Police looking for bank robbery suspect in the area
By BEN BROWN
The Daily Journal
The Cloverdale Police
Department is asking for the
public’s help in finding a man
who robbed a bank in
Cloverdale last week.
“We have a great photo of
him entering the bank,” said
CPD Officer Dave Johns.
The man, dressed in a blue
shirt and blue baseball cap,
entered the Cloverdale branch
of the Exchange Bank at
around 2:40 p.m. August 12,
walked up to the teller and
handed over a note demanding money or he would start
shooting.
“It’s what we call a ‘note
job’,” Johns said.
The man walked out of the
bank with just under $2,000 in
cash. It is not known how he
fled the area but Johns said he
believes the man likely drove
away, though police did not
have a description of a car.
Johns said he believes the
suspect is local to the area,
specifically
because
he
entered and left the bank
through the lesser know side
door rather than the front.
Johns said he believes the
man may have fled north to
Mendocino County and is
asking anyone with information about the robbery to contact Johns or CPD officer
Rudy Segobiano at 894-2150.
In addition, the Exchange
Bank is offering a $2,5000
reward to anyone with information that leads to the arrest
and conviction of the person
responsible for the robbery.

FB police looking
for young attackers
The Daily Journal
The Fort Bragg Police
Department is looking for a
small group of young men
who allegedly knocked a
woman down and stole her
purse at the Coast Cinemas
Saturday.
According to reports from
the Fort Bragg Police
Department, the victim was
standing in the parking lot of
the Coast Cinemas just before
10 p.m. when she was
approached by two young
men.
One of the boys grabbed
the woman’s purse but she
pulled it back. The two then
allegedly knocked the woman
down and hit her in the head
several times until she let go
of the purse, according to
police reports.
They then fled with the
purse and its contents.
The suspects are described
as Hispanic male juveniles
wearing dark-colored shorts
and light-colored Tshirts.
Police are asking for the
public’s help in solving this
crime. Anyone with information regarding this robbery is
asked to call FBPD at 9612800 or 964-0200.

Tuesday afternoon.
Democrats open local office
Obama campaign
in the forefront
By DAVID MINTON
The Daily Journal
Barack Obama’s campaign to get
the local vote was officially off and
running when the Inland Mendocino
Democratic Headquarters opened
Saturday at 205 W. Standley Street.
The office is headed up by Wendy
Pollitz, president of the Ukiah Valley
Democratic Club and a member of the
county’s
Democratic
Central
Committee.
Between now and Election Day,
Pollitz will use the location as a base of
operations for getting out the party line
for the Democratic nominee and for
training volunteers who want to help
out the Obama campaign by answering
phones, raising money, registering voters (of any party, not just Democrats)
and getting into other nuts of bolts of
informing voters of current issues
while trying to get their candidate
elected.
“Obama is considered by many to
be the new John Kennedy,” Pollitz said
Tuesday, while standing by a life-size
cardboard cutout of the candidate.
“There are others who say he is not,
but it seems to me he is bringing as
much new hope to the country as JFK
did in 1960.”
Pollitz became interested in politics
while attending Dominican University
two years ago. She was working on her
master’s degree in humanities and
“took a class on politics.”
“After that,” she said, “I decided I
did not want to be an armchair quarterback during this election.”
There are plans to get a big screen
TV for an additional space in the nowempty former antiques store around the
corner from the headquarters on
School Street. The public will then be
invited to watch the Democratic
National Convention Aug.25-28 -- and
anyone, not just Democrats, can come
watch the election night returns on
Nov. 4.
Pollitz notes that this is the 30th
anniversary of the founding of the
Ukiah Valley Democratic Club by the
late Seigi Sugawara in 1978. A framed
picture of Sugawara, with a yellowed
newspaper article from 30 years ago, is
posted in the office along with a portrait of John F. Kennedy.
Bake sales and town meetings are
also planned to be held at the office,
with times to be announced later.
Meantime, the Standley Street location
is open Mondays through Saturdays
from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The phone number is 463-DEMS. A grand opening
ceremony will be held on Labor Day,
Sept. 1, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Editor’s note: The Republican Party
no doubt has plans to open a campaign
office in Ukiah for the support of John
McCain’s candidacy, but calls to their
Central Committee office remained
unanswered and messages were not
returned by press time. When they do,
Republicans will be given equal time
and equal space for their office opening.
On the street ...
By DAVID MINTON
The Daily Journal
Some people on the Ukiah
sidewalks and streets did not
want to talk about their political
views and voting preferences on
Tuesday afternoon.
Others had some opinions they
did not mind sharing.
Sonia Anzilotti, a former
librarian, said, “I just hope for the
best. We in this country need to
unite. ... I grew up in the ‘60s,
when people actually got out and
did something.” Now, she says,
too many forces have combined
to undo the ferment and political
activism of that era.
She said she’s for Obama in
the upcoming election mainly

A generous move by Fort
Bragg's leading fish processor
helped the World's Largest
Salmon Barbecue raise more
this year than in any recent
year.
Caito Fisheries made last
minute moves that allowed it
to sell the salmon for about
what half the Salmon
Restoration Association had
feared.
This combined with a
healthy 2,700 ticket sales and
a big increase in wine and
beer sales by the Fort Bragg
Lions Club, allowed the organization to raise about
$38,000 for causes to help
salmon restoration.
"After all the bills were
paid and the dust has settled,
the association will be able to
contribute
$30,000,
as
planned, to the salmon habitat
improvement project on Kass
Creek in the Noyo River
Watershed," said Joe Janisch,
president of the Salmon
Restoration Association, in a
letter to community groups.
"This contribution will be
used as matching funds for a
grant that will allow over
$150,000 of work to be completed in Kass Creek next
summer."
The association also has an
additional $8,000 it would
like to spend locally on educational projects that promote
salmon restoration. If anyone
has any ideas or belongs to an
organization that would like
to apply for a grant, contact
Janisch at 962-0548.
In conjunction with the
property owner, Christina
Veith, the organization is also
seeking to find a use that benefits salmon for the hatchery
on Hollow Tree Creek.
The hatchery was a key
part of the efforts of the
Salmon
Restoration
Association for many years.
Veith has been offered money
by timber buyers for the 80
acres but is concerned about
the damage logging would do
to the unique and sensitive
riparian lands.
The hatchery, located on
backroads halfway between
Westport and Leggett on
Highway 1, has living quarters. The SRA and Veith hope
researchers or sporting groups
(no fishing is allowed) will be
interested in the property.
Hollow Tree Creek is the only
hatchery left on the Eel River
system, California's third
longest river.

Searchers locate all missing
Grand Canyon hikers
PHOENIX (AP) — Rescue crews have
located a handful of hikers who were missing
after floods tore through a remote part of the
Grand Canyon, authorities said Tuesday.
The 11 people from two families were
tracked down in the canyon Monday, Coconino
County Sheriff’s Department spokesman Gerry
Blair said. They were the last to be accounted
for after creeks overflowing with runoff from
severe thunderstorms washed away trails during the weekend, stranding dozens of tourists.
“We have met them, and they’re OK,” Blair
said.
Authorities were receiving more calls from
people who believe their loved ones might still
be in the canyon, Blair said. But everyone who
followed the rules and signed in at the bottom
of the trail into the remote area had been evacuated.
“The only other possibility that exists is
someone who went down there who didn’t sign
up,” Blair said.
Helicopters ferried 426 people out of the
canyon from Supai, an American Indian village
near most of the flooding. Many of the stranded tourists made their way to Supai before
catching a helicopter ride to the rim.
Thunderstorms dumped as much as 8 inches
of rain on the region Friday through Sunday.
The storms sent a rush of water through parts
of the canyon, uprooting trees and washing out
trails and footbridges.
Obama: McCain wrong

sition to the U.S. invasion of Iraq and said the
so-called “surge” strategy of sending 30,000
additional troops to Iraq last year had not produced the political reconciliation necessary to
achieve lasting peace in the country. McCain
supported the Iraq invasion and was an early
champion of the surge.
“These are the judgments I’ve made and the
policies that we have to debate, because we do
have differences in this election,” Obama said.
“One of the things that we have to change in
this country is the idea that people can’t disagree without challenging each other’s character and patriotism. I have never suggested that
Sen. McCain picks his positions on national
security based on politics or personal ambition.
I have not suggested it because I believe that he
genuinely wants to serve America’s national
interest. Now, it’s time for him to acknowledge
that I want to do the same.
“Let me be clear: I will let no one question
my love of this country,” Obama said to
applause.
McCain stood before the same audience a
day earlier and said Obama “tried to legislate
failure” in the Iraq war and had put his ambition to be president above the interests of the
United States. He said the Illinois senator did
this by pushing for a timetable for withdrawal
of U.S. combat troops from Iraq and by voting
in the Senate against a major appropriations
bill to help fund the troop increase.
said it wasn’t as bad they feared.
“We’re still here,” said Corey Knapp, resident manager of the Ivey House, a bed and
breakfast in Everglades City.
Forecasters posted a hurricane watch for
parts of Florida and Georgia because Fay’s
chances of strengthening increased as it
remained well organized over land. Its top sustained winds increased during the day by 5
mph to 65 mph. A hurricane has winds of at
least 74 mph.
Tropical storms and hurricanes do occasionally strengthen while over land, said Eric
Blake, a specialist at the National Hurricane
Center. Forecasters are not certain why it is
occurring with Fay, but it moved over the flat,
swampy Everglades, which has ample warm
water that storms need for energy.
Only months ago, militants shied away from
large-scale attacks because of the heavy losses
they could incur when jet fighters appeared
overhead, NATO and U.S. officials said.
But the Taliban and other militant groups
appear increasingly willing to commit large
numbers of foot soldiers to onslaughts that
attempt to overwhelm small groups of U.S. and
NATO troops. Just last month, some 200 militants attacked a small U.S. outpost in
Afghanistan’s eastern mountains, penetrating
its perimeter and killing nine U.S. troops.
The suicide attack Tuesday on Camp
Salerno, the American base that serves as the
logistics hub for the war’s eastern front, began
just after midnight when a team of attackers
dressed in military fatigues were spotted on the
horizon.

The outside lighting picture

By K.C. Meadows
Special for the Journal
Exterior lighting is taking on a
glow of its own as the sophistication and aesthetic appeal of a
handsomely lit home and landscape becomes even more important. By “night-lighting” a garden, for instance, one can not
only transform it into a place of
beauty, but increase the functionality as well.
When a deck, porch, pool,
yard or patio is lit, it can create
extra space for entertaining and
personal relaxation. In a day
when it is common for both people in a household to work all
day, outdoor lighting presents an
opportunity to enjoy the outdoor
areas of the house after they
come home.
Although in some neighborhoods exterior lighting can
become a home fashion statement, its importance and function
needs to be seen as a significant
part of the home exterior.
Successful lighting projects consequently, begin with an overall
plan or scheme incorporating the
salient architectural and landscape features, as well as the
more practical features of safety, Night lighting extends the usefulness of outdoor areas, such as seen for this deck situated

USC to present speaker from
Erle Baum Center Aug. 29
Scott Kies, a certified orientation and
mobility specialist, and vision rehabilitation
therapist, will speak at the Ukiah Senior
Center on Aug. 29, from 1 to 2 p.m. The Earle
Baum Center is a non-profit that serves the
blind and visually impaired in areas including
daily living skills, orientation and mobility,
and adaptive technology. Kies will focus his
presentation on low vision, and what he calls
his ‘Trinity:’ glare, lighting and contrast.
There is currently a low vision support
group that meets at Henny Penny on the fourth
Monday of each month, at 10 a.m., which covers topics including updates on new research
and technology that may affect those with
vision loss, and tips and tricks from the
group’s participants on how they cope with
day to day issues.
For more information about the Earle
Baum Center, either call the Center at 5233222, or visit their Web site at http://earlebaum.org.
There will be no charge for this presentation. It is open to the public. Drawings will be
held for a $5 cash prize, and for a ticket to the
Ice Cream Social at the Center, for those who
attend this talk. For more information, call
Betty McGlade, coordinator, at 467-0960.
Free tire recycling
available Sept. 2 though 14
It’s time to clean out those old tires, for
free. Mendocino Solid Waste Management
Authority will accept old tires for free recycling on Sept. 2 through 14. Households can
recycle up to 9 passenger or light truck tires
per day, without charge, at four transfer stations throughout Mendocino County.
There is a 17 inch diameter size limit. No
rims are allowed, and no tire dealers may participate. Locations and dates are:
Ukiah Transfer Station, 3151 Taylor Drive,
closed Sundays;
Willits Transfer Station, 350 Franklin
Avenue, closed Sunday and Monday;
Caspar Transfer Station, Prairie Way,
closed Thursday and Friday;
South Coast Transfer Station, Fish Rock
Road, Gualala, closed Monday, Thursday and
Friday.
The program is sponsored by the
Mendocino Solid Waste Management
Authority in cooperation with the transfer station operators. A grant from the California
Integrated Waste Management Board supports
the program. The free tire amnesty program
will help households clean up accumulations
of used tires, and lessen the illegal dumping of
tires along roadsides. The usual tire recycling
fee is waived. Last year, 7,000 tires were collected, saving the public more than $21,000 in
fees. Clean up of old tires is especially important now that West Nile Virus has come to
Mendocino County. Water collected in old
tires is a breeding ground for mosquitoes,
which carry the virus.
For more information about the Free Tire
Collection, call the Recycling Hotline at 4689704.

I hear on the Hopland grapevine that
there’s a lot of activity out at the former Fetzer
Valley Oaks. People with access out there say it
looks like someone is gearing up to reopen it.
One theory has owner Brown-Forman reopening
the site and another has a local alternative energy concern looking to open a green B&B. BF
closed the facility - including the tasting rooms,
deli, organic garden, restaurant with manmade
lake, and inn - about a year ago and had it up for
sale with a couple dozen acres of vineyards for
$11 million.
Also, word in Hopland is that there’s going
to be an outdoor Mexican restaurant in what
used to be the beer garden of the Hopland
Brewery. Locals have noticed the garden - which
was closed and cleared of decking, tables and
overhanging vines awhile back - has been
replanted with trees and fenced in. A beautiful,
obviously aged, olive tree anchors the new
plantings on the corner.
The Main Street Program and the Ukiah
Chamber are joining forces this year and starting preparation early for the hometown holiday
season. The name “Holidays in Ukiah - A
Perfect Pear” was selected as the new name for
Ukiah’s holiday festivities.
“The name was selected for its originality, the
elegant imagery it evokes, and its reference to
Ukiah’s agricultural heritage,” according to
Main Street director Joy Beeler.
With a new name selected, they are now
searching for a matching logo. Put your creativity to work and your pen to paper - send them
your graphic version of “Holidays in Ukiah - A
Perfect Pear.”
The selected artist will receive a $100 cash
prize along with a free membership to the
Downtown Key Club, which provides discounts
at numerous downtown businesses as well as
savings at Ukiah Main Street Program-sponsored events.
Entries must be postmarked no later than
August 29; mail them to 200 S. School St.

Save Mart, (what used to be Food Maxx
over on Airport Boulevard) and Lucky (the former Albertson’s) are now part of the Support
Humanities, Arts, Recreating, Education and

organizations. Groups get up to 250 cards free to
distribute to their members, who only need to
swipe their cards at the Save Mart or Lucky (or
S-Mart or Food Maxx elsewhere) to earn points
for their group equivalent to 3 percent of their
purchases. Participating groups have the opportunity to share up to $4.5 million the Save Mart

Here are the latest recalls from Recalls.org
gleaned from federal and state agencies. For
more information about any of them go to
www.recalls.org.
CORDLESS NAILERS: DEWALT Industrial
Tool Co. is recalling DEWALT DC608 Cordless
Brad Nailers sold nationwide from October
2007 to May 2008. The nailer can operate when
the lock-off (safety) is in the locked position.
Also, the nailer can operate when the trigger is
not pulled and the contact trip is depressed. The
unexpected ejection of a nail poses a serious
injury hazard.
MOTHER HUBBARD’S CRIBS: Mother
Hubbard’s Cupboards is recalling cribs sold
nationwide from March 2006 to March 2008.
The cribs fail to meet the federal safety standards. The distance between the mattress support bracket in the lowest position and the top of
the side rail in the highest position is less than
the required 26 inches, posing a fall hazard to
children who climb over the railing.
BABY APPLESEED CRIBS: Baby
Appleseed is recalling Davenport Cribs sold
nationwide from December 2006 to September
2007. The cribs fail to meet the federal safety
standards for cribs. The cribs have a two mattress support system. The secondary mattress
support, used for the lowest position, does not
meet the full 26 inch minimum height in its lowest position, allowing children inside to crawl
over the railing, posing a fall hazard.

From the desk of ...
No on 8
To the Editor:
I am a firm believer in equal rights for
all and applaud our state Supreme Court
and the Massachusetts lawmakers and governor for their actions as well. If you are
afraid that same sex marriages will erode
the “institution” of marriage, fear not.
Heterosexual couples have allowed the
divorce rate to hit the 50 percent mark
already.
Civil unions, and specifically civil marriages, allow partners to share basic freedoms and privileges that should be available to any loving couple. Domestic partnerships allow for sharing of health coverage, but not all property will be inheirited
by a domestic partner without a will. Not
so with a marriage - the spouse becomes
the automatic heir in lieu of a formal will.
Civil marriage certificates do not necessarily equate with the blessing of a particular religion, so those groups will still not
recognize the marriage and their leadership
won’t have to perform religious marriage
ceremonies.
I also urge you to vote NO on 8 and
uphold the California State Supreme
Court’s decision in a matter of law - equality for all.

Think about your time
To the Editor:
Do you ever wonder; have we been
given a specific amount of time on Earth?
Is it preordained by a higher power? How
do you use this precious commodity?
Do you rush through the day, taking
pride in the many ways you save time? At
the end of the day, do you have time left
over?
You can use some of your time helping
others and enjoy the ego gratification of
this time spent. You can spend time doing
things that give you a sense of personal
accomplishment; then time will fly. Still,
you must allow time to pass while you do
the necessary mundane chores of every day
living. Are there times you impatiently
think that you are “running behind?” The
question is, “behind what?”
You can take the time and appreciate the
time to enjoy the beauty around you. The
beauty of a field of wildflowers can give
you the feeling that time is standing still,
that you have all the time in the world; at
that moment in time. Finding time, even
making time for an experience that feeds
the spirit can bring emotional balance to
your life.
If you hoard your time without fulfillment, will you someday regret wasting
time?
Time on Earth is ours to spend, to use
wisely. We make the choices, for the time
being.

I want to say a big thank you to the 100
or so people who came to our Hawaiian
Civic Club performance of “The Queen’s
Women” at the Civic Center on August 4.
An especial thanks to Sherrie Smith-Ferri
for doing so much to make the performance possible and bringing in so many
people with her great article the Sunday
before. And also to the young dancers and
their teachers from Pinoleville Rancheria
who responded so beautifully to our
request to perform on their land. Thanks
for the enthusiastic response and involvement from the audience in the play and
Keanu’s presentation. The whole event felt
very blessed. And... we found over $300 in
the donation bowl at the end of the night.
Thank you all!

