Four people reported

The Daily Journal
Americans spend more
than $30 billion annually
on their pets, and statistics
show they’re spending the
money on everything
from pet birthday parties
and dog clothing to accessories and grooming.
“The fastest growing
segment of the pet foods
industry is gourmet dog
treats,” Free Money.com
states in an online article
quoting information from
Entrepreneur magazine.
Lavish spending on
pets also extends far
beyond American shores.

The crash of a small plane just short
of the Willits airport runway Thursday
evening resulted in major damage to
the 1967 Mooney aircraft, and four
people who are lucky to be alive.
Pilot Vivek Reddy, 38, of
Kelseyville, told the Mendocino
County Sheriff’s Office he was flying
friends home to Willits when, just after
7:30 p.m., he found himself flying too
low, and struck treetops.
The next thing he knew they were
on the ground with rescue personnel
arriving shortly thereafter, Reddy
states in the accident report. Calls to
911 were reportedly made by someone
in the aircraft as well as a person at the
airport.

Young people’s artwork sought for contest at Capitol
The Daily Journal
Most Mendocino County children’s artwork
ends up on refrigerators or the walls of classrooms. But now one student could see his or
her work in the U.S. Capitol.
North Coast Rep. Mike Thompson (D-Napa
Valley) announced this week he’s seeking
entries for “An Artistic Discovery,” an annual
art competition for high school students spon-
sored by the House of Representatives. All
high school artists from the First Congressional
District can enter their work in the competiSee ARTWORK, Page 15
Deaths in Mendocino County increased slightly in 2005, according to a
report issued Wednesday by the
Sheriff’s Office, which processed 398
deaths in 2005, 14 more than the previous year.
Slightly more than half of these
deaths were from natural causes. Cases
referred to the Sheriff’s Office by medical authorities, accident, suicides,
homicides and unclassified deaths
rounded out the list.
Referral deaths occur in instances
when death is expected, like hospice
homes, but when a doctor has not
examined the deceased within 20 days
of the death. The law requires sheriff’s
officers to investigate those deaths
even if they are not suspicious, said
MCSO Capt. Kurt Smallcomb.
There were 16 recorded suicides in
Mendocino County last year, down
nine from 25 suicides in 2004. While
the total number was down, seven people, nearly half of those who committed suicide last year, hung themselves.
“That’s more hangings than I’ve
seen before,” Smallcomb said.

Former DA’s administrator to run for auditor-controller
Announces candidacy with
sharp criticism of current
Auditor-Controller’s office
By SETH FREEDLAND
The Daily Journal
Lambasting the Auditor-Controller’s
office as secretive, incompetent and
devoid of leadership, former top administrator of the District Attorney’s Office Al
Roman declared on Friday his candidacy
for the job.
Roman, who recently retired after six
years as administrative executive officer
for the DA’s Office, said he threw his hat
in the race largely because he believes the
current auditor-controller runs his office
with “attitude and disdain.”
Roman’s work as the DA’s chief financial officer has familiarized him with the
county’s budget process, he said, adding it
also helped him see how AuditorController Dennis Huey’s office
stonewalls those seeking information.
“I’ve been troubled by some of the
actions of the auditor in the past,” Roman
said. “(But) there’s also an attitude that
needs to be changed.”
The candidate’s frustrations came to a
head with the county’s treatment of Prop.
172 funding, the state sales tax, labeled
the “Public Safety Augmentation Fund.”
When Roman tried at great length to find

there was no indication of hostile fire.
Members of the Djiboutian military notified U.S. officials at
about 5:30 p.m. local time (9:30 a.m. EST) that the helicopters
had crashed in the Gulf of Aden not far from the Djiboutian
coastal town of Ras Siyyan.
Red Cross estimates 200 dead, 1,500
missing in Philippine landslide
MANILA, Philippines (AP) — A wall of mud and boulders
swept down from a mountainside at terrifying speed Friday,
burying an eastern Philippines farming village in up to 30 feet
of sludge. Officials feared the death toll could climb past 1,500.
The landslide left Guinsaugon — once a community of 2,500
people and an elementary school — looking like a giant patch
of newly plowed land. Only a few jumbles of corrugated steel
sheeting indicate Guinsaugon ever existed.
Rescue workers were hampered by the thick, soft mud that
remained unstable, along with flash floods spawned by two
weeks of downpours that dumped 27 inches of rain. Survivors
and others blamed the weather and illegal logging for contributing to the disaster.
The official death toll stood at 23 after darkness forced suspension of rescue efforts, hours after the morning landslide. But
the Philippine Red Cross estimated at least 200 dead and 1,500
missing. Significantly, only 53 survivors were plucked from the
brown morass on Leyte island, about 400 miles east of the capital, Manila.
Pakistani cleric offers reward
for killing prophet cartoonist
PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) — A Pakistani cleric announced
a $1 million bounty for killing a cartoonist who drew the
Prophet Muhammad. In Libya, a demonstration against the caricatures left the Italian consulate on fire and at least nine people
dead, according to an Italian diplomat.
Denmark, where a newspaper first published the cartoons,
temporarily closed its embassy in Pakistan and advised its citizens to leave the country.
An Italian consular official, Antonio Simoes-Concalves, said
nine protesters had been killed in the demonstration in the
Libyan city of Bengazi as armed police fired bullets and tear
gas on a crowd of more than 1,000 demonstrators.
Libyan security officials said 11 people had been killed or
wounded, but gave no breakdown.
“They are still continually firing,” Simoes-Concalves said
late Friday, speaking by telephone from inside the consulate
where he was holed up. “They haven’t managed to block them.”

Cheney gets ovation from lawmakers
NEW YORK (AP) — The Pentagon will not close its
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas (AP) — His face marked with
tiny birdshot wounds, the lawyer shot by Vice President Dick
Cheney while quail hunting left a hospital Friday, saying “accidents do and will happen” and apologizing for the trouble the
incident had caused the vice president.
“My family and I are deeply sorry for everything Vice
President Cheney and his family have had to deal with,” Harry
Whittington said, his voice a bit raspy but strong in his first
comments since being shot on a South Texas ranch six days earlier.
The Austin attorney spoke less than 20 minutes before
Cheney made his first public appearance since the shooting,
receiving a rousing ovation from legislators in his home state of
Wyoming.
“It’s a wonderful experience to be greeted by such warmth
by the leaders of our great state. It’s especially true when
you’ve had a very long week,” Cheney told lawmakers in
Cheyenne.
Two U.S. Marine Corps helicopters
crash off the coast of Djibouti
WASHINGTON (AP) — Two Marine Corps transport helicopters carrying a dozen troops crashed Friday off the coast of
Djibouti, and two were rescued in the initial search, the
Pentagon said.
The status of the other 10 aboard the CH-53E choppers was
not immediately known, officials said.
A search-and-rescue mission by troops from the United
States, Djibouti and France was under way, according to a statement issued by Combined Joint Task Force Horn of Africa, a
U.S.-led military force headquartered at Camp Lemonier, a
French military base in Djibouti.
The helicopters were on a nighttime training mission at the
time of the crash, whose cause had not been determined Friday
night.
At the Pentagon, a spokesman, Lt. Cmdr. Joe Carpenter, said
Deaths
Continued from Page 1
The Sheriff’s Office investigated 15 homicides this year,
up from 13 in 2004. The statistics did not differentiate
between justifiable and accidental homicides and murders.
The primary weapon in
Mendocino County homicides
was vehicles, which were
responsible for two-thirds of
the deaths. Smallcomb said
vehicles were the weapon in
so many homicides because
any traffic accident that
results in a death, and was
caused by impairment due to
drugs or alcohol, is ruled a
homicide.
“Substance abuse makes
the difference between accident and murder,” Smallcomb
said.
Vehicles were also the
common factor in the majority
of accident-related deaths for
roughly similar reasons.
Seven deaths in 2005 have
yet to be classified. In these
Guantanamo Bay prison for terrorist suspects, despite U.N.
Secretary-General Kofi Annan’s call to shut it down, Defense
Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said Friday.
“He’s just flat wrong,” Rumsfeld said in response to a question about the controversial prison during an appearance at the
Council on Foreign Relations. “We shouldn’t close
Guantanamo. We have several hundred terrorists — bad people,
people that if let back out on the field would try to kill
Americans. That’s just a fact.”
He said closing it would amount to pretending there is no
problem with a terrorist threat to U.S. interests.
Rumsfeld also took a swipe at Annan, saying, “He’s never
been to Guantanamo Bay,” whereas representatives of the
International Committee of the Red Cross “stayed there, lived
there 24 hours a day” to observe conditions.
Imam heard digging before al-Qaida
prisoners broke through mosque floor
SAN A, Yemen (AP) — Sheik Riyad al-Gheili heard the
sound of digging 10 days before authorities discovered 23 convicted al-Qaida prisoners had popped through the floor of the
women’s restroom at his mosque and escaped.
But police, when informed of the strange noises, discounted
the Muslim cleric’s warning.
“When I informed the prison guards of the sounds I was
hearing at night, they told me I’m imagining things,” al-Gheili
told The Associated Press on Friday, giving the first independent account of an escape that has raised concern in Washington
about Yemen’s commitment to fighting terrorism.
The prison break was discovered Feb. 3, when, a few days
after reporting the noise to authorities, al-Gheili again walked
the few steps separating Al-Awqaf Mosque from the Political
Security Department prison — this time, to tell them of a hole
discovered in the floor of the women’s restroom.
Until then, officials at the maximum-security facility had not
been aware the men were missing, al-Gheili said.

death beyond reasonable

include people with mental
health issues who die under
suspicious circumstances but
leave no evidence of an intention to commit suicide, making it difficult to determine if
the death was accidental.

know the cause because of the

A struggle over prayer
among military chaplains
By CARY MCMULLEN
The Ledger, Lakeland, Fla.
There’s a funny moment in a Looney
Tunes cartoon when Bugs Bunny does a
Teddy Roosevelt impression and says, “I
speak softly and carry a big stick.” His
nemesis, Yosemite Sam, screams back,
“Oh, yeah? Well, I speak LOUD and I
carry a BIGGER stick!”
In the controversy in the U.S. military
about what chaplains can say in public
prayers, there are principles of religious
liberty and theology in play, but in the
end, as is often with the military, it may
be about who can speak the loudest or has
the biggest stick.
In at least two service branches, the Air
Force and the Navy, there are internal (but
publicly reported) disputes within the
chaplain corps about prayers at public ceremonies. In practice, Christian chaplains
are permitted to offer Christian prayers
during base or ship worship services, but
they are strongly discouraged from doing
the same during public occasions, such as
change-of-command ceremonies, when
more generic prayers are preferred.
Some outspoken evangelical chaplains
are unhappy about this and have been
pressing for the right to express their personal faith on any and all occasions. The
subtext has to do not just with using
Christian references in a prayer -- the
cross, the New Testament, etc. -- but with
the concluding line of the prayer, “in
Jesus’ name.”
Some evangelicals believe it makes the
prayer efficacious. A former president of
the Southern Baptist Convention famously
said years ago that God “does not hear the
prayer of a Jew” because it is not offered
in the name of Jesus. In the resulting
furor, evangelicals defended him, pointing
out that praying in Jesus’ name has some
biblical warrant as the only way of being
heard by God.
Also, offering a prayer in Jesus’ name
has an evangelistic purpose when the
prayer is uttered in a public setting. Doing
so on a military base is just a variation of
“Jesus” prayers offered at high school
graduation ceremonies or in state or federal legislatures. It can be seen as a kind of
“since I have the microphone, let me tell
you about Jesus” approach.
The competing views are represented by
Navy Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt
and former Air Force officer Mikey
Weinstein.
Klingenschmitt went so far as to go on
an 18-day hunger strike in early January to
win permission to pray while in uniform
as he wishes. The Christian Coalition was
trumpeting Klingenschmitt as a brave martyr who had suffered for his outspokenness, but the conservative Institute for
Religion and Public Policy Web site
reported that the chaplain is a grandstander who is being reprimanded for violation of U.S. Navy Uniform Regulations
and not for performing his duties as chaplain.
Weinstein, who is Jewish and whose
son also attended the academy and complained that evangelicals were dominating
religious and social life, has filed a lawsuit against the Air Force.
On Feb. 9, the Air Force issued new
religious guidelines for its chaplains.
According to the Washington Times, the
guidelines say “chaplains need not recite
prayers incompatible with their beliefs,
but they also encourage ‘non-denominational’ or ‘inclusive’ prayer in public situations.” This basically just codified the
status quo, leaving evangelicals unsatisfied.
It is a legitimate question whether a
chaplain should voluntarily set aside personal conviction under the compulsion of
military regulations. From the military’s
point of view, the need to maintain cohesion and morale among troops of differing
beliefs takes precedence. In those interests, the brass requires chaplains to give
up the freedom to express their personal
faith whenever they wish.
Clearly, evangelicals want the microphone so they can speak loud. But what if
someone else gets the microphone? Would
evangelicals sit still and respectful if it
were handed to a Muslim chaplain who
began to pray “Allahu akbar?” Or to a
Buddhist chaplain who began to intone
“om?”
Evangelicals also want a bigger stick,
and the guy with the biggest stick is the
commander-in-chief. But here they are
being disappointed. Rep. Walter Jones (RN.C.) has been pressing President George
W. Bush to issue an executive order that
would give all military chaplains free rein
to pray however they wish in all circumstances. So far there has been no order.
In fact, the Washington Times reported
that White House domestic policy adviser
Claude Allen, who served Bush for five
years and reportedly promised Jones that
Bush would pressure the Defense
Department to loosen the restrictions on
evangelical chaplains, resigned abruptly
the day before the Air Force guidelines
were released. Apparently, the Defense
Department’s views have prevailed for

In the cartoons, Bugs and Sam resolved
their differences by whacking each other.
Let’s hope our military chaplains aren’t
reduced to that kind of slapstick.

What we need in
Iraq is an exit date
Shooter slips
on a silencer
The luckless 78-year-old Texas lawyer,
Harry Whittington, is in intensive care after a
heart attack, with up to 200 pellets riddling his
face and body -- one stuck in his heart -- from
Dick Cheney's designer Perazzi Brescia shotgun. And still his friend, the vice president, is
Swift-BB-ing him.
Private citizens have been enlisted to blame
the victim. Maybe poor Whittington put himself in the wrong place at the wrong time. But
he was, after all, behind Vice, not in front of
him. And the hunter pulling the trigger is supposed to make sure he has a clear shot.
Wouldn't it be, well, classy for Shooter to
express just a bit of contrition and humility?
Instead, the usual sliming has begun, with
the Cheney camp trying to protect the vice
president by casting a veteran hunter as Elmer
Dud.
Scott McClellan told the White House
press corps that Katharine Armstrong, a lobbyist with government ties who owns the
Texas ranch (and whose mother, Anne, was on
the Halliburton board that hired Cheney as
CEO), "pointed out that the protocol was not
followed by Whittington when it came to notifying the others that he was there."
As the story of the weekend's bizarre hunting accident is wrenched out of the White
House, the picture isn't pretty: With American
soldiers dying in Iraq, Five-Deferment Dick
"I Had Other Priorities in the '60s Than
Military Service" Cheney gets his macho
kicks gunning down little birds and the occasional old man while W. rides his bike, blissfully oblivious to any collateral damage.
Shouldn't these guys work on weekends until
we figure out how to fix Iraq, New Orleans,
Medicare and gas prices?
This version of "The Most Dangerous
Game" neatly follows the four-step BushCheney cycle:
Step1: Set out to pick off what you think is
an easy target, like quail -- in 2003, he went
after stocked, pen-raised and netted pheasant - or a certain sanction-caged Iraqi dictator.
Step2: In the corrupt company of lobbyistcontractor friends, botch things up. Ignore the
peril at hand -- as with, oh, Osama at Tora
Bora, or Katrina, or the Iraq occupation -- and
with steely resolve, indulge your raging
incompetence. (Oops.)
Step3: Stonewall. Resist giving Congress
information about 9/11 or Katrina; don't tell
the public how you're tapping phones at
home, setting up gulags abroad and making
war and energy policy in secret. Why give the
taxpayers, who are ponying up for these
weekend hunting trips, the extraordinary
news that Vice shot his hunting companion in
the face and chest? Scott McClellan knew
before Tuesday's White House briefing at
noon that Whittington was worse, but did not
tell the reporters. He left that to Corpus
Christi doctors, who spun the heart attack as
"an inflammatory response to a metallic foreign BB."
Step4: Admit no mistakes. Express sympathy. Blame the victim without leaving fingerprints by outsourcing the smear to the private
sector.
Trent Lott joked in a meeting Tuesday that
Cheney was now the "shooter in chief," while
other wags noted that Quayle was always a
problem for Bushes.
Presidential staff members and lawmakers
speculated Tuesday about whether Shooter
would resign and make room for Condi if
Whittington did not survive. His death would
trigger a more thorough police investigation
and probably a grand jury.
"Are you crazy?" one Republican senator
told a reporter. "He'd never quit." (Aaron Burr
presided over the Senate after he killed
Alexander Hamilton in a duel.)
The shooter in chief can't quit because he
IS the administration. Who'd even tell him to
quit? If necessary, he'd probably make W. take
the fall.
Despite efforts by McClellan to joke and
urge reporters to get back to "the pressing priorities of the American people," the hunting
debacle once more showed Cheney running
the imperial show.
He didn't talk to the sheriff for 14 hours, or
even call the president to notify him after the
5:50 p.m. accident. Vice left that to Andy
Card, who called Bush at 7:30 p.m. to say
there had been a hunting accident, without
mentioning that Vice was the gunman. Soon
after that, Karl Rove called Bush back with
that little detail.
A reporter, surprised, pressed McClellan:
"The vice president did not call the president
to tell him he was the shooter?"
Usually when there's a White House coverup, the president's in on it.
Maureen Dowd, winner of the 1999
Pulitzer Prize for distinguished commentary, became a columnist on The New
York Times' Op-Ed page in 1995 after
having served as a correspondent in the
paper's Washington bureau since 1986.
Letters from our readers
Let’s move the airport?
To the Editor:
I have heard some really stupid, ludicrous ideas about development in Ukiah
but moving the airport is at the Pinnacle
of Stupidity. I truly wonder if Mr. Stone
and his “consultants” and investors have
any conception of what would be involved
with the FAA alone. What about all the
people who live here and hangar their aircraft here and who commute daily to and
from Ukiah. Per the article in the UDJ,
Mr. Stone says he visited the proposed
site and saw little damage. I find that
more than ludicrous. It is a statement born
out of total ignorance concerning what
would be involved in relocating a municipal airport. I guess we are supposed to
move Fed Ex, the CDF base, and medical
helicopter facilities just so Stone will be
able to sell the “Smart?” Growth people
on his great money making ideas. So,
while the airport is being moved, numerous years involved, how are we supposed
to get packages from Fed Ex? What do all
the aircraft owners do with their planes
when there really are no other places to
hangar them within a reasonable distance.
Golly, it’s just a slight inconvenience for
aircraft owners, businesses that need Fed
Ex, CDF and etc., all in the name of
future development and profit for a selected few. Hey, no impact there! Why don’t
we just calculate how much money these
developers, their so-called consultants,
and investors will make off of all this
“visionary” development and just write a
check to them and tell them to go elsewhere with their visions. It sounds like
Stone and others have the ear of the Smart
Growth people and wants exclusive rights
to all the development in the Ukiah
Valley. If the powers-to-be even think of
entertaining the idea of moving the airport, then they are too ignorant and stupid
to be in any leadership or planning capacity whatsoever.

Join the sustainable communities effort
To the Editor:
A new project was founded on the
premise that the world’s fossil fuel
reserves are already at or near their peak
which could result in food and fuels
becoming unavailable or too expensive.
The members who attended are diverse
individuals from the local community
with an interest in working together to
prepare ahead of time for ways to be able
to maintain our living needs.
The first GULP meeting was a panel
discussion featuring panel members
Richard Heinberg, internationally
renowned peak oil expert and author of
“The Party’s Over” and “Power down,”
Els Cooperrider, local business owner and
Measure H champion, Jason Bradford,
founder of Willits Economic Localization,
and Anne Oliver of Ukiah Valley Smart
Growth Association.
The second meeting was held Feb. 7.
Uniquely different in format from the first
meeting, by using a modified version of a
brainstorming style called World Café, we
were asked three questions: “What does a
sustainable Ukiah look like?” “What are
the strengths and weaknesses?” and,
“What are and aren’t we in control of?”
Among the 30 participants we were on
our way to discovering the local resources
and sustainability potential of greater
Ukiah.
From the way we do business to our
very social lives is structured around the
heretofore abundance of cheap, plentiful
energy and if a decline or distribution failure of these resources occurs we would
need to learn a new system of survival.
Ideas presented included alternative energy sources, biodiversity and permaculture,
conservation methods, alternative forms
of transportation and fuels, and community gardening to name a few. All the ideas
were gathered onto charts and will be collated into categories and levels of importance in preparation for the next meeting.
Building a local economy that can deal
with the emergencies of oil depletion and
its resultant structural changes and still
creating improved working and living
conditions that are self-sustaining requires
individual commitment and participation
from as many members of the community
as possible. The success of the first two
meetings has been very promising. Please
join with us in order to continue this great
project. The contact is Cliff Paulin at 707

Here's the single most depressing tidbit I've seen
from Iraq lately: A new poll has found that among
Sunni Arab Iraqis, 88 percent support violent attacks
on U.S. troops.
So, at least in the Sunni Triangle, the biggest problem isn't Syria or terrorists like Abu Musab alZarqawi, but ordinary Sunnis who want to see our soldiers blown up.
So how should we handle this?
First, we should announce unequivocally that we
will not keep U.S. military bases in Iraqi territory.
Second, we should announce a target date for the
withdrawal of all U.S. combat forces from Iraq -- say,
the last day of 2007. Those moves would help to allay
Iraqi nationalist suspicions -- at least a little bit -- that
the U.S. is simply after Iraqi oil and bases, and would
take a bit of the wind out of the insurgency's sails.
The new poll, which was conducted for
WorldPublicOpinion.org, had some good news for
President Bush. More than three-quarters of the Iraqis
said that ousting Saddam Hussein was worth the hardships they'd suffered. And 64 percent said Iraq was
now headed in the right direction.
But 80 percent of Iraqis said the U.S. sought permanent military bases in Iraq (frankly, they're right),
while 70 percent called for a full U.S. withdrawal
within two years.
It's time to listen more carefully to Iraqis, who
know their country better than we ever will. In the
poll, 64 percent said violent attacks would decrease
after the U.S. pulled out. For Sunni Arab Iraqis, who
are disproportionately responsible for the violence,
that figure is 86 percent. Other polls show roughly the
same: Iraqis are suspicious of our intentions, and they
want us out.
The single biggest mistake we have made since
World War II has been the failure to appreciate nationalism, whether in China, Southeast Asia or Latin
America -- or, now, Iraq. Given the origins of the U.S.
-- an insurgency fueled by the maladroit policies of
King George III, who never understood American
nationalism -- you'd think we would be more sensitive
to such sentiments, but throughout history great powers have always had a blind spot for indigenous
nationalism.
Craziest of all is our refusal to renounce long-term
bases in Iraq. Keeping alive the bases option increases
the antagonism toward us, adds to the risk that Iraq
will completely fall apart and leads to more maimed
Americans. It's not worth it.
As for withdrawal, I believe that an immediate pullout would be irresponsible and would leave Iraq worse
off. But a two-year timetable for withdrawal would
give Iraqi security forces time to consolidate power,
and would weaken the strongest card the insurgents
have: the argument that they're protecting the motherland from imperialist Yankee crusaders.
A timetable would also put pressure on Iraqi politicians to cooperate and govern, and it would make the
U.S. more of a partner and less of a national scapegoat.
It's true that Iraqis wouldn't fully believe our
announcements, and the insurgents certainly won't lay
down their weapons. But the insurgents can operate
only with the tacit support of ordinary Sunni Arabs -and the poll showed that many of those Iraqis would
be less hostile to the U.S. if there was a timetable for
withdrawal.
As Gen. George Casey Jr., the top commander in
Iraq, told Congress in the fall, the U.S. presence "feeds
the notion of occupation," while reducing the troop
presence would begin "taking away an element that
fuels the insurgency." And Gen. John Abizaid, who
speaks Arabic and has extensive Middle Eastern experience, added, "We must make clear to the people of
the region that we have no designs on their territories
or resources."
Abizaid is right, so it's time to renounce publicly the
pipe dream about bases. There's a parallel with Saudi
Arabia, where we clung to U.S. bases because we
thought they gave us a strategic advantage and flexibility. But those bases outraged Saudi nationalists and
gave fundamentalists like Osama bin Laden a cause
that rallied supporters. Instead of an advantage, we
gained an albatross -- and now we're doing the same in
Iraq.
The biggest intelligence failure of the neocons in
Iraq wasn't the assumption that Saddam had WMD. It
was the conviction, as Dick Cheney put it, that "we
will, in fact, be greeted as liberators." Anyone who had
actually visited Iraq and talked to Iraqis knew that was
nonsense, but the administration never seemed to hear
ordinary Iraqi voices or make allowances for Iraqi
nationalism.
I'm afraid the administration still doesn't.

Willits counselor brings
Speaking Circles to county
For the first time in Mendocino County,
Willits-based clinical hypnotherapist and personal coach Doreen Blumenfeld will be offering a series of workshops on Relational
Presence through Speaking Circles later this
year.
Speaking Circles International are groups of
six to eight individuals that offer a natural way
for people who want to communicate with
clarity, confidence and authenticity. This
process is currently offered throughout the
United States, Europe, Canada, Japan, and
Australia as well as other countries. Founded
in 1989 by Lee Glickstein, author of Be Heard
Now, Speaking Circles International programs
transform the way people communicate with
each other.
Blumenfeld has two series just starting that
are full. However, she has a drop-in Circle the
first Saturday of each month for individuals
who want to experience the process and
reserve a seat in future Circles.
Speaking Circles are used for a variety of
purposes such as increasing public speaking
skills, overcoming shyness or increasing communication skills. Special groups such as adolescents, ADD sufferers, couples, corporate
management groups, health care providers, as
well as most individuals benefit from the
process.
Blumenfeld, CHT is a wellness counselor
with more than 20 years experience, a clinical
hypnotherapist and a certified speaking circles
facilitator. She recorded the best-selling CD,
“Journey into Deep Relaxation.”
Preregistration is required for all Circles.

Search is on for replacement
marines for the 2nd Division
Marines who have ever served with or been
attached to the famous 3rd Marine Division are
now the object of a search by the 2nd Marine
Division Association. The 2nd Division has a
great history of service, including WWI,
WWII, Korea, Viet Nam, Lebanon, Cuban
Crisis, Panama, Somalia, Grenada, Dominican
Republic, and the Persian Gulf. It has always
been a supportive organization for present and
former Marines of the 2nd Division, with the
majority falling into the WWII category -Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Saipan, Tinian, Okinwa
and the occupation of Japan. It has always been
a magnet point for locating and getting together with old buddies. It also has an excellent
scholarship program for children and grandchildren of present and former 2nd Division
Marines.
Since most members have been WWII vets,
most whom are now in their 80’s, the organization is slowly losing members due to age and
some disabilities. To maintain the 2nd Division
as a gathering place for present and former 2nd
Division Marines and to maintain the scholarship for their offspring, the organization is
actively seeking younger members to join their
ranks and perhaps participate in some of its
reunions and other events. WWII vets who
haven’t joined as yet are certainly welcome,
according to Paul (Jerry) Goforth, membership
chairman and 1st Vice President. Goforth has
asked that anyone interested in more information or joining the Association should contact
him at P.O. Box 1693, Yucca Valley, CA 92286
or call him at (760) 365-2473.

Mendocino College’s Marcus Hansen grabs a rebound Friday during the Eagles 69-63 loss to Los Medanos
College in Ukiah.
Playing in front of a crowd
that honored Mendocino
College’s 2006 Hall of Fame
class, the Eagle men’s basketball team almost pulled off a
comeback worthy of the legends in attendance for
Friday’s matchup against Los
Medanos College.
Almost.
Mendocino rallied from a
21-point second half deficit to
pull within seven points of
Los Medanos with two-and-ahalf minutes left, but couldn’t
complete the rally, losing 6963.
The Eagles finished the
season 8-8 in Bay Valley
Conference play to finish the
season fourth in league after
losing their last four games.
“The last two weeks didn’t
go that well,” said Mendocino
College head coach Kevin
Koch. “We were dealing with
a lot of sickness towards the
end of the season and had a
couple of kids that even
ended up in the hospital. It’s
our highest league finish in a
quarter of a century, but it is
disappointing not to get the
wins we needed at the end of
the season.”
Mendocino dug itself a
huge whole in the first half,
converting just two field
goals in the first 10 minutes of
the game on the way to a 176 deficit. Jordan McNamee
paced the Mustangs in the
first half, scoring 14 of his
team high 17 points and hitting four 3-pointers, including
one at the halftime buzzer for
a 35-21 lead.
“I made my first shot
tonight, which helped me take
that stress off of my shoulders,” McNamee said. “When
I got the ball with time running out I just had to kind of
throw it up and I got lucky.”
In the second half
Mendocino came out and let
Los Medanos build on its
lead, falling behind 49-28
with 13 minutes to play.
The Eagles then got a boost
from the freshman guard
Jared Giammona, who hit a 3pointer to spark a 9-0
Mendocino run capped by a
Steven Polanco layup and
then a Polanco to Novak dish
that cut the Los Medanos lead
to 64-57.
Giammona scored 16 of his
19 points in the second half,
with his lone points in the first
half coming on a 3-pointer
with under a minute to play.
“I just started to shoot the

Mendocino College’s Tamara Daniels goes
up for a shot Friday in Ukiah.
Michelle McMullen is the first
to admit that it’s been a tough
season for her and her
Mendocino College teammates,
with the Eagles mired in last
place in the Bay Valley
Conference.
But
that
didn’t
mean
McMullen and her teammates
were going to go out without a
fight in Friday’s finale against
Los Medanos College. Not by a
long shot.
“It has been a tough season,”
McMullen said. “But we pulled
together as a team tonight.”
Behind McMullen’s 15 points,
11
rebound
double-double
Mendocino won its second BVC
game of the year in convincing
fashion,
63-44
over
the
Mustangs.
“This gives us a nice finish to
the season,” said Mendocino
College head coach Stan Weiper.
“We’ve been playing consistently
better basketball in the second
half of the season and hopefully
this is something we can take
with us.”
The Eagles opened up the
game with a seven minute, 12-0
run, and were sparked by Jennifer
Edgar’s play off the bench. Edgar
came on to hit three 3-pointers in
the first half, the last to give
Mendocino a 37-13 lead with just
over one minute to play.
The Eagles went into the break
with a 38-16 advantage.
In the second half, Los
Medanos was able to come within single digits twice, first on a
Deana Deleon 3-pointer with
nine minutes to play that made
the score 48-39, and again on a
Beth Costa layup that made the
score 53-44 with three minutes to
play.
Mendocino sophomore Misti
Foster’s clutch free throw shooting, going 6-for-8 in the last two
minutes, sealed the win for the
Eagles.
“It feels great to go out with a
win,” Foster said. “I wasn’t nervous at the end. I just didn’t wan
tit to end. If we would have started the way we’re playing now...”
Foster finished with 14 points,
nine rebounds, and four steals in
her last game in a Mendocino
uniform. Mikala Knoll finished
with six points and 11 rebounds
and Tamara Daniels finished with
nine points. Edgar scored 11
points.
Alyssa Barnes led the
Mustangs in scoring with 20
points.
Los Medanos head coach
Richard Villegas wasn’t a happy
camper after the loss. Villegas
declined comment on the game,
then said that he “wasn’t happy
with the way things went.”
Villegas assistants also seemed
a bit touchy, too.
When asked if Villegas was
going to be coming out of the
locker room, one assistant coach
responded with a terse, “don’t
worry about it,” and a wicked
stare down.
For Mendocino, though, it
seems there may be brighter days
ahead. A lot of the Eagles future
is dependent on whether
McMullen will return for her
sophomore campaign.
McMullen is already a sophomore academically after spending
a year at Gonzaga University
before transferring to Mendocino,
and could leave if she wishes.
But Weiper hopes she doesn’t.
“I really do hope she stays,
she’s an incredible asset,” Weiper
said. “I’d love to have another
season with her.”

Piazza reports to camp
CUSTOMIZED
PEORIA, Ariz. — Mike
Piazza wasn’t making any
bold predictions about Italy’s
chances in the World Baseball
Classic as he reported to
spring training Friday morning.
But the San Diego Padres’
new catcher is proud to represent Italy.
“The biggest thing for me
is to try to promote the game
in Europe a little more,” said
Piazza, who signed as a free
agent in January. “I love
Europe. I love the history. I
love the food. The worst thing
that can happen is the game
becomes more popular in
Italy.”
Piazza agreed early on to
participate in the international
tournament, which runs from
March 3-20. He affirmed his
commitment after speaking
with Padres CEO Sandy
Alderson, who is helping to
organize the event and was
instrumental in securing the
semifinal and championship
games for Petco Park.
Everett Pio and Ryan Larue,
6-0, 6-0.
Also for the Indians, Luke
Kriken and Stewart Davy
defeated Jesse Gernert and
Jared Thornton, 6-0, 6-1 in
doubles action.
The tennis team opens its
regular season March 8, hosting Piner.
Matches begin at 3 p.m.
Speedskating stars align

now teams are starting to recognize that.”
That doesn’t mean the
usual individual highlights
will be absent. Bryant said he
plans to help the Rockets’
Tracy McGrady have a big
game in front of his home
fans, and he’s eagerly awaiting his matchup with Iverson.
Bryant leads the 76ers guard
by two points per game in the
race for the regular-season
scoring title.
Bryant has averaged 20.8
points in his six All-Star
appearances, two more than
Iverson
“I look forward to it,”
Bryant said. “You know he’s
going to compete no matter if
it’s the All-Star game, on the
playground, or versus the
Lakers. He’s going to compete
hard.”
So will James, who also
averages more than 30 points
and will start for the East for
the second straight year.
“It’s great to be back,”
James said. “This is for the
fans. They want to see you
here and I’m going to showcase my talent the best I can.”
That’s usually the goal of
every player in the All-Star
game, but things might be different this time — at least
when the Pistons are in the
game.
And since their style of
play has worked so well thus
far, maybe other will be persuaded to mimic it Sunday
night.
“This week we’re on the
same team,” Miami’s Dwyane
Wade said, “so we all have to
go out there with one thing in
mind, and that’s to go in and
keep it in the East this year.”

to come out with a win.
In other singles matches,
Kelseyville’s Andrew Davy
defeated Phil King, Jr., 6-0, 62. Ukiah’s Michael Blanford
lost to Ryan Kriken, 6-2, 6-2,
in the other singles match.
In the first doubles match,
Kelseyville’s Keith Hulsey
and Lance Woodson shut out
Willits boxing program
players for years, and a big
reason why the United States
has fared so poorly in recent
international tournaments.
Those players have now
made their mark in the NBA.
The West could have Yao
Ming (China), Pau Gasol
(Spain),
Dirk
Nowitzki
(Germany), Steve Nash
(Canada) and Tony Parker
(France) on the floor at once.
“More than anything, we
know that basketball is not
only a U.S. sport anymore,”
Nowitzki said. “It’s become
global over the years. We have
people from China in the
league, we have Africans in
the
league,
we
have
Europeans in the league. It’s
been great to watch people
come over and not only be
part of a team but really have
impact on a team and make
teams better.”
It’s also made All-Star
weekend the global event it

(AP)

Sometime during the first
quarter of the All-Star game,
Flip Saunders is planning to
send his four Detroit Pistons

Friday, teamwork might be set

likely be on the high-scoring
stars such as Kobe Bryant,

But the Pistons think
there’s a place for the kind of

“I think people will understand that when we go in

Saunders said. “A few years
ago ... there were rule changes
that were made to make the
game aesthetically better and

our league is going.”

Is team play coming
to the All-Star game?
By BRIAN MAHONEY
AP Basketball Writer
TURIN, Italy — The
Olympic oval was quiet and
pristine on the first off day for
speedskating. The stands were
barren. The distinctive clicks
of the skates — normally
drowned out by the crowds —
were easily heard as two
Americans got in some lastminute training.
“It was just beautiful out
there,” gold medalist Joey
Cheek said after coming off
the ice. “There’s just a handful
of skaters out there. That’s
why we skate — for days like
this.”
And days like Saturday.
The 1,000 meters could go
down as THE speedskating
race of the Turin Games, featuring a world record holder, a
guy who wants to give away
more money to charity, and
the silver medalist from the
last two Olympics — not to
mention Chad Hedrick, still
positioned for one of the great
performances in speedskating
history.
“It should be amazing,”
Cheek said. “There’s so many
fast guys.”
Much of the focus will be
on Hedrick and fellow
American and world record
holder Shani Davis, whose
refusal to skate team pursuit
might have cost Hedrick a
chance to go after Eric
Heiden’s record of five gold
medals — adding a little soapopera intrigue to an already
glamorous event.
But Davis is clearly the
more accomplished skater
over 1,000 meters, so this
might not turn into much of a
head-to-head showdown. Just
look at the start list: Hedrick
was assigned to the fourth of
21 pairs, while the higherranked skaters — Davis,
Cheek and Dutch star Jan Bos
among them — will go off in
the later groups.
Even two of Hedrick’s
teammates don’t think he’ll
get a medal in the 1,000.
“If you want my opinion,
I’d say no. I don’t think he can
do it,” Casey FitzRandolph
said after training with Cheek
on Friday, a blunt assessment
of Hedrick’s medal chances
that takes into account his lack
of experience in the 1,000.
“You’re looking at a guy
who’s got very, very good
chances in three races.”
This isn’t among them.
Cheek, who already won
gold in the 500, pointed out
that his starts are usually
eight-10ths of a second faster
than Hedrick’s — a huge gap
to make up in a 2 1/2-lap race.
“I don’t want to put anything past the guy,” Cheek
said. “But this is his weakest
individual event.”
So, who are the favorites?

Start with Davis, the lone
wolf of the U.S. team. Then
move quickly to Cheek, who
dominated the 500 and donated his $25,000 bonus to a
charity run by retired speedskating icon Johann Olav
Koss — a gesture that will be
repeated with any money
earned in the longer sprint.
FitzRandolph could get into
the mix; he’s eager to make up
for a poor showing in the 500.
The Dutch have two strong
contenders in Bos, who won
silver in this event at the last
two Olympics, and Erben
Wennemars. Russian Dmitry
Dorofeyev and South Korea’s
Lee Kyou-hyuk could get on
the podium.
Of course, no one is willing
to write off “The Exception,”
as Hedrick is known. After all,
he’s the one who switched
over from inline skating after
the 2002 Salt Lake City
Olympics and became a world
champion 18 months later.
He’s the one who defies all
conventional methods of
training.
He’s the one who likes to
celebrate triumphs with late
nights and colds beers while
everyone else is in bed.
Who’s to say he couldn’t
pull off another exceptional
feat?
“I feel good that I’m able to
be one of the few people that
can be in the 1,000 meters and
still potentially be the 10,000meter Olympic champion as
well,” Hedrick said. “The better my start gets, the more
competitive I’m going to be.”
He already won gold in the
5,000 with a dominating race,
and there’s still the 1,500 and
10,000 — two events in which
Hedrick holds the world
record — to be skated next
week. But he’s not conceding
anything in the 1,000.
“It’s just going to be first
200 meters that determines
the race for me,” Hedrick said.
There are other subplots, as
well.
Hedrick is still ticked off
that the Americans were beaten in the quarterfinals of team
pursuit. “When he gets mad,”
said his coach, Bart Schouten,
“he usually comes back harder than before.”
And there’s the Davis factor. One of the few black athletes in the Winter Olympics,
he has stood apart from the
rest of the U.S. speedskating
team by training alone, generally avoiding the media and
deciding not to take part in
team pursuit — a severe blow
to American hopes.
Hedrick did skate, saying
he would never pass up a
chance to represent his country, but a slower teammate
doomed the three-man squad
in the quarterfinals.
The other U.S. skaters —
Hedrick included — have
defended Davis’ right to focus
on his individual events, especially since team pursuit was
making its Olympic debut.
Even FitzRandolph, who’s
had a frosty relationship with
Davis, said he understood the
reasoning behind the decision.
“I’m not going to be the
first guy to compliment
Shani,” FitzRandolph said.
“But I can’t blame him for this
one. This has always been an
individual sport. You have to
be a little selfish about it.”
Still, the whole issue is sure
to be rekindled Saturday.
“Something like this isn’t
what motivates me,” Hedrick
insisted. “As soon as I get on
the ice, it’s business. I’m not
out here playing around.”

Reid, Teeters lead U.S. women lose shot at gold
Ukiah into playoffs
By GREG BEACHAM
The Daily Journal
The Ukiah girls basketball team picked up the
fourth playoff spot in the
North Bay League with a 5140 win over Elsie Allen
Thursday.
The Wildcats were led by
double-doubles from sophomore Carrie Reid and junior
Francesca Teeters. Reid finished with 12 points and 17
rebounds, and Teeters finished with 12 points and 13
rebounds.
Ukiah was able to bounce
back against Elsie Allen

spectacular 6-for-34 from
the field in the first half. The

instead of aiming I was just
letting it go,” Giammona
said. “I hit a couple of free
throws early to get in a
rhythm and that helped.”
Los Medanos converted
key free throws, a problem
for the Mustangs all season,
after Mendocino had cut into
its huge lead to seven.
“We haven’t played well
this season and tonight was
one of the few nights where
we had everybody healthy,”
said Los Medanos head
coach Derrick Domenichelli.
“Our Achilles Heel all season has been putting teams
away at the end and tonight
we did it. I also thought we
played one of our better
defensive halves.”
Mendocino will have to
find a way to replace 6-foot9 center Ben Novak in the
off-season, and translate the
Wildcats went 12-for-26
from the field in the second
half.
Emily Learn hit a big 3pointer for Ukiah when Elsie
Allen had cut the lead to 3130 in the third quarter.
“That was a big shot for
us,” said Ukiah head coach
Bill Brunemeyer. “After that
we had a comfortable lead
and they never got close
again.”

eight points for Ukiah in the
win.

“I know it’s so cliche, but
we’ve got to get bigger,

said. “Time will tell, because
a lot of this is going to be
how individuals respond in
the off season. We’ll sit
down and have exit meetings
with the guys in a couple of
weeks and see where we’re
at, what their experience was
like and what they want to
set for future goals.”
Koch’s top returning scorer, Polanco, agreed with his
coach.
“We’ve got to get bigger,
stronger,” Polanco said.
“That’s the only way we’ll
get better for next year.”
TURIN, Italy — The U.S.
women’s hockey players gathered in a circle at center ice,
raised their sticks and waved
them to their fans in one
sweeping arc over their heads.
It was a routine repeated
game after game after game in
these Olympics and before,
but this time was different.
You could see it in their eyes,
red with tears and looking at
anything but the giant group
hug being staged by the exuberant, wiggling heap of yellow jerseys behind them.
The Americans had been
beaten, and for the first time
since women’s hockey went
international in 1990, by
someone besides Canada.
Sweden won 3-2 in a
shootout in the Olympic semifinals and will play Canada, a
6-0 winner over Finland in the
other semifinal, for the gold
medal on Monday.
“This has been a long time
in the making for our game,”
said American defenseman
Angela Ruggiero, a three-time
Olympian. “They say there’s
no parity in women’s hockey.
Well, now you know better.”
The architect of the
Swedish upset was 19-yearold Kim Martin, a cool, 5foot-4 wisp of a goalie with a
brick fortress painted on her
mask.
She stopped everything the
Americans shot at her in the
final 48:56 of regulation and

saves, and then turned away

The United States women’s hockey team looks on in
disbelief after losing to Sweden Friday.
Americans’ preparation for
Turin, cutting longtime captain Cammi Granato and then
opting for a short pre-Olympic
training camp and tour.
“We had plenty of leadership on this team,” said Smith,
a longtime advocate for better
development programs in
every nation. “This is where
the game is going. It’s not just
about us and Canada.”
The U.S. barely made it to
the shootout, surviving a late
5-on-3 disadvantage in which
a Swedish player missed an
open net. And the Americans
actually went 0-for-5 on four
chances against Martin in the
shootout: Ruggiero got a second chance when Martin
moved too early, but she
missed an open net.
After U.S. captain Krissy
Wendell missed and Maria
Rooth finished it with a low
stick-side shot, the Swedes
mobbed Martin.
They joined hands and
skated around the ice to the
cheers of a small rooting section, while hundreds of
American fans stared blankly
or cried.

When she was only 15,
Martin led the Swedes to the
bronze medal in Salt Lake
City. On Friday, she was the
difference in a watershed win
that proves women’s hockey
is growing.
“This is the greatest thing
to happen to women’s hockey
in Sweden and everywhere
around,” Martin said. “We
knew we were getting better
and better all the time. We
needed to beat the U.S. or
Canada to show it.”
“I think we’ve got a young
team, (but) it’s not an excuse,”
said Jenny Potter, a three-time
Olympian. “Things didn’t go
our way. Their goalie stood on
her head, and we didn’t bury
it. It’s hard.”
Canada and the U.S. had
never lost to anybody except
each other in a match at the
World Cup or the Olympics.
But the Americans barely
rallied past Finland on
Tuesday before losing to
Sweden, which lost 8-1 to
Canada in the preliminary
round. Parity has arrived —
and the world benefits from
the U.S. loss.
“It’s always been two countries that can win the gold,”
said Mats Naslund, the president of the Swedish Hockey
Federation. “I think Canada is
too much ahead in this
Olympics, but it gives the
girls a chance for the next
Olympics to catch up.”

Sunday, Feb. 19, 2006
Hard work and preparations which you have been
undertaking for the past
number of years are about to
bear fruit in the year ahead,
but not necessarily in the
exact areas you have anticipated. Success will have its
surprises.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-
The Ukiah
Feb. 19) -- Important objectives are reachable today,
but your routes to success
may be suspect and not as
easy to follow as you first
surmise. Be tenacious when
you meet with roadblocks,
not timid.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March
20) -- Be careful and resolute when making promises
to others today, because they
will depend upon you and
hold you to your word. This
will be particularly true of
your mate or loved ones.
ARIES (March 21-April
19) -- When asked to help
solve some problems for
others today, your logic is
very intellectual and surpasses your feelings. Yet
where your own interests are
concerned, emotions may
dominate.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20) -- There is nothing
wrong with your judgment
today, but for reasons known
only to you, you may satisfy
yourself with easy answers
instead of getting to the root
of matters. Probe more
deeply.
GEMINI (May 21-June
20) -- You could be quite
fortunate today in workrelated issues or financial
situations, provided you
don’t allow yourself to get
socialite, is 25.
TODAY’S SPORTS: In 1990, Dale
Earnhardt Sr. got a flat tire on the last lap
and lost the Daytona 500 auto race, after
leading for 155 laps.
TODAY’S QUOTE: “There is really
nothing more to say -- except why. But since
why is difficult to handle, one must take
uptight and thereby put
obstacles in your own path.
CANCER (June 21-July
22) -- Two sides of your personality may be in force
today. Those who are in
accord with your actions and
way of thinking will be the
recipients of your warmth
and
congeniality.
Challengers, however, may
experience your wrath.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - Your desire to be charitable
to others is a noble aspiration and should be applauded. However, be careful
today that you don’t obligate
yourself beyond your capabilities to provide.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22) -- Being with close
friends today will provide
you with a great deal of
refuge in how.” -- Toni Morrison

below zero, making it the coldest planet;
Venus is the hottest, at about 867 degrees F.
TODAY’S MOON: Between full moon

delight and pleasure, but if
you get involved in a competitive situation, don’t permit one-upsmanship to enter
the picture.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.
23) -- If you are prepared to
overcome any serious negative influences that might
arise today involving money
matters, financial arrangements should still work out
profitably for you.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
22) -- Do not permit selfdoubts or negativism to
override your positive thinking today. Concentrate on
the blue skies that raise your
hopes and not on the fear of
pebbles getting in your
shoes.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.
23-Dec. 21) -- A number of
benefits could come your
way today, but not necessarily through your own efforts
alone. Unless you are prepared to acknowledge your
collaborators, hard feelings
will result.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19) -- Even though
your personal self-interests
may attempt to induce you
to do otherwise today, follow those wonderful urges
that dictate that you do what
is best for the largest number.

CHALLENGER

their letters for the "Order Grid" so each
vertical column, horizontal row, and two
diagonals each ADD to numbers inside
thick lined cells.
B. Some correct numbers with their letters
have been put into the "Order Grid" to

Answer: What the diners did for their lobster dinner —
“SHELLED” OUT
Learn to accept rudeness with grace in a small town
Dear Annie: I am a 20-year-old woman,
and I have been dating a most wonderful young
man for the last four months. We have a good
relationship, but there is a situation that keeps
coming up that I never know how to handle
tactfully.
I live in a small town, and whenever we go
out anywhere -- restaurants, parties, church,
school -- people feel it is their business to
inquire if we are getting married. I have no idea
what prompts them to ask us this question.
There is no ring, and we have not been together for a terribly long time. We have been hearing, “So, are you two going to get married?”
since our second date.
Maybe we ought to just do it, since the
whole town seems to think it’s a good idea, but
I would like to get to know him a bit better.
More importantly, before agreeing to marry
someone, I’d like to have an actual proposal
from him -- one that’s his own idea, and not a
response to nosy, rude people.
ANNIE’S MAILBOX
By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
I don’t know how to reply to this question.
Once I said, “Well, not today,” but that’s the
best I could manage. My boyfriend, of course,
says nothing, which I think is very smart of
him. When, and if, there is a ring on my finger,
I’ll tell the world, but right now, I could use
your counsel. -- Not Engaged Yet
Dear Not Engaged: This is one of the hazards of living in a small town where everyone
knows you and expects to know your business.
You’d best learn to react with grace and humor.
Like your boyfriend, you can smile and say
nothing, forcing the busybodies to keep asking,
which makes them sound idiotic. Or you can
reply, “I promise to let you know,” and change

the subject immediately.
Dear Annie: I recently gave my youngest
granddaughter a gift card and a complete
scrapbooking kit for her birthday. The total
worth was around $100.
That same night, I got a call from my son
saying he and his wife felt the gift was meanspirited and that I did not spend enough money.
After all, I gave their other daughter a complete nursery when she gave birth to my first
great- grandchild, and we helped another son
buy a condo.
I felt that the birth of a first great-grandchild
was a momentous occasion, and that helping
our son buy his first condo was another, and I
cannot see the correlation between a birthday
and these other major events. But since then,
none of them has spoken to us, not even a card
or a phone call.
Our hearts are breaking. What, if anything,
is the solution? -- Grieving
Dear Grieving: What nerve. Your son’s
family sounds greedy and selfish. Of course an
ordinary birthday is not on the same level of
gift-giving as a first great-grandchild or a first
condo. Birthdays come every year, and no one
can afford to splurge like that for every occasion. Do they think you’re Donald Trump?
Write your son a letter and apologize. Tell
him you understand he wants you to treat each
of his children exactly the same, no matter

what, and from now on, you will. Then be sure
not to spend a dime over $100 regardless of the
event (and we think that’s plenty generous as it
is).
Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Happy
Son-In-Law, USA,” who said in 32 years of
marriage, his mother-in-law never said an ugly
word. He adored her.
He has to be kidding me! Most sons-in-law
have to endure a life of intrusion, imposition
and revocation of their paternal rights. My
mother-in-law wants everything and gets it.
This includes spending way too much time
with our infant daughter and influencing every
decision my wife makes. Her behavior has left
our marriage on shaky ground, and we are now
in counseling. -- Miserable in Kentucky
Dear Miserable: Not all mothers-in-law are
like yours, and we’re glad you are in counseling. Let us know how things work out.

those dollars in the county
budget -- he said he eventually found them mislabeled in
“some obscure fund” called
Sales Tax Special -- he asked
Huey if members of the public could look in the budget
and find their sales tax revenues. Huey, according to
Roman, replied in the negative.
Roman then conducted a
survey of 14 counties of various sizes, all of which categorized the money as the
“Public Safety Augmentation
Fund” with stated formulas to
credit the DA’s Office, the
Sheriff’s Office and other
agencies. “In Mendocino
County,” Roman said, “we
don’t do that. When you try to
find out information, everything is a big secret.”
Roman, who has never
before run for public office,
also castigated the auditor’s
office for multiple errors he
said he has detected.
In 2003, for example, the
auditor disclosed the county
would need to pay back
$137,000 in state insurance.
This sum was exaggerated
due to a paperwork omission
with timekeeping records,
Roman said, and could have
been solved in-house. But
instead Huey requested the
taxpayers shoulder the burden, Roman said.
Roman
traveled
to
Sacramento to meet with state
insurance officials over two
days and discovered a
$40,000 error “just by looking
at the problem,” he said. The
general fund ended up paying
nothing from the incident, he
said, adding that would not
have happened without his
trip.
Also in Roman’s focus is
the oft-stated statistic that
Mendocino County holds the
biggest per capita debt of all
counties statewide. Told that
officials pin that figure on a
small population and various
pension obligation decisions,
Roman dismisses both by noting that many small counties
do not have Mendocino
County’s problem and that
every county in California
struggles with pension difficulties.
“I’m not saying those people aren’t doing their job,”
Roman said. “There’s just a
certain level of incompetency
we shouldn’t tolerate. There’s
a profound failure of management and leadership. I don’t
have anything really to say
about my opponent, but if
you’re going to elect (Huey’s)
protege, nothing will change.
(This election), for me is trying to bring these issues to
light because we need a
change.”
Meredith Ford, Huey’s
assistant auditor-controller
for the past 13 years, declared
her candidacy for the race in
November 2005.
are among items that have
pushed Australian spending
on pets above what the nation
spends on foreign aid,” states
a report by the Australia
Institute.
Or as Kelly Boesel, owner
of Blue Ribbon Pets in Ukiah,
puts it: “People do for their
pets what they won’t even do
for their children.”
That doesn’t mean they’re
spoiling them, said Boesel,
who has worked with animals
for more than two decades -at Blue Ribbon Pets since
1993 and with a veterinarian
for 10 years before that.
“It’s not spoiling ... it
depends on your definition of
spoiling ... some people think
I spoil my daughter because
she has dance classes, she
goes riding, she has lots of
animals and we do fun things
together, but there are rules
associated with that. She has
chores, she needs to show
appreciation for what she has,
and she has to follow the rules
of the house.
“So when people spoil their
pets, it’s not that they are giving them something for nothing; they are getting some-
thing in return: love, companionship and appropriate
behavior ... hopefully,” she
said.
Still, Boesel acknowledged
people spend lots of money on
their pets.
“It starts from birth. People
will spend huge sums of
money to buy just the right
dog, just the right cat, bird,
horse ... If we are talking puppies ... there are special puppy
beds, chew toys, bowls, leashes, ... then we start with puppy
training classes, lessons, veterinary care ... then, the sky’s
the limit,” she said.
“You can get customized
dog beds, personalized items
... it doesn’t matter what it is,
if someone thinks they want it
for their pet, someone is
already making it,” she said as
she flipped through a magazine advertising pet products.
Take, for example, specialty perfumes and colognes by
Les Pooches, glittery charms
that attach to dogs’ collars and
rhinestone barrettes that go in
their hair.
“Some companies even
make dog crate covers to
match your living room furniture,” Boesel said, as she
stood inside her grooming,
boarding, and doggie day care
business, where toys, treats,
collars, leashes, sweaters and
grooming products line the

One student from Thompson’s district will have a
painting, drawing or other
creative
endeavor
in
Congress’ home for a full
year, along with his or her
name. This year’s winner will
receive three roundtrip airline
tickets to Washington D.C. as
well as automatically qualify
for a $3,000 scholarship to the
Savannah College of Art and
Design.
Semi-finalists will be chosen from each of the seven
counties in the district -- Del
Norte, Humboldt, Lake,
Mendocino, Napa and parts of
Sonoma and Yolo -- and from
those, one finalist will be
selected for art placement in
the Capitol.
“I encourage our high
school students to participate
in this competition. We have
had a great response in the
past, and I am always tremendously impressed with the
quality and originality of the
entries,” Thompson said in a
statement. “It’s a wonderful
opportunity to recognize the
outstanding talent of the students in our district.”
The deadline for entry is
March 29. To register for the
competition, interested students can contact their art
instructors or Thompson’s
Fort Bragg office at 9620933.
Reddy said the plane was
running fine before the crash,
and there was no indication
anything was wrong with it.
He was just flying too low,
according to the report.
He was taken to Howard
Memorial Hospital with facial
injuries and lacerations, and
was treated and released.

walls. A large library of pet
behavior and training books
sit on a shelf, and jewelry and
even pet urns also take up
space inside the local business.
Puppy spas -- offering massage, mud baths, manicures
and more -- are a way of life
for some dogs living in metropolitan areas. Dog bakeries
are also common in larger
cities.
“Birthday parties for dogs
are also a big thing, with
cakes, presents, games and
doggie friends,” Boesel said.
“There is no limit to what people will spend,” she said, noting this is especially true in
larger cities, where there is
more money.
However, Boesel noted,
“This area is starting to catch
on to spoiling our pets. ... The
attitude is changing; it’s
becoming more acceptable for
everyday people to pamper
their pets. Before it was the
domain of the fabulously
rich.”
Take, for example, one of
Boesel’s biggest sellers: -“Putting on the Glitz Glamour
Sweater” -- a pink sweater
with maribou feather trim
around the neck and the ends
of the sleeves, with a rhinestone necklace accent. These
sell for $20 to $25, she said,
but there are boutiques in the
big cities selling dog sweaters
for hundreds of dollars.
For the weary pooch, there
are dog beds and then there
are dog beds made out of
black velvet cushions trimmed
with pink feathers, which sit
up off the floor on a cast iron
bed frame with fancy scrollwork. The same magazine featuring those fancy dog beds
also shows another one with a
wooden frame, designed
much like a day bed.
Rosie Finnegan, who was
sitting outside Taqueria eating
lunch with her husband, Mike
Finnegan, and their dog,
Leroy, laughed a “you bet”
laugh when asked if they
spoiled their dog.
Mike answered the question by rephrasing it. “What
don’t we do for him? ... We
buy whole roasts for him,
steak for him ... He sleeps in
our bed, he flies with me and
he works with me every day.”
Still, their Jack Russell/fox
terrier-mix is not into material
items like rhinestone jewelry
or fou-fou perfumes.
“He’s a country dog,” Mike
said, “but I do brush his teeth
every morning.”
“It’s terrible ... we went to
Thailand, and I missed our
dog more than our kids,”
Rosie said. “The dog loves us
unconditionally.”

A dog in the plane was
“fine, but a little shaken up
and scared,” according to
Little Lake Fire Protection
District Chief Jeff Smith, who
responded to the incident.
Emergency
personnel
arrived at the scene of the
crash -- a clearing about oneeighth mile south of the airport -- to find “the plane on
the ground with four people
inside,” Smith said. Fuel was
leaking from the upright aircraft, its front wheel was torn
off, its motor was dislodged
from the frame, and both
wings were heavily damaged,
he said.
“They all know they were
extremely lucky. If you are
going to crash, it couldn’t
have gone any better,” Smith
said.

dog, Yogi, as her “four-legged

“He gets to go everywhere
with me. He sleeps with me. ..
He gets a bath once a week.
He gets lots of toys and treats
... we have a tab here at Pet
Porium. Every week he gets a
new toy,” she said as she
smothered him with kisses.
Vicki Milone, of Hopland,
also inside Pet Porium on
Friday, said she brings her
boxer into the house every
morning to give him a treat. “I
feed him whatever nobody
else wants ... this morning he
had salami.”
Her husband, Jim, said
their dachshund, Oscar, has
his own bed inside the house.
Their son, Andrew, said he
made Oscar a T-shirt to wear
to bed. He even drew a happy
face on it.
Asked why, the young pet
owner said, “‘cause he looks
funny in it and it keeps him
warm too.”
“The dog gets free food; we
get entertainment,” Jim said.
Asked why they love their
pets, Vicki said, “It’s unconditional love -- both ways, and
they don’t ask you any questions.”
