 9700 Uva Drive,
Redwood Valley from 2 to 6 p.m. Wednesday
through Friday, and from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Saturday and Sunday.
In addition to potential adopters, the shelter
is always seeking volunteers who are willing to
help socialize the cats and dogs and assist the
shelter in variety of other ways.
Food bank needs volunteers
for food distribution
The local food bank is in need of volunteers
to work during its distribution days on
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and
Saturday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. generally.
Anyone with spare time to donate to this worthy cause can call Marcy or Burton at 4628879 x 123. The food bank is also in need of a
volunteer driver.
Grateful Gleaners seeking
to strengthen community
The Grateful Gleaners are dedicated to promoting the growth, preservation, and sharing
of local, seasonal, organic food through communally harvesting fruits, vegetables, and nuts.
They harvest and distribute the excesses
offered by generous growers in the community.
A portion of the harvest is donated to certain
groups in the community. People who grow
fruits, vegetables or nuts and who have extra to
share, and people who would like to glean with
the Grateful Gleaners are welcomed to contact
Karen Gridley at 459-2101.
Foster grandparents
are making a difference
Many seniors in the community are going
back to school assisting in the classrooms with
children who have special needs. The volunteers provide kind, unhurried, one-on-one
attention to children who may otherwise be
lacking. The Foster Grandparents serve as an
important intergenerational link to students
who often do not have the luxury of having an
older adult in their lives.
This federal program, which began in 1965,
is administered by North Coast Opportunities.
Senior volunteers typically spend 20 hours a
week in the classroom and receive a tax-free
stipend and travel reimbursement, that does not
reduce any benefits the individual may be
receiving.
For more information, call 462-2596 ext.

ated a hostile work environment in violation of the law
and in violation of the intended purpose of the district’s
harassment policy.”
Rickel defended himself
from the claim, citing his First
Amendment rights and saying
that the comments made on
his television program were
made as a television commentator and not as a member of
the UVFD board of directors.
He argued that being a
member of the media gives
him a wider latitude in public
discussion that is not constrained by board membership.
“This is not a First
Amendment issue concerning
the news reporter’s privilege,”
Lance said in the letter. “It is
an issue concerning the duties
of board membership. Your
status as a television commentator is irrelevant. Regardless
of your employment, you
have a duty to adhere to board
policies.”
The letter also said Rickel’s
comments may have violated
Fees
addition of the fee will allow
the county to be reimbursed.
A $20-a-month juvenile
supervision fee and $25 juvenile drug court enrollment fee
were also added. According to
the staff report, the enrollment
fee will be used to purchase
bus passes, supplies, incentives and other items to assist
youth enrolled in drug court.
Finally, the Division of
Solid Waste increased its fees
for loose refuse at the transfer
station, raising rates 25 cents.
“What we try to do with
any of the fees is look at what
it actually costs in the county
and then try to recover that
appropriately,” Director of

Cleaver said.

the UVFD code of ethics,
which prohibits board members from engaging in “gossip, backbiting and other negative forms of interaction.”
Lance said Rickel’s use of
rumor as a basis for his statements on Studio 3 Presents
represents the sort of gossip
and negative interaction the
code of ethics was designed to
address.
As of Wednesday’s meeting, the board had not taken
any action against Rickel,
although it has the discretion
to do so.
In his letter, Lance said this
issue is confidential because it
is a personnel matter and
should be handled during a
closed session.
At Wednesday’s meeting,
Rickel asked that the subject
be discussed in an open session in January.
Rickel argued that, because
he is elected, he is not a public employee, and that even if
he were, he would have the
right to waive that privacy
protection.
The next meeting of the
UVFD board of directors is
scheduled for Jan. 10.

Dashiell said. Solid Waste is a
division of the Department of
Transportation.
“It mostly comes down to
increased fuel costs; it’s what
seems to be driving most of it,
because our haulers have
asked for adjustments,” he
explained.
Also, as a result of the
Construction and Demolition
Recycling
and
Reuse
Ordinance approved this summer, the Division of Solid
Waste imposed a new, nonrefundable fee of $240 for
every building permit subject
to the ordinance. The fee is
expected to pay for additional
staff time needed for administrative tasks due to the ordinance.

President Bush
weighing options
for Iraq war
WASHINGTON (AP) —
After three days of meetings
with
military
leaders,
President Bush is weighing
options for Iraq ranging from
a short-term surge in troops to
an infusion of dollars for
trainers.
Our Family Serving Your Family with Affordable Funeral Care
No changes will involve
removing troops before the
job is done, the president
vows.
Bush gathered advice from
former and current commanders, including those in Iraq,
as well as chiefs of the military services and other top
Pentagon leaders.
He even heard from outside
advisers who suggested he
remove Marine Gen. Peter
Pace as chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, according to
an official familiar with the
meeting who asked not to be
named because the discussions were private.
But Bush made it clear he
will not map out a new war
strategy until his new defense
secretary, Robert Gates, has
taken over and offered his
counsel. And that new plan, he
said, will not include giving
up.
4 civilians killed
in suicide attack
in S. Afghanistan
KANDAHAR, Afghanistan
(AP) — A suicide bomber
blew himself up Thursday on
a crowded street near a police
vehicle
in
southern
Afghanistan, killing four
civilians and wounding 25
people, officials said.
The suicide bomber, who
was on foot, struck near the
vehicle of highway police
commander Rozi Khan outside the city of Qalat, said
Zabul provincial police chief
Noor Mohammad Paktin.
It wasn’t immediately clear
if Khan was hurt.
Zabul governor Dilber Jan
Arman said four civilians
were killed and 23 civilians
and two policemen were
wounded. He said the bomb
hit a crowded street and
injured shopkeepers and

passers-by.
Abdul Satar, an official at
the Qalat hospital where the
victims were sent for treatment, reported four police
wounded.

FRIDAY, DEC. 15, 2006 – B-1
Christmas (and Hanukkah) is back
By GLENN LOVELL
San Jose Mercury News
The battle over Christmas
in major retail stores across
America was fought, and
Christmas has won - at least
for now.
After last year’s store boycotts launched by conservative religious groups angered
by the secularization of the
holidays, the number of
national chains that are now
using Christmas, Hanukkah
and Kwanzaa in their ads and
store displays, as well as on
Web sites, has grown significantly.
Among the twinkly
wreaths and decorations at
Macy’s, for example, are
mannequins backed by the
traditional “Merry Christmas”
greeting.
Wal-Mart has changed its
“Holiday Shop” to
“Christmas Shop” and once
again allows it employees to
welcome customers with
“Merry Christmas” and what
it calls “other glad tidings.”
Wal-Mart’s online shoppers
have Christmas, Hanukkah
and Kwanzaa alternatives.
Select Kwanzaa and “The
Rugrats’ First Kwanzaa” and
other books about the
African-American holiday
appear.
After years of grumbling,
the Catholic League and
American Family Association
took to the trenches last
Christmas, calling for a boycott of Wal-Mart for replacing “Merry Christmas” with
“Happy Holidays.” Fox
News’ commentator Bill
O’Reilly then weighed in,
accusing retailers of an “antiChristian bias” at
Christmastime.
There was even a book
tabulating the drift toward
what has been called a
“neutered” holiday season “The War on Christmas” by
Fox anchor John Gibson.
“We’ve listened to our customers, and they have said
they want to see and hear
more `Merry Christmas’ within our stores,” said Jami
Arms, a Wal-Mart spokeswoman. “So this year we’ve
increased the number of items
that say `Christmas’ instead
of `holiday’ by 60 percent.”
And some shoppers at both
ends of the political spectrum
are not only applauding the
change, they’re picking stores
based on it.
“I definitely plan to shop
where Christmas and
Hanukkah are recognized,”
said Esther Snively of San
Jose. “And I’ll avoid stores
that don’t have the courage to
admit what the holidays are
all about.”
The use of the all-inclusive
“Happy Holidays” doesn’t
fool anyone, said Natalie
Krumm, also of San Jose.
“Can we please stop trying to
apologize for wanting to celebrate a traditionally Christian
holiday?”
These kinds of sentiments
are a backlash against the
painstaking political correctness of the last few years,
some observers believe.
“Last year things seemed
to come to head with a concerted conservative counterattack against political correctness,” said Michael Medved,
a nationally syndicated radio
talk-show host based in
Seattle. “People are now
coming up to me and saying,
unapologetically, `Merry
Christmas.’ And though I’m
Jewish, I don’t feel offended
or hurt.
“That big stores are much
more willing to recognize the
specific holidays is another
indication that the overwhelming majority of
Americans prefer the comfort
and openness of the
Christmas season.”
Before rushing to congratulate ourselves on being more
tolerant shoppers in one of
the most culturally diverse
markets in America, we
should remember that showering customers with “Merry
Christmas!” just makes good
business sense, said Scott
Krugman of the National
Retail Federation in
Washington, D.C. “It’s just an
example of retailers listening
to their customers and adapting their business model to
what customers want,”
Krugman added.
Macy’s bid its customers a
Very Merry Christmas last
year and helped its parent
company, Federated
Department Stores, Inc. to
reported earnings of $699
million in the quarter ending
Jan. 28. So now Wal-Mart,
Target, Kmart and Walgreens
are following suit by being
more upfront with traditional
holiday greetings. Best Buy,
Crate & Barrel, The Gap and
Starbucks (where “Christmas
Blend” becomes “Holiday
Blend” in some locations) are
sticking with all-purpose
greetings. “Nowhere in our
stores does it call out
Christmas,” said regional
Starbucks spokeswoman
Amanda Dierdorff. “We’re
making sure we’re sensitive
to all customers.”
There are still skirmish’s in
the battle over Christmas.
The American Family
Association Web site has
started an e-mail campaign
against what it calls Best
Buys’ “anti-Christmas policy.”
Best Buy spokeswoman
Dawn Bryant said in a statement, “We are going to continue to use the term holiday
because there are several holidays throughout that time
period, and we certainly need
to be respectful of all of
them.”
Macy’s, in contrast, seems
positively quaint in its use of
holiday-specific signage,
report retail experts.
“Because Macy’s stuck
with Christmas last year and
had a good year, and there
was consumer push-back on
not using `Merry Christmas,’
retailers have taken notice,”
said Doug Hope, founder of
GlobalShop, which hosts an
annual store-design-and-mar-
J.L. Sousa/Vallejo Times-Herald
In some places, “Merry Christmas” still makes officials jittery. John Woods of Benicia shows off the sign that
the city of Benicia will not allow him to put on public property which reads "Merry Christmas." Benicia has
signs which read "Happy Holidays" and Woods, who has been Santa Claus in the city's Christmas parade the
last half dozen years, want the city to allow him to put up his sign as well. After being denied permission to
place the sign he put the word "Denied" over his sign.
keting exposition. “It’s not
politically incorrect to talk to
the over 80 percent of your
market that identifies itself as
a Christian of some sort.”
At GlobalShop’s Orlando
trade show in March, the
stalls selling artificial
Christmas trees and other holiday-specific decorations
were “absolutely flooded
with orders” and participating
advertisers said they had been
“directed to push Christmas,”
said Hope. “It was obvious
that there was quite a bit
more activity geared toward
traditional Christmas than
there had been in, oh, 9 or 10
years.”
Still, some are not so sure
that retailers are celebrating
the holidays for the right reason.
“To be quite frank, if most
major retail chains were really interested in celebrating
the spirit of Christmas, they’d
improve the conditions of
their workers, monitor where
their products are made, and
cut way back on all the crap
they sell,” said Tom
Beaudoin, a Catholic theologian at Santa Clara University
and the author of
“Consuming Faith:
Integrating Who We Are with
What We Buy.”
“What businesses do about
their marketing language is, I
think, only relevant if it’s
accompanied by a change in
core values, a greater respect
for religious diversity in an
increasingly globalized
world.”

BIRTHDAYS:

ASTROGRAPH
By Bernice Bede Osol
Saturday, Dec. 16, 2006
Many successes are in the
offing for you, owing more
to the valuable lessons
you’ve learned in the past
than to simply sheer luck.
You’ll know how to use that
knowledge in ways that’ll
benefit you greatly.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.
23-Dec. 21) -- You’re in for
a pleasant relief when you
discover that something
about which you’ve been
worried was based on
groundless fears. It’s a lesson you’ll not soon forget.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19) -- On the surface,
something that’s presented
to you might appear to have
only
marginal
value.
However, upon involvement, you’ll quickly discover how opportune it really is
for you.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 19) -- The way to instill
loyalty from others must
come from first exhibiting
these qualities in yourself.
Stand by your friends and,
when you find yourself in
need, they’ll come through
for you.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March
20) -- There could have been
a few bumps that occurred in
the past from time to time,
but your productivity should
more than make up for them.
You’re destined for an
excellent day.
ARIES (March 21-April
19) -- If you’re getting
together for the purpose of
requesting a favor from
someone, meet at a place
Anderson (1888-1959), playwright; J. Paul
Getty (1892-1976), oil tycoon/philanthropist;
Tim Conway (1933-), actor/comedian, is 73;
Dave Clark (1942-), musician, is 64; Don
Johnson (1949-), actor, is 57; Adam Brody
(1979-), actor, is 27a.
TODAY’S SPORTS: In 1982, Bill Parcells
became the 12th coach of the NFL’s New York
with a social atmosphere
where both of you will feel
relaxed and at ease.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20) -- Matters that could be
beneficial materially should
be given your full attention.
You’re more apt to find conditions to your liking now.
GEMINI (May 21-June
20) -- If you have a serious
matter to discuss with another, keep the small talk out of
the conversation. Irrelevant
topics could take you far
from what needs to be
hashed out to settle things.
CANCER (June 21-July
22) -- Temporarily set aside
frivolous pursuits, especially if things are heating up to
where you can make some
extra bucks. Play only after
Giants.
TODAY’S QUOTE: “The employer generally gets the employees he deserves.” -- J. Paul
Getty
TODAY’S FACT: Canada’s national animal is the beaver.
TODAY’S MOON: Between last quarter
(Dec. 12) and new moon (Dec. 20).
you’ve had a chance to pick
up your share of the dough.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - Should you be making
some plans with friends to
figure out what and where
you want to go, be sure to
offer some input. Your best
asset is your ability as an
effective organizer.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22) -- Doing something for
self-aggrandizement is not
likely to be anything that
would motivate you, but
when it comes to helping
your family or friends,
you’ll pull out all the stops.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.
23) -- Focus on each of the
basic rudiments, and the
progress on a new endeavor
you’re tackling will be dramatically increased. It’ll all
come together when you
concentrate on essentials.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
22) -- Having clear objectives is imperative when it
comes to ways for adding to
your resources. Once you
realize exactly what it is you
want, you’ll diagram what
you have to do to get it.
Know where to look for
romance, and you’ll find it.

CHALLENGER
by Robert Barnett
DIRECTIONS:
A. Using each "Chaos Grid" number with its
letter one time, arrange the numbers with
their letters for the "Order Grid" so each
vertical column, horizontal row, and two

FINITE
Jumbles: NIPPY
Answer: Why the basketball team didn’t have a ghost
of a chance — NO “SPIRIT”
Stop flip-flopping and stick with the man you married
Dear Annie: Two years ago, I filed for
divorce after 18 years of marriage. I had fallen
in love with my co-worker, “Hal,” and thought
I would be happier. The divorce was a shock to
my whole family. It devastated my husband
and children, who chose to live with my ex.
After a short time, I realized I had made a
terrible mistake, but to save face, I married Hal
anyway. I didn’t want to be the laughingstock
of the town or hear my family say what a fool
I had been.
The problem is, I still have feelings for my
ex. I look forward to the time we are together
because of the kids. I have even started making
excuses to call him or be alone with him to discuss the kids. We are often intimate on those
occasions.
Even though Hal is a good person, I don’t
love him like I do my ex. However, before I
could discuss my true feelings with Hal, we
found out he had cancer. Although the cancer
was treated and he is OK, I don’t feel I can
ANNIE’S MAILBOX
By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
leave him now. My ex has told me that he still
loves me, but because he knows I won’t leave
Hal, he says we should stop being with each
other.
I feel guilty not loving Hal more, but I want
to be back with my ex. I’m afraid if I wait, my
ex will find someone else. What do I do? -Wishing I Never Had an Office Romance
Dear Wishing: Don’t compound your original mistake by making another. You have no
guarantee that your ex wants you back or
would ever trust you again. You are now married to Hal, and he needs you. You owe it to
him and to yourself to give it your all. Please
get some counseling, with or without Hal, and
see if you can improve your marriage and be a
totally committed partner -- something that
seems to be a problem for you.
Dear Annie: I’m 34 and eight years sober. I
am of a nontraditional faith, and derive much
comfort and serenity from it. By nontraditional, I mean it’s not one of the well-known organized religions. Most people are not very
understanding about my choice, so whenever
possible, I talk in general terms about my spirituality. Even in my recovery group, I do not
share information about my religious beliefs.
The problem is my older sister, “Serena,”
who is out to reform our family and bring us all
to her faith. I love my sister, but am fed up with
the preaching and am ready to break off the
relationship. I’ve tried to let Serena know that
I have faith and spirituality, but it’s not enough
for her. She wants me to be with her in heaven
when she dies.
I’ve listened with an open mind. I’ve studied
her religion and chosen my own path. Please
advise. -- Just Another Alcoholic
Dear Another: Serena is determined to
“save” you and will not be deterred. When she
preaches, say, “Sorry, I’m not interested.” If
she persists, learn to turn a deaf ear, or get up
and walk away.
Dear Annie: I could have written the letter
from “Wife Without a Motorcycle,” whose
husband attended a bike rally where there were
semi-naked women. I was disappointed when
you said, “The women are simply displaying
the goods in a way everyone will notice.” Such
behavior borders on public nudity, which is
against the law. Some of the pictures my husband brought home were downright nasty.
These women should not be allowed to work in
a public place with basically no clothes on.
Accompany him next time? There won’t be
a next time. -- Some Things Just Aren’t Right
Dear Some Things: We aren’t condoning
such behavior, we are simply saying it exists in
such venues, so people shouldn’t be surprised.
Plan accordingly.
Happy Chanukah to all our Jewish readers.

Hello I am Kate. I am
a 1 year old female
and have been at the
shelter since Aug
18th! Haven’t I
served enough time
yet? I really would
like to go home for
the holidays. I am a
large dog with a heart
to match. Please
come and meet me
at 298 Plant Rd. or
call Sage at
467-6453.
I was walking around
on Tomki Rd. in Willits, on 12/12, got a
little tired, so I stopped by and rested on
some people’s porch.
They got home and
their dog said “No
way, he has to go!”
So now I am resting
in the Ukiah shelter.
It is hard to rest here
as their are 69 other
lost dogs all barking
and trying to locate
their owners or a new
family to live with.
Wow, there are Golden Retrievers, puppies, big dogs, small
dogs, you name it, it
is here! I am an adult
Boxer mix, male. If
you have lost a dog
or want to adopt a
dog or cat, this is the
place to come and
look, 298 Plant Rd. or
call Sage at
467-6453.
