Game creators Andrew Leach, left, and Tim Pelzel display some of their favorite Science Fusion characters.
Local gamers’ creation selected
as ‘best new table top game’
By BEN BROWN
The Daily Journal
Creating an educational card game
can be challenging, but for Andrew
Leach and Tim Pelzel it was
elementary.
Leach and Pelzel are the creators
of Science Fusion, a collectible card
game based on the periodic table of
elements that was recently voted
“best new table top game” at
KublaCon in Burlingame.
“It was quite an honor,” Pelzel
said.
The award is voted on by
convention attendees, most of them
gamers who are not generally excited
about educational games, Pelzel said.
“We beat 30 other game
companies,” Leach said.
Production of the game took five
years. Pelzel said they wanted the
game to be stable -- meaning its
rules won’t need to be altered by
players -- and use static numerical
values.
Pelzel and Leach wanted to create
‘We beat 30 other
game companies.’
ANDREW LEACH
a stable card game, but they were
also hoping to find a way to harness
the teaching power of card games.
Pelzel had noticed that his son, a
fanatic player of the card game
Pokemon, had been able to
memorize the vital statistics and
abilities of countless Pokemon cards.
He and Leach decided to try to make
something similar using real
information, so children could have
fun, but would also learn useful
information.
“The periodic table of elements
was the perfect vehicle,” Pelzel said.
“It has all these properties. It was
perfect for little micro-superheros.”
In the game, players battle one
another using element characters
such as Hydrogena (hydrogen) and
Ironbot (iron). Each element
character has abilities that
correspond to the element, and
various real properties, such as the
element’s atomic number, are used as
the characters’ physical statistics.
“All their abilities are based on
real properties,” Pelzel said. “It’s not
magic; it’s just physics.”
With a recent nationwide push for
a greater emphasis on science and
chemistry education, Pelzel and
Leach are hoping to see their game
played in schools across the country.
The game is published by Edge
Games LLC and available at
Gateway Gifts in Willits, Out of This
World in Mendocino and online at
www.science-fusion.com where it
retails for $29.
Also available are free lesson
plans for teachers and sample games
that can be played electronically.

The state Senate has voted
21-16 to approve SB 634, a
bill by Sen. Patricia Wiggins
(D-Santa Rosa) to strengthen
the Williamson Act.
Specifically, the measure,
which now heads to the
Assembly, would prohibit
cities and counties from
approving proposed subdivisions of Williamson Act-contracted lands unless they make
certain findings.
Senate Bill 634 would also
require cities and counties to
impose conditions on the residential uses of subdivided
Williamson Act lands in order
to protect the continued agriculture and open space uses of
those lands.
The Williamson Act conserves agricultural and open
space lands through voluntary
contracts, reduced assessments and state subventions.
Private property owners
sign contracts with counties
and cities, agreeing to restrict
their land to agriculture, open
space and compatible uses for
the next 10 years. Williamson
Act contracts automatically
renew each year so that the
term is always 10 years in the
future.
By state law, county assessors are required to lower the
value of the restricted properties to reflect the value of their
use as agriculture or open
space, instead of their market
value under Proposition 13.
The state General Fund
pays counties and cities about
$40 million a year to make up
for the property tax revenues
lost because of these lowered
assessed valuations. Also, the
General Fund automatically
backfills school districts for
their lost property taxes.
However,
Gov.
Arnold
Schwarzenegger has proposed
elimination of the $40 million
in funding from the next state
budget.
Wiggins, who opposes the
governor’s proposed cuts,
introduced SB 634 due in part
to recent events in Humboldt
County, where the owner of a
large ranch sold Williamson
Act-contracted land where the
parcels were not created under
the Subdivision Map Act, but
were instead identified by federal patent deeds. When coun-
Flu shot
bill clears
Assembly
The Daily Journal
The Assembly on
Tuesday approved a bill by
Assemblywoman Patty
Berg, D-Eureka, that
would require hospitals to
offer senior citizens a flu
shot before discharging
them.
“Inoculating seniors
saves lives. It’s really that
simple,” Berg said. “With
just a simple injection, we
can keep our older neighbors healthy during flu
season and prevent them
from contracting pneumonia.”
AB 106 requires hospitals to offer both flu and
pneumonia vaccines to
elder patients before discharge.
Under existing law,
hospitals don’t have to
offer vaccines, but skilled
nursing facilities do.
“This is a commonsense measure,” Berg,
who chairs the Assembly
Committee on Aging and
Long-Term Care and also
serves on the Assembly
Committee on Health,
said. “We should offer a
flu shot at every opportunity.”
The bill incorporates
recommendations by the
Federal
Centers
for
Disease Control and the
Advisory Committee on
Immunization Practices.
Senior citizens are at a
greater risk for complications from pneumonia,
which is a leading cause of
illness and death among
the elderly. In 2005, the
Centers of Medicare and
Medicaid Services administrator reported that about
36,000 deaths occur from
flu and pneumonia in the
United States each year.
Of those deaths, more than
90 percent occur in people
65 years of age and older.
AB 106 will now go to
the Senate.

Willits mayor issues water conservation challenge
The Willits News
Citing “increasing vulnerability to
water shortages,” Willits Mayor
Tami Jorgensen is inviting residents
of the greater Willits area to join the
Mayor’s
Water
Conservation
Challenge for 95490.
Jorgensen says she is asking families, groups and organizations, and
businesses to focus their “creativity
and enthusiasm over [the] coming
months in a collective effort to help
Students invited to inspire community ‘to get started’
conserve water.” And she’s inviting
area school students “to inspire all of
us to get started.”
Water, she notes, “is vital to the
life of our community, our beautiful
environment and our children’s
future. There are many continuing
discussions in our city, across the
county and across the state contem-

plating both the causes and possible
solutions to this important issue.”
Willits Economic LocaLization is
working with Jorgensen to coordinate and publicize the challenge,
according to WELL’s Brian Weller.
“We want...school students to sit
in small groups to come up with
ideas to conserve water both at
school and at home with their families,” Weller explains, adding he
hopes to “start the process at school
before the summer recess,” then
have students work with their families at home.
“Remember to have fun in the
brainstorming sessions both at
school and at home,” he adds.
The ideas can be e-mailed to
[email protected] or mailed to P.O. Box 42,
Willits, CA 95490. They also can be
brought to the WELL office at 121
W. Commercial St.
“As part of the challenge,” he
says, “we are hoping students will
create artwork around the theme of
water conservation.

