Talamo’s body was discovered by friends Tuesday morning; it is unknown exactly how long he had been dead when he was found. The circumstances of his death are unknown, but Sheriff’s Capt. Kurt Smallcomb said it appeared that Talamo was partying with friends before his death. Foul play is not suspected.

Awards honor volunteers who help downtown Ukiah The Daily Journal The Ukiah Main Street Program held its annual volunteer awards dinner Thursday night to honor a number of local businesses that help keep the Ukiah downtown thriving. “From time to time, a special honor -- the ‘Spirit of Main Street Award’ -- is bestowed on an individual, company, or organization that best exemplifies the tenets of the Main Street Program,” said Joy Beeler, executive director of Ukiah Main Street. “This award is given to a volunteer who gives outstanding service to the Ukiah Main Street Program, gives unselfishly of his or her time and energy, and is always there to help; those who give ‘From the Heart’ and just plain get what we’re all about.” Although it’s not an annual award, this year Ukiah Main Street gave its Spirit of Main Street Award to Shannon Riley, owner of Shoefly and Sox. “Shannon helped plan our first Home for the Holidays this past year, something that will be carried on for years to come,” Beeler said. The De Los Santos Award for volunteerism goes to one “jolly old man”: Main Street’s “Santa,” George Phelan, who has volunteered his time and stepped into the role of Santa Claus for too many holiday seasons to count. “He has a wonderfully warm personality, interacts fantastically with children of all ages and brings so much joy to our program every year,” Beeler said. Ukiah Main Street’s sponsor of the year awards were given to two well-known local businesses: Thurston Auto Plaza and Eagle Distributing. “The Main Street Program has See AWARDS, Page A-11 See TALAMO, Page A-11 A sodden California is stumbling toward the wettest year on record, with water managers closely watching stressed levees as a seemingly endless string of storms continues to dump water into the state’s rivers. In Ukiah, the current rainfall level is unseen since 1998 -- when there were about 73 inches of rain -- and in 1983, when Ukiah saw 69 inches. Except for the New Year’s weekend flooding, Mendocino County has been largely unaffected by the deluge, as emergency officials said Central California was suffering the brunt of the seemingly endless rain. The high-water levels have seen little impact, said interim Emergency Services Coordinator Gregg Smith, but the rains have been heavily saturating the county’s soil. “Landslides, mud flow -- that’s what we’re keeping an eye on,” he said. “Flooding is not a concern.” The local district of the Army Corps of Engineers, which oversees Lake Mendocino’s Coyote Valley Dam, have upped the water release to 2,000 cubic feet per second. In other rain-related local alterations, Highway 175 over the Hopland Grade was closed Monday, but on Wednesday the grade had reopened to two-way traffic. Mendocino County is “looking good” despite the frequent downpours, Smith said. He added with a laugh: “I’m ready for sunshine.” Of particular concern statewide is the lower San Joaquin River, said Gary Bardini, chief of hydrology and flood operations for the California Department of Water Resources. “This is a wet year. If someone wants to see what a wet year looks like, this is it,” he said. “1983 was the wettest year on record (for the See WET, Page A-11 Mathematics Framework now available for public viewing The Daily Journal State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O’Connell announced Tuesday that the 2006 edition of the Mathematics Framework for California Public Schools, kindergarten through grade 12 is now available to view online or in hard copy. The Framework provides additional directions on how all students in California public schools can best meet the math content standards, including those students performing at, below, and above grade level; English learners; special education students; and others with special learning needs. “Student achievement in math throughout the state has increased over the last several years, but there’s always room for improvement,” O’Connell said. “Some students are still in danger of not mastering the math skills measured by the California High School Exit Exam and are struggling in their preparation for algebra, both of which they need to pass to earn a diploma. The additional directions provided in the Framework are designed to address that problem.” The Framework is based on the math content standards adopted by ‘Some students are still in danger of not mastering the math skills measured by the California High School Exit Exam and are struggling in their preparation for algebra, both of which they need to pass to earn a diploma.’ JACK O’CONNELL, state superintendent the state Board of Education in 1997. It builds on the standards and provides guidance for curricula development, instructional materials, instructional practices, assessment and staff development. Recognizing that districts need a variety of math instructional materials, the Framework calls for three types of programs: basic grade level (kindergarten through grade eight), intervention (grades four through seven), and algebra readiness (grade eight or above). By providing local educational agencies with additional choices in selecting instructional materials, O’Connell expects these new intervention and algebra readi- ANNIVERSARY SALE OF THE OUR BEST YEAR! SALE ness materials will help all students successfully complete algebra I. Appendix E of the Framework describes in further detail the content of these two new types of specialized instructional math materials. In November 2007, the State Board of Education will be adopting math instructional resources for kindergarten through grade eight. The Framework is available on the California Department of Education Web site at Curriculum Frameworks - Mathematics.

In a court filing, Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald stopped short of accusing Cheney of authorizing his chief of staff, I. Lewis Libby, to leak the CIA identity of Valerie Plame. But the prosecutor, detailing the evidence he has gathered, raised the possibility that the vice president was trying to use Plame’s CIA employment to discredit her husband, administration critic Joseph Wilson. Cheney, according to an indictment against Libby, knew that Wilson’s wife worked at the CIA as early as June 12, 2003, more than a month before that fact turned up in a column by Robert Novak. Libby faces trial next January on five counts of perjury, obstruction and lying to the FBI about how he learned of the CIA identity of Wilson’s wife and what he told reporters about it. The indictment says Cheney told Libby in June 2003 that Wilson’s wife worked at the CIA. Moussaoui jury hears emotional impact of Sept. 11 on children who lost parents ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) — The stories and photos of four young children, all of whom lost parents in the 9/11 attacks, brought witnesses to tears and visibly affected jurors Thursday at the death penalty trial of al-Qaida conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui. The second phase of the sentencing trial — to determine whether Moussaoui deserves execution or life in prison — opened Thursday. Early on, prosecutors played videos of the two hijacked jetliners hitting the gleaming World Trade Center towers. They also showed videos of people plunging more than 80 stories to their deaths and punctuated their presentation with family photos of loved ones. Each hour the emotional impact grew. Former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani retold the now-familiar tale of his own harrowing experience in debris-choked lower Manhattan on Sept. 11, 2001. But it was not until he spoke of the daughter of one of his closest aides, Beth Petrone Hatton, that Giuliani’s voice quaked and broke. Firefighter Child psychiatrists shortage inflicts toll nationwide NEW YORK (AP) — In state after state, bleak statistics and grim anecdotes lead to the same diagnosis: America suffers from a serious, long-term shortage of child psychiatrists that is taking a toll on young people, their parents and their doctors. Wyoming is down to two child psychiatrists; another left last year. In Augusta, Ga., Dr. Sarah Sexton tells would-be new patients she might be able to see them in July. Elsewhere, doctors take no new patients at all. “There is no state where it is not a problem — none,” said Dr. Gregory Fritz, director of child psychiatry at Brown Medical School in Providence, R.I. “We see it in the emergency ward every night, where problems have gotten out of hand over time due to lack of intervention, and progress to a point where a kid is suicidal or dangerous.” The shortage has been noticed within the profession for years, but psychiatrists say the consequences are worsening as the stigma of mental health problems recedes and more families seek help for their children, including prescriptions for psychiatric drugs. Ancient manuscript unveiled on relationship of Jesus, Judas WASHINGTON (AP) — For 2,000 years Judas has been reviled for betraying Jesus. Now a newly translated ancient document seeks to tell his side of the story. The “Gospel of Judas” tells a far different tale from the four gospels in the New Testament. It portrays Judas as a favored disciple who was given special knowledge by Jesus — and who turned him in at Jesus’ request. “You will be cursed by the other generations — and you will come to rule over them,” Jesus tells Judas in the document made public Thursday. The text, one of several ancient documents found in the Egyptian desert in 1970, was preserved and translated by a team of scholars. It was made public in an English translation by the National Geographic Society. Religious and lay readers alike will debate the meaning and truth of the manuscript. But it does show the diversity of beliefs in early Christianity, said Marvin Meyer, profesSee BRIEFLY, Page A-12 DEATH NOTICES • Sheila Walsh, 61, of Willits, died Sunday, April 2, 2006.

Well-versed in poetry A poem is “a vivid and imaginative sense of experience” according to my dictionary’s definition. Doesn’t that sound alluring, something that might broaden and deepen our sensitivities and our perceptions, enlivening us in the process? The next bit describes poetry’s “condensed language chosen for sound, power, and meaning.” Wow, it’s short and packed with goodies. What’s not to like? Last, poetry is characterized by its use of “such literary techniques as structured meter, natural cadences, rhyme, or metaphor.” “Aye, there’s the rub,” as Mr. Shakespeare, the poet known for perfecting the sonnet, says. If it’s been years since you’ve read or heard poetry or you never understood the poems you did read, meter, cadence, and metaphor may sound intimidating. But local poets, the County Library, the Ukiah Poet Laureate Committee, and Writers Read are working to make poetry more accessible to everyone. And since April is National Poetry Month, there are plenty of opportunities for us to access it. “I first became interested in poetry in grammar school because it provided me a safe place to express emotion,” explains Ukiah poet Armand Brint. “Poetry is important especially in our culture where we run at such a frenetic pace. Poetry gives us the opportunity to stop and tune in to the news of our inner selves,” he says. In honor of National Poetry Month, Ukiah Reference Librarian Eliza Wingate and Willits Librarian Donna Kerr will be offering “A Poem a Day” to library patrons. Kerr says, “I got the idea one year as I watched people in line at the Ukiah Branch. They looked har- [email protected] The Ukiah Daily Journal In Our Own Words By Dot Brovany ried; they were waiting with their kids to check out a pile of books, probably thinking about their mortgages or the next thing on their list to do. I realized I had a captive audience. And my question was ‘Does poetry matter anymore?’” The poetry handouts proved to be popular and have become an April staple. “Whether it’s Shakespeare, Keats, Mary Oliver or whoever, people want to read it and want to be moved. Someone expresses what we need to hear. Poetry does matter,” concludes Kerr. Another program focused on making poetry accessible to all is the Ukiahaiku Festival scheduled for April 23. The Festival, at the Ukiah Conference Center from 3 to 5 p.m., will feature readings by the top finishers in each of eight categories. To get us warmed up, here is last year’s winner in the 10-12th grade General Topic division. The poet is Ukiahan Vincent K. Brock. Note that his haiku is vivid, imaginative, condensed, powerful, and has structured meter and metaphor. Hovering above Silver but always changing Snow piles in the sky See WORDS, Page A-10 Five years of FIRST 5 By RICHARD ROSIER The Daily Journal For the past five years, FIRST 5 Mendocino has been using a 5 percent tax from tobacco sales to fund programs focused on children ages 0 to 5 years of age. FIRST 5 Mendocino has upheld its mission to use its resources to establish, fund, coordinate, evaluate and advocate for programs that promote the health and development for young children in Mendocino County by funding various local initiatives. One of the initiatives that FIRST 5 Mendocino funds is the Compensation and Retention Encourage Stability program. This program supplies stipends to child care providers according to their level of education and training. This stipend has allowed providers to purchase new games for the children under their care, as well as hiring substitutes to fill in while they receive further training. Another initiative that FIRST 5 Mendocino has supported is the Kits for New Parents. This program offers new parents in Mendocino County free kits, available in both English and Spanish, that includes a “first book” parents can read to their babies and a series of 20minute videos that educate parents in the following areas: importance of the early years; quality child care; safety; health and nutrition; discipline; and early literacy. Though FIRST 5 Mendocino has accomplished much in the last five years, the program is not resting on its laurels.

Investing in Ukiah’s future The chances are, in recent years you have read about the S. H. Cowell Foundation in this newspaper. The headline would read that a local non-profit organization has received a large ($100,00 to $650,000) grant to assist with their work. In fact, since the Cowell Foundation began making grants in Ukiah in 2001, they have granted well over two million dollars for local projects, all aimed at improving the quality of life of low-income children and families. Why is S. H. Cowell Foundation, a private family foundation from San Francisco, making such a large investment in Mendocino County? It is part of their strategy to make “place-based” grants. After careful evaluation and community meetings, the Cowell Foundation selects communities where they believe they can make a difference. Unlike the Bay Area, where non-profits can turn to a multitude of private foundations, the communities the Cowell Foundation selects have, “limited access to other private and philanthropic resources.” When the Cowell Foundation selects a community such as Ukiah, they support complementary projects in affordable housing, family resource centers, K-12 public education and youth development. Their publications explain: “Most important to us is the quality of the relationships and connections among the people and organizations within a community. In deciding where to make grants, we look for towns or neighbor- Giving Back By Susanne Norgard hoods where residents, public and nonprofit service providers, educators, and civic leaders are working together to improve the quality of life of lowincome children and families.” A few weeks ago, the Cowell Foundation‚s President Ann Alpers, Director of Grants Lise Maisano, and other staff members were in Ukiah to meet with the Cowell grantees and to see what progress is being made in improving life for low-income families in Ukiah. Represented at the meeting were organizations that have received significant grants from the Cowell Foundation including Nuestra Casa, the Rural Community Housing Development Corporation, SPACE, The Alex Rorabaugh Cultural and Recreation Center, and Plowshares. Also represented were the public schools. The Community Foundation was invited because the S. H. Cowell Foundation provided a pivotal $250,000 to the Community Endowment Fund last year, enabling that fund to reach its one million dollar goal. The people at the meeting shared the many accomplishments that have been made possible by Cowell grants and also discussed the future changes they would like to see in Ukiah. A major goal is to improve high school graduation rates among our young people through programs including parent education and outreach. Developing community leadership and cooperation is another goal. People are looking for ways to improve communication and understanding between ethnic communities, as well as between different community interest groups. I spoke with Lise Maisano to get a sense of what she had found most rewarding about her work in Ukiah. She said, “In every community where Cowell makes grants, I get excited by our grantee’s passion for improving conditions for children and families. That passion is certainly present in Ukiah. I have already seen organizations take major leaps forward in terms of the services they are able to offer to families in the community. In future visits, I look forward to seeing how the pieces all come together and how the lives of children who live in poverty are improving.” If you are interested in learning more about the S. H.

How and when to plant tree seedlings For those of you still planning to plant tree seedlings, you probably know it is a little late in the season to be planting. The best time to plant tree seedlings in Mendocino County is at the beginning of the rainy season after 6 inches of rain has fallen. The idea is to plant tree seedlings as soon as the ground is wet enough to easily create a hole and at a time when the ground will remain consistently moist for several months while the seedling becomes established. Planting this late in the season may mean that in order for your seedlings to survive you will need to water them and or plant them in strategic locations so that they are protected from excessive sun and wind. Once you have your seedlings, it is best to plant them right away or store them proper- Tree Tips By Thembi Borras ly if you need to delay planting. In storage, you are trying to prevent the roots from drying out at the same time mold from forming, which requires a delicate balance of air circulation and moisture. In addition to planting the seedling immediately, knowing how and where to plant will increase the chances that your seedling survives. Plant your seedling outside the drip line of existing trees, but opt for places that provide some protection from exposure. An excellent location is on the north side of a decaying log. Grass is a fierce competitor to seedlings, so if you plan to plant in grassland scarify an area down to bare mineral soil 12 inches to 24 inches in diameter, this buffer must be maintained until the tree is established. Although it is more important to pick the right spot, shoot for a distance of 8 feet to 12 feet between trees. Make sure your hole is deep enough for the roots of the seedling to be fully extended. Then while holding the seedling fill the hole with dirt and tamp. Don't leave any air pockets near the roots. You can further increase the chance the tree will survive through maintenance, including removing competing brush and doing deep watering once every two weeks.

You can also go to www.fire.ca.gov/php/rsrcmgt_statenurseries.php for information on purchasing seedlings from the State Nursery at Magalia. I welcome responses as well as ideas for future Tree Tips.

A-4 – FRIDAY, APRIL 7, 2006 FORUM Editor: K.C. Meadows, 468-3526 VIEWPOINTS Letters from our readers Aren’t we all Americans first? To the Editor: Theodore Roosevelt had it right. He wrote,”We have room for but one language here, that is the English language ... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.” He went on to write, “... it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person’s becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American ... There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American Flag ...” All legal immigrants are welcome now as they have been in the past. They are welcomed to America, to become an American, nothing less. Without a national pride and the “American” culture our country is doomed to chaos and obliteration. A well known radio talk show has said that “Borders, Language and Culture” are the most important of all challenges we face today. He is absolutely correct! Richard Howland Ukiah Bilingual education most important To the Editor: The lack and under-representation of Latino and bilingual law enforcement personnel in our community is due to the lack of bilingual education, the incomprehension of different cultures, and the ignorance of our own history. I will say that Latinos are more than 35percent of our county’s population, and we are also the fastest growing group, as well. Spanish language is the main Latino language and is not only the second most spoken language around the world, but the second most important language spoken in the United States of America. Mendocino County was an important Spanish settlement, and so California, the whole state. In this county we are proud of our diversity, and Latinos proud of our SpanishMexican cultural background, but for some reason Latinos still remain underrepresented in all areas of our society, and therefore is a need of bilingual (EnglishSpanish) policemen, teachers, farmers, clerks, lawyers, nurses, construction workers, social workers, doctors, and even judges. I think the main obstacle to fulfill those needs is our educational system, because schools are concerned about students learning English and forgetting their Spanish, and that is very wrong because hundreds of new immigrant families from Mexico and other Spanish speaking countries enroll their kids in the public schools all year around, and many of them don’t speak any English. The consequence of this is that those students will be left behind and if they are undocumented, high school will be the maximum educational level reached, so they won’t have the same opportunities than those who were born here. But at the same time, those who were born here are immersed in a monolingual educational system where Spanish language is like a hobby and is not considered with the importance that it deserves. In Europe most first world countries are bilingual or trilingual because they have the same kind of education. In Mexico most private schools and some public schools teach English as second language. We have a North America Free Trade Agreement between Mexico and the United Sates, our economies need from each other. So it is very important for all of us to learn two or more languages, especially at young age. In my case, as an immigrant from Mexico, I feel blessed because in Mexico, I studied and learned English language in a bilingual elementary school. I never studied this language after that, and then I came to the United States six years ago. Thanks to the basic grammar and spelling skills acquired when a child, I am able to keep learning, speaking and improving in this language. I believe in bilingual education, so I believe in a reasonable solution for our social needs in our community regarding the need of bilingual persons, not only bilingual, but bi-cultural too, because the language is just one part of a culture, and in our community stand out many aspects of the Mexican culture, even if many of the times are not reflected in important social issues.

ELIAS Realities dictating an immigration compromise Other opinions From around the nation The Tampa (Fla.) Tribune On tracking prescription drugs In 2003 a statewide grand jury found an alarming percentage of prescription drugs in Florida had been altered or stolen for illegal resale somewhere between their manufacture and their acquisition by hospitals, clinics, doctors and pharmacies. As a result, insurance companies and Medicaid were bilked. Worse, patients were hurt. As just one example, a Michigan man who thought he was injecting his son with growth hormone learned after the boy complained of pain that he had given him insulin, purchased from a legitimate Florida pharmacy. The prescription label had been changed by a counterfeiter. The Legislature responded to the grand jury report by passing a law that strengthened licensure requirements for wholesalers and ordered them to start recording every transaction from manufacturer to dispenser starting July 1, 2006. With the deadline approaching, some wholesalers are complaining that the new rule would slow down drug delivery and that software vendors stand to benefit. But Attorney General Charlie Crist, grabbing a potent issue for his gubernatorial campaign, says the industry has had more than a decade to figure out how to manage so-called pedigree papers. He says this is a public safety issue - potentially a matter of life and death - and the Legislature shouldn't reward those who've dragged their feet. The question is whether Crist has a solution to a problem or whether a problem exists that needs solving. Before lawmakers vote to let the rule go into effect, they should figure that out. Star Tribune, Minneapolis On the pipeline “Spills happen” has been the response, more or less, of the pipeline operator and its regulators to the largest leak of crude oil yet recorded on Alaska's North Slope. A section of 34-inch pipeline, which gathers crude oil from various wells and moves it into the trans-Alaska pipeline, rotted away from the inside out. Gosh, says the British Petroleum subsidiary that runs the network, corrosion is a known problem in these 30-year-old pipes, but we had no idea this one was giving out so fast. The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation is full of praise for BP's quick response and vigorous cleanup program, skipping over the part about how the hemorrhage went undetected for five days, at least, before a guy happened to step out of his truck at the right place and smell oil. Anyway, it's 40 below now and the oil is so thick it can be scooped right off the tundra. Heck, maybe 90 percent of it can be put back in a pipe and shipped to a refinery. These have got to be among the last people on earth - outside the Bush administration, where it's an official article of faith - who can say with apparent conviction that oil drilling can expand across the North Slope, and into the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, without environmental harm. They know better than anyone that the operations centered on Prudhoe pro- duce, on average, better than one spill per day. Yes, some of them are small; yes, not all of them are crude oil. But in the eight years ending in 2004, they totaled 1.9 million gallons. All by itself, the latest leak has tainted a two-acre section of tundra with more than a quarter-million gallons of crude oil _ enough, a pocket calculator suggests, to cover it nearly 5 inches deep. This is exactly the kind of accident that is supposed to be unthinkable these days, prevented by the technology that lets pipelines and pristine wilderness coexist. The 34-inch pipeline that failed was fitted with stateof-the-art sensors, installed just two years ago, that are required to detect a leak as small as 1 percent of the flow (BP claims they can actually register a leak half that size). But they didn't notice this gusher, and nobody can explain why. Nor has anybody explained why BP hadn't given the line a thorough internal inspection since 1998. The main point is that oil production in Alaska is both conducted and chiefly regulated by people whose highest interest is in seeing the crude keep flowing with as few interruptions as possible. People like the petroleum engineer who told a newspaper (with a straight face, we presume) he blamed the recent spill on environmentalists, because the leak occurred in a section buried under gravel for the convenience of migrating caribou. It really would be nice if oil exploration could keep expanding across the North Slope without repeating this filthy history. But as this big spill reminds us anew, that's only a pipe dream.

That's because the estimated 12 million illegals now in this country are not leaving and no one is about to throw them out. The pressing need today, then, is not for punishment or criminalization, but for ways to assimilate them while also protecting borders and keeping the numbers stable. An attempt at this will be the essence of the federal compromise today's heated debate in Congress will surely produce. Much of this was put in bas relief by the landmark demonstrations of last month and those that have continued since. Before March, no demonstration in American history ever involved as many as 10 percent of the persons affected by whatever issue aroused the event. That's why it meant so much when gigantic crowds turned out across California and the rest of the nation to protest tough immigration measures okayed by the House of Representatives. There were at least 500,000 in Los Angeles, 300,000 in Chicago, 200,000 in New York City and tens of thousands more in places like San Jose and Atlanta. Together, they added up to almost 2 million by police estimates; more if you accept the figures purveyed by march sponsors. In short, if you accept three things - the police numbers, the federal estimate of 12 million illegal immigrants now residing in this country and the assumption that most demonstrators were undocumented - then this was proportionately the largest demonstration ever involving persons affected by one issue. The huge demonstrations and many smaller ones by high school students that followed made it plain that one aim of hard-line anti-illegal immigrant advocates will never happen: No one can deport every illegal alien. Which means some kind of compromise must occur, and that's just what appears to be emerging from the ongoing debate in the U.S. Senate. While sheer numbers preclude any law demanding deportation of all illegals, there will be a larger-thanever effort to secure borders. Few in Congress are resisting the idea of building large walls covering hundreds of miles in border areas that get the most illegal traffic. At the same time, tunneling under the border will likely become a felony. In one Senate floor speech, California Democrat Dianne Feinstein reported visiting a well-lighted half-mile-long, eight-foot-high tunnel leading from a warehouse in Tijuana to another in San Diego, with 300-pound packages of marijuana found at either end. "Today," she said, "there is no law that makes building or financing such a tunnel a crime." Almost certainly, it will be a federal offense soon. Also almost certain is a doubling of the Border Patrol's size over the next five years, adding about 2,500 troopers per year. But harboring or employing illegals will almost surely not become a felony, as the House bill provides. Not only would enforcement require a host of new federal agents, but it could lead to arrests of clergymen and others guilty of little more than feeding and housing the desperately needy. Less clear is the shape of the guest worker plan also likely to be part of the eventual compromise. There is too much opposition to allow a repeat of the amnesty program okayed by President Ronald Reagan in 1986, one that produced more than 3 million new United States citizens. But a recent Feinstein experiment debunked the common claim of anti-immigration activists who argue that American citizens or legal immigrants can be found to fill virtually all jobs now taken by illegal immigrants. Feinstein had welfare departments in all 58 California counties post notices advertising jobs in agriculture, detailing locations and working conditions. Not one person responded anywhere in the state, she reports. "That was pretty convincing evidence to me that Americans don't choose to do this work," she said. But it must be done. Strawberries and almonds and oranges must be harvested. Cars and dishes need to be washed and hotel rooms cleaned. When the Minutemen helped cause a momentary drop in illegal immigration last fall, farms throughout the Central Valley reported severe labor shortages and complained they might lose part of their crops. So immigrant labor is necessary, and it will continue. But history indicates that guest workers won't usually return home when their allotted time is up. So far, no one offers a remedy for this reality. Which means that while compromise is now all but a sure thing, it is also certain the outcome will not please anyone with strong feelings on either side. Which, of course, is what compromise is all about. Thomas D. Elias is a syndicated columnist. The Ukiah DAILY JOURNAL Publisher: Kevin McConnell Editor: K.C.

Ukiah pitcher Lindsay Kiely kept her hot streak alive, improving to 5-1 and striking out 11 Lobos batters in six innings of work. Kiely gave up just three hits and walked two batters before giving way to Sarah Neustel, who notched one strikeout in the seventh inning. “After a two week layoff, I’m happy,” said Ukiah head coach Gary Venturi. “Lindsay still pitched good, and everybody on the whole TODAY MLB Atlanta at San Francisco, 7 p.m. (FOX) NBA Dallas at San Antonio, 5 p.m. (ESPN) Houston at Golden State, 7:30 p.m. (FSN) Los Angeles Lakers at Phoenix, 7:30 p.m. (ESPN) GOLF The Masters, Second Round, 1 p.m. (USA) TENNIS WTA Bausch & Lomb Championships, Quarterfinal, 10 a.m. (ESPN2) SATURDAY, APRIL 8 MLB Atlanta at San Francisco, 1 p.m. (FSN) NASCAR Busch Series, O’Reilly 300, noon (FOX) NBA Golden State at Denver, 6 p.m. (FSN) GOLF The Masters, Third Round, 12:30 p.m. (CBS) NHL Anaheim at Los Angeles, 3 p.m. (NBC) COLLEGE HOCKEY NCAA Tournament Final, 4 p.m. (ESPN) COLLEGE FOOTBALL Oklahoma Spring Red/White Game, 11 a.m. (ESPN) TENNIS WTA Bausch & Lomb Championships, Semifinal, 10 a.m. (ESPN2) YOUTH SPORTS Los Medanos edges Eagles Little Caesar’s edges McDonalds, 3-2 Little Caesar’s edged McDonalds, 3-2, in both teams opener of North Ukiah Little League play.

KRT Photo Services Vijay Singh takes a shot Thursday at Augusta National in Augusta, Ga., on the first day of The Masters. Singh is in first place after day one with a score of 67. First day is all Vijay By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press AUGUSTA, Ga. — In his office overlooking a super-sized golf course, Masters chairman Hootie Johnson must have been smiling. For all the dread that the latest changes to Augusta National went over the top, the Masters had a familiar look Thursday, starting with Vijay Singh atop the leaderboard. The former Masters champion fired off three straight birdies on the back nine for a 5under 67, his best start in this tournament and a round he felt was long overdue. There was a surprise, as always, in Rocco Mediate (68), and another strong debut by a Masters rookie, this time from Arron Oberholser (69). For sentimental value, look no further than 54-year-old Ben Crenshaw, whose short game carried him to a 71, his best round on this course since he closed with a 68 to win his second green jacket 11 years ago. Tiger Woods had to settle for a 72, no change there since he has never broken 70 in the first round. “This is probably one of the better rounds I’ve played out here,” Singh said. Johnson heard plenty of criticism in the days leading up to the Masters, particularly the extra length on the par-3 fourth (240 yards), the tree-lined seventh (450 yards) and the frightening 11th hole, which measures 505 yards and has a dozen more pine trees planted down the right side of the fairway. Singh had a simple two-putt from just off the back of the green at No. 4, hit 7-iron into 20 feet for birdie on the seventh and made one of only two birdies — Mediate had the other — on No. 11 by carving a 5-iron around a tree and into 10 feet. The result was a one-shot lead and a shot of confidence he badly needed — he hasn’t won since August. “I don’t know if it was easier,” Singh said. “I think the golf course was pretty tough from See VIJAY, Page A-8 See DIGEST, Page A-8 After suffering through two weeks of inactivity due to rain, the Mendocino College baseball team returned to Bay Valley Conference play Thursday against Los Medanos in Fairfield, losing 3-2. Los Medanos ace Chris Bodisbaugh picked up a complete game pitching win for the Mustangs, who improved to 11-1 in BVC play, with their only loss coming at the hands of Mendocino on March 18. The Eagles fell to 2-8 in league with the loss. “We played about as well as we could for being off for so long,” said Mendocino head coach Matt Gordon. “We’re not going to win a league title, but we shouldn’t have a losing record in our conference, because we’re not that bad. “Now is the time we need to string some wins together.” Freshman Justin Bautista picked up the loss for the Eagles, going 7 2/3 innings, giving up six hits, walking three, and striking out four. Mendocino battled back to tie the score twice in the game, the first time on a two-out single by Ryan Lamson that scored Corey Broin to make the score 1-1 in the top of the fourth inning. The Eagles tied the score at 2-2 in the fifth on another two-out single, this one coming from Justin Malec and scoring Travis Mather. Los Medanos scored the winning run in the bottom of the sixth inning on a sacrifice fly after two runners reached on bunts. “This is just us right now, and the funk we’re going through.” Gordon said. “We’ve got to figure out a way to get out of it.” Weather permitting, Mendocino will host Napa Valley College Saturday in a doubleheader slated to start at noon. Ukiah 6-0 in NBL The Daily Journal The Ukiah boys golf team improved to a perfect 6-0 in North Bay League play Thursday, defeating Piner at the brand new Fairgrounds Course at the Sonoma Race Track, 305-385. Graham Beard and J.J. McMillen led the way for the Wildcats, each coming in with a 1-under par score of 57. “I think everybody played really well,” said Ukiah head coach Chris Philbrick. “Especially on a course they’d never seen before.” The Fairgrounds Course is a nine hole course, and was forced into use because Piner’s home course is still draining. Ukiah’s Michael Gaspar didn’t finish much off of his teammates, coming in with a 59. Max Brazill and Jared Hull both came in with a score 65 to round out the scoring for the Wildcats. Rain has forced Ukiah to postpone its tournament, originally scheduled for April 10, until April 24.

We passed with flying colors.” Nicki Taylor was one of several Wildcats who had a field day at the plate, going 2-for-4 with an RBI and a double. Taylor also scored four runs. Senior Chelsea Meeker also went 2-for-4, smacking a double to go with her four RBIs. Katie Ott and Sarah Laughlin each went 2-for-5 with two RBIs, Neustel was 2-for-3 with an RBI, and Kiely went 2-for-5. Ukiah returns to action Saturday at Sonoma before returning home to host Piner Tuesday. ANG Newspapers San Francisco’s Moises Alou makes a diving catch Thursday during the Giants home opener against the Braves. San Francisco won, 6-4. SAN FRANCISCO — Barry Bonds strolled out of the clubhouse after hardly taking a swing and hardly uttering a word, his personal videographer and teenage son on his trail. Three games into the season, no home runs. Then again, he didn’t have many chances. Bonds drew his first two intentional walks of the season, struck out and grounded weakly to first Thursday in the San Francisco Giants’ home opener, a 6-4 win over the Atlanta Braves. Bonds saw all of eight pitches to hit, and 14 total. He didn’t get the ball out of the infield. “Go get iced up,” he said, making his way through the crowded room to the trainer’s table. He didn’t address close to 50 media members surrounding his corner locker. Pedro Feliz hit a basesclearing double off the wall in left-center in a six-run third and Ray Durham added a two-run single in the inning. “The guys who are hitting behind Barry are going to be a little busy,” the Giants’ Omar Vizquel said. Bonds, who made one catch in left field, stepped into the batter’s box in the bottom of the first inning to roaring cheers and a standing ovation from his hometown fans. Then came the boos — but this time they weren’t directed toward the embattled star.

Dennis was injured in practice Tuesday, apparently trying to cut on the wet artificial turf at USC’s Cromwell Field. Wildcats Continued from Page A-7 “I’ve been in contact with all 18 of the teams that were supposed to come, and 15 have already said they will be able to make it,” Philbrick said. “So things look like they’re going to work out.” Ukiah will also put its per- Vijay Continued from Page A-7 the get-go. If you don’t hit good shots, you’re going to make a number out there.” And there were plenty of those. A dozen players, young and old, couldn’t break 80, and at least eight players had their worst score ever at the Masters, including David Duval (84), Mark O’Meara (81) and Mark Calcavecchia (80). “I didn’t struggle with my game at all,” Singh said. “I hit a lot of good iron shots.” That’s what Johnson wanted when he ordered the latest round of changes to the course. He had six holes lengthened, hopeful that even the modern player with his modern equipment would be hitting similar clubs as Masters champions did in the past. It still was tough, as a major should be. Only three players broke 70, and 15 others were under par. But the scoring average for the first round — 74.94 — was a fraction of a stroke lower than the previous two years. “I don’t think anybody will be unhappy with the way the course played today,” Retief Goosen said after a 70, joined by Phil Mickelson, Tim Clark and Geoff Ogilvy. It wasn’t so tough that it drained the drama. The 12 eagles in the first round were one short of the record set in 1991. If there was a discernible difference, it might have been long periods of silence while so many players battled for par. “One hole, you could hear the birds singing away, like there’s nobody on the course,” An MRI taken Wednesday night revealed the damage. The fifth-year senior tore ligaments in the same knee in December 2004, had surgery the following month, and sat out last season. USC coach Pete Carroll said after practice Thursday that the school would look into applying for a sixth year of eligibility for Dennis. A date wasn’t immediately set for surgery. Dennis started every game as a sophomore in 2003 — ahead of then-freshmen Reggie Bush and LenDale White. Dennis was the only experienced tailback participating in spring practice. Desmond Reed and Michael Coleman, who both played as backups last season, are recovering from operations — Reed on a knee and Coleman on a hip. fect NBL record on the line at the tournament, after a bizarre ending to the Wildcats match against Cardinal Newman on March 30 in Ukiah, when play was suspended with both teams fifth and sixth golfers having two holes to play. The ruling on the match was that each school would take all of the golfers scores, including the 16 holes the five and six golfers played, figured out how over par each was, then threw out the worst score on 18 for each. After doing so, both teams were still tied. Therefore, Cardinal Newman and Ukiah’s five and six golfers will play the last two holes at the tournament April 24 to get things evened out. Ukiah returns to North Bay League play Tuesday, hosting Santa Rosa. Goosen said. “It’s definitely a lot quieter out there than you normally hear around Augusta, besides the one big cheer we heard. And we obviously all knew that was Tiger.” That was about the only cheer for Woods. The defending champion struggled from the start with two three-putts on his first four holes — one to make par, another bogey — and avoiding three others with testy, 5foot putts. His fortunes appeared to change when he hit 8-iron from 163 yards on the 14th hole that landed soft enough to trickle into the cup, his first eagle on a par 4 at the Masters. But his momentum was doomed when he laid up on the par-5 15th short of the water, and found his ball in a deep divot. He tried to smother a sand wedge, instead, caught it fat and watched it drop into the middle of the pond, leading to double bogey. “All in all, I thought I could have got under par today, but it just didn’t happen,” Woods said. But maybe all that sunshine brought a mirage. The greens already had a yellow sheen and were getting crusty. And with wind in the forecast for Friday, there was a feeling that Augusta National was at its tamest. “Although we had some under-par rounds, we also had perfect conditions,” Mickelson said. “The fairways dried out, and we were able to hit the ball out there, get to the greens. I’m concerned about tomorrow’s round with the wind. It’s going to be rough.” Even Crenshaw was ready to concede. On the 20-year anniversary of Jack Nicklaus’ last green jacket, can a 54-year-old win the Masters? That was the cue for Crenshaw to wag his finger and say, “I have a good feeling about this,” as he did while captaining the Ryder Cup team at Brookline in 1999. “Doubtful,” he said, laughing. “I’ve had my time here.” The last time was in 1995, when he was a pallbearer at the funeral of longtime teacher Harvey Penick at the start of the week, and he was wearing a green jacket at the end. The emotions this week might lie with Woods, whose father could not travel to Augusta for the first time because of cancer. Woods said he didn’t speak with his father before the round. “I had enough to worry about,” Woods said, “trying to get out there and hit a shot.” COMPARE OUR CDRATES. % APY * 5.00 Bank-issued, FDIC-insured 1-year, minimum deposit $5,000 * Annual Percentage Yield (APY), effective ____/____/____. 04 07 06 CDs are federally insured up to $100,000 (principal and accrued interest) per issuing institution.

The Eagles won the first game, 8-4 in eight innings as Shylo Rege picked up the pitching win for Mendocino. The Eagles exploded for six runs in the top of the eighth to seal the victory. Catcher Brandi McRae went 4-for-5 for Mendocino with three RBIs and a triple, and Rege was 3-for-5 with two doubles and a run. Also for the Eagles, Jenn Carroll was 3-for-5 with three runs, and Lindsay Ruddick went 2-for-5. Jennifer Reardon was the winning pitcher for The Storm in the second game, which also went eight innings, and ended in bizarre fashion. With a runner on second in the bottom of the eighth, Mendocino shortstop Sadie Poehlmann fielded a grounder in the hole, came up throwing and the Napa Valley runner on second advancing to third was hit in the head with Poehlmann’s throw. The umpires waved the runner around to home and Napa walked away with the victory. “I haven’t seen that too much,” said Mendocino College head coach Kelvin Chapman. “We made a few mistakes in the second game taht we had a hard time overcoming.” Rege was the losing pitcher for the Eagles, as both Ruddick and Vickie Asbury were 2-for-4 with two RBIs each. Mendocino returns to action today at Solano for a doubleheader. Mattern paces Wildcats The Daily Journal SANTA ROSA – The Ukiah boys and girls swimming teams took to the pool on Thursday at Montgomery, with the boys coming out on top with a convincing victory, and the girls falling in the last race. On the boys side, Tucker Mattern stole the show again with an impressive outing in the 100 breast as Ukiah scored 100 points to the Vikings 61. Mattern finished with a time of 1:03.23. “It’s not an automatic time, but it’s a very strong consideration time for NCS,” said Ukiah head coach Lee Panttaja. Travis Cleland won both the 200 free and the 500 free for Ukiah, and Collin Phenicie won the 50 free and 100 free for the Wildcats. Jeremy Pollard won the 100 back for Ukiah. Panttaja singled out Miles Oswald’s performance in the 500 free, where he came in fourth. “By taking fourth Miles improved his time significantly,” Oswald said. “ He really swam a tough race.” Amanda Sims led Montgomery to a 92-88 win over Ukiah on the girls side. Sims won the 100 fly, 200 free, and swam on one of the 400 free relay teams that gave the Vikings their slim margin of victory in the last race. Sims has the fourth-fastest time in the nation in the 100 fly this season “They had to take first and third in the last race to beat us, and they pulled it off,” Panttaja said. “Still, I thought we swam a great meet.” Abby Mulvihill won the 500 free for Ukiah, and Katie Bishop won the 100 free. The Ukiah 200 free relay team of Bishop, Mulvihill, Whitley Sassen, and Elley Cannon also took first. Mulvihill was also the anchor on the 400 free relay. The Wildcats return home Tuesday to host Elsie Allen. Kings hope success translates The Associated Press SACRAMENTO — If the Sacramento Kings hold on to the eighth and final playoff berth in the Western Conference, they could face the defending champion San Antonio Spurs in the opening round. While that might be scary for some teams considering the Spurs own the best record (58-17) in the Western Conference and have lost only five homes games all year, the Kings might feel differently based on how they matched up in the regular season. Giants Continued from Page A-7 calling for an intentional walk, and Bonds casually headed to first and out came the rubber chickens for the first time. It paid off for the Braves when Moises Alou grounded into an inning-ending double play. Then in the third, Bonds came up to chants of “Barry! Barry!” with Durham on first after his single tied the game at 2. With a 2-0 count following two inside pitches by Jorge Sosa (0-1), Braves manager Bobby Cox called for another free pass. This time, Alou singled in the go-ahead run to make it 3-2. “That’s going to be very important,” Alou said. “I didn’t come through the first time. I was hoping to get another opportunity and I got a base hit to start the rally. ... We have to do that a lot this year to take the pressure off Barry.” The 41-year-old Bonds, third on the home run list with 708 and seven from passing Babe Ruth, already has three walks this season. The seventime NL MVP is facing more Sacramento caught the Spurs by surprise Wednesday, building a 16-point lead heading into the fourth quarter and cruising to a 97-87 victory. It was only the seventh home loss in the last 90 games for San Antonio. Despite the victory and two narrow losses to the Spurs earlier in the season, Kings coach Rick Adelman is not plotting strategy for a probable playoff matchup just yet. “I don’t even want to think about that, we need to get there (the playoffs) first,” Adelman said. “Who does match up well with them — Detroit?” In a Nov. 11 game at Arco Arena, the Spurs withstood Mike Bibby’s 14 fourth quarter points, squandering a big lead but hanging on for the 96-93 win. Michael Finley hit a buzzer-beater to save the Spurs in the next meeting. The third and final regular season meeting was all Sacramento. The Kings took the lead for good late in the first quarter and built the margin to double figures by scoring the first 10 points of the second. steroids scrutiny than ever after last month’s release of “Game of Shadows,” a book detailing Bonds’ alleged longtime regimen for using performance-enhancing drugs. But they still love him in San Francisco’s ballpark by the bay. Bonds’ son, Nikolai, and Hall of Famers Orlando Cepeda, Willie McCovey and Willie Mays — Bonds’ godfather — were on hand for the festivities. The slugger’s daughter, Aisha, stood on her seat in the stands several rows up from the field and smiled and clapped when Bonds was introduced. He tipped his cap and waved in all directions. Manager Felipe Alou expected Bonds to be in the lineup again Friday night. McCann and Sosa hit backto-back homers in the third for the Braves, the first career homer for Sosa. Brian Jordan homered in the ninth off Tim Worrell, who earned his second save in as many chances. Giants starter Noah Lowry left in the second inning with a strained muscle in his lower back. The left-hander was scheduled to be re-evaluated Friday. Lowry grabbed his right side after throwing a 1-2 pitch to Jordan. Giants catcher Mike Matheny headed to the mound and then called for head trainer Stan Conte. Lowry, 13-13 with a 3.78 ERA last year, had his first start delayed a day because of rain in San Diego. Rookie Matt Cain was originally set to start the Giants’ home opener. Cain will start Friday night’s game instead. Lowry, who signed a new four-year contract on Sunday, was the only member of the Giants rotation not to miss a start last year. Jeff Fassero (10) replaced Lowry, finished the strikeout to Jordan and pitched 3 2-3 innings for the victory. Randy Winn’s leadoff single for the Giants ended an 0for-9 streak to start the season. Braves pitcher Kenny Ray struck out Bonds to start the seventh after being called up from Triple-A Richmond earlier in the day. Cox wanted Ray to face Bonds because the pitcher had a successful spring against lefty hitters. “You’re talking about a player who’s probably going to hit a few home runs off me,” Ray said. “It’s just one of those things. Of course you’re aware of it. The guy is a Hall of Famer. I’m happy with the way it turned out.” MENDO-LAKE We save $ and time Heisman trophy winner says he hasn’t asked Texans if they’ll take him with top pick By KRISTIE RIEKEN The Associated Press HOUSTON — Reggie Bush hasn’t asked the Houston Texans whether they will use the No. 1 overall pick in the draft to choose him, but he’s 99.9 percent certain he’ll go first. The double-talk was dizzying during the Heisman Trophy-winning running back’s first visit to Houston on Thursday to meet with coaches and players. “I haven’t directly asked them that question,” Bush said. “They haven’t really told me anything directly other than the fact that they’re excited for this upcoming draft and that they’re excited for me to be a Texan.” The mixed signals came even before Bush arrived at a news conference that concluded his visit in Houston. Team officials hesitated before letting him stand in front of the backdrop covered in team logos for the event. Bush, who Texans officials saw work out Sunday at Southern California’s pro day, said Thursday’s discussions were productive and included what his role would be. “Similar to the way I was used at Southern Cal,” he said. “Being established as a running back first and then splitting out wide playing a little receiver and returning punts and kicks. So pretty much the same.” At Sunday’s workout, Bush ran the 40yard dash in 4.33 seconds and had a 40 1/2inch vertical jump, a standing broad jump of 10-8 1/2 and 24 repetitions bench-pressing 225 pounds. The Texans are keeping quiet about the top draft pick. Coach Gary Kubiak didn’t answer questions about Bush during a separate news conference earlier on the 2006 schedule. Bush, who ran for 1,685 yards and 15 touchdowns last season, said he would like to end up in Houston. “There’s the challenge of bringing a championship to Houston,” he said. “Playing for Coach Kubiak and the new coaching staff. It seems like they have nothing but high expectations for this season and the upcoming seasons.” Bush said wherever he goes, he hopes to get contract negotiations handled quickly so he doesn’t miss any time in camp. “I would hope I could start as soon as possible,” he said. “Something I’m looking forward to is being in camp on time. I think that would be a huge factor in me getting in File photo Southern California running back and 2005 Heisman Trophy winner Reggie Bush is a heavy favorite to be the No. 1 pick in this month’s NFL Draft, a pick owned by the Houston Texans. early.” Agent Joel Segal said he hasn’t had any contract conversations with the Texans but also wants to get a deal done early. “It would be great to have a contract done before the draft. That’s the ultimate,” he said. In 2002, the Texans announced they would make quarterback David Carr the No. 1 pick two weeks before the draft and finished negotiations before draft day. No one is expecting that this year, and the Texans haven’t ruled out the possibility of trading out of the top pick. Bush said he isn’t concerned about backlash from Texans fans who want the team to draft former Texas quarterback Vince Young. Young, scheduled to work out for the Texans on Friday, grew up in Houston and led the Longhorns to a 41-38 victory and a national championship over Bush and the Trojans in the Rose Bowl. Texans fans have said they want Young. “I would hope it wouldn’t turn out that way,” Bush said. “I would hope that the city would welcome me with open arms. I know the fans want him to come here. But it’s not the fans’ choice. “It’s the choice of the program and the coaches.” Read All About It!

C OMMUNITY A-10 – FRIDAY, APRIL 7, 2006 Prayer study is questionable Recently I read a Associated Press national article in the Journal regarding that a recent study found that praying for heart surgery patients had no effect. The headline stunned me. No, it actually infuriated me, which is hard to do. How dare anyone in this country tamper with anyone’s belief that praying will help those in medical crisis? At first glance it sounded like more propaganda from the mysterious coalition that is trying to get God off the face of our money, out of the schools, out of everything -with the goal that eventually this nation, which was founded on religious principles will be void of faith of any kind, thereby weakening its unity. Then I sat back, and thought, “Oh, boy, that sounds paranoid!” and decided to read the article again objectively looking for the following answers to: Who completed this survey? How many people participated in it? How was the data collected? How does one show the world that prayer, a very private and intimate conversation with a higher being, is not being heard and answered? The article says that the $2.4 million study was funded by the Templeton Foundation, which, when I researched the Foundation on the internet, is considered quite controversial by leading members of the American Association for the Advancement of Science because 1) Templeton’s mission is to link science and religion, and 2) Templeton’s funding of questionable groups such as the ACLU’s Freedom Project. The study was conducted by two doctors, a cardiologist at Baptist Medical Center, and another at Harvard Medical School. 1800 cardiac patients were tested in six medical centers. One-third knew they were being prayed for, another third thought it was a possibility that they were prayed for, and the last third knew they were not prayed for, but were told it was a possibility. The prayers were given for two weeks beginning the night before surgery. Results of the study showed that patients who are prayed for do not do as well as those that are not prayed for. Fifty nine percent who knew they were being prayed for had complications and 52 percent who were told that there was a possibility did not.

Yoga for a Better Life Community chatter By Kathy Davidson lengthy article is being printed in papers all over the world, and will soon be published in the American Heart Journal. The doctor is quoted as saying, “We cannot come to any conclusion, except to say that .....this is what we found.” Now I ask you, is that weak bit of information worthy of such mass distribution? If so, what is the real purpose, or to use a buzz phrase, “the hidden agenda”? In this article the researcher said that family members and friends should not be discouraged from telling a patient about their plans to pray for a good recovery. Is that a disclaimer? I admit, I am an advocate for prayer. I also believe in visualization, affirmations and relaxation exercises to promote healing, and positive thinking. I trust that good thoughts sent out to the universe, atmosphere, heavens, whatever you want to call it, are not just dismissed out of hand. Team spirit, concentration and focusing on the goal, for example, has proven over and over to inspire people to achieve feats that were unthought of before. Visualization techniques for cancer patients is documented and proven and has cured thousand of patients for many years. No one knows why the brain readily accepts this positive information and changes things. It just does. It is, I suspect, a miracle. Motivation is a strong advocate for success. If you think you can, you can. It all comes from the mind. Prayer is a signal from the mind which has miraculous capabilities. Why is the concept that putting minds together to achieve one specific goal, the healing of a sick person, so hard to believe? Is it because prayer is directed to a higher being? I’ve gone through my share of surgeries in the past seven years. In each one, I have asked the surgeon or a Anyone curious about Writers Read and its regular monthly open mic may get on the group’s email announcement list and a flyer mailing list by contacting the same e-address.

Emergency Services Authority, Ukiah Fire Dept. present CERT program The Community Emergency Response Team program was developed in California in the mid-80’s as a way to train people to better prepare for emergency situations in their communities. Since then, it has become a national model for helping people respond to emergencies. When emergencies happen, CERT members can give critical support to first responders, provide immediate assistance to victims, and organize spontaneous volunteers at a disaster site. CERT members can also help with non-emergency projects that improve the safety of the community. CERT training classes include disaster preparedness, disaster fire suppression, basic disaster medical operations and light search and rescue operations. The target audience for the first course will be individuals throughout the city who are interested in putting together teams within their neighborhoods. These free courses will be offered during the month of April at the City of Ukiah Fire Department, 300 Seminary Ave. in Ukiah.

In addition, I have asked my church to give me a blessing. I ask friends to pray for me. I ask my mother, who is Catholic, to light a candle for me. As a result, I go into surgery feeling little fear, but I do feel the support of all of those prayers and people and kind thoughts before, during and after my surgery. I know it impacts my conscious and subconscious mind and that I heal better for it. I feel that my surgeon’s hand are guided by a higher force due to those prayers. How can I not believe that so many good thoughts sent my way, specifically for me, will help me heal? Good thoughts achieve good results. In this day and age, you cannot believe everything you read in the news, hear on the radio or see on the television. You have to check out the agenda of the bearer of the information, and who supports them. Above all, you need to believe that knowledge is power. The more you know, the more you investigate, the more power you have to make the decisions that affect you and yours and are for the good of all. Remember, Out of the Mud Grows the Lotus. THE UKIAH DAILY JOURNAL ™ REALTY WORLD Selzer Realty Home of the million dollar spin THE UKIAH DAILY JOURNAL Council Continued from Page A-1 stated that the project could demonstrate how liability, fire safety, maintenance and other issues could be addressed. The public has previously expressed concern over the proposed trail due to its proximity to the golf course and Maple Avenue, but city staff said the trail included sufficient mitigations. In terms of the larger issue of the Western Hills zoning regulations, the council directed staff to schedule another joint meeting with the Planning Commission. Several Planning Commissioners had previously requested another joint meeting on the issue, since the City Council lacked a quorum at the previous one. Councilmember Phil Baldwin expressed a concern that an additional joint meeting might delay the process, but the majority of council members expressed the belief that the joint meeting might streamline the process by allowing direct communication between the council and commission. A tentative date was set for the regularly scheduled Planning Commission meeting of April 26. In news that should help ensure a quorum, Mayor Mark Ashiku said he received a verbal report from the Fair Political Practices Commission that he did not have a conflict of interest. An opinion in writing is expected within about two weeks. On more technical matters, the City Council discussed various water issues, including Mendocino’s Peregrine Audubon Society and Trout Unlimited Petition, which was originally filed against the Rescue Continued from Page A-1 near the Russian River. Moyer had a flight mechanic lower him into the water where, while fighting against the current, he rigged a rescue harness and cut the woman free of her seat belt. The woman and Moyer were later lifted to safety. She was treated for hypothermia and cuts and bruises. “Petty Officer Moyer’s dedication, judgment and devotion to duty are most heartily commended and are in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Coast Guard,” said Lt. William Blair. Moyer could not be reached for comment because The Journal Delivers! To Subscribe call: 468-3533 LOCAL State Water Resources Control Board and other agencies. There is general agreement that the agencies are currently doing a poor job of fulfilling their mandated responsibilities, officials said, with the agencies failing to act on applications for water diversion concerning agricultural and municipal water users. The agencies were also cited for failing to investigate and prevent unauthorized water diversions, with negative consequences for fish and wildlife values, and also for authorized water users. Under the current system, which officials said seems to encourage unauthorized diversions, it’s difficult to determine what water is available and if there is enough to satisfy authorized water diverters. Councilmembers will wait for stakeholders to meet in an effort to agree to a workable system before considering action. The council also discussed a draft proposal by the Mendocino County Water Agency to conduct a groundwater study in the greater Ukiah Valley. The council agreed to cooperate by making available relevant information from the well-siting study recently authorized by the City Council. The much-anticipated discussion on campaign finance reform, which flamed out initially due to differing opinions on the research needed for the conversation, was continued again so that the subcommittee of Baldwin and Councilmember Mari Rodin could provide additional information. Data requested included examples of other local ordinances that have been adopted in California and a comprehensive review of related case law.

FRIDAY, APRIL 7, 2006 – A-11 Isaac Eckel/The Daily Journal (Above) Tracey (left),Trevor (center) and Jason Thurston received a “Sponsor of the Year” award from the Ukiah Main Street Program for the support of the Thurston Auto Plaza. (Above right) Kevin Slater and Eagle Distributing received a “Sponsor of the Year” award for their support of the Ukiah Main Street Program. Awards been very fortunate to have many loyal businesses that have financially supported us throughout the years -- no questions asked they generously contribute financially to our program because they believe in our goals and our purpose,” Beeler explained. The award to Thurston Auto Plaza is the third in three years. “The Thurston family has supported our program wholeheartedly and has made our Comedy Alley season a great success,” Beeler said. “In addition, another irreplaceable sponsor that our program is so very grateful to have is Eagle Distributing, No matter what the event may be, how many attendees are pre- sent or how big an order we may have, Kevin Slater and the whole crew down at Eagle Distributing are always supporting the Main Street Program,” Beeler said. Ukiah Main Street also recognizes a Downtown Business of the Year, which went this year to Ragamuffin, the children’s clothing store that just reopened on South State Street from its longtime location on South School Street. To receive this award, a business must be recognized for outstanding contributions to the overall success of the downtown business district, they must provide quality products and a high level of service, and they will have earned a reputation as a business with integrity and success. “Ragamuffin definitely has all of the above,” Beeler said. Talamo Wet River system, levees were not stressed by the big storms that socked the state to the north in late December and early January. The Friant Dam, on the San Joaquin River near Fresno, briefly released 9,000 cubic feet of water per second downstream Tuesday night, 12 percent more than the maximum 8,000 cfs flood operators believe the river can safely handle. But they needed to make room for the next batch of storms, Morin said. Added Bardini: “We haven’t had flows (in the San Joaquin River) at this level since 1998. This system hasn’t been tested like the Sacramento (River) system.” Elsewhere, Calaveras County officials asked for state and federal help Wednesday to assess erosion around the left buttress of a small dam above a golf course. Officials concluded the dam would hold and that small ponds farther downstream could handle any substantial release. Weather forecasters expect this weekend’s storm to be neither as wet nor as warm as storms earlier this week. “We’re anticipating much less of an impact from the coming storm,” said Elizabeth Morse, chief meteorologist for the National Weather Service’s Sacramento office. “It’s more a matter of people being just soooo tired of the gray skies and the water.” Continued from Page A-1 Continued from Page A-1 Continued from Page A-1 results of the autopsy and the toxicology reports before making a final determination on the cause of death. Smallcomb said he did not believe Talamo’s death was a suicide. The case remains under investigation. This is the second tragedy to strike the Talamo family in recent years. In 2003, 13year-old David Talamo drowned during a school swim class at the city pool. The Talamo family settled its lawsuit with the Ukiah Unified School District’s insurers for $3.4 million in December of last year. state). We’re just below that.” This much rain this late in the spring is also unusual, Bardini said. The Consumnes River, the only undammed river on the Sierra’s western slope, crested at 13.4 feet Tuesday evening, the first time since 1958 the river has reached flood stage in April. That “gives you an idea of the magnitude and quirkiness of this event,” said Andy Morin, river forecaster with the California Nevada River Forecast Center. The biggest concern is the San Joaquin River basin -where, unlike the Sacramento Ben Brown can be reached at [email protected].

Politicians join forces in attempt to push through compromise immigration bill WASHINGTON (AP) — Putting aside party differences, Senate Republicans and Democrats coalesced Thursday around compromise legislation that holds out the hope of citizenship to an estimated 11 million immigrants living in the United States unlawfully. “We can no longer afford to delay reform,” said Sens. John McCain and Edward M. Kennedy in a statement that capped weeks of struggle to find common ground. President Bush said he was pleased with the developments and urged the Senate to pass legislation by week’s end. But the emerging compromise drew fire from both ends of the political spectrum. Conservative Sen. John Cornyn, RTexas, likened it to an amnesty bill that cleared Congress in 1986, while AFL-CIO President John Sweeney said it threatened to “drive millions of hardworking immigrants further into the shadows of American society, leaving them vulnerable to exploitation.” Top Shiite religious figure may be best hope for political deal in Iraq BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) — Iraq’s embattled prime minister vowed Thursday to pursue his bid for a second term despite pressure from home and abroad to step down, signaling no early end to the standoff blocking a crucial national unity government. Shiite politicians suggested they may turn to Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, the sole figure with the authority to make a decision that risks shattering Shiite unity. In a brutal reminder of the stakes if Iraqi leaders cannot reverse the slide toward chaos, a car bomb exploded Thursday in the country’s most sacred Shiite city, Najaf, killing 10 people and wounding more than 30. • Willits • 459-NOYO (6696) Visit us at our website www.cinemawest.com INDEPENDENT FILM SERIES 7:00PM WED & THUS ONLY The Libertine R Ice Age: The Meltdown 6:40, 8:45 PG She’s a Man WASHINGTON (AP) — With a grand jury investigating and little support from House colleagues, Rep.

The Shiite bloc controls 130 of the 275 parliament seats, enough for first crack at the prime minister’s job but not enough to govern without Sunni and Kurdish partners. But the Sunnis and Kurds demand that al-Jaafari be replaced, blaming him for the sharp rise in sectarian tensions that threatens to plunge the country into civil war.

FRIDAY, APRIL 7, 2006 – C-1 ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Editor: Richard Rosier, 468-3520 [email protected] The Ukiah Daily Journal Review: ‘Fiddler’ is entertainment at its finest By CAROLE HESTER Special for the Journal It charms you, it wins you, you laugh, you cry. You’re immediately drawn in to this wonderful musical with that great opening song, “Tradition.” There are so many things, ranging from the beautiful direction to the magnificent performances to the impressive design, that stand out in watching “Fiddler on the Roof.” This is an award-winning musical with a stellar cast, orchestra and technical team, a collaborative production by Mendocino College Theatre Arts Department, with Ukiah Civic Light Opera. The show plays through April 9 at the Mendocino College Center Theatre. This production is a tribute to the high caliber of talent in Mendocino County. The show featured amazing performances from the entire cast and was so simply emotionally touching and charming. The audience was mesmerized. The show struck a quiet chord that continued with the reviewer well after the final bows. The story takes place in 1905 in the small Russian village of Anatevka. Tevye (Topol), a poor Jewish dairyman, Golde his wife, and their daughters -- who want their own will and way to marry for love, rather than as arranged by the matchmaker. “Fiddler” tells the life-affirming story of Tevye, a poor milkman whose love, pride and faith help him face the oppression of turn-of-the century czarist Russia (based on stories of Sholem Aleichem). “Fiddler on the Roof” is a universal story of hope, love and acceptance. This musical is a stunning, joyful and jubilant musical masterpiece and not to be missed. In addition to those on stage, another of the show’s major assets is its atmosphere and the consistency it has achieved in tone and feel. All the elements work in unity, and, for this, director Reid Edelman deserves enormous credit. The entire performance was a perfect tapestry, woven with strong and vibrant voices under the direction of vocal teacher Marilyn Simpson. The orchestra was the perfect partner for the songs and dances, expertly directed by Les Pfutzenreuter. Susan Era and Leslie Saxon West used choreography not just for the sake of movement, but also to expertly express characterization. Their great imagination was carried out by the dancers with expert precision. Superb staging and canny casting kept the audience drawn into the story. The technical backup -- an integral part of any show, that can “make or break” the success of a show, was top notch, and under the direction of Larry L. Lang. The marvelous sets and actors literally flow through the proceedings with grace and style. John Beatty, of Sol Dial Sound, once again performed his masterly wizardry with keeping everyone’s voices heard. Costumes were designed by Kathy Dingman-Katz and property design and set dressing by Sasha Oaks. The cast was uniformly outstanding in performing the musical’s artfulness and beauty so capably. Every scene was so strong and masterly performed that audience members were captivated and frankly, wondering which scene would be a favorite. Those great songs, beloved by so many, “If I Were A Rich Man,” (a personal favorite of this reviewer watching Tevye, played by the inimitable Rick Allan); “Matchmaker;” “Sabbath Prayer” -- very worshipful and tender. The “To Life” toasting song was robust, hearty and fun, featuring the male ensemble and Russians, dancing and singing their way through an evening of drinking. The heart-touching melody of “Sunrise, Sunset” had the audience humming along. The poignant question song, “Do You Love Me?” by Tevye and Golde (Allan and Susan Byers) was poignant and tenderly presented. “Anatevka,” a haunting song at the end of the play captures the essence of the Jewish people as they are forced from their homes to once again roam the earth and find new dwellings. What would “Fiddler on the Roof” be without a fiddler? Ivory Reid presented a strong thread throughout the show and her dancing was stellar as she “fiddled” her way through the scenes. The main role of Tevye, a man who regularly holds conversations with God about his plight in life, is pivotal to this show and a perfect venue to showcase Allan’s talent. Every gesture, every nuance every note and every interpretation of musical phrase was a perfect delivery of the very clever and often funny lyrics. He was charming and lovable and funny, helped you to see “on the one hand,” and then “on the other hand” as he worked through life’s dilemmas. Byers’ (Golde) classical musical training helped her present a very strong vocal performance. She was wonderfully sardonic but equally as talented in her comedic moments with Tevye. The couple’s eldest daughters were a delight and carried their roles beautifully: Tzeitel (KC Dill), Hodel (Kaleena Quarles) and Chava (Susan Haynes). Other daughters were Shprintze (Herron Spence), Tevye’s fourth daughter, and Bielke (Melany Katz), his fifth daughter. Yente, the matchmaker, is the funny counterpart to the serious portions of the show and Bella Feldman was a perfect match to the role. Ian Parmenter was a very strong supporting role as Motel, the tailor. His voice was lovely and clear as he provided great music. Carlin Fuerst played Perchik, a student. The Rev. Larry Ballenger was a huge delight as Lazar Find Real Estate bargains in REAL ESTATE ON THE MARKET Wolf, the butcher, singing and hoofing his way through the show. Geoff Graham as Mordcha, the innkeeper, was a very strong supporting character and turned in a fine performance. Avram, the bookseller, was played by Alan Sunbeam; 1 Year No Payments 0% Financing* OR We’ll Pay the Sales Tax* (See store for details) Paul Gilbert was the Rabbi and Mendel, his son, played by Caleb Meek-Bradley. Nacha, the beggar, was played by Phyllis Binder Lockhart, Grandma Tzeitel was Alicia Littletree Bales. Other supporting roles were played by Jennifer Schmitt, Arlo Raitt, Joel Shura, Beth Meyerson Robey. The fathers were Bill McMorris, Robert Lambertz and Jim Plumb. The mothers were Joanne Brennan, Janet Noe, Barbara Nobles, Mary McClanahan-Calvert, Lauren Felt and Alicia Littletree Bales. The sons were Danny Katz, Sam Fulk and Elk McCarthy. The daughters were Melissa Dunham, Chelsea Moore, Sara Lytle, Sandi Long and Camille Boults. The children were played by Joshua Murphy, Julian McClanahan-Calvert, Madrone Matishok and Lauren Vau. The Russians were played by Libby Gordon, Robbie Christiani, Abby Rowland, Jennifer Schmitt and Katie Hardy. What a pleasure it was to walk out of a musical feeling so transported, involved, moved, and exhilarated. Tickets are available at Mendocino Book Co. and the college bookstore.

TODAY’S HISTORY: In 1712, a slave revolt broke out in New York City. In 1862, Union forces under Ulysses S. Grant defeated the Confederates at the battle of Shiloh.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAYS: William ASTROGRAPH By Bernice Bede Osol Saturday, April 8, 2006 Your prospects for advancing your personal interests look extremely encouraging in the year ahead. And your wants and needs should be gratified. However, there are warnings regarding wasting too much time on frivolous activities. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- In matters where you have to deal with others on a social basis, things will have better chances of working out for all involved. Congeniality and friendship smooth the road. Know where to look for romance, and you’ll find it. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Right now your financial picture looks better than usual, and there should be days where you’ll have The Ukiah opportunities to cash in. Now is one of your better chances to act on risks. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- If you apply your innate talents and skills, you should be able to accomplish most anything to which you set your mind -- especially if you’re trying to advance a personal goal or interest. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Although you may not have as much direct control as you’d like over things, the trends are flowing in your favor and should sweep you along with them.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- When it comes to career situations, you will be far more effective if you can keep your objectives and intentions to yourself.

Between his work obligations and his horrible daily commute, I expect him to be gone 60 hours per week. However, week after week, he is away from home 80 to 90 hours. He doesn’t receive overtime when he works more hours, so he “volunteers” an average of 20 hours every week. Jim has high ambitions for an early promotion so that we can someday afford to live closer to his job. On the one hand, I am grateful for his hard work, as it allows me to stay home with our infant son. On the other hand, I find myself chronically sad that my husband always chooses to be away from home when we need and want him around. Jim tells me that he has to work all those extra hours, but I used to work for the same employers, and I know full well that they would not require an employee to work so much additional time. Of course, nor will they argue with someone who chooses to do so of ANNIE’S MAILBOX By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar his own accord. I have asked Jim if his regular 20-hour volunteering could be a way to avoid his family, but he insists it isn’t. He says he’s simply trying to improve our lives. I am certain the only people who notice just how much Jim works are our son and I. His supervisors leave the office long before Jim walks out, and they rarely go in on weekends, as Jim does. Please tell me how to tolerate my husband’s absence. Talking doesn’t help, and he’s too busy for counseling. -- Missing Him in California Dear Missing Him: Has Jim heard the well-known axiom that no man on his FRIDAY EVENING 4/7/06 6:00 6:30 7:00 7:30 8:00 8:30 9:00 9:30 10:00 10:30 11:00 deathbed ever wished he’d spent more time at the office? We assume you have no reason to think Jim is cheating, and that he’s just a workaholic. So, fill your time. Look for momtot activities through your pediatrician’s office, community centers, church, neighbors and friends. Hire a baby sitter, and meet your girlfriends for lunch. Insist that Jim set aside as much time as he can for the family, but face it, some people are just too busy making a living to make a life. Dear Annie: Last year, you did a great job bringing up awareness of Lyme disease, and I hope you will mention it again as we enter warmer weather. Lyme disease is carried by deer ticks that can infect humans. In the early stages, it can be treated and cured. If it isn’t treated properly, it will spread to the joints, nervous system and organs. Symptoms can include a red rash (especially near the tick bite), flu-like symptoms or joint pains. Unfortunately, a lot of people don’t even realize they’ve been bitten by a tick. And did you know that fewer than 50 percent of all chronic Lyme patients have the distinctive bull’s-eye rash, the symptom most doctors expect to see? Lyme disease can be treated easily with antibiotics, but if it is not properly diagnosed, it can affect you the rest of your life. -- D.D. Dear D.D.: Thank you for alerting our readers to the dangers of Lyme disease. Those enjoying the outdoors should avoid areas where ticks live. Wear light-colored, long-sleeved shirts, long pants, high socks (with pants tucked into the socks) and closed shoes or boots. Apply DEET to clothing. For more information, contact the American Lyme Disease Foundation Inc. (www.aldf.com), 293 Route 100, Somers, N.Y. 10589. Dear Annie: This is a response to “Single, Lonely Guy in Jerzee.” You suggested one way to meet people is to volunteer for political candidates. Annie, this was the source of all the turmoil in the movie “Taxi Driver.” It’s bound to end in a bloody massacre. -- Agitated Cave Dweller in Indiana Dear Agitated: Hardee har har. Go back to your cave. The bats miss you. BROADCAST CHANNELS C E F G G I J U e i m s News Friends $ MLB Baseball Atlanta Braves at San Francisco Giants.