About the pot smell
in residential areas
To the Editor:
As I type this, I can smell an odor which
can mean only one of two things: either a
skunk with very bad body odor has moved
into the neighborhood or the pot that my
neighbors are growing outside is just about
ripe.
How do I know that they are growing?
Well, all one has to do is come into my
backyard and look through the fence. By
the way a question to so-called medical
marijuana “advocates”: why do you need
to grow 20-plus plants outdoors in a residential neighborhood for your various “ailments,” which can range from cancer
(legitimate) to hang nails (utter baloney)?
If his “miracle weed” is so all-fired good
for you, why am I sitting here with a splitting headache from the smell? Why does
my mother find it hard to breathe with her
COPD when the stench really hits its peak?
Also, why am I writing a letter as opposed
to doing something through the legal system? Why perhaps because our lovely

Obsessed with rankings, Americans are bound to
see the Beijing Olympics as a metaphor for a larger
and more troubling question. Will China overtake the
United States as the world’s biggest economy? Well,
stop worrying. It almost certainly will. China’s economy is now only a fourth the size of the $14 trillion U.S.
economy, but given plausible growth rates in both
countries, China’s output will exceed America’s in the
2020s, projects Goldman Sachs. But this is the wrong
worry. By itself, a richer China does not make America
poorer. Indeed, because there are so many more
Chinese than Americans, average Chinese living standards may lag behind ours indefinitely. By Goldman’s
projections, average American incomes will still be
twice Chinese incomes in 2050.
The real threat from China lies elsewhere. It is that
China will destabilize the world economy. It will distort trade, foster huge financial imbalances and trigger
a contentious competition for scarce raw materials.
Symptoms of instability have already surfaced, and if
they grow worse, everyone -- including the Chinese -may suffer. China is now “challenging some of the
fundamental tenets of the existing (global) economic
system,” says economist C. Fred Bergsten of the
Peterson Institute.
This is no small matter. Growing trade and the
cross-border transfers of technology and management
skills contributed to history’s greatest surge of prosperity. Living standards, as measured by per capita
incomes, have skyrocketed since 1950: up 10 times in
Japan, 16 times in South Korea, four times in France
and three times in the United States. Significantly,
these gains occurred without serious political conflict.
With the exception of oil, world commerce expanded
quietly. The chief sources of global strife have been
ideology, nationalism, religion and ethnic conflict.
Economics could now join this list, because the balance of power is shifting. The United States was the
old order’s main architect, and China is a rising power
of the new. Their approaches contrast dramatically.
Economically dominant after World War II, the
United States defined its interests as promoting the
prosperity of its allies. The aims were to combat communism and prevent another Great Depression.
Countries would make mutual trade concessions. They
would not manipulate their currencies to gain advantage. Raw materials would be available at non-discriminatory prices. These norms were mostly honored,
though some countries flouted them (Japan manipulated its currency for years).
China’s political goals differ. High economic
growth and job creation aim to raise living standards
and absorb the huge rural migration to expanding
cities. Economist Donald Straszheim of Roth Capital
Partners estimates the urban inflow at about 17 million
people annually. As he says, China sees export-led
economic growth as a magnet for foreign investment
that brings modern technology and management skills.
Prosperity is considered essential to maintaining public order and the Communist Party’s political monopoly.
At first, China pursued its ambitions within the
existing global framework. Indeed, the United States
supported China’s membership in the World Trade
Organization in 2001. But as it grows richer, China
increasingly ignores old norms, Bergsten argues. It
runs a predatory trade policy by keeping its currency,
the renminbi, at artificially low levels. That stimulates
export-led growth. From 2000 to 2007, China’s current
account surplus -- a broad measure of trade flows -ballooned from 1.7 percent of gross domestic product
to 11.1 percent. The biggest losers are not U.S. manufacturers but developing countries whose labor-intensive exports are most disadvantaged.
Next, China strives to lock up supplies of essential
raw materials: oil, natural gas, copper. If other countries suffer, so what? Both the United States and China
are self-interested. But the United States has seen a
prosperous global economy as a means to expanding
its power, while China sees the global economy -guaranteed markets for its exports and raw materials - as the means to promoting domestic stability.
The policies are increasingly on a collision course.
China’s undervalued currency and massive trade surpluses have produced $1.8 trillion in foreign exchange
reserves (China in effect stockpiles the currencies it
earns in trade). Along with its artificial export advantage, China has the cash to buy big stakes in American
and other foreign firms. Predictably, that’s stirred a
political backlash in the United States and elsewhere.
The world economy faces other threats: catastrophic
oil interruptions; disruptive money flows. But the
Chinese-American schism poses a dilemma for the
next president. If we do nothing, China’s economic
nationalism may weaken the world economy -- but if
we retaliate by becoming more nationalistic ourselves,
we may do the same. Globalization means interdependence; major nations ignore that at their peril.

