Coast struck
with 40 acts
of vandalism
‘TIMELESS MAGIC’ AT THE REDWOOD EMPIRE FAIR
Fair events
frequently
offered free
By BEN BROWN
The Daily Journal
The Fort Bragg Police Department is
offering a reward to anyone with information that would lead to the arrest of people
responsible for 40 acts of vandalism that
occurred early this week.
According to police reports, several
structures, including the restrooms at
Bainbridge Park, a local church and some
private property were vandalized on
Monday. Much of the graffiti was red and
appeared to be gang related, according to
police reports.
“It is a total disregard for our community when overt acts like this occur,” said
FBPD Chief Mark Puthuff. “The suspects
are cowards that hide behind their pathetic
painted scrawl. Cowards beware, our community is fed up with your antics and we
are tracking you as we speak.”
Officers with the FBPD have increased
patrols in the areas where the graffiti
appeared and are asking for the public’s
help to find the suspects. A $500 reward
has been offered by the department to anyone who provides information about the
suspects that leads to a successful prosecution.
Anyone with information is asked to
contact FBPD Officer Oscar Lopez at 9612800, extension 165.

T
he Redwood Empire Fair, which opens
today at the Ukiah fairgrounds, is filled
with fun events, a lot of them free.
Besides the carnival rides, games and
concession stands, there are attractions
that are free of charge and fun to attend.
The fair runs through Sunday, and one of its
free attraction is a reptile museum set up in one of
the buildings. Brad’s World of Reptiles, based in
Oregon, travels to events and fairs with various
reptiles for people to touch and learn about. The
reptile handlers talk about the species while letting
guests touch and even hold them. This year’s
exhibit is bigger than most with about 40 different
kinds of snakes, lizards, spiders and other similar
species.
“This is so people can be exposed to reptiles they

Katlyn Long’s life remembered, honored
Fort Bragg Advocate-News staff
Last Sunday, Aug. 3, a memorial gathering
honoring Katlyn Long of Fort Bragg was held at
Blues Beach where friends and relatives shared
stories and memories of their times with Katlyn.
The 22-year-old daughter of John and Linda
Long died suddenly May 29 at her parents’
home. The county Sheriff’s Office is investigating her death as suspicious in nature (see related story).
Sunday’s beach gathering was large with
some people traveling long distances to share
poems, pictures, music, memories and grief.
Memorials in many forms are taking shape.
Katlyn’s family plans to make molded concrete
benches to be placed around the community in
her honor. If an individual or business wants to
sponsor or help with the project, they can call
the Long Family at 707-357-2439.
The first of what will become an annual fundraising dinner to benefit the Katlyn Long
Memorial Scholarship Fund will be held on
Aug. 29 at Bayview Café in Mendocino, where
she had worked as a waitress. Proceeds will go
to a deserving College of the Redwoods student.
The exact time and details are pending.
Anyone who would like to contribute a raffle
prize for the dinner can call the above number or
write to: The Long Family, P.O. Box 478, Fort
Bragg, CA 95437.
If you would like to contribute to future
memorials or the scholarship fund in her name,
go to the Fort Bragg Credit Union at 120 N.
Franklin St. in Fort Bragg and tell them you are
contributing to the Katlyn Long Memorial
Fund.
Sheriff’s investigation continues
By TONY REED
Fort Bragg Advocate-News
It has been more than two months since
the death of 22-year-old Katlyn Long of Fort
Bragg. Authorities say they are still waiting
for test results to return from the lab to tell
them what caused her death, which they consider suspicious.
Sheriff’s Detective Sgt. Greg Van Patten
said Tuesday that the department is at the
mercy of the forensic pathologist conducting
the tests.
Long was pronounced dead at Mendocino
Coast District Hospital May 29, the cause
unknown. The Sheriff’s Department report
issued May 30 said Long had been transported by ambulance from her parents’ home
early that morning.
Purple and blue satin ribbons to wear, as well
as small laminated cards bearing Katlyn’s photograph and the following message are being
distributed by her family:
“In loving memory of Katlyn Long, daughter
of John and Linda, sister to Adrienne, and auntie Tiki to Eben.
“She was our ray of sunshine. Her good character and the kindness of her heart won the
affection of all.
“Katlyn’s love of horses had an influence on
The report said an unidentified male subject, known by Long, was the last known
person to have been with her at the time of
her death.
An autopsy was conducted but results
were not released.
Weeks later, the newspaper made another
request for information. Sheriff’s Lt. Rusty
Noe said at the time that results of lab tests
had not been received.
According to Sgt. Van Patten, the
California Forensic Medical Group in
Sonoma County is conducting the toxicology report. He said evidence was also collected at her parents’ home where she was staying and other locations. However, that eviSee SHERIFF, Page 15
the wonderful person she had become. She had
a deep love and respect for animals and the outdoors that carried through into her beautiful artwork. She was a gentle soul who embraced life
and knew no boundaries.
“We will miss her beautiful smile, her warm
brown eyes, her kindness, and her sense of
humor. Our time with her was cherished. She
lived life to the fullest and she will be missed by
all who had the privilege to have known her.
She will always be in our hearts.”
Fire season started early in the valley
this year, and since June 21 when the
forests were hit by lightning storms,
smoke from almost 1,000 fires has been
choking the valley.
Many fires create smoky conditions
which can last a long time, creating shortterm air quality issues. The smoke may
drift many miles away from the fire itself,
so smoke from the fire does not necessarily reflect the exact location of the fire. It
often looks much closer than it is.
According to Mendocino National
Forest Forest Fuels and Fire Planner Tom
Caves, the majority of fires are monitored
for smoke output. It is expected that the
current Yolla Bolly complex of fires will
not be contained until Aug. 15 at the earliest, so fire managers have installed remote
air quality monitoring stations to maintain
close watch on smoke output. This monitoring station is located in Covelo, and
data from it can be found on the Web at
www.satguard.com.
Why is the valley experiencing so much
smoke? “It’s kind of a double-edged
sword,” states Caves. “During periods of
stable air, the smoke settles and doesn’t
move around. While this is good for the
rate of the spread of fire, it makes aerial
suppression almost impossible and it can
cause serious smoke issues.” He went on
to explain that “during unstable air conditions, the smoky air vents and moves out,
causing fewer smoke problems, but also
increasing the rate of fire spread and causing fire suppression activities to become
even more intense and dangerous.”
Caves urges residents and visitors alike
to use common sense during times like
these. “If it looks smoky outside, it’s probably not a good time to do extensive yard
work or train for a marathon.” Fire managers are currently working with local air
quality districts to determine impacts from
smoke and provide an efficient information flow between the agencies.

woman she was a
nanny to several Hopland
families, she picked

her entire life, helping her

cut fire wood and run several businesses, in-
cluding the “Keg”, for

GALVIN, BARBARA HADLEY
Barbara Hadley Galvin
of Ukiah passed away
at her home Saturday,
August 2, 2008.
Barbara was a graduate
of Pasadena Junior
College, and was graduated
from the Pasadena Hospital School of
Nursing in 1935.
On July 27, 1935,
Barbara married Keith
Bernhardt Galvin.
Barbara was an active
member of the Ukiah
Women’s Golf Club for
many years. She also
was an avid fisherwoman,
who seemed to effortlessly catch steelhead
fish along the Russian River and at Lake
Pillsbury Resort.
Barbara also was an
accomplished pianist,
and even dabbled with guitar playing.
She equally enjoyed
horse race betting at the
Sonoma County Fair.
Barbara worked for
years as a registered
nurse for the area’s former
Hillside Community Hospital after relocating
to Ukiah with her
family from Southern
California in the early
1960s.
Barbara will be remembered most for her
compassionate way with
everyone she met
and an uncanny ability to
look into people’s
hearts and make friends
instantly. She was
able to make a stranger or
acquaintance feel
like an old friend within
minutes after an initial
encounter. Barbara had a
zest for living that
radiated in every social situation she entered.
Not only was she the life of
any party, but was
herself known by friends as
a gracious hostess, especially of festive
annual July Fourth
parties at her home, where
there was always
a “front row” hillside seat
for viewing dazzling
evening fireworks at the
Ukiah fairgrounds.
A stickler for proper
manners and language,
Barbara was quick to correct friends and acquaintances on inaccurate
English usage, including family members,
and was most adamant about maintaining
good posture.
Above all, Barbara loved
her family, traveling
often particularly with son
Robert to New
York, New England, San
Francisco, and Oregon, and attending operas,
symphony concerts and ballets with him.
She enjoyed a
happy marriage to husband
Keith B. Galvin,
who owned Galvin’s
Chevrolet, Oldsmobile
and Toyota in Ukiah for
several decades.
Barbara was a superb
homemaker, hostess
and cook, often preparing
gourmet dishes for
her guests. She knew how
to have fun, laugh,
and make anyone feel he or
she had something special to offer to the
world. Her friendliness, warmth, and love for
all people was infectious.
Barbara often summarized her bright and
positive attitude about life
by saying: “Today
is a special day, and there
will never be another one like it.”
Barbara is survived by
sons Bruce Galvin and
wife Letecia of Davis, Ca.,
and Robert Galvin
of Oregon City, Oregon,
daughter Pat Munson of Tigard, Oregon, and
grandchild Denise
Wienke wife of Carl
Wienke, Sacramento, Ca.
A visitation will be held
on Thursday, August
7, 2008 from 12-5 pm and
6-8 pm at the Eversole Mortuary. A funeral
service will be held
on Friday, August 8, 2008
at 10:00 AM at the
Eversole Mortuary with
Father Ray Maloney
officiating.
Burial will be at the
Ukiah Cemetery.
Arrangements are under
the direction of the

Justice Department says Ivins Guantanamo verdict shows
solely responsible for 2001
plan for war-crimes trials:
anthrax attacks
secret testimony, quick verdicts
WASHINGTON (AP) — Bruce Ivins, a
brilliant yet deeply troubled Army scientist,
was solely responsible for the anthrax attacks
that killed five and rattled the nation in 2001,
the government declared Wednesday, alleging
he had custody of the lethal spores involved
and access to the distinctive envelopes used to
mail them. Ivins, who committed suicide last
week, submitted false anthrax samples to the
FBI to throw investigators off his trail and was
unable to provide “an adequate explanation for
his late laboratory work hours” around the time
of the attacks, according to documents that
officials made public to support their case.
Investigators also said he sought to frame
unnamed co-workers and had immunized himself against anthrax and yellow fever in early
September 2001.

GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba
(AP) — The conviction of Osama bin Laden’s
driver by a U.S. military court after a 10-day trial
provides an indication of what to expect as
dozens more Guantanamo prisoners go to court:
shifting charges, secret testimony — and quick
verdicts.
Salim Hamdan held his head in his hands and
appeared to weep Wednesday as the six-member
military jury declared the Yemeni guilty of aiding
terrorism, which could bring a maximum life
sentence. But in a split decision, the jury in
America’s first war-crimes trial since the aftermath of World War II cleared Hamdan of two
charges of conspiracy. Deputy White House
spokesman Tony Fratto applauded what he called
“a fair trial” and said prosecutors will now proceed with other war crimes trials.

‘Into the Woods’ a thoughtful comedy
By NATASHA YIM
Special for the Journal
Ukiah Players Theatre and
Mendocino College’s collaboration of Stephen
Sondheim’s Tony-award winning musical, “Into the
Woods,” is a campy journey
through a fairy tale land peppered with familiar, albeit
more darkly flawed, characters like dim-witted giant
killer, Jack (of Beanstalk
fame), an emotionally dysfunctional Rapunzel (presumably due to being locked in a
tower for years), two adulterous Prince Charmings, a
Little Red Riding Hood with
bite, and Cinderella.
It most certainly is not
your Mother’s fairy tale. It is,
however, as one theater-goer
said, “the goofiest thing I
have ever seen.” In a good
way.
“Into the Woods” tells the
story of a Baker and his Wife
who are cursed with childlessness by a witch. To break
the spell, they must obtain
certain items possessed by
several characters: a milky
white cow from Jack, Red
Riding Hood’s blood red
cape, Rapunzel’s hair of yellow corn, and a slipper as
pure as gold from Cinderella.
Once these objects have
been acquired through whatever means at hand, (deceit
and manipulation, a gift of
gratitude, even brute force),
the characters must face the
consequences of their actions
and in the end learn a lesson
about greed and revenge, and
the need for community and
family to stick together if
they are to achieve their
Happily Ever After.

The other side
of global warming
To the Editor:
Here’s the other side of Mr.
Rorabaugh’s anti-global warming data (as
presented in his letter the editor of July
15, 2008), which is primarily a decade
old or more, according to the Web site he
lists (the “Global Warming Petition
Project”). Go to
http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Study/Gl
obalWarmingQ&A for an up to date presentation/summary of the current scientific data on the topic. Even though this site
has many climatologists and earth scientists represented, it is by no means the
sole scientific Web site devoted to the
topic.
What harm would it do to begin conservation efforts now, rather than at a
later time when the consequences of not
doing so very likely will be irreversible
harm to the planet, if what the earth scientists, climatologists and paleoclimatologists and all the rest who maintain upto-date data on this phenomenon are saying will likely occur, and in fact may
have already occurred? Who will benefit
if we don’t take action now? Certainly
the oil companies. Certainly the coal
mining and atomic power interests.
Perhaps even the automobile companies;
however it seems as though the public in
other countries has already decided that
issue, and drivers in the United States,
while slower than drivers in the rest of
the world to catch on, are still far ahead
of the warming-deniers and our current
administration in Washington. Certainly
the folks who supply corn to ethanol
manufacturers will benefit, especially the
huge agribusinesses like Archer Daniels
Midland, a large donor to president Bush
and the Republican party. The president’s
other favored alternative, hydrogen, is
way down the list because it doesn’t
occur naturally and must be separated
using other sources of energy (usually
fossil fuels) in order to be liberated for
combustion. And there is currently no
infrastructure to support supplying it
nationwide should it ever become available. It, too, has presidential support
from the industry which wants to make it
and which donates money to the president and his party (an industry which
would certainly not refuse government
subsidies and tax money for aiding production).
Corn-based ethanol as a gasoline additive is also counter-productive, since it
requires an enormous amount of water
and fossil fuels to grow the corn in the
form of fertilizers, diesel fuels for tractors and transportation, and, as has been
already shown this year, removes a crucial food source for human use. There are
other crops which provide far more
“bang for the buck:” miscanthus, switchgrass, hemp, sugar cane (heavily used in
some countries in S.A.), and palm oil.
Another source is used cooking oil,
which will not remain cheap as the
demand for it increases, however. It is
what the Frenchman Rudolph Diesel
designed his namesake engine to run on.
All of these alternative fuels, or biofuels,
act as additives to gasoline or as the sole
fuel.
So, continuing to deny the by-now
overwhelming evidence that GW is a
real, verifiable, human-caused phenomenon seems very like those folks who
deny that the Holocaust occurred, or who
continue to maintain that the earth is flat,
or that astrology yields a valid, predictable explanation of individual fates,
or that the earth is only six thousand
years old: asinine at best and very dangerous at worst.

Vail (Colo.) Daily
On federal
marijuana laws
Why this country allows
its citizens to consume alcohol, but not marijuana, is a
bit of a mystery.
Both substances have
mind-altering capabilities.
Both substances, if abused,
can destroy the lives of the
user and anyone who crosses
the user’s path.
But both substances can
be used responsibly and
moderately, according to
Rep. Barney Frank, a
Massachusetts Democrat.
And perhaps most importantly, our government
spends an inordinate amount
of time and money arresting
and prosecuting pot users -about 12 million citizens
have been arrested on a marijuana-related charge since
1965, according to NORML,
an organization that wants
marijuana use to be legalized.
Frank announced recently
that he would introduce a
bill that would decriminalize
the possession of less than a
quarter-pound of marijuana.
Advocates
argue
that
because alcohol is a legal
substance, marijuana should
be, too. Instead, marijuana
should be regulated in the
same way as alcohol, and the
threat of arrest should be
limited for only those whose
use affects someone else,
such as in the case of driving
while intoxicated by the
drug. ...
It would be nice if Frank’s
proposal sparked an honest
debate about the effectiveness of the war on pot, especially in a nation grappling
with the war on terror, wars
in Afghanistan and Iraq and
facing the largest deficit in
its history.

On the electoral
process and
the next elections
Barack Obama’s request
that all Florida and
Michigan delegates be
counted in the Democratic
convention is a gracious gesture, if basically meaningless because he already has
clinched the nomination.
It’s also clever politics,
because the Republican
Party has yet to call off the
restrictions that allow only
half of Florida’s delegates to
count toward the equally
secure nomination of John
McCain.
Score one for the more
nimble Obama campaign.
From here, it is important
for both parties to get a handle on the nomination
process. When both major
parties are at war with their
own state parties and delegates, it’s hard to say they
need to be kinder to the
opposition.
Worse, it is an unhealthy
distraction from the what
should be paramount: nominating presidential candidates. Combined with recent
problems with elections
themselves in a number of
states, including Florida,
there is a growing lack of
confidence in the electoral
process itself. That is supposed to happen in banana
republics, not here. ...
Chicago
Sun-Times
On the presidential
election and race
If and when Sen. Barack
Obama is elected president
of the United States, we
hope he will pull a greenback from his wallet, wave it
in the air and say with pride,
“I don’t look like all those
other presidents on the dollar bills!”
But not now. Not yet.
To say so then will be an
expression of pride in all
America. We as a nation will
have beaten back bigotry to
the point that a black man -judged by the content of his
character, not by the color of
his skin -- has been elected
president.
But to say so now is to
play on race rather than rise
above it, intentionally or not.
Sen. John McCain, though
he has said some silly things
about Obama of late, calls it
playing the race card, and
that’s a fair complaint. ...
We’re also pretty sure
McCain has been sounding
desperate, mocking Obama
as a “celebrity” like Paris
Hilton and as a biblical
prophet like Moses.
But Obama really should
retire that “dollar bill”
schtick.
The first debate between
the candidates -- when we
can hope they will spar on
matters of substance -- is
scheduled for Sept. 26.
It can’t come soon
enough. ...

Will the race issue go back into the closet for the rest
of the presidential campaign? Of course not, so where
do we go from here?
Last week’s dust-up over race between John McCain
and Barack Obama was entirely disappointing. Obama
spoke first about how his opponents would try to “make
you scared of me,” noting that he “doesn’t look like all
those other presidents” on our currency. What Obama
said was true, but he made the tactical mistake of suggesting that McCain was complicit in overtly racial politics.
That gave Rick Davis, McCain’s campaign manager,
the excuse to offer the preposterous charge that Obama
had “played the race card, and he played it from the bottom of the deck.”
Davis’ use of a dreadful cliche brought to mind
George Orwell’s observation that there exists “a huge
dump of worn-out metaphors which have lost all evocative power and are merely used because they save people the trouble of inventing phrases for themselves.”
Nonetheless, the Obama camp was caught short and
the candidate backed off a critique of McCain on race.
McCain largely left the matter to his surrogates. Both
candidates are wary of racial politics. Obama knows that
whites and Latinos will constitute the vast majority of
November’s electorate, and McCain knows that many
swing voters will be turned off by explicit racism. But
the episode was a good example of how indirect and
misleading political talk can be. Like it or not, Obama’s
race is an issue, just as John F. Kennedy’s religion was
an issue in 1960 -- and racism runs deeper in our history than anti-Catholicism.
There is no doubt that two keys to this election are:
How many white and Latino votes will Obama lose
because of his race that a white Democrat would have
won? And how much will African-American turnout
grow, given the opportunity to elect our nation’s first
black president?
Let’s dispose of the canard that there is something
wrong with black people voting in overwhelming numbers for one of their own. Minorities in the U.S. always
turn out in a big way for the candidate breaking barriers
on their behalf.
The most obvious example is John Kennedy, who
won roughly 80 percent of the Catholic vote in 1960,
about 30 percentage points greater than the Catholic
share won four years earlier by Democrat Adlai
Stevenson. Proportionately, Kennedy’s gain among
Catholics was far greater than Obama’s likely pickup
over John Kerry’s 2004 vote among African-Americans,
judging by the current polls.
More broadly, the race issue is used less overtly now
than it used to be. When Democrats were the party of
Jim Crow in the post-Civil War period, many in their
ranks ran ugly, blatantly racist campaigns. Beginning in
1968 with Richard Nixon’s Southern strategy,
Republicans have been far more subtle in playing to
white reaction on race.
Often, the appeal to white unease over race is overlaid with a populist rhetoric against “liberal elitists” who
side with blacks while not understanding the struggles of
the white working class.
William Connolly, a left-of-center political theorist,
wrote an essay in 1981 that brilliantly captured why so
many white working-class voters came to reject liberal
programs.
Connolly argued that such voters saw the welfare
state as turning on them, undermining the values they
espoused and denigrating their efforts at self-reliance.
They saw mandatory school busing as robbing them of
their chance to secure a better education for their children by moving into better school districts. Especially
among lower-income white men, affirmative action
seemed to treat “everyone else” as “meritorious or as
unjustly closed out from the ranks of the meritorious.”
When liberals dismissed such concerns as purely
racist, Connolly noted, “these vulnerable constituencies
did not need too much political coaxing to bite the hand
that had slapped them in the face.”
The great opportunity this year for less scrupulous
Republican strategists is that Obama is both black and a
Columbia-Harvard-educated former professor who
lived in the intellectually rarified precincts of Hyde Park
in Chicago, Manhattan’s Upper West Side and
Cambridge, Mass. They can go after him subtly on race
and overtly on elitism. They can turn the facts of
Obama’s life into mutually reinforcing liabilities.
Is this unfair? Yes it is. But if our nation is to cast off
the shackles of race this year, Obama will have to grapple more than he’d like with the burdens that our history and the past travails of liberalism have forced him to
bear.

Center.
“There has been so much enthusiasm for the
book, which captures the personalities and best
work of the artists all in one place, that a show
all their own was a natural follow-up,” said
Larry Wagner, who has helped plan the show.
“As of the moment we have 76 of the 77 artists
signed up for the show and the 77th is out of
town.”
A meet-the-artist reception will be held during Saturday, Aug. 9, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at

Mendocino Village.
Copies of Wagner’s book will be on sale at
the artist reception. “It will be an opportunity
to meet the artists and get their autograph on

Can you identify countries like Nauru, Palau
and Tuvalu, much less locate them on a map?
The International Olympic Committee lists
them among a record 205 member nations recognized for competition at the 2008 Beijing
Summer Olympic Games, coming to you soon
by way of NBC Universal and its many networks. I always thought some of these obscure
nations had little value beyond creating some
nice postage stamps for philatelists to enjoy,
but they are sending athletes into competition.
Now is the time to brush up on geography.
Speaking by way of satellite to a gathering
of the nation’s TV critics recently, Dick
Ebersol, chairman of NBC Universal Sports &
Olympics, announced that he’s “awed by the
enormity of what’s going on” in Beijing, particularly because the NBC family will provide
a record 3,600 hours of coverage, at least 2,900
hours of it live. Considering that NBC paid
$894 million as the rights fee for broadcast
coverage in the United States, one would hope
that Ebersol is enthusiastic about the 17 days
and nights of what he calls “unscripted
drama.”
You may ask how NBC can provide 3,600
hours of coverage. It’s a fair question in light
of the fact that it would take 90 weeks at a regular 9 to 5 job to watch everything. I don’t
think I can spare that much time, but it works
for NBC Universal, because they will run coverage on NBC, USA, CNBC, MSNBC, and
Telemundo. Of course, NBC’s primetime coverage will focus on the prime traditional sports
of swimming, diving, gymnastics and beach
volleyball, with Bob Costas again acting as the
primetime host. I am not kidding about this,
but even the Oxygen network will carry nightly programming on gymnastics, plus synchronized swimming and the equestrian category.
Only the Sci-Fi Channel is not getting into the
act.
Even with more than a half-dozen networks
and cable outlets, NBC Universal doesn’t have
enough hours in the day to become the most
ambitious single media project in history. So
this is where NBCOlympics.com comes into
the picture, providing additional competition
footage but also being the venue for more
information about the schedules, listings,
news, and biographies of the athletes. This
Internet destination will take every sport and
offer it on-demand, while also offering the best
of daily TV coverage as encores.
There is a 12 hour time difference between
Beijing and New York. As you know, in the
media world, New York is the center of the

universe, so the folks at NBC somehow finagled commitments from the International
Olympic Committee to secure certain finals at
9 or 10 in the morning in China so that they
would go on primetime live in New York. Dick
Ebersol told the TV critics that prime coverage
would be live on the East Coast and in the
Central time zone, leaving the rest of us out
here on the left coast to get our Olympics on a
time delay.
“Historically, we have always shown the
Olympics on tape on the West Coast,” said
Ebersol, noting that roughly 81 to 82 percent of
all households in the United States are in the
Central and Eastern time zones. California
may be the largest state in the union (we have
the electoral votes to prove it), but we don’t
matter as much to the network bigwigs.
Actually, they are taking us for granted,
because as Ebersol noted, people on the West
Coast “love sports so much, and they know
when they want to watch it, and that’s in
primetime.” After extensive research, he figured out most of us are employed and can’t get
home in time to watch something at 4 o’clock.
The NBC executives obviously have high
hopes for the Beijing Olympics. Noting that
the Chinese were second to the Americans on
the gold medal chart in Athens in 2004, NBC
host Bob Costas told the TV critics that “when
Yao Ming leads the Chinese (basketball) team
against the Americans in their very first game
in the second day of competition of the
Olympics, this is going to be like a Super Bowl
atmosphere.” Sensing that he might be succumbing to hype that often afflicts sports
announcers, Costas followed up by saying
“that is not an overstatement.”
On the other hand, Ebersol seems to have
picked up the hyperbolic fever. He thinks the
Chinese curiosity about the Games is not just
about sports. “China’s new to the world in
terms of any level of openness,” he claims, and
then goes on to say that in the seven years
NBC has been in business with Chinese he
“clearly sees change.” Ironically, an AP news
report claims the Chinese are backtracking on
a promise of open press coverage, and that they
have placed blocks on Internet sites in the
Main Press Center and venues where reporters
will work. Hoping or thinking change is afoot
in China is one thing, but it’s a hard notion to
sell in a repressive society.
Politics aside, let’s hope we can share Bob
Costas’ belief and fervent wish that the
Opening Ceremonies, based on what he has
been told by people privileged to have seen the
early plans, will be “uber-spectacular.”
Curiosity will probably take hold of me on

TRIATHLON | 2008 VINEMAN
Local triathlete wins women’s division of “Vineman” contest
By ANTHONY DION
The Daily Journal
The ironman contest, testing an individual’s mental as
well as physical endurance at
almost unparalleled levels, is
one of great prestige throughout the world. Obviously, it is
also one of the most trying
challenges on the human body
that sport has to offer.
This
past
Saturday,
Sonoma County’s “Vineman”
Ironman contest took place
with many local athletes in
attendance along with their
friends
and
family.
Mendocino County in fact,
had a rather high-profile representation.
Former Ukiah High School
graduate from the class of
1998, Whitney Henderson
(formerly Whitney Garcia),
raced to a time of 10 hours, 44
minutes and 42 seconds that
resulted in the fastest time
among the approxiamate 120
women participants. In just
her second ironman race,
Henderson ran “the best race
I’ve ever done” in front of
family and friends in the
Sonoma County Triathlon.
The triathlon comprised of
a 2.4 mile swim in the Russian
River to begin, followed with
an immediate transition to a
112 mile bike ride through the
beautiful
landscape
of
Healdsburg wine country
across the largely hilly terrain
and concluded with a straight
marathon (26.2 miles) run.
There were roughly 500 participants for the race which
began at 6:45 in the morning
and ended at 11 p.m. the same
day.
The bike portion alone
climbs nearly 4,000 feet in
elevation thru Russian River,
Dry Creek, Alexander Valley
and Chalk Hill. Upon finishing the 112 mile bike course,
the athletes begin their
marathon run on a course that
loops thru Healdsburg.
Talk about fatigue. I’m
tired just writing all of that
down.
“To win the overall
women’s division was amazing,” said Henderson. “This
triathlon doesn’t garner too
many professionals because
it’s more of a local race, not as
prestigious as some of the bigger ones, so it gives the average triathlete the chance to
compete and do well.”
Established in 1990 as an
independent and local ironman
competition,
the
“Vineman” has consistently
grown and tested the triathletes that come to test its
strength.
From the website: “In 1990
the Vineman was designed to
be ‘the people’s ironman distance event’ with an emphasis
on making the average athlete’s experience of completing the classic distance the
most enjoyable and personalized as possible. While the
sport of triathlon has changed

PGA TOUR | PGA CHAMPIONSHIP
The final test might be the toughest at PGA
By DOUG FERGUSON
Associated Press
BLOOMFIELD
TOWNSHIP,
Mich. — Rich Beem stood over his
tee shot on the 18th hole during his
final practice session for the PGA
Championship, trained his eye down
the narrow fairway squeezed
between bunkers, waggled his driver
and then backed off.
“This is the hardest hole I’ve ever
played,” he said Wednesday.
Then he smoked his tee shot with
the slightest draw and saw it hop to
the left on a canted fairway and disappear into the bunker.
“And it just got harder,” he said
before walking off.
That was just the 498-yard closing
hole at Oakland Hills.
Beem and the rest of the field at
the final major of the year haven’t
found other parts of the course to be
much easier.
INSIDE:
Indeed, “The Monster” is more
than a nickname at this PGA
Championship,
which
starts
Thursday.
“This is as tough of a setup as I’ve
ever seen,” Steve Stricker said.
The PGA Championship has been
getting positive reviews over the last
several years as the most fair of all
the majors, particularly among the
three in the United States. Phil
Mickelson last week described the
PGA as the major without an ego.
Now, the toughest test in golf
could be the last one.
“The usual setup for the PGA is
more like a tough U.S. tour event,”
British Open champion Padraig
Harrington said. “It’s nearly more
U.S. Open-type that the U.S. Open is
at the moment, if that makes any
sense. It’s actually like they switched
the two of them around this year.”
What makes it so difficult?
It starts with sheer length. The
course has been stretched 318 yards
since the 2004 Ryder Cup, measuring 7,395 yards, the longest in major
championship history for a par 70.
Two of the par 3s are over 235 yards,
so long they have fairways.
“This little pitch-and-putt?” Chad
Campbell said, rolling his eyes. “It’s
brutal. The added length is very difficult.”
But length is nothing new at
majors, for just about every course is
longer than it was. The trouble at
Oakland Hills is the shape of the
greens, which only look large. The
Donald Ross design — since worked
on by Robert Trent Jones for the
1951 U.S. Open and most recently
by Rees Jones — have more contours than just about any course,
including Augusta National. George
McNeill hit putts on the 18th green
that tracked in the shape of a parabo-
la.
And on the way to the green is
uniform rough that doesn’t look that
terrifying until a ball lands in it and
sinks to the bottom. The great mystery this week are the rakes — players have spotted course workers raking the grass toward the tee, making
it stand up like a fresh crew cut on a
Marine recruit.
“It doesn’t seem long because
you’ve just come from Birkdale,”
Geoff Ogilvy said, referring to the
site of the British Open. “But it’s 4
inches, and thick enough. If you’re
more than 100 yards, you’re not
going to get to the green from too
many lies.”
Rocco Mediate was playing the
18th early Wednesday — his only
nine holes of practice — when one of
his tee shots strayed to the right. His
caddie went looking for it, and when
he finally found it, picked it up and
said, “No good over here. Make a
note of that.”
Predicting a score is pointless
because no one knows how the PGA
of America will set it up when scores
start counting Thursday. But wherever they put the tees and pins, Oakland
Hills has gotten the players’ attention.
“The whole golf course really
feels and plays like a major should,”
Ernie Els said before going out for
one last look. “So I think we’re in for
a tough week. But a very fair week.”
Els is among those trying to make
sure his season does not end without
a major. He finally won again in the
United States at the Honda Classic,
but hasn’t done much since and is
hopeful his recent work with Butch
Harmon starts to take hold.
Harmon is a popular man these
days. He also is working with

RENO, Nev. (AP) —
Reno’s
McQueen
High
School will become the first
in Washoe County to randomly test its football players for
drugs after county school
board trustees unanimously
approved a pilot program to
begin this fall.
“If it has the potential to
help some kids, even one kid,
then I’m all for it,” trustee
Jody Ruggiero said.
Southern Nevada’s Green
Valley High tested athletes
late year and about a halfdozen schools in Clark
County plan to do so in the
coming season, said Ken
Cass, director of student services for the Washoe County
School District.
At McQueen, urine samples will be tested during the
15-week football season that
begins Aug. 29.
Each week, 12 players —
seven varsity, three junior varsity and two freshmen — will
be selected randomly for a test
that screens for 14 drugs
including alcohol, marijuana
and anabolic steroids.
Each test by national testing company Sport Safe costs
$37 and will be paid by the
McQueen football program.
Some school board members said their support was
strengthened because the
McQueen community was
behind it.
“The possibility of getting
caught is a pretty good deterrent, as far as I’m concerned,”
Trustee Dan Carne said. “I’d
like to see us support the parents and coaches of McQueen
who say they’d like to try
this.”
Hayes said that any player
testing positive would receive
intervention within a week.
Players must adhere to
their Nevada Interscholastic
Activities Association contract which prohibits the use
or possession of drugs, alcohol and tobacco. A first violation results in a suspension of
six competitive weeks of play.
A second violation brings a
90-day suspension, a substance abuse evaluation and a
substance abuse intervention
program. A third violation
makes them ineligible for the
rest of their high school
careers.

“(Lincecum’s) got some of

catcher Brian McCann, who
had three of the Braves’ five

he’s tough to hit.”
Randy Winn added four
hits including the 1,500th of
his career and scored twice for
the Giants, who won for the
fourth time in six games after
going 4-8 following the AllStar break.

player reach double digits in

make it 3-0.
Atlanta scored its runs on

activate reliever
Keiichi Yabu from
DL
SAN FRANCISCO (AP)
— The Giants activated righthanded reliever Keiichi Yabu
from the 15-day disabled list
Wednesday and recalled
righty Billy Sadler from
Triple-A Fresno.
To make room on the roster, San Francisco optioned
reliever Osiris Matos to
Fresno and designated righthander Sergio Romo for
assignment.
The Giants plan to send
Romo to Fresno if he clears
trade waivers. According to
major league rules, he can’t be
optioned while on trade
waivers, the team said.
Yabu was 3-4 with a 3.64
ERA in 40 appearances before
going on the DL on July 20
with a strained middle finger
on his pitching hand. He
threw a bullpen session this
week and the Giants wanted
to see how he responded
before making a move.
“He threw a pretty good
bullpen the other day and
those guys were fresh in the
’pen so we decided it would
be better to give him another
day,” manager Bruce Bochy
said. “Matos and Romo have
done a good job. It was more
of a case that Yabu was ready
to come off the DL and
Sadler’s been throwing very
well.”
Sadler struggled during a
19-game stint with the Giants
earlier this season but most
recently was 1-0 with a 1.09
ERA in 22 games for Fresno.

Scott is among four players

“Glory’s Last Shot,” and what
gives this major even more of
a sense of urgency is that
players have to wait seven
months until the next one.
Tiger Woods likely will be
in the field for the Masters, so
this also might be the last time
not having to worry about
him. Woods is the two-time
defending champion of the
PGA Championship, winning
last year by three shots over
Woody Austin at Southern
Hills.
“It’s an opportunity for a
lot of guys,” Els said. “You
look at guys who have not
won majors, who at my age
(38) or even past my age who
are playing well this year.
They can break through.
There’s a lot of guys playing
very good golf.”
From what they’ve seen
this week, they better be playing great.a
NFL | RAIDERS CAMP
Bush excited for Raiders exhibition opener
By JOSH DUBOW
Associated Press
NAPA — Michael Bush is
tired of watching after spending nearly two years on the
sideline while his teammates
got to play football.
Bush has not played in any
game since breaking his right
leg in the season opener of his
final college season at
Louisville in 2006. He missed
the rest of that college season
and all of his rookie campaign
with the Oakland Raiders in
the NFL, putting special
meaning on his exhibition
opener against San Francisco
on Friday night.
“I didn’t think it’d be this
long,” Bush said. “I was told
six months, seven months. It
turned out to be two years
now. So I’m just ready to get
out there and get it going
again.”
Bush was considered one
of the top running backs in the
country before breaking his
leg against Kentucky on Sept.
3, 2006. He was coming off a
junior season in which he ran
for 1,143 yards and an
NCAA-leading 23 touchdowns, and was being projected as a possible first-round
pick in the 2007 NFL draft.
Instead he began a long
rehabilitation process that has
taken far longer than he
expected. The leg didn’t heal
quickly enough from the original operation, leading to a
second surgery about a month
before the draft. That helped
lead to Bush’s slide into the
fourth round, where the
Raiders were happy to take a
chance on a talented player.
He originally hoped to be
ready for training camp last
year but instead started off on
the physically unable to perform list, where he remained
once the season started.
Bush said he felt ready to
return a few weeks into the
season but never got the
chance as the Raiders eventually placed him on injured
reserve because they had too
many other running backs in
Justin Fargas, LaMont Jordan
Vineman
dramatically over the past
decade and a half, the soul of
the Vineman remains the
same.”
Its name derives from the
breathtaking scenery that
envelops the entire course as
competitors swim, bike and
and Dominic Rhodes.
Bush got to practice with
his teammates for a few weeks
last year before being placed
on injured reserve. He admitted it was tough watching his
teammates play football while
he could only work on back
fields, but hopes it pays off
this season.
“It was like I was training,
basically, to one day get on
the field,” he said. “There
weren’t any low points. I was
out there basically focusing
on my conditioning, just trying to get right in every aspect
of the game as far as quick
speed. And still I was in the
meeting rooms as well. Just
being in locker room with the
guys as well was pretty cool
as well.”
Bush is now part of a
crowded
backfield
in
Oakland, which includes a
1,000-yard rusher in Fargas
and heralded rookie Darren
McFadden. Bush believes he
has shown the coaches he is
100 percent by the way he can
run and cut in drills.
He got coach Lane Kiffin
especially excited in a drill
early in training camp, when
he lowered his shoulders into
the pile in a full-pad goal-line
drill. Kiffin wants to see more
of the same in the game
against the 49ers on Friday as
he hopes that Bush can be the
short-yardage back this season.
“He’s 246 pounds, don’t
run like a 200 pounder, and
see what we have,” Kiffin
said. “We got a glimpse of
him in the goal line situation,
and hopefully that’s who he is
and that’s who he needs to be
to be able to play for us. He’s
the one big guy we have, and
if he can do what we hope he
can do I think we’re in a real
good position there.
Bush got singled out for
praise by Kiffin after
Wednesday’s practice for
picking up Gibril Wilson on a
blitz and running physical.
Bush knows he will need to
show more of those skills in
order to get on the field this
run through Sonoma County’s
wine country
Henderson said she trained
for a full year in preparation
for the race and has only raced
in one other ironman competition before -- the popular
Hawaii Ironman in 2005.

“That’s not a problem for
me. I can be a bruiser if I need
to be. I just basically play the
game, I’ve been playing it for
a long time. I’ll drop my
shoulders if I need to, if not, I
won’t,” he said. “In goal line
and stuff like that, you need to
run like a big guy. You need,
third and short yardage, you
need to lean forward and get
your head down. That’s what
you need to do as a running

Favre trade talk
heating up as
Packers move on
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP)
— Green Bay Packers general
manager Ted Thompson was
not
seen
at
practice
Wednesday morning, and his
scheduled early afternoon
media availability was postponed — one of several signs
a trade involving Brett Favre
might be brewing.
Favre’s Mississippi-based
agent, James “Bus” Cook,
told the Jackson (Miss.)
Clarion-Ledger Wednesday
morning that a trade, either to
Tampa Bay or the New York
Jets, might happen as soon as
this morning.
“Brett’s ready to go play,”
Cook told the paper at 11:25
a.m. EDT. “It looks like it’s
going to be New York or
Tampa Bay. We’re waiting to
find out and we could learn in
the next hour or so.”
Tampa Bay coach Jon
Gruden refused to address
speculation that the team was
on the verge of a deal for
Favre.
Meanwhile, Packers coach
Mike McCarthy said he was
happy the rest of his players
were getting a chance to move
on.
“It’s time for it to be over,”
cornerback Charles Woodson
said Tuesday. “It’s gone on
long enough.”

COLLEGE FOOTBALL | PAC-10 PREVIEW
Southern California once
again favorite in Pac-10
By JOSH DUBOW
Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — The
Pac-10 has long been a conference known for its talented
quarterbacks and high-powered offenses.
That’s what makes the
uncertainty at quarterback so
many teams are facing at the
start of fall practice so unsettling to many teams.
Only
Arizona
State,
Arizona and Washington
opened fall practice with
returning starters at quarterback entrenched in their jobs.
Everyone else is either
breaking in a new starter such
as Mark Sanchez at Southern
California, challenging a former one like the competition
between Nate Longshore and
Kevin Riley at California, or
hoping a young one will take
the job like Nate Costa at
Oregon.
“I would say that the team
with the experience at quarterback probably has the lead
going in because the experience at that position is so
important,” Cal coach Jeff
Tedford said. “When you’re
breaking in a new quarterback, there’s always a growing process.”
USC figures to be an
exception to that rule.
The Trojans have done well
with first-year starters at quarterback in the past under Pete
Carroll, winning a share of the
national title with Matt
Leinart in 2003 and finishing
fourth overall in the country
with John David Booty in
2006.
Sanchez has made only
three career starts, winning
two of them while Booty was
hurt last season, and has
thrown just seven touchdown
passes to six interceptions.
But he has the most talented roster in the league surrounding him, including linebacker Rey Maualuga, running back Joe McKnight, and
receiver Patrick Turner, and
the confidence of his teammates.
“He’s a playmaker from the
quarterback position,” USC
linebacker Brian Cushing
said. “Mark will be a lot better
this year. He knows it’s his
time. The year of maturity
where he’s had a little experience means a lot.”
The team best positioned to
challenge the Trojans this season could be Arizona State
because of the experience of
Rudy Carpenter at quarterback.
Carpenter has made 31
straight starts for the Sun
Devils, throwing 25 touchdown passes last season to
help Arizona State tie the
Trojans for the regular season
title.
Washington coach Tyrone
Willingham and Arizona
coach Mike Stoops have similar feelings about their own
returning starters in Huskies
sophomore Jake Locker and
Wildcats
senior
Willie
Tuitama.
The rest of the teams know
it will be a growing process at
quarterback.
“You’ve got to have support people because the quarterback can’t do it on their
own,” Oregon coach Mike
Bellotti said. “It’s a dogfight
and you have to protect your
players and be healthy.”
A capsule look at the teams
in predicted order of finish:
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA — Key players: LB Rey
Maualuga, Sr.; FS Taylor
Mays, Jr.; RB Joe McKnight,
Soph.; DL Fili Moala, Sr.
Returning starters: 4 offense,
7 defense.
Notes: Offensive line features four new starters but talented backfield of McKnight,
C.J. Gable and Stafon
Johnson should make transition easier. ... Strength of the
defense is in the back seven,
led by Maualuga, Mays,
Cushing, and S Kevin Ellison.
... Home game against Ohio
State on Sept. 13 highlights
nonconference slate and could
play big role in determining
who makes BCS title game.
ARIZONA STATE — Key
players: QB Rudy Carpenter,
Sr.; RB Keegan Herring, Sr.;
DE Dexter Davis, Jr.; K-P
Thomas
Weber,
Soph.
7 defense.
Notes: Mike Jones (10 TDs
last season) and Chris
McGaha (61 catches) lead a
talented receiving corps. ...
Weber made 24 of 25 field
goals as a freshman and won
the Lou Groza Award as
nation’s top kicker. ... A home
win over Georgia on Sept. 20
could vault Sun Devils into
national title picture.
CALIFORNIA — Key
players: C Alex Mack, Sr.; LB
Zach Follett, Sr.; RB Jahvid
Best, Soph.; DL Rulon Davis,
Sr. Returning starters: 5
offense, 7 defense.
Notes: Expectations are
down after Golden Bears lost
six of final seven games after
having a chance to become
No. 1 in the nation last year. ...
Best (7.6 ypc) showed flashes
of brilliance as a freshman but
must recover from a hip
injury. ... Florida transfer
Nyan Boateng will be counted
on at receiver after talented
trio of DeSean Jackson,
Lavelle Hawkins and Robert
Jordan left for NFL.
OREGON — Key players:
S Patrick Chung, Sr.; DE Nick
Reed, Sr.; C Max Unger, Sr.;
RB Jeremiah Johnson, Sr.
7 defense.
Notes: Loss of QB Dennis
Dixon and RB Jonathan
Stewart leaves big holes on an
offense that led conference in
scoring. ... Junior college
transfer RB LaGarrette Blount
could make an immediate
impact.
ARIZONA — Key players:
QB Willie Tuitama, Sr.; TE
Rob Gronkowski, Soph.; WR
Mike Thomas, Sr.; OT Eben
Britton, Jr. Returning starters:
10 offense, 3 defense.
Notes: Coach Mike Stoops
has not had a winning season
in four years at Tucson and
could be on his way out if he
can’t reverse that trend and
lead the Wildcats to their first
bowl game in 10 years. ...
Offense is set with Tuitama,
Gronkowski and Thomas, but
defense must figure out how
to replace eight starters,
including star CB Antoine
Cason.
UCLA — Key players: RB
Kahlil Bell, Sr.; K Kai
Forbath, Soph.; LB Reggie
Carter, Jr. Returning starters:
Notes:
Coach
Rick
Neuheisel returns to the head
coaching ranks at his alma
mater and brings heralded former USC offensive coordinator Norm Chow with him. ...
Ben Olson could be challenged for starting QB job by
junior college transfer Kevin
Craft.
OREGON STATE — Key
players:
WR
Sammie
Stroughter, Sr.; CB Brandon
Hughes, Sr.; OT Andy
Levitre, Sr. Returning starters:
Notes: Beavers have been
slow starters and fast finishers
in recent years. With road
games at Stanford and Penn
State to open the schedule,
Oregon State will need to be
sharp early. .... Stroughter was
limited to three games last
year because of a kidney
injury, but was granted a medical hardship to come back.
WASHINGTON — Key players: QB Jake Locker, Soph.;
LB E.J. Savannah. Jr.; S
Mesphin
Forrester,
Sr.
6 defense.
Notes: The pressure is on
coach Tyrone Willingham
after posting only 11 wins in
his first three seasons. A brutal
nonconference schedule that
features Oklahoma, BYU and
Notre
Dame
makes
Willingham’s job even more
difficult. ... Locker is the leading returning rusher in the
league at 82.2 yards per game.
STANFORD — Key players: WR Richard Sherman, Jr.;
LB Clinton Snyder, Jr.; C
Alex Fletcher, Sr.; DL Pannel
Egboh, Sr. Returning starters:
Notes:
Coach
Jim
Harbaugh tries to build off a
debut season highlighted by
big wins over USC and Cal. ...
Tavita Pritchard, who engineered the win over the
Trojans, is competing for
starting QB job with Alex
Loukas and Jason Forcier.

BLUE JAYS 4 | A’S 3
Mench, Blue Jays beat Athletics in ninth
TORONTO (AP) — Kevin
Mench singled in the winning
run with two outs in the ninth
inning and the Toronto Blue
Jays extended the Athletics’
season-long losing streak to
eight games, beating Oakland
4-3 on Tuesday night.
Toronto trailed 3-2 heading
into the bottom of the ninth
against Oakland closer Huston
Street. Alex Rios led off with
a single and scored one out
later when Rod Barajas doubled over the head of left
fielder Ryan Sweeney.
Adam Lind was walked
intentionally and Scott Rolen
advanced both runners with an
infield chopper before Mench
lined the first pitch he saw
into the left-center field alley,
scoring Barajas.
Street (2-5) blew his sixth
save of the season.
Jesse Carlson (4-1) got two
outs to earn the victory.
Carlos Gonzalez had a
career-high four hits for the
Athletics, who have lost six
straight road games and are a
major league worst 2-15 since
the All-Star break.
Oakland rookie reliever
Brad Ziegler worked two
shutout innings, extending his
scoreless innings streak to 34.
It’s the longest scoreless
streak to begin a career in
modern major league history
(since 1900), and just four
inning shy of the Oakland
team record of 37 scoreless
innings, set by Mike Torres in
1976.
The Athletics took a 1-0
lead in the second when
Gonzalez doubled and scored
on a single by Mark Ellis, but
Toronto tied it in the bottom
half when Barajas singled and
came around on Lind’s triple.
A two-out, two-run triple
by Bobby Crosby gave
Oakland a 3-1 lead in the
fourth, but Toronto got one
back in the fifth on Marco
Scutaro’s RBI single.
Seeking an insurance run,
Oakland loaded the bases
against reliever Brandon
League with nobody out in the
eighth, but came up empty
when
shortstop
John
McDonald made a diving
catch on Ellis’ liner, then
threw from his knees to double up pinch runner Emil
Brown off second base. Jack
Hannahan ended the inning by
grounding out.
Oakland left-hander Greg
Smith allowed two runs and
four hits in six innings.
Making his second start of
the season, Blue Jays righthander Scott Richmond
allowed three runs and seven
hits in 5 2-3 innings.
Oakland’s Jack Cust made
the defensive play of the
game, leaping against the wall
in left to snare a liner from
Barajas for the final out of the
sixth.
NOTEBOOK: A’s add
LHP Gonzalez, send RHP
Gallagher for MRI
TORONTO (AP) — The
Oakland Athletics purchased
the contract of left-hander Gio
Gonzalez from Triple-A
Sacramento, promoting him in
time to make his major league
debut Wednesday night
against the Toronto Blue Jays.
The Athletics began the day
with an eight-game losing
streak.
Infielder Gregorio Petit
was optioned to Triple-A to
make room for Gonzalez.
Third baseman Eric Chavez,
who will undergo season-ending shoulder surgery next
week, was transferred from
the 15-day disabled list to the
60-day DL.
The A’s also said right-hander Sean Gallagher, acquired
from the Chicago Cubs last
month, returned to California
this week for an MRI exam
because of irritation in his
right shoulder.
The 22-year-old Gonzalez
was 8-7 with a 4.24 ERA at
Triple-A, where he struck out
128 in 123 innings. He
pitched eight shutout innings
last Friday in a victory over
Nashville.
Manager Bob Geren said
Gallagher’s condition is considered minor, and said he will
not need to go on the disabled
list.

Film
China must rid this country of
this evil mummy before it gets
powerful and can’t be
stopped.
I really thought this film
for a sequel had a great storyline, however I felt that it definitely needed a bit of work on
progression of characters and
a change of cast.
First off I do not think
under any circumstances “The
Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon
Emperor” should not have
been shot without Rachel
Weisz. She is such a great
actress and has been with the
last two films so much that I
don’t think it was right, even
with her having too many projects for her to take this project on, I think that Maria
Bello just wasn’t the right person. If she would have been
playing this part from the
beginning it would have been
fine, but all I could see when
watching this film was Weisz
playing the character and was
disappointed to see anyone
different.
Then as time went on it
seemed as if Bello, instead of
levels of promotion based
upon the level of donation.
Sponsors will also be recognized through banners at
the event. Sponsorships and
donations of prizes are gratefully accepted. Those interested in sponsoring this event
can learn more about sponsorship by visiting the website at

help keep the music alive and
keep the doors of the Boys &

This Saturday the Ukiah Music
Center is presenting one of the most
eclectic, artistic and innovative musicians and educators in Northern
California John Mattern with his new
ensemble at the ‘Acoustic Café’ concert
stage. The gates open at 6 p.m. with the
music beginning around 7 p.m. at the
Ukiah Music Center located at 745 N.
State St. in Ukiah.
This will be a bit of a journey back to
his roots, playing folk, blues, country
and western guitar picking, with a dash
of jazz blues and Count Basie swing on
saxophone, as well as a bit of Earl
Scruggs on banjo. The evening will feature a handful of new compositions by
one of Ukiah’s local favorite musicians
Mattern on vocals-guitar and piano, as
well as some covers ranging from
Johnny Cash to Count Basie and Muddy
Waters.
On piano will be Lee Bloom, San
Francisco pianist, and long time collaborator with Mattern. Lee was the featured
pianist on Mattern’s debut Jazz Album
“Afrosano” released in 2004. On Bass
and drums will be Matt Davis and Eric
Ehrenpfort respectively. Two very versatile rhythm section players with many
years of jazz, blues and country-blues
experience. On guitar and pedal steel
guitar and banjo will be Lake County
great, Pat Ickes. An incredibly versatile
musician with a very strong background
in blues and country and western styles.
“Pedal steel guitar is one of my favorite
instruments, it is so expressive and fluid,
and Pat is an amazing musician. A real
local gem of a musician,” says Mattern.
Mattern has the unique ability to
interpret styles from Gershwin to
Coltrane, J. S. Bach to Dexter Gordon
and even the folk styles of banjo innovator, Earl Scruggs. John grew up in Ukiah
California, initially developing his musical skills playing the five-string banjo.
He is also an aspiring singer-songwriterguitarist. Ten years as a music educator
in the Ukiah area, Mattern is now the
John Mattern
director of music at Redwood High in
Larkspur Calif.
Donation seating is $10 and you can
get tickets at the Ukiah Music Center or
online at ukiahmusic.com. Since this is a
small space, seating will fill quickly, so
be sure to show up early enough to get a
seat. For more information on the series,
please go to Ukiahmusic.com or call
462-8863.

making this part her own,
acted just as Weisz would play
it and it just did not fit her
image. It reminded me of her
playing a peppy version of a
‘50s style “Meet the
Cleavers” mom where the
world is perfect and fake. It
just wasn’t the same.
Among small pieces in the
film it generally had a great
plot and interesting set up.
Special effects were really
good and did a good job being
put together.
Time framing was kind of
odd for having the last film
about seven years ago and
basically jumping about 10
years making the son over 18
and in college.
I definitely think they
could have made the story
better and even funnier if Alex
was younger.
In conclusion I recommend
this movie to anyone who
loved the first two films, but
keep in mind it is quite different and if going to see it, as
long as there is not too much
anticipation on it being the
same as the first two, it will be
liked.

Life is never optimal, so
don’t expect everything to go
perfectly in the year ahead.
However, if you roll with the
punches, you’ll make fewer
waves and things will run
much smoother than they
would otherwise.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -It’s marvelous to be able to
operate in a free and independent manner, but this isn’t
always possible if you are a
responsible individual. This
might be one of those times
when duty calls.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22) -- Should you have to
deal with someone who
recently made you bitter
about something, don’t be
your own worse enemy and
let this past incident hamper
your thinking. Put it behind
you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
-- Steer clear of people who
have been known to make
demands of your time and
money. Nothing will have
changed, and you could once
again be maneuvered into an
all-give-and-no-get position.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
22) -- Gratify your ambitions, but only in a manner in
which you would be proud to
talk about later. The end must
always justify the means; it’s
not the other way around.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov.
23-Dec. 21) -- Methods and
procedures that have proven
to be unproductive in the past
will hammer out zeros once

David Duchovny (1960-), actor, is 48;
Charlize Theron (1975-), actress, is 33;
Sidney Crosby (1987-), hockey player, is

TODAY’S SPORTS: In 2007, Barry
Bonds of the San Francisco Giants hit his
756th career home run, surpassing the
record set by Hank Aaron.
again. It’s time to learn from
your past mistakes, not to
repeat them.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19) -- Be merely an
observer rather than an eager
participant in the complex
affairs of another who is having a difficult time. Stand
back from this person’s troubles; don’t invite complications into your life.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 19) -- Unusual stress in
a relationship might be
something you could have to
deal with. If someone opposes you without reason, keep
your cool and be tolerant, not
feisty.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March
20) -- Trouble at work could
arise if your way of doing

something is totally different
from that of your boss. Stop
and think twice before biting
the hand that signs your paycheck.
ARIES (March 21-April
19) -- You have a tendency to
allow your emotions to prevail over your common sense
and waste money on frivolous activities. Break this
pattern now.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20) -- There is a strong
chance that a favorite activity
could be in conflict with your
mate’s plans, so check with
him or her first before you
take it upon yourself to move
on it.
GEMINI (May 21-June
20) -- You’re an observant
person, but if you use your
sharp eye to focus only on
the negative aspects of others, you are not likely to be
very popular. Leave your
black cloud at home.
CANCER (June 21-July
22) -- You can plan on ending
with far less than you start if
you insist upon mismanaging
your resources. All the
excuses in the world won’t
make up for this wastefulness.

Woman is trying to find trust for her husband of many years
ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: I have been married more
than 30 years. I’ve worked hard to keep
myself attractive for my husband, but he has
told me repeatedly I am not what he wants
sexually, even though he expects me to be
available to him at all times.
There have been a couple of infidelities. At
a time when I needed to rebuild my trust, I
discovered quite a bit of porn on our computer and visits to websites where you can meet
others for sex. I told my husband this undermined my attempts to trust him and he agreed
to stop. After several months of not finding
anything, I quit checking until last week
when I discovered he’s again viewing online
porn and bringing up profiles of women in
our area who are advertising sex.
This sickens me. I feel betrayed. I may be
a bit of a prude by today’s standards, but I do
enjoy sex. I also know men like to look at
porn and view it differently than women. But
I also wonder if that is why my husband is
dissatisfied with me. I don’t live up to his
By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
sexual expectations. He once asked me to sit
naked in a chair so he could stare at me. It
made me feel as if I were being displayed on
one of his porn sites. This bothers me and
also feels wrong spiritually. Am I being too
rigid? -- No Name or State
Dear No Name: What two consenting
adults do in the privacy of their own home is
entirely up to them. The real problem is that
your husband doesn’t respect you. Please ask
him to come with you for counseling. A counselor will help you consider the benefits of
being more sexually adventurous, and will
work with your husband on recognizing that
his demeaning attitude undermines every

aspect of your relationship. As always, if he
won’t go, go without him.
Dear Annie: Several years ago, I took out
a huge loan to pay for my daughter’s college
tuition. She is now working full time and
making a good salary.
The problem is, due to some financial setbacks, I could really use her help to pay back
the loan. Would I be wrong to ask her? She
has never offered to help and we are not the
best of friends. -- Stuck in Debt
Dear Stuck: It can’t hurt to ask, as long as
you can accept “no” for an answer. We realize this doesn’t seem fair, but paying for a
child’s college tuition is generally a parent’s
choice and you didn’t stipulate any repayment. The fact that you don’t have a good
relationship with your daughter makes it
more difficult for her to want to bail you out
now, especially if those “financial setbacks”
are of your own making. But we hope she
will come through.
Dear Annie: My life partner, “Michelle,”
is going through an emotionally painful time
in her life. We are in a same-sex relationship.
My family is loving and supportive.
Michelle’s family is a different story.
She came out to them a few months ago
because she was tired of lying and not being
able to share her partner and adopted son
with her family. She wanted the baby to know
his grandparents and relatives. It didn’t go
over well. Her mother is hateful and vindictive. Her father, with whom she was very
close, told her to pretend it never happened
and that she is never to mention me or the
baby to him. Her brother and his wife make
excuses to keep her from visiting their children.
Michelle has been playing by these rules
for a few months and I can’t bear to see her
in so much pain. She is a caring, beautiful
soul who deserves so much more. I was
raised to believe family is a gift from God to
be treasured. Please print my letter so they
will wake up -- West Virginia
Dear West Va.: This is heartbreaking, and
unfortunately, there is no magic potion to
knock some sense into her family members.
Thank goodness she has such a loving and
supportive partner. We hope, in time, her
family will come around.

NEWSPAPER
ADVERTISING
With so many advertising
mediums dividing the attention of
potential customers, newspapers
remain the most effective source
for reaching consumers. Why?
Simply put, newspapers reach
more people, more often. Highly
portable and highly visible,
newspaper ads go with people
and stay with them.
That means your business is more
likely to be on their minds when
they’re in the market for related
products or services. When it
comes to spending your
advertising dollars, make the
choice that’s tried and true:
Newspaper advertising works
harder for you.
To advertise, call today

Nine missing, feared dead in fire helicopter crash
Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — Nine people are presumed dead in the crash of
a helicopter that was carrying firefighters over the Shasta-Trinity
National Forest, officials said
Wednesday.
The crash happened Tuesday
night just after the helicopter picked
up firefighters, who had been battling a blaze north of Junction City,
from a clearing in a remote, rugged
region of the forest, said Jennifer
Rabuck, spokeswoman for the U.S.
Forest Service.
The helicopter was carrying 11
firefighters and two crew members
when it went down, according to the
Federal Aviation Administration and
National Transportation Safety
Board. Four people were airlifted to
hospitals with severe burns, according to the Forest Service.
FAA spokesman Ian Gregor said
the Sikorsky S-61N chopper was
destroyed by fire after crashing
“under unknown circumstances.”
The NTSB, which is leading the
investigation, was headed to the
scene, about 215 miles northwest of
Sacramento.
Firefighters who were waiting to
be picked up helped rescue the four
injured people after the helicopter
crashed around 7:45 p.m. and caught
fire, Rabuck said. About three dozen
firefighters had to spend the night on
the mountain because it became too
dark for other helicopters to land, she
said.
Nine people — a co-pilot and
eight firefighters — were still missing in the wreckage and presumably
killed. Recovery efforts have been
complicated by the crash site’s
remote location, and the wreckage is
still burning, Rabuck said.
“It’s difficult to access,” she said.
“It’s very remote, very steep and
heavily forested.”
The firefighters had been working
at the north end of a more than 27square-mile fire burning in the
Shasta-Trinity National Forest, part
of a larger complex of blazes that
total 135 square miles. The complex
was about 87 percent contained.
“We are praying for the swift
recovery of all the victims, and our
hearts go out to their loved ones,”
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said
Wednesday.
Some of the firefighters, including
those in the hospital, were employed
by firefighting contractor Grayback
Forestry, based in Merlin, Ore. Mike
Wheelock, Grayback’s founder and
owner, would not confirm any
deaths.
Grayback firefighters Michael
Brown, 20, and Jonathan Frohreich,
18, as well as a co-pilot of the helicopter, were being treated at UC
Davis
Medical
Center
in
Sacramento, according to the contractor. Brown was upgraded to fair
condition late Wednesday and
Frohreich remained in critical condition, according to the hospital and
fire officials.
A spokesman said the hospital
also was treating a crash victim in
critical condition named William
Coultas, but could not confirm
whether the patient was the helicopter’s co-pilot.
Leora
Frohreich,
Jonathan
Frohreich’s grandmother, said this
was the young man’s first time working as a wildland firefighter and that
the experience had persuaded him to
further his education. He planned to
attend a mechanics school this fall.
He had worked on a fire near
Williams, Ore., for three weeks and
then was on the Shasta-Trinity fire
for four days, the grandmother said.
His crew was being flown out for
some rest when the helicopter
crashed, she said.
“I’m so thankful because he’s just
lucky to be alive,” Frohreich said,
adding that the firefighter’s parents,
sister and girlfriend had gone to
Sacramento to be with him. “You
can’t be in a crash like that and not
hurt.”
Another Grayback employee,
identified as Rick Schoeder, 42, was
in serious but stable condition at
Mercy Medical Center in Redding,
officials said.
The helicopter was owned and
operated by Carson Helicopters Inc.,
Fair
a Pennsylvania company whose firefighting operations are based in
Grants Pass, Ore. All 12 of the company’s helicopters are being used for
firefighting
in
Oregon
and
California, said Bob Madden,
Carson’s director of corporate
affairs.
Madden said the helicopter’s two
co-pilots were Carson employees —
one was hospitalized and the other
was among the missing. The company would not release their names
until officials confirmed their identities and notified family members.
Meanwhile, fire crews were busy
containing a series of fires sparked
by an electrical storm that generated
an estimated 2,000 lightning strikes
in Northern California, southern
Oregon and western Nevada on
Tuesday and Wednesday, said Basil
Newmerzhycky, a Forest Service
meteorologist in Redding.
The lightning storm set off at least
a “few dozen” small fires across the
region, none of which had grown
into major blazes so far,
Newmerzhycky said. By contrast, a
massive lightning storm on June 21
generated about 8,000 strikes that
sparked more 2,000 fires that
became the largest fire event in
California history.
The storm stoked a complex of
blazes in rural Butte County that
threatened about 70 homes. It more
than doubled in size to 4 square

Redwood Empire Fairgrounds CEO and fair
manager.
Brad’s World of Reptiles is even featuring a 7foot long albino python named “Good Girl” for
people to hold on their shoulders if they choose.
For those who prefer to not touch reptiles,
there is a free petting zoo complete with furry
friendly animals such as goats, baby deer, sheep,
a small pig, a donkey, a llama, ducks and chickens. These fuzzy farm animals come straight
from a private farm in Oregon, which also runs a
public petting zoo called “The Farm.” Emily
Owen of The Farm brought these animals from
Oregon to participate in the petting zoo and also
provided the animals for this year’s GASCAR
animal races, where goats, sheep and other animals will race while attached to little carts.
Other free attractions are the kids’ arts and
crafts tables, where different crafts will be available to do and the children will have something to
take home. There will also be a magician appearing to not only perform magic tricks, but teach
them to children in the audience as well. Along
with the magician, a clown duo known as
“Mouse and Daisy” will be performing various
times throughout the weekend, and “Safari
Sadie” will be taking kids on a free jungle safari,
right at the fairgrounds.
A “diaper derby” will also be held for those
with babies who are still crawling and not yet
walking to participate in a crawling race. There
will be a few different heats and the winner takes
home a brand new washing machine.
There are also the regular free events that are
one of the key attractions in fairs: the animal
shows and judging. This year, there is a rabbit
show where young children can show their rabbits for a judging and prizes.
“I had some good rabbits so I wanted to show
dence cannot be processed
until the test results come
back.
“We can’t move forward
until we have a cause of
death,” he said.
Asked if this case has generated any extra level of
miles after firefighters were forced to
briefly retreat from unpredictable
winds unleashed by passing thunderclouds, state fire officials said. That
fire was about 20 percent contained
Wednesday.
A wildfire outside Yosemite
National Park that was started July
25 by a person taking target shooting
practice was completely contained
by Wednesday morning, after
destroying 30 homes and consuming
about 53 square miles in Mariposa
County. Officials revised their count
of homes destroyed again — up from
28 — after surveying the damage.
Schwarzenegger also declared a
state of emergency in Humboldt
County on Wednesday because of the
unhealthy air quality caused by fires
there. It’s one of 13 county emergency declarations the governor has
declared this year due to the blazes.
Before Tuesday’s helicopter
crash, three firefighters had been
killed while on duty in California
this year, including one firefighter
also assigned to battle the ShastaTrinity blazes who was killed late
last month by a falling tree.
On July 2, a volunteer firefighter
in Mendocino County died of heart
attack on the fire line. Another firefighter from Washington state was
killed July 26 in Siskiyou County
when he was burned while scouting a
fire.
forensic investigation, Van
Patten said a standard series
of steps are typically taken by
pathologists in their investigations. No arrests have been
made, but detectives are
investigating Long’s death as
suspicious in nature.
Anyone with information is
urged to contact Sheriff’s
Detective J.D. Comer at 9612692.

the Redwood Empire Fair.
them. I get to learn a lot of stuff too,” said 8-yearold Ryan Lacount, showing his rabbit Zack. This
is Ryan’s first year showing rabbits in the fair.
This year’s fair has many events and attractions, so everyone can find something enjoyable
there. “The most challenging part of this is
putting together the vision of what the fair is
going to be and sharing it to provide something
for everyone, and this year something is here for
everyone,” Seward said.
Fair admission costs $7 for adults, and $4 for
juniors and seniors 65 and over.
REDDING — A 35-yearold Oakland woman remains
in serious condition after tumbling into a fissure on a
Mount Shasta ice field over
the weekend.
Olga
Teslenko
told
Siskiyou County sheriff’s
authorities that she was climbing the 14,162-foot mountain
on Saturday when she slipped
into a crevasse.
She crawled out a few
hours later despite head and
neck injuries but was unable
to descend the mountain.
On Monday night, she
called for help from a Boy
Scout troop, which helped her
until rescuers arrived. By that
time, it was 3 a.m. Tuesday.
Sheriff’s spokeswoman
Susan Gravenkamp says the
hiker was stranded at about .
the 6,500 foot level and was
disoriented when rescued.
Teslenko remained in serious
condition Wednesday at
Redding’s Mercy Medical
Center.
Gravenkamp says the 15member Explorer troop was
from Maryland and continued
its climb on Wednesday.
Smoke
Forest officials suggest that
residents pay attention to
local air quality reports and
help monitor friends and family members with heart and
lung diseases for signs of
added respiratory stress.
When smoke is heavy for a
prolonged period of time, fine
particles can build up indoors
even though you may not be
able to see them. Help keep
particle levels inside your
home lower. Avoid burning
candles or using gas stoves.
Avoid vacuuming, which stirs
up particles already inside
your home.