3 teams of scientists mimic embryonic
stem cells using skin cells in mice
NEW YORK (AP) — In a leap forward for stem cell
research, three independent teams of scientists reported
Wednesday that they have produced the equivalent of embryonic stem cells in mice without the controversial destruction of
embryos.
They got ordinary skin cells to behave like stem cells. If the
same could be done with human cells — a big if — the procedure could lead to breakthrough medical treatments without the
contentious ethical and political debates surrounding the use of
embryos.
Experts were impressed by the achievement.
“I think it’s one of the most exciting things that has come out
about embryonic stem cells, period,” said researcher Dr. Asa
Abeliovich of Columbia University in New York, who didn’t
participate in the work. “It’s very convincing that it’s real.”
But he and others cautioned that it will take further study to
see whether this scientific advance can be harnessed for creating new human therapies. For one thing, the procedure used in
the mouse studies wouldn’t be suitable. And it’s simply not
known whether the mouse results can be reproduced with
human cells.
Bush’s war-adviser nominee says he
was skeptical of troop buildup in Iraq
WASHINGTON (AP) — Lt. Gen. Douglas Lute, picked by
President Bush as his White House war adviser, said
Wednesday he had been skeptical of Bush’s decision to send
thousands more U.S. troops into Iraq.
In a written response to questions by the Senate Armed
Services Committee, Lute confirmed news reports that he had
voiced doubts during a White House-led policy review that led
to Bush’s Jan. 10 announcement that 21,500 more combat
troops would go to Baghdad and Anbar province.
The buildup was hotly contested in Congress, including
among several Republicans who favored greater pressure on
Iraqi security forces to take over combat.
“During the review, I registered concerns that a military
‘surge’ would likely have only temporary and localized effects
unless it were accompanied by counterpart ‘surges’ by the Iraqi
government and the other, nonmilitary agencies of the U.S.
government,” Lute wrote in a document obtained by The
Associated Press.
“I also noted that our enemies in Iraq have, in effect, ‘a vote’
and should be expected to take specific steps to counter from
our efforts,” he added. “The new policy took such concerns into
account. It is too soon to tell the outcome.”
Bush says Russia won’t attack Europe
despite rhetoric between US-Kremlin
HEILIGENDAMM, Germany (AP) — After a torrent of
sharp exchanges, President Bush tried to stop a steep slide in
relations with Vladimir Putin on Wednesday by saying Russia
is not a menace to Europe despite a threat to aim missiles at the
West.
“Russia is not going to attack Europe,” the president said,
brushing off Putin’s warning that he would reposition Russian
rockets in retaliation for an American-devised missile shield to
be based in Poland and the Czech Republic.
“Russia is not an enemy,” Bush emphasized. “There needs to
be no military response because we’re not at war with Russia.”
A day before meeting privately with Putin here, Bush
appeared eager to call a time-out in the bickering over everything from criticism about Russia’s backslide on democracy to
Putin’s complaints about U.S.-backed independence for
Kosovo and a supposed new arms race triggered by
Washington.
“There will be disagreements,” the president said, relaxing in
the sun during an interview with a handful of reporters before

Free rides offered on new
Willits flex transit service
The Willits News
Starting June 18, the
Mendocino Transit Authority
will implement a new style of
transit service for Willits: the
Willits Rider.
“The service works like a
bus and also like Dial-ARide,” MTA Marketing and
Planning Manager Glenna
Blake explains. “Passengers
can either catch the bus at
seven of the conveniently
located bus stops throughout
the community, or can make a
reservation for the bus to pick
you up and take you to any
location within the designated
service area (a flex stop).”
The Willits Rider’s service
area, called the Flex Zone, is
limited to the former Central
Dial-A-Ride fare zone. It
encompasses the city limits,
plus a small extension southwest to Black Bart Casino and
a bit in the northeast.
MTA will offer free rides
on the Willits Rider for passengers traveling between
scheduled stops from June 18
through June 30. Passengers
requesting flex stops will pay
the regular fare of $2 to travel
between a scheduled stop and
a Flex Stop ($1 for seniors or
persons with disabilities), or
$3 ($1.50 for seniors or persons with disabilities) to travel between a flex stop and a
flex stop.
After the two-week promotional period, riders will pay
$1 (50 cents for seniors or
persons with disabilities) to
ride between scheduled stops,
Blake says.
Scheduled stops are located
at the Willits Integrated
Service Center, Bud Snider
Park, southbound in front of
the mall, northbound by the
post office, Safeway, Little
Lake Health Center, Oak Glen
Apartments and the Evergreen
Shopping Center.
The Willits Rider also will
serve Brown’s Corner on
weekdays to make connections to and from MTA’s
Willits/Ukiah buses and the
CC Rider on Saturdays for
service to and from Ukiah and
Santa Rosa, or Mendocino/
Fort Bragg.
“The Willits Rider is the
final product of a six-month
design project funded by a
Federal Transit Admini-stration Planning grant,” Blake
says. “The goal of the project
was to gather extensive community input to develop a plan
for a community transit service that would be less expensive than Dial-A-Ride and
still take riders where they
need to go.”
For more information
about the new service or
where you can pick up a
Willits Rider schedule, call
MTA at 1-800-696-4MTA.
You also can download the
Willits Rider schedule from
MTA’s

SUNDAYS IN THE PARK 2007
Queen Ida brings the sounds of zydeco
Special for the Journal
This Sunday at Todd Grove
Park at 6 p.m., Fowler Auto &
Truck Center, The City of
Ukiah and KWNE-FM are
proud to present the first concert of the 2007 Sundays in
the Park concert series featuring the Zydeco Queen herself,
Queen Ida.
Everywhere Queen Ida has
taken her music, from
Carnegie Hall to Tokyo, from
Dakar to Lake Woebegone or
from “Saturday Night Live” to
“Austin City Limits,” people
respond. They clap, they sing,
they get moving and dancing,
and they come back for more.
Queen Ida’s audience is
always diverse -- young and
old, Prairie Home Companion
types, intellectual rock fans,
members of the Cajun/Creole
community, womens’ music
fans and folk music enthusiasts. They come for Zydeco
music and wind up spellbound
by Ida’s exuberance.
Queen Ida was born in
Lake Charles, La. where
French patois was the dominant language. She grew up
hearing the French lullabies,
Mardi Gras songs, and the
waltzes and two steps at the
Saturday night Fai do dos.
Ida’s family were hard-working rice farmers. As a child,
Ida helped cook for 30 or 40
people, and later she often
drove a tractor during the
planting season. In the
evening there was always
someone with an accordion or
a fiddle accompanied by a rub
board, harmonica or triangle
player. Homemade music was
a major form of recreation and
Straight from the heart of Louisiana, Queen Ida will be
playing the first Sunday’s in the Park this Sunday.
on the weekends there were
usually several Zydeco dances
to chose from.
Raising her three children
and driving a school bus was a
full-time career for Ida until
the mid-1970s. Then as her
children grew up, she pulled
her accordion out of the closet
and began to sit in with her
brother Al Rapone’s band at a
few of the French dances in
San Francisco’s Creole community. At one such event,
where Ida was the Queen of
the Mardi Gras, a reporter for
the San Francisco Chronicle
dubbed her “Queen Ida.” The
name stuck, and Ida’s career
was launched.
Her initial touring success
was in Europe, but when she
won a Grammy Award in 1983
for her “On Tour” album, she
soon began to spend about
200 nights a year on the road
in the US and Canada. With
the addition of her older son,
Myrick “Freeze” Guillory, to
the group, Ida not only can
wail on some blazing motherson dueling accordion pieces,
but she can occasionally put
down the squeeze box altogether and show off on the rub
board. Myrick’s strong vocals,
song writing ability and great
accordion work are prominently featured on Ida’s current album.
Queen Ida’s audience is
growing by leaps and bounds.
Every year brings new opportunities for her in film, television and on the concert stage.
Most remarkable of all however, is that despite her main
stream acceptance, Ida is still
sought after in the Creole
community. This was dramatically demonstrated in January
of 1989 when the band sold
out a French dance at Verbum
Dei School near Watts one
night and played to a capacity
crowd in Royce Hall at UCLA
the next. Queen Ida has
remained true to her roots
while creating a high energy
show with immense popular
appeal.
Local author Crosetti to dicuss her new book
The Daily Journal
On Thursday, June 21 at 6:30 p.m.,
local author Claudia Crosetti will appear
at the Mendocino Book Company to discuss her new book, “Rocks in My
Pockets -- Travels with Dad.”
The public is invited to join Crosetti
and her father, Victor, as they navigate
Italy by foot and rail. From the affluent
city of Milan, to the economicallydepressed streets of Naples, Crosetti
leads the reader into the pulsating heart
throb of Italy’s historic downtowns and
enjoys a culture unblemished by big-box
architecture and “jacked-up monster
pick up trucks.”
As the duo ventures deeper into the
Italian landscape, self-reflection seeps
into Crosetti’s consciousness: a second
story emerges as she revisits a lifethreatening disease and a mountain
climbing expedition in the Andes that
plunge Crosetti into her own personal
vision quest.
Claudia Crosetti
Crosetti lives in Ukiah and works as
an administrative assistant at Mendocino
College. In June 1991, at age 38, she
was diagnosed with breast cancer and
underwent surgery and chemotherapy.
Following her diagnosis, Crosetti
played a leading role in her community
in promoting breast cancer awareness. In
1995 she participated in a climbing
expedition of 23,000-foot Mt.
Aconcagua in Argentina with a nationwide team of breast cancer survivors.
Their efforts culminated in a one-hour
PBS “New Explorers” documentary, a
trip to the White House to be received
by then-first-lady, Hillary Clinton, and
the raising of $2.3 million dollars collectively that was distributed to education,
advocacy programs and research for
breast cancer.
Crosetti holds a B.A. degree in
humanities with an emphasis in cultural
ecology. Her travel writing has appeared
in “Canoe & Kayak” and “Shape” magazines.
For more information about this free
event, call 468-5940. The Mendocino
Book Company is located at 102 S.
School St. in Ukiah.

