Man who says he killed 48 claims

Tuesday: Plenty

A man already in a
Colorado prison for murder-
ing a child has confessed to
killing two people in 1986 on
a North Coast beach -- a double homicide that adds to the
dozens of others he’s also
confessed to having killed.
Robert Charles Browne

‘Lady in the
Water’ a film
worth seeing
Many people today wonder about and try
to explore the idea of life on other planets.
What if other life is on this planet and was
once a life form we communicated with, but
over time we’ve lost touch with it?
“Lady in the Water,” directed by M. Night
Shyamalan and starring Paul Giamatti
(“Cinderella Man”), Bryce Dallas Howard
(“The Village”) and M. Night Shyamalan is
a film of sci-fi, mystery and adventure.
Cleveland Heep (Giamatti) is a lonely and
sad man. He works at the apartment complex
called The Cove as the apartment superintendent.
One night Cleveland starts to have problems with someone swimming in the pool
there after the allowed hour of 7 p.m.
The man who often comes to manage the
pool finds the skimmer is getting all kinds of
hair in it when the day before it was clean.
That night, Cleveland sees something
moving in the water and walks out of his
small home to investigate.
He finds a girl (Howard) who has come
from the pool and seems to not be from this

UHS library
gets $154,219
literacy grant
By LAURA MCCUTCHEON
The Daily Journal
Ukiah High School Librarian Charlene
Holbrook is finally getting what she asked
for: a library suitable for the students using
it.
The Ukiah Unified School District has
been awarded a $154,219 Improving
Literacy Through School Libraries program
grant to improve students’ reading achievement.
Ukiah Unified is one of 78 school districts
across the country to receive the grant -which makes Holbrook extremely happy.
“To get this grant is a wonderful honor.
It’s wonderful for our school and now we get
to develop an exemplary library,” she said,
noting, “at least $100,000” was needed to
“pull our library up to state standards.”
While she isn’t sure yet when the money
will come in since she just got the news,
Holbrook has a list of things it will be used
for. With the assistance of grant writer Amy
Wachpress, it was Holbrook who applied for
Vehicles hit scrap heap
By BEN BROWN
The Daily Journal
Fewer people than
expected have been taking
advantage of the “Junk
Your Jalopy” program
organized Friday and
Saturday by Mendocino
County Planning and
Building.
The program allowed
people to discard vehicles
they no longer wanted
without the need of a pink
slip or a registration fee.
Vehicles were being
processed at Ukiah Auto
Dismantlers on Friday and
Saturday.
“This is the slowest it
has ever been,” said Gail
Harrie, a code enforcement officer at Planning
and Building.
A rise in the price of
scrap metal in recent years
may be to blame for the
low turnout as some car
owners take their junker
vehicles to scrap dealers to
pick up some extra money,
Harrie said.
The program processed
about 40 vehicles on
Friday and expected to
process as many as 100
more on Saturday, Harrie
said.
Even though there were
fewer
vehicles
than
expected, many still took
advantage of the opportunity. Don Knight brought
in a 1967 Volkswagen
Beetle that he said he
bought years ago from a
body shop.
“It was going to be a
project car, but it sat too
long,” Knight said.
The vehicle was one
example of the kind of
cars the program gets, a
rusted out hulk with no
tires or interior and all of
the windows missing.
Knight said if the program
were not in place, the
Beetle would likely have
stayed in his yard.

belonged to his employer,
who had been passing the

broke.
“It’s been parked, collecting dust, for two
years,” Arreguin said.
“Nobody wants it, nobody
wants to fix it.”
Arreguin said he also
took advantage of the program in 2003 to get rid of
some junker cars that had
been sitting in his yard.
Other people drove
working cars to the yard to
dispose of them. Arpuvo

Mercury Capri. He said he

cles and he and his wife
had decided it was time to
start cutting back on cars
they owned.
“I think it was time to
get rid of this car; it was
smoking,” Ortiz said.
Mike Britton drove up
in a Subaru Imprezza that
was given to him by his
cousin. The vehicle ran
fine though it had some
extensive body damage on
the left side.
“I couldn’t get it
smogged,” Britton said

Willits solar grant from PUC may more than double
State revises calculation methods
By CLAUDIA REED
The Willits News
WILLITS – The City of Willits is in line for
up to $680,000 in rebates for solar power
installations at the water purification plant.
That’s more than double the amount the city
expected from the Public Utility Commission’s
(PUC’s) California Solar Initiative.
The increase has to do with flip-flops in the
PUC’s calculation methods.
In February, the PUC based its rebates on
total energy usage for a given project. The city
proposed a 200 KW solar installation at the
reservoir and a 45 KW installation at the purification plant, enough to reduce the energy bill
for drinking water purification to zero and produce a rebate of $680,000.
Before the application process was complete, the PUC changed the ground rules, basing project rebates on peak energy demand,
instead. Because the plant operates steadily
without peak demands the city’s rebate was
calculated to be about $300,000.
Because the rebate is essential to covering
project costs, the city revised its plans, settling
for a 100 KW installation at the reservoir and a
35 KW installation at the plant.
“Just this week (the PUC) changed the
method of calculation (back) from peak to
overall usage,” said Councilman Ron
Orenstein, who chairs the city’s committee on
sustainable energy. “We have until the latter
part of August to revise our application.”
The revision would restate the original
$680,000 request and the related 245 KW
installation.
According to energy consultant Keith
Rutledge, there is little doubt the revised application will be successful. He said requests will
be honored in the order in which the original
applications were received. The City of
Willits’ documents were mailed as soon as the
February application period began.
“The city was right there when the application process opened,” said Rutledge, who
serves on the board of the Renewable Energy
Development Institute and provides pro-bono
consultation to the city.
Money for the increases, Rutledge said, may
cause those at the bottom of the waiting list to
wait a little longer to participate in the PUC’s
10-year program. It may also reduce allocaSee SOLAR, Page A-13

The world briefly
Israeli troops pull back from Lebanese
border town; woman, 5 children killed
BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) — Israeli troops pulled back from a
border town Saturday after a week of heavy fighting with
Hezbollah guerrillas, and warplanes killed a woman and her
five children in a strike that leveled their home. Secretary of
State Condoleezza Rice returned to the Middle East to push a
refined U.S. peace plan.
Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah marked Rice’s
arrival with a threat to fire rockets even deeper into Israel.
Appearing on Hezbollah television, Nasrallah claimed victory,
saying Israel had failed to make a “single military achievement”
during its 18-day offensive.
Still, Rice said she was encouraged by a tentative Hezbollah
commitment to allow international troops into southern
Lebanon and eventually disarm. She met with Israeli Prime
Minister Ehud Olmert in Jerusalem Saturday evening, and was
expected to stop in Lebanon though no visit was announced.
She said compromises will be needed from everyone.
“These are really hard and emotional decisions for both
sides, under extreme pressure in a difficult set of circumstances,” Rice said. “And so I expect the discussions to be difficult but there will have to be give-and-take.”
More than 60 percent of U.S. now has
abnormally dry or drought conditions
STEELE, N.D. (AP) — Fields of wheat, durum and barley in
the Dakotas this dry summer will never end up as pasta, bread
or beer. What is left of the stifled crops has been salvaged to
feed livestock struggling on pastures where hot winds blow
clouds of dirt from dried-out ponds.
Some ranchers have been forced to sell their entire herds, and
others are either moving their cattle to greener pastures or buy-

ing more already-costly feed. Hundreds of acres of grasslands
have been blackened by fires sparked by lightning or farm
equipment.
“These 100-degree days for weeks steady have been burning
everything up,” said Steele Mayor Walter Johnson, who added
that he’d prefer 2 feet of snow over this weather.
Farm ponds and other small bodies of water have dried out
from the heat, leaving the residual alkali dust to be whipped up
by the wind. The blowing, dirt-and-salt mixture is a phenomenon that hasn’t been seen in south central North Dakota since
the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, Johnson said.
More than 60 percent of the United States now has abnormally dry or drought conditions, stretching from Georgia to
Arizona and across the north through the Dakotas, Minnesota,
Montana and Wisconsin, said Mark Svoboda, a climatologist
for the National Drought Mitigation Center at the University of
Nebraska at Lincoln.
U.S. command confirms it will move
3,700 troops to Baghdad to quell violence
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) — The U.S. command announced
Saturday that it was sending 3,700 troops to Baghdad to try to
quell the sectarian violence sweeping the capital, and a U.S.
official said more American soldiers would follow as the military gears up to take the streets from gunmen.
The 172nd Stryker Brigade, which had been due to return
home after a year in Iraq, will bring quick-moving, lightarmored vehicles to patrol this sprawling city of 6 million people, hoping security forces respond faster to the tit-for-tat
killings by Shiite militias and Sunni Arab insurgents.
The U.S. military hopes more armor will intimidate gunmen,

OUNTY COMES UP $4 MILLION SHORT.
Mendocino County supervisors finished six days
of public budget hearings yesterday with few cuts,
a whopping deficit, and plans for more effective
sessions next August.
The figures add up to real problems for the board. At their
present rate of income and spending, they will come $4
million short by this time next year. That loss can be offset by
$1.8 million in carryover from this year, and may be
compounded by additional federal and state cuts as their
budgets come through.
But any way you add it up, the county is looking at a
deficit that can only be avoided by substantial cuts in staff and
services.
The main items yesterday included the sheriff’s department
and a second look at Mendocino Community Hospital.
Sheriff Tom Jondahl, director of the county’s third largest
department, got most of the $2,219,095 he requested. “There’s
a clear commitment from the board to law enforcement,” he
said.

ALTERED STATES? YOU MAY NOT GO APE, BUT
UKIAH NOW OFFERS THE BENEFITS OF SENSORY
ISOLATION. You’ve seen it in the film “Altered States,” but
now you can experience it “right here in River City,” because
a sensory isolation tank has come to town.
Steve Scully, coordinator of the Mendocino Alcohol
Project, and a group of Ukiah residents, joined together last
winter to form the “Sensory Isolation Cooperative” and
acquire a tank. After months of time and a healthy output of
energy, the tank is in operation at last.
Imagine floating on a quiet sea on a buoyant surface. There
is no light and no outside noise. At last a chance to be relaxed.
The latest thing to hit the public since hot tubs, the tank is a
light-tight box filled with Epsom Salts-laden water. The
chamber is designed to reduce “sensory input” and provide
profound relaxation for the user.
“I had a sensation of moving backwards through space. It
felt incredible,” said Farida Krauss, who was one of the first
to make a test dunk.
“You’re going to be a natural – a real tanker,” Scully told
her.
Meanwhile, Susan Scully claimed she felt like she was in a
rocket ship while in the tank.
“You feel like you are in a vast space. I found it helpful
with my study of meditation. It helped me separate-out that
stream of chatter in my mind,” she said.
The isolation tank achieved notoriety in the recent film
“Altered States” when a scientist anxious to explore his
consciousness jumps into the tank while on a drug trip. The
scientist goes somewhat crazy, becomes an ape-man and takes
off to the city zoo where he devours a live goat.
But in moderation, isolation tanks are nothing like the
movies, of course.
Instead, Krauss describes the isolation tank as “the ultimate
in waterbeds.”

road the caravan will be led by Walker Tilley of the Masonite
Corporation and Claude Falconer, president of the Ukiah
Chamber of Commerce, in a new Mercedes Benz.
The caravan will tour Noyo Harbor, Fort Bragg and Willits,
returning to Ukiah Saturday afternoon. That evening the
members will be guests at a cocktail party, dinner and dancing
at Carl Purdy hall.
The caravan will leave Ukiah Sunday morning following
brunch.

PLANNING COMMISSION ACCEPTS REDWOOD
VALLEY ZONE PROPOSAL. HEARINGS PLANNED BY
PROPERTY OWNERS INCLUDED IN DISTRICT. The
Mendocino county planning commission yesterday accepted a
petition asking for rezoning of 18 square miles of Redwood
Valley and authorized the board’s planning consultant and
county engineer to assist the residents in developing zoning
plans. Final approval cannot be made until after at least one
public hearing by the commission and another by the
supervisors.
The petition was presented to the commission last month,
but no action was taken because of the lack of information.
The petition asks rezoning from an A-1 district to a
residential, agricultural district.

Paul W. Poulos, Sr., then-chairman of the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors, delivers welcoming remarks to dignitaries assembled on the morning of July 24, 1956, to celebrate the
beginning of the construction of Coyote Dam, which created Lake Mendocino. Poulos’ granddaughter, Paige Poulos, wrote that her grandfather “was the Mendocino County supervisor who
championed the cause – in fact it took so long to fill that the promised lake was called Poulos’
Pond before it filled to become the playland and agricultural water source it is today. His great
regret was that the salmon ladder that was originally included in the plans was cut for shortsighted (in his opinion) budgetary reasons. He bemoaned that compromise for the remainder of
his life.”

from General Cassidy, Colonel John A. Graf, district
engineer for the Army Engineers, Alan S. Hart of the
state division of highways and Guy F. Atkinson, contractor for the project.
Henry K. Mauldin of the north coast natural
resources committee of the state chamber of commerce
read a telegram from Mayor George Christopher of San
Francisco congratulating this area on the historic occasion.
A skyrocket explosion over the valley stimulated
commencement of work on the project.
The ceremonies were continued at noon with a
chicken barbecue in the somewhat cooler atmosphere
of the Ukiah municipal park.
General Cassidy said this morning that the Coyote
Valley project is “the first multiple-purpose reservoir to
be constructed in the north coast country of California.”
“There is strong reason to believe that this coast
country, which runs up to Oregon and which is the
source area of about 40 percent of California’s water,
will ultimately have many water control structures and
dams.”
Colonel Graf told the assemblage that the project
“will not set any national or even state records for
length, height, volume, capacity or cost,” but it is, he
said, “the most important single public works project in
the history of the San Francisco District (of the Army
Engineers), to my knowledge, the largest single public
works project in Sonoma and Mendocino counties and
the most important flood control project under construction in Northern California today.”
Other public officials on hand for the ceremonies
were:
State Senator James E. Busch; State Senator A. W.
Way; State Assemblyman Frank Belotti; State
Assemblyman Richard McCollister; John Watson,
regional director State Chamber of Commerce; W. E.
Stewart, director natural resources department, State
Chamber of Commerce.
Victor Anderson, Chairman, Sonoma County board
of supervisors; Paul Poulos, chairman, Mendocino
County board of supervisors; Joseph Maddux (district
attorney, Sonoma County); Merle Orchard, district
attorney, Mendocino County; Charles McGoldrick,
superior court judge, Sonoma County.
Herbert Cochrane, chairman, board of trustees,
Mendocino county Russian River Flood Control and
Water Conservation District; Claude Falconer, president, Ukiah Chamber of Commerce; E. A. Brown, district council of carpenters; and H. R. Talbert, representative, carpenters Local 2134.

