UKIAH CITY COUNCIL
Election
finance
debated
at length
By SETH FREEDLAND
The Daily Journal
A protracted debate on the
merits of campaign finance
reform expanded to potentially infinite limits Wednesday
night before the Ukiah City
Council returned the topic to
a two-member subcommittee
for further refinement.
During the occasionally
testy discussion, a majority of
the board indicated support
for some form of a local campaign finance overhaul, with a
$100 limit on contributions as
a potential feature. But the
debate largely centered,
instead, on the methodology
of making the decision itself.
Mayor
Mark Ashiku
slammed the subcommittee,
composed of Council members Mari Rodin and Phil
Baldwin, for not providing
scientific proof to support the
notion that campaign finance
reform was necessary in
Ukiah. The paperwork provided -- a memo with the proposed ordinance and a fourpage, pro-campaign reform
essay -- made it impossible
for the council to determine a
perspective’s validity, he said.
“When government fails it
is when it makes a decision
without evidence to support
the claim they make,” Ashiku
said. “You did not include any
studies that supported one
position or another. You
promised to bring back evidence, but ... you haven’t
found causation.”
Rodin responded by noting
she “didn’t think we were
doing a scientific study -- it’s
a proposal of an ordinance”
and suggested a straw poll to
determine who would want to
take part in the discussion.
The issue at hand is not a matter of providing studies or
evidence, she said, but it is a
political issue should one
believe a potential problem
exists. Any council member
who does not accept such a
possibility need not take part
in the debate, Rodin said.
Public works projects are
frequently approved without
scientific
analysis,
Councilmember Phil Baldwin
added.
But Ashiku fundamentally
disagreed with their take, say-

City golf pro bidding process to be repeated
By SETH FREEDLAND
The Daily Journal
An eleventh-hour development forced a seemingly slamdunk decision into an hourslong debate Wednesday night,
as the Ukiah City Council narrowly voted against the leading
candidate to provide the city’s
golf professional services.
Tayman Park Golf Group, a
Sonoma County-based golf pro
services group, received the
highest rating from all levels of
the bidding process but was not
offered a contract. Despite that
“superior” rating, chosen independently of other applicants,
Mayor Mark Ashiku and
Councilmembers
John
McCowen and Doug Crane
favored rejecting all bids
received and reissuing the
request for proposals.
The unusual move stemmed
from the withdrawal of a bid
from the current golf pro, Jeff
McMillen, hours before the
meeting. McMillen, who was
the second leading candidate
for his current job, later said he
pulled his contract from consideration because he “didn’t
feel (he) was treated fairly.”
Local golf aficionados
informed councilmembers that
McMillen’s withdrawal would
increase the pool of applicants
-- which, numbering three, they
considered weak -- because of
an unwritten ethical code within the Professional Golf
Association membership. Any
job currently held by a PGA
member is unofficially off-limits for others to solicit as a matter of courtesy, they asserted.
While

CHALLENGE DAY AT UKIAH HIGH SCHOOL
By LAURA CLARK
The Daily Journal
It was all fun and games
Thursday morning at Ukiah High
School for youth and adult volunteers participating in Challenge
Day, but by the afternoon they’d
be engulfed in some serious conversations.
Challenge Day -- a national
program designed to teach effective means for ending teen violence and isolation by providing a
compassionate approach for dealing with social oppression in
schools, families and communities
-- “is a powerful, non-threatening,
transformational day that can
change the way people view each
other forever,” said Kristin Frith,
Ukiah Valley Circle of Change cochair and Challenge Day coordinator at Ukiah High School.
“The games and the energy and
the moving around -- and even the
music -- gets people feeling comfortable and connected,” Frith
said, as 100-plus students -- and
some adults -- danced around to
music blaring from a speaker
inside the gymnasium.
As does hugging.
“We believe everybody needs
three things a day to survive: food,
water and hugs,” Challenge Day
facilitator Jyoti Subramanian told
the crowd now sitting in a circle
around her. “We develop better
mentally, spiritually and physically with human contact. ... I do
think that part of us, if we don’t
get that attachment, will start to
wither away and die.
“I don’t want to live in a world
full of fear; I want to live in a
world full of love,” Subramanian
said loudly into her microphone,
before calling another facilitator
and a volunteer from the audience
to demonstrate various types of
“not real hugs” and eventually, a
“real hug.”
Challenge Day attendees also
played “The Different Game,”
which involved participants finding a partner who possessed a different quality than they did -- for
example, someone of a different
race, hair color, etc. -- and then
asking each other questions like,
‘I don’t want to
live in a world
full of fear;
I want to live
in a world
full of love.’

4 coast men arrested in rape, assault case
E XC AVAT I O N
FORT BRAGG -- An early morning
rape apparently led to another assault and
arrests for drug possession and illegal
firearms in Fort Bragg Wednesday.
At 12:28 p.m. Wednesday, an unidentified 22-year-old woman from Fort
Bragg reported she had been raped by
longtime acquaintance Patrick Samuel
Hinkson, 46, of Fort Bragg, who she has
known for eight years.
The victim said she had met Hinkson
in a local bar Tuesday evening. She said
she didn’t remember the night but awoke
Wednesday morning to Hinkson having
intercourse with her.
Hinkson was questioned, and told officers the sex was consensual, according to
the police report. He was arrested on suspicion of raping an unconscious person
and is being held on $100,000 bail.
Earlier in the day, Fort Bragg police
officers had responded to a call of assault

U.N. chief says U.S. should close prison
at Guantanamo Bay as soon as possible
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Secretary-General Kofi Annan
on Thursday said the United States should close the prison at
Guantanamo Bay for terror suspects as soon as possible, backing a key conclusion of a U.N.-appointed independent panel.
White House spokesman Scott McClellan rejected the call to
shut the camp, saying the military treats all detainees humanely and “these are dangerous terrorists that we’re talking about.”
The panel’s report, released Thursday in Geneva, said the
United States must close the detention facility “without further
delay” because it is effectively a torture camp where prisoners
have no access to justice. Annan told reporters he didn’t necessarily agree with everything in the report, but he did support its
opposition to people being held “in perpetuity” without being
charged and prosecuted in a public court. This is “something
that is common under every legal system,” he said.
COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Consumer boycotts of
Danish goods in Muslim countries in protest of the publication
of caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad are costing Denmark’s
companies millions, and have raised fears of irreparable damage to trade ties.
From Havarti cheese to Lego toys, Danish products have
been yanked off the shelves of stores in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait
and other countries around the Middle East as Muslims await an
apology for the cartoons, which the Copenhagen government
has said it cannot give. The boycotts have also spawned
counter-boycott campaigns to “Buy Danish.”
The boycotts began in Saudi Arabia on Jan. 26 when supermarkets either put up signs saying to stop buying Danish goods
or removed products from shelves. Since then it has spread to
other Muslim nations, and even to Western stores doing business there. A supermarket in Cairo run by France’s Carrefour
has had signs, for example, saying that it is not offering Danish
products “in solidarity with Muslims and Egyptians.”
Iraqi authorities investigate claims of
‘death squads’ targeting Sunni Arabs
Greenland’s glaciers dumping
more ice into Atlantic Ocean
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) — The Shiite-dominated Interior
Ministry announced an investigation Thursday into claims of
death squads in its ranks as police found a dozen more bodies,
bringing the number of apparent victims of sectarian reprisal
killings here to at least 30 this week.
The probe was announced after U.S. military officials indicated there was evidence to support the allegation of death
squads. The 12 men found on Thursday had been bound and
shot in the head execution-style.
At least 27 other people were killed in violence across Iraq,
including three tribal sheiks slain in a drive-by shooting. Three
supporters of anti-U.S. cleric Muqtada al-Sadr died in a mortar
barrage, and gunmen killed two owners of a convenience store
that sold beer. Islamic extremists often target shops selling alcohol or DVDs deemed pornographic.
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Warmer temperatures over the past
decade have sped up the march of Greenland’s southern glaciers to the Atlantic Ocean, where the ice and water they spill
contribute more to the global rise in sea levels than previously
thought.
Those faster-moving glaciers now dump in a year twice as
much ice into the Atlantic as they did in 1996, researchers said
Thursday. The resulting icebergs, along with increased melting
of Greenland’s ice sheet, could account for nearly 17 percent of
the estimated one-tenth of an inch annual rise in global sea levels, or twice what was previously believed, said Eric Rignot of
NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.
“It’s likely that Greenland is going to contribute more and
faster to rising sea levels than previously estimated,” Rignot
told reporters at the annual meeting of the American
Association for the Advancement of Science. A report by
Rignot and Pannir Kanagaratnam of the University of Kansas
appears Friday in the journal Science.
Muslim boycotts of Danish products
costing companies millions
Haiti’s new leader must now
turn expectations to reality
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — Singing, dancing and
waving branches ripped from roadside trees, jubilant Haitians
poured into the streets Thursday after a vote marred by fraud
charges and massive protests ended in victory for the favored
presidential candidate of the impoverished majority.
“Now we have hope,” said Dabual Jean, a 24-year-old who
earns about $2 a day selling fruit on the street in the capital,
Port-au-Prince. “The country is upside down. With Preval,
hopefully we’ll get on the right path.
Rene Preval, an agronomist and former president, made no
public appearances Thursday, in keeping with his virtual silence
as a days-long, roller-coaster vote count roiled the poorest
country in the Western Hemisphere.
“We have won. We thank God and the population,” Preval
told the Haitian Press Agency in his only public statement. “We
British man accused of killing wife
and infant daughter back in Boston
FRAMINGHAM, Mass. (AP) — Neil Entwistle pleaded not
guilty Thursday to murder charges and was jailed without bail
in the killings of his wife and baby daughter, who were found
shot to death in bed at the couple’s suburban Boston home.
The crush of media slowed traffic outside the courthouse,
and a passing motorist yelled out: “Burn that baby killer!”
Entwistle, 27, kept his head bowed as officers led him into
the building wearing shackles and a bulletproof vest. He was
ordered held without bail pending a hearing March 15.
He is charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the
deaths of his wife, Rachel, 27, and their 9-month-old daughter
Lillian, killed in their home in Hopkinton on Jan. 20.

Korhummel identified himself to
police and told them there were other
people in the house. Officers entered the
house, and found Eder and Robert ‘Chris’
Runnfeldt, 22, of Fort Bragg. Hickson
identified the three as the men who
assaulted him.
Officers also found a white powder
later identified as illegal narcotics, and a
pistol-grip shotgun with an illegally
shortened barrel, Higdon said.
Eder and Runnfeldt were arrested on
suspicion of assault with intent to cause
great bodily harm; Korhummel was additionally arrested on suspicion of possession of a controlled substance with intent
to sell and possession of a dangerous
firearm.
Eder and Runnfeldt are being held on

The victim, Hinkson, said he had been

Hinkson was struck several times on

Higdon said the assault on Hinkson

colorful title, “Ain’t Noth’n

saying, which you will find on

Ruby, established the permanent scholarship fund through
their estate. The executor of
the estate is Bill Bailey, who

Reading their biographies, as

Jack and Ruby did not have
children of their own, but
opened their hearts and home
to at least one young man. Bill
Bailey recalls, “Over the
years, I spent a lot of time
with the Terwilligers. Jack’s
wife, Ruby, especially liked
me and she, in some ways
became like a second mother
to me. The loss of my mother
was especially hard for me
and at an early age, I got into
quite a bit of trouble.When I
did get in trouble, and Jack
and Ruby heard about it, they
always forgave me and urged
me to work hard at advancing
myself.”
Now, with this scholarship,
the Terwilliger’s legacy is to
continue to offer hope and
encouragement to young people from the Laytonville area.
Bill Bailey writes in a letter to
applicants to the “Ain’t
Noth’n Ever Been Got That
Ain’t Been Went Out After”
scholarship: “The reason this
is such a wonderful title for a
scholarship, is that is you have
dreams to go out and do
something..you need to know
that you shouldn’t sit on your
hands or stand around and
wait for something to occur,
because things don’t “happen” that way.”

14th annual Renaissance Dinner
Working together to make music and money
By CAROLE HESTER
Special for the Journal
Hard work is nothing
new to musicians. They
spend years working on a
degree, practicing their
craft to hone it to a fine
perfection, only to go into
the work force and do
“piece work.”
Yes, that’s one term for
working several jobs just
to make ends meet. But
that’s the down side. The
up side is that artists following their muse get to
work their entire lives at
something they love.
For Denise Doering,
Ukiah High School’s new
Choral Music Director,
teaching has been a main
stay through the years.
“This is my 23rd year
of teaching high school
choral programs having
taught in Mountain View,
California, as well as
Spokane and Seattle,
Washington,” explained
Doering. “I have been
blessed to teach many talented high school students
throughout the years who
have won many awards at
contests and festivals. I
feel that Ukiah High
School students are proving to be just as talented
and capable.”
She earned her BA at
San Jose State and her
Masters in music education at the University of
Washington in Seattle. She
has also been teaching
voice classes part-time at
Mendocino College for the
last seven years.
As is true with most
music teachers, Doering
even adds more music into
her life. Currently she is
singing with the vocal
group “Hesperia” specializing in Renaissance and
Medieval music.
Part of her responsibilities at the high school
involves fundraising to
keep her program alive.
The Renaissance affair
will be held Saturday,
March 11 at 7:30 p.m. at
Ukiah High Cafetorium,
which will be transformed
into a medieval castle. Bar
maids and milk maids,
cobblers and wenches are all part of the festive
14th Annual Renaissance
Dinner.
This annual event
involves many from the
community as well, since
parents volunteer, businesses donate, and others
interested in keeping Arts
alive in the school system
volunteer services or
goods. In full period costume, 55 students are
involved in the music,
dances and small plays
that will be performed.
The Beginning Women’s
Chorus, the Advanced
Denise Doering, Ukiah High School’s new Choral Music Director, has been
teaching for 23 years. She's busy helping students prepare for the festive
14th annual Renaissance Dinner, a major fundraiser for the school choral
department, held Saturday, March 11 at 7:30 p.m. at Ukiah High Cafetorium.
Women’s Chorus, and the
Performing Arts are the
three choirs participating
in this important fundraiser.
“Students are involved
in practically every facet
of this dinner,” explained
Doering. “Of course, this
would not be possible
without the help of the
parents and community.”
Some major responsibilities held by students:
There is a choir council of
student representatives
selected by their peers in
the Performing Arts Choir.
The students are: Chelsea
Moore, president of the
choir program, who has
vast experience with the
Renaissance Dinner and is
handling many aspects of
the dinner including overseeing all the committees,
the costumes, decorations,
table settings, and will be
in the cast as well as the
Scottish lass who is being
betrothed to Ian
Parmenter, the English
lord.
Garrett Gilmore, is vice
president, and assisting
with the huge task of
assembling the sets.
Tiffany Leloup and
Alanna Lang Nadel are
assisting with costumes
and the booth store.
Alanna is also choreographing a large group
dance.
Mary Slinkert, assisted
by Alexa Prax and Kaylee
Aguilar are facilitating the
huge task of decorating.
Aguilar, Public
Relations, is also handling
the lay out and design of
the flyers. Melissa
Dunham is managing the
booth store.
“The cooking will be
done once again by the
marvelous culinary talents
of Jeremy Mann, Phil
Gary, and Marty
Lombardi,” added
Doering.
“Costumes have been
sewn by Renee Gannon
and provided in part by
the Ukiah Players Theater
and Linda Sauer and
Renee Coburn. Susan
Wilcox is helping with
choreography. Heidi
Dunham and Lucia
Parmenter are helping
organize decorations and
other parent assistance.
Liz Ohleyer and Marcella
Chandler are doing an
incredible job with pulling
together the silent auction
items.”
So far they have
acquired 50 items, some
of which include a pair of
tickets to the San
Francisco opera, a flight
over Mendocino County,
an assortment of wines,
and two Hoyman and
Browe ceramics. Ross
Beck is coordinating the
set assemblance with the
assistance of some choir
parents.
The rehearsal accompanist as well as harpsichordist the evening of the
performance is Carol
Lorenz. In true
Renaissance style, the
singing will be a ‘capella.
Lorenz will provide predinner musical enjoyment
as well as segue music
between staged activities.
“Carol Lorenz is a total
asset to the choral program facilitating the ticket
sales and many other
behind the scenes tasks
too numerous to mention,”
praised Doering.
“Night of Nuptials,”
will truly portray 16th
century England with a bit
of a Scottish theme. There
are songs, dances and
duels and mostly the fun
of watching students sing
with robust joy.
This evening of entertainment cost is $35 per
person and full tables of
six are available for $180.
Carol Lorenz is assisting
the Choral Music Director,
Denise Doering, and
Lorenz may be reached at
the high school at 4635253, ext. 1040. Also
assisting with ticket sales
is Kitty Britton at 4635253, ext. 1044. Tickets
are now on sale. Mail
checks payable to Ukiah
High School to: Attn.:

be requested ahead of
time. Please contact
Lorenz to reserve vegetarian meals by calling 4635253, ext. 1040.
Since the return to the
Ukiah High Cafetorium,
the dinner has been a
tobacco and alcohol free
activity.

Flood recurrence frequency of the Dec. 30 storm
On Dec. 30, rivers and
streams rose and spilled over
their banks and already saturated soil moved. Ken
Montgomery, proprietor of
the Anderson Valley Nursery,
recorded 7.58 inches of rain
fell between 9 a.m. on the
30th and 9 a.m. on the 31st
and 27.46 inches fell during
the month of December.
According to Ken, December
2005 was the wettest
December in at least 70
years, and the second wettest
month in at least 70 years.
Ken reports that even more
stunning than the record setting monthly total is that the
27.46 inches fell in the last
two weeks, in fact it was one
of the driest Decembers until
Dec. 17.
On the 31st it was dry
enough to get out and see
what the high water left
behind or had taken away.
Silt and water were left
behind in homes and structures that were flooded by
the Russian and Navarro
Rivers. Soil, trees, logs and
lumber were taken by the
Tree Tips
By Thembi Borras
river and deposited downstream. The North Fork
Navarro River tried to take a
nearby cabin; it lifted it off
its post and pier foundation
and carried it downstream as
far as the electrical ground
wire would allow.
A woman I met in the
aftermath of her Oak Manor
home having been flooded
said the home had not flooded in the 30 years that she
lived in the subdivision.
Therefore, based on anecdotal evidence, the flood flow
had not been as high as on
Dec. 30 in 30 years at the
Oak Manor site.
Determining how frequently the flood flow associated with the Dec. 30
storm might be expected to
happen is not simple. It is a
function of the historical
data available in a specific
geographic area. The United
States Geological Survey
gage on the mainstem
Navarro, located 5.3 miles
upstream from the mouth,
has been in operation for the
last 54 years providing discharge data. On the morning
of Dec. 31, this gage recorded the peak discharge of
55,700 cubic feet-per-second, using this data in the
Gumbel method the flood
recurrence frequency was
estimated to be 25 years. The
Gumbel method is considered a quick and dirty way to
estimate the flood recurrence
frequency using peak annual
discharges. The prediction
becomes better the more
years data is collected. The
flood recurrence frequency
of the Dec. 30 flood in
watersheds in the Fort Bragg
area was thought to be lower
and in watersheds in Sonoma
County thought to be much
higher.
A portion of this production was gleaned from communication with Dennis
Slota, Hydrologist at the
Mendocino County Water
Agency.
Last week I suggested
when pruning trees to
“Avoid “flush cuts” which
remove the branch bark collar.” Kevin O’Hara,
Professor of Silviculture at
UC Berkeley sends this correction, flush cuts actually
reduce the time for pruning
wound occlusion and
increase the production of
clear wood.
I welcome responses as
well as ideas for future Tree
Tips. You can also get an
email version by contacting
me at [email protected].

Heads up
To the Editor:
I’m a sophomore at Ukiah High. I have
gone through many difficulties in my life.
I have lost my best friend (David Talamo),
numerous other friends, and between
October and today, lost three family members. I still lead a normal life, happy,
spunky and sassy. I’m on my school’s
cheer squad. I have many friends, and I
love them all. I am also of a different ethnicity. I am white and East Indian (yes,
from India). My family is very, as I say,
colorful. I have Japanese, Mexican, white,
black, Italian, Asian and more in my family.
But a lot of my peers don’t know my
dad is half East Indian, they just assume
I’m white. I’ve heard racial comments;
Habib, towel head, but nothing horrible.
Then, last year, a young Muslim girl transferred to our school. All hell broke loose.
All you heard about was “that Muslim
girl.” Racial remarks were brought up,
that’s when I snapped. Someone called her
a “Third World Asian.” Not OK. Because
we are “closely” related (ethnicity wise) it
hurt me. Why don’t people say that to me?
Because I’m white? I hate to say it, but
probably.
Now we have “that Jewish girl” going
to our school. I’m not Jewish, but still,
what is going on? I can’t believe this. That
poor girl probably cries herself to sleep at
night. What kind of monster writes death
threats to someone? I’ll tell you, a sick
teenager, who thinks anyone like him is
better then everyone. Hmmmm ... Who
does that remind you of? I just think that
before you criticize someone you should
learn their names and a little bit about
them. I don’t think that she, the Muslim
girl, or anyone should be afraid to go anywhere because of immature teenagers.
So girls keep your heads up and smile.
I think you are very brave and I completely admire you.

Not sick
To the Editor:
Calling mentally challenged individuals
sick or diseased is what has caused them
to suffer form the shunning of society as a
whole. I do not care how many years
spent or poems written about it, it is a
tragedy to continue to say they are sick or
diseased.
I am very familiar with schizophrenia
and it has never been classified as a sickness or a disease. It is an impairment of
encoding and retrieval synapses of the
brain. There are three models for determining the effect of schizophrenia: cognitive, perceptual, interpersonal.
Deficits and disorganization as measured by the schizptypal personality questionnaire used in the field of psychiatry or
(SPQ). If you score low on an IQ test are
you sick or diseased? Bipolar disorder is
a (manic depressive) mood disorder.
We all have our “bad” days but those
suffering from bipolar disorders have
mood swings that go from euphoric to suicidal in a short span of time. Many
famous artists in music and painting have
suffered from bipolar disorders and it has
been trivialized as being a part of their
genius when it has been a terrible monster
for them to deal with and has nothing to
do with their genius at their art.
There are psychotropic drugs that have
helped mitigate the effects of these disorders. There is also ongoing discussions
concerning the side effects of these drugs.
I have heard both of these “conditions”
described as “diseases” and that is just
tragic. A sickness or disease can be cured.
These disorders can be only treated, never
can they be cured. ”Mental illness” is used
to describe the entire field of challenges
faced by these vital, valuable people. It,
by no means, was ever to be construed
that those effected are diseased or sick.

Return to dereg?
Evidence is against it
It's a pet idea of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and
his new chief of staff, Susan Kennedy: Return electricity deregulation to California, and this time do it right.
Their thinking goes like this: The discredited 1996
deregulation plan was sheer foolishness and an invitation to disaster because it tried to combine price limits
with total freedom for generating companies to milk
the market for whatever they could get. Rather, they
believe, the generators should be given free rein without any limits on what they can charge. Theirs is classical laissez faire thinking.
But the continuing fallout from the energy crisis of
2000-2001 provides a spate of evidence that any return
to deregulation would be an invitation to a future disaster of at least similar scope to the one of five and six
years ago, when rolling blackouts became regular
occurrences.

Slow on the draw
By now, surely all the
jokes about Vice President
Dick Cheney's accidental
shooting of his hunting
buddy have been told.
Beyond the funny factor,
there's the serious concern
about the health of the victim,
lawyer
Harry
Whittington, and about public response to emergencies
from the White House.
The accident on a Texas
ranch happened on Saturday.
It wasn't revealed until
Sunday - and then because
the rancher called a local
paper with information. A
White House spokesman
grudgingly acknowledged
the mishap some 22 hours
after it happened but never
did come completely clean
about the delay and was still
hemming and hawing on
Monday.
If this modus operandi
sounds familiar, it's because
the Bush administration is
currently facing harsh criticism by a Republican House
panel over the delay in
acknowledging Hurricane
Katrina's devastation.
In these days of 24-hour
news cycles, our leaders
don't have the luxury of sitting on breaking stories until
they can figure out the best
spin, which all too often
appears to be the first and
foremost consideration at
the Bush White House. It
would have served those in
the White House to have
taken control of the shooting
story - the Hurricane Katrina
response, too - before the
stories took control of the
White House.
Cheney's
accidental
shooting further damaged
the administration's credibility at a time it's under fire for
being slow on the draw.

State stem cell panel
builds trust
The California Institute
for Regenerative Medicine,
the agency set up under
Proposition 71 to oversee a
$3 billion stem cell research
effort, has been roundly and
rightly criticized for its lessthan-open operations.
That, combined with a
lack of government oversight, has led to lawsuits
which so far have prevented
the agency from beginning
its work toward finding
cures for degenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's
disease, spinal cord injuries,
severe burns and Parkinson's
disease.
But at a meeting at
Stanford University on
Friday, the 28-member
CIRM board went a long
way toward helping to build
public trust by adopting
sound policies in two critical
areas.
During the campaign for
Proposition 71 in 2004, proponents promised that when
and if taxpayer-funded
research generated marketable products, the public
would benefit. The oversight
committee appeared to have
been looking at a more flex-
ible standard, but in the end
it adopted the more clearly
defined policy.
The second policy area
concerns covering expenses
for women who donate eggs
for stem cell research.
Scientists use eggs to grow
stem cells, and most that can
be used outside federal funding restrictions are obtained
from those left over from in
vitro fertilization efforts.
Some critics claim this
research amounts to the taking of a life. What oversight
committee members were
trying to avoid was providing any kind of financial
incentive for women to
donate eggs. The policies
adopted would prohibit any
form of payment, except for
expenses incurred, including
medical expenses if complications occur.
Since Proposition 71 prohibits legislative oversight
for the first three years of the
institute's existence, taxpayers must depend on the private oversight committee to
do what is in the best interests of research and taxpayers. A lawsuit challenging
the independence of the
institute will be heard later
this month. The lawsuit
effectively denies research
funding for the institute until
the case is settled.
In the meantime, the institute's oversight board must
work to make sure the rules
under which the research is
conducted are clear, fair and,
most of all, morally and ethically sound.

The two latest pieces of the puzzle: 1) Houstonbased Reliant Resources agreed to settle market
manipulation charges from the crisis for more than
$500 million, bringing the total in fines and settlements against generators above $5 billion. That begins
to approach the $9 billion ex-Gov. Gray Davis often
said was stolen from Californians by electric companies. And 2) Calpine Corp., the San Jose-based generating giant whose stock soared during the crisis,
declared bankruptcy and begged a federal judge to
allow cancellation of contracts that provide a large part
of California's power.
The Reliant settlement puts that firm in the same
league with Enron, Mirant, Duke Power and the
Williams Companies, all out of state firms that have
settled claims they bilked Californians when they had
the chance. No one asserts human nature has changed
since 2001, so deregulating further than today's ad hoc
mishmash of regulation and price freedom promises to
invite a new spate of cheating.
The Calpine bankruptcy, meanwhile, provides firm
evidence that deregulation cannot be done without
great risk to electric customers. For Calpine, which
operates 41 generating plants in California and supplies power to Pacific Gas & Electric, the Southern
California Edison Co. and the Northern California
Power Agency, now says it can't live with the contracts
it extracted from this state in 2001.
But remember, critics lambasted Davis for paying
far too much in his effort to secure reliable power supplies for the state from Calpine and others, and he was
recalled. Ironically, Calpine now says the very pacts
that helped destroy Davis are now killing it. The company claims it loses almost $1.3 billion a year on those
contracts.
Of course, that's not actual loss. The big number is
derived from what Calpine thinks it could get for the
same power - profit and all - if the rates factored in
today's natural gas prices, which are far higher than
what prevailed five years ago. On the other hand, with
a decline in domestic natural gas prices likely as the
after-effects of Hurricane Katrina wane, the putative
loss figures could change quickly.
All of which demonstrates the idiocy of deregulation. The success of any deregulated company depends
on wise and foresightful management. Plainly, Calpine
lacked such managers when it signed rigid contracts
assuming fuel prices would remain constant in a world
of consistent inconstancy.
If electricity had remained regulated, on the other
hand, Calpine could not have bought up many power
plants it now owns. The firm would never have signed
the contracts on which its loss claims are based. It
would not have borrowed hundreds of millions of dollars to finance construction of new power plants
around the nation.
Rather, most power would still be generated by
PG&E, Edison and other utilities and they would be
getting rates that guarantee substantial profits. The prederegulation standard was about 14 percent per year.
They would be able to tack sudden rises in natural gas
costs onto their standard rates, and roll those rises back
when natural gas costs recede.
Regulated electricity, then, is a far more stable and
reliable commodity than the deregulated variety. And
if power is as much a public need as roads - and it is there's good reason to want it regulated by state government. For such regulation removes from the equation the kind of poor planning that's led to disaster for
Calpine.
All of which should give both the public and the
Legislature good cause to think long and hard before
going along with whatever new deregulation scheme
the governor or his backers may devise.

Monsters can be fun
Remember the old song that
was a huge hit in the ‘50s call
“Monster Mash?” The guy
who sang it sounded like Boris
Karloff -- the greatest
Frankenstein to hit the big
screen, and a funky kind of
dance even evolved from it.
Those were the days… but that
was another column.
Well, as they say… “He’s
baaaaaaack!” The theme of
this year’s favorite big event,
Mardi Gras, is Monster Mash.
Start digging in the closet,
place your order from
Incognito or order online for a
costume so that you will be
ugly, scary, goofy, weird or
strange enough to fit in with
the other strange “beings”
gathering for Mardi Gras. Of
course if you want to just come
in jeans, or dress in cocktail
attire, that is OK too, but it
adds to the fun to just take the
risk.
This year is the 37th year
for the Mardi Gras which is the
major fundraiser for St. Mary’s
School. It is how they keep
overhead, supplies, activities
and curriculum covered for the
year to keep costs affordable
for the parents of the students
attending.
The parents are totally
involved in Mardi Gras -- they
work endless hours at the event
itself, and the planning begins
almost immediately after the
previous year’s event. The task
is enormous and takes a year to
make it better than the year
before. Every year, somehow,
they seem to top themselves
and Mardi Gras just gets better
and better.
Picture this: When you walk
into Carl Purdy Hall the Friday
night of Mardi Gras you are
transported into a different
world. I don’t know how they
do it, but they make that plain
big old hall look fabulous!
There are gaming tables just
like in the casinos, great smells
from the kitchen and wonderful music provided by DJ
Larry Thompson.
Your $30 per person (21 and
up only) covers a top notch
meal provided by Five Star
Catering -- Catch some of the
menu: Axe Slayer barbecue Tri
Tip, Monster Mash Potatoes,
Haunting Ghouls Vegetables…
well, you get the idea.
So much is happening
(some simultaneously) that
there is an actual schedule --
Community chatter
By Kathy Davidson
gaming tables (your ticket
gives a stake of “funny
money” to play with. You can
buy more if you need it. You
turn in your winnings for great
gifts.) silent auction, wine auction, dining, and no host bar. It
is a full evening in a very gala
environment, not only in decorations, but in attitude.
Then Saturday miraculously
the hall is transformed from
the Mardi Gras party to the
Family Fair (aka a carnival)
complete with balloon darts,
ring tosses, Dessert Derby
(great homemade goodies for
sale), popcorn, cotton candy,
beer, wine, soda, and more.
Most of the decorations are
still there, which keeps the
atmosphere light. Outside are
jump houses, a dunk tank and
other fun stuff for the kids to
be entertained by.
The spirit from the night
before is still there because one
end of the hall is filled with
fabulous auction items. So
many so that when you enter
you will get a list of the items
so you can study what you
want to bid on. You can bid on
car detailing, TVs, electronic
goodies, hardware items, beauty products, auto repairs, and
all manner of usable services
and products. Something for
everyone. Here are some of the
exceptional ones: One week in
Palm Springs, Barrel of wine
from
Mendocino
Wine
Group/Parducci, use of a vacation home on the coast and the
biggee -- Orthodontist Dr.
Green is donating braces worth
thousands of dollars (that is a
timed item at 2 p.m.).
The children in each grade
come up on stage with a huge
compilation of a “themed”
auction item and stand up there
proudly to help get the most
for their item. One example
would be a garden theme and
may be in a wheelbarrow, with
a rose bush, and 15 or 20 items
relating to gardening. It is
amazing how the room comes
alive. That’s what makes
Mardi Gras so special. It is for
the kids and it is for our future.
A big money-maker for the
school is the Truck Raffle.
Thurston Auto Plaza is donating a 2006 Toyota Tacoma
pickup at cost. Tickets are $20
but there are only so many sold
so the odds are great. You pay
the sales tax and licensing fees
only. Someone has to win, it
may be you. Lots of people are
selling the tickets, but for
Mardi Gras or raffle tickets or
any other questions about this
extraordinary event, call the
school at 462-3888.
John Bogner (a St. Mary’s
alumni) will help with the auction, and Rex Williams (a former Potter Valley boy and professional auctioneer) will be
running the show along with
many spotters. They have done
this for years, and it is done
well and also provides a great
show for the crowd.
El Azteca is providing the
food with a great menu and the
line is worth waiting for.
Reasonable prices and tasty,
tasty, tasty. It is going to be
fun, believe me. So join in on
the fun, catch the spirit, and
support a great local school.
Mardi Gras dates are later
this year: Saturday, Feb. 25, 6
p.m. to 12:30 am. (Adults 21+
only), and Sunday, Feb. 26 10
a.m. to 5 p.m. (all ages) all held
in Carl Purdy Hall at the
Fairgrounds. Don’t miss these
two days of total entertainment
and support St. Mary’s School.
I also want to thank my
readers for the overwhelming
response to my “Pardon My
Nostalgia” series. I have never
received so many cards and
comments on any column in
the past 28 years of writing
columns. I guess it struck a
chord with many, and I so
appreciate knowing that. I
makes me feel like I am not
alone in these thoughts and am
assured that I am reaching a
kindred ear and spirit.
Remember, Out of the Mud,
Grows the Lotus.

“We started talking about doing
this about 25 years ago,” said
Mendocino athletic director Skip
Hunter. “The problem is, somebody’s got to do it. My thinking
was that now that I was athletic
director, we’d try. I’m getting
close to retirement and this is
something that means a lot to
me.”
Hunter has been affiliated with
the college since its inception in
1973, starting off as baseball
coach, then moving to softball,
and then into his current position
as athletic director.
The inaugural group of
inductees will also be recognized
at halftime of tonight’s men’s basketball game at Mendocino
College between the Eagles and
Los Medanos College. The game
is scheduled for a 7:30 p.m. start.
The men’s game will be preceded by a women’s game against
Los Medanos starting at 5:30

billed as the “Mendocino College
Hall of Fame Games.”
Because its the first year for the
ceremony, the 2006 class will be

number of inductees being pared
down to five and special inductees
to one in future years.

Evgeni Plushenko won a gold medal at Turin after winning silver in 2002 at the Salt Lake City
WinterOlympics. American Johnny Weir (below) went from second to fifth.
American Weir lets medal slip away, finishes fifth
By NANCY ARMOUR
TURIN, Italy (AP) — Evgeni
Plushenko was well into his
Olympic victory lap, waving his
flowers and wrapping himself in
the Russian flag, before the silver
and bronze medalists even climbed
off the podium.
These were Plushenko’s games.
Everyone else just filled out the
field, mere subjects to figure skating’s new king.
Plushenko, the silver medalist
four years ago in Salt Lake City,
skated safely but just strong
enough to add his name to the
Russian/Soviet dynasty that now
has won the men’s individual gold
medal in five straight Olympics.
“Four years ago, it was not my
Olympic games,” he said. “This
Olympic games is mine. For sure.”
As if there was ever any doubt.
Plushenko’s score of 167.67
points in the free skate gave him
258.33 overall — an incredible
27.12 points in front of Swiss
world champion and silver medalist Stephane Lambiel. Canada’s
Jeff Buttle, second to Lambiel at
last year’s world championships
when Plushenko was injured, won
the bronze.
American Johnny Weir let a
medal slip away with a cautious,
error-filled program, dropping
from second to fifth — one spot
below teammate Evan Lysacek.
The third American, Matt Savoie,
was seventh.
“I tell you the truth. This is my
dream,” Plushenko said, holding
up his gold medal. “Yeah. And I’m
so happy.”
The audience laughed, not sure
what to make of his serious look.
“Believe me,” he said. “I am so
happy.”
And then a grin broke wide
across his face.
Plushenko’s victory gave his
country both figure skating gold
medals so far — Tatiana
Totmianina and Maxim Marinin
won the pairs — and Russia is
favored in women and dance.
Plushenko has been one of the
world’s best since he was 15, yet
he seemed more like Alexei
Yagudin’s kid brother in Salt Lake
City. Only 19 then, he was shy and
quiet, and the obvious animosity
between his former training partner
and his beloved coach didn’t help.
He lost his chance for gold when
he botched his short program, then
faded into the background of
Yagudin’s brilliance. As Yagudin
waxed poetic about winning the
gold, the younger Russian watched
silently, stone-faced.
But Yagudin soon moved on,
and Plushenko grew into his own
man. One who would move the
sport even further ahead, while
everyone else struggles to catch up.
“He’s pushed skating more than
anyone I can think of,” Buttle said.
“Being on the podium with him
really is an honor. This bronze
medal means a lot more to me than
the silver I won last year.”
There’s bad news for Lambiel,
Buttle and the rest of the gang, too.
Though he’s an Olympic gold and
silver medalist and a three-time
See PLUSHENKO, Page A-8
TURIN, Italy — The illustration on
Evgeni Nabokov’s new goalie mask
depicts a boat flying the flags of several
Olympic nations — and a big shark biting
through the hull.
So there’s nothing subtle about his
headgear. But this tournament is a lifelong
ambition for the San Jose Sharks star:
When he stepped onto Olympic ice wearing Russia’s elegant red jersey on
Thursday, he fulfilled a dream that had
been deferred for nearly 30 years.
Sixty minutes later, Nabokov finished a
5-0 shutout victory over Sweden. The
dream got even better — and Nabokov
hopes he can reach a few more lofty goals
before he’s done in Italy.
Nabokov made 24 saves in his first
major international competition with
Russia, more than four years after he was
barred from participating in the Salt Lake
City Games. He finally has permission to
play for the same team he idolized as a
youth, and he’s determined not to waste it.
“It’s so hard to explain what I feel,
because it’s been a long time (coming),”
Nabokov said, glancing down at the bright
sweater complementing his teal pads. “I
feel really proud putting on this jersey. I’ve
been waiting for this a long time, and to
have a good game is the best thing I can
imagine.”
Nabokov was born in Kamenogorsk,
Kazakhstan, but raised in Russia from his
first year. At 19, he played for Kazakhstan
at the 1994 world championships — but as
he developed from an unknown, ninthround draft pick into a top NHL goalie,
that decision hindered his international
plans.
He was unable to join Russia in 2002
because International Ice Hockey
Federation rules usually prevent a player
from changing allegiances if he played for
one nation before he turned 18. Nabokov
wanted to play for Russia in the 2004
World Cup of Hockey, which isn’t govSee NABOKOV, Page A-8

FRIDAY, FEB. 17, 2006 – A-7
Davis will resign from
Indiana at end of season
By MICHAEL MAROT
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. —
Mike Davis’ departure from
Indiana was as sudden as his
ascent to the top of Hoosiers
basketball.
Just a couple dozen yards
from where he became Bob
Knight’s successor in 2000,
Davis walked into in a crowded room and announced he
would resign at the end of the
season. He was still wearing a
crimson Hoosiers’ sweater as
he urged fans to unite behind
the program.
“Don’t be sad for me.
Please don’t be sad for me,”
Davis said as his wife watched
from the side. “This is like the
MasterCard commercial. You
know, it’s priceless what God
has given me to be the head
basketball coach here.”
The embattled heir to one
of college basketball’s signature programs made his decision public with five games
left before the Big Ten tournament. In six seasons, he was
Legends
Continued from Page A-6
Humboldt State University,
where he started for two years
at fullback.
There is only one woman in
the initial class, softball standout Anne Ibarra-Bobich,
something Hunter says will
change in future years.
“The only reason there’s
one woman is because initially, we didn’t have a lot of
women’s athletics,” Hunter
said. “We’ve had some great
women athletes, and they will
end up in the hall.”
Hunter started working on
putting together Saturday’s
ceremony in December 2004,
putting together a committee
of 10 people who began looking at a group of 70 nominees,
109-76.
But Indiana (13-9, 5-6) has
been slumping lately. The
Hoosiers have lost four
straight games and are just 3-7
since a promising 10-2.
Indiana president Adam
Herbert said he had planned to
wait until after the season
ended to evaluate whether the
45-year-old Davis would
return as coach next year, but
Davis wouldn’t wait.
Herbert said Davis initiated
discussions
before
the
Connecticut game on Feb. 4.
They met again afterward and
eventually agreed on an
$800,000 buyout — a hefty
price for an athletics department that has run a multimillion dollar deficit in recent
years. Davis was scheduled to
earn about $800,000 over the
final two years of his contract.
At the news conference,
Herbert and athletic director
Rick Greenspan extolled
Davis’ successes — becoming
the first coach in school history to win 20 games and reach
the NCAA tournament in each
of his first three seasons, leading the Hoosiers to the national championship game in
2002 and producing one of the
nation’s finest recruiting
classes two years ago.
But fan unrest, unfinished
business and incessant pressure led to Davis’ decision.
“Every year there’s been a
rumor that coach Davis would
not be here and every year I’m
back,” Davis said. “I wanted it
to be on my terms.”
He has long had a troubled
relationship with Indiana’s
fans.
Less than two months after
becoming the coach, Davis
drew attention by saying after
a loss to Kentucky that he
“wasn’t the right man for
job.” The next season, some
fans were upset that Davis
said he wanted to coach in the
NBA one day. On Monday, he
said he believed that IU fans
needed a former Indiana player to coach the team so they
could embrace him.
dating all the way back to
1973.
Nominees had to have been
at least five years removed
from playing at Mendocino,
had to have been named to
some type of all-conference or
All-American team or set
some type of individual
record. The nominees also had
to have attained at least a 2.0
grade point average.
“We felt like that when
you’re here, you’re supposed
to be a student athlete,”
Hunter said. “We ended up
having the highest requirement for any Hall of Fame
that we researched.”
Each new member will

“We want this to be a special moment for them,”
Hunter said. “We’re trying to
do it up right.”
Hunter has been asked to
introduce three of the athletes,
baseball player Rod Dockins,
who
played
in
the
Philadelphia Philllies organizations, Clearlake’s Rik
Hayes, and Burrell.
“These guys, and girl,
weren’t here when we had
great facilities like we do
today,” Hunter said. “To say
who’s been my favorite, that’s
tough.”

Gordon, Schmidt trying to overcome injuries in return
Sadler
win
qualfiers
By JENNA FRYER
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.
— It’s official: Jeff Gordon is
the driver to beat in the
Daytona 500.
Gordon,
looking
to
rebound from a disappointing
season that saw him miss the
Chase for the championship,
showed his team is back on
track with a victory Thursday
in one of the qualifying races.
The win comes on the
heels of his strong qualifying
run — Gordon was second
during time trials — and
makes him the odds-on
favorite to defend his title in
Sunday’s season opener.
“That was a great 60-lap
practice for us and this team,”
he said. “I am really thrilled
with the whole performance
of this team and this race car
right now.”
Gordon will face a stiff
challenge in the main event
from Elliott Sadler, who won
the first qualifying event to
cap what has been a stout
week for his Robert Yates
Racing team. Sadler was
fourth in time trials and was
dominating in his victory.
“It feels pretty good,” he
said. “We beat them all pretty
handily.”
Sadler will lean on past
lessons learned to transfer the
momentum from this win into
Sunday’s event. He won a
qualifying race in 2004, only
to fade to a seventh-place finish in the 500.
And teammate Dale Jarrett
was in the same spot last season after winning a qualifier,
and he wound up a disappointing 15th.
But Sadler believes his
team is more prepared at the
start of the season than ever
before.
“From a mental standpoint,
not from a nut-and-bolts thing
with the race car, but from a
mental standpoint I think this
team is more focused and
more ready to go,” Sadler
said. “I feel like I’m the quarterback of this race team. It’s
time for me to act like it.”
The qualifying races are
used to set the field for the
Daytona 500, and 23 drivers
went into Thursday vying for
the four open spots on the
starting grid.
Kevin LePage and Bill
Elliott each raced their way in
during the first event, then
Mike Wallace and Kirk
Shelmerdine grabbed the
other two spots. A quirk in the
way the field is determined
pushed Robby Gordon into
the 500 before he even began
his qualifying event, rectifying the disappointment of last
season when he was shut out
of the biggest race of the year.
Things
were
rather
uneventful in Sadler’s race
until Chad Chaffin, one of 23
drivers trying to earn one of
four spots in the main event,
blew a tire with two laps to
go.
NASCAR threw out a caution flag, and as the field
rounded
Daytona
International Speedway the
lead drivers noticed a chunk
of debris from Chaffin’s car in
the middle of the track. They
all slowed up to avoid running over it, and Sterling
Marlin was unable to avoid
hitting anyone.
He swerved into the back
of Jarrett’s car, severely damaging his own vehicle while
sending the unsuspecting
Jarrett spinning into the grass.
The field was bunched
back up for a green-whitecheckered finish, and Sadler
wasn’t challenged over the
final two laps. Carl Edwards
finished second, beating Dale
Earnhardt Jr. by a nose.
NASCAR didn’t have to
scold anyone for bump drafting, an aggressive racing
technique that has been under
fire since last Saturday’s exhibition race. Tony Stewart
warned the problem was so
bad that someone could be
killed during the 500, so
NASCAR warned the drivers
during their pre-race meeting
that it would be policed and
penalized on Thursday.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. —
The San Francisco Giants exercised their $10.5 million option
on right-hander Jason Schmidt,
hopeful the injuries that limited
him to reduced velocity and 12
victories last year are gone.
Schmidt, 89-40 in four-plus
seasons with the Giants, hopes
so, too. He stepped up his winter workout regimen in preparation for a fresh start, but
offered no guarantee he would
be the hard thrower of old.
“I was pitching 80 percent,
and that’s not easy to do,” he
said. “We’ll get out there and
see if it’s back. If it’s not, I’m
in better shape now to deal
with things. Mentally, I’ve
already dealt with it once. We
all have stuff we go through.”
Schmidt wants to avoid
another slow start, one which
Plushenko
world champion, Plushenko
said he isn’t close to being
done.
“Why should I retire?” he
asked. “I’m 23 years old.
Next Olympic games, I’m
going to be 27. Not old.”
Plushenko’s competitors
had already conceded the
gold in these games after the
short program, which he won
by 10 points. But just in case
anyone had any ideas,
Plushenko quickly eliminated
them with his “Godfather”
program.
Skating first in the final
group, he opened with a
quadruple toe loop-triple toedouble loop combination, followed with a triple axel-double toe. It was over right
there.
Though he looked as if he
needed a push to get across
the ice in his footwork and
didn’t have his usual flair, it
was far too much for anyone
to match. He crossed himself
twice at the end, then got a
big hug and kiss on the cheek
from longtime coach Alexei
Mishin.
He also kissed his wedding
ring while awaiting his
marks, a tribute to his new
wife, Maria.
“I would like to say a word
about my coach and my
choreographer. They helped
me a lot and they really are
my friends,” Plushenko said.
“And I also would like to say
a lot of things to my parents,
especially mother.
“This is just like in the
Grammys,” he said, smiling.
“I would like to thank my
wife. I love her and I really
miss her.”
Plushenko was so sure of
produced a 6-5 record and a
5.01 ERA at the All-Star break.
General manager Brian Sabean
also wants to see improvement.
“The more you see of the old
Jason Schmidt, the more you
want to sign him,” Sabean said
when asked about the pitcher’s
future with the club. “We need
him to get through 200
innings.”
Because of injuries, Schmidt
worked 172 innings in 29 starts
last year. But he learned to
pitch effectively with less
velocity and went 6-2 after the
break to finish 12-7 with a 4.40
ERA. Then the Giants decided
against a $3.5 million buyout.
“I thought it was a 50-50
thing,” Schmidt said about
returning to the Giants. “I have
mixed emotions about it. I’m
going back to a familiar team. I
never said I didn’t want to be
his victory he stuck around to
watch Lambiel and Weir.
He had good reason to be
confident. One by one his
main challengers — if you
can call them that — skated,
and one by one they fell
short.
Lambiel landed a gorgeous
quad toe-triple toe-double
loop combination and had
exceptional spins. But he
never even tried a triple axel
— a staple for the top juniors
in the world — and he barely
saved himself from splatting
on his second quad toe. He
also fell on a triple lutz.
“I’m very happy with my
medal tonight,” said Lambiel,
who sobbed on the medals
podium. “But I know I can do
better. My performance was
not so good.”
Indeed, the silver medal
was Weir’s for the taking
after Lambiel’s shoddy program. But instead of being
his usual wonderfully unaffected self, Weir was terrified.
He arrived at the arena a
half-hour later than expected
because the bus he’d planned
to take from the athletes’ village never showed up, and he
never got back on track.
“I didn’t feel into the ice. I
didn’t feel comfortable. And
I’m sure, to everybody, I didn’t look like myself,” he said.
“But those are just an excuse.
here. It’s just it would have
been a good time to be a free
agent.”
Now, Schmidt will be pitching for a contract again and is
eager to avoid the frustrations
that accompanied his worst
season with the Giants after he
won an ERA title in 2003
(2.34) and went 18-7 in 2004.
“It was one of those years,”
he said of 2005. “The first one
or two starts were the only ones
where I felt normal. You’re
coming out of the All-Star
break and you’re trying to save
face till the end.
“You realize things aren’t
going your way for whatever
reason. A mental break is what
I needed more than anything. I
beat myself up, and there was a
lot of other stuff going on. I
just needed to get away from it.
I got beyond frustrated.”
I skated bad.”
He two-footed a triple
axel, had a shaky landing on a
triple lutz, did a sloppy triple
flip and spun as though he
didn’t really want to turn.
Worse, he plodded through
the footwork that normally
has him dancing across the
ice.
With only one combination jump, his medal chances
disappeared and he was sixth
in the free skate.
“I’m disappointed with the
way I skated, not with losing
a medal,” Weir said. “I was
off, it was an off night. But
I’ll be back in four years,
hopefully for a medal.”
Lysacek, 20, likely will be
back, too.
The runner-up to Weir at
nationals when Lysacek won
the free skate, he packed his
“Carmen” routine with emotion and motion — hitting all
eight of his triple jumps,
three in combinations, and
spinning precisely and quickly.
Amazing considering he
has a stomach flu and was
bedridden Wednesday.
He covered his face with
his hand at the finish, then
fell to one knee with the
crowd on its feet. His personal best of 152.58 was third in
the free skate and a terrific
way to make up for a poor
short program (10th).

Jason Schmidt went 12-7 with a 4.40 ERA in
2005, while fighting injuries the whole season.
Nabokov
erned by those international
rules, but he was hurt.
He finally got permission
to play in Turin, skating
around the IIHF rules with
an arcane exception regarding the breakup of the former Soviet Union. When
Chicago’s
Nikolai
Khabibulin sprained his
knee,
Nabokov
and
Anaheim’s Ilya Bryzgalov
were left in charge of the
Russian net.
“Nabby did a great job for
us,” Russian defenseman
Darius Kasparaitis said. “He
was strong back there. A lot
of us have played with him
and he played great tonight.”
Bryzgalov
struggled
Wednesday in a surprising
5-3 loss to Slovakia, but
Nabokov was unflappable
against
the
powerful
Swedish team.
As always when he plays
well, Nabokov deflected
every ounce of praise.
“We played a disciplined
team game, which is pretty
good for just the second
game of the Olympics,”
Nabokov said. “Usually it
takes a while to get there.
It’s a different game over
here, and you have to play
the position a different way
because the ice is big. But
it’s still exciting, and I’m
having a great time.”
The Sharks had a big allaround showing at the
Palasport Olimpico on the
sixth day of Olympic competition.
Canada’s Joe Thornton
picked up an assist in his
nation’s 5-1 victory over
Germany — and defenseman Christian Ehrhoff, his
teammate in San Jose,
scored the Germans’ only
goal.
“Good
job,
Chris,”
Thornton yelled at Ehrhoff,
smacking
the
young
defenseman’s shin pads with
his stick when they passed in
the hallway afterward.
Forward Marcel Goc also
played for Germany, while
20-year-old Sharks prospect
Thomas Greiss stopped 35
shots in goal for Canada.
Nabokov briefly spoke
with his San Jose teammates
in recent days, seeing
Thornton at the athletes’ village and chatting with Goc
and Ehrhoff at the rink.
Nabokov sat out the Sharks’
final three games before the
Olympic break because of a
conflict with coach Ron
Wilson, so he’s rested for the
tournament.

Human Rights Commission
organizing meeting Saturday
The first organizational meeting to create a
Human Rights Commission will be on
Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Public
Health building, in conference room 1. The
address is 1120 S. Dora St., and those attending
are invited to bring a bag lunch.
The need to create a Human Rights
Commission was expressed after many
Ukiahans saw the “Not in our Town” presentation and panel this past summer. The movie
COMMUNITY
was about five hate crimes that had happened
in Northern California and how those communities responded, making their communities
safer. It was pointed out during the questions to
the panel that Ukiah did not have a Human
Rights Commission. Recently, with the report
about neo-Nazis at the high school, it seems
imperative that we move forward, organizers
said.
The meeting will be facilitated by Ernie
Jones, who helped create the Human Rights
Commission in Sonoma County. There will be
examples from other counties on how they
formed their commissions.
Everyone is invited to attend and bring their
ideas, concerns and energy. For more information, call 463-2223.

White House submits huge
request for Iraq, hurricane relief
NEWS IN BRIEF
Bush; Chency handled
shooting incident ‘just fine’
WASHINGTON — Texas authorities closed the investigation into Vice President Dick Cheney’s hunting accident
Thursday without bringing any charges. President Bush said
Cheney had handled the situation “just fine.”
“I’m satisfied with the explanation he gave,” Bush said,
making his first public comments about Cheney’s accidental
shooting of 78-year-old attorney Harry Whittington while aiming for a quail. Bush said the vice president’s explanation was
“strong and powerful.”
The administration was eager to put to rest a public relations
firestorm arising from Cheney’s failure to publicly disclose
Saturday’s accident until the next day. The episode had
knocked the White House off stride and distracted attention
from Bush’s agenda.
Bush said critics were drawing “the wrong conclusion about
a tragic accident” by saying it depicted the White House as
overly secretive. He raised no objection to the delay in the disclosure of the shooting — although senior White House aides
had argued unsuccessfully for the announcement to be made
more quickly and for Cheney to speak out sooner.
Witness says Skilling directed
him to mislead Enron board
HOUSTON (AP) — Kenneth Rice, chief of Enron Corp.’s
struggling broadband unit, testified Thursday that his boss,
Jeffrey Skilling, directed him to paint a rosy, misleading picture
for the Enron board of directors that was in line with false statements Rice said he already made to financial analysts in 2001.
But Rice, the former CEO of Enron Broadband Services,
said in his third day on the stand at the fraud and conspiracy
trial of Skilling and founder Kenneth Lay that he had no documents and “only my recollection” to back up a conversation he
had with Skilling, Enron’s chief executive, as he prepared for a
May 2001 meeting of the company’s board.
In January 2001, Rice told Wall Street analysts who influenced the company’s stock price that the business was wellpositioned for strong, long-term financial performance. In reality, however, EBS was spending $100 million per quarter and
generating little revenue and business, he said.
Giving to colleges increases slightly
Donors gave an all-time record of at least $25.6 billion to
American colleges and universities in 2005, an increase of 4.9
percent over the year before, thanks largely to greater generosity from alumni and foundations. Stanford raised $603.6 million, more than any other university last year, and the secondhighest total ever behind Harvard’s $683 million in 2001,
according to the annual survey released Thursday by the
Council for Aid to Education. Second was the University of
Wisconsin-Madison, whose $595.2 million included a $296
million foundation grant awarded to its medical school following the conversion of Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Wisconsin
to a for-profit company. Wisconsin was followed by Harvard
($589.9 million), the University of Pennsylvania ($394.3 million) and Cornell ($353.9 million).
Iraq war
now costing
$6 billion
per month
By ANDREW TAYLOR
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — U.S.
military spending for the wars
in Iraq and Afghanistan will
rise to $115 billion for this
year — and nearly $400 billion since the fighting started
— under a new White House
request submitted to Congress
Thursday.
A separate request for
almost $20 billion in new hurricane relief funds would
bring total spending in
response to Katrina and Rita
to more than $100 billion.
The Bush administration
submitted a $65.3 billion war
request, and Pentagon officials said the money would be
sufficient to conduct the two
wars at least through Sept. 30.
Congress had approved $50
billion more for the war effort
in December.
“These funds support U.S.
Armed Forces and Coalition
partners as we advance
democracy, fight the terrorists
and insurgents, and train and
equip Iraqi security forces so
that they can defend their sovereignty
and
freedom,”
President Bush said in a letter
transmitting the request to
Congress.
The war in Iraq now costs
about $5.9 billion a month,
while Afghanistan operations
cost about $900 million per
month,
said
Pentagon
Comptroller Tina Jonas. That
doesn’t include the costs of
replacing
worn-out
or
destroyed equipment or training Iraqi and Afghan forces.
The Pentagon said the lat-
est request assumes a U.S.
force of 138,000 troops on the
ground in Iraq through Sept.
30, the end of the fiscal year,
even though the administration has signaled that troop
numbers would fall below that
this year.
The supplemental spending
request for the wars would
bring the total price tag for the
Iraq and Afghanistan missions
to almost $400 billion. Bush’s
budget anticipates an additional $50 billion for the budget year beginning Oct. 1,
though the costs are likely to
be much greater.
Thursday’s dual requests
totaled $91 billion and came
10 days after Bush submitted
his $2.8 trillion federal budget
for 2007. Overall, the cost of
the Iraq and Afghanistan wars
consumes about 4 percent of
the budget.
Still, war and hurricane
relief costs and the burgeoning budget deficit — estimated to hit a record $423 billion
this year — have put a
squeeze on other programs.
Bush’s budget proposed cuts
for a variety of domestic programs such as education,
Amtrak, community development and local law enforcement grants, and also proposed
curbing
inflation
increases
for
Medicare
providers.
Congress is likely to vote
on the massive requests next
month, but lawmakers are
already grumbling that the
White House left out funds for
highway repairs in Gulf Coast
states and for various agriculture disasters dotting the
Midwest. On the other side of
the spectrum, conservatives
believe the Katrina request
should be matched with
spending cuts elsewhere.
The latest request also
includes $4.2 billion for State
Department operations and
foreign aid, such as $75 million to promote democratic
institutions in Iran and $514
million to support peacekeeping efforts and provide food
aid in Sudan.
The request also includes
$2.9 billion for intelligence
gathering and other related
activities.
The $19.8 billion being
requested for hurricane relief
along the Gulf Coast includes
$4.2 billion in flexible community development block
grants aimed at compensating
Louisiana residents whose
homes have been damaged or
destroyed. Louisiana officials
said their state was shortchanged when Congress
approved $11.5 billion in such
funds in December.
The congressional delegations from bordering states
Texas and Mississippi say
they will resist devoting the
new community development
funds
exclusively
to
Louisiana.
“The complete lack of
funding in this proposed supplemental for a state that
absorbed enormous costs from
two hurricanes is stunning,”
said Sen. John Cornyn, RTexas. “This is a major disappointment, but one the entire
Texas delegation will fight to
correct.”
An additional $1.5 billion
would go toward levee repair,
storm-proofing
drainage
pumps and other flood control
projects, including $100 million to restore wetlands
around New Orleans. Some
$3.1 billion would go to repair
and rebuild federal facilities
such as military bases and a
veterans hospital in New
Orleans.
The Federal Emergency
Management Agency’s disaster relief fund is seeking $9.4
billion for such tasks as debris
cleanup, housing aid and other
relief. The request comes less
than two months after lawmakers took $23.4 billion
from FEMA’s coffers to help
pay for a $29 billion Katrina
relief bill.
The latest request would
push total federal spending for
hurricane rebuilding to more
than $100 billion, according
to administration tallies. That
reflects about $68 billion in
emergency appropriations,
$18.5 billion in available
flood insurance funds and the
latest $19.8 billion request.
The latest war request
includes:
—$33.4 billion for operations and maintenance costs,
including logistics, troop
security, food and fuel associated with the Iraq and
Afghanistan missions.
—$10.4 billion to fix or
replace damaged equipment
such as Humvees and Bradley
Fighting Vehicles.
—$9.6 billion for personnel costs.
—$5.9 billion to train and
equip Afghanistan’s and Iraq’s
military forces.
—$1.9 billion for equipment to detect and neutralize
roadside bombs and other socalled improvised explosive
devices.
—$1.5 billion to increase
military survivors’ benefits
and increase benefits for those
injured in combat.
A court setback for the White House on secrecy
By KATHERINE SHRADER
Associated Press
voting on whether to open an
investigation. Instead, he and
the White House both confirmed that they had an agreement to provide more information on the nature of the
program to lawmakers. The
White House has also committed to make changes to the
current U.S. law, according to
Roberts and White House
deputy press secretary Dana
Perino.
“I believe that such an
investigation at this point ...
would be detrimental to this
highly classified program and
efforts to reach some accommodation with the administration,” Roberts said.
Still, he promised to consider the Democratic request
for a vote in a March 7 meeting.
Earlier, President Bush’s
spokesman, Scott McClellan,
left the impression that any
deal with Congress would not
allow for significant changes.
He said the White House continued to maintain that Bush
does not need Congress’
approval to authorize the warrantless eavesdropping and
that the president would resist
any legislation that might
compromise the program.
“There’s kind of a high bar to
overcome,” McClellan said.
West Virginia Sen. Jay
Rockefeller, the Intelligence
Committee’s top Democrat,
said the White House had
applied heavy pressure to
committee Republicans to
prevent them from conducting
thorough oversight. He said
legislation can’t be considered
by the full Senate because
lawmakers don’t have enough
information.
“No member of the Senate
can cast an informed vote on
legislation authorizing or conversely restricting the NSA’s
warrantless surveillance program, when they fundamentally do not know what they
are authorizing or restricting,”
Rockefeller said.
It remains unclear what any
changes in law may look like.
Roberts indicated it may be
possible “to fix” the 1978
Foreign
Intelligence
Surveillance Act to authorize
the president’s program.
Perino said the White House
considers suggestions put forward by Sen. Mike DeWine,
R-Ohio, the starting point,
particularly his proposal to
create a special subcommittee
on Capitol Hill that would
regularly review the program.
DeWine’s proposal would
authorize Bush’s program and
exempt it from the Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Act.
That law set up a special court
to approve warrants for monitoring inside the United States
for national security investigations.
Yet Senate Armed Services
Chairman John Warner, R-Va.,
left the closed hearing saying
he has been working on a different legislative change to
FISA. “It seems that’s a logical place to start — to upgrade
FISA given the extraordinary
expanse of technology in the
30 years that have lapsed,” he
said.
And Senate Judiciary
Chairman Arlen Specter, R-
Pa., is drafting legislation
requiring
the
secretive
Foreign
Intelligence
Surveillance Court to review
Bush’s program and determine if it is constitutional.
Specter’s committee will
continue to investigate the
program’s legality at a Feb. 28
hearing.
The
Justice
Department strongly discouraged him from calling former
Attorney
General
John
Ashcroft and his deputy,
James Comey, to testify about
the surveillance program.
Just as Attorney General
Alberto Gonzales could not
talk about the administration’s
internal deliberations when he
appeared before the committee earlier this month, neither
can Ashcroft or Comey,
Assistant Attorney General
William Moschella said in a
letter to Specter obtained
Thursday.
“In light of their inability to
discuss such confidential
information, along with the
fact that the attorney general
has already provided the executive branch position on the
legal authority for the program, we do not believe that
Messrs. Ashcroft and Comey
would be in a position to pro-
vide any new information to
the committee,” Moschella
said.

and Mark Sherman contributed to this report.

WASHINGTON — A federal judge ordered the Bush
administration Thursday to
release documents about its
warrantless surveillance program or spell out what it is
withholding, a setback to
efforts to keep the program
under wraps.
At the same time, the
Republican chairman of the
Senate
Intelligence
Committee said he had
worked out an agreement with
the White House to consider
legislation and provide more
information to Congress on
the eavesdropping program.
The panel’s top Democrat,
who has requested a full-scale
investigation, immediately
objected to what he called an
abdication of the committee’s
responsibilities.
U.S. District Judge Henry
Kennedy ruled that a private
group will suffer irreparable
harm if the documents it has
been seeking since December
are not processed promptly
under the Freedom of
Information Act. He gave the
Justice Department 20 days to
respond to the request from
the
Electronic
Privacy
Information Center.
“President Bush has invited
meaningful debate about the
wireless surveillance program,” Kennedy said. “That
can only occur if DOJ
processes its FOIA requests in
a timely fashion and releases
the information sought.”
Justice
Department
spokesman Charles Miller
said no decision had been
made about the government’s
next steps.
On Capitol Hill, lawmakers
also have been seeking more
information about Bush’s program that allowed the
National Security Agency to
eavesdrop — without court
warrants — on Americans
whose international calls and
e-mails it believed might be
linked to al-Qaida.
After a two-hour closeddoor
session,
Senate
Intelligence Chairman Pat
Roberts, R-Kan., said the
committee adjourned without

the metaphor relates to people. “Most of us are running

this is called an ‘image,’” he

“They need food; some
dentistry will help with that,”
said Davis, who was supervising two teams of students
from the University of
California, Davis and Hartnell
College in Salinas.
“If that’s the only problem,
and there aren’t any changes
with their livers,” said Davis,
in six months they should
look fairly well.
The horses also got a visit
from Mendocino County
District Attorney Norm
Vroman, whose office is prosecuting the horses’ owner on
the animal abuse charges.

Students play volleyball with a huge ball during warmup games on Thursday.
Ryals said. “It’s called the
‘power shuffle,’ and it’s an
exercise designed to help people see they are not alone in
any kind of pain they are in. ...
It’s also designed to see how
oppression affects people. The
idea is, many times our youth
feel really alone,” he said.
Through Challenge Day,
youth learn there are lots of
people who have suffered in
one way or another.
“It (Challenge Day) gets
you to be more open with people and to be more real,”
Challenge Day mentor Tina
Linares explained. “It actually
has helped a lot of students ...
just being able to go to
perform tasks such as vaccinations and grinding down -or floating -- the horses’ teeth.
“What happens is their
teeth grow to a place where it
won’t allow the mouth to
close, so they can’t chew their
food,” explained Vroman,
who said floating would normally be routinely done about
every 60 to 90 days.
Such examples of neglect
may figure into the case
against DeNoyer, who is prohibited from owning any horses while his trial is pending,
according to the DA’s Office.
Mendocino County Animal
Control officers took the 23
horses recovering on the
Willits ranch from DeNoyer
on Dec. 27. Twelve more are
being kept near Fort Bragg.
One horse was found dead at
the time of the raid.
Unlicensed doctor charged
with providing fake exams
Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO (AP)
— An unlicensed doctor who
allegedly injected immigrants
with a saline solution he
claimed was a vaccine faces
more than 100 criminal
counts, prosecutors said
Thursday.
Stephen Brian Turner, 51,
has been charged with 106
felonies for allegedly providing fake immigration medical
exams while unlicensed.
Charges include practicing
medicine without a license,
mishandling blood samples
and felony grand theft,
according to prosecutors.
“Instead of helping these
people,
this
defendant

what’s wrong and what’s
going on and knowing that
you are not alone with what
has happened, and knowing
you are not the only one who

allegedly manipulated them
for his own personal profit,”
San
Francisco
District
Attorney Kamala Harris said
in a statement.
Turner was being held in
county jail Thursday on $1.45
million bail after being arrested the day before at his
Hayward home.
Prosecutors claim Turner
stole $247,000 from 1,417
victims, most of whom
thought they were receiving
legitimate immigration medical exams, Harris said.
Investigators said in court
documents that Turner injected patients with saline rather
than vaccines for illnesses like
mumps and rubella.
SAN FRANCISCO — The
investigator accused of fabricating juror statements in a
bid to win clemency for a man
condemned to die Tuesday is
under investigation for previous cases she worked on for a
state agency that defends
death row inmates.
Investigator
Kathleen
Culhane, whose work is being
questioned in the case of
Michael
Morales,
was
employed by the Habeas
Corpus Resource Center
between 2001 and 2005, the
agency said Thursday.
Culhane generated what
prosecutors believe were
bogus juror declarations from
six jurors saying Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger should spare
Morales, who raped and murdered a 17-year-old Lodi girl
in 1981.
Although her work was
regarded as high quality, the
center said in a statement that
it would review her past cases.
Executive Director Michael
Laurence declined comment.
Morales’ attorneys, former
Whitewater
independent
counsel Kenneth Starr and
Los Angeles attorney David
Senior, questioned the authenticity of the declarations
Culhane said she obtained and
withdrew them from the
clemency petition.
The California Attorney
General’s office and prosecutors in San Joaquin County,
where the girl was killed, said
they were fakes. Some jurors
told state investigators they
never spoke to Culhane and
wanted Morales executed.
Juror names were not part of
the public record.
One
juror,
Amador
Martinez, 72, of Oxnard, who
was not one of the six whose
declarations were questioned,
recalled
meeting
with
Culhane for about 20 minutes
on Jan. 29. The investigator
presented a letter of introduction explaining the purpose of
her visit and asked Martinez
what he thought about the
death sentence 23 years later.
“I told her that as I recalled
it was a real brutal-type case
and that I think we, the jury,
made the right decision,”
Martinez said.
Martinez
described
Culhane as “professional,
polite, not forceful,” and said
he never felt pressured by her
to say or sign anything.
Prosecutors later contacted
Martinez to confirm that he
had spoken with Culhane, he
said.
Culhane declined to speak
with The Associated Press last
week and her San Francisco
phone was disconnected
Thursday. The address listed
on a business card she left
with one juror led to a San
Francisco business that rents
post office boxes.
The California Department
of Consumer Affairs said she
was not a licensed investigator.
Her
attorney,
Stuart
Hanlon, said Culhane committed no wrongdoing and
that there was no discrepancy
with the signatures she submitted and the ones obtained
by state investigators.
“We’re comfortable that
she didn’t do anything wrong
and we want to investigate the
case,” Hanlon said.
Chuck Schultz, a San
Joaquin County prosecutor
who
is
urging
Schwarzenegger to deny
clemency, said the documents
were forged and some signatures were misspelled. He
doesn’t believe Starr or Senior
knew they were submitting
allegedly false documents, but
accused them of sloppy work.
“Maybe they thought we
were nothing but a cow county out here,” Schultz said. “I
think there was a little bit of
arrogance out there, too.”
Starr and Senior said they
did not know they were submitting questionable evidence
to the governor.

Golf
Tayman Park’s proposal was by
all definitions “superior,” the
City Council accepted the golf
community’s line of reasoning,
hoping for more options. The
altered circumstances since the
bid request was issued in
October 2005 convinced a
majority of the board to throw
out the current bid process and
effectively start over.
Ukiah city staff noted proudly that Tayman Park leaders
implemented a year-round
junior golf program, expanded
food and beverage services and
an online marketing campaign
in Healdsburg, all needed
improvements for Ukiah.
Bonnie Carter, president of the
18-hole women’s group, called
Tayman Park “as qualified as
anyone you’ll find.” But the
frustration with a lack of applicants rankled local golf fans,
who begged the council not to
make a “hasty” decision that
could linger for a full 17-year
term.
The structure and purpose
behind a private bid created
some concern, however.
Because Tayman Park’s proposal is now available for the
public, officials argued, another
group could copy it while
improving a few elements. City
Attorney David Rapport noted
this was “unfair” for those who
participated in the first goaround, but not necessarily illegal. Another concern centered
on the five-member screening
committee, whose members
might become biased in favor
of the proposals they had
already seen as part of a process
widely seen as thorough.
The golf community has
been at odds with the city
recently, notably on the yearly
fee’s uptick to $500. City officials have been quick to note, as
they did Wednesday night, that
the golf course has seen healthy
financial statements dwindle to
nearly nothing.
When a handful of locals
expressed hope that Tad
McCormick, a non-managerial
golf pro at the Ukiah club,
would apply for the job now
that his boss took himself out of
the running, Council member
Phil Baldwin expressed concerns about the process’ fairness.
“To me, the integrity of the
city is at stake here,” Baldwin
said. “There’s a chance there’s a
perception that there’s already a
preference, (that) this is an
inside job. I think the process
was fair, it was unanimously
determined (by the Ukiah
clubs-based screening committee) and our credibility is sincerely at stake here.”
After the vote -- during
which Ashiku took a lengthy,
dramatic pause before casting
the deciding vote -- city staff
informed the council they
would need an extra 80 to 120
hours of work over the next
four months to reissue the bid.
Staff will provide procedural
options, which could include an
external screening committee,
to the council at its next meeting.
City officials suggested that
another reason the council
voted along with the will of the
golf community was out of fear
they might ensure the Tayman
Park leaders fail because they
did not get the process they
wanted or the option to consider the popular McCormick.
McMillen does not currently
have a golf pro contract with
Ukiah, but instead continues to
work on a day-to-day basis “as
a courtesy to keep the doors
open,” he said. He pulled his
name out from consideration,
he said, because he was “dissatisfied” with the city’s willingness to replace him after 16
years of service.
“I was surprised (when I
learned about the bid),” he said.
“It’s never been done to any
golf professional I know of. I
never got a review on my job,
even though I asked for a yearly review to see what I could
work on. They’ve never come
to me with a complaint in 16
years.”
McMillen said he learned
Thursday he “might have
another option” at the Ukiah
golf course, but declined to
elaborate.
Both
Ashiku
and
Community Services Director
Sage Sangiacomo disagreed
with McMillen’s assertions on
job reviews.
“Evaluations occur every
time there’s communication
(between the city and the golf
pro),” Sangiacomo said, adding
that McMillen missed the point
of the request for bids. “The
intent was to have a comparative analysis to bring our course
up to current industry standards.”
Sangiacomo said he was
“disappointed not to be able to
move forward” with hiring a
new golf pro after months of
work, but emphasized that
every step of the process from
screening to the City Council is
important to make the best
decision for the community.
ATTIC FIRE IN
PINOLEVILLE DRIVE AREA
Finance
ing he had not made up his
mind on the issue and assuming some result means nothing
in reality. Councilmember
John McCowen suggested
that if every decision the
council made had to rely “on
scientific proof, we wouldn’t
do much up here.” Instead, an
abundance of evidence exists
that “big money is a corrupting influence in politics,” he
suggested.
Medical metaphors flowed
throughout the night as
Ashiku described the proposal as “giving chemotherapy to
a patient you haven’t diagnosed” and other officials
labeled the planned reform as
“preventative medicine.”
A minority of time was
spent on the proposal items
themselves -- which also
included a voluntary spending cap of $5,000 and a $500
limit for professional services
-- but the divisions on the dais
continued. Ashiku suggested
the planned limitations would
actually hinder the average
citizen from winning elections because wealthier candidates would still have
access to personal funds but
others would be forced to rely
on a then-dwindled warchest.
Incumbents would also
benefit greatly, Ashiku said,
and individuals might be less
inclined to donate to candidates knowing their names

Baldwin said campaign
finance reform is “simply an
issue of common sense and
not threateneing to anyone
who wants to run an issuesbased campaign.” He, and
others, agreed that competitiveness, public accountability and empowering citizens
over special interest groups
should be maintained as goals
for Ukiah’s elections.
“If you’ve got something
worthwhile to offer this community, you will receive support,” said Judy Pruden, a
planning commissioner and a
former precinct inspector.
“The more open (the process)
is, the more engaged you will
be with your neighbors.”
Other members of the public
urged the council to be proactive against outside groups
while fostering greater interaction between candidates
and the citizenry.
But concerns over prohibitive levels of paperwork for
city staff seemed to ring true
for the council. City Attorney
David Rapport said he would
look into the legality of the
proposals -- and to what
extent the city can rule on
radio frequencies broadcasted
into the county, among similar concerns -- but noted that
he would need at least a
month to do so.

Datebook: Friday, Feb. 17, 2006
Today is the 48th day of 2006 and the
59th day of winter.
TODAY’S HISTORY: In 1801, the U.S.
House of Representatives elected Thomas
Jefferson president of the United States after
an Electoral College tie.
In 1934, the first driver’s education
course in U.S. history was offered at State
College High School in Pennsylvania.
In 1979, China invaded Vietnam.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAYS: Hal Holbrook
(1925-), actor, is 81; Jim Brown (1936-)
ASTROGRAPH
By Bernice Bede Osol
Saturday, Feb. 18, 2006
In the year ahead, be careful about liberating yourself
from a situation you think
isn’t right for you. Once out
of it, you might regret your
actions and find it impossible to get back in. Don’t
burn all your bridges behind
you.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 19) -- Even though you
would like to be a good guy
and easy to get along with,
don’t be too hasty about
agreeing to follow the judgment of another. Your
assessment might be the
right one.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March
20) -- Those with whom
you’ll be involved today
might not place as much
value on a collective
endeavor as you do. If it
The Ukiah
means a lot to you, be on
guard so that things aren’t
mishandled.
ARIES (March 21-April
19) -- It’s true that you’re
usually good at making
sound judgment calls and
you’ll be pretty good at it
again today, but with two
exceptions -- when emotions
are involved or with games
of chance.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20) -- This is one of those
times when it might be best
not to make any promises at
all than to commit to something and not be able to follow through. The disappointment of others could be
too much.
GEMINI (May 21-June
20) -- There is nothing
wrong with your directives
football player, is 70; Rene Russo (1954-),
actress, is 52; Michael Jordan (1963-), basketball player, is 43.
TODAY’S SPORTS: In 1964, White Sox
shortstop Luke Appling was elected to baseball’s Hall of Fame.
TODAY’S QUOTE: “The most valuable
of all talents is that of never using two
today, but what could cause
a brouhaha with co-workers
is ordering them to follow
you and then using watered
down methods yourself.
CANCER (June 21-July
22) -- A financial matter that
you believe to be locked
down may not be as firmly
secured as you thought, so
you must be prepared for
any weaknesses. Not being
primed could prove costly.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - Don’t fall too much in love
with your plans for the day,
because they might not
come off too easily. Certain
restrictions could be foisted
on you by persons of authority.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22) -- It could be disappointing to you today should
words when one will do.” -- Thomas
Jefferson
TODAY’S FACT: The House of
Representatives conducted 36 votes (1 tie,
35 indecisive) before Thomas Jefferson was
chosen president over Aaron Burr.
TODAY’S MOON: Between full moon
(Feb. 13) and last quarter (Feb. 21).
someone you’ve treated
kindly in the past be inconsiderate now when you need
support. Don’t depend upon
anyone but yourself.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.
23) -- Although it might
sound like a good idea at the
time, letting another take on
a task today which you normally do could end up disappointing. The results could
be anything but pleasing.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
22) -- Usually you have
great staying power and
don’t get impatient about
completing what you take
on. Today, however, you
might put your plans into
play before your forces are
properly marshaled.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.
23-Dec. 21) -- Do not be so
anxious to accomplish your
goals today that you agree to
do something that you
haven’t taken the time to
think
through
clearly.
Failure could occur rather
than success.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19) -- Information you
receive today could cause
you to question the sincerity
of a long-time friend. Don’t
be so quick to believe everything you hear; the source
could prove unreliable.
Know where to look for
romance and you’ll find it.

CHALLENGER

DIRECTIONS:
A. Using each "Chaos Grid" number with its
letter one time, arrange the numbers with
their letters for the "Order Grid" so each
vertical column, horizontal row, and two
diagonals each ADD to numbers inside
thick lined cells.
B. Some correct numbers with their letters
have been put into the "Order Grid" to
get you started. Also, above the "Order
Grid" is a "Decoded Message" clue.
C. After you have solved the "Order Grid"
doing as direction "A" says, put the letters from horizontal rows, from left to
right, under "Decoded Message" and

Husband should be more flexible with his children
Dear Annie: I am in my second marriage to
a wonderful man. I have two adult children,
and “Brandon” has three teenagers. We never
have any contact with his children unless they
want something. Because of this, Brandon has
chosen not to have a relationship with them.
My 25-year-old daughter has been in and
out of drug rehab for the last eight years. We
have repeatedly gotten her out of financial
jams, and she has come to live with us four
times to get straight. She does really well for a
while and then just disappears for months at a
time. The last time we let her move in, we told
her if she left again, that would be the last time
we helped.
Well, she was here for three months and
then walked out, this time leaving most of her
belongings. I have called her cell phone
numerous times, begging her to let me know
she is OK, and have not received any response.
I know she is still working because I checked,
but that’s it.
ANNIE’S MAILBOX
By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
My husband wants to pack up her stuff and
take it to her job or to Goodwill. I know she
cannot be allowed to move back into our home,
but I can’t give her stuff away. Brandon
already has told me he will not stay if I continue to help her. How do I get past the feeling
that I am turning my back on my child? -Desperate
Dear Desperate: Brandon sounds rather
rigid in his dealings with your children and his
own, and we wish he would be more flexible.
Still, your daughter is a grown woman and has
to learn to be responsible for herself. You
aren’t abandoning her by packing up her things
and dropping them off at her job. You are sim-

ply telling her that she cannot take advantage
of your generosity any longer.
Keep the lines of communication open by
continuing to call her, and whenever possible,
make plans to meet her for lunch or dinner or
whatever. We hope, in time, she will get her act
together.
Dear Annie: I am a 55-year-old woman and
have been a self-employed hair stylist for over
30 years. While I love my job, it’s beginning to
take its toll -- my feet burn from standing, and
my whole body aches at the end of the day. I
don’t have health insurance, and a new plan
simply costs too much.
I shudder at the thought of doing hair for
another 10 years and am petrified my health
will fail. Selling the business won’t bring in
much, and at my age, I’m not likely to find a
job that would provide benefits. What can I do?
-- Simi Valley, Calif.
Dear Simi Valley: If you are physically
incapable of working, you may qualify for disability benefits. Here are a few other suggestions: Look into disability insurance that will
cover you if you need to work part time. Invest
in shoes with better support, and sit on a stool
at least part of the time while you are styling
hair. Cut back your hours, and use the extra
time to look for a desk job. (Even one that
doesn’t provide benefits would get you off
your feet.) Sell the business and work for a
salon that pays benefits. Bringing along your
own clientele could make you quite a catch.
Dear Annie: You recently printed a letter
from “In a Pickle,” whose retired friend,
“Louis,” monopolizes the conversation.
I’m also retired and losing sharpness. I suspect that Louis’ constant chatter is covering up
the fact that he can’t hear what others are saying. Your advice telling him to see a doctor was
on track, and I hope the doctor checks his hearing. -- J.K.
Dear J.K.: We heard from quite a few hardof-hearing readers who saw themselves in that
letter. Apparently, some folks would rather be
thought boring and egocentric than admit they
can’t hear well. With thousands of Boomers
getting closer to retirement, let’s hope designer
hearing aids become all the rage.