FORUM
Supervisors
In
our
opinion
should get fullAlready the next raise in the works
time pay for
full-time work
Another voice
BY MIKE SWEENEY
What’s really behind the big increase in
county supervisors‚ pay is the reclassification of the position from part-time to fulltime.
Until recent decades, county supervisor
was a part-time job with only a token salary.
Then the complexity of county government
exploded in response to population growth,
new state laws, and social changes.
Supervisors started working full-time to
cope with a weekly deluge of reports, public
input, meetings and critical decisions.
Finally in 1999, the Mendocino Board of
Supervisors formally acknowledged that the
position demanded full-time work. But there
was never a realistic evaluation of what such
a full-time job should pay, and only minor
salary adjustments were made, with the last
change coming in 2004 to bring the salary to
its current $48,000. Since then, inflation has
reduced the purchasing power of the salary
by 8 percent.
The supervisors’ salary has been so low
that it has failed to get taxpayers what we’re
paying for with those paychecks. It failed to
induce many supervisors in recent decades
to devote themselves fully to the duties of
office, because they felt compelled to continue to work at other jobs as well (usually
managing a private business).
The low salaries also failed to reasonably
compensate the supervisors for the enormous burden of responsibility of the job.
Mendocino County supervisors control a
budget of $161 million, direct 1,533
employees, and exercise sole authority over
county land use and ordinances.
Most importantly, the low salary made it
impossible for many well-qualified citizens
to give up their careers and run for this temporary political office. People with the
knowledge, ability and experience needed
for county supervisor often earn far more
than $48,000 a year. To ask them to give up
their job security to seek elective office, and
to take a big pay cut as well, is simply
unreasonable. Any close observer of county
politics over the past 20 years will attest that
the result has been a weak field of candidates in some district supervisor elections.
Since the difference between a good decision and a disastrous decision has often been
a single vote on the Board of Supervisors,
the consequences have been serious for the
entire county.
Critics of the Board of Supervisors - like
the editor of this newspaper- need to realize
that they have no hope of getting a board to
their liking unless strong new candidates
come forward to run for the office. This isn’t
likely to happen unless the position is paid a
reasonable salary that lessens the financial
sacrifice and economic insecurity that so
many candidates must endure.
Contrary to the accusations that have
been made in recent editorials, the supervisors have acted correctly in every step along
the way to this pay increase. Since the
Grand Jury rejected a request I made as a
private citizen in November, 2006 that they
study the supervisors’ salary, it was incumbent on the supervisors themselves to initiate action. By state law, only the supervisors
themselves can fix their own salaries.
The supervisors directed their chief executive officer, Al Beltrami, to study supervisor salaries in other counties and make a
recommendation. He reported in May that
Mendocino County supervisors were paid
less than those in Sonoma, Humboldt, Lake,
Napa, El Dorado, and Yolo counties.
Beltrami recommended a substantial

We aren’t giving up yet in our effort to
turn back the county supervisors’ $20,000
pay raise. A raise, by the way, which will
increase first thing this July.
Because the supervisors are tying their
salaries to those of the state’s Superior Court
judges - for reasons that have yet to be logically explained by the supervisors - they will
likely get another raise July 1, when the
judges get what is expected to be a 3.4 percent raise.
The judges, who makes $171,684 annually now, are expecting raise of $5,836 on July
1.
Since the county supervisors - if they vote
Tuesday to finalize this pay raise scheme will be getting 40 percent of judges’ salaries
at all times, the county taxpayers will have
to shell out another $2,334 per supervisor,
bringing their annual salaries to over
$70,000.
As if that’s not bad enough, judges generally get raises every July and January. So the
county’s taxpayers will be forking out more
money every six months to these supervisors
without anyone having to take a vote or present their case to the taxpayers.
In essence they are not only giving themselves a $20,000 raise now but they are also
giving themselves a hidden $5,000 annual
raise without having to do another thing.
This is outrageous and the supervisors
need to hear it from you if you agree.
Here’s how to make your voice heard: All
supervisors can be reached through calling
463-4221, the general board office number.
Their fax number is 463-4245. Their official
email is [email protected]. At home
they can be reached at: Kendall Smith, 9648835; David Colfax, 895-3241; John
Pinches, 984-6700; Jim Wattenburger, 4689096; Mike Delbar 743-2767.

increase and a mechanism to tie the salary to
that of superior court judges, so that future
increases would be removed from the pressures of electoral politics and the salary
wouldn’t fall behind inflation, as it has often
in the past.
The supervisors agreed with Beltrami but
decided the new salary should be at a slightly higher level - 40 percent of the judges‚
pay, which would raise it to 68,659. This is
still lower than Sonoma, Humboldt, Napa
and El Dorado. By a 4-1 vote on May 15,
they instructed the county counsel to draw
up an ordinance to make the change.
The new ordinance was brought to a vote
on May 22. It was no secret - front page stories in the Ukiah Daily Journal and Willits
News had announced that the item was coming up for a vote. There was a significant
public turnout for the meeting and most people spoke in support of the increase. This
time the supervisors approved it by a 3-2
vote.
All ordinances must be voted on twice
before becoming law and the county counsel
placed the final ordinance on the supervisors‚ June 12 agenda. This meeting will be
held in Fort Bragg. The claim by the editor
that the location of the meeting was chosen
to hide from the outrage of her Ukiah readers is utterly false. The June 12 meeting was
planned to be held in Fort Bragg many
months ago as part of the board’s decision to
give coast residents a convenient opportuni-
ty to participate.
It’s easy to take cheap shots at the supervisors over this issue. Scarcely a day goes
by without news of another corruption scandal in business or government where insiders are grabbing millions of dollars in salary,
bonuses, severance pay, stock options or
outright bribes. It’s easy to try to tar the
countysupervisors with the same brush. But
it’s just wrong to do so.
The supervisors are carrying out a longoverdue reform of the structure of county
government by implementing full-time pay
for their full-time position. It means they’re
raising their own pay, but that’s unavoidable.
In the long-run, we‚ll all benefit if this
leads to stronger county government.