Congress focuses on pocketbook issues as campaigns near
By MARY DALRYMPLE
AP Tax Writer
WASHINGTON — Congress is
spending its last working days before a
long summer break by attending to
pocketbook issues, with votes to
increase the minimum wage, cut estate
taxes and shore up pensions.
The hope is to grab voters’ attention
as lawmakers set out campaigning
though August, leading to a fall election with control of Congress at stake.
Part of that campaigning is likely to
focus on the bill linking the fates of the
minimum wage increase and the estate
tax reductions. The GOP-controlled
House tied the minimum wage and
estate tax measures, leading opponents
to protest that Republicans had passed
a minimum wage increase that is
doomed to fail in the Senate.
Whether any of the initiatives
becomes more than fodder for speeches depends on the Senate, still at work
for an extra week after the House left
for their five-week break through
Labor Day.
A bill passed by the House that
overhauls pension laws stands the best
chance of getting to President Bush.
Supporters said the measure would
strengthen plans that cover 44 million
people and they expect the Senate to
pass it this coming week.
In the works for years, the legislation is particularly urgent for several
airlines that have threatened to terminate their pension plans. The bill gives
these carriers special repayment terms.
In addition, employers that have
fallen behind in their defined-benefit
pension payments would have to catch
up within seven years. The bill also
would close loopholes that have
allowed companies to underfund their
plans by an estimated $450 billion.
Less certain of passing is a separate
bill that combines an increase in the
federal minimum wage with a tax cut
on multimillion-dollar estates.
“Whether or not those votes are
there, I don’t think the senators know
until they put it on the floor,” said Rep.
Jeff Flake, R-Ariz.
The House finished up its work
early Saturday by passing the measure
on pensions as well as the bill including the minimum wage increase and
estate tax cuts.
GOP House leaders assembled the
package in an effort to deprive
Democrats of a major campaign issue
— Congress last voted a minimum
wage increase in 1996 — while also
advancing a chief Republican priority
of cutting the estate tax, which Senate
Democrats have bottled up.
For Democratic senators, the bill
offers the uneasy choice of accepting
an estate tax cut or rejecting a minimum wage increase. Senate
Democratic leader Harry Reid of
Nevada said the combination makes
the estate tax no more acceptable and
he pledged to kill it.
“If the Republicans were serious
about raising the minimum wage for
the first time in nearly 10 years and
extending tax relief for working
Americans, they would not hold them
hostage in their effort to give the
wealthiest Americans hundreds of billions more in additional tax giveaways,” he said.
The bill would:
—increase the minimum wage from
$5.15 to $7.25 an hour, phased in over
three years.
—lower estate taxes by exempting
$5 million of an individual’s estate,
and $10 million of a couple’s, from
estate taxes by 2015.
—tax estates worth up to $25 million at capital gains rates, currently 15
percent and scheduled to rise to 20 percent.
—trim rates on the remainder of
larger estates to 30 percent by 2015.
As an added inducement, the $310
billion worth of tax reductions revives
some expired cuts that are popular with
politicians and the public, including
deductions for sales taxes and college
tuition.
The pension bill ran into less opposition, though some Democrats complained it did too little to prevent
employers from withdrawing their
pension plans and favored some industries at the expense of others.
For example, Northwest Airlines
Corp. and Delta Air Lines, which have
frozen their pension plans, would get
an extra 10 years to meet pension
obligations.
American
and
Continental, the only two major carriers with active defined benefit plans,
would get an additional three years.
Lawmakers fear the airlines could
otherwise abandon their plans and add
billions to the deficit of the agency that
takes over benefit payments for terminated plans, ultimately burdening taxpayers. The bill would give legal certainty to cash balance plans created in
future years.
House passes pension reform bill
By JIM ABRAMS
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON — The House approved an ambitious overhaul of the nation’s pension laws late
Friday, hoping to prolong the traditional employerbased pension plans relied upon by millions while
also promoting new savings options and protecting
the government from future taxpayer bailouts.
The reforms in the bill “represent the most sweeping changes to America’s pension laws in more than
30 years,” said House Majority Leader John Boehner,
R-Ohio.
He said the bill “will ensure that workers and
retirees can continue to count on their hard-earned
pension benefits.”
The 279-131 vote came only hours before the
House was expected to begin a five-week summer
break.
The legislation now moves to the Senate, which is
expected to take it up next week before it departs for
its August recess, sending it to the president for his
signature.
Opponents, mainly Democrats, said the bill did too
little to prevent employers from eliminating their
defined-benefit plans and favored some industries
over others.
“This tilts the table toward the decisions by companies to terminate or to freeze those plans,” said
Rep. George Miller, D-Calif.
The legislation, which tightens controls on companies that fall behind in their contributions to definedbenefit plans, gives special repayment breaks to the
airline industry and is of particular urgency for several airlines threatening to terminate their plans.
“If passed, the airline provision currently before
the Congress will save Northwest Airlines employees’ hard-earned pension benefits,” the airlines said in
a statement.
After the pension vote, the House voted 230-180
and passed its last major legislation before adjourning, a bill coupling a $2.15 increase in the $5.15
hourly minimum wage over three years with lower
inheritance taxes on multimillion-dollar estates.
While the wage-tax measure was expected to pass
the House, its fate in the Senate, which will take it up
next week, was anything but certain.
Senate Democrats and moderate Republicans favor
the minimum wage increase, but many conservatives
oppose it. And the idea of cutting inheritance taxes
lacks the 60 votes needed in the Senate to overcome
parliamentary hurdles expected to be erected by
Democrats.
The 900-page pension bill, the product of several
years of congressional effort, would force employers
that have fallen behind in their defined-benefit pension payments to catch up within seven years and

close loopholes that have allowed companies to
underfund their plans by an estimated $450 billion.
The measure also promotes pension alternatives,
such as 401(k) plans, through such steps as automatic
enrollment. It would give financial firms greater latitude in steering investors toward high-earning savings programs.
The legislation would give airlines that have frozen
their pension plans, Northwest Airlines Corp. and
Delta Air Lines, an additional 10 years to meet pension obligations. American and Continental, the only
two major airlines with active defined-benefit plans,
would get an extra three years.
The fear is that if they abandon their plans — Delta
is already seeking to terminate its pilot pensions — it
will add billions in deficit to the Pension Benefit
Guaranty Corp., which already has amassed a deficit
of $22.8 billion.
The PBGC now operates on premiums and interest
earnings, but a big jump in the deficit could shift its
burden onto taxpayers. The agency takes over benefit
payments for terminated plans.
The pension bill aims to strengthen and improve
the financial status of single-employer and multiemployer plans covering some 44 million Americans.
It also would give legal certainty to future cash balance and other “hybrid” defined-benefit plans. Such
plans have faced lawsuits over charges they discriminate against older workers.
Pension plans that are less than 80 percent funded
would not be allowed to increase benefits during contract negotiations. Companies with plans that are at
risk or in bankruptcy would be restricted in increasing
executive compensation.
The legislation also gives financial firms that manage investment plans rights to offer advice to people
with 401(k) and IRA plans. Advocates argued that
individual investors today often don’t have access to
good advice, while critics questioned whether portfolio managers might give biased advice.
The legislation comes at a time when more companies are opting to scale back or eliminate defined-benefit plans. The PBGC says that such plans fell from
114,000 in 1985 to 31,000 in 2004.
The bill, said AARP’s David Sloane in a letter to
lawmakers, “is designed primarily to protect the government from financial exposure” and “does little to
address the erosion of the defined-benefit system.”
Rep. Jim McDermott, D-Calif., also pointed out
that deep in the bill is a provision that gives defense
contractors more time to meet new rules on payments
and benefit limitations.
The GOP leaders’ decision to bring the pension bill
to the House floor came after House-Senate negotiations on a larger bill linking pension overhaul with tax
breaks collapsed Thursday night.

Browne
LOCAL, NATION AND WORLD
Briefly
Continued from Page A-1
Francisco
along
U.S.
Highway 101. That would put
him right around the
Humboldt/Mendocino county
line.
In all, he told investigators
he killed 48 people starting in
1970.
“None ever got away; never
gave the opportunity,” Browne,
53, told investigators during a
series of prison interviews. “If
you’re going to do it, just do it.”
A 44-page affidavit released
Thursday paints a picture of a
killer who had a low opinion of
women and thought he was justified in killing them, who met
his victims in everyday, even
mundane, situations -- a motel
bar, an apartment complex,
even a convenience store where
he worked.
According to Andy Prehm,
public information officer with
the El Paso County Sheriff’s
Department in Colorado,
Browne said he came across a
couple camping near the beach
while on one of his many
excursions. Details about
which beach were scant, he
said.
He stayed with the two for a
while, Prehm said, then decided to shoot them. He later
ditched the bodies in some
driftwood, stole some of their
belongings and took off, Prehm
said.
According
to
Brenda
Godsey of the Humboldt
County Sheriff’s Department,
investigators here have been
contacted about the claims but
have not been able to link it to
any existing cases.
Godsey said they also contacted the Humboldt County
Coroner’s Office and State
Parks, but were unable to turn
up anything.
Coronor Frank Jager said
there’s no existing case that fits
this bill in Humboldt County.
“There’s nobody to my
knowledge that we’re looking
at as a possible homicide ...
who matches that description,”
Jager said.
It’s possible the bodies were
never found, he said, if they
were swept into the ocean or if
they were buried.
So how do authorities know
if Browne is telling the truth?
His arrest in a stolen truck in
Mendocino County on March
30, 1986, lends some credence,
Prehm said.
“Some of the facts that we
know to be true based on his
arrest do kind of match with
some of his claims on this one,”
Prehm said.
Officials involved in the
investigation have had contact
with the Mendocino County
Sheriff’s Department.
Investigators so far have
been able to corroborate
Browne’s detailed claims in six
slayings -- three in Louisiana,
two in Texas and one in
Arkansas, El Paso County
Sheriff Terry Maketa said.
Browne also pleaded guilty
Thursday in Colorado Springs
to another killing, that of a 15year-old girl in Colorado
Springs shortly before his
arrest.
who in recent weeks have
become more brazen in their
attacks.
“This will place our most
experienced unit with our
most mobile and agile systems
in support of our main effort,”
said Gen. George W. Casey
Jr., the top U.S. commander in
Iraq. “This gives us a potentially decisive capability to
affect security in Baghdad.”
President Bush said this
week that he had decided to
send more troops to Baghdad
after the surge in reprisal
killings began to threaten the
unity government of Prime
Minister Nouri al-Maliki,
which took power May 20.
Security increased
at synagogues,
mosques after
shooting in Seattle
SEATTLE
(AP)
—
Officials stepped up security
at both synagogues and
mosques Saturday as authorities investigated a shooting at
a Jewish organization that
killed an employee and
wounded five others, including a pregnant woman.
Police arrested Naveed
Afzal Haq, 30, after the shooting Friday afternoon and he
was booked for investigation
of homicide and attempted
homicide, police said. They
were investigating the shooting as a hate crime.
Haq was expected to make
an initial court appearance
Saturday afternoon.
The gunman forced his way
through the security door at
the federation after an
employee had punched in her
security code, Marla MeislinDietrich, a database coordinator for the center who was not
at the building at the time, told
The Associated Press.
“He said ‘I am a Muslim
American, angry at Israel,’
before opening fire on everyone,” Meislin-Dietrich said.
“He was randomly shooting at
everyone.”
Hezbollah chief
threatens rocket
attacks on
central Israel
BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) —
Hezbollah’s
leader
on
Saturday threatened more
attacks on central Israeli
cities, a day after guerrillas for
the first time fired a rocket
powerful enough to reach the
outskirts of Tel Aviv.
Sheik Hassan Nasrallah,
speaking on Hezbollah’s TV
station, said he supported
Lebanon’s efforts to negotiate
a peace deal, but suggested
tentative promises for the
guerrillas to disarm would be
off if conditions aren’t met.
Nasrallah also dismissed a
new diplomatic effort by
Secretary
of
State
Condoleezza Rice to bring
about cease-fire, saying the
United States wants fighting
to continue. His statement
came as Rice arrived in the
Mideast to visit Israel; a possible Lebanon stop has not been
announced.
The bearded Shiite Muslim
cleric, wearing his trademark
black headdress, insisted
Hezbollah fighters were winning the battle with Israel,
now in its 18th day. Israel has
not made a “single military
accomplishment” in its offensive on Lebanon, he said,
speaking on the group’s AlManar television.
He claimed Israel suffered
a “serious defeat” in ground
fighting around a Lebanese
border town after Israeli
troops pulled back Saturday
afternoon. Israel said they left
Bint Jbail because they
accomplished their mission of
wearing down Hezbollah
fighters after a week of heavy
battles.

Sony Corp. focuses
on rebuilding its
brand, restructuring
TOKYO (AP) — Three
years ago, Sony Corp.
launched the Qualia line of
luxury gadgets that included a
tiny $3,300 digital camera and
a $13,000 audio console that
automatically centered a compact disc regardless of how
carelessly it was tossed into
the player.
Problem was, Sony engineers seemed more enamored
with the extravagantly priced
technology than consumers
were, and the products meant
to highlight Sony’s fine-tuned
prowess received little interest
beyond the initial gee-whiz.
The gadgets were a sign of
a growing gap between Sony
creations and consumer sensibilities at the company that
brought the world the
Walkman portable music
player. The company, which
turned 60 this year, appeared
to be losing touch with its customers.
“Sony used to be a company that had superior technology and cool design and created products that other companies didn’t have,” said
Akihiko Jojima, author of
“Sony’s Sickness.” “Sony has
become merely a brand for
brand’s sake.”
A turnaround effort led by
Chief Executive Howard
Stringer, who a year ago
became the first foreigner to
head the Japanese company, is
showing early signs of paying
off. Stringer — the former
head of Sony’s U.S. unit and
previously a top executive at
CBS — adopted a twopronged strategy of downsizing and focusing on growth
areas.
Gibson apologizes
for DUI arrest,
discloses battle
with alcoholism
LOS ANGELES (AP) —
Mel Gibson issued a lengthy
statement Saturday apologizing for his drunk driving arrest
and saying he has battled alcoholism throughout his life.
Gibson also apologized for
what he said were “despicable” statements he made to the
deputies who arrested him
early Friday morning on
Pacific Coast Highway in
Malibu.
“I acted like a person completely out of control when I
was arrested,” he said in a
statement issued by his publicist. “I disgraced myself and
my family with my behavior
and for that I am truly sorry. I
have battled with the disease
of alcoholism for all of my
adult life and profoundly
regret my horrific relapse.”
Publicist Alan Nierob
declined to elaborate beyond
the statement.
Gibson, 50, was arrested
for investigation of driving
under the influence of alcohol
after deputies stopped his
2006 Lexus LS 430 for speeding. Sheriff’s spokesman
Steve Whitmore said deputies
clocked him doing 87 mph in
a 45 mph zone.

U. plans second
‘body farm’ in U.S.
CULLOWHEE, N.C. (AP)
— The 6.5-horsepower wood
chipper sitting in the middle
of John Williams’ forensic
anthropology lab run is no
macabre joke. Yes, a wood
chipper did figure in the
bloody climax of the 1996
film “Fargo.” And yes, the
professor at Western Carolina
University has run human
bones through this particular
Briggs & Stratton model.
But Williams, of course,
isn’t trying to dispose of any
dead bodies. Rather, he’s a
student of how the human
body decomposes.
He needed the chipper for a
study on what the machine
does to bone, a study commissioned by attorneys suing a
Georgia crematorium owner
charged with dumping — and
chipping — human remains
he had been given for incineration.
Soon, Williams will have a
new place to conduct his
research — a well-hidden
location
near
Western
Carolina’s campus where he
and students studying the science of the human skeleton
and human remains can watch
cadavers decompose in the
mountainous environment of
western North Carolina.
It will be just the second
such “body farm” in the country — the first was found in
1980 at the University of
Tennessee in Knoxville.

Appalled at duplicity
To the Editor:
This letter has nothing to do with the
flag on the hill. It does, however, attempt to
address the dual mentality of those who
would wave the flag with one hand while
striking it down with the other. President
Bush laments the potential loss of life of
what I guess we’re now told are snow flake
babies while the administration suppresses
coverage of 2,560 flag-draped coffins
returning from Iraq-Istan. I was there as a

those who would wave the flag with one
hand and strike it down with the other.

President on September 11, 2001, when the
intelligence failures that led to the devastating attacks occurred, the intelligence leadership in place were appointees of President
Clinton. President Bush only became
President on January 20, 2001. On
September 11, 2001, the CIA Director was
George Tenet who was appointed in 1997
by President Clinton. President Bush’s
choice for FBI Director was appointed on
September 4th, 2001, only a week before
the attack. Clearly the FBI’s activities or
lack thereof that contributed to the intelligence failure had been directed by Interim
Director Thomas Pickard and his Clintonappointed boss, Louis Freeh.
I therefore suggest to Katherine, that the
failures which led to 9/11 occurred on the
watch of her beloved President Bill
Clinton. I hope that Katherine is “receptive
to the facts” and that she can “do the
math.”

Will the city be flexible
about energy bills?
To the Editor:
This is a simple but important question
in light of these very high temperatures in
this area of late. Is the city of Ukiah going
to allow more relaxed payback for those of
us in Ukiah that live on fixed incomes or
have to run air conditioning due to chronic
health problems? These extreme temps are
going to wreak havoc with our bills and not
everyone is wealthy in this valley to say the
least. In the past this department has been

A safety reminder
To the Editor:
A week ago while doing my daily ride, I
launched myself over the handlebars of my
bicycle. I landed on my head then shoulder,
elbow and then hip, knocking myself out
on the way and fracturing my pelvis. My
helmet was broken and flattened at the site
of impact. Other than needing to spend a
month or so on crutches and being very
black and blue, I am alive and well and will
ride again.
One undeniable truth I know is that my
helmet saved me from death or extreme
injury. I consider myself a very experienced
rider with literally thousands of miles of
experience, the road conditions were not
poor, there was no traffic; I just made a
mistake. I feel compelled now to tell any of
you out there who ride bikes or especially
you who have children who ride that wearing the helmet should not be an option. The
choice to wear it can mean the difference
between life and death. Even though there
is a law that children must wear a helmet, I
see kids all the time with no helmet or they
wear the helmet on their handlebars or
stuck on their heads with the chinstrap not
even closed.
Remember, the helmets can’t protect us
if we don’t put them on our heads. I’m
grateful for my helmet and that my head
did not end up looking like a squashed
melon on the road.

Rabbit recipe not very nice
To the Editor:
I am stunned by the absence of empathy,
sensitivity and any human kindness shown
by Mr. Robert Schuster in his letter of July
24.
Ms. Grace Darner was simply concerned
about the danger facing fellow creatures -jack rabbits -- in our growing, perhaps
sprawling, town.
I figure, Mr. Schuster, you felt motivated
by what you see as humor to write your letter. I hope I don’t live among many others
who think this was funny.
It hurt my heart as much as Ms. Darner’s
concern touched my heart. Your attitude is
mean-spirited and truly sad, Mr. Schuster. I
am sorry for you.

Stop dissing
America
Another voice BY GENE HARRISON
Valerie Holm Warda’s column of July 16, “The
Perils of Patriotism,” struck me more like The Perils of
Zero Critical Thinking. Yet another pseudo-didactic
piece wildly evidencing Ms. Warda’s desperate need
for a good editor. I don’t live in California anymore
and normally couldn’t care less what Ms. Warda
writes. But, I did happen to read her column online a
couple days back, and I’m compelled to respond.
I found her article to be a near mindless antiAmerican diatribe lacking any historical perspective
whatsoever (Mendocino County Syndrome?). First,
she states “The Red, White and Blue has also been
usurped by those in power as a rallying point for
engaging in a losing battle across the globe.” Huh?!
Which losing battle was that exactly? Zip post 9/11 terrorist attacks on American soil? Sending Al-Z to hookup with 72 virgins? And then “Our country was founded mainly because of a few well-heeled but unhappy
British patriots.” Oh really. Ms. Warda’s comment is
cynical and uninformed. I guess all the young dudes
who died at Valley Forge were either well heeled
British patriots or sheep. The article’s trite inanities
continue unabated. She states ”.. . today’ s war dissenters are now called traitors.” And who exactly is
engaged in this name calling? Ms. Warda gives us an
example. First she flops the line “If you disagree with
me, you are a traitor.” She then poses her big question,
“What other President of the United States would have
even thought that --- let alone voice it in effect to our
citizens?” Presumably she means President Bush, and
presumably she means that he is calling our war dissenter citizens exercising their constitutional rights
traitors. This is a ludicrous assertion and Ms. Warda
offers no evidence to support her contention. But what
is even more appalling is Ms. Warda’s total lack of
understanding of American history by even asking
such an idiotic question. FYI Ms. Warda, here are a
few presidents who really did think war dissenters
were traitors and that certain of the captured enemy
should be treated pretty harsh, and they did plenty
about it. And they were all highly regarded liberals.
How about President Lincoln who suspended habeas
corpus during the Civil War effectively suspending the
Constitution (some 13,000 people were thrown into
jail or prison for activities such as discouraging enlistments), President Wilson encouraged passage of
extreme measures including the Sedition Act which
were used against World War I protesters and even
individuals who merely dissed the flag. Almost a thousand people went to jail or prison simply for their
beliefs. Makes today’s Patriot Act look like vanilla
pudding. And let’s not forget the greatest liberal of
them all, President Franklin Roosevelt who approved
military tribunals during World War II wherein various
out-of-uniform German soldiers operating in this
country faced such tribunals, they were convicted, they
received an expedited U.S. Supreme Court review,
then they were taken out and shot, all these events transpiring within a few weeks.
Ms. Warda’s article proceeds to invoke the ghost of
Edward R. Murrow. She states “In the film ‘Good
night and good luck’, we can be inspired by one person’s stand against drastic polarization ploys we see
used again today.” Blows the mind. Murrow, I believe,
would have been amused with Ms. Warda’s recent column, taken as a whole, a classic drastic polarizing
ploy. Far more on point, when Murrow finally exposed
Senator Joseph McCarthy on his “See It Now” TV program in 1954, he said “The actions of the junior
Senator from Wisconsin have caused alarm and dismay amongst our allies abroad, and given considerable
comfort to our enemies. And whose fault is that? Not
really his. He didn’t create this situation of fear; he
merely exploited it --- and rather successfully. Cassius
was right. The fault, dear Brutus, is not in the stars, but
in ourselves. Good night, and good luck.” And of
course, any hint of irony is lost on Ms. Warda, for it
was Murrow who almost single handedly championed
America’s entry into World War II via his riveting
radio broadcasts from England.
Ms. Warda’s article, out of control at this point, goes
on to attack a local citizen quoted in the newspaper for
admitting “I wouldn’t want to live in another country.”
For the record, I loudly echo this person’s sentiment.
And does travel expert Ms. Warda offer any wonderful
alternatives? How about Mexico? Illegal aliens are
summarily thrown in jail for three years down there.
Maybe France with its Islamic riots and almost nonexistent work ethic. Most Middle Eastern nations don’t
allow women to drive. Africa with its HIV/AIDS epidemic thanks to men who refuse to practice safer sex
methods. A billion people living amongst piles of cow
feces in India. Mega crime wave Brazil. Super dangerous drivers in China. Putin the dictator in the land of
the Russian mafia. Warda is a Persian name, perhaps
Ms. Warda would enjoy living in Iran. How many are
deemed worthy of entry to liberal nirvana New
Zealand? Better come well heeled. Any real examination reveals the obvious, too many deal busters generSee VOICE, Page A-7

30 ways to wreck a county
When the Animal Control Department
head is fired, let the new CEO put Animal
Control in the same department as the
County nurses and drug and alcohol
abuse prevention. Then say nothing and
ask no questions, making it clear from the
start that goofy reorganizations are fine
with you.
Vote “no confidence” in the chairman
of the County Board but don’t explain to
the public why you did it.
Announce an ambitious-sounding
schedule of workshops for the year to
address important tasks which have been
ignored for years. Then fire the CEO who
assembled the ambitious-sounding
schedule and put all the important tasks
back into the closet while you deal with
the problems created by the firing of the
CEO.
Pass an ineffectual ordinance implementing the "precautionary principle"
then proceed to let the CEO make some
of the most incautious personnel and
management changes in county history
and don’t ask any questions or put any of
the significant changes on any agenda for
review and discussion.
Hide money in each department and
sub-department by various clever
accounting devices, such as burying the
County’s retirement contribution cost
into individual department budgets where
they can’t be easily totaled; leaving
"funded" positions unfilled for as long as
possible by dragging out the hiring
process, underestimating the increase in
tax revenues from high-cost home building and sales property tax assessments in
the county, etc. Then waste the hidden
(but suddenly "found") leftover money
on yourselves and your executive staff
and aides and travel before the fiscal year
ends.
Tell the Transportation Department
you can’t find any money to advance to
road crews and contractors for storm
damage repair until Caltrans and FEMA
can get around to repaying, leaving the
county’s road crews to limp along with
less than half the money necessary to do
both ordinary repairs and storm damage
repairs -- after their depleted budget was
already cut last year.
At the same time "find" $134k in cash
to buy out the contract of the CEO you
avoidably fired (also without explanation
to the public) a few months after having
said you were thrilled to have him and
one month after letting his contract
renew. Then let the replacement proceed
Voice
ally, whether an eroded or non-existent
infrastructure, super high taxes,
Draconian drug laws, guilty until proven
innocent, you name it.
Near the end of her column Ms. Warda
seems to be puzzled by who we are as a
country, a people. Here are a few clues.
We are unique in that we come from over
200 nations on Earth. At great cost, we
saved Europe from completely destroying itself in World War I. At far greater
cost, we saved the entire planet by winning World War II. We stood up to the
insanity of the Soviet Union for decades,
protected the free world, and eventually
won the Cold War; our accomplishments
in space are so staggering that enormous
numbers of people on Earth refuse to
believe we landed on the Moon, and safely returned, six times from 1969 through
1972, ancient history by modem measures. We create new technology and
make medical advances for all the world
to benefit, we are the most generous peo-

BY MARK SCARAMELLA
with the poorly planned reorganization
your supporters said you were unhappy
with anyway -- no agenda items, no questions, no reviews, no demands for objectives or results.
Let a reporter describe in detail a budget dispute you had with the Chief
Executive Office and Chief Operating
Officer the week before the CEO was
fired, where you were specifically reported to have demanded budget changes
without a board vote, then leak out to a
political supporter that the tense executive budget dispute had nothing to do
with the CEO being fired.
Declare that there’s a "structural
deficit," then let the large majority of
your most experienced managers quit or
retire in the same year and ask their inexperienced replacements to make large
budget cuts without affecting service.
Hire a temporary CEO but leave the
fired CEO’s assistant in place and let
them recruit and select top management
replacements who they won’t have to live
with next year after the interim CEO is
gone.
Leave most internal county projects in
limbo while employees try to figure out
who’s in charge of what and which rules
will be implemented or enforced.
In the midst of the management turmoil, make transparently lame attempts
to change the subject to minor, if not
completely irrelevant issues. Such as:
• Making a big show of thanking some
volunteer horse rescuers. Go so far as to
solemnly read the entire list of 150 horse
rescuers out loud at a formal supervisorial session as if they had just died in Iraq.
• Announcing that you are going to
"begin work toward an inclusionary
housing ordinance." (When making such
lame announcements make sure you
couch them in weasel words like "begin"
and "toward" that make no commitment
whatsoever. Also don’t say anything
about the lawsuit that forced you to take
this teensy step over your objection.)
• Formally thanking the Mental Health
Board for preparing a report that they
were required to prepare anyway which
ple in history whether rebuilding Europe
with the Marshall Plan and other areas of
the globe after World War II, always
jumping in to help relieve suffering after
yet another tsunami, earthquake, or other
natural disaster occurs in a far flung
place, no questions asked, free of charge,
or a willingness to spend $15 billion to
help HIV/AIDS ravaged Africa, even
while so many refuse to help themselves.
Who we are would take volumes to
explain, it is unfortunate that Ms. Warda
who has discussed her teaching career so
many times in earlier columns does not
seem to have a clue.
Finally, the article sinks to yet another
low, Ms. Warda states “America ... have
barely proven capable of ruling ourselves
when you look at our crime, deficit,
poverty and justice struggles.” That’s
quite a half-empty glass statement, don’t
you think? We’ve barely governed ourselves to a $12.5 trillion economy, more
than five times larger than China which
has more than four times as many people.
A 5.6 per cent per annum growth rate this
year. Multi-trillion federal, state, and
local budgets encompassing almost
everything imaginable from our defense
bemoans the lack of mental health services but commits the county to very little new help for the mentally ill even
though there’s $900k more money from
Proposition 63.
• Holding a workshop to "explore" the
impact of marijuana on the county.
(Never do anything -- always "explore.")
If Mendo doesn’t know what the impact
of marijuana is by now they never will.
Nevertheless there’s almost nothing a
county can do individually about the
legal or illegal drug problem since the
cops, the courts, the state legislature and
the feds control the drug laws and the
medical marijuana programs.
Don’t hold a workshop on metering
water flows in the Ukiah Valley, effectively blocking any conservation methods and storage capacity increases which
cannot be accurately sized, ensuring that
nothing can be done about the water
problem.
Don’t spend most of the county’s nearly $1 million in tobacco tax money for
anything like childcare vouchers that
would actually help working mothers and
their young children.
If you’re an incumbent, make sure to
only discuss bland generalities during
campaign events and debates and claim
credit for things that others did the heavy
lifting on.
Ignore jail overcrowding and understaffing now -- talk only about the "criminal justice" issue in grandiose terms
costing hundreds of millions of dollars
that might someday fund a new jail/courthouse complex in the distant future
when you will not be around.
Hold another meeting in Fort Bragg as
if somehow meeting there will make it
look like you’re finally getting around to
problems on the Coast. Never mind that
you never really get around to any major
problems on the Coast or inland. Use the
opportunity to pander to Coast liberals by
passing a pointless advisory anti-war initiative.
And always -- always -- continue business as usual as if there are no serious
problems at all.
(PS. If that’s not 30 ways, tough
patooties. I’m just following my county’s
leadership, promising more than I can
deliver.)

I’m certain the many thousands of hard
working county supervisors throughout
America and probably your local congressman would find her comment
extremely objectionable. Ours is an economy the envy of the world with a stable
political system and our priceless freedom. As author Ambrose Bierce once
said “Liberty: One of imagination’s most
precious possessions.”
Obviously we have problems requiring substantive attention, whether
addressing the needs of a crack addicted

we are not perfect. It’s a challenging

Obligatory judicial poetry
Judicial follies
In October, 2005, a new bankruptcy law
took effect that radically changed the rules of
the bankruptcy system for the first time in a
generation. The old bankruptcy law, which had
been in effect since the late 1970’s, made it
much easier for folks who were over their head
in debt (often from the loss of a job or a major
medical problem) to wipe out their debts for
the “fresh start” that filing bankruptcy traditionally provided.
The 2005 law made it harder to file a bankruptcy petition, establishing income limits that
made wiping out debts under what is known as
a Chapter 7 petition became available to far
fewer people. And then there are new procedural requirements, one of which so troubled
Florida Bankruptcy Judge A. Jay Cristol that
he recently decided to comment on it in a . . .
most unusual way.
In a case involving a couple named Hal and
Deloris Riddle, he began by explaining that if
an individual debtor in a certain cases failed to
file all of the information required by law within 45 days after the date of the filing of the
petition, the case is supposed to be “automatically dismissed” on the 46th day after the date
of the filing of the petition. Judge Cristol said
that the Riddles had filed all the information
required for their Chapter 7 case.
ON THE STREETS
BY FRANK ZOTTER
But then, having apparently decided that he
was frustrated by the new law, he decided to
add a commentary on the automatic dismissal
provision. A sampling:
I do not like dismissal automatic,
It seems to me to be traumatic.
I do not like it in this case,
I do not like it any place.
As a judge I am most keen
To understand, What does it mean?
How can any person know
What the docket does not show?
What is the clue on the 46th day?
Is the case still here, or gone away?
And if a debtor did not do
What the Code had told him to
And no concerned party knew it,
Still the Code says the debtor blew it.
Well that is what it seems to say:
The debtor’s case is then Oy vay!
“A dog, because they
make good pets and
they’re really good to
have.”

Photos and interviews by Ryan Garner.
This kind of law is symptomatic
Of something very problematic.
***
What’s a poor trustee to do—
Except perhaps to say, Boo hoo!
And if the case goes on as normal
And debtor gets a discharge formal,
What if a year later some fanatic
Claims the case was dismissed automatic?
Was there a case, or wasn’t there one?
How do you undo what’s been done?
***
Dismissal automatic is not understood.
For all concerned this is not good.
Before this problem gets too old
it would be good if we were told:
What does automatic dismissal mean?
And by what means can it been seen?
Are we only left to guess?
Oh please Congress, fix this mess!
Until it’s fixed what should I do?
***
As to this case, how should I proceed?
Review of the record is warranted, indeed.
A very careful record review,
tells this Court what it should do.
Was this case dismissed automatic?
It definitely was NOT and that’s emphatic.
Anyone who is a parent will recognize the
references to “Sam I am” from the Dr. Seuss
book “Green Eggs and Ham.” This wasn’t the
first time that Judge Cristol had waxed poetic,
though — in a case that has assumed a kind of
legendary status, he once wrote an opinion
after the style of Edgar Allen Poe’s “The
Raven.”
And it wasn’t the first time Dr. Seuss had
gotten this treatment, either. Some years back,
a book entitled “The Cat NOT in the Hat!”
described the events of the O.J. Simpson case
using language and pictures drawn from Dr.
Seuss’ works (“One knife?/Two knife?/Red
knife/Dead wife.”) A federal court decided that
the book was actually a copyright infringement
because the authors hadn’t gotten permission
from the Seuss literary executors to use those
characteristics in the book.
Judge Cristol probably didn’t get their permission, to “borrow” from “Green Eggs and
Ham,” either. But what’s another court going to
do? Order people not to read a different court’s
opinion?

Zito comes through
Oakland ace captures
7-4 victory despite
swirling trade rumors
By JOSH DUBOW
The Associated Press
OAKLAND — Barry Zito is so
sure he’ll still be with Oakland after
next week’s trade deadline that even
when general manager Billy Beane
asked him for a minute after the game
he wasn’t fazed a bit.
“I think he was going to yank my
chain but then he decided not to,” Zito
said. “I wouldn’t have been surprised
if he did. But I don’t think I would
have taken him seriously.”
Zito settled down after giving up a
first-inning grand slam and Jay Payton
drove in three runs to move the
Athletics back into first place in the
AL West with a 7-4 victory over the
Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday.
Zito, who is eligible for free agency
at the end of the season, has been mentioned in potential trade talks all season and pitched under the close watch
of scouts from around the majors. But
Beane said he isn’t planning any
major moves and expects Zito to stick
around.
“Rumors are just that — rumors,”
Beane said. “It’s part of this time of
year.”
The A’s had spent 43 days with at
least a share of first place before
falling a half-game behind the Los
Angeles Angels following a 4-3 loss to
Toronto on Friday night. Oakland
quickly moved back in front by a halfgame with its win and the Angels’ 7-6
loss in Boston.
Oakland fell behind 4-0 just four
batters into the game as the first three
Blue Jays reached against Zito before
Troy Glaus hit his first grand slam in
nearly four years.
After getting out of a jam in the second by striking out Vernon Wells with
two on and Alex Rios with the bases
loaded, Zito (11-7) found his groove
after that and didn’t give up another
run.
“He’s been Mr. Ace since he’s been
here,” Payton said. “Tonight was a

Dodgers
LOS ANGELES — Dodgers
rookie Russell Martin has drawn
praise this season for his work
behind the plate. His offense has
been a bonus.
Martin homered and drove in
four runs to help Los Angeles beat
the Washington Nationals 7-5
Saturday. He is batting .298 with
five homers and 44 RBIs since May
5, when he was promoted from
Triple-A to replace the injured
Dioner Navarro.
The Canadian-born catcher has
performed so well that Navarro
became expendable and was traded
to Tampa Bay on June 27.

Angels
BOSTON — David Ortiz tried
something different, but had a
familiar ending.
Ortiz capped a 4-for-5 day with a
single the other way through a
shifted infield with two outs in the
11th inning, giving the Boston Red
Sox a 7-6 comeback win over the
Los Angeles Angels on Saturday.
Ortiz drove in four runs, helping
the Red Sox rally to spoil Angels
rookie Jered Weaver’s attempt to
become the first pitcher in 25 years
to win his first eight major league
starts.
Ortiz hit his major league-leading 35th homer and had a pair of
RBI singles to raise his major
league-leading RBI total to 99.

prime example. He got down and just
went out and gave us a chance to chip
away at them and get the win. He was
phenomenal.”
Payton hit an RBI single in the
fourth and put the A’s ahead with his
two-run single in the fifth. Milton
Bradley added three hits and two
RBIs, and Mark Kotsay had two hits,
two runs and an RBI for Oakland.
Zito won his 97th career game with
Oakland, allowing four runs and eight
hits in 6 2-3 innings. The fans chanted
“Zi-to! Zi-to!” to urge him on in the
seventh inning and gave him a standing ovation after he was replaced by
Justin Duchscherer with two outs in
the seventh. The chants continued during Duchscherer’s warmup and Zito
acknowledged them with a curtain
call.
“That was awesome,” Zito said. “I
have never seen a curtain call here
before. That was pretty special.
Maybe they thought it was my last
outing here.”

Another American champion was
hit with a shocking positive drug
test Saturday — Olympic and world
100-meter champion Justin Gatlin.
Gatlin said he has been informed
that he tested positive for testosterone or other prohibited steroids
— the same violation that, only two
days ago, threw Floyd Landis’ victory in the Tour de France into question.
Gatlin,
who
positioned himself
as a leader in trying
to prove track and
field is a clean
sport, said in a
statement released
through his publicist that the U.S.
Anti-Doping
Agency informed
Gatlin
him of the test
taken after a relay
race in Kansas in April.
He said he will cooperate with
USADA “and hope that when all the
facts are revealed it will be determined that I have done nothing
wrong.”
“I cannot account for these
results, because I have never knowingly used any banned substance or
authorized anyone else to administer such a substance to me,” Gatlin
said. “In the course of my entire
professional career, I have been
tested more than 100 times. ... All of
the tests this season, including the
out-of-competition and in-competition tests conducted just before and
after the race in Kansas, were negative.”
Gatlin, the co-world record holder with Jamaica’s Asafa Powell in
the 100, is coached by Trevor
Graham, whose former pupils
include Tim Montgomery and
Marion Jones.
Both Montgomery and Jones
have been key players in the
BALCO steroids investigation.

Road woes continue
Giants losing streak
reaches six games with
4-3 loss to Pirates
By ALAN ROBINSON
PITTSBURGH — Throw strikes,
keep the ball down, let the defense
work for you. Tom Gorzelanny followed the formula that’s been
preached to major league pitchers for
decades and got his first career victory because of it.
The rookie left-hander limited
slumping San Francisco to two runs
over seven innings and drove in a run
himself to help the Pittsburgh Pirates
beat the Giants 4-3 Saturday night.
“It felt good to finally get it out of
the way,” Gorzelanny said of winning
in his sixth career start, one last season. “I hope there are many more to
come.”
Jeromy Burnitz homered and two
Ronny Paulino singles led to runs as
the Pirates matched their season high
by winning their fourth in a row. They
own the NL’s worst record — 39-66
— but are 9-6 since the All-Star break.
Barry Bonds, booed as usual during
every at-bat in the city where he twice
won the NL MVP award, drove in a
run with a bloop double in the first but
the Giants lost their fifth in a row. The
losing streak is their longest this season, and they are winless on a sixgame road trip to Washington and
Pittsburgh that winds up Sunday.
Gorzelanny (1-2) hadn’t lasted
longer than six innings in the majors
before giving up two runs and six hits
over seven.
Gorzelanny got 16 of 21 outs on
grounders or strikeouts, with no
Giants batter retired on a popup or flyball until Pedro Feliz popped up to
end the fourth. That ability to keep the
ball on the ground helped Gorzelanny
get out of several jams, and he was
supported by a defense that featured a
series of excellent plays from second
baseman Jose Castillo.
After Bonds’ double fell in front of
center fielder Jose Bautista in the first,
Gorzelanny got Moises Alou to

ground out and prevent any further
scoring. The run was the first allowed
by the 24-year-old Gorzelanny in the
first inning in the majors.
Gorzelanny’s groundout scored the
Pirates’ first run of the game in the
second, following leadoff singles by
Burnitz and Paulino.
Pittsburgh took a 3-1 lead in the
third against Jamey Wright (6-9) on
Paulino’s RBI single and Jose
Castillo’s run-scoring double that
hopped the center-field wall and landed in the Giants’ bullpen.
Wright is 4-11 in his career against
the Pirates and has lost his last five
decisions against them.
Wright has lost six of his last seven
decisions, winning once in 11 starts
since May 22.
“We’re going to talk about a few
things before we get home Monday,”
manager Felipe Alou said of his rotation.
Mike Gonzalez pitched the ninth
for his 18th save in as many opportu-
nities despite giving up Eliezer
Alfonzo’s RBI single with none out.
Bonds went 1-for-3 with a walk
and two strikeouts, dropping his average to .244.
“I don’t see the recognition of
pitches from him, the way he is accustomed to,” Alou said. “You see Barry
taking strikes without being ready to
swing the bat, and swinging on some
bad pitches. You’re not used to seeing
that.”
Notes: The Pirates are 5-1 against
the Giants this season. ... Pirates 1B
Sean Casey was scratched with a
strained muscle, so Joe Randa started
at 1B for the first time since 2004. ...
Bonds fouled a ball off his left foot in
the sixth inning, but stayed in the
game until the eighth. Bonds left
Wednesday’s game against the
Nationals with a mildly strained left
hamstring and didn’t start Thursday,
but has started both weekend games
against the Pirates. He is not expected
to start Sunday.

NFL TRAINING CAMP REPORT
Oakland linebacker Williams
looking for a healthy season
NAPA — During the first week of
training camp, Oakland Raiders coach
Art Shell has shied away from answering
questions about his players’ progress.
When it comes to linebacker Sam
Williams, the subject is almost taboo.
“Don’t ask me,” Shell said Saturday.
“The minute you ask me something like
that, something will happen.”
Shell’s almost superstitious reluctance
to discuss Williams is understandable. In
each of the linebacker’s first three years
in the NFL, the former Fresno State
standout has suffered season-ending
injuries.
As a third-round pick in 2003,
Williams suffered cartilage damage in his
right knee during the preseason and
played in just one game in the regular
season.
In 2004, a torn labrum in his left shoulder — again in the exhibition season —
limited Williams to just nine games in the
regular season before shutting him down
for the year.
Last season, Williams went into training camp projected as one of the Raiders’
starting outside linebackers only to tear a
ligament in his left knee during pre-season practices with the Houston Texans.
That injury forced the Raiders to scrap
their plans to play the 4-3 defense and
instead had coordinator Rob Ryan using a
4-2-5 look for most of the year.
Williams is back in the starting lineup
this year as part of Oakland’s revamped
linebacking corps. Kirk Morrison, who
led the Raiders in tackles last season as a
rookie, has moved to the inside slot while
second-round draft pick Thomas Howard
is atop the depth chart at the other outside

Three season-ending injuries have
plagued Sam Williams in the past.
linebacker position.
Williams could be the key to it all — if
he can stay out of the trainer’s room and
off injured reserve.
“I really don’t even think about it,”
Williams said of his past injuries. “I feel
like I’m ready to play and I think (the
coaching staff) feels like I’m ready to
play. I just have to stay healthy.”
Williams has played in just 10 regular
season games since entering the NFL, the
last on Dec. 19, 2004.
He has just 27 tackles in that brief
time, hardly what the Raiders were
expecting from the 6-foot-5-inch, 250pound linebacker.
Williams, who celebrated his 26th
birthday on Friday, hopes he can get his
career back on track this season. Because
of his lack of experience, Williams is in
many ways like a rookie. But entering his
fourth NFL season, he is also one of the
senior members of Oakland’s linebacking
group.
“Every year, I gain more and more
knowledge of the game,” Williams said.
“Standing on the sidelines, I was able to
pick the players’ brains and I was able to
pick the coaches’ brains. Now I’m just
working hard and getting ready. That’s all
I can control.”
For Shell, who spent the past five
years working out of the NFL offices in
New York, evaluating how much the
injuries have changed Williams is a difficult call.
Even if it wasn’t, Shell would probably avoid answering the question anyway.
“I don’t know him that well,” Shell
said. “All I know is that he has ability to
play and that he’s been injured in the
past. So far we’ve been very fortunate
and hopefully that luck will continue.
Knock on wood.”
NOTES: Defensive end Lance
Johnstone was excused from practice
Saturday for personal reasons. He is due
back Sunday ... Shell said the Raiders
expect injured left tackle Robert Gallery
(quad) to make his first appearance in
practice Sunday. Running back LaMont
Jordan (knee, quad), fullback Zack
Crockett (back) and tight end Randall
Williams (back, knee) are also expected
to practice on Sunday.

Niners’ Newberry Owens, Johnson,
hopes for return Culpepper debut
with new teams
ANG Photo
San Francisco center Jeremy Newberry is hoping his
damaged right knee will hold up this season.
By GREG BEACHAM
SANTA CLARA — When
the San Francisco 49ers’ firststring offense took the field at
practice Saturday, Jeremy
Newberry went to the sideline.
For a two-time Pro Bowl
center who was the soul of the
Niners’ offensive line for a
half-decade, it was a difficult
walk to make.
But until Newberry can
demonstrate that his surgically repaired right knee is ready
for full-time NFL contact, he
is a second-stringer, behind
Eric Heitmann on San
Francisco’s depth chart.
“If I said I was happy with
it, I’d be lying,” Newberry
said. “I understand the
approach, but am I happy
about it? No.”
Newberry hasn’t been a
second-stringer since his
rookie season in 1998 — but
the ebullient, hard-hitting
lineman hasn’t been completely healthy for more than
three years. His right knee
mostly is devoid of cartilage,
instead grinding on a layer of
scar tissue created by
microfracture surgery, a lastditch choice that’s often
unsuccessful for athletes.
Yet Newberry has felt good
for a comfortingly long
stretch of days this summer,
swimming and biking without
pain in addition to most football activities. Team doctors
have cleared him for trainingcamp workouts — and though
he’ll sit out most afternoon
practices, Newberry again
feels like part of the team.
“I can’t even remember
how
long
it’s
been,”
Newberry said, shaking his
head when asked to name the
last time he felt whole. “At
least the last couple of years.”
Newberry played all 16
games in 2003 with a torn ligament in his left ankle, waiting for surgery until after the
season. But his right knee
became troublesome early in
training camp in 2004, and he
played in just one game in
between two surgeries.
Newberry returned to play
in 10 games last season, but
was a shadow of his usual
aggressive, trash-talking self.
Skipping most practices and
taking repeated painkilling
shots, Newberry essentially
played on one leg for as long
as possible before doctors
sidelined him in November.
Terrell Owens, Keyshawn Johnson and Daunte Culpepper
made their training camp debuts with their new teams, while
Ben Roethlisberger and Braylon Edwards were back on the
field after recovering from injuries.
In his first camp with the Dallas Cowboys, Owens started
out by being fashionably late as the last one out of the locker room Saturday.
Two hours later, he gave the fans what they came to see.
Using his size and speed, he ran past cornerback Aaron
Glenn, snatched a long pass and raced into the end zone for
a touchdown.
A chant of “T.O.” started immediately and grew louder at
the urging of another newcomer, kicker Mike Vanderjagt.
Then Owens made his way back to midfield waving his arms
to keep the cheer going.
If there was still any doubt whether Cowboys fans would
embrace Owens, it ended right there.
“They’re excited for me to be here and I’m equally excited for me to be here,” Owens said.
- Johnson, released by the Cowboys after they signed
Owens, warned his new Carolina Panthers teammates all
about lofty preaseason expectations.
“If you get caught worrying about it, you aren’t going
anywhere,” Johnson said of predictions of a Super Bowl win
for Carolina. “I can remember when I was in Tampa, every
single year we were picked to win it all and we were always
at home at the end of the day. You don’t win anything right
now. I want to be picked on Super Bowl day.”
After going 11-5 last season, the Panthers finished with a
34-14 loss to Seattle in the NFC championship game when
the Seahawks shut down All-Pro receiver Steve Smith with
double- and triple-teams.
Smith had a short stint in the afternoon, leaving practice
with what general manager Marty Hurney said was a
strained left hamstring.
- Culpepper, the Miami Dolphins’ new quarterback, took
the field nine months after a right knee injury ended his last
season in Minnesota. Throwing against the wind generated
by huge air condition vents, he threw a pass 50 yards in the
air, catching receiver Chris Chambers in stride along the
sideline with midseason accuracy.
“So far, everything is a thumbs-up,” Culpepper said. “I
had visions when I got hurt to be here today to start training
camp, and I still have visions to be ready for the first game.”
- Roethlisberger also has made a surprisingly quick return
from a motorcycle accident on June 12.
He easily completed the series of wind sprints that every
non-injured Pittsburgh Steelers player is required to run
when training camp opens. There was no look of pain or discomfort, or any sign that he didn’t belong on a football field
so soon.
“When my guys here still see me, they shake their heads,
the coaches shake their heads,” Roethlisberger said. “I shake
my head every morning when I look in the mirror. I do feel
blessed to be out here and to be able to take this test and play
football.”
- Edwards, who underwent knee surgery nearly seven
months ago and wasn’t expected to be ready to play in games
until October, unexpectedly returned to practice with the
Browns. The wide receiver tore the anterior cruciate ligament while trying to make a catch against Jacksonville on
Dec. 4, ending his rookie season and requiring him to undergo surgery on Jan. 3.
“This is the happiest I’ve ever been,” Edwards said. “I
shouldn’t be where I am, but I am.”
The Browns had targeted Sept. 1 as his return date for
practice. Edwards had to first pass a physical and be medically cleared by doctors before he could practice. Edwards
thinks he might even be able to play in the Browns’ season
opener Sept. 10 against New Orleans.

GOLF ROUNDUP
Webb captures Evian Masters,
Pavin holds lead at U.S. Bank
EVIAN, France — Michelle Wie had
a two-shot lead after 11 holes and
seemed poised to answer all of the questions about when her first pro win was
going to come.
Then the 16-year-old from Hawaii
bogeyed the 13th hole.
That was all Karrie Webb needed.
The Australian star became the
LPGA Tour’s first three-time winner this
season, shooting a 4-under 68 on
Saturday for a one-stroke victory over
Wie and 42-year-old Laura Davies in the
Evian Masters. Wie closed with a 68,
and Davies shot a 67.
Wie tied Webb for the lead with an
eagle on the par-5 ninth, and took a twoshot lead after a birdie on the 11th,
which Webb bogeyed.
The bogey on the 13th hole cost her.
She drove the ball into the bunker,
and her approach found the sand again.
On her third stroke, Wie managed to put
the ball on the green, but her 30-foot
putt went 6 inches left of the hole, leaving her in a three-way tie with Davies
and Webb.
Webb, who birdied No. 12, took the
lead for good with a birdie on the 14th
and finished at 16-under 272. The Hall
of Famer, who earned $450,000 to take
the money lead with $1,647,433, also
won the Kraft Nabisco Championship
— the first major of the LPGA Tour season — and the Michelob Ultra Open.
Annika Sorenstam (70) finished
eighth at 9 under.
U.S. Bank Championship
MILWAUKEE — Corey Pavin shot a
2-under 68 to take a two-stroke lead
over Madison native Jerry Kelly in the
U.S. Bank Championship.
Pavin birdied five holes, but made his
first three bogeys of the tournament, to
complete three rounds at 17-under 193
on the Brown Deer Park Golf Course.
Kelly shot a 64. Frank Lickliter (64)
and D.J. Trahan (66) were 14 under, and
Shaun Micheel (65), Billy Andrade (66)
and Nathan Green (67) followed at 12
under.
The 46-year-old Pavin, who hasn’t
won on tour in 10 years, had to start off
Saturday by playing seven holes to finish his second round at 64 and move to
15 under. He set a nine-hole PGA Tour
record Thursday with a 26 on the par-34
front side and tied the record for lowest
score in the first 36 holes of a PGA Tour
event at 125.

Wednesday while facing nine
San Diego batters and,
according to manager Grady
Little, “overloaded his circuits
a little bit.”

homer was his 15th, tying the
career high he set in 2002
with the Yankees and equaled
last season. ... The Dodgers

second serve down the middle, helped turn her fortunes
on a day Clijsters hardly had

“She’s a top player. She’s
had those situations many

Sports fans struggle to keep
faith in stars amid scandals
By DAVID CRARY
NEW YORK — Sports fans want so much
to believe in heroes. Yet so often, lately, disillusionment overtakes devotion.
A vicious head-butt by one of soccer’s
greatest players. Thuggish behavior by hockey
and basketball stars. Allegations, proven or
rumored, of doping-related cheating by many
of the world’s best runners, swimmers, baseball players — and now by the much-hailed
winner of this year’s Tour de France.
“It becomes an erosion of trust that can be
devastating to fans, especially to kids,” said
New York-based sports psychologist Stanley
Teitelbaum.
When American Floyd Landis won the Tour
last weekend after a comeback in the final
mountain stage depicted as perhaps the event’s
greatest all-time feat, it seemed a cause for
unadulterated celebration — a triumph against
all odds by a plucky, likable cyclist who overcame severe chronic pain in his weakening hip
to reach the peak of his sport.
Within three days, he was suspended by his
team, and strenuously pleading his innocence
in the face of findings that he had tested positive for elevated levels of testosterone.
In the NFL, training-camp holdouts are a
rite of summer, when it seems that every team
has at least one player refusing to show up for
work because he doesn’t like the terms he
signed, sometimes as little as one year before.
But doping — as a form of cheating — is
perhaps the sin that troubles fans the most.
Even with the Barry Bonds saga unresolved,
his legacy seems tarnished, along with Mark
McGwire, Sammy Sosa, Rafael Palmeiro and
other sluggers linked in the public’s mind to
steroids use.
In track and field, dozens of athletes have
been implicated in doping scandals, or linked
to them, including superstars such as Marion
Jones. On Saturday came word that reigning
Olympic and world 100-meter champion Justin
Gatlin had tested positive for testosterone or its
precursors after a race in April.
“People are disillusioned in all areas of our
life, not just sports, but also political leaders,
Hollywood personalities,” said Richard
Lustberg, a psychologist who runs the Web site
psychologyofsports.com.
“But a lot of people find sports more important than politics and pay more attention to it,”
he said. “We attribute qualities to an athlete
that weren’t really there in the first place, and
Gatlin
have been suspended or
banned for doping.
A person identifying himself as Graham’s son
answered Graham’s phone
and said the coach was not
immediately available.
Gatlin’s revelation came
just days after Landis tested
positive for a testosterone
imbalance after his stirring
comeback victory at the Tour
de France. Landis claims his
body’s natural metabolism
caused the result.
The test on the cyclist measured the ratio of testosterone
to epitestosterone in his system and found an imbalance.
Gatlin’s test was different.
Called a carbon-isotope ratio
test, it is essentially a test that
looks only at testosterone, not
epitestosterone, and can determine whether the testosterone
then when that athlete turns out to be a mere
mortal, we’re just crushed.”
As the Landis case unfolded, Kansas City
Star sports columnist Jason Whitlock was
among many commentators suggesting that
fans stop placing athletes on a pedestal.
“It’s improper. It’s a position they don’t
want or deserve,” Whitlock wrote.
However, Peter Roby, director of the Center
for the Study of Sport in Society at
Northeastern University, urged fans not to
view sports more harshly than other realms of
modern life.
“Every day people are accused of cheating.
We see it in the media with cases like Enron,
Martha Stewart, Tyco, and unfortunately
sport,” he said. “In all cases the people
involved have lost perspective, and stop thinking about the people that rely on them like
employees, investors, fans, teammates and
family.”

Floyd Landis tested positive for elevated levels of testosterone last week.
in a person’s system is natural
or unnatural.
In his statement, Gatlin
said he tested positive for
“testosterone or its precursors” “Precursors” is another
term for anabolic steroids.
One of the loudest voices in
the quest to clean up his sport,
Gatlin he was “particularly
sensitive to this issue”
because he tested positive in
college for a banned substance contained in Adderall,
which he took to calm attention deficit disorder. He
served a two-year ban in international competition after that
infraction, meaning another
positive test could result in a
lifetime ban.
“That experience made me
even more vigilant to make
certain that I not come into
contact with any banned substance for any reason whatsoever, because any additional
anti-doping rule offense could
mean a lifetime ban from the
sport that I love,” Gatlin said.
If Gatlin chooses, he can
present the findings to an
independent review board.
After that, the case could go to
arbitration and he would have
the right to appeal the arbitration.
Asked about Gatlin’s statement, USADA spokesman
Carla O’Connell did not confirm knowledge of the test.
Later, USADA CEO Terry
Madden released a statement
that made no mention of
Gatlin.
“USADA will not comment
on the facts of any active case
since the rules we follow
allow for a full and fair
process prior to the details of
any case being made public,”
Madden
said.
“Anyone
accused of a doping violation
has a right to have his or her
case determined on the evidence through the established
process and not on any other
basis.”

LA vs. SF now truly a battle of Olympic proportions
Cities in the running
to host 2016 Olympics
By JOHN ROGERS
Associated Press Writer
Los Angeles vs. San Francisco —
San Francisco vs. Los Angeles. For
decades it has been a rivalry of
Olympic proportions. And now it
really is.
With this week’s announcement
that the City by the Bay and the City
of Smoggy Skies are among the three
U.S. finalists to host the 2016
Olympics, competition between
California’s two bastions of culture
and commerce (and, let’s admit it,
frequent eccentricity) should heat up.
The first shot across the bow
came, perhaps not unexpectedly,
from San Francisco, given that the
city’s Convention & Visitors Bureau
launched an advertising campaign
just two years ago called “Not in
L.A.”
“I wouldn’t go if it were in L.A.,”
said runner Ron Duncan as he
emerged from the fog surrounding
the picturesque Golden Gate Bridge
on Thursday morning.
“In L.A., you’re in gridlock
already — add the Olympics and it’s
even more unappealing,” the 42year-old electrical engineer reasoned.
Several Angelenos surveyed were
— true to their city’s reputation —
more laid back.
“I don’t want to be labeled as
someone with no civic pride, but I
wouldn’t mind if it were in San
Francisco,” said Chuck E. Weiss,
singer, songwriter and L.A. hipster,
but perhaps always best known as
the inspiration for the hit Rickie Lee
Jones’ song “Chuck E’s in Love.”
Don’t get him wrong, Chuck E.’s
still in love with Los Angeles, but he
wouldn’t mind going on the road this
time to take in the track and field
events that he watched at the Los
Angeles Memorial Coliseum in
1984.
“Either way, man, San Francisco
or L.A.,” Weiss added in his gravelly
growl. “It would give us something
to look forward to.”
Mayor Gavin Newsom has played
up San Francisco’s stature as a city
with an international reputation for
glamour and beauty, and it clearly
has the better nickname. There were
efforts in the 1970s to christen L.A.
the Big Orange, but they went the
same way as the city’s orange trees,
which were plowed under to make
way for houses and shopping malls.
If San Francisco lands the
Olympics, city officials plan to do
some redeveloping of their own,
putting up a new stadium at
Candlestick Point and temporary
housing for athletes at Hunters Point
that would later be turned into apartments and condos.
That latter proposal has at least
one resident of the City of Few
Houses and High Rents singing the
plan’s praises.
“You should want San Francisco
to be like, ‘Whoo!’ — that’s the
place I’m from! I want my city to
win!” said church worker Josiena
Brown as she waited for a bus in
Hunters Point.
For their part, Los Angeles offi-
cials puff up with pride when they
point out they won’t have to build
much of anything — there are still
stadiums, aquatic parks and what’s
left over from the 1932 and 1984
L.A. Olympics.
“We don’t have any big concerns
of having to build a stadium or coliseum just for the Olympics and then,
when it’s done, nobody using it,”
said Darryl Ryan of Los Angeles
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa’s office.
What’s more, he said, most of
those things are clustered in the
city’s downtown core, eliminating
gridlock. He noted that people could
almost walk from the opening ceremonies at the Coliseum to basketball
at the downtown Staples Center to
still other sports at Dodger Stadium.
Of course he left out the rowing
events, which in 1984 took place at
Ventura County’s Lake Piru, more
than 50 miles away.
But don’t worry about gridlock,
said actor and longtime resident S.A.
Griffin. Like millions of others who

Fire threatening power lines 60% contained
Associated Press
MCCLOUD — A lightning-caused
wildfire near the Oregon border was 60
percent contained Saturday, but firefighters worried that wind gusts up to 30
mph could blow the blaze into a series
of major power lines.
“It really depends on what the weather does,” said Mike Giannini, a
spokesman for a team of federal, state
and local firefighters battling the blaze.
“If the weather cooperates, then we’ll be
in better shape. If we get a significant
wind event, there’s an increased possibility it could affect the transmission
lines.”
The blaze, dubbed the Lakin fire, was
burning a half mile east of CaliforniaOregon Transmission Project power
lines and three-quarters of a mile south
of lines used by the Western Area Power
Administration and Pacific Gas &
Electric Co., Giannini said.
The California Independent System
Operator, which manages most of the
state’s power grid, said Friday that it had
contingency plans to reroute electricity
around the transmission lines if they
failed or had to be shut down because of
the fire.
The lines together carry about 4,200
megawatts between Washington’s
Bonneville Power Administration and
California.
More than 300 firefighters were battling the blaze, which had charred 507
acres in mountainous terrain about 200
miles north of Sacramento.
Temperatures were in the 80’s following a heat wave that left much of the
state with triple-digit heat, but firefighters were concerned that winds could
pick up.
“It’s hot, but it’s not as hot as it was,”
Giannini said. “It still presents challenges for firefighters on the lines.”
Firefighters hoped the blaze, about 70
miles northwest of Redding in the
Shasta-Trinity National Forest, would
be fully contained by 6 p.m. Monday.
In Southern California, the size of a
wildfire burning in Los Padres National
Forest was reduced from about 4,500
acres to 2,026 acres after a flyover
allowed a more accurate estimate,
authorities said Saturday.
The three-square-mile blaze was 60
percent contained and crews expected to
fully surround it by Sunday evening,
said Maeton Freel of the U.S. Forest
Service.
“The marine layer came in last night
and set in over the top of the fire and that
helped cool things down,” Freel said.
The Bald fire was one of at least two
dozen caused by lightning in the forest
during the past week. Near the town of
Frazier Park, north of Los Angeles, the
Scott fire charred 736 acres but was
fully contained Saturday.
At the south end of the state, a wildfire in the Cleveland National Forest
was 90 percent surrounded. The fire
about 50 miles east of San Diego was at
16,665 acres, or about 26 square miles.
Another wildfire caused by lightning
in Death Valley National Park was contained after burning 9,280 acres of
desert land.

Climate change, big business top Blair’s agenda in California
Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO —
Promoting Britain’s biotech
businesses will be at the top of
British Prime Minister Tony
Blair’s agenda when he meets
with California’s government
and industry leaders over the
next few days.
It is the first visit to the
state by a sitting British prime
minister, and Blair’s visit
demonstrates how aggressive
his country has become in
courting investment in its
booming high-tech industries.
In particular, Blair is keen
to promote Britain’s commitment to stem cell research,
and will meet with executives
from California’s biotech
companies on Monday.
Blair’s official spokesman
said that a conference on stem
cell research — between
Californian and British
researchers — is planned for
November in Britain.
Britain considers itself a
world leader in stem cell
research, and the government
is providing $186 million for
the industry over the next two
years.
California’s massive economy — the world’s seventh
largest — is cited as the main
reason for the prime minister’s historic trip. Britain
exports $5.2 billion worth of
products to California, and
imports $15 billion in goods
from the state, and Blair
would like to see those figures
balanced.
Blair is also using the visit
as an opportunity to feature
Britain’s commitment to its
$22 billion pharmaceutical
industry. While in California,
the government is releasing a
report that details how legislation enacted in 2005 has
deterred animal rights extrem-

ists, who often focus on the
industry.
On Saturday, Blair is to
attend a reception for business
and community leaders at the
home of George Shultz, the
former Secretary of State. And
on Sunday, Blair is scheduled
to address a meeting of News
International executives, with
his speech focusing on
Britain’s place in the global
economy. Former President
Bill Clinton is expected to
attend, as is Shimon Peres, the
former Israeli prime minister.
Rupert Murdoch’s media
company is extremely influential in British politics, and
the backing of the tabloid
newspaper The Sun has been
crucial for Blair’s Labour
Party.
But Blair is also in
California to highlight his
stance on climate change. He
is expected to discuss the need
to develop cleaner technology
during visits with business
leaders and lawmakers,
including
Gov.
Arnold
Schwarzenegger and Los
Angeles Mayor Antonio
Villaraigosa. In Los Angeles,
Blair is to attend a round-table

either left town, stayed off the highways or changed their work and

events. Some actually took public

impressed by the Olympics banners
plastered all over town, were friendly to one another.
“We could go anywhere, day or
night, that’s how safe it was, and the
freeways were never crowded,” he
recalled. “To this day, I do not understand why the city couldn’t follow
that formula afterward.”
Thus he’d like the Olympics to
return. But, being an L.A. guy, he
could live with it if San Francisco
won.
“Either or. It would just be amazing to have the Olympics here in
California again.”

RUNWAY CLOSE CALL
Near disaster at LA
airport when planes
come close to colliding
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Two
small airliners came dangerously close to each other at
Los Angeles International
Airport this week when the
pilot of an arriving plane mistakenly drove into the path of
a plane that was taking off.
The pilot of the departing
United Express plane pulled
up suddenly to avoid the
America West plane that had
just landed and strayed onto
an inner runway. He cleared
the aircraft by less than 50
feet, according to initial
reports from the control
tower.
The episode began about 4
p.m. Wednesday, after the
America West flight from
Phoenix landed on the airport’s southernmost runway.
Controllers told the pilot to
leave the runway on a taxiway
and stop short of the inner
runway, but the pilot instead
drove onto the inner runway
where the United flight to
Monterey was departing, said
Federal
Aviation
Administration spokeswoman
Laura Brown.
A controller from the tower
yelled into the radio to warn
the United pilot, who later
told authorities he pulled up
early after hearing the warning.
“Traffic
unauthorized
crossing downfield!” the controller shouted.
Brown said the pilot was
“past the point where he could
have stopped.”
Officials blamed the close
call on an error by the
America West pilot, who told
investigators he was confused
when he reached a point on
the taxiway that designated
where he was supposed to
stop and instead continued
forward onto the runway.
An alarm system designed
to alert controllers to potential
collisions was not operating
properly at the time, Brown
said.
It was the second time in
less than a week that a close
call between two aircraft
occurred when the radar system, known as Airport
Movement Area
Safety
System, or AMASS, was not
operating properly.
In Chicago on Sunday, a
departing United Airlines
Boeing 737 came within 300
feet of a Boeing 747 cargo
plane on an intersecting runway at O’Hare International
Airport.

Solar
tions for late-comers slated to
receive funding this year.
The PUC’s return to its
original calculation method
may have been a response to
letters of protest from citizens,
officials and applicants.
“Apparently, this year a lot
of people, including us, found
they were severely limited in
how much solar we could buy
because of the rule change,”
Orenstein said. “We wrote a
letter saying we would be able
to provide only a small percentage of our electrical usage
(with solar installations).
That’s contrary to what the
LOCAL
program is about, which is to
get off dependence on fossil
fuels.”
The same sentiment was
expressed
by
state
Assemblywoman Patty Berg
in a May 10 letter to the PUC
asking for greater support for
Willits’ transition to solar
power.
“For the past year, the City
of Willits, in collaboration
with the Renewable Energy
Institute and local electrical
engineers and renewable energy providers, has been laying
the groundwork for a plan that
would have virtually all civic
operations powered by renewable solar energy,” Berg
wrote. “I am writing in support of the City of Willits’
landmark solar power project
and hope that you will help

this worthy cause by providing the most advantageous
rebate formula.”
For now, the city has taken
one, reluctant step back in its
transition to sustainable energy. A request for a $1.4 million rebate for solar installations at the city’s sewer plant
was withdrawn when the city
questioned its ability to meet
the implementation timeline.
At issue is the stalemate with
regulatory agencies over the
nature of the new treatment
plant.
According to Orenstein,
failure to meet the deadline
would mean loss of the funding but there would be no
return of the required deposit
of one half of one percent of
the projected cost of the system.

The home of Mr. and Mrs. J.

destroyed by fire last Monday
about noon. No one was at
the house at the time
excepting Mrs. Carl Angle,
who was busy getting dinner.
When she noticed the flames
the roof was on fire and she

put the fire out before the

Some of the furniture was

quite a severe blow as there
was no insurance. The fire
started from a defective flue.

His last film, “The

the grant.
“Part of it will be used to
upgrade the computers in the
library and to purchase online
resources
for
quality
research,” she said, noting
that thousands of dollars will
also be spent on books
because the average age of the
collection is 20 years old,
“and because we have six
books per student and the state
average is 13 books per student. Teachers and students
aren’t going to use the
research in the library if they
can’t get current information,”
Holbrook said.
Part of the money will also
be used to pay someone to
develop a Web page and teach
library staff how to maintain
it, she said. “The essential
thing is communication and
the best way right now to
reach students and teachers is
through a Web page,” she
said.
In addition, the high school
library will do outreach with
the public library in an
attempt to encourage students
to get public library cards,
which would increase their
access to materials, and keep
them in the library system
once they leave high school,
Holbrook said.
All of these things will “put
us on an even playing field,
and why shouldn’t Ukiah kids
have the resources they have
in bigger cities,” she said.
There are more programs
and monies available at the
elementary school level for
NOYO THEATRE
literacy programs, according
to Holbrook, who sees high
school as a last chance -- for
students not going on to college -- to develop literacy
skills.
“It’s our last chance to
develop reading and library
and research habits for our
students, because many students don’t go to college but
they still need these skills. I
always tell my kids when they
are doing research that the
skills they are learning now,
even if they don’t go to college, will be needed when
they vote because they need to
read about the issues of the
people and the propositions.
... Part of doing research is to
develop your critical thinking
skills,” she said.
“I love college, but we
want kids who can read and
think regardless if they go,”
Holbrook added.
Asked
why
Hopland
Elementary School didn’t
apply for the same grant for its
library, which was wiped out
in the New Year’s Eve weekend flood, Holbrook said:
“This was not money that
could be applied for from
Hopland because it’s not disaster money; it’s to add to
existing programs,” adding,
“We already had this strong
reading program in place; we
just didn’t have the computers
and the books.”
“The knowledge we get
from books enriches our lives,
and the knowledge of how to
read is the building block for
success in life,” U.S.
Secretary
of
Education
Margaret Spellings said
Wednesday. “In today’s world
it is more important than ever
to have this foundation, and
these grants will help more
children master this critical
skill,” Spellings said.
The Improving Literacy
Through School Libraries
program provides funds to
help schools improve their
library media and address the
reading and other literacy
challenges of their students.
Funds can be used to increase
library holdings, improve
schools’
technological
resources and capabilities,
facilitate Internet links and
other resource-sharing networks, enhance professional
development opportunities
and expand hours of access to
library services. This program
will help improve student

Officials: Suspect in Seattle Jewish
center shooting ambushed 13-year-old
Associated Press
SEATTLE — The man suspected in a fatal shooting rampage hid behind a potted plant
in a Jewish charity’s foyer and
forced his way through a security door by holding a gun to a
13-year-old girl’s head, the
police chief said Saturday.
Once inside, police say,
Naveed Afzal Haq opened fire
with two semiautomatic pistols. One woman, Pam
Waechter, 58, of Seattle was
killed at the scene. Five more
women were wounded.
Haq, 30, was ordered held
on $50 million bail Saturday
pending formal charges of
murder and attempted murder.
Haq, a Muslim, told authorities he was angered by the
war in Iraq and U.S. military
cooperation with Israel.
“He pointedly blamed the
Jewish people for all of these
problems,” Seattle Police
Chief Gil Kerlikowske said at
a news conference Saturday.
According to a statement of
probable cause, Haq told a
911 dispatcher: “These are
Jews and I’m tired of getting
pushed around and our people
getting pushed around by the
situation in the Middle East.”

pregnant belly — helped
bring the crisis to an end by
crawling into her office, calling 911, and convincing her
assailant to talk to dispatchers,
Kerlikowske said.
“She’s a hero in my eyes,”
he said at a news conference.
That woman, Dayna Klein,
37, was hospitalized at
Harborview Medical Center
along with the four others
wounded.
Jewish Federation officials
identified the other wounded
women as Cheryl Stumbo, 43;
Layla Bush, 23; and Carol
Goldman, 35, all of Seattle;
and Christina Rexroad, whose
age and hometown could not
immediately be confirmed.
The 13-year-old girl taken
hostage at the beginning of the
melee was not shot, police
said. When Haq got on the
phone with 911 operators, he
identified himself by name
and said, “This is a hostage
situation and I want these
Jews to get out,” according to
a statement of probable cause.

family friend and a senior
member of a mosque founded
in part by Haq’s father,
described Haq as a quiet loner
with few friends.
In a statement, the Islamic
Center of the Tri-Cities
offered condolences to the
shooting victims and said “we
disassociate this act from our
Islamic
teachings
and
beliefs.”
Seattle police said Haq
picked up the two handguns
and spare ammunition just
days earlier, and appeared to
have targeted the federation
after a cursory Internet search
for Jewish organizations.
He also was stopped shortly before the shootings in
Seattle for a minor traffic
infraction, and was cited and
released, Kerlikowske said.
Haq had a valid driver’s
license and his actions did not
raise any suspicion, the chief
said.

Look Good...Feel Better class
series to begin Aug. 14
Sign up now for “Look Good... Feel Better”,
a free class for women whose appearance has
been affected by cancer treatments.
The class offers an opportunity to meet with
volunteer cosmetologists and other cancer
patients to learn to use styling and skin care
techniques to overcome the appearance-related
effects of chemotherapy and radiation. “On top
of the very real physical and emotional concerns of cancer itself, the side effects of treatment can be devastating to a woman’s selfesteem,” recalls volunteer Lisa Mace. “In her
mirror she sees someone she doesn’t even
know.”
Patients who have participated in “Look
Good...Feel Better” call the program an emotional lifesaver because it returns them to a
sense of normalcy.
Classes are free, with new sessions offered
on the second Monday of each month from 10
a.m. to noon at the American Cancer Society
office, 115 E. Smith St., Ukiah. The next class
is on Aug. 14. Call 462-7642 x 3 to reserve

Today is the 211th day of 2006 and the
40th day of summer.
TODAY’S
HISTORY:
In
1965,
President Lyndon B. Johnson signed a bill
establishing Medicare.
In 1974, the House of Representatives
voted to recommend the third article of
impeachment against President Nixon.
In 1975, former Teamsters Union president Jimmy Hoffa disappeared from suburban Detroit.

In the year ahead, there is
a strong possibility you
might establish a largerthan-life objective for yourself, something you wouldn’t have dared to dream previously. If you’ve done the
research and know you’re
ready, goals can be attainable.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - If you attend a gathering,
be careful what subjects you
make the topics of conversation. There’s a possibility
you could let something out
of the bag or wrong an innocent person.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22) -- Should your friends
want to become involved in
something you feel is far too
rich for your wallet, don’t
hesitate to speak up and beg
off. It’s better to be bold
than broke.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.
23) -- Stop and think and
evaluate the consequences
of your words before speaking out on something that is
disturbing you. Even if
you’re right, you may lose a
friend proving your point.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
22) -- This is not a good day
to debate controversial
issues because it isn’t likely
either you or your adversaries will resolve issues
that some of the best minds
you know aren’t up to settling.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.
23-Dec. 21) -- Someone you
do not know well might try
to take advantage of your
good nature and desire to
accommodate by requesting
something that could catch
you off guard. Be ready to
say no.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19) -- Before you
blindly accept the words of
another as fact, it would be
wise to analyze what this

Schwarzenegger
(1947-),
actor/California governor, is 59; Lisa
Kudrow (1963-), actress, is 43; Hilary
Swank (1974-), actress, is 32.
TODAY’S SPORTS: In 1976, American
Bruce Jenner won the gold medal in the
decathlon, breaking the world record at the
person says and try to determine the value of the information. It may be worthless.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 19) -- You’ll lose a new
admirer, especially if you
treat someone in a condescending manner because
you don’t think you need
this person’s approval. It’ll
be your loss, not this
his/hers.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March
20) -- That generosity
you’re so famous for is
admirable, but think twice
before loaning anything of
value to someone about
whom you know little. This
person could be taking
advantage of you.
ARIES (March 21-April
19) -- Domestic harmony is
likely to prevail when it
comes to larger issues, but it
will be those petty, trivial
controversies that could
cause a flare-up. Don’t get
bogged down with nonsense.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20) -- If you tell tales about
another based solely on
hearsay information and not
on personal knowledge, you
may regret it later when it’s
too late to take back the
damage. Don’t gossip.
GEMINI (May 21-June
20) -- Unless you’re cognizant of how much you’re
spending, you could wipe
out your spare cash in a
hurry. It won’t be anything
big; it’ll be all the little
ways you waste money.
CANCER (June 21-July
22) -- Know exactly what
you want in explicit terms
before issuing directives to
your family or else you
might tell them to do one
thing but expect them to do
something totally different.

“Hmmm, that looks comfy.” Sue

you might mistake it for a particularly cruel horse trough. Maybe the
rose petals are there to lure alien
life forms, because certainly no
human will ever sit and soak in that
tub. How would you clean it?
Sandblast the soap ring?
If the tub was harsh, the sink
looked as if it came from the
Country Club Prison Collection. It
was a stainless-steel basin that jutted from the wall with no visible
plumbing that could be used as a
weapon in an escape attempt. The
toilet, we decided, came from the
future. It looked like one of those
Village

Tour de France bicycle seats. At
first glance, you wouldn’t quite
know whether to sit on it or to feed
it ants.
As I looked at the picture all I
could think was “These guys don’t
have kids.” I don’t even think they
know rational adults. There were
no wet towels lying across the tub;
there were no half-squeezed tubes
of toothpaste on the sink; there
were no nail clippers, brushes or
combs in sight. Absolutely nothing
indicated human habitation. There
was no trashcan with the strand of

dental floss hanging down the side;
there were no bottles of prescription medicines scattered about.
There were no towels that showed
their age; there were no bottles of
deodorant or cologne visible, no
lipstick, mascara, mouthwash. Who
lives here? Robbie the Robot?
What does he need a toilet for?
Home design magazines call
themselves “shelter” magazines,
now. I wonder if that’s how the editors talk to each other at dinner parties.
“Nice shelter you’ve got here,
Bob. Who does the rose petals in
your bathtub? My guy quit, I’m
looking for someone. By the way,
have you got any Band-Aids? I cut
my hand on your tub, but I couldn’t
find the medicine cabinet. Oh, the
medicine cabinet is the thing made
out of razorwire. I thought that was
a towel rack. You’re so right, it
probably does keep people from
snooping.”
I go through shelter magazines
now not looking for the latest
trends in furniture or window treatments, but for signs of life. You see
the ultra-modern living room, all
white and glass with sharp corners.
Does it say “Cool sophistication”
or “No kids, no pets, no friends?”
Can you imagine having people
over for beer and pizza in this
joint? Can you see mom changing a
baby’s diaper on a white Italian
leather sofa while she’s watching
“Ellen?”
You never see a purse plopped
down on the hallway table; you
never see a newspaper folded over
to the sports section; you never see
a sweater hanging over the back of
a chair; you never see shoes and
socks in front of the TV set; you
never see pictures and cartoons
attached to the refrigerator door
with magnets.
More local news than
any other source
If there were a contest to find
these ten items pictured in an entire
issue of a design magazine, no one
would win. A stack of junk mail, a
set of car keys, a branded bottle of
dish soap a kitchen counter, mismatched pots, refrigerator magnets,
an open bag of lime-flavored taco
chips, a random pile of notes and
messages beside a phone, a bed
table with a jumble of books, BenGay, moisturizer with vitamin E
and reading glasses on it, a messy
cat or dog dish on the kitchen floor
-- some ugly thing that a relative
gave them that they hate, but display anyway just to keep peace in
the family. I suppose when company comes we could just dump it all
in the jagged, square tub.

Hot cooktop picks
By the Editors of Consumer
Reports
Separating the cooktop
from the oven puts both these
kitchen appliances closer to
eye level than they might otherwise be in an all-in-one
range. That can spare the iron
chef in you from -- among
other things -- having to bend
excessively when basting.
But while you can pay dearly for some cooktops and wall
ovens -- and get better design
and more features in the bargain -- our tests have found
that they don’t necessarily outperform their less-expensive
counterparts. And our repair
histories -- gathered from the
real-world experiences of
Consumer Reports readers -show that spending more for
pricier appliances doesn’t
guarantee better reliability.
Indeed, some of the most costly brands -- such as Dacor,
Jenn-Air, Thermador and
Viking -- were relatively
repair-prone.
Still, our tests of cooktops
and wall ovens found several
that stood out for their performance, value and reliability.
If you’re considering dual
appliances, look first to the
Consumer reports ✔
source of heat in your cooktop.
Electric models are faster at
heating and better at simmering than gas, but they take
longer to cool down when you
change the setting. A third
type, induction, operates by
passing electricity through
magnetic elements located
under the cooktop’s glass surface. The elements heat just
the pot and remain relatively
cool. Yet induction models
typically cost two to three
times as much as mainstream
gas or electric cooktops. And
though they offer faster heating, flawless simmering, rapid
response to temperature
changes and burners that shut
off automatically when you
remove the pot, the technology’s reliability is unproven.
When shopping for a wall
oven, decide if you want convection cooking. With this feature -- common among wall
ovens, not so on ranges -- a fan
circulates hot air, so you can
bake and roast at lower temperatures and for shorter
times. Most wall ovens with
convection automatically convert these differences for you.
A drawback to convection:
The fan eats up space.
Of our three stand-out electric ovens (electrics are more
capacious and easier to install
than gas models), two incorporate convection cooking. The
GE Profile JT915WF ($1,500)
and the Maytag MEW6530DD
($1,100) did very well in our
baking and broiling tests. For
the higher price, the GE
Profile features a covered bottom heating element. Lacking
that and convection, the GE
JTP20WF ($850) also sacrifices some baking performance, but adds capacity.
Among 30-inch electric
cooktops, the Electrolux Icon
E30EC65E ($1,200) got high
marks for cooking and convenience, though the reliability
of this relatively new brand is
unknown. Scoring slightly
lower overall, the Kenmore
4273 includes a powerful
3,000-watt element, features
faster heating on high and carries a proven reliability record.
That and its $550 price tag
make the Kenmore a CR Best
Buy. Another stand-out model,
the Maytag MEC5430BD
($600) has single elements for
high- and low-power heating,
and two for moderate heat.
(The Kenmore has no medium-power elements, but two
each for high heat and low
heat.)
The 36-inch gas cooktops
we tested have more burners
(typically five) for making
bigger meals. Standouts here
are
the
GE
Profile
JGP975WEK ($1,200) and the
Maytag MGC6536BD (at
$750, it’s a CR Best Buy).
Both have continuous grates -they make it easier to support
large pans or griddles and slide
pots around -- while the GE
Profile features two high-powered burners to the Maytag’s
one.
The Maytag MGC6536BD
gas cooktop isn’t available in
stainless steel, but many other
cooktops and wall ovens we
rated can be had with this popular and stylish feature for an
additional $150 to $300. As
well, some companies offer
ovens with glass-covered front
panels.
Giving credit for too good an idea
Q: Yesterday, I went to the post office
intending to use my credit card. On the
back of my card, on the signature slot, I
had written in, “Verify my identity by
examining driver’s license.” The clerk
refused to look at my driver’s license,
and he refused to accept my credit card
because it was not signed. I tried to reason with him, pointing out identity fraud,
credit fraud, etc., but he was adamant that
my card needed to be signed in order for
me to be able to use it. So I left without
the stamps I had planned to purchase. I
am sure this is not a postal service policy
because I used my unsigned credit card at
another store and had no problem. I
intend to call the local postmaster and
query him as to why the clerk would not
accept my card.
A: I don’t know where you got the
idea of writing what you wrote on your
card. It’s a clever idea -- too clever! The
fact that other clerks have honored the
request does not mean they were correct
to do so. Remember: Clerks are at the
lowest point on the retail chain. They
make minimum wage and often get little
training. They do what they’re told, and
they take the path of least resistance.
So, you encountered some who honored your request, and I bet they did so
simply because they didn’t know any better. You eventually ran into someone who
was better trained -- no wonder that person was a postal clerk (such clerks typically are much better trained than the
cashiers you find in mall stores). The post
office worker was correct in denying
your card. Other vendors who accepted
your card did so in error (my bet is that
they didn’t bother looking at the signature slot). Signing the card is important
for three reasons:
1. By signing it, you agree to the card’s
terms and conditions.
2. Having your signature on the card
allows the clerk to compare it to the sales
slip that you sign in his/ her presence;
matching the signature (which all clerks
are supposed to do) helps prevent crooks
from using the card.
3. Signing the card prevents other people from signing it. It’s common for people to forget to sign, but failing to do so
can help crooks steal your identity. Your
Truth about
money
By Ric Edelman
strategy does not work, if only because a
crook could just as easily have a fake driver’s license as a fake credit card. Does
your driver’s license tell people to verify
its legitimacy by looking at your birth
certificate? This daisy chain could go on
forever!
So although I understand your intentions; what you’ve done could actually
hurt your cause, not help. Because you no
longer can sign the card (you’ve filled the
space with irrelevant information), ask
your credit card company to issue you a
new card. When you get it, sign it. And
when you call the postmaster, compliment the postal worker for doing a good
job.
Q: Our oldest child would like to
apply to a private high school. Although
this is out of our $ league, we encouraged
him to apply. We need your help in
understanding the financial aid process.
After receiving the forms from the
School and Student Service for Financial
Aid (SSS), some underlying questions
linger:
1) They want to know how much we
spend on vacation. I say “What vacation?
We do not go on one.” My husband
thinks they want to know how much we
spend since they would not want us to
live on less than we already are.
2) Why do they want to know how
much we spend on camps and lessons for
our kids, but do not care how much we
give to our church and other charities?
3) Why do they want to know the
property value of our home and the total
property insurance coverage? Do they
expect us to sell it to pay for school?
4) Why do they care about annual club
dues?
5) Why do they want to know the
value of our life insurance policies? Is
this to pay for school if a spouse dies?
Are they looking for items that are unnecessary and can be eliminated, or do they
want to get an idea how a family lives?
My husband remembers a family that
had a beach house, mortgaged to the hilt,
who received financial aid. While his
father, a government employee, lived
within his means, saved but received
nothing. While we want to be up-front
regarding our financial status, we also
realize there are certain tactics to be
employed to receive financial aid and
would like our application reviewed
favorably. What is the best way to “shelter” money so that a family of six, earning $100,000, doesn’t pay $20,000/year
for school?
A: About all I can say is this: If you’re
indignant over the process for obtaining
HIGH SCHOOL financial aid, just wait
until you have to deal with COLLEGE.
You ain’t seen nuthin’ yet. You will
eventually discover that you cannot
change the system, and fighting it will
merely cost you time, money and aggravation -- as well as reduce the likelihood
that your child will get aid. So, get over
it, and answer the questions.
By saying that, I do not mean to
endorse the financial aid process -- far
from it. Actually, I agree with you that it
is unconscionable that the system
rewards people who squander their
wealth while penalizing those who carefully manage the assets and income they
have. But that’s a political question, and
no amount of expressed indignation or
challenge will alter the reality you face.
I’ll add this: The reason the system doesn’t change is because the only people
who express anger over it are those going
through it; social and political change
does not come until those not directly
affected also stand up and fight.
I’ll just say this: If you still wish to be
considered for financial aid, answer the
questions and hope for the best. Forget
about strategies to improve your ability
to qualify for aid because most don’t
work, and almost all of them have
adverse economic and ethical implications. Finally, tell your child that if aid is
not forthcoming, he will not go to private
school because, as you said in your first
sentence, you can’t afford it.

The great
cucumber challenge
For weeks now, I’ve been doing battle in my garden. It’s me
against the cucumbers. So far we’re running a dead heat, but
that could change soon if this hot summer weather continues.
I’ve picked, sliced and pickled, gifted, pawned-off and even
begged friends and colleagues to participate in this harvest.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m not complaining, if for no other reason than my cukes have given me lots to write about. And my
search continues for great ways to use these delicious gardenfresh cucumbers. Check out my latest finds.
Tzatziki Sauce
2 (8-ounce) containers plain yogurt
2 cucumbers, peeled, seeded and diced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 lemon, juiced
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
3 cloves garlic, peeled
In a food processor or blender, combine all ingredients and
process until well combined. Transfer to a separate dish, cover
and refrigerate for at least one hour for best flavor. Use this
yummy dressing for gyros or Greek salad. It also makes a nice
dipping sauce for veggies.

Many thanks to Brenda Ponichtera, registered dietitian and
friend of this column, for coming to my aid with the following
refreshing and nutritious summertime soup, which calls for
fresh cucumbers and tomatoes. Stop at a farmer’s market and
buy fresh produce if you don’t have a garden. The flavor of
fresh, right-from-the-garden fruits and veggies is hard to beat.
One serving is a good source of fiber. Optional ingredients
are not included in the nutritional analysis.
Gazpacho
This is a cold soup, and it is wonderful when tomatoes and
cucumbers are in season. The fresh cilantro is a must. Use a
food processor or blender to simplify this recipe.
1 large cucumber, unpeeled, quartered
2 medium tomatoes, quartered
1 green bell pepper, quartered
1 medium onion, quartered
3 cups tomato juice, divided (see Cook’s note)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (optional)
1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
dash cayenne pepper
Optional toppings:
1/2 to 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
nonfat sour cream or nonfat plain yogurt
Cook’s note: Sodium is figured for reduced salt.
In a blender or food processor, combine the cucumber, tomatoes, green pepper, onion and 1-1/2 cups of the tomato juice.
Process the ingredients until mixture is still chunky. Mix in
remaining ingredients. Chill thoroughly.
Serve in small bowls topped with cilantro and sour cream or
yogurt.

PUZZLE ANSWERS
Life insurance for grandkids? Not a good idea
DEAR BRUCE: We received an
offer in the mail from an insurance company to provide whole life insurance for
our grandchildren. Based on the child’s
age, the monthly premiums were affordable and guaranteed to never increase.
What do you think of whole life insurance? -- S.D., via e-mail
DEAR S.D.: I have no problem with
whole life insurance in circumstances
where it is the appropriate purchase, but
I don’t believe insurance on your grandchildren is necessary under any circumstance. The reason whole-life-insurance
premiums on young children are so
small is that the mortality rate, once
children have survived delivery, is so
low in this country as to happily not be

a major factor. Unless you are talking
about a very small burial policy, it is not
a justifiable expense, in my opinion.
Life-insurance premiums for a child can
be much better spent.
If you want to do something for your
grandchildren with that amount of
money, purchasing shares of stock
would be a far better choice, in my view.

DAILY JOURNAL
Among other things, you’ll perhaps
excite an interest in them to learn more
about the investments when they are of
an age to understand. And very likely,
the investments will be worth a lot more
than the value of the insurance.
At the risk of being redundant, I
believe life insurance on children -- an
exception would be incorporation into a
family policy -- is not a good way to
spend money.

Ask the Guys
Dear Classified Guys,
I'm hoping you can help me settle an
argument before it happens. My Dad
has always insisted that you should
never buy a used car without having
a professional mechanic inspect and
test drive it, even if you have to pay a
fee. I, on the other hand, am much
more confident that I can evaluate it
on my own. I mean, who can't take it
for a test drive, test all the features,
check the shocks and kick the tires.
After all, it's just a car and I know
how to drive. I'm planning on buying
a used car on my own, but if anything
goes wrong with it, I can only
imagine I'll never hear the
end of it. Can you give me
some tips for buying a
good car and keeping Dad
from saying, "I told you so"?
• • •
Cash: We can offer you suggestions
on buying a used car, but as for your
Dad's "I told you so", I'm afraid you're
on your own.
Carry: Murphy's Law says that if
something can go wrong, it will, which
is probably why your Dad insists on
being extra cautious. It's also possible
that he's had a poor buying experience
in the past and is simply trying to protect you from a similar mistake.
Duane “Cash” Holze
& Todd “Carry” Holze

©2006 The Classified Guys®
Cash: Having an experienced
mechanic look at a car can be a good
idea, especially if you're not confident
in your skills or unsure of the sale. In
your case though, it seems you'd like to
do this on your own.
Carry: It's important to note that just
because you know how to drive, it
doesn't mean you know everything
about inspecting a used car. However,
the process isn't that complicated either.
Cash: Before you even go look at
car, do some research. Read a few
reviews of the model you're interest in
and get acquainted with its pros and
cons. Cars of a particular model or
year often have similarities in repairs or
complaints. Knowing that information
ahead of time can tell you which areas
to investigate when you go for your test
drive.
Carry: Most importantly, if you're
buying the car from a private party, be
sure to talk with the actual owner of the
vehicle and not a third party. There's
no one better than the owner to tell you
how it was driven, maintained and
cared for.
Cash: And once you do find that
perfect car, be sure to drop by your
Dad's house. We're sure he'll be proud
of your accomplishment.
Fast Facts

Going Slow
If you're buying a used car, here are a
few simple things to check for under
the hood. First, check for corrosion
around the battery terminals and the age
of the battery to see if it needs replacing. Then, pull out the oil dipstick and
see if the oil is dirty or black, a sign that
maintenance could have been neglected. For automatic transmissions, pull
the transmission dipstick and make sure
the fluid looks clean. Transmission
fluid that is black or smells burnt is a
signal to walk away from the sale.
As a police officer, I often have to
pull drivers over for speeding.
However, my last stop was an older
woman traveling way too slow on
the highway.
When I stopped her car, she
explained that she just started driving again since her husband had
died. After 30 years of not driving,
she was being very careful to drive
at the posted speed limit of "25".
Immediately I realized her mistake and explained that she was confusing the signs.
"25 is the route number," I clarified. "Not the speed limit."
"Oh that's not good," she replied,
"because I just got off Route 90."
Consider This
Most new vehicles depreciate quickly
in their first few years, so buying a used
car can result in you owning a betterequipped model than you could have
afforded new. In years past, buying a
used car may have been considered
risky business. However, today's vehicles are built more reliable than ever.
It's common to hear of some cars or
trucks lasting more than 200,000 miles.
With that kind of lifespan, it's no wonder more than 40 million used cars
change hands every year.

Public Notice - Ukiah Municipal Airport,
Ukiah, California. Ukiah Air Attack
Base Relocation Project.
The California Department of Forestry and
Fire Protection (CDF), with assistance from
the Department of General Services – Real
Estate Services Division (DGS – RESD), are
announcing the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) pursuant to the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
for the relocation of the Ukiah Air Attack Base
(UAAB) in Mendocino County, CA. CDF is the
Lead Agency under CEQA and will be conducting a Public Scoping Meeting/Workshop
to present project information to members of
the public. Following the presentation, Project Team Members will be available for questions and comments on the proposed project.
The State Department of General Services
(DGS) is designing the project and preparing
the environmental studies on behalf of CDF.
Public Scoping Meeting: The public scoping
meeting will be conducted from 4:00 to 6:00
p.m. on Tuesday, August 8, 2006 at the Ukiah
Municipal Air por t, Air por t Administration
Building, 1403 South State Street, Ukiah.
Project Location: The proposed project is located in Mendocino County, within the City of
Ukiah. The project area consists of approximately 9 acres of land in the southeast corner
of the Ukiah Municipal Airport.
Project Description: The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CDF)
proposes to lease approximately 9 acres of
land in the southeast corner of the Ukiah Municipal Airport for the relocation of its existing
Air Attack Base facilities. The site has been
designated for Ukiah Air Attack Base (UAAB)
use by the City of Ukiah. The site is directly
adjacent to an existing runway and has been
previously disturbed. Current Base facilities
are located within the west central portion of
the Ukiah Municipal Airport. The proposed
project is designed to be a replacement for
the existing Base with facility upgrades to provide safer and more efficient operations. Proposed facilities to be located within the new
lease area include a 4,200-square-foot air operations building with an elevated dispatch
area; a 3,200-square-foot warehouse/shop
building; a 2,900-square-foot aircraft hangar;
a fire retardant mixing, storage, and loading
facility; a taxiway; an air attack parking pad;
four aircraft retardant-loading areas; a 150square-foot hazardous materials building to
contain the same materials as present (aircraft maintenance supplies and normal
household supplies for cleaning the facility);
an observation area; new water, sewer, electrical, and phone lines; a spill pond; and sidewalks. The new UAAB would be accessed by
a new driveway that would intersect Airport
Road on the east side of the project area,
west of the California Nor thern Railroad
tracks. Site work needed for the new facilities
would include site grading, asphalt paving, installing larger power lines with utility tie-ins,
landscaping, and fencing.
Public Review Period: The Notice of Preparation is being circulated for public review and
comment for a period of 30 days beginning
July 25, 2006.
Copies of Notice of Preparation: Copies of
the Notice of Preparation for the DEIR are
available for review at the following locations:
