Clerk-Recorder clarifies election process following the death of district attorney By KATIE MINTZ The Daily Journal Assessor/County Clerk-Recorder Marsha Wharff announced Friday that should the late District Attorney Norman Vroman receive a majority of votes in the November general election, the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors will have to appoint someone to fill the position. Vroman, 69, died Thursday afternoon of complications due to a heart attack. The two-term district attorney was engaged in a Vroman run for re-election against Fort Bragg attorney Meredith Lintott, and California elections law requires that at less than 68 days away from the election, his name remains on the ballot despite his death. According to County Counsel Jeanine Nadel, whomever might be appointed would serve a full four-year term. “Pursuant to the government code, all county officials are to be elected in the general election in which the governor is elected,” Nadel said. “If, in fact, Norm is elected, the board See VROMAN, Page 2 Isaac Eckel/The Daily Journal SACRAMENTO – Less than a year after he vetoed a bill that would have required California drivers to move over or slow down when approaching a roadside emergency along state highways, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger reversed course and has signed the “Move Over, Slow Down” legislation. The bill sponsored by state Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto, mirrors laws in 37 states and goes into effect Jan. 1. “I am gratified by the governor’s signature of this common sense solution to a preventable problem,” Simitian said in a news release. “This bill is about promoting highway safety, plain and simple. I hope that it will put a stop to the senseless deaths of police officers, tow truck drivers, paramedics and other emergency personnel who are simply helping stranded motorists.” The law was the brainchild of tow truck driver Daniel Leon of Hayward. The governor vetoed the bill last year, saying that forcing drivers to change lanes could pose additional risks in a state where traffic congestion is among Monday: Warm with plenty of sunshine RED FLAG WARNING Current high winds and low humidity levels have sparked the concern of fire officials, who urge people to use extreme caution as long as the weather pattern lasts. The National Weather See TRIAL, Page 2 By GARY RICHARDS San Jose Mercury News Sunday: A full day of sunshine email: [email protected] By LAURA MCCUTCHEON The Daily Journal The murder trial of Trevor Conley, 23, of Ukiah, has been delayed until February following a reappointment of counsel by the Mendocino County Superior Court. Conley has been charged with murder in the death of Kevin Henry, 39, of Albion. Conley was previously represented by Public Defender Wes Hamilton, who was removed from the case after declaring a conflict. The court asked Ukiah attorney Donald Lipmanson to act as Conley’s attorney. On Friday, Lipmanson asked Judge Ron Brown to reschedule Conley’s trial for February so that Lipmanson can better prepare to defend Conley. “There’s more investigation that needs to be done,” Lipmanson said. Conley’s jury trial has been rescheduled for Feb. 26 with a pretrial conference scheduled for Jan. 22. Conley was originally scheduled to go on trial in October. Conley’s co-defendant, Nathan McWilliams, 22, of Ukiah, pleaded guilty to charges of second-degree murder in July. As part of his plea agreement, McWilliams will make a full statement to law enforcement and testify for the prosecution at Conley’s trial. Roadside emergency bill signed Faith community news DAILY JOURNAL ukiahdailyjournal.com IN COURT RELIGION Rebecca Kress, a Project WET teacher, gives a talk about water resources and watersheds to Theresa Sessoyeff’s class of fourth- and fifth-graders at Hopland Elementary School on Friday. Program teaches students about area water resources By JAMES ARENS The Daily Journal Young children, teenagers and even teachers are learning about one of our most important natural resources -- water -through Project WET: Water Education for Teachers. And there’s a hard working woman who’s passionate about water and teaching people about its importance. “There is no new water on the planet,” said Rebecca Kress, an outside contractor for the Mendocino Water Agency teaching Project WET. “We are drinking the same water dinosaurs were drinking when they were alive.” Project WET is a program that introduces teachers and students to the science of water and the issues surrounding the use and management of water in California. Some of the core goals of Project WET are to emphasize that “water is for all water users,” teach students, kindergarten through 12th Students inspect a storm drain while learning about water pollution and where water goes. grade, how to think, not what to think, and that informed people are more likely to make a difference through their actions. “This program was developed from a storm water program that was implemented and federally mandated by the government to keep storm water clean,” said Roland Sanford, the general manger of the Mendocino County Water Agency. The program tries to integrate art, reading, writ- ing, math and role playing to relay important information about water to students and to help enhance their vocabulary, and written and verbal skills. Kress goes to various schools in Mendocino County and teaches about the water cycle, wetlands conservation, storm drain runoff and a little bit about the oceans. “I teach students little things like washing your car in your yard rather than See WATER, Page 2 Librarians answer questions with IM By LEA BLEVINS MediaNews Group LIVERMORE – Got a question? Ask a librarian -but you don’t have to bother going to the library itself or even picking up a phone. Livermore librarians are standing by -- via online instant messaging -- to answer your burning questions. In an effort to reach out to more people in the community, the library began its instant messaging program on Sept. 6. Three librarians take turns filling shifts from 3 to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday. The after-school hours tend to make the program appropriate for students, but anyone is welcome to participate, Librarian Lyn Leone said. “It’s a different way to reach out to a younger population that’s already comfortable working in this medium,” she said. Many larger libraries across the country already subscribe to an instant messaging service, but Livermore decided to keep things more personal. “We wanted to do something on a smaller scale,” Leone said. The librarians use AOL Instant Messenger, Yahoo! Instant Messenger, MSN Messenger and Google Talk to ensure they are accessible to as many people as possible. Leone said that while instant messaging is a new thing for her, she feels that it will make more people feel comfortable asking questions. “I think a lot of people don’t necessarily approach librarians,” she said. A disadvantage of answering questions online is not knowing who you’re talking to, the librarians said. They typically conduct “reference interviews” with patrons because often the first question asked is not exactly what people are trying to find out. When instant messaging, it’s not always clear whether the question is coming from an 8-year-old or a college professor, Leone joked. Librarian Renee Romanoff said sometimes questions can be answered quickly, while others require more research. When that happens, the librarians will either ask the person on the other end of the message to wait or to receive an e-mail answer within 24 hours. Because the program is still fairly new, the librarians haven’t been swamped with questions yet. But they’ll be ready if that happens. Librarians have a script See LIBRARIANS, Page 2 2 – SATURDAY, SEPT. 23, 2006 DAILY DIGEST Editor: Jody Martinez, 468-3517 Vroman FUNERAL NOTICES [\ RUBY MOON CLARK BAXTER 1975-2006 Ruby entered this world on May 26, 1975 along with her twin sister.

Trial Continued from Page 1 Conley is charged with kidnapping, robbery and murder in the death of Henry, whose body was found under gray carpet-mat and a load of firewood on Tomki Road Nov. 12, 2005. According to testimony from the contracted medical examiner for Mendocino County, Dr. Jason Trent, Henry was stabbed and beaten to death. Henry’s car was found near Orr Springs Road Nov. 13, 2005. Mendocino County Sheriff’s Detective D.J. Alvarado said, during a pretrial hearing, that it appeared a stick had been wedged against the vehicle’s accelerator to make it drive off the road without anyone in it. Continued from Page 1 would have to appoint somebody to take that role, and that person would serve the full four-year term until the next gubernatorial election, which is in November 2010.” Chairman of the Board David Colfax, however, said there is some disagreement as to whether or not the supervisors would actually make the decision. “Some are of the opinion that, in fact, it would then go to a general election,” Colfax said. “At this point, it is not absolutely clear as to whether or not the board would be appointing a district attorney if Mr. Vroman is elected. I think we need to take this one step at a time.” The first step, Colfax said, is the appointment of an acting district attorney. Assistant District Attorney Keith Faulder has been in charge of the District Attorney’s Office since Vroman was admitted to Sutter Valley Memorial Hospital Tuesday. At the board meeting Tuesday, supervisors will consider Water Continued from Page 1 the street because the water can go into the grass and earth and be naturally filtered,” Kress said. “If you wash your car in the street the dirty water from your car will run right into the storm drain and into the river or creek. You would be better off going to a car wash because that water is treated. “Ideally, I try to teach one classroom at a time to help keep the program manageable, and I am available to teach at any school here in Mendocino County. The teachers are overwhelmed and it’s nice to be able to go to them and help them teach students about water. Also the Mendocino County Water Agency has a library for teachers.” She also is passionate about the watersheds in Mendocino County. “I remember I was floating the Russian River and seeing how polluted and littered it was,” Kress said. “I then asked my friend ‘why doesn’t someone clean this up’ and he asked me ‘Why don’t you?’ and since then I’ve done something about it.” Kress organized her first Librarians Continued from Page 1 from which they can copy and paste text if they’re too busy to respond to multiple people at once. “It is fun,” Leone said. “I think we all have a lot in closed session appointing an interim district attorney to serve until the new term begins in January. “We will be making the appointment on Tuesday, and then we’ll see what the law says,” Colfax said. Should a majority of voters cast ballots for Vroman despite his death, Colfax said he believed the board would likely interview candidates in open session and then vote on an appointment. He noted, however, that any speculation on what’s to come is premature, as the election has yet to take place. In the June primary, incumbent Vroman got 36 percent of the vote in a three-person race, while challenger Lintott received 42 percent. If Vroman were to win, it would not be the first time someone deceased were elected to a government position. In 2000, U.S. Senate candidate Mel Carnahan, then-governor of Missouri, narrowly defeated incumbent John Ashcroft, though Carnahan died in a plane crash three weeks before election night.

And, according to her, the Russian River is in excellent shape. “While the Russian River is doing well, everyday choices can affect our water supply,” Kress said. “Pollution starts in the towns, then it makes its way to the creeks, then the rivers and then to the oceans. A little thing like a cigarette filter can have a huge impact on our water supply.” Kress is also planning a private cleanup of the Russian River from Redwood Valley to Cloverdale because the nonprofit organization, Russian River Unlimited, has dissolved.

See RELIGION, Page 9 [email protected] The Ukiah Daily Journal By GILLIAN FLACCUS The Associated Press PASADENA, Calif. -- An Episcopal church’s decision Thursday not to cooperate with an IRS investigation into an anti-war sermon delivered before the 2004 presidential election sets up a high-profile confrontation between the liberal congregation and the IRS, which usually keeps such inquiries private. The leaders of the 3,500member All Saints Church voted unanimously to resist an order to turn over documents related to the sermon, which was given just two days before the election. The decision means the IRS must decide whether to ask the Justice Department to pursue the case in court. A judge would then rule on the validity of the agency’s demands. Bob Long, the senior warden at All Saints, said the 26member vestry voted unanimously early Thursday to reject the IRS’ demands, which included an interview with the rector, copies of emails and internal correspondence and utility bills. “We’re going to put it in their court -- and in a court of law -- so that we can get an adjudication to some very fundamental issues here that we see as an intolerable infringement of rights,” Long said. IRS spokesman Terry Lemon said he could not comment on the specific case and would not say whether the agency would request a court hearing. He instead issued a statement describing the procedure during such an investigation. “If the entity ultimately declines to answer the summons, the IRS can ask the Justice Department to pursue the case in court,” the statement read. The dispute has attracted the attention of religious leaders on the right and left, who say the IRS’ actions could make it more difficult for them to speak out on moral issues such as gay marriage and abortion during the midterm election campaign. Under federal tax law, church officials can legally discuss politics, but to retain tax-exempt status they cannot endorse candidates or parties. Most who do so receive a warning. The IRS, however, has promised tougher enforcement of the law during this year’s mid-term elections and in the 2008 election cycle. The agency completed investigations of 90 taxexempt churches and charities in 2004 and found wrongdoing in 70 percent of the cases. Four -- none of them churches -- lost their tax-exempt status. In 2005, the agency began audits of 70 churches and charities and has 40 cases pending so far this year. Earlier this week, the conservative Alliance Defense Fund and the Family Research Council sent letters to thousands of pastors informing them about their right to speak to congregations on issues in this year’s elections, including abortion and gay marriage. In recent years, Republicans in particular have teamed with conservative evangelical leaders to motivate would-be voters, a strategy credited with helping President Bush win re-election. The dispute with All Saints centers on a sermon titled “If Jesus Debated Senator Kerry and President Bush” that was delivered by guest pastor Rev. George Regas on Oct. 31, 2004. Though he did not endorse either President Bush or Sen. John Kerry, he said Jesus would condemn the Iraq war and Bush’s doctrine of pre-emptive war. “I believe Jesus would say to Bush and Kerry: ’War is itself the most extreme form of terrorism. President Bush, you have not made dramatically clear what have been the human consequences of the war in Iraq,”’ Regas said, according to a transcript. The IRS reprimanded the church in June 2005 and asked that it promise to be more careful. Church officials refused. Last week, the IRS demanded documents and an interview with the rector by the end of the month. According to the IRS, the only church ever to be stripped of its tax-exempt status for partisan politicking was the Church at Pierce Creek near Binghamton, N.Y., which was penalized in 1995 after running full-page ads against President Clinton in USA Today and The Washington Times in 1992 during election season. All Saints member Sally Howard, of West Hollywood, said she agreed with the vestry’s decision. “The church should not back down from speaking to issues of peace and justice. And if that means that the church is going to face loss of its tax-exempt status, then that will be,” she said. “We do not want to be in that position of being neutral or being silent because of the political ramifications.” Howard said Regas never urged parishioners to vote for particular candidates. “He has never, and he didn’t that day, he’s never stated that a particular person should be voted for,” she said.

Meadows, 468-3526 [email protected] The Ukiah Daily Journal From the desk of... From the desk of... MAUREEN DOWD NICHOLAS KRISTOF Sketchy allies Deep roots of AIDS WASHINGTON -- It helps to plug your book at the White House. After Pervez Musharraf coyly sidestepped a question at a news conference with President Bush about his claim on “60 Minutes” that Richard Armitage threatened to bomb Pakistan back to the Stone Age if it did not cooperate in routing the Taliban in Afghanistan, noting that he had to save such juicy tidbits for his book’s publication next week, he shot up over 1,000 spots on Amazon.com. Musharraf told Steve Kroft he found the Stone Age crack “very rude,” and Armitage was on the defensive Friday, explaining that he had been tough with Pakistan just after 9/11 but had not made any Flintstones threats. The former deputy to Colin Powell needn’t apologize. That was the last time our foreign policy was on track, when we were pursuing the real enemy. It’s all been downhill from there. The Pakistan president is a smooth operator, a military dictator cruising around the capital with his elegant wife and enormous security contingent, talking about how much he likes democracy, which he won’t yet allow. He may have more respect for checks and balances than Dick Cheney, but that’s not saying much. On the subject of Osama, he’s so slippery you want to lock him in a room with the muscle-bound Armitage. General General, as W. called him in that famous campaign pop quiz, tried to persuade Bush that the shabby truce he recently made with tribal leaders, agreeing that the Pakistani army would stay out of the wild border area next to Afghanistan -- where Osama and other al-Qaida and Taliban members are believed to be hiding -- was really “against” the militants. The Pakistan government has, in effect, simply turned over the North Waziristan area to the militants. ABC News quoted Maj. Gen. Shaukat Sultan Khan of Pakistan as saying that the deal was an implicit amnesty, and that Osama “would not be taken into custody” as long as he was “being like a peaceful citizen.” American officials are dubious about Musharraf’s commitment to destroying alQaida and the Taliban. But at the press conference, W., who no doubt thinks he has seen into General General’s soul, acted as though he were willing to believe the Pakistani president when he says he is “on the hunt” for Osama and the Taliban at the same time he’s setting up a safe haven for them -- and getting huffy at the idea that American forces have the right to go into Pakistan to track Osama. “Americans who are concerned about a recurrence of 9/11 are worried about the Axis of Evil when the real problem is the Axis of Allies -- Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Britain,” the British historian Niall Ferguson says. “The terrorists are funded in Saudi Arabia, they’re trained in Pakistan, and they organize their plots quite easily in London.” Ferguson, who analyzes evildoers and despots in his new book, “The War of the World: Twentieth-Century Conflict and the Descent of the West,” observes that Musharraf could not survive if he truly tried to break up the cozy relationship between militants, tribal leaders and some in his army and intelligence service. The Paks, as W. and Vice like to call them, are at the heart of the Faustian deal the Bush administration has made. The justification for invading Iraq was that they couldn’t allow a dictator who might be harboring terrorists to stay in power. But their great ally in the war on terror is Musharraf, a dictator who appears to be harboring terrorists, including the one we want most. Hamid Karzai, the president of Afghanistan, who is coming to the White House next week to dine with W. and General General, expressed a sly skepticism about his neighbor’s protestations that he is strategizing against militants. As David Sanger reported, the Afghan leader told New York Times editors and reporters at a meeting Thursday that he had tried to get Pakistan’s help in repelling the resurgent Taliban by giving the Pakistanis “information on training ground, on operation, people, their phone numbers, their GPS locations.” “Our friends come back to us and say this information is old,” Karzai continued. “Maybe. But it means they were there.” Asked where Osama was, he smiled and replied: “If I said he was in Pakistan, President Musharraf would be mad at me. And if I said he was in Afghanistan, it would not be true.” We may not have Osama, but at least W. helped General General with his Amazon ranking. “Buy the book,” the president recommended as the two allies wrapped up. YOKADOUMA, Cameroon -- It was about 70 years ago, evidence suggests, that a man somewhere in this remote forest area of southeastern Cameroon butchered a sick chimpanzee -- and the AIDS virus was born. Chimpanzees here carry a strain of simian immunodeficiency virus (the monkey version of HIV) that is genetically close to the main human variant. So the scientific betting is that the virus jumped to humans here and then traveled with human hosts by river south to Kinshasa, Congo, and then eventually to the wider world. The first proven case dates from Kinshasa in 1959. I’m traveling with Casey Parks, the student who won my contest to accompany me on a reporting trip, and we’ve been talking to people about AIDS here in its birthplace because the world can’t address problems of global poverty unless we tackle AIDS effectively -- and in places like this, it’s obvious that still isn’t happening. We met the family of Pascal Nttomba beside the fresh mound in the garden where he was buried two weeks ago. Nttomba was the breadwinner for the 20 people in the family. The Nttombas were relatively well off, living in a nice wooden house and sending their children to technical schools to learn vocations that would take them up a notch in the world. But then Pascal became sick. He could no longer work, and the family used all its savings to try to cure him -- first paying a traditional healer and then a doctor. Neither did any good, although the doctor charged more. In theory, antiretrovirals are available here to control the disease. But they are mostly for middle-class victims in the cities, and as in most of Africa, an ordinary person in a remote area has next to no chance of getting the drugs. And so Pascal died, and now the family is destitute. “There’s nothing to eat in the house, since this morning,” said his father, Valere. The women in the family were planning to scour the fields for cassava leaves to cook for dinner. They say they can also go into the forests to look for edible wild plants, but malnutrition looms. The children in technical school have dropped out, because there is no money. One of them is Hermine, a 19-year-old, who is now at risk of being approached by an older sugar daddy offering gifts in exchange for being his mistress, a common arrangement in Africa that has led to high infection rates among young women. “I’d do it,” she acknowledged -- after all, the family needs money. The family’s predicament underscores how the virus not only kills people but also further impoverishes the world’s poorest. And while the hardest-hit countries in southern Africa are doing a bit better against AIDS, others in the middle range like Cameroon or India haven’t woken up to the severity of the problem. An essential challenge is that 90 percent of those with HIV worldwide don’t know it, and you can’t begin to tackle the disease when no one knows who has it. Here, for example, neither Pascal’s wife nor any other member of his family has been tested. The mantra has been “voluntary counseling and testing,” but this tip-toeing approach is costing millions of lives. It’s time to move to routine testing. Sure, that will cause difficulties; despite efforts to safeguard privacy, some who test positive will become pariahs and will be driven from their villages. But the present approach is even worse and is on track for a worldwide death toll of 70 million by 2020. So unless they specifically opt out, people in highprevalence countries should be tested whenever they enter the medical system, marry, enter the armed forces, take a job in the civil service, or get pregnant. That should be coupled with a pledge to try to make treatment available to all who test positive. That emphasis on testing could be incorporated into the extension of President Bush’s fine program against AIDS, which will save some 9 million lives and is up for renewal next year. That program, which provided huge increases in spending and will be Bush’s best legacy, should be extended with even more money, while dropping its obsession with abstinence-only programs. With AIDS still killing 8,000 people every day worldwide -- and infecting 14,000 more -- we need to acknowledge that the present strategy isn’t adequate. We need a more aggressive approach, built around greater testing, so that we don’t go through another few decades with the Pascals of Africa dying needlessly and the Hermines selling themselves into sexual bondage.

Letters from our readers DUI arrests appreciated See any elephants? To the Editor: Every evening in the UDJ are arrests for DUI by Ukiah Police and Highway Patrol. I wish to thank them for all the lives they have saved by catching these hazards before they kill someone, even maybe me. Thanks again guys and gals; We appreciate you. To the Editor: President George W. Bush averred recently that we have had no terrorist attacks on the United States since 9/11/01 because of his anti-terrorist policies. For all we know that could quite possibly be true. In addition, the possibility of being true has the same value as my latest invention. Four years ago, I created a secret spray calculated to render even the largest member of the pachyderm family invisible. It was to save us from the ravages of a rogue elephant that the spray was conceived and later created. The spray, used for the last four years over most of Mendocino County, parts of Humboldt, Lake and Sonoma counties has proven itself to be a valid anti-optical method. It renders elephants maxima of South Central Asia and loxodonta africana of Africa absolutely invisible. You need no further vocal proof from me of the fact. Merely look out of the nearest window in your home or office. Do you see any elephants? Of course not. President George W. Bush has conquered domestic terrorism and I have made Mendocino’s elephants invisible. Ross Murray Boonville Dale Carter Ukiah Clean up downtown To the Editor: As the owner of a downtown business I’d like to have time to gaze up at the hills and worry about a flag pole, but I can’t get past the crumbling Palace Hotel and burnt out shell of the old pot club on my block. I used to rent that building from Mr. Chu and he made me carry a huge insurance policy in case of fire for him. I’m sure he did with the pot club as well. What has he done with the money? Mr. Baldwin, and City Council, please bring your focus back to the needs of the people whose taxes support this town and clean up the filth and decay you call the downtown business district that our locals and tourists are forced to live with every day. Carol Schallert owner of the North State Cafe A game of geographical musical chairs To the Editor: I am a member of a very old pioneer family that has been in Potter Valley since 1860. Growing up on Cold Creek we called the area now known as Lake Mendocino Coyote Valley. Now I find out that this area has moved to Redwood Valley. I am well-acquainted with the Pomo Nation but never heard a valley other than the Lake Mendocino area referred to as Coyote Valley and that was 50 years ago when the dam was built. Am I missing something here or is a game of geographical musical chairs going on? Thank you for your attention. Gail Klein San Diego LETTER POLICY The Daily Journal welcomes letters to the editor.

How is this possible, you might ask? “We started off the season by getting our butts kicked, then played in as close a game as you can get,” said Mendocino College head coach Tom Gang. “And then last week, we kicked butt. I think it shows that we’re a solid team and we can get through anything.” And Gang isn’t exaggerating. After a 56-7 season-opening loss to second-ranked Santa Rosa Junior College, the Eagles bounced back in week two for a thrilling, come- from-behind, 20-17 win over Shasta College. Last Saturday, Gang and the Eagles rolled over Gavilan College on the road with a 39-13 record to push their record to 2-1. Today, the Eagles will try and turn the last two weeks momentum into a full-blown winning streak as they travel to Santa Cruz to take on Cabrillo College (1-2). See EAGLES, Page 7 Isaac Eckel/The Daily Journal Mendocino College wide receiver Daniel Grant runs with the ball in the Eagles win over Shasta College. Tony Adame/The Daily Journal Gina Sbragia doled out seven kills for Mendocino College Friday in its win over College of the Redwoods. UKIAH 45, EUREKA 14 Sweet relief Mendo tough at home in win Wildcat offense comes alive for first win of the season Stark leads Eagles with 11 assists and six aces in final BVC tune-up By TONY ADAME The Daily Journal Down 25-22 in the first game of Friday’s match against College of the Redwoods, Mendocino College head coach didn’t like what he was seeing and called a timeout to talk to his thing about a few things – mainly their focus. “We just needed to turn up the volume,” Schweitzer said. “The intensity wasn’t there, and you could tell. We were being indecisive and not going to the ball like we should.” Schweitzer’s mini-pep talk did wonders for the Eagles, who emerged from the timeout with an 8-0 run to take the first game and cruised to its first win of the season over the visiting Corsairs. Mendocino won the second game 30-11, and the third game, 30-12. Mendocino (1-3) lost to College of the Redwoods earlier in the season at the Yuba College Tournament. “We came out and served tougher tonight,” said Schweitzer. “That this is a team we’ve lost to and now can come back and beat shows that we’re improving. The team has really been working hard.” The Eagles were led by Gina Sbragia’s seven kills and two blocks. Sbragia was also key on defense, shutting down the Corsairs offensive attack at the net with Alisa Cannia.

Even more impressive, all three of the Wildcats wins have been on the road. Against the Cougars, No. 1 player Jessica Kim clinched the victory for Ukiah with a twoand-a-half hour match against Kelley Perry, with Kim coming out with a 2-6, 6-4, 6-4 victory. “This was one of the most amazing high school matches I’ve seen played,” said Ukiah assistant coach Pat Milovina. “Jessica rallied back from her first set loss, winning her second set, and faced a do or die situaSee GIRLS, Page 8 Rich Bickel/The Eureka-Times Standard Ukiah’s Simeon Thomas leaps over Eureka defensive back Anthony Flores Friday in the Wildcats 45-14 victory. By ERIK FRASER The Eureka Times-Standard T he Eureka Loggers made significant progress on Friday night, butcouldn’t stop a multi-pronged Ukiah attack, losing 45-14 in a non-league game at Albee Stadium. Sophomore quarterback Kyle Morris threw for three touchdowns and rushed for another, and star running back Chad Bunting had 94 yards rushing and 64 yards receiving to lead Ukiah. Ukiah improves to 1-2, while the Loggers fall to 0-3. “We lost a couple of tough games to start the year,” said Ukiah head coach Chris Burris. We lost to Petaluma in the last 48 seconds, so it was good to get this win.” Bunting — who was the runner-up for North Bay League player of the year last year — did most of the damage (he scored one touchdown, kicked a 35-yard field goal and converted six extra points), but the Wildcats spread the wealth around on offense. Five different receivers caught passes and three backs had over 50 yards on the ground. “We’ve got a lot of guys around (Bunting) this year, guys like Simeon Thomas,” said Burris. “It’s nice that we don’t have to go to Chad all the time.” Thomas scored two of the Wildcats’ touchdowns — one on the ground and one through the air — and ran for 56 yards. Nick Henry also hit the 50-yard mark and found the end zone for the the Wildcats. Despite suffering another defeat, there was a lot Eureka could build on after Friday’s game. Most encouraging for the Loggers is that the passing game showed signs of life. Quarterback Justin Landry hooked up with wide receiver Greg Allen six times for 124 yards and a touchdown. “We’ve been wanting to get (Allen) into the game plan, to get him invloved,” said Eureka head coach Garett Montana. “Tonight we were See RELIEF, Page 8 COLLEGE FOOTBALL Cal’s Lynch wants to leave mark on ASU All-American running back hasn’t had chance to put up big numbers against Sun Devils – yet By GREG BEACHAM The Associated Press BERKELEY — Although Marshawn Lynch tore up most of the Pac-10 during his first two seasons in the league, the California tailback still hasn’t done much to Arizona State. The Golden Bears hope Lynch makes a devastating impression on the unbeaten Sun Devils on Saturday in the No. 21 Golden Bears’ league opener. Lynch was a freshman backup when Arizona State got shut out at Memorial Stadium two years ago, and the schools didn’t play each other last season when Lynch emerged as a star. “This is for bragging rights, so the intensity in practice picks up a little more,” said Lynch, who averaged 7.2 yards per carry in the Bears’ first three games this season. “I don’t know what it is, (but) it’s just different when Pac-10 time comes around.” Cal (2-1) is under pressure to prove its No. 9 preseason ranking was justified, and Lynch — who made a spectacular 71-yard TD run last week against Portland State — has been at the forefront of a strong week of practice. The 22nd-ranked Sun Devils will be the Bears’ biggest home test so far, and the loser will be in an early hole in the conference race. Arizona State coach Dirk Koetter believes the Bears have the league’s most impressive collection of skill players, with quarterback Nate Longshore directing Lynch, fellow tailback Justin Forsett and three outstanding receivers: DeSean Jackson, Robert Jordan and Lavelle Hawkins. But until the Bears direct that talent into See LYNCH, Page 7 ANG Photo Arizona State quarterback Rudy Carpenter leads the Pac-10 with 280.7 yards per game passing. THE UKIAH DAILY JOURNAL SPORTS RYDER CUP SATURDAY, SEPT. 23, 2006 – 7 BREWERS 13, GIANTS 12 DUKE LACROSSE Bonds ties Europe takes slim lead after opening day Aaron’s NL homer record By EDDIE PELLS The Associated Press STRAFFAN, Ireland — Helped by Darren Clarke’s emotional victory, Sergio Garcia’s clutch play and a late mistake by Jim Furyk, Europe took a slim lead after a closely fought opening day at the Ryder Cup. Europe led 5-3 after Friday’s first day of play, in which Garcia won twice, and seven of the eight matches came down to the 18th hole. It marked the fifth straight time Europe has led after the opening day. The Europeans are going for their third straight win and fifth in the last six. “It’s a good situation to come out with the lead,” said David Howell, who teamed with Henrik Stenson to earn half a point in the afternoon. “If we win every day, we win this thing.” Although Garcia was clutch in his two victories, Clarke gave Europe its signature win in the morning betterball round, a tear-filled stroll around The K Club played in honor of his wife, Heather, Lynch Continued from Page 6 a victory over a topflight opponent such as the Sun Devils (3-0), Jackson thinks nobody will care. “The first (Pac-10) game, that’s the one we’re worried about the most,” said Jackson, who already has caught five touchdown passes this season. “You play games, you learn after every game, and you get smarter. ... I think we’re ready for this one.” Koetter’s team faces its own reality check in Berkeley. The Sun Devils’ early season statistics were impressive — a Division I-leading 18 sacks and a 108-38 scoring advantage, for instance — but quarterback Rudy Carpenter and a new-look defense haven’t been truly tested. “It’s been real solid, but let’s not kid ourselves,” said Koetter, whose Sun Devils are winless in 10 trips to the four California Pac-10 schools in Eagles Continued from Page 6 The Seahawks picked up their first win last Saturday over American River Junior College, 32-0, as quarterback Scott Mackey went 21-for-35 passing for 224 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. “Cabrillo is a tough school, and they play with all the local kids,” Gang said. “They’re always really aggressive and come at you with lots of different sets on offense and defense. I think we may have spent more hours this week who died of cancer last month. Led by his birdie on the opening hole, sunk a few minutes after he shared hugs with his opponents and soaked in a standing ovation from the crowd on the tee box, Clarke and Lee Westwood defeated Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco 1 up. Furyk, meanwhile, spent 35 holes as the steady part of his duo with Tiger Woods. He spearheaded their 1-up victory over Colin Montgomerie and Padraig Harrington in the morning and helped keep them within striking range in the alternate-shot match in the afternoon. But the one-time U.S. Open champ knocked his long second shot on the par-5 18th into the water to allow Garcia and Luke Donald to seal a 2-up victory — a win scratched out even after Garcia skulled his shot from the greenside rough awkwardly across the putting surface. And that made Garcia 2-0 for the day. Earlier, he teamed with countryman Jose Maria Olazabal for a 3 and 2 win over David Toms and Brett Wetterich in better-ball. The afternoon rounds were riveting, filled with back-andforth matches, lots of very nice shots and a few more ugly ones. Three of the four ended up tied. Montgomerie made a clutch 6-footer on No. 18 to win the hole and earn a half point in the afternoon, teaming with Westwood against Mickelson and DiMarco. Americans Chad Campbell and Zach Johnson overcame a 2-down deficit with three holes left to halve their match with the Irish twosome of Harrington and Paul McGinley. Johnson, who missed a 3footer on 13, made up for it by hammering a 3-wood into easy two-putt range for a birdie on the par-5 16th to pull within one. In the morning, Woods, helped by Furyk, earned the first-day point that had eluded him since 1999. But neither player could get much going in the afternoon. his tenure. “Northern Arizona and Nevada and Colorado are nowhere near what we’re going to see from Cal.” Both teams also were ranked before their last meeting. Cal blanked Arizona State and quarterback Andrew Walter 27-0 on the way to the Holiday Bowl two years ago, and the Bears have won three straight in the rivalry. A near-sellout crowd is expected in Berkeley for the matchup of two teams coached by former Oregon offensive coordinators. Koetter sees many similarities in the schools’ offenses, and Cal’s much-hyped use of the spread offense this season hasn’t been terribly dramatic, with the formations showing up in only about 20 percent of coach Jeff Tedford’s plays. “You grew up watching these teams play each other, so it’s more of a rivalry situation,” Longshore said. “That’s what makes Pac-10 more interesting to everybody.” Longshore and Carpenter both grew up just north of Los Angeles, and played together in the CaliFlorida high-school all-star game. Both also won competitions for their starting jobs this season, with Longshore beating out Joe Ayoob and Carpenter bumping Bay Area native Sam Keller, who quickly transferred to Nebraska after Koetter named Keller the starter originally. Carpenter leads the Pac-10 in passing with 280.7 yards per game, but has thrown four interceptions that worry some fans. Cal’s defense also hopes to cause problems for him: The Bears knocked Portland State’s top two quarterbacks out of the first quarter of their game last week. “Coach is giving me a lot of chances to throw the ball down the field and make plays,” Carpenter said. “But also, I think people are used to what I did last year, and I wasn’t making as many mistakes last year.” “Everybody is questioning Rudy right now, and Rudy is playing fine,” Koetter said. prepping for them then we ever have because you have to be ready for the different things they do.” Mendocino quarterback Dayton Edwards went 16-for22 passing in the Eagles win over Gavilan Saturday, finishing with 234 yards passing and three touchdowns. It was also Edwards first game this season without an interception. The sophomore from Cottage Grove, Ore., has 522 yards passing through three games with seven touchdowns, but will be without favorite target Steven Joachim for up to a month after Joachim suffered a severely sprained ankle in the first quarter of the win over Gavilan. Edwards will have a familiar face backing him up on the other side of the ball Saturday, with starting outside linebacker and fellow Cottage Grove product Ernie Rubio (6-foot-1, 225 pounds) making his first start of the season after coming back from a broken arm. “Ernie was the heart of our defense going into the season,” Gang said. “Having that back, our most aggressive and experienced kid, that’s key. He’s looked awesome in practice. He does everything at a higher level.” The Associated Press MILWAUKEE — For Barry Bonds, being able to tie Hank Aaron’s NL home run record in the same city where Aaron started and ended his career was special. Bonds’ only regret was that he hit his 733rd homer Friday night at Miller Park and not Milwaukee County Stadium, where Aaron connected many times during his 22-year career. “It would have been kind of cool in the old ballpark because it is where he actually played his games,” Bonds said. “Nevertheless, it is still in Milwaukee and it is still great.” Bonds’ home run and six RBIs weren’t enough for San Francisco, though, and the Milwaukee Brewers outslugged the slumping Giants 13-12. But the highlight of the night was Bonds’ 25th home run of the season, his first since Sept. 13, which left him 22 homers behind Aaron’s career record of 755. With runners on first and third, the 42-year-old Bonds hit a 2-0 pitch from reliever Chris Spurling that traveled 403 feet and just cleared the wall in center field to give the Giants an 11-10 lead. Spurling was the 433rd major league pitcher that Bonds has homered against. Bonds said the tying the NL record was special “because it is the only league I’ve played in.” “It just barely went over,” he said. “I feel good right now.” By AARON BEARD The Associated Press File photo Barry Bonds hit his 733rd career home run Friday in Milwaukee. Brewers manager Ned Yost said he planned to walk Bonds in the sixth inning, but Spurling walked Shea Hillenbrand, who batted before Bonds. “We were going to walk Bonds and face (Ray) Durham in that situation,” Yost said. “But, it didn’t materialize and we made another mistake to Bonds and he hit it over the center-field wall.” Bonds added two doubles, giving him 586 to move past Rafael Palmeiro into 14th place on the career list. Bonds’ six RBIs tied the Giants’ season high. Pedro Feliz also had six RBIs on June 15 at Arizona. It was the sixth time in Bonds’ 20year career he’s had six RBIs in a game. The last time was Aug. 29, 2004, at Atlanta. His career high is seven RBIs, accomplished Oct. 1, 1993, at the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Nifong’s comments came as Superior Court Judge W. Osmond Smith III denied a defense request that prosecutors provide a detailed accounting of the alleged assault, including the exact time, place and type of sexual act the accuser said each defendant committed. A grand jury has indicted three lacrosse players — Reade Seligmann, 20; Collin Finnerty, 19; and David Evans, 23 — on charges of rape, kidnapping and sexual offense. The accuser, a student at nearby North Carolina Central University, told police she was raped in a bathroom by three men at a March 13 off-campus party. Kirk Osborn, who represents Seligmann, said the defense needed the “bill of particulars” because the accuser has told several different versions of the alleged assault, and his client has a right to know which version prosecutors will present at trial. In search and arrest warrants issued early in the investigation, police stated the accuser told investigators she was assaulted for 30 minutes.

Wilson Prep rushes to win By JAMES ARENS The Daily Journal Boonville – On a crystal clear night Friday, Lionel Wilson College Preparatory Academy beat Anderson Valley High School 52-0. There was also something crystal clear Friday ... Wilson Prep was going to run the ball. Wilson Prep rushed for 227 yards in the first half with senior running back and University of Nebraska signee Deandre West rushing for 169 yards on three carries. Wilson Prep’s, Jordan Ferguson also had a ball, running for 145 yards and one touchdown. Anderson Valley was not able to get things going in the game, only gaining 78 yards total in offense the entire game. Quarterback Delvon Lewis was the lone bright spot for Anderson Valley, rushing for 42 yards and throwing for another 20 yards. "This was quite an experience for these kids to come and see this beautiful countryside," said Wilson Prep head coach Desmond Gumbs. "I am proud of the way the our starters and especially the way our reserves stepped up in the absence of four starters today because of disciplinary reasons." Wilson Prep improved to 21 with the win and Anderson Valley dropped to 0-4.

Wagner was the sixth pick in the 2002 draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers after just one collegiate season at Memphis, but health problems prevented him from becoming a superstar. After averaging 13.4 points in 47 games as a rookie, Wagner’s second season in Mendo Continued from Page 6 finished with five kills. “In the first game we weren’t playing great,” Sbragia said. “But once we got warmed up and tuned in things started going right and we knew (Redwoods) didn’t Girls Continued from Page 6 tion in the third set. She knew what needed to be done, kept focused, and won the next two games to give her the win, and the team a win as well.” Other wins came at No. 3 singles, with Nikki Pardini defeating Rancho’s Nikki Hamlin, 6-1, 6-2. At No. 4 Cleveland was limited to 44 games and limited playing time after arthroscopic surgery on his right knee. He played just 11 games early in the 2004-05 season before his years of stomach pain were diagnosed as colitis, an inflammation of the colon. Wagner’s colon was removed last October, and he lost 30 pounds before returning to workouts this year. Several teams expressed interest in Wagner, who will join a backcourt in Golden State with Baron Davis, Jason Richardson and second-year pro Monta Ellis. singles, with Jena Mayfield winning in straight sets, 6-4, 6-2. Another victorious marathon match occurred at No. 2 doubles, where Wildcats Katy Wong and Simone Mata teamed up to beat Jolinda Tam and Stephanie Phan, 4-6, 6-3, 6-2.

But they switched it up for the touchdown, as Landry hit Allen in stride on a short slant for a 10yard score. It was by far Landry’s best-thrown ball of the night. “Terry Gruetzmacher had a terrific second half,” said Montana. “He’s been coming on strong. He’s been a little bit banged up so it’s good to see him back running the football.” The defense also produced a goal-line stand late in the game to keep Ukiah from hitting the 50-point mark, an achievement that was not lost on Montana. “I was proud of the guys,” Montana said. “It’s awfully hard to come out after halftime when you’re behind like that and continue to play hard. I was really happy with them.” The Loggers go on the road the next three weeks — starting with Lassen next Friday and ending with a big rematch with Del Norte — before playing Arcata in their homecoming game on Oct. 21. Ukiah opens its North Bay League schedule Friday at Rancho Cotate.

Eagles tie with SFCC The Daily Journal SAN FRANCISCO – The Mendocino College women’s soccer team played to its fourth tie of the season Friday in a 1-1 contest against San Francisco City College. Roxie Contreras scored the lone goal for the Eagles, unassisted, in the 50th minute. “I thought we played a solid game,” said Mendocino head coach Duncan McMartin. “It was a game, also, where we didn’t manage to get many shots on goal.” Amber Shepherd played goalkeeper for the Eagles, and Ukiah native and freshman Kadi Ott and Oceanea DeBisschop stood out on the defensive end for Mendocino (3-2-4). The Eagles return to action Tuesday, traveling to Eureka to take on College of the Redwoods. $5 Suggested Donation PRESENTS A complimentary pre-approval 102 S.

COMMUNITY BRIEFS Foster grandparents are making a difference Many seniors in the community are going back to school assisting in the classrooms with children who have special needs. The volunteers provide kind, un-hurried, one-on-one attention to children who may otherwise be lacking. The Foster Grandparents serve as an important intergenerational link to students who often do not have the luxury of having an older adult in their lives. This federal Program, which began in 1965, is administered by North Coast Opportunities. Senior volunteers typically spend 20 hours a week in the classroom and receive a tax-free stipend and travel reimbursement, that does not reduce any benefits the individual may be receiving.

SATURDAY, SEPT. 23, 2006 – 9 A little bit of this and that I have several topics to talk about this week- first of all my love of dance will be fulfilled. There is much opportunity to dance in Ukiah. Sunday afternoon dancing will be available on the first and third Sundays for the community. It is called a Community Tea Dance and they have swept the nation recently, but have been popular for years at senior centers. Therefore it is appropriate that the Ukiah Senior Center launch this great idea and have opened it up to the community. One of Ukiah’s most popular Disc Jockeys, “D.J.” Ken Steely will be the maestro of music for this afternoon affair. Ken’s repertoire is huge so the dance will range from ballroom, country western, line dancing, Latin, whatever your little heart desires. He played at my daughter’s wedding years ago, and has played for my church and he has it all, believe me. The first Community Tea Dance will be held on Sunday, Oct. 15th from 1 to 4 p.m. in Bartlett Hall at the Ukiah Senior Center on Leslie Street. Admission is just $5 and single men are half price! Now that is an offer a guy can hardly refuse! Obviously the organizers want to make sure there are plenty of partners for the dancers. Good thinking! A Dance contest and refreshments will add to your enjoyment, so show up or call Marie at 467-3919 for more information. Saturday evenings there is always a live band at the Senior Center for dancing 18 and up. Cost is $9 for nonmembers and $8 for members. If you would like to bring a platter of appetizers that would be appreciated but not necessary. This dance is also held in Bartlett Hall and starts at 7 p.m. You can call 4624343 for more information. The Sway Ballroom (aka Vedolla’s Dance Studio on Main St.) has a new October Community chatter By Kathy Davidson dance schedule for those who need to learn to dance or brush up their skills. Friday night lessons begin at 7 p.m. and will include Beginning West Coast Swing with the Intermediate level beginning at 8 p.m. For those of you who may not be familiar with this dance it is definitely an offshoot of the jitterbug, but very cool and I think easier to dance to. Call 468-1140 or go to mydanceteacher.com for the complete schedule. Eddie usually has a public dance one night a month that includes an hour of one free group lesson and the schedule should tell you when those occur. Don’t worry about a partner, it is handled very nicely with rotations at the lessons. Totally aside from dance, is a reminder that the Greater Ukiah Chamber of Commerce is having their second annual Golf Tournament on Oct. 6. Get a team of four together from your office, group of friends or family and join the fun. If you get a hole in one you will drive away with a new Buick Lucerne from Thurston’s Auto Plaza or win a weekend at the Little River Inn on the coast. There are other prizes too, such as restaurant meals, hotel stays, Konocti “Bucks” and gift certificates from the Ukiah Golf Course Pro Shop. Call the Chamber to register your team. 462-4705. My last unrelated topic is that I received a lot of response from my two part series on The Making of a Marine, the three-day experience in San Diego at the Marine Corps Recruiting Depot and the subsequent graduation of my grandson Jason into the Marine Corps. I have not been able to get this experience out of my mind probably because I have had no military exposure in my life to any family member other than my late brother Alan who was in the Navy, but I never saw him in his uniform so it had little impact on my psyche. Because of this I want to share an addendum of sorts to that story. I think what I am feeling is relief on many levels. Relief that Jason clearly has a direction for the first time in his life. His family life (divorced parents who argued during and after the marriage in front of him) was stormy. His sense of family was disoriented, staying sometimes with Dad, sometimes with Mom, both who did not like the other and said so. His two year stay with his grandparents was obviously a positive move. My relief comes with the fact that he has found another family in the Marines. One where the rules are very clear, he must obey them, he is part of a joint effort with the goal of success, and he is doing something important and necessary. The other relief is that after seeing these 600 plus recruits, plus knowing there are 2,000 others in training on the base and thousands more in bases all over the country in other branches of the service, I feel safer. I really do. I know that our Armed Services is the best in the world. I saw it with my own eyes and I feel so protected. I realize these are reactions that are mine only because of my visit and observation during my stay, but I wanted to share with you, my readers the aftermath of the experience.

The market is there for what you conceive and bring into fruition. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Although you might give generously to people who are less fortunate than you are, you might not be too bright about those you lavish your charity upon. They may not be worthy. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- There is a giant difference between genuine optimism and mere wishful thinking. An inability to distinguish between the two is asking for problems, espe- cially when you take on a bad risk. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -Disappointment is likely, especially when you expect more from others than you would if the circumstances were reversed. Try to be realistic and objective regarding what you request. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19) -- Remember everything is relative, so don’t be envious of someone you believe has everything that you can’t acquire.

Five years ago, when our youngest started kindergarten, I began to search for a job. I sent out numerous resumes, but was only given three interviews and wound up with a temporary sales position that ended three years ago. I took classes in resume writing and job interviewing, and began volunteering to build up a resume. Then, at my last interview, the interviewer remarked that it was extremely difficult to reach me and she had tried more than once. I was surprised to hear this. I check my messages several times a day. The funny thing is, I’ve also had friends tell me they’ve tried reaching me, without success. When I’ve confronted my husband about missing a message, he’ll say he forgot to tell me. Now I wonder how many potential employers might have tried to get in touch with me, only to have my husband “forget” to tell me. Annie, I think he is trying to sabotage me. ANNIE’S MAILBOX By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar About the time I wanted to go back to work, his car mysteriously broke down and he began using mine. Even when his was fixed, he continued to use mine. He argued that my car was more fuel-efficient and I didn’t need to be anywhere. He drove it until it stopped running. Now, I have no transportation. I walk to my volunteer job, but lately, it’s never convenient for my husband to stay with our children. Whatever hours I pick, he says he has to work. Everyone thinks my husband is terrific.

Tell him you need him to be more supportive. If there is no change, you may need some professional help to work on this -- with or without him. Dear Annie: My husband thinks it’s OK to leave our 5-year-old at home while he goes to the grocery store. The store is near our house, and my husband says our son is only home alone for about 10 minutes at a time. I’ve told my husband over and over not to do this, as it puts our son in danger. My husband insists, “He’ll be fine. It’s only a few minutes.” I work and am not around when my husband does this. How can I convince him to stop? -- Worried in Louisiana Dear Louisiana: This is called “child endangerment,” and it is against the law. Ten minutes is an eternity if your son gets into the medicine cabinet, starts a fire or chokes on food, and your husband is foolish to assume it won’t happen. The newspapers are filled with stories saying otherwise. If you can afford it, hire a baby sitter and say it’s the price your husband must pay for being an irresponsible father. If that’s not an option, tell him you will SUNDAY EVENING 6:00 6:30 7:00 9/24/06 7:30 8:00 ask a neighbor to keep an eye on your home, and if he leaves without your son, the police will be called. It’s extreme, but it may be the only way to get through to him. Dear Annie: I am replying to the pastor who feels unappreciated. Most people don’t realize that it is expected to give a stipend to the pastor, but after going through the funerals of both of my parents, I have learned a lot. Does the pastor have a church secretary? When we called to set up an appointment to see the priest, the secretary informed us of the cost. The organist and the lay people who helped out were paid as well. -- Lansing, Mich. Dear Lansing: A secretary can be quite helpful, not only to discuss costs, but also to allow the clergyperson to avoid the embarrassment of asking for a fee directly.

At the time, the governor called the bill “unnecessary” and said it “could result in the unintended consequences of additional roadway hazards” by causing unnecessary lane changes. In the past five years, errant drivers have killed a dozen police and state road workers. Since 1924, nearly 200 have been killed. In Florida, a law enacted in 2002 is promoted on billboards and electronic signs, and troopers hand out pamphlets explaining it. No officers have been killed by errant drivers since it took effect. In response to the increased fire risk associated with this weather forecast, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection is warning Californians that conditions are still ripe for a wildland fire. “There is a lot of dead vegetation that is extremely dry,” CDF Director Ruben Grijalva said. “Dry north winds increase the chance of a spark igniting a major fire.” Or as local CDF Capt. Mike Hamilton put it: “Be really careful in the outdoors. A little fire, under these conditions, can take off and get out of control in a hurry. People should exercise caution any- way, but especially in these wind events. Oftentimes, people will want to put out fires themselves, but if you come across one of these (wind-driven fires), be really cautious, because the fire behavior can get extreme, really quickly. ... It can get really ugly, really fast.” CDF units throughout the state are placing additional firefighters on duty, staffing more fire engines and keeping bulldozers ready 24 hours a day. “In Mendocino County, we are staffing all of our available dozers 24 hours a day, all of our crews 24 hours a day, and we have augmented one extra firefighter per fire engine,” Hamilton said, noting that normally the local unit has two dozers -- as opposed to four -- on around the clock. “Also all of our aircraft are at what we call ‘early-up status,’ meaning we staff them ready to fly at 8 a.m.,” he said. “Normally, it’s 10 a.m. ’cause that is generally the peak burning period.” Increased staffing will continue until the high winds subside, which at this point is estimated to be after 5 p.m. today, according to Hamilton. “This is a north wind event, and for Northern California, it’s the same as the Santa Ana wind event in Southern California,” he said, noting this type of weather pattern, this time of year, is pretty typical. “This time of year, you get high pressure over the Northeastern Pacific, which draws air in from the interior where the air mass is dry, land-based air, as opposed to our normal air weather pattern, which is moist ocean air,” Hamilton said. During what CDF describes as a “high danger time,” people are asked to take extra precautions. For example, mowing and electric/motorized weeding should be done before 10 a.m. or after 6 p.m.; cigarette butts need to be properly extin- NOYO THEATRE guished; and all homes and businesses in wildfire-susceptible areas are required to have 100 feet of defensible space around structures.