Obama in second
place on health care
after Edwards
One of the lessons journalists should have learned
from the 2000 election campaign is that what a candidate says about policy is not just a guide to his or her
thinking about a specific issue -- it is the best way to
get a true sense of the candidate's character.
Do you remember all the up-close-and-personals
about George W. Bush, and what a likeable guy he
was? Well, reporters would have had a much better fix
on who he was and how he would govern if they had
ignored all that and focused on the raw dishonesty and
irresponsibility of his policy proposals.
That is why I am not interested in what sports the
candidates play or speculation about their marriages. I
want to hear about their health care plans -- not just for
the substance but to get a sense of what kind of president each would be. Would they hesitate and triangulate, or would they push hard for real change?
Now, back in February John Edwards put his rivals
for the Democratic nomination on the spot, by coming
out with a full-fledged plan to cover all the uninsured.
Suddenly, vague expressions of support for universal health care were not enough: Candidates were
under pressure to present their own specific plans.
And the question was whether those plans would be as
bold and comprehensive as the Edwards proposal.
Four months have passed since then. So far, all
Hillary Clinton has released are proposals to help
reduce health care costs. It is worthy stuff, but it is
hard to avoid the sense that she is putting off dealing
with the hard part. The real test is how she proposes to
cover the uninsured.
But last week Barack Obama, after getting considerable grief for having failed to offer policy specifics,
finally delivered a comprehensive health care plan. So
how is it?
First, the good news. The Obama plan is smart and
serious, put together by people who know what they
are doing.
It also passes one basic test of courage. You cannot
be serious about health care without proposing an
injection of federal funds to help lower-income families pay for insurance, and that means advocating
some kind of tax increase. Well, Obama is now on
record calling for a partial rollback of the Bush tax
cuts.
Also, in the Obama plan, insurance companies will
not be allowed to deny people coverage or charge
them higher premiums based on their medical history.
Again, points for toughness.
Best of all, the Obama plan contains the same feature that makes the Edwards plan superior to, say, the
Schwarzenegger proposal in California: It lets people
choose between private plans and buying into a
Medicare-type plan offered by the government. Since
Medicare has much lower overhead costs than private
insurers, this competition would force the insurance
industry to cut costs, making our health-care system
more efficient. And if private insurers could not or
would not cut costs enough, the system would evolve
into Medicare for all, which is actually the best solution.
So there is a lot to commend the Obama plan. In
fact, it would have been considered daring if it had
been announced last year.
Now for the bad news. Although Obama says he
has a plan for universal health care, he actually does
not -- a point Edwards made in Sunday night's debate.
The Obama plan does not mandate insurance for
adults. So some people would take their chances -and then end up in emergency rooms receiving treatment at other people's expense. In that regard it is
actually weaker than the Schwarzenegger plan.
I asked David Cutler, a Harvard economist who
helped put together the Obama plan, about this omission. His answer was that Obama is reluctant to
impose a mandate that might not be enforceable, and
that he hopes -- based, to be fair, on some estimates by
Cutler and others -- that a combination of subsidies
and outreach can get all but a tiny fraction of the population insured without a mandate. Call it the timidity
of hope.
On the whole, the Obama plan is better than I
feared but not as comprehensive as I would have
liked. It does not quell my worries that Obama's dislike of "bitter and partisan" politics makes him too
cautious. But at least he has come out with a plan.
Sen. Clinton, we are waiting to hear from you.

The Mendocino Music Festival,
Patty Griffin to perform at
College Center Theater in July a summer tradition returns
The Daily Journal
The Daily Journal
Dig! music, in association
with Mendocino College
ComEx, proudly presents Patty
Griffin, on Sunday July 22, at 8
p.m. at the Mendocino College
Center Theater for an evening
with Patty and her band. Tickets
are $45 for general admission.
Griffin’s songs have been
recorded by the Dixie Chicks,
Martina McBride, Bette Midler,
Mary Chapin Carpenter, Reba
McEntire,
and
Maura
O’Connell, among others.
Since the release of her new
album, “Children Running
Through” in February, Griffin
has performed on David
Letterman, The Tonight Show
with Jay Leno and the Ellen
DeGeneres show. Her first visit
to Mendocino County is part of
a three-date stop in California
that includes the Wells Fargo
Center for the Arts in Santa
Rosa and the Mountain Winery
in Saratoga. For more information and for credit card purchases, call dig! music at 463-8444.
Patty was voted number 19 of
the best living songwriters by
Paste Magazine. Amped
Magazine calls Patty “one of
the most important singer/songwriters of our time.”
The new album debuted at
number 34 on the Billboard
charts and continues the
remarkable, creative evolution
that’s quietly established Patty
Griffin as a vital and singular
musical force. Her seamless
song-craft is supported by
spare, spacious arrangements
and production by Griffin along
with Mike McCarthy (Spoon)
that emphasize her effortlessly
eloquent lyrics, her subtly
indelible melodies and her sublimely expressive voice.
The artful instrumental settings are perfectly suited to the
soul glory of “Heavenly Day,”
the wistful melancholy of
“You’ll Remember,” the haunting intimacy of “Railroad
Wings,” the vivid storytelling
of “Trapeze” (with Emmylou
Harris), the rocking “No Bad
News,” the steely determination
of “I Don’t Ever Give Up” and
the healing gospel of “Up to the
Mountain” (recently performed
by Kelly Clarkson and recorded
by Soloman Burke).
“I just wanted to write from
the heart and let it be,” Griffin
says of the new album. Some of
the most beautiful music I’ve
ever heard is when you catch
somebody singing to themselves. I wanted to make music
that had that feeling.”
That sort of heartfelt forthrightness has won Griffin a
fiercely loyal fan base that’s
continued to expand. Among
her higher-profile admirers are
the Dixie Chicks, who recorded
much-loved versions of the
Griffin compositions “Top of
the World,” “Truth No.2” and
“Let Him Fly”; and Emmylou
Harris, a longtime supporter
who’s covered several Griffin
songs.
A Maine native, Patty grew
up the youngest of seven siblings, listening to her mother
sing hymns, country songs and
The Mendocino Music Festival returns to
Mendocino Headlands State Park again this
year from July 10 through July 21. The performance tent will be home to some of the world’s
most treasured classical music, as well as the
best in blues, jazz, folk and dance.
The Festival Orchestra, conducted by

Ukiah Sufi Dancing welcomes Jelaleddin
Loras from the Mevlevi Order of America
The Daily Journal
The Ukiah Sufi Dancing
Circle which offers the
Dances of Universal Peace
each month is most honored
to welcome Jelaleddin Loras
from te Mevlevi Order of
America.
Postneshin
Jelaleddin
Loras will lead for us the
Esta’furullah Zikr on Friday
at 7:30 p.m. at Yoga
Mendocino, 206 Mason St.
in Ukiah. This zikr is a Sufi
devotional chanting and
whirling prayer dance.
All are welcome to join
them. For more information,
contact [email protected].
From the words of Sheikh
Jelauddin, “In the Mevlevi
zikr, we start with forgiving
and forgiveness, wiping the
rust from our hearts, letting
go. We set out intention,
niyat. We wipe the dust from
our hearts and offer ourselves to the only Being.”
Over the years Jelaluddin
has developed a series of
zikrs based on a sacred
phrase, Esta’furullah, which
means to seek passionately
for the forgiveness of God.
This zikr allows people to
long for God’s Mercy to
cover their shortcomings,
offering their sincere intention to make amends and to
learn from their mistakes as
they consciously forgive
themselves and release
resentments toward others.
As the heart become free of
old impressions, its true
nature can be more fully
revealed.
Again, from the words of
Postneshin Loras, “You are
the precious one. Every treasure is right there in your
own heart. You are each a
rose, with a different fragrance, a different sweet
smell. When we chant the
name of God, we pull water
from the well. Pull this
water from the well in your
heart.”

The Ukiah High School Spring
Sports awards ceremony took time
Monday night to recognize the parents, faculty and most importantly,
the athletes who helped make the
Spring of 2007 one of the most successful in school history.
Inside the gymnasium, parents
and students nearly filled the
bleachers beyond capacity as others
were forced to stand near the
bleachers as the constant flashes
from digital cameras lit up the room
brighter than ever.
And it was on this storied night
that two students who seemed to
stand above the rest were recognized for their achievements. Tony
Crudo and Jolene Pearson were
each named male and female
Athletes of the Year, respectively.
As well, Athletic Director Christy
Melvin took a special moment to
recognize a parent who proved to
be more than useful to the baseball
team throughout the season: Robert
Murdock. Melvin asked Murdock to
come forward in recognition of his
work as the baseball team journalist. And as Murdock shuffled
through the crowd and came down
to the gym floor, the sound of a
roaring applause spread among the
crowd. At that point, it was obvious
everyone knew 2007 was a special
year.

Bradley and the U.S. warm Raiders look
up for a busy scocer summer to build on
defensive success
By ANDREW DALTON
Associated Press
CARSON Calif. — The
coach is for real now, and so is
the competition.
Bob Bradley, who has yet
to lose in five exhibition
games as the U.S. national
team’s coach, now takes the
squad into back-to-back international tournaments — the
CONCACAF Gold Cup and
Copa America — for its first
meaningful games since last
year’s early stumble out of the
World Cup.
The Americans open the
Gold Cup against Guatemala
on Thursday, then play
Trinidad and Tobago on
Saturday at the Home Depot
Center.
Bradley officially got the
job last month after four
games as interim coach. He
said losing the temporary tag
has not meant much.
“It never really interfered
with what we were doing,”
said Bradley, who led the
team to a 4-1 victory over
China in his first game as official coach on Saturday. “It’s
just one less question to
answer every day.”
Bradley has had a series of
young, makeshift squads in
his five previous games and is
relishing having his top players in one place rather than
Soccer
news
scattered around the world.
For the Gold Cup he’ll
have a roster that features
American-based
players
Landon Donovan and Eddie
Johnson, and Europe-based
Clint Demspey and DaMarcus
Beasley.
“I think everybody’s excited,” Bradley said. “By having
everybody in camp now, we
can focus on defending our
title.”
Bradley’s
predecessor
Bruce Arena
led
the
Americans to wins in two of
the last three Gold Cups, and
the United States took the
inaugural edition in 1991.
The championship of North
and Central America and the
Caribbean, the Gold Cup has
essentially been a duel
between the United States and
Mexico, which has won every
other Gold Cup but one —
Canada in 2000. The
Mexicans won three straight
in the 1990s and won again in
2003.
The 12-team tournament,
which got underway with a
doubleheader in Miami on
Wednesday night, will also
have
games
in
East
Rutherford,
N.J.,
and
Foxborough, Mass., this
weekend. There are no invited
guests from outside the region
for the first time. The tournament winner qualifies for the
2009 FIFA Confederations
Cup in South Africa.
For the first time in a dozen
years, the United States was
invited to Copa America, the
regional championship for
South America. The two tournaments come right on top of
each other. If the U.S. team
reaches the Gold Cup final on
June 24, it will have just four
days to get to Venezuela and
prepare for an opening-round
game against Argentina.
Bradley and most of his
players insist the Gold Cup is
the more important of the two
events, and anything less than
a tournament title will be a
failure.
“We want to continue to
show our dominance in this

Kiffin’s priority is fixing the
NFL’s most anemic offense
and trying to get No. 1 draft
pick JaMarcus Russell up to
speed with the Raiders’ playbook.
Thankfully
for
Oakland’s first-year coach,
the issues on defense aren’t as
pressing.
The Raiders owned the
NFL’s third-ranked defense
last year, the lone bright spot
during a 2-14 season that was
the franchise’s worst since
1963. The defense was so
good that when owner Al
Davis made sweeping coaching changes this offseason,
coordinator Rob Ryan and
most of his assistants were
spared.
While most of Kiffin’s time
is spent figuring out how to
get more out of an offense that
produced just 12 touchdowns
in 2006, the NFL’s youngest
head coach is also taking a
defensive crash course.
“I spend a lot of time with
them,”
Kiffin
said
Wednesday. “That’s so that I
totally understand what we’re
doing and our philosophy
there and our schemes.
“We go in every day after
(practice) and we watch the
Head Coach Lane Kiffin
film together as a whole staff
so our whole staff understands
it. The more offensive guys
can hear them and vice versa,
it just helps you as a staff.”
Oakland’s defense has
improved each year under
Ryan, son of former defensive
guru Buddy Ryan. Two years
ago, defensive end Derrick
Burgess set a franchise record
with 16 sacks and went to the
Pro Bowl. Last season, cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha

You’re on, LeBron: James arrives on NBA’s stage
By TOM WITHERS
AP Sports Writer
SAN ANTONIO —
Headphones tilted back on
his head, LeBron James
walked the Cleveland
Cavaliers through the shadowy tunnel and into the
arena’s gleaming lights —
and their first NBA finals.
“We’re here now!” James
shouted.
He brought them.
And he will decide how far
they’ll go.
Tagged as the face of the
league and saddled with huge
expectations, James arrived at
basketball’s ultimate stage

Kasey Keller, the 37-year-old

important thing for us is to

Keller, who started in the

B.LB. — Before LeBron.
The 22-year-old has been a
household name in the U.S.
since he was an Akron, Ohio,
high school phenomenon, and
his growing popularity has
made him just as well known
on the playgrounds of
Beijing.
In these playoffs, his second trip to the postseason,
James has elevated his multidimensional game to a higher
level, pushing the Cavaliers
within four victories of
Cleveland’s first major sports
title since 1964.
His appearance in the bestof-seven series should do
wonders for the NBA’s globalization plan. Undoubtedly,
he’ll also boost TV ratings,
perhaps tempting casual
viewers interested in seeing if
he can match his jaw-dropping, 48-point performance in
Game 5 of the Eastern
Conference finals against
Detroit.
It’s as if Michael Jordan,
the more famous tongue-wagging No. 23, has resurfaced.
Not quite. Not yet.
With most of the attention
focused on James, the other
team in this LeBronian lovefest isn’t getting its proper
due. But hasn’t that always
been the case for the Spurs,
standing at the edge of their
fourth championship since
1999?
“The league is about new,
exciting things,” said Spurs
forward Michael Finley.
“And LeBron is that thing
right now.”
The Spurs are still, well,
the Spurs: basic, boring and
bland — just how their humble star center Tim Duncan
and the Western Conference
champs like it.
They have always won
with defense, and still do.
The league’s stingiest defensive squad during the regular
season must figure out how
to slow James, who sliced up
the Pistons for 25.7 points,
9.2 rebounds and 8.5 assists,
putting him with Oscar
Robertson (1963), John
Havlicek (1968) and Larry
Bird (1986) as the only players to reach those averages in
a conference finals.
Rather than having one play
free and the other at strong,
the Raiders are using Huff
almost exclusively on the left
side of the field with
Schweigert on the right.
“When we play the Chiefs
or Chargers or something like
that, I’ll be down covering
(Antonio) Gates and (Tony)
Gonzalez, so it kind of just
depends,”
said
Huff,
Oakland’s first-round pick in
2006. “We can disguise a lot
more. Before, we were in man
on a lot of downs so any
motion, (and opponents) knew
we were in man or zone
because I’d be running across.
Now if they motion, me and
Stu stay right and left.”
Kiffin feels the change in
the secondary, along with a
year of NFL experience, will
benefit Huff, who started all
16 games as a rookie but had
no interceptions.
“I think it really allows him
to play faster because he’s not
so nervous about bad things
happening,” Kiffin said.
“Sometimes so much pressure’s on those guys that they
don’t play the way they
played their whole life, so
hopefully we’ll get him back
to that.”
Burgess, who is reportedly
seeking a new deal with the
Raiders, has been absent from
the team’s voluntary workouts. Neither Sapp nor
Burgess
attended
Wednesday’s practice, and
both are expected to skip next
week’s three-day minicamp.
Russell and veteran Josh
McCown split time running
Oakland’s first-team offense
on Wednesday.
Missing was Andrew
Walter, the third-year quarterback who led the Raiders to
their only two wins last year.
Kiffin said Walter underwent
arthroscopic knee surgery on
Monday and is expected to be
out 4-6 weeks.
Running back LaMont
Jordan was held out of the
practice as well because of the
flu but did attend team meetings.
Keller was dropped by
Germany’s
Borussia
Moenchengladbach and is
currently unattached. He said
Tuesday he has received and
turned down several offers.
He wants to play in Europe,
not MLS.
Bradley and U.S. Soccer

the two rosters will be different, with perhaps eight to 12
players in both tournaments,
but wouldn’t give specifics.
The coach must decide by

Donovan, who has scored five
national team goals in 2007
after an 18-month and 18game international scoreless
drought, said “I don’t know
yet” of a Copa America
appearance.
“Bob and I have spoken,”
Donovan said. “They know
how I feel, I know how they
feel, we’ll see what happens.”
The 25-year-old forward is
second on the team’s all-time
scoring list with 30 goals.
The United States has
never lost in the group-play
round of the Gold Cup, and
with just one World Cup
appearance between them,
Guatemala and Trinidad and
Tobago aren’t the most fearsome opponents.
But Guatemala, whose roster includes Carlos Ruiz of FC
Dallas, played the Americans
to a 0-0 draw in an exhibition
in Texas in late March.
“They packed it in against
us in Dallas, and we couldn’t
break them down,” Keller
said. “So we know it’s not a
walkover.”
The U.S. team expects
another conservative, defensive
performance
from
Guatemala, and some grief
from Ruiz.
“He’s a hassle to be
around,” said U.S. defender
Frankie Hejduk, a surprise
roster selection who hasn’t
played for the national team in
more than a year. “He works
his butt off. You can’t lose
concentration on him for the
whole game.”
Keller said beating the
United States has always been
a big goal for the smaller
teams in this tournament.
“We’re a big scalp now,” he
said. “It’s no longer just ’Let’s
beat the USA because of political issues.’ Now, it’s ’Let’s
beat the USA because they’re
a good football country.”’

Russian romance comes
to Mendocino this Saturday
The Daily Journal
Mendocino Opera Fresca presents
Soprano Maria Mikheyenko, a Russian
Jewish émigré living in San Francisco, in a
twilight program of romantic Russian songs
Saturday at 7 p.m., at the Garden Room of
the Mendocino Hotel, Main Street,
Mendocino.
The program, featuring works of Glinka,
Alyabyev, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff,
Bulachov, Dargomizhsky, Gurilov and others, explores the simple complexities of
life, love and romance from the perspective
of composers of her native land.
Mikheyenko, 31, a native of St. Petersburg,
came with her family o the United States at
the age of 8. She pursued voice studies at
the University of Michigan and the San
Francisco Conservatory of Music.
She has sung Mussorgsky’s Songs and
Dances of Death with the Russian Chamber
Orchestra of Marin, was a guest artist at the
Annual Russian Festival of San Francisco,
and performs recitals of Russian Romances
throughout the Bay Area. In the world of
opera, Ms. Mikheyenko has sung with
Capitol Opera Sacramento, Bay Shore
Lyric Opera, Berkeley Opera, Oakland
Opera Theater, Pocket Opera, Bay Area
Summer Opera Theater Institute, the Rome
Festival, and the Austrian American Mozart
Academy in Salzburg.
Mikheyenko has also delved into contemporary opera, creating the roles of Salai
(Leonardo da Vinci’s lifelong servant and
pupil) in the world premiere of Leonardo’s
Notebooks, and Lucifer/Onesta Donati in
the world premiere of Machiavelli’s
Belfagor, both written by Bay Area composer Lisa Scola Prosek. Mikheyenko
Maria Mikheyenko
recently performed Susanna in Mozart’s Le
nozze di Figaro with Capitol Opera
Sacramento. The early evening program
will be accompanied by pianist Kevin
Korth, of the San Francisco Conservatory
of Music. The event will feature sparkling
wine, Executive Chef Drew Ison’s awardwinning ahi tartare, and American Caviar.
For tickets and information, contact
Mendocino Opera Fresca at 1-888-82OPERA / 937-3646, operafresca.com,
Mendocino Hotel at 937-0511, or [email protected].
‘Knocked Up’ -- Don’t watch
the movie, just the trailer
Who knew that one night
could lead to so much trouble?
“Knocked Up” directed by
Judd Apatow and starring
Katherine Heigl (“Grey’s
Anatomy” TV Series), Seth
Rogen, Paul Rudd (“Night at
the Museum”) and Leslie
Mann (“Big Daddy”) is a
great idea and concept for a
film gone completely wrong.
Alison Scott (Heigl) is a
successful woman working
her way up in the entertainment business working behind
the camera for the “E!” entertainment channel. She lives
with her sister in a guest house
in their yard and is happy with
her life.
Ben Stone (Rogen) is an
irresponsible guy living with
his three roommates smoking,
drinking and spending wasted
time creating a Web site in
which the idea has already
been done.
When Alison finds out that
she is getting a promotion to
be in front of the camera she
and her sister Debbie (Mann)
go out to celebrate.
Arriving at a night club she
meets Ben who is happy to
visit with her for the night
when an emergency at home
FOCUS
ON FILM
By Shelby White
occurs and Debbie must leave.
Now one drunken night
turns into a pregnancy and
everything is fairly down hill
from there.
I found this movie to be
very dull, horribly shot and a
good concept for a film that
was ruined by bad content.
The camera shots for this
movie seemed to be done on
many occasions with a hand
held camera. This made many
scenes very shaky and were
difficult to watch.
Concepts for this film
could have been very interesting. A man meets a woman at
a club. He is completely
unemployed and has no
responsibilities while she has
a great job and life. One
drunken night leads to a pregnancy and a funny yet dramatic film is born, but this was in
no way the case.
There were many completely wasted scenes filmed
and the only thing about this
movie that was funny were the
scenes shown in the trailer to
get you to watch it.
There were some good
parts in this movie, but as
soon as it would pick something like this up it would
drop off and fall back into a
boring and relentless pit all
over again.
It is unfortunate that Heigl
starred in such a movie as this
because her great acting skills
suffered in a movie that didn’t
really show her full potential.
I don’t recommend this
movie to anyone who is looking for a good laugh or a great
movie.

Thursday, June 7, 2007
A good ally you’ve developed who has always been
in the position to help you
advance your objectives but
was never asked to do so
might do so anyway with
unsolicited assistance that
will be invaluable to you.
GEMINI (May 21-June
20) -- That career objective
you’ve been trying to
achieve can be accomplished by using your mind - not muscles and clout. The
race will go to the brightest
and not the brash.
CANCER (June 21-July
22) -- If you find that people
with whom you’re associated seem to be more appreciative of your ideas than
usual, it’ll be because your
thoughts will be good ones
and right on target.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - A financial matter about
which you’ve been quite
concerned will be taking a
turn for the better, owing
mostly to the way you handle the matter. But it may
still take a bit of time to settle.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22) -- At least listen to a
friend’s advice because,
after mulling it over in your
mind, you are apt to discover what he or she suggested
was actually sage counsel.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.
23) -- Progress can be made
where your career is concerned if you’ll give it the
serious consideration it
needs. Don’t rush in without
thinking things through and
1994), actress; Tom Jones (1940-), singer, is
67; Jenny Jones (1946-), TV personality, is 61;
Liam Neeson (1952-), actor, is 55; Prince
(1958-), musician, is 49; Allen Iverson (1975), basketball player, is 32; Anna Kournikova
(1981-), tennis player, is 26.
TODAY’S SPORTS: In 1936, the New
York Yankees won a 16-inning game, the
you will do quite well.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
22) -- Mutual benefits can be
derived from a discussion
with one who shares the
same interests in a matter as
you do. Each will have valuable information that, when
put together, will make
sense.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.
23-Dec. 21) -- You have a
remarkable ability for being
able to think things through
and to transform outmoded
ideas or things into something more functional and
useful. Put it to work.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19) -- The reason
you’ve been denied some
information you’re seeking
is because you haven’t yet
longest ever without a strikeout.
TODAY’S QUOTE: “Divide and rule, a
sound motto. Unite and lead, a better one.” -Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
TODAY’S FACT: The Pope’s license-plate
number is SCV-1, for Vatican City-State.
TODAY’S MOON: Between full moon
(May 31) and last quarter (June 8).
asked the right questions of
the right people. Seek and
you’ll find what you’re
looking for.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 19) -- If you put your
mind to it, you should be
able to make an improvement in your financial position. It may not be mammoth, but it could make
things a lot easier and more
secure for you.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March
20) -- Some kind of social
outlet could prove to be a
pleasurable experience for
you. If you have nothing on
the agenda, drum something
up yourself but put a limit
on the number of participants.
ARIES (March 21-April
19) -- Important information
you’ve been trying to get
your hands on could come to
you from a rather unlikely
source. The person will be
someone with whom you
have nothing in common.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20) -- News you’ve been
hoping to receive is likely to
arrive, and it could be better
than you thought. It’ll relate
to something new in which
you’re involved that’ll be
worth waiting for.

Jumbles: EXERT
Answer: How he described the new nurse’s effort to
draw blood — A “VEIN” ATTEMPT
Husband feels his marriage is in need of serious help
Dear Annie: “Angie” and I dated for
four years, and had frank discussions about
children. I knew she wanted a large family,
and she knew I was almost as apprehensive
as I was eager. We married last summer,
and everything seemed great -- until she
turned 30. Now every conversation turns
into her demanding an immediate attempt
to have children.
Actually, all our conversations are fights.
Our tiny house drives her crazy. Her willful
refusal to tidy up makes me nuts. She
blames me for her financial anxiety, saying
she never cared about budgets or credit ratings before I brought them up. She wants
to be a world traveler and heavy party-girl
until the day she is pregnant, while I want a
more domestic lifestyle.
I say we need to find ways to face our
challenges together, without screaming,
sobbing or saying hurtful things. I’ve
begged her to come to counseling with me,
ANNIE’S MAILBOX
By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
and I’ve offered to pay for financial planning. She considers this stalling, when I
should be stepping up and starting a family.
Angie is the love of my life and the light
in my eyes, but fighting with her eats away
at me. I wake up in the middle of the night
feeling sick. If the storm is nearly throwing
us overboard now, how can we expect
smoother sailing when our children need us
constantly and we are chronically sleepdeprived? -- Trying My Best
Dear Trying: You are talking apples and
oranges, logic versus emotion. Of course
the problems don’t get easier when you
have children, but if you truly felt the mar-

riage was solid, you might not be so averse
to starting a family. Frankly, you and Angie
don’t seem compatible anymore. Insist that
she go with you for couples counseling.
You need someone to help you sort through
all the conflict.
Dear Annie: I have never dated much,
so I could use your help. I met this fine guy
on a blind date, and we hit it off great. We
spent the night together but did not have
sex. The next morning, I gave him my
number and told him to call if he ever
wanted to hang out. Well, it’s been a
month, and he has yet to call.
I asked the friend who set us up to find
out what happened, and she said he is just
shy and it takes a lot of effort for him to
call someone. She also said he told her he
had a good time the night we went out.
I can’t stop thinking about him. He just
blew me away like no one before. He didn’t give me his number, so I wrote him a
letter and told him I’m not looking for a
relationship, but I had a good time and
hope he’ll call. I sent him my number, and
that was it.
I have yet to hear from him, but friends
say he talks about me. What should I do -call him or let it go? I don’t want to seem
lame. -- Confused in North Carolina
Dear N.C.: He hasn’t called in a month?
It’s time to let it go. Either he expected sex
and has moved on to easier pastures, or
he’s not that interested. If he changes his
mind, he knows how to reach you, but any
further attempts by you to contact him will
be seen as clingy and desperate.
Dear Annie: This is in reply to the letter
from “V,” who was angry about having to
come in to her doctor’s office every month
just to get a prescription refill.
I showed that letter to my husband, a
physician for 27 years, and he said this
practice is unethical. His advice is to look
for a new doctor. My husband writes prescriptions for long-term medications for
one year (the legal limit), and only after
that would he require a return visit. “V”
should look for a wonderful, caring physician like my dear husband. I’m beginning
to think they are hard to find. -- Lois

Williamson Briefly
ty officials tried to block the
transfer of the parcels to new
owners, lawsuits followed.
County officials and others
want the Legislature to make
it harder to use Williamson
Act-contracted land primarily
for residential purposes
instead of the intended agricultural, open space and compatible uses.
Wiggins said her bill
“requires that certain findings
be made for proposed subdivisions of land which are
under a voluntary Williamson
Act contract.
“Unfortunately,”
she
added, “a loophole exists that
has resulted in residential
developments on agricultural
lands, while the property
owner continues to benefit
from the tax break provided
under the Williamson Act. SB
634 closes this loophole and
protects the integrity of the
Williamson Act.”
Under her bill, local officials would be prohibited
from approving proposed
subdivisions of Williamson
Act-contracted lands unless
they make the following findings: The proposed subdivisions are consistent with the
purposes of the Williamson
Act;
Parcels must be consistent
with the Williamson Act contract and with local rules for
administering Williamson Act
agricultural preserves.
Parcels can sustain a commercial agricultural use, an
open space use or both.
Parcels must have the agricultural improvements needed to sustain a commercial
agricultural use, an open
space use, or both and each
parcel must meet the productivity and other requirements
for inclusion in a Williamson
Act contract and the local
rules
for
administering
Williamson Act preserves;
The approval of the subdivision will not compromise
the long-term commercial
agricultural use or open-space
use of the subdivided land,
other Williamson Act contracted land in the same agricultural preserve, or other
agricultural or open space
land in the same agricultural
preserve.
Even with those findings,
local officials would still be
required to impose “reasonable and necessary restrictions” on the residential uses
of the resulting parcels,

“That’s just the way life

that somehow the relationship

I’m going to work to keep it
that way.”

Turkish officials:
Troops enter
Iraq in ‘hot
pursuit’ raid
ANKARA, Turkey (AP) —
Hundreds of Turkish troops
crossed into northern Iraq
early Wednesday to chase
Kurdish guerrillas who attack
Turkey from bases there,
Turkish security officials said.
One official said the troops
had returned to their bases by
the end of the day, but
Turkey’s foreign minister
denied they had ever entered
Iraq.
The senior security officials, speaking on condition of
anonymity because they were
not authorized to speak to the
media, characterized the raid
as a “hot pursuit” raid that was
limited in scope. They told
The Associated Press it did
not constitute the kind of large
incursion that Turkish leaders
have been discussing in recent
weeks.
One official said several
thousand troops went less than
two miles inside Iraq and were
still there in late afternoon. “It
is a hot pursuit, not an incursion,” one official said.
Another official said by
telephone it was “not a major
offensive and the number of
troops is not in the tens of
thousands.” He also said the
Turkish troops went into a
remote, mountainous area.
A third official, based in the
border region, said 600 commandos entered Iraq, and
were backed up by several
thousand troops along the bor-
der. He said the commandos
raided Iraqi territory across
from the Turkish border town
of Cukurca before dawn after
rebels opened fire from Iraqi
soil on Turkish patrols.
Giuliani, McCain
to skip test of Iowa
organizational
strength
WASHINGTON (AP) —
Republican presidential frontrunner Rudy Giuliani said
Wednesday he won’t compete
in a high-profile Iowa straw
poll, and rival John McCain
quickly followed suit in
bypassing the early test of
strength.
“We are 100 percent committed to winning the Iowa
caucuses in January,” said
Mike DuHaime, the former
New York City mayor’s campaign manager, even as he
announced the decision to
skip the Aug. 11 straw poll in
Ames, Iowa.
Hours later, Terry Nelson,
McCain’s campaign manager,
told The Associated Press that
in light of Giuliani’s
announcement “it’s clear that
the Ames straw poll will not
be a meaningful test of the
leading candidates’ organizational abilities.” Thus, he said:
“We have decided to forgo our
participation in the event.”
Nelson said McCain, like
Giuliani, would still compete
in the state’s lead-off caucuses. Among the top-tier candidates only Mitt Romney said
he would participate in the
nonbinding August straw poll.
It’s a decades-old dress
rehearsal that allows GOP
candidates to measure their
organizational
strength
months before the caucuses, a
one-day presidential contest
that requires a strong get-outthe-vote operation to ensure
backers participate.
Police find body
believed to be teen
abducted from
store parking lot
OVERLAND PARK, Kan.
(AP) — Police on Wednesday
found a body they believe is
that of a teenager who disappeared four days ago after she
was apparently abducted from
a department store parking lot.
Police Chief John Douglass
said the body was found
across the state line at a
Grandview,
Mo.,
lake.
Positive identification was
pending, but authorities
believed it was 18-year-old
Kelsey Smith.
Officers had been searching woods at the lake since
Tuesday after investigators
traced two signals from
Smith’s cell phone to an area
about 15 miles east of the
Target store in suburban
Kansas City.
Police had questioned
“numerous people” but had
not identified a suspect,
Douglass said.
Authorities were still seeking information about a young
man videotaped entering and
leaving the Target store within
moments of Smith. He said
police still considered the
unidentified man a “person of
interest” and not a suspect.
Cyclone Gonu
hammers Oman
before veering
toward Iran
MUSCAT, Oman (AP) —
Cyclone
Gonu
battered
Oman’s coast Wednesday
with fierce winds and torrential rains, forcing thousands
from their homes and shutting
down oil installations before
heading toward the world’s
most important crude oil
tanker route.
The storm — a rarity in the
Middle East — was expected
to make landfall on the southeastern Iranian coast late
Thursday, according to the
U.S. military’s Joint Typhoon
Warning Center. But it was
likely to spare Iran’s offshore
oil installations that lie more
than 120 miles to the west.
In Muscat, the cyclone
unleashed sheets of rainfall
and howling winds rarely seen
in the quiet seaside capital.
Police and emergency vehi-
cles could hardly move
through the flooded streets,
and authorities used text messages to warn people away
from low-lying areas.
The storm caused little
damage to Oman’s relatively
small oil fields. But raging
seas prevented tankers from
sailing from Omani ports,
effectively shutting down the
country’s oil exports, said
Nasser bin Khamis al-Jashimi
of the Ministry of Oil and Gas.
Authorities also closed all
operations at the port of Sohar
and evacuated 11,000 workers, port spokesman Dirk Jan
De Vink said.
Roller shoes
injuries contribute
to about 1,600
ER visits
CHICAGO
(AP)
—
Injuries from trendy roller
shoes are far more numerous
than previously thought, contributing to about 1,600 emergency room visits last year,
the U.S. Consumer Product
Safety Commission said
Wednesday.
The injuries were mostly in
children, the target market for
the wheeled shoes that send
kids cruising down sidewalks,
across playgrounds and
through
shopping
mall
crowds.
Scott
Wolfson,
a
spokesman for the Consumer
Product Safety Commission,
said last week that the agency
knew of at least 64 roller
shoe-related injuries and one
death between September
2005 through December 2006.
The new higher estimate is
based on a more recent and
thorough examination by staff
statisticians of data reported to
the agency, Wolfson told the
AP Wednesday.
The update follows new
safety advice posted online
Tuesday by the American
Academy of Orthopaedic
Surgeons, which recommends
helmets, wrist protectors and
knee and elbow pads for kids
who wear wheeled shoes.
Water
“The artwork can be exhibited at schools in the fall,”
Weller explains, and WELL
also wants “to select some of
the best work for posters and
publicity to spread the word
throughout the community.”
He hopes to continue the
program “into the fall term
and beyond.”
A donation-based Willits
Water Conservation Fund is
being set up at the Bank of
Willits to receive money from
all well-wishers, the mayor
adds. “The fund will be distributed evenly to all Willits
schools that participate in the
challenge.”
Disbursements will be
announced Sept. 15 at
Recreation Grove during the
final entry in WELL’s “Films
in the Park” series, which will
focus on water.
The series is co-sponsored
by WELL and the Willits
Action Group.
“Together, I am...confident
we can work together to solve
our present and future water
needs,” Jorgensen said.
WELL has contributed
$250 seed money toward the
project and encourages other
individuals and organizations
to contribute to the fund.
Contact WELL at 459-1256
to donate or volunteer.
Stocks fall after productivity data, bond yields rise
Associated Press
NEW YORK — Stocks slid
for a second straight session
Wednesday after an increase in
labor costs stirred concerns
about inflation and interest rates
and as the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury flirted
with 5 percent. The Dow Jones
industrials fell nearly 130 points
and registered its biggest twoday decline since March.
Economic data showing unit
labor costs rose a higher-thanexpected 1.8 percent raised
concerns of inflationary pressures. The Labor Department
also reported that productivity
waned in the first quarter as
expected. The readings did little
to alleviate investor concerns
that the inflation-wary Federal
Reserve might lean toward raising rates rather than lowering
them later this year. The inflation jitters came alongside the
European Central Bank’s widely expected decision to raise its
key interest rate by a quarter of
a percentage point to 4 percent.
Stocks in Europe fell sharply.
“In the last week or two, the
expectation that the Fed was
going to lower interest rates in
the next six months has been
put to the side so the bond mar-
ket has reacted,” said George
Shipp, chief investment officer
at investment adviser Scott &
Stringfellow, referring to a
recent rise in bond yields.
Yields, which move higher as
bond prices fall, have increased
as investors have regarded a
reduction in interest rates as less
likely.
