Legislature approves record public works spending plan
Chesbro looking
for parks money
By Associated Press and Daily
Journal reports
Chesbro
SACRAMENTO — State lawmakers early Friday approved a
series of bills that would place a
record public works spending plan
before voters in November, reviving
a proposal that had broad public support but failed to pass the Legislature
earlier this year.
The $37.3 billion package would
be the largest bond issue in
California history and now goes to
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The governor, who proposed an
even larger spending plan in January,
called the votes in each house “a
landmark accomplishment that will
yield benefits for generations to
come.”
“For the first time in a generation,
we are making a real investment in
our state’s future,” he said in a statement issued shortly before 3:30 a.m.
Friday, after the votes in the
Assembly sent the bills to his desk.
“This bond package represents the
opportunity of a lifetime to make significant investments we can make in
California’s aging infrastructure,”
said North Coast Sen. Wes Chesbro
(D-Arcata).. “The funds in these
bonds will be critical in addressing
the problems our State is facing from

Community Parks and Recreation site where rodeo grounds, a Grange hall and a park will be built.
Potter Valley building a future
The Daily Journal
Two years ago, a group of leaders
from the Potter Valley community
met to revive interest in Potter Valley
Grange No. 115, which held its first
meeting in 1873. In its heyday, the
PV Grange had provided programs
for youth and community leadership,
spearheaded fundraising for community events and scholarships and provided a central meeting hall for the
community’s use.
Another local organization, the
Potter Valley Expo and Rodeo, has
organized and sponsored the annual
rodeo, parade and community events
on various leased properties since the
early 1970s. The organization had
recently begun discussions about
locating permanent facilities to allow
for better structures and year-round
recreation for the community.
Meanwhile, about a year ago,
Mendocino County authorized developing a Community Action Plan for
Potter Valley. After a series of seven
meetings, the top priority identified
by the community was the development of a central town area in which
community organizations and programs could be located together.
The vision was bringing the Potter
Valley Grange Hall, the Potter Valley
Rodeo Grounds and the Potter Valley
Youth Community Center all to one
location and adding a community
park. The idea is to have a safe
recreation place for youth, and place
See BOND, Page 14
for community meetings, cultural
events and other community-building
activities.
That’s when the Potter Valley
Community Parks and Recreation
organization was born. An “organization of organizations,” its membership includes the Grange, the Rodeo
Committee and members of the public.
As timing would have it, the perfect property in size, and in a central
location in Potter Valley came on the
market in late 2005. The new parks
and rec group bought the 23-acre
parcel - now a vineyard - and is
looking forward to renovating it for

Tuesday night’s Ukiah
Unified School District board
meeting will include reports
from three elementary school
principals in favor of adopting
mandatory uniform policies.
Nokomis School Principal,
Bryan Barrett, Oak Manor
principal, Joy Tucker, and
Hopland
Elementary
Principal, Jeanne Yttreness
will present to the board the
results of parent surveys as
well as the minutes from
school site council meetings
reflecting the sentiments of the
school communities regarding
the issue.
Tucker, in a recent letter to
UUSD Superintendent Ray
Chadwick, said a uniform survey was sent home with her
students in April. The results
of the survey were 104 to 89 in
favor of the uniforms, she
said.
A similar survey sent home
with Hopland Elementary
School students, showed 21 of
40 people who answered were
in favor of the uniforms,
Yttreness stated in a separate
letter to Chadwick. Since only
40 out of 155 people responded to the Hopland survey, a
second survey was just sent
out.
Grace Hudson and Frank
Zeek Elementary Schools
already have mandatory uniform programs in place.
High school project
Setbacks with the high
school modernization project
will also be addressed at
Tuesday night’s meeting.
The board will be asked to
consider a schedule change in
Phase I of the renovation of
the high school, according to
Steve Turner, UUSD director
of maintenance and transportation.
Due to scheduling conflicts
with the company producing
the modular buildings that will
be used as temporary housing
for the students during the renovation, the buildings won’t
be ready until after schools
starts. Since the modulars
won’t be available for student
use until after school starts, it
delays the work on all of the
industrial arts buildings on the
west side of the campus until
January, Turner said.
This could impact the
industrial
arts
program
because the students would
occupy temporary housing
during the second semester
when they typically would be
working on projects in the
shops.
Dual Language
Immersion Program
Grace Hudson Elementary
School
Principal
Diana
Davidson will provide the
board with an update regarding kindergarten enrollment
and an overview of the Dual
Language
Immersion
Program, including student
performance and feedback
from parents.
Davidson has indicated
there is sufficient interest in
the Dual Language Immersion
Program to fill four kindergarten classes.
Last year the board
approved the addition of a
third kindergarten class to the
Dual Language Immersion
Program at Grace Hudson.
The UUSD board meeting will
be held Tuesday at the district
office, 925 North State Street.
Open session begins at 6:30
p.m.

Grand jury: Work program needed at J.Hall Wine vote lagging
By BEN BROWN
The Daily Journal
A limited work program
instituted
through
the
Mendocino County Juvenile
Hall would be beneficial to
juvenile inmates and would
reduce the cost of operations
for juvenile hall which already
functions on a limited budget,
according to findings from the
Mendocino County Grand
Jury.
The grand jury also found
that parent repayments for the
cost of juvenile hall stays are
not always collected and that
funding for mandatory bilingual training for staff isn’t
there.
At present there is no work
program available for the court
to refer juvenile defendants to,
although a previous program
was effective and beneficial to
inmates according to the grand
jury’s findings. The program
would cost $70,000 in the
Ukiah Valley and $280,000 in
the county and could be operational within three weeks of
being funded.
The juvenile hall had 681
bookings in 2005, the majority
were booked for alcohol and
drug related offenses or property crimes. Many inmates,
roughly 75 percent, were
booked for probation violations, mostly related to drug
and alcohol offenses.
Juvenile hall has capacity
for 43 inmates, and the average
daily count was 41. The cost to
the county, per inmate, to keep
someone in juvenile hall is
about $160 per day.
The cost is slightly offset by
the parents of inmates, who are
required to pay $15 per day
towards the cost of their child’s
incarceration, to a maximum
amount of $750 per stay. Only
30 percent of this money is
ever actually collected according to the report.
Generally, juveniles were
sentenced to one year in juvenile hall. Those sentenced to
more than one year usually
serve their time at a California
Youth Authority facility.
Approximately three inmates
per year are transferred to that
facility.
Turnover was found to be
low among the staff at juvenile
hall and two members of the
staff are bilingual in Spanish
and English. However, funds
for the mandated training of
future hires were insufficient to
the task, the grand jury found.
Educational opportunities
were available at juvenile hall,
as well as recovery programs
for alcohol and drugs. The
West Hills School, operated
through
the
Mendocino
County Office of Education,
provides the opportunity for
inmates to earn a high school
diploma or GED and earn college credit.
The grand jury commended
juvenile hall staff and administration for their commendable
work in the face of budget constraints.
The report now goes to the
Mendocino County Board of
Supervisors, the Mendocino
County Juvenile Hall facility
manager, the Mendocino
County chief probation officer
and the Mendocino County
Juvenile Court judge review
and response.

The California Department of Food and Agriculture
announced that only 27 percent of the ballots sent to
Mendocino grape growers to vote on the Mendocino Wine
Grape and Wine Commission have been returned.
In order for the votes to be counted, CDFA needs a minimum 40 percent turnout from grape growers and winemakers. CDFA has already received 41.8 percent of the ballots
sent to winemakers.
If 40 percent of ballots from both groups are not returned
to CDFA by May 12 the vote will not be considered valid
and the vote will have to be extended for an additional 30
days.
If approved, the commission will have the authority to
assess the wine industry in the county and preform the necessary research and development to improve it, said John
Enquist, executive director of the Mendocino County
Winegrowers Alliance.
The commission will also have the authority to collect
the necessary funds from winemakers and grape growers to
promote Mendocino County wines.
If the requisite votes are received and the commission is
approved CDFA will oversee the nomination and election of
the board of directors.

The world briefly
CIA Director
Porter Goss resigns
WASHINGTON (AP) —
CIA Director Porter Goss
resigned unexpectedly Friday,
nudged from the helm of a spy
agency still reeling from intelligence
failures
before
America’s worst terrorist
attack and faulty information
that formed the U.S. rationale
for invading Iraq.
The decision was the latest
in a series of moves by
President Bush to shake up his
team and reinvigorate his second term. A successor to Goss
could come as early as
Monday, a senior administration official said.
Among those talked about
as possible candidates were
Bush’s homeland security
adviser, Frances Fragos
Townsend; David Shedd,
chief of staff to National
Intelligence Director John
Negroponte,
and
Mary
Margaret
Graham,
Negroponte’s deputy for intelligence collection.
Neither Bush nor Goss
offered a reason for his departure.
Making the announcement
from the Oval Office, Bush
said Goss’ tenure had been
one of transition.
Rep. Patrick
Kennedy to enter
drug rehab
WASHINGTON (AP) —
Rep. Patrick Kennedy said
Friday he was entering treatment for addiction to prescription pain medication, a decision made after a highly publicized car crash near the
Capitol that the congressman
said he cannot recall.
Kennedy, D-R.I., said he
would seek immediate treatment at the Mayo Clinic in
Rochester, Minn.
He announced his decision
to reporters at a Capitol Hill
news conference. He walked
in alone, gripped the lectern,
cleared his throat and began
haltingly.
Kennedy, who has struggled with addiction and
depression, said he had
checked into the Mayo Clinic
over the Christmas holidays
and returned to Congress
“reinvigorated and healthy.”
“Of course, in every recovery, each day has its ups and
downs, but I have been strong,
focused and productive since
my return,” Kennedy said.
Feds to retry man
accused of lying to
FBI
SACRAMENTO, Calif.
(AP) — Federal prosecutors
will retry an ice cream vendor
on charges that he lied to the
FBI about his son’s attendance
at a terrorist training camp,
authorities announced Friday.
Umer Hayat’s first trial
ended with the jury deadlocked last month. The same
day, a separate jury convicted
his son, Hamid Hayat, of supporting terrorism by attending
an al-Qaida camp in Pakistan.
U.S. District Court Judge
Garland E. Burrell Jr. set June
5 to begin selecting a new jury
for the father’s retrial.
“This case is simply too
serious to walk away after one
hung jury,” Assistant U.S.
Attorney Larry Brown said
Friday as he left the courthouse.
Brown said prosecutors
interviewed jurors in the first
trial, and found that “there
FUNERAL NOTICES
was not a lot of dispute about
whether or not Umer Hayat
lied to the FBI. Still, there
were some jurors who looked
down upon the investigative
techniques that were used by
agents.”
Government,
main rebels sign
peace accord
ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) —
Thanks in part to last-minute
U.S. diplomacy, two years of
Darfur peace talks beset by
setbacks and frustration ended
with a signing ceremony
between the government and
the largest rebel faction
Friday.
Now the hard part: ensuring pledges to stop the fighting and begin rebuilding
translate to an end to Darfur’s
suffering. The key may be a
robust U.N. peacekeeping
force, which Sudan’s government has indicated it is now
willing to accept.
While the main Darfur
rebel group signed the accord,
two others rejected it, saying it
did not go far enough to meet
their demands for security and
power-sharing guarantees and
compensation for war victims.
Optimism was muted by the
two groups’ absence and by a
history of failure to live up to
agreements.
Members of the fractious
rebel camp are united in
accusing Sudan’s central government of neglecting their
impoverished western region,
but divided because of leadership rivalries and differing
approaches.
The peace deal was backed
by the African Union, the
United States, Britain, the
European Union and the Arab
League. It calls for a ceasefire, disarmament of militias
linked to the government and
accused of some of the war’s
worst atrocities, the integration of thousands of rebel
fighters into Sudan’s armed
forces and a protection force
for civilians in the immediate
aftermath of the war.
Tony Blair shakes
up cabinet
after losses
LONDON (AP) — Stung
by an election defeat, Tony
Blair shuffled his Cabinet on
Friday and replaced Foreign
Secretary Jack Straw in an
attempt to save his own political future and shore up support to tackle crises in Iran
and Iraq.
Straw
had
privately
expressed doubts about the
Iraq war to his boss and publicly took a different stance on
Iran. He described military
action against Tehran as
“inconceivable,” something
neither Blair nor President
Bush would say, and called
reports that the Bush administration has contingency plans
for a tactical nuclear strike
“nuts.”
Margaret Beckett, a Blair
loyalist who has been serving
as environment secretary,
takes over the Foreign Office,
becoming Britain’s first
female foreign secretary.
Blair’s official spokesman
said the change did not mean a
shift in foreign policy.
Two ministers at the center
of a series of recent government woes were also fired or
demoted.
But critics said it is Blair
himself who should step aside
after voters deserted his
Labour Party in local council
elections Thursday. The

New autopsy
finds Fla. teen
was suffocated
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — A 14year-old boy kicked and
punched by guards at a juvenile boot camp died because
the sheriff’s officials suffocated him, a medical examiner
said Friday, contradicting a
colleague who blamed the
death on a usually benign
blood disorder.
“Martin Anderson’s death
was caused by suffocation due
to actions of the guards at the
boot camp,” said Dr. Vernard
Adams, who conducted the
second autopsy.
Adams said the suffocation
was caused by hands blocking
the boy’s mouth, as well as the
“forced inhalation of ammonia fumes” that caused his
vocal cords to spasm, blocking his upper airway.
The autopsy report draws
no conclusions about whether
Anderson’s death was a homicide or an accident.
Martin Lee Anderson’s
body was exhumed after a
camp surveillance videotape
surfaced showing the guards
roughing him up and shoving
ammonia pills up his nose Jan.

family had questioned the initial finding by Dr. Charles
Siebert, the Bay County
Medical Examiner, that the
boy died of complications of
sickle cell trait.

Aspartame poses

“There is no reason ... to
undertake any further extensive review of the safety of
aspartame,” said Iona Pratt, a
toxicologist who headed the
panel.
The findings support a
large U.S. federal study
released last month, which
found no link to cancer in a
study of aspartame use among
more than half a million
Americans.
Aspartame is found in
thousands of products, including diet sodas, chewing gum,
dairy products and even many
medicines. It’s sold under the
brand names NutraSweet,
Equal and Canderel.
Dow climbs 138
pts. to end at
6-year high
NEW YORK (AP) — Wall
Street barreled higher Friday,
sending the Dow Jones industrials up 138 points to a new
six-year high after a report of
modest job growth bolstered
hopes that the Federal Reserve
will end its interest rates
hikes. All three major indexes
finished the week with gains.
Investors saw a slowdown
in April employment growth
as the latest sign of a softening
economy, a reason for the Fed
to stop raising interest rates.
That countered worries over
rising wages, which followed
an upswing in employers’
labor costs on Thursday.
Jack Caffrey, equities
strategist for JPMorgan
Private Bank, said the market
appeared to be focusing on
recent positive data instead of
considering the long-term
consequences of why the Fed
would stop boosting rates —
because economic growth has
slowed enough to contain

FIRE AND RESCUE
STRUCTURE FIRE -Redwood Valley/Calpella firefighters responded to a small
structure fire at 1:08 p.m.
Friday, in the 1200 block of
Marina Drive. The fire -caused from a bug bomb
placed under the house -- was
inflation.
“People are taking the
weaker job creation, the stability in the unemployment
rate and the uptick in jobless
claims and spinning that into a
hope the Fed will move to the
sideline sooner than later,”
Caffrey said. “It’s almost a
hope-for-relief rally instead of
a ’the Fed is done, things are
slowing down’ mentality.”
Falling oil prices also
helped stocks to their gains,
although some believe higher
gasoline prices will pressure
consumer spending and keep
the economy from overheating.
Department of
Energy to stop
pensions for new
contract workers
NEW YORK (AP) — The
Department of Energy has
told contractors it will no
longer pay for pensions for
newly hired workers, following the lead of a growing
number of private employers.
The change is drawing
sharp criticism from labor
unions, advocacy groups and
some Senate Democrats. It
comes as federal lawmakers
are working on measures
designed to shore up a listing
pension insurance system,
improve funding of pension
plans and slow the move by
employers away from the
retirement mainstay.
The DOE’s decision is
intended to cut costs and
ensure the predictability of
future retirement obligations,

a department spokeswoman,
Megan Barnett, said Friday.
“This is an internal management policy and more consistent with sound business
practices in the private sector
to improve the predictability”
of pension funding costs,
Barnett said.
The move covers contractors employing about 100,000
workers on DOE’s behalf, as
well 100,000 retirees or their
dependents. Those workers
and retirees will continue to
qualify for current existing
benefits. The department says
that for all new hires, it will
pay for defined contribution
retirement plan similar to a
401(k).
The principal difference
between the two types of benefit are that pensions offer a
guaranteed retirement benefit
in which all risk is born by the
employer. Defined contribution plans shift the risk to
workers, requiring them to
save part of their earnings and
invest them wisely. There is
no guaranteed benefit.
“The new policy recognizes the contributions of current and retired contractor
employees and, at the same
time, ensure that future costs
for pension and medical benefits are more consistent with
market
trends,”
Energy
Secretary Samuel Bodman
said in a written release
announcing the change.
The move was attacked by
critics, who say it betrays the
interest of workers and could
encourage more employers to
follow suit.

Benefit for Barbara Sawyers this Sunday
at Agape Bible Church
A dinner benefit for Barbara Sawyers, Willits, is Sunday from
1:30 to 5 p.m. at Agape Bible Church, 290 Lenore Ave., Willits. All
proceeds go to the Barbara Sawyers Medical Fund. Spaghetti,
salad, drinks and dessert are included in the $10 donation.
Donations to the fund will also be accepted at the Bank of Willits.
For more information, call Diane Ford at 459-4078 or Mary
Burgess at 489-2339. Members of Memorial Baptist, Willits, and
friends are putting on the benefit.
The discovery and progress of Sawyers’ bone cancer was swift.
She was having bad pain in one of her hips. In examining it, the
doctors found that she had cancer of the bone and they operated
three weeks ago on that hip, doing a complete hip replacement. She
is doing fairly well , using a walker, but now she will undergo
chemotherapy and treatments. Barbara and her husband, Warren,
have no medical insurance so friends are trying to do what they can
to help.

‘Adventure Rabbi’ takes
to the slopes to spread Judaism
By MELISSA TRUJILLO
The Associated Press
COPPER MOUNTAIN,
Colo. -- Nothing about the
rabbi’s message was unusual:
Moses and the burning bush
and the congregation’s need
to stop and listen for God in
their daily lives.
Nothing else, though, was
typical about Rabbi Jamie
Korngold’s Shabbat service.
Instead of driving or walking to a neighborhood temple,
the congregation took a ski
lift to the top of one of
Copper Mountain’s snowy
runs, where an area had been
marked with a sign held up
by two skis stuck in the powder. The group wore heavy
jackets, gloves and helmets.
The snow crunched beneath
their ski or snowboard boots.
And instead of leading a
long service inside, Korngold
kept her message short on the
sunny February day, understanding her congregation’s
desire to hit the slopes.
Unusual for almost every
other rabbi, but not Korngold
-- Colorado’s self-proclaimed
“Adventure Rabbi.”
Korngold is a Reform
Jewish rabbi specializing in
performing bar and bat mitzvahs, weddings and other ceremonies and services outdoors. Her goal is to connect
the beauty of her state -- and
beyond -- to Judaism and
reconnect young people to
their faith.
“I always joke that the rabbis are all wondering where
their congregants are on
Saturday. I know where they
are, they’re skiing,” the 40year-old Korngold said.
“What I say is, you know
what, you don’t have to
change your lifestyle. You’re
going skiing on Saturday.
Fine, I’ll go skiing with you.
Give me 15 minutes and let
me show you how that ski
day can be holy.”
The Adventure Rabbi
effort started in 2001, after
two friends asked her to perform a conversion and adoption ceremony for their child
at the Grand Canyon, which
they considered a special
place. A group of the husband’s college students went
along, most of whom had
given up on their Jewish
faith.
Instead of the standard ceremonies, Korngold incorporated the canyon’s wondrous
rocks, water and plants into
the Jewish prayers. Many of
the young people had never
heard Korngold’s take on
their religion.
“These kids just came
away like, ’Wow, I’m totally
jazzed. I want to learn
more,”’ Korngold said. “I
came out and I said, ’This is
what I want to do.’ “
Now, Korngold holds the
Shabbat services centered on
skiing in the winter and hiking in the summer. The skiing
services usually last less than
half an hour and involve
prayers, a short message and
singing, while the hikes take
about three hours.
The goal, Korngold said, is
not to simply move a service
outdoors, although some traditional aspects remain. Often
on hikes, she or someone else
will carry a paper Torah,
shrunken in size and placed
in a waterproof bag for safekeeping.
The rabbi compared her
services to a “time-release
vitamin,” that will engage the
congregation throughout the
day. She may give them
something to think about on
the ski lift or a meditation to
try later.
Korngold’s work is just
one way Jewish leaders are
trying to find innovative
ways to engage young people
in the faith -- amid concerns
that youth are walking away
from their heritage, said
Steven Bayme, national
director of the Contemporary
Jewish Life department for
the American Jewish
Committee.
“We need to find different
entry points,” he said. “We
need to try new things.”
Korngold’s emphasis on
the surrounding environment
can be traced back to
Judaism’s deep connection to
nature and wilderness but
must not overwhelm other
important aspects of the religion, Bayme said.
“In terms of the actual
content, Judaism is not whatever you make of it,” he said.
A successful program also
must act as an entry point to
serious study and commitment -- not merely entertain.
“Don’t substitute the frosting for the cake. The cake
really has to be serious
Jewish engagements,” Bayme
said.
Korngold doesn’t expect
all who participate in her services to become dedicated
members of a synagogue.
More often, her participants
walk away with a more positive attitude about and a
greater connection to
Judaism, she said.
Rebecca Dennett chose
Korngold for her bat mitzvah
because she wanted the service to more deeply reflect
her values and personality.
The event was held in
September at a guest ranch in
the Colorado Rockies, a
favorite place for the teenager
though far from the family’s
northern Virginia home.
Horses were an important
part of the ceremony, with
Rebecca riding while wearing

NICHOLAS KRISTOF
Beyond
chastity belts
The captors
become the captives
WASHINGTON -- The invasion of Iraq
has turned into "The Ransom of Red Chief."
The famous short story by O. Henry, published in 1910, begins, "It looked like a good
thing: but wait till I tell you."
The tale is about a couple of guys who have
a bold, illicit scheme they assume will be
easy, but it ends up backfiring. The idea, one
confesses afterward, must have struck them
"during a moment of temporary mental
apparition."
Bill and Sam are fugitives lurking in a
small town in Alabama who kidnap a prominent citizen's child and ask for a ransom of
$1,500. But once he is held in a nearby cave,
the freckle-faced, red-haired boy turns out to
be such a terror as he happily plays a violent
Indian named Red Chief -- attacking Bill and
Sam with bricks, kicks, rocks, bites, a knife, a
slingshot and a hot boiled potato -- that he
breaks the kidnappers' spirit.
The tormentors become the tormented,
dragging the reluctant Red Chief back to his
affluent father, who refuses to take the problem child until Bill and Sam cough up $250.
The story has spawned many movies using
the same name, and inspired others, including
the "Home Alone" flicks, in which Macaulay
Culkin fights off a couple of hapless robbers,
and "Ruthless People," in which an obnoxious
rich wife played by Bette Midler is kidnapped
by a sweet couple who have been swindled by
her philandering husband. He wants Bette
dead, so he refuses to pay her ransom, and
Bette and her kidnappers team up against the
sleazeball.
The ABC pilot "Let's Rob Mick Jagger"
sounds like the same dynamic: a loser janitor
and pals plotting a heist on the pampered rock
star's penthouse, but you know that the devilish Sir Mick will not turn out to be the sap.
Now we see this classic plotline in the
Middle East. The inept captors have become
the captives. The country the administration
precipitously grabbed and overconfidently
took over has ended up trapping, draining,
flummoxing and alarming the administration,
which is more and more desperate to hand it
off and escape.
President Bush said Saturday, "As Iraqis
continue to make progress toward a democracy that can govern itself, defend itself, and
sustain itself, more of our troops can come
home."
And in an interview in the new Vanity Fair,
Todd Purdum asks Dick Cheney whether in
his "darkest night" he has even "a little doubt"
about the administration's course. "No," Vice
says. "I think what we've done has been what
needed to be done."
But even if they and their 33 percent
unshakeable base are still in denial, there's a
growing consensus that their plot was
hatched, as O. Henry put it, "during a moment
of temporary mental apparition" and that
we're the Middle East hostages now, to war
and oil.
The Sunday graduation ceremony for nearly a thousand new Iraqi soldiers at a base near
Baghdad turned into an ugly melee when
dozens of Sunnis declared they would fight
only in their home areas, another reflection of
growing internecine bitterness.
The Washington Post reported last weekend that American troops in Hawija are growing more distrustful of their Iraqi counterparts, fearing that many soldiers they are
training are cooperating with the enemy.
Sen. Joseph Biden and Leslie H. Gelb
wrote an Op-Ed in The New York Times on
Monday promoting the idea of "decentralizing" Iraq into three "ethno-religious" groups
even though critics argue that this could make
it more likely that the Sunni section would
become a haven for al-Qaida and the Shiite
sector an Iranian satellite.
Another respected retired lieutenant general, William Odom, has joined the toil-andtrouble chorus with a piece in Foreign Policy
magazine headlined "Cut and Run? You Bet."
He writes that withdrawing from "the big
sandy" will encourage the terrorists, but
argues that "our continued occupation of Iraq
also encourages the killers -- precisely
because our invasion made Iraq safe for
them."
He says: "Invading Iraq was not in the
interests of the United States. It was in the
interests of Iran and al-Qaida. For Iran, it
avenged a grudge against Saddam for his
invasion of the country in 1980. For al-Qaida,
it made it easier to kill Americans." He concludes that "the war has paralyzed the United
States in the world diplomatically and strategically."
The U.S. may be paralyzed, but its leader is
pedaling. The commander in chief, who could
learn something about wily and resilient ways
to adapt a war plan from Red Chief, spent a
couple of hours Tuesday afternoon biking and
savoring the beautiful spring weather. When
you're on the hook, play hooky.
Maureen Dowd became a columnist on
The New York Times' Op-Ed page in
1995.
Letters from our readers
We are America
To the Editor:
Yes we are. You, me, and them; all of
us, either you are a native citizen, a naturalized citizen, a resident, an exile, a
refugee, or an undocumented worker. We
are America. America is a concept of
unity and liberty, and it adjusts to our
political times and to our demographic
changes. America is a land of immigrants,
and most legal and illegal immigrants are
from Mexico. Is a fact, the fastest growing
groups in the U.S are Spanish speaking
persons, not only from Mexico but from
many other Hispanic countries. Several
generations of Mexican-Americans and
other Latinos had contributed in all areas
of economy and in the built of the United
States of America. The U.S. is reflected
by their people and not by the main
stream media or by the political party in
power. It is really ironic to see how this
country needs millions of underpaid workers, shoppers, and tax payers, but still
denies their civil and human rights!
The Immigration Laws Reform is
urgently needed. The borders divide people geographically, politically or linguistically, but never humanly. Any border can
divide humans and cultures intertwined
and attached by centuries of common history. The United States of America and
Mexico share a deep common Hispanic
root in the West wing. The Americans
from any heritage and cultural background, but especially the MexicanAmericans, are America. And America,
geographically, is first a continent, one
ancient continent divided either in two
(north and south), or in three (north, central and south. But it can be divided in
other ways, as well; America is divided
linguistically in Hispanic America.
America is also divided culturally in
Latino-America, and the English U.S and
Canada.
But when protesters in the rallies from
all across this country claim civil rights
and immigration law reforms waving flags
from Mexico and the U.S, and showing
signs saying “We are America” it is in the
context of America, as a nation of immigrants and citizenship, with no exclusions.
The American people and the American
dream. Who is an American? Who is not
an American in America? Is anybody
excluded from the American Dream or
from the right to become an American citizen? Socioeconomic status and ethnicity
are not obstacles to reach the American
dream for anybody.
Why do some persons hate, and want to
exclude millions of undocumented immigrants, who are also taxpayers, consumers, and part of a daily American day
from the right to become legally and fully
part of America? We are a country of
immigrants from all over the world, a
country with British colonies, and also a
country with Spanish colonies, such as
San Diego, San Agustin, San Francisco,
San Antonio, San Jose, San Gabriel,
Albuquerque, etc, etc. Spanish language is
not a foreign language. It is an American
language like English, and it is also the
second most spoken language across the
country.
America is a country of immigrants
who once became citizens, and of citizens
whose ancestors once were immigrants, a
country of laws and diversity, where laws
need to be updated, reformed, and adjusted, in order to reflect fairly our diversity
and bring justice for all. Most Americans
sympathize with the struggle for justice of
more than 12 million of undocumented
new immigrants. Most citizens support
them because they are right, and their
demands are just and democratic. Most
Americans agree to have a comprehensive
immigration laws reform. Most legal
immigrants and citizens support them,
because they are America too.

Abortion may be the single most polarizing issue in
America today, but there's one thing Democrats and
Republicans mostly agree on: It would be better if
Americans had fewer abortions.
The best way to reduce the number of abortions, in
turn, would be to reduce the number of unwanted
pregnancies. Every year, Americans have 3 million
unplanned pregnancies, leading to 1.3 million abortions.
So it should be a no-brainer that we increase access
to contraception, and in particular make the "morning
after" pill available over the counter. That would be
the single simplest step to reduce the U.S. abortion
rate, while also helping hundreds of thousands of
women avert unwanted pregnancies.
Plan B, the emergency contraceptive, normally prevents pregnancy when taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex -- although it is most effective when taken
within 24 hours. It is now available in most of the U.S.
only by prescription, but the American Medical
Association and the American College of
Obstetricians and Gynecologists have both endorsed it
for over-the-counter use.
President Bush's Food and Drug Administration has
blocked that, apparently fearing that better contraception will encourage promiscuity. But unless the libidophobes in the administration mandate chastity belts,
their opposition to Plan B amounts to a pro-abortion
policy.
One study, now a bit dated, found that if emergency
contraceptives were widely available in the U.S., there
would be 800,000 fewer abortions each year. And even
though they are generally available only by prescription, emergency contraceptives averted 51,000 abortions in 2000, according to the Guttmacher Institute.
That's one of the paradoxes in the abortion debate:
The White House frequently backs precisely the policies that cause America to have one of the highest
abortion rates in the West. Compared with other countries, the U.S. lags in sex education and in availability
of contraception -- funding for contraception under the
Title X program has declined 59 percent in constant
dollars since 1980 -- so we have higher unintended
pregnancy rates and abortion rates.
Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium have abortion rates only one-third of America's, and France's is
half of America's. France has made a particular push
for emergency contraception to lower its abortion rate
by making free morning-after pills available to French
teenagers, without informing the parents. Nurses in
French junior high and high schools are authorized to
hand out emergency contraception pills.
That broad availability is the global pattern. While
American women cannot normally obtain emergency
contraception without a prescription (by which time
the optimal 24-hour window has often passed), it is
available without a prescription in much of the rest of
the world, from Albania to Tunisia, from Belgium to
Britain.
One thought that paralyzes the Bush administration
is that American teenage girls might get easy access to
emergency contraception and turn into shameless
hussies. But contraception generally doesn't cause sex,
any more than umbrellas cause rain.
The reality is that almost two-thirds of American
girls have lost their virginity by the time they turn 18
-- and one-quarter use no contraception their first time.
Some 800,000 American teenagers become pregnant
each year, 80 percent of the time unintentionally.
So we may wince at the thought of a 15-year-old
girl obtaining Plan B after unprotected sex. But why
does the White House prefer to imagine her pregnant?
Indeed, Plan B may be more important for
teenagers than for adults, because adults are more likely to rely on a regular contraceptive. Teenagers wing
it.
Granted, making contraceptives available -- all
kinds, not just Plan B -- presents a mixed message. We
encourage young people to abstain from sex, and then
provide condoms in case they don't listen. But that's
because we understand human nature: We also tell drivers not to speed, but provide air bags in case they do.
The administration's philosophy seems to be that
the best way to discourage risky behavior is to take
away the safety net. Hmmm. I suppose that if we
replaced air bags with sharpened spikes on dashboards, people might drive more carefully -- but it still
doesn't seem like a great idea.
So let's give American women the same rights that
they would have if they were Albanians or Tunisians,
and make Plan B available over the counter. It's time
for Bush to end his policies that encourage abortions.

Brother Derek hopes for smooth ride at Derby
Winner could depend on
what happens at the start
By RICHARD ROSENBLATT
The Associated Press
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Dan
Hendricks easily maneuvered his
wheelchair outside Barn 42 at
Churchill Downs for a final chat on
the day before the Kentucky Derby.
Since being paralyzed from the
waist down in a motocross accident
two years ago, the 47-year-old trainer
has found it challenging to do his job.
But in the same way Hendricks has
learned to adapt, he hopes jockey
Alex Solis can give his Derby
favorite, Brother Derek, a smooth ride
in a contentious field of 20 talented 3year-olds.
The biggest question surrounding
Saturday’s $2 million Kentucky
Derby is how the race will unfold
when the starting gate springs open:
Will speed rule or ruin favorites
Brother Derek, Barbaro and Lawyer
Ron?
“We won’t be out there first, we’ll
be out there right behind the speed
and, hopefully, it’s a nice clean trip
and not too rough,” Hendricks said
Friday.
“I’d have to imagine we’d take the
lead just past the quarter pole,” he
added. “Usually horses in front by the
eighth pole win it.”
Of course, every other Derby trainer has his own winning scenario, but
Brother Derek is the horse to beat.
A winner in his three starts this
year, Brother Derek is the 3-1 favorite
despite challengers that include

first loss of the season, 9-2, in
North Ukiah Little League action.
Carson Schram struck out 11

pitching a complete game.
“All the kids from both teams
played like champs today,” said
Northwest coach Ron Haydon.
“Games like this with two of the
best teams always makes for a
great show.”
Leading by only two runs heading into the fourth inning,
Northwest put together a five-run

fourth, taking control of the game.
Cody Goss had a big game for
Northwest, finishing 2-for-3 at the
plate with three RBIs and three

San Antonio’s Tim Duncan scored 15 points Friday as the Spurs eliminated the Sacramento Kings from the NBA Playoffs.
SACRAMENTO — The San
Antonio Spurs’ most entertaining
first-round series in years ended
the way it began: with a methodical blowout victory for the
defending NBA champions.
Tony Parker scored a playoff
career-high 31 points and Tim
Duncan had 15 as the Spurs finally shook the Sacramento Kings,
winning Game 6 of their firstround series 105-83 Friday night.
With an 18-1 run spanning halftime and fundamentally flawless
play down the stretch, the topseeded Spurs advanced to the second round for the sixth consecutive season.
Bruce Bowen scored 16 points
as the NBA’s best road team during the regular season also closed
out a series on the road for the
seventh time in the last four playoffs, barely noticing the sellout
Sacramento crowd’s cheers and
jeers.
And their next matchup is a
grabber: On Sunday, the Spurs
will host the fourth-seeded Dallas
Mavericks, who finished their
first-round sweep of the Memphis
Grizzlies on Monday. The Mavs
chased San Antonio in the

Ukiah girls swim to
clutch win over Ursuline
Relay teams combine
to win meet on last
event for Wildcats
The Daily Journal
SANTA ROSA – The
Ukiah girls swimming team
continued its winning ways
Friday in Santa Rosa, pulling
together for an emotional, 9291 victory over Ursuline to
improve to 6-2 in North Bay
League meets.
After battling back and
forth all day, the meet came
down to the last race, the 400
relay.
Ukiah took first with it’s
“A” team of Abby Mulvihill,
Elley Cannon, Katie Bishop
and Jill Clark, but it was a
third place finish by the “B”
team of Anthoula Vlachos,
Allie Grubaugh, Mandi
Summit
and
Macaela
Stenbeck that garnered the
points for the win.
“Everybody stepped up,”
said Ukiah head coach Lee
Panttaja. “We don’t have any
girl divers, so they got 13
points on us there. But we
fought back. We got even
once and then lost some
ground, but didn’t quit. It was
a team struggle and a pretty
cool thing to be a part of. That
was fun.”
Cardinal Newman’s boys
team defeated Ukiah at the
same meet, 104-80. The
Cardinals improved to 8-0 in
NBL competition with the
win.
“Newman is very strong,”
Panttaja said. “But our kids
rose to the occasion and swam
very fast.”
Travis Cleland continued
his steady improvement this
season, setting a PR in the 200
free with a time of 1:54.64.
“I think he’s just improving
rapidly,” Panttaja said. “He
also swam a good 50 free and
relay.”
Miles Oswald dropped 15
seconds off his time in both
the 200 and 500 free.
The Wildcats return to the
pool Friday and Saturday for
the NBL Championships.
Wildcats end five game skid
The Daily Journal
SANTA ROSA – The
Ukiah softball team ended its
five-game losing streak
Friday with a big North Bay
League
win
over
Montgomery, 7-1.
The Wildcats are now 3-5
in the NBL and 8-7 overall.
“We did great, it was back
to the old team,” said Ukiah
head coach Gary Venturi.
“Good hitting, good pitching,
good fielding, it was nice to
see after five losses in a row.”
The Wildcats were led by
senior ace Lindsay Kiely, who
struck out eight and walked
one in the win. Kiely was also
4-for-5 at the plate with three
RBIs and a double.
“It was also back to the old
Lindsay,” Venturi said. “Her
location on her pitches was
great.”
Chelsea Meeker led off the
first inning with a single, and
a Kiely single just two batters
later scored Meeker for a 1-0
Wildcats lead.
Ukiah got on the board
again in the fourth inning
when Sarah Laughlin scored
on a throwing error.
Katie Ott then notched an
RBI on a fielder’s choice,
scoring Meeker for a 3-0 lead.
In the fifth inning, Allie
Ortega led off with a single,
scored on a Meeker single,
and Kiely’s double scored
Brianna Mack and Meeker to
make the score 60.
Ukiah returns to play
Tuesday, hosting Elsie Allen.
Game time is 4 p.m. The
Wildcats travel to take on
Piner Thursday.
11 points on 2-of-11 shooting
while playing on an injured ankle,
but Sacramento didn’t have the
poise or the resourcefulness to
rally after San Antonio took control in the third quarter.
The Spurs scored the final five
points of the first half and made a
16-3 run to open the second, getting consecutive 3-pointers from
Bowen and another from Brent
Barry to take a 61-41 lead. Parker
scored 14 points in the third quarter, including a long 3-pointer at
the buzzer after Kevin Martin hit
one for the Kings.
Sacramento made 19 turnovers
and missed six free throws in the
first three quarters. Wells finally
was slowed a bit after scoring at
least 19 points in the last four
games, including 38 in Game 5.
Parker left the game in the
fourth quarter to rest his strained
and bruised right leg, but returned
quickly to surpass his previous
playoff best, set in 2004 against
the Lakers. The Kings never got
closer than 14 points in the fourth
quarter. The Kings couldn’t
become the third No. 8 seed to
win a playoff series, but their lateseason surge and a strong effort
against the champs bodes well for
next season. Wells is the only
Sacramento regular who isn’t
signed through at least 2007 —
though coach Rick Adelman also
doesn’t have a contract after eight
consecutive playoff trips.
The Kings, who rolled into the
playoffs with 25 wins in their last
36 regular-season games, had
been nothing but trouble for the
defending champs since Game 2
in San Antonio, where they nearly
won before Barry’s tying 3-pointer took a fortuitous bounce in an
overtime thriller.
Lots of homers, but
none for Bonds in
Giants 8-3 loss
By MIKE FITZPATRICK
The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — Seven homers sailed out of
Philadelphia’s hitter-friendly park Friday night. Barry
Bonds never came close.
Bonds remained two homers behind Babe Ruth, but Ryan
Howard and Chase Utley each homered twice to lead the
Phillies past the San Francisco Giants 8-3 Friday night for
their sixth straight victory.
“Looking at the ball jumping out of the ballpark, you
always think every time he steps to the plate that he’s going
to hit a home run,” Giants shortstop Omar Vizquel said.
“But it didn’t happen.”
Aaron Rowand also connected for the Phillies, who got a
second consecutive solid start from Gavin Floyd (3-2) and
moved above .500 for the first time this season at 15-14.
Vizquel and Randy Winn went deep for the Giants, who
lost right fielder Moises Alou to a sprained right ankle.
Alou’s injury looked worse — he was carted off the field
after stumbling in the right-field corner while chasing a foul
fly in the third.
The 39-year-old Alou, plagued by leg injuries throughout
his career, leads the team with seven homers and 25 RBIs.
He provides protection by batting behind Bonds, who could
see even more free passes now.
“I feel pretty bad because I think Mo has been the engine
that has been moving things around when they pitch around
Barry,” Vizquel said. “He has been the guy that has been
bringing guys home.”
Alou appeared to twist his ankle before tumbling to the
ground in the right-field corner. Bonds and other teammates
gathered around Alou, who stayed down for several minutes
before he was taken off the field on a cart. His father, Felipe,
the Giants’ manager, also came out to check on him.
Philadelphia fans, who booed Bonds all night, gave
Moises Alou a round of applause. He was taken for X-rays,
which were negative, but Giants trainer Stan Conte said he
expects the right fielder to miss at least 15 days — maybe
more.
Felipe Alou was angry that a few fans booed Bonds even

Oakland
quarterback
Aaron Brooks is the
favorite to replace Kerry
Collins.
Brooks
will get
his shot
By JANIE McCAULEY
The Associated Press
ALAMEDA — Randy
Moss jogged by Aaron
Brooks between drills and
slapped him a low five. He
greeted Brooks in the locker
room with a friendly welcome
and ’what’s up?’
Moss later caught a few
nice passes from his new
quarterback, too.
“Being a quarterback and
being on the same team and in
the same offense as he is, it
just brings a smile to your
face,” Brooks said Friday following the Oakland Raiders’
morning minicamp practice.
“Because he can make the
weakest quarterback the best.
“To have an opportunity to
play with a receiver who’s as
talented as he is, you’ve just
got to embrace it and try to do
everything you can to get him
the ball but not try to overdo
it.”
Owner Al Davis brought in
Brooks last month to replace
Kerry Collins, and Brooks
will get the chance to win the
top job come training camp in
July. With that title comes the
demanding chore of turning
around an underachieving
offense.
If Brooks becomes the
starter as expected, that first
will mean finding a way to get
more out of stars such as
Moss, LaMont Jordan and
Jerry Porter.
While Moss dealt with
nagging injuries for much of
last season, Collins and fired
coach Norv Turner were criticized for not getting the most
out of Moss in his first season
with the franchise. He had
only one multi-touchdown
game and finished the season
with 60 catches for 1,005
yards and eight TDs.
Brooks, who had started 82
straight games before being
benched by New Orleans for
the final three games of 2005,
looked comfortable right
away in silver and black.
On one play, he handed off
to Jordan, then later made a
nice pitch to Raiders’ 1,000yard rusher Jordan. Brooks
easily hit Moss on an out
route before nearly getting
picked off by cornerback
Nnamdi Asomugha.
Moss seemed to be enjoying himself, too. Looking
healthy and as fit as ever, he
hollered in delight at one
point.
Coach Art Shell, who
Davis hired again to take
Turner’s place more than a
decade after firing him following a 9-7 season, is
already running a tight ship.
Brooks expects to be an
outspoken leader for Oakland,
which lost its final six games
and eight of nine overall to
finish at 4-12 and with one
fewer victory than in Turner’s
first season.
While the defense made
strides, the Raiders’ offense
struggled and didn’t live up to
the hype of being the highpowered unit many expected
it to be.
Now, Brooks is determined
to help change things. He
received a vote of confidence
when Oakland passed on the
chance to draft USC’s Matt
Leinart with the seventh overall pick in last week’s draft,
going instead with Texas safety Michael Huff.

Potter Valley’s Dalton Olson slides into third base during the third inning of
Friday’s game against Laytonville in Potter Valley. Potter Valley lost, 9-8.
The Daily Journal
POTTER VALLEY – In
North Central League II
action, Laytonville rallied
on the road to take a crucial
game against Potter Valley,
9-8.
The Bearcats fell to 3-2 in
league with the loss.
“We looked like a tee ball
team,” said Potter Valley
head coach Mike Moore.
“About every kid on our
team can say the contributed
to this loss.”
Potter Valley led 3-2 after
the first inning, and extended its lead to 6-3 after two
innings.
The Warriors started their
rally in the fourth inning,
cutting the Bearcats lead to
7-6.
In the sixth inning, the
ceiling finally collapsed on
Potter Valley.
Terry Allen, pitching in
relief of starter Will
Mangino,
walked
a
Laytonville batter to start
the inning, gave up another
base on a fielding error, then
hit two batters, and also surrendered another base on a
fielder’s choice.
Mixed with one hit,
Laytonville used the Potter
Valley mistakes to score
three runs and take a 9-7
lead.
“One hit and they scored
three runs,” Moore said.
“Like I said before, tee
ball.”
Matt Moore was a bright
spot for the Bearcats, going
2-for-4 for Potter Valley
with four runs and an RBI.
Mike Edwards was 2-for-3
with one RBI, one run, and a
double. Rocky Duman went
2-for-2.

Ukiah’s Chris Tow went

while Will Tollini chipped in
with a run and an RBI single.
Oscar Delgado delivered
a strong effort for the
Yankees, scoring on an
inside-the-park home run
and finishing 2-for-3 with
two RBIs.
The Yankees received
steady pitching from Tyler
Carter and he also contributed at the plate, going 1for-2 with a double.
Burrell also came out with
tightness in his left hamstring, but manager Charlie
Manuel said Burrell might
be able to play Saturday
night.
After a day off Thursday
afternoon in Milwaukee,
Bonds was back in the
cleanup spot Friday. He
heard it from Philadelphia’s
notoriously harsh fans
before every at-bat, though
the reception probably wasn’t as vicious as many
expected. One sign in the
stands read “CHEATER”
and fans in left field chanted
“Just retire! Just retire!”
“I thought it was fine.
Nothing wrong with it. The
fans create a lot of energy. It
helps much more than you
might think, and I think it
helped our team tonight,”
Manuel said.
Cameras flashed in the
crowd of 37,269 every time
Bonds swung. He went 0for-3 with a strikeout and an
intentional walk, staying
stuck at 712 homers — two
behind Ruth for second
place on baseball’s career
list.
The slugger fanned
against reliever Aaron Fultz
leading off the eighth.
and like Dan’s horse, I
should be in the second
group,” he said. “Hopefully.
we’ll be in good striking
range when they turn for the
corner down the stretch —
and may the best horse win.”
A case could be made for
just about every horse in the
field. The key to the 132nd
Derby, though, could be the
first quarter mile. Start too
fast, and there’s not enough
energy for a finishing kick.
Hang back too far, and the
stretch might set up for horses who love to come from
behind.
Sinister Minister is a
given to set the pace following his wire-to-wire romp in
the Blue Grass Stakes three
weeks ago. Sharp Humor
and Keyed Entry, who also
love the lead, should be out
front, too.
The three favorites all
have similar styles, preferring to run on or just off the
lead. But with a huge field,
Brother Derek, Barbaro and
Lawyer Ron may be farther
behind than usual.
And that’s where the
intrigue comes in. Who
moves first? Who follows?
And what about the closers
like A.P. Warrior, Jazil and
Steppenwolfer?
“Roll the dice,” two-time
Derby winning jockey Chris
McCarron said.
With 20 starters, the purse
will be $2,213,200, with the
winner earning $1,453,200.

Davis’ strong outing
helps Padres to win
The Daily Journal
Cody Davis had a strong
performance on the mound
and received plenty of defensive help as the McDonald’s
Padres defeated the Thurston
Dodgers, 6-3, in South Ukiah
Little League action Thursday
night. Davis struck out seven
batters and gave up only six
hits, capturing his second victory in as many games.
Several players excelled
defensively for McDonald’s,
holding the league’s most
potent offense to only three
runs.
Davis Head scored for the
Padres on a passed ball in the
bottom of the first and Sean
Dewey scored a few batters
later thanks to a single by
Cody Davis.
Chayton Johnson, Drew
Grebil, Dewey and Dominic
Brutocao each registered a hit
in the fourth inning as
McDonald’s exploded for four
runs.
The Dodgers added two
runs in the sixth inning, but
couldn’t pull even with the
Padres.
Dewey finished 3-for-4 as
the plate with three doubles
and Grebil continued to swing
a hot bat, going 2-for-4.
Taylor Yanez had a strong
game for the Dodgers, going
2-for-3 with three RBIs.

(Answers Monday)
Jumbles: SPURN CARGO VELLUM AROUND
Answer: What the servers had to learn before handling
the coffee beans — THE “GROUND” RULES
Wife should give up dog to save her marriage
Dear Annie: I have been married to “Jack”
for three years. One month into our marriage,
we adopted a dog from the pound -- an
adorable, rather hyperactive 6-month-old
mixed breed we named Heidi.
Since then, we have struggled with Heidi.
She is a very loving dog, but her temperament
is hard to keep in check, although she’s much
better than she used to be. We have taken Heidi
to obedience classes, and she is able to follow
directions as long as she is not distracted by
people or other dogs.
The problem is, Jack has had a difficult time
adjusting to Heidi, especially since we purchased a house 18 months ago. Heidi’s nails,
whether trimmed or not, scratch our new hardwood floors, the deck he built with his father
and the wooden fence that Jack put in himself.
He worries about adding landscaping in the
backyard for fear that Heidi will “just ruin that,
too.” Furthermore, Jack is tired of seeing
Heidi’s large crate sit in our tiny living room
ANNIE’S MAILBOX
By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
because there is nowhere else to put it. He does
not like having guests over because Heidi gets
too excited.
Jack wants to find Heidi a new home. He is
not willing to go through more training, and he
does not want to cover the hardwood floors
with carpet or make other accommodations for
Heidi’s behavior.
But, Annie, I have become very attached to
Heidi. I am stressed out about Jack and Heidi,
and if Jack insists on sending Heidi to a new
home, I will be bitter and upset. I know Jack
doesn’t want to cause me grief, but he simply
cannot manage Heidi anymore.
How did a dog become my marriage’s

biggest stress point? How do I resolve this? -Cornered in California
Dear Cornered: If you force Jack to keep
Heidi, he will resent both you and the dog. This
also would be unfair to Heidi, who deserves a
home where she is wanted by the entire family.
We know you love her, but she should not
become more important than your marriage.
Please find her a new, loving home. Soon.
Dear Annie: I was appalled by the letter
from “No Room,” whose daughter- in-law
made her sit in the kitchen while everyone else
ate in the dining room. You should have told
her the Brothers Grimm tale: An old man lived
with his married son, but as Grandpa became
more and more feeble, his table manners worsened, and he could not hold onto the dishes.
Finally, the son and daughter- in-law moved
him to a small table in a corner where he would
eat by himself from a wooden bowl.
Soon, the little grandson began collecting
wood scraps. When asked by his father what he
was doing, the boy replied, “I’m making a
wooden bowl for you and Mother, so you can
eat by yourselves in the corner someday when
I get big.”
That daughter-in-law should be reminded

that what goes around comes around. -- R. in
the Midwest
Dear R.: Hundreds of other readers wrote
with the same sentiments. Children learn what
they see, and we hope all parents are paying
attention.
Dear Annie: National Nurses Week begins
May 6. I have been privileged to be a bedside
RN for the last 27 years, but many of my
younger co-workers have aspirations to
become nurse anesthetists and nurse practitioners. Of course, we need those nurses, too, but I
am concerned about the shortage of bedside
nurses.
Very few new nurses want this career. If you
know of someone who would like to become a
nurse, please encourage them. If you are able
to develop a grant or scholarship program for
those who need financial assistance to pursue
their dreams, please do so. This would be a
wonderful tribute to any nurse who has
touched you or a loved one. -- Bedside Nurse
and Proud of It
Dear Bedside Nurse: Bedside nurses are a
special breed. We would also like to take this
opportunity to recognize all nurses for their
compassion and TLC.

Rodeo
Blair Beeson
practices his
riding skills
Thursday afternoon. After this
year’s grape
harvest, the
vineyard will be
cleared to make
way for the
Potter Valley
Parks and
Recreation site.
Continued from Page 1
the community’s future.
Board member Casey
Burris said there’s a lot of
excitement about the property.
“We thought hey, let’s
make this thing happen. It’s
in grapes right now; we’ll
harvest the grapes this year
and then turn it into rodeo
grounds, community
center/grange, with a park
including baseball fields,” he
said.
According to Burris, the
first order of business will be
clearing the vineyard this fall
after harvest and then getting
the rodeo grounds ready for
the 2007 season. After that, in
order will come (as funding
becomes available) the new
Grange/community/youth
center, a covered arena, the
community park, and the
baseball fields.
Last Sunday a kickoff celebration was held on the
grounds so that community
members could see the location and start to imagine the
end result. Now the real work
begins: fundraising to build
the dream.
The Potter Valley
Community Parks and
Recreation board of directors
has issued an appeal to the
Bond
Continued from Page 1
the pot holes in rural roads to
the congestion on our highways. These funds will be
essential towards correcting
these longtime problems.”
Chesbro said he wished
that the bond included funding for parks and natural
resources but that he was
helping to put another bond
measure on those topics
before
the
voters
in
November.
“While I am disappointed
that natural resources and
parks are not a bigger part of
this Bond package, I am
pleased that the provisions of
SB
153,
my
Natural
Resources Bond, including
funding for fisheries restoration, have been put into a citizen’s initiative which has
completed signature gathering
and is expected to qualify for
the November Election,” said
Chesbro.
The version of the bond
legislation passed by the
Assembly and Senate asks
voters to approve four propositions: $19.9 billion for roads
and transit projects; $10.4 billion for school and university
buildings; $4.1 billion for
flood control; and $2.85 billion for affordable housing
projects.
“The Legislature came
together and put its arms
around an investment that
community to help fund the
new, ambitious project. The
price tag is $2.5 million and
the recreation board has
begun applying for grants
(like the tobacco settlement
funding) and looking into
low-interest loans as well.
One easy way to support
the project is to buy tickets to
upcoming Potter Valley
events including:
• The Potter Valley Spring
Festival and Rodeo on
Memorial Day weekend.
• The Starlight Dance at
the Rodeo on May 27 at 9
p.m.
• The Wine Tasting, Silent
Auction and Vacation
Package Drawing behind the
Potter Valley Cafe June 3 at 4
p.m.
or,
• The Second Annual
Drive, Dinner and Dance at
the Eddie Ranch July 8 at
5:30 p.m.
Anyone can make a direct
tax-deductible donation to the
project at the Savings Bank of
Mendocino County main
branch at 200 N. School St.
in the name of the Potter
Valley Community Parks and
Recreation. You can volunteer
time or materials to the project as well. Or you can contact Joleen Logan at 7431304 for more information or
a donation envelope.
hasn’t been made in decades,”
Assembly Speaker Fabian
Nunez said.
State Sen. President Pro
Tem Don Perata said the projects funded through the bond
package will have an impact
on Californians’ daily lives.
“It’s a good, solid piece of
investment that will help fortify California’s middle class,”
he said.
Schwarzenegger had made
passing a massive public
works spending plan the centerpiece of his re-election year
agenda. During his state of the
state address in January, the
Republican governor proposed selling $68 billion in
bonds to help pay for $222.6
billion in spending over 10
years.
An attempt to place a
smaller bond measure on the
June ballot failed in March
when lawmakers and the governor could not reach a compromise. Despite the legislative setback, polls showed that
Schwarzenegger’s proposal to
upgrade the state’s highways,
bridges, schools, levees and
water systems had broad public support.
He had been involved in
the talks between legislative
leaders in recent weeks, even
as he remained in the background Thursday while the
parties negotiated the final
details.
Lawmakers of both parties
wanted to strike a deal before
they began negotiations over
next year’s state budget.
Those talks will begin after
the governor releases his
revised spending plan next
week.
The package passed by the
Assembly and Senate is only
about half the amount of borrowing originally sought by
Schwarzenegger. But the governor said he was pleased with
the result, thanking leaders of
both parties and praising the
bipartisanship that ultimately
led to the deal.
The votes of at least two
Republicans in the Senate and
six in the Assembly were
required to get the two-thirds
majorities required to approve
the bond bills.
Assembly Republicans had
wanted some rollbacks in
environmental reviews for
construction projects and
greater use of contracts in
which one company both
designs and builds a project.
The Senate passed bills
related to both those policy
initiatives. But Assembly
Republicans refused to support the bill dealing with the
so-called design-build provision for new construction, in
part because they were not
happy with the language.
Both houses also approved
a bill allocating $500 million
from state reserves for immediate levee repairs and a constitutional amendment to protect Proposition 42 gas tax
money for road projects.
“It’s about time we stepped
up and made the investment,”
said Assembly Minority
Leader George Plescia, R-La
Jolla.
Senate shoots down
West Coast fishing aid
By MATTHEW DALY
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The Senate rejected
emergency assistance for West Coast salmon
fisherman as part of a giant spending bill
approved this week, but the senator who
pressed the issue says he will continue the
effort.
Sen. Gordon Smith, R-Ore., tried to add $81
million in disaster assistance for the fishermen
to the $109 billion emergency spending bill,
but the effort was shot down under Senate
rules that limited assistance to natural disasters.
The Bush administration last week
approved a sharply reduced commercial
salmon fishing season in a 700-mile stretch of
Oregon and Northern California coastal waters
to protect struggling returns of chinook salmon
in the Klamath River, which runs between the
two states.
The National Marine Fisheries Service said
the reduced seasons will produce about 40 percent of the normal catch, but salmon fishermen
say they expect only 10 percent of normal.
A spokesman for Smith said his boss will
continue efforts to find relief, whether by redirecting unspent money from the Commerce
Department or some other emergency step.
Smith also is seeking additional aid in the next
federal budget, which takes effect Oct. 1, said
spokesman R.C. Hammond.
“It’s economically devastating to have
restrictions put on the salmon season,”
Hammond said Friday. “You are taking away
their livelihoods.”
Bills by Smith and Democratic Sens.
Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein of
California and Ron Wyden of Oregon are
pending that would provide much the same
relief. House members in the two states are
also seeking relief for fishermen, tribes and
others hurt by fishing restrictions imposed this
year.
The $109 billion bill to pay for war in Iraq
and hurricane relief at home was passed by the
Senate Thursday. But it is much larger than
President Bush says he is willing to accept, and
difficult House-Senate talks loom over how to
cut it back to his request.
Appeals court ducks gay
marriage constitutional question
By DAVID KRAVETS
AP Legal Affairs Writer
SAN FRANCISCO — A
federal appeals court on
Friday sidestepped whether it
was unconstitutional under
federal and state law to deny
gays and lesbians the right to
marry, leaving the issue to
state courts to decide.
The case, brought by two
gay Orange County men who
were denied a marriage
license, leaves Massachusetts
as the only state allowing
same-sex marriage.
A three-judge panel of the
9th U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals said the couple
should await the outcome of
California litigation challenging the state’s law banning
gay nuptials.
Judge Ferdinand Fernandez
wrote that it is “difficult to
imagine an area more fraught
with sensitive social policy
considerations in which federal courts should not involve
themselves if there is an alternative.”
A San Francisco trial judge
has already declared the marriage ban invalid, but the decision was stayed for review by
a state appeals court, which is
expected to hear arguments
soon.
The
federal
lawsuit
exposed a rift in the same-sex
marriage movement, with the
major civil rights groups
opposing it because it could
have led the U.S. Supreme
Court to ultimately shoot
down assertions that it was
unconstitutional to treat
homosexuals differently from
heterosexuals.
Lambda Legal Defense and
Education Fund legal director
Jon Davidson was relieved by
the outcome Friday.
“For us, the battle is still
under way in state courts,
which is where we believe this .
should be, and the 9th Circuit
agreed with us,” Davidson
said.
Lambda and the American
Civil Liberties Union and
other rights groups are waging
gay marriage battles in several
states, including California,
Iowa, Washington, New
Jersey, New York. Without
more states recognizing samesex marriage, Davidson said,
the movement today doesn’t
have a chance before the U.S.
Supreme Court.
But that approach is perhaps losing ground.
Despite recent polls showing Americans increasingly
accept same-sex marriage, the
movement has seen a backlash in the two years since
Massachusetts issued marriage licenses and San
Francisco Mayor Gavin
Newsom’s short-lived and
illegal move to allow gays and
lesbians to marry at City Hall.
Since 2004, more than a
dozen states have approved
constitutional bans on samesex marriage and 19 now outlaw the practice. Voters in
about six states could be asked
to amend theirs similarly this
year.
While Friday’s federal case
challenged both California
and federal rules barring
same-sex marriage, the court
noted that the federal judiciary should stay out of the fight
now and leave it to the states.

Fernandez, joined by
judges Sidney Thomas and
Jerome Farris, added that the
couple doesn’t have legal
standing to sue over federal
laws against same-sex marriage because the pair has not
attempted to acquire any federal benefits of marriage, such
as filing a married income tax
return.
“That they may someday
be married under the law of
some state or ask for some
federal benefit is not enough,”
Fernandez wrote.
The couple, Arthur Smelt
and Christopher Hammer,
who are both 46, did not
immediately return a message
left at their Mission Viejo
house Friday. Their attorney,
Richard Gilbert of Santa Ana,
said he and his clients were
perplexed by the decision, and
were considering appealing to
the U.S. Supreme Court.
“We’re at a complete loss.
The court is saying they think
you need to be married to seek
the right to be married,”
Gilbert said. “We don’t understand the logic of that finding.”
The case is Smelt v. Orange
County, 05-56040.