Q: After Mom was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s three
years ago, my father took care
of her at home until he was
unable to do so due to stress
and safety concerns. (Mom
wanders.) When she was
home, it sometimes took us
hours to find her. She’s repeatedly ended up wandering near
a busy highway. The police
picked her up several times,
and Dad was almost charged
with neglect.
Finally, when Dad reluctantly agreed to admit her to a
nursing home, we emphatically told the facility that if they
did not continually watch her,
she would be out the door in a
heartbeat. The nursing home
assured us they had security
systems that would prevent
this.
However, Mom has been
able to get out of the facility
three times in the past month.
The last time, she was gone
for nearly six hours. The facility tells us they are reviewing
their systems and have not had
this problem before. Should
we leave her there or move
her to another facility? We are
paying a pretty penny for her
care.
A: Because of cognitive
deficiencies, wanderers misperceive their environment
and tend to place themselves
in dangerous situations.
According to a study by the
University of Florida, 60 percent of all Alzheimer’s
patients will stray at least
once. And, of those who are
gone for more than 24 hours,
up to 46 percent may die.
Many more may be injured
from exposure to the elements
or from being struck by a
motor vehicle. With the number
of
dementia
and
Let
Next steps
By Jan Warner and Jan Collins
Alzheimer’s patients increasing, wandering is fast becoming a law-enforcement nightmare. And, as your father
found out, criminal charges of
neglect may be lodged, especially when the conduct is
repetitive.
Nursing homes have an
obligation -- not only to identify wanderers, but also to
develop and implement prevention programs. According
to federal law, Medicare- and
Medicaid-certified facilities
must develop and then review
and revise each resident’s plan
of care every 90 days unless
there are significant changes
in the resident’s needs, in
which case more frequent
care-plan review is mandated.
It seems in your mother’s case
that the facility’s systems are
lacking and unacceptable,
especially in light of your
upfront warnings to the facility about this problem.
What to look for: Does the
facility have a specialty unit
for Alzheimer’s and dementia
residents where the environment is designed specifically
for the care of residents who
wander or are aggressive? Has
the facility made environmental modifications to discourage wandering, such as: 1)
putting full-length mirrors on
doors and exits, 2) camouflaging doors with wall coverings
or window treatments, 3)
putting stop signs on doors, 4)
installing an alarm system on
all exits, 5) placing sensors on
resident’s wrists or ankles that
activate alarms when the resident approaches the exit,
and/or 6) using chair and bed
alarm systems that activate
when moved?
What to do: In dealing
with situations like this,
research should be done
before admission. Since families generally don’t know
what to look for and are under
tremendous stress, we can’t
overestimate the value of hiring an experienced geriatriccare manager to assist in
choosing a facility that meets
the needs of the family. To
find a care manager in your
area, go to www.caremanager.org.
Meanwhile, since your
mother is at risk, we suggest
that you obtain the facility’s
records to determine whether
there have been other complaints about patient wandering. If security concerns are
not resolved quickly, move
your mother to another facility.

UKIAH | FOOTBALL CAMP
OLYMPICS | TRACK
New year begins
Bolt keeps
coming up
with surprises
at Olympics
By HOWARD FENDRICH
Associated Press
The overnight camp also presented the team with a great opportunity to prepare for the upcoming season and their scheduled opponents.
This year Ukiah will play nonleague games against Petaluma and
Sonoma, two teams which reached
the playoffs in 2007, and a road
game against a rebuilt Eureka team.
Their league schedule comprises
all seven remaining high schools
with home games against Rancho
Cotate, Montgomery and Elsie
Allen. The Wildcats will travel to
BEIJING — Must be pretty
discouraging to race Usain Bolt.
Not only are you likely to lose
— he’ll beat you without even
trying.
Look, for example, at the way
Bolt won his 200-meter semifinal Tuesday night at the Beijing
Games, the latest step in a bid to
become the first man since Carl
Lewis in 1984 to sweep the
Olympic sprint titles.
The Jamaican, who broke his
own world record while winning
the 100 gold medal in 9.69 seconds last weekend, eased up in
the middle of the race Tuesday,
figuring he was comfortably
ahead and easily on his way to
earning a berth in the final.
As he slowed, he realized
Shawn Crawford of the United
States was coming at full speed,
overtaking Bolt in an adjacent
lane. So Bolt simply shifted
gears and passed Crawford to
cross the finish line first.
Essentially, a taking-it-easy,
energy-conserving Bolt was better than a seemingly going-allout Crawford — who, do not
forget, is the defending Olympic
champion in the 200.
Asked about his gait, Bolt
said: “I wouldn’t say ’jogging.’
I’m just trying to get through to
the next round. I didn’t know if
he was running. I just wanted to
make sure I was in good position. I was looking at Crawford,
and then I decided to look at the
board to see where everybody
else was.”
Bolt spends a lot of time
checking out the overhead video
screens at the Bird’s Nest.
Usually, though, he’s checking
out himself.
Before the start of Bolt’s 200
semifinal, the stadium announcer read off the names of the
entrants, pausing to mention the
resume highlights of some.
When it was Bolt’s turn, this is
what came over the speakers:
“In Lane 6, a man who needs no
introduction.”
Hearing his cue, Bolt went

Two Ukiah High varsity football players work blocking drills during a morning practice session over the weekend at Ukiah’s 4th
annual overnight football camp.
Overnight camp helps Ukiah prepare for football season
For The Daily Journal
“The food’s great, they’re a great
bunch of kids, it’s not too hot,
coaches are arguing... what else
could you ask for?” laughed Ukiah
Head Football Coach Chris Burris
during a lunch break at the school’s
fourth annual overnight football
camp that took place over this past
weekend.
Over the course of four days and
three nights, nearly 100 athletes and
coaches built comraderie, chemistry, skills and technique in preparation for the 2008 high school football season.
“This is the best conditioned
group of kids we’ve had,” Burris
added. “Forty players have been
showing up Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday for weights and conditioning and it shows.”
This year’s Wildcat team will be
strong on both sides of the ball.
Offensively, their strength lies in the
skill positions with All-League
returnees that include quarterback
Kyle Morris, running back Gabe Ott
and Cody Allen. One concern for
Ukiah is their inexperience on the
offensive line. The newcomers have
been working hard and so far look
promising but they haven’t been
tested yet.
On the other side of the ball, the
defense will be led by a strong linebacking crew featuring Allen,
Colton Thompson, Ronnie Creen
and John Escamilla. The depth
behind them is also farely stout with
a strong nucleus of junior-varsity
players like Luke Penniger, Scott
Cokely and Chad Pittman. The
defense also returns two key defensive lineman in Junior Villa and
Garrett Edwards who should be key
contributors once again for the
Wildcats.
NFL | 49ERS
49ers QB O’Sullivan takes starting jobs in stride
SANTA CLARA (AP) — J.T.
O’Sullivan isn’t getting ahead of himself, even though the sixth-year veteran
is starting for the third consecutive week
at quarterback for the San Francisco
49ers.
O’Sullivan has assumed command in
the three-way competition with veteran
holdovers Alex Smith and Shaun Hill to
become San Francisco’s starter for the
Sept. 7 regular-season opener against
Arizona. But for now, he insists he’s
only focused on Thursday night’s exhibition game against the Chicago Bears.
“Everybody gets excited during camp
for the regular season, but everybody
knows this third game is a big game in
the preseason,” O’Sullivan said
Tuesday.
Coach Mike Nolan says the team still
has not decided which quarterback will
start the opener, but actions are speaking
louder than words at the 49ers training
camp. O’Sullivan has taken virtually
every snap with the first-unit offense
since Aug. 6, when he emerged as the
leading contender at the position.
Most NFL teams typically consider
the third exhibition game a dress
rehearsal for the regular season, a time
when starters see extensive action before
getting a rest in the preseason finale. If
O’Sullivan hasn’t won the starting job
yet, he couldn’t be any closer to it than
he is now.
The San Francisco offense, which
ranked dead last in the 2007 NFL rankings in several major statistical categories, was at its best during Saturday’s
34-6 rout of the Green Bay Packers.
The 49ers had been slow to absorb
new offensive coordinator Mike Martz’s
system during summer practice sessions,
and that carried over to the team’s 18-6
loss to Oakland in San Francisco’s Aug.
8 exhibition opener. But with O’Sullivan
at the controls, the offense began to click
against Green Bay. O’Sullivan passed
for 154 yards in two quarters of action
and directed two touchdowns drives.
O’Sullivan played in Martz’s offense
last year when both men were with the
Detroit Lions. His knowledge of the system and comfort in it has given him an
advantage this summer.
But O’Sullivan also has added excitement to a San Francisco offense that
averaged just 237 yards per game last
season — almost 40 fewer than any
other NFL team — and was last in the
league with 219 points scored.
“The leadership and qualities he has
just makes you kind of want to latch
onto it and follow a guy like that,” 49ers
receiver Josh Morgan said. “J.T. knows
the offense and he gets in there and takes
command of the huddle. He goes out
there and makes plays and gives us his
all every time, and that’s what you want
in a quarterback.”
Morgan, a rookie who leads the NFL
in exhibition play with five receptions of
20 yards or longer, has been
O’Sullivan’s favorite target so far during
the preseason with several of San
Francisco’s veteran receivers out with
injuries. The pair hooked up for a 59yard touchdown reception against Green
Bay.
O’Sullivan is in the midst of his
longest stint as a No. 1 quarterback during a career that has seen him play with
seven other NFL teams. A sixth-round
draft pick of the New Orleans Saints in
2002, O’Sullivan has thrown just 26 regular-season passes all coming last year
with the Lions.
The starting position he has been
chasing throughout a journeyman career

NFL | RAIDERS
Hall has ligament
damage in hand
ALAMEDA (AP) —
Oakland Raiders cornerback
DeAngelo Hall has ligament
damage in his right hand and
may have to wear a protective
cast for the rest of the preseason.
“I talked to my doctor and
he said I tore some ligaments
or something,” Hall said as he
walked off the practice field
Tuesday. “I don’t know. We’ll
see how it goes.”
Hall was injured in training
camp before the preseason
started and initially was
uncertain how badly his hand
was hurt. He underwent an
MRI and X-rays which
showed no break, but the
Raiders had the veteran cornerback seek a second opinion.
When the pain in his hand
continued, Hall sought out his
own doctor for advice.
“It’s something where he
still has to wear a cast because
of a bruise,” Oakland coach
Lane Kiffin said. “We think
by the time we get to the (season) opener, that it will be a
non-issue.”
Hall did not play in the
Raiders’ 17-16 loss to
Tennessee on Friday and told
a sideline reporter he had been
diagnosed with a torn tendon.
He returned to practice two
days later and was back on the
field Tuesday, but said the
injury was a torn ligament.
Hall practiced with his
hand wrapped in a thick white
brace that separated his thumb
from his index and middle fingers, which were taped
together, but it didn’t completely help.
Hall, who signed a $70 million, seven-year contract with
the Raiders after being
acquired in a trade from
Atlanta during the offseason,
broke up a pass play by swatting the ball away but winced
noticeably and clutched his
right hand as he walked off
the field. He later broke up
two more pass plays and
missed an interception without any obvious pain.
Kiffin intends to play his
starters into the second half of
Saturday night’s game against
Arizona, but the plans might
be different for Hall. The
Raiders expect him to be
available, but aren’t sure how
long he will play.
“The problem is he’s got to
wear that cast throughout all
these practices and probably
will still have to have it on
this week,” Kiffin said. “It’s
hard to tackle. It’s hard to be a
corner with a cast on, but it’s
the situation that it is and
we’ll make the best of it.”
Hall’s doctors informed
him he won’t require surgery
and may be able to play without the cast when the Raiders
open the regular season
against Denver on Sept. 8.
That’s encouraging news for
the Raiders, who don’t have
much depth at cornerback
behind Hall and Nnamdi
Asomugha.
“There’s nothing telling us
that there’s going to be
surgery,”
Kiffin
said.
“Everything tells us that he’s
going to be OK for the opener.
We think that it will be over
by then.”

OLYMPICS | RESULTS
Olympic roundup: 1-2 in gymnastics; wrestling gold
By JAIME ARON
Associated Press
BEIJING
— Shawn
Johnson and Nastia Liukin are
familiar faces by now, so seeing the gymnasts side-by-side
on the medals stand Tuesday
was nice, but nothing new.
For that, get to know another American gold-medal winner, freestyle wrestler Henry
Cejudo.
The son of illegal immigrants from Mexico, Cejudo
(pronounced say-HOO-doh)
was 4 when he last saw his
dad. His mom raised six kids
and often struggled to make
ends meet. The family moved
more times than anyone
remembers.
He got into wrestling as a
youngster because his older
brother Angel was good at it,
good enough to get invited to
live at the U.S. Olympic
Training Center in Colorado
Springs, Colo. Only halfway
through high school, Henry
went with him.
The kid became a national
champ at 17, then defied conventional wisdom by blowing
off college to study nothing
but wrestling. Yet last year, at
the world championship —
his first senior-level international event — he didn’t win a
single match.
Now he’s the world’s best
in the 55-kilogram division,
the youngest American ever to
win an Olympic wrestling
gold medal. That’s saying
something, because his was
the 50th gold won by U.S.
wrestlers; swimming and
track and field are the only
sports to produce more.
His story is packed with
vines of inspiration for all
kinds of people to grasp. The
parts he hopes resonate most:
Dream big, work hard and
never give up.
“Anybody can do it,” he
said. “It’s just a matter of seeing it, believing it and just
working at it, and achieving it.
... The guy who went 0-1 (at
the world championship) just
won the Olympic title.”
Cejudo’s gold and Johnson
and Liukin finishing 1-2 in the
balance beam were among the
highlights for the U.S. delegation at the Olympics on
Tuesday. Another gold medal
came in the 100-meter hurdles, but it wasn’t from the
expected sprinter, Lolo Jones.
Jones was leading the pack,
then hit the second-to-last hurdle and wound up seventh.
Gold instead went to Dawn
Harper, who grabbed the last
spot on the American squad at
trials.
“This is a kid nobody
knew,” said her coach, Bob
Kersee. “Now she’s an
Olympic gold medalist. It’s
breathtaking.”
With 205 of the 302 medals
decided, the United States is
atop the medals table with 79.
Check out the distribution: 26
gold, 26 silver and 27 bronze.
Talk about diversity.
China is close behind with
76 total medals, but 43 of
them are gold. Other than the
U.S., no other delegation has
that many of any color. Russia
is closest with 42.
———
Track and field
Sanya Richards was on the
medals stand and she wasn’t
happy about it. She didn’t like
the color: bronze.
The favorite in the
women’s
400
meters,
Richards led in the stretch but
faded at the end, ruining what
would’ve been a great comeback from an illness that cost
her most of 2007. Britain’s
Christine Ohuruogu won, with
Jamaica’s Shericka Williams
taking silver.
“I feel so betrayed by my
body once again,” said
Richards, adding that her
hamstring started tightening in
the last 80 meters.
In other medal events,
Russia’s Andrey Silnov won
the men’s high jump,
Bahrain’s Rashid Ramzi won
the men’s 1,500 meters and
Estonia’s Gerd Kanter won
men’s discus.
Nothing too surprising happened in the heats of other
races, with big names advancing in the men’s and women’s
200 meters, the men’s 400 and
the men’s 110-meter hurdles.
———
Gymnastics
Johnson and Liukin went 12 in the all-around also, but it
was the other way around. In
fact, Johnson came into the
balance beam finals with three
silvers.
While Johnson finally got
her gold, Liukin’s fifth medal
of these games matched the
most ever for an American
female gymnast at a single
Olympics. Mary Lou Retton
did it in 1984 and Shannon
Miller in 1992.
China’s men won two more
events, with Zou Kai winning
high bar and Li Xaiopeng
winning parallel bars. For the
meet, China took all but one
men’s event, the vault — in
which there was no Chinese
finalist.
The United States got its
only men’s individual medal
when Jonathan Horton took
silver on high bar.
Also, China’s Lu Chunlong
won the men’s trampoline.

Women’s basketball
Not that there was much
doubt, but the U.S. women are
headed back to the Final Four
of this tournament.
Sylvia Fowles had 26
points and 14 rebounds to lead
the Americans on their latest
rout, a 104-60 victory over
South Korea. The Americans
have made the medal round in
every Olympics they’ve
entered, and have won 31
straight games since losing in
the 1992 semifinals.
The Americans will play
Becky Hammon and Russia in
the semifinals Thursday night.
Russia rallied to beat Spain
84-65 Tuesday night. China
plays Australia in the other
semifinal.
The Aussies advanced with
a 79-46 victory over the
Czech Republic. China moved
on with a 77-62 victory over
Belarus. It’s the first time the
Chinese are in the medal
round since taking silver in
1992.

Baseball
Despite losing its opener,
losing one key player to a
gruesome injury and seeing
another key player get hurt,
the U.S. is headed to the
medal round.
The Americans advanced
with a 4-2 victory over
Taiwan, powered by John
Gall’s go-ahead homer and a
solid outing by pitcher
Brandon Knight. The final
prelim test comes Wednesday
night against medal favorite
Japan. The semifinals start
Friday.
South Korea and Cuba are
advancing, too. Those teams
squared off in a battle of
unbeatens, and South Korea
won 7-4.
“Since we beat the U.S. in
our opener, the good luck has
stayed with us so far,” South
Korea manager Kim Kyungmoon said.
Also, Canada beat the
Netherlands 4-0 and Japan
beat China 10-0.

Diving
China is up to 6-for-6 in its
bid for all eight golds.
He Chong easily won the
men’s 3-meter springboard,
getting 11 perfect marks of
10.0 in the six-round final.
This is the fourth consecutive
Olympics China has won this
event.
American Troy Dumais
was sixth for the third straight
Olympics. Teammate Chris
Colwill was 12th and last.

Men’s soccer
The final is set: Argentina
vs. Nigeria.
Argentina is headed back to
the Olympic final with the
chance to become the first
nation in 40 years to defend its
title — and to avenge a loss to
Nigeria in the 1996 finals.
Sergio Aguero scored goals
six minutes apart in the second half and later set up
another to lead Argentina past
Brazil 3-0. Nigeria advanced
with a 4-1 victory over
Belgium that included two
scores from long distances.

Weightlifting
Germany’s
Matthias
Steiner won the men’s super
heavyweight division, getting
gold and the right to call himself the world’s strongest man.
At the medal ceremony,
Steiner held up a picture of his
wife, Susann, who died in a
car accident last year.
“I thought of her before the
competition,” he said. “I won
this for her, for friends and
family. But mostly for her.”
Steiner lifted a total of 461
kilograms (1,016.3 pounds),
clinching the win with a clean
and jerk of 258 kg (568.8
pounds).

Cycling
This wasn’t Olympic
cycling. It was the British
Open.
With Victoria Pendleton
winning the women’s track
sprint and Chris Hoy taking
the men’s version, the Brits
won seven events and 12
medals in cycling, with Hoy
claiming three golds.

Bolt
into a prerace routine that
would make a professional
wrestler proud, keeping a
careful watch on those video
screens.
He rubbed his hands over
his short hair, pretending to
smooth down a coif, then
drew his fingers across his
eyebrows, all part of his lookat-me message.
He pointed his index fingers at himself on those
screens, then used his hands to
form a frame around the
“Jamaica” written on his shirt.
“I like to enjoy what I do,”
Bolt said. “You can’t be too
serious in your job.”
His job, of course, is to run
fast, and he does that quite
well, thank you. Bolt finished
in 20.09 seconds, followed by
Crawford in 20.12, then twotime world championship
medalist Wallace Spearmon of
the United States in 20.14.
Bolt and Spearmon are
buddies, and they clowned
around with each other after
the finish. While Bolt was
doing a TV interview at trackside, Spearmon sneaked up
and stuck two fingers behind
the Jamaican’s head.
Later, they took turns interrupting other sessions with
reporters by pouring cold
drinks on each other.
“He’s just playful, and he
loves the sport — someone
who will race all the time,
someone who won’t duck,
won’t hide, won’t take drugs.
You can’t ask for anything
better,” Spearmon said. “If
you look back in the old days,
people were always doing
that, and that’s what drew
attention to the sport. So it’s
good to have someone like
that around.”
Good for the sport, yes.
Not necessarily good for
opponents.
The 6-foot-5 Bolt might
just be on his way to completely redefining sprinting,
long thought to be the domain
of shorter athletes.
“His stride is out of this
world,” said 400-meter medal
contender LaShawn Merritt.
“He’s the future of track and
field.”
Up next for Bolt is the 200
final Wednesday night, and
he’s been so good over the
past few days that the buzz at
the Bird’s Nest is over
whether Michael Johnson’s
1996 world record of 19.32
seconds could fall.
Consider, after all, that Bolt
broke the 100 mark Saturday
even though he goofed around
over the closing 20 or so
meters, slowing down to
stretch out his arms, smack his
chest and mug for the cameras.
In the 200 final, Bolt
promised to “run my heart
out” — something he has yet
to do for a full race at these
Olympics. “I wouldn’t put
anything past him right now,”
Spearmon said.
To look at it another way: If
nobody has been able to catch
Bolt when he was slowing
down, how is anybody going
to beat him if he runs all out?

They were favored to also
win the men’s madison, but
Argentina took it.
The Americans? Not a single medal in the five-day competition. Just like in Athens. It
ended with Michael Friedman
and Bobby Lea 16th in the
Madison, and Jennie Reed
seventh in the women’s sprint
5th-8th placement race.

Wrestling
American Mike Zadick
worked so hard to get to the
Olympics. Was it worth it? He
wrestled for less than 10 minutes over two matches and
didn’t score in either one.
“This is an opportunity I’ve
wanted since I started
wrestling at 5, 25 years ago,
and it’s pretty sour to have on
me,” he said. “It happened so
quick, it’s just kind of a shock
to me, and it’s something I’ll
deal with.”
He competed in the 60kilogram freestyle division,
which was won by Russia’s
Mavlet Batirov. Three-time
Olympic
gold
medalist
Alexander Karelin was in
Batirov’s corner during the
match.

Women’s volleyball
After a slow start, the U.S.
took down Italy in five sets to
advance to a semifinal
matchup with undefeated
Cuba.
Afterward, the team celebrated with abandon. Ogonna
Nnamani was joined by her
teammate in a dance. They
chanted “U-U-U-U-U-S-A!”
Niners
finally appears within reach.
But O’Sullivan knows he
must continue to keep a tight
grip.
“I’m not satisfied to be the
starter coming into the third
preseason game,” O’Sullivan
said. “Everybody wants to
play and be the guy. So we’ll
go from there, but this is
another opportunity to play
And, of course, there were
hugs all around.
Brazil plays defending
champion China in the other
semifinal on Thursday.

Women’s water polo
The U.S. will be playing
for gold, taking on the
Netherlands on Thursday, but
will do so without center forward Lauren Wenger.
Wenger, the team’s most
versatile player, broke her
right hand in the closing minutes of a 9-8 semifinal victory
over Australia. Brenda Villa
scored three goals, including
the winner with a minute left.
The U.S. is guaranteed to
keep alive its streak of winning a medal at every
Olympics that has included
women’s water polo. The
Americans won silver in 2000
and bronze in 2004.
The Dutch advanced by
upsetting Hungary 8-7 in the
other semifinal.

Canoe-kayak
Rami Zur left Athens with a
broken neck because of a
freak pool accident. He might
leave Beijing with two
medals.
Zur has reached the semifinals of two kayak single (K-1)
events. His berth in the 500
meters was secured a day after
making it in the 1,000 meters.
Carrie Johnson advanced to
the women’s semis, giving the
U.S. hope of returning to the
Olympic flatwater medal
stand for the first time since
1992.
Also, Canadian kayaker
Adam van Koeverden set a
world-best time in the 500meter kayak single in a qualifying heat. Van Koeverden,
who carried Canada’s flag at
the opening ceremony, is the
defending Olympic champion
in the 500.

Beach volleyball
Get ready for a rumble.
Kerri Walsh and Misty
May-Treanor — the winners
of 107 straight matches,
including the last Olympic
title — are headed to the finals
against the Chinese duo of
Tian Jia and Wang Jie.
The Americans easily beat
a Brazilian tandem in the
semifinals. Tian and Wang
advanced by beating another
team from China.
The United States has now
reached the podium in all four
Olympics since beach volleyball was added to the games in
1996.
“I think they are going to
be the Olympic champions,
for sure,” said Renata, part of
the Brazilian team defeated by
the Americans.

Sailing
The U.S. got its first gold
from the regatta when Britishborn Anna Tunnicliffe won
the women’s Laser Radial
class. China’s Xu Lijia got
bronze, marking the third sailing medal for the hosts.
Britain got its third gold in
sailing when Paul Goodison
won the men’s Laser.
Also, a jury rejected yet
another protest about the 49er
class gold medal that went to
Denmark in a boat borrowed
from Croatia. Spain, which
would’ve moved from silver
to gold if the Danes were disqualified, said they saw the
markings for Croatia and didn’t realize it was really the
Danes.
well this week.”
That’s all it figures to take
Thursday from O’Sullivan to
get the official starting nod
over Smith, the No. 1 overall
selection of the 2005 NFL
draft. Smith took every offensive snap at quarterback for
the 49ers during a promising
2006 season, but his career
took a detour last year when
he suffered a separated throwing shoulder in Week 4 that
required
season-ending
surgery.
Smith
has
followed
O’Sullivan into the first two
preseason games and will do
so again Thursday. Smith said
he’s still competing for the
starting position with two preseason games remaining.
“They haven’t said otherwise,” Smith said. “I’m going
out there treating it like that.
You have to. I’m not sure
what they’re thinking or what
is going on upstairs, but I’ll
get my reps and I’ll be ready
for them. I’m trying to take
advantage of the things I can
control.”

Some major improvements

all begin with someone who
introduces you to a fun group
of people and who likes to
engage in all the activities
that interest you.

Readers respond with reasons men stray from marriages
ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: “DPN” asked why men have
affairs. When a man drifts, it’s all emotion
and hormones. We fear getting old. When we
come home to wives who are exhausted from
work, raising children and doing chores, and
who don’t have enough energy (understandably) to be attractive to their man, we feel
unloved and become susceptible to flirtation.
The other woman makes us feel young again.
Most men come to their senses and pray
our wives will take us back. In my case, my
wife and I made a list of what we need from
each other. I keep hers at my desk: a hug once
a day, doing something fun together once a
week, time with the family. It’s not a lot to ask
and I happily oblige. Our marriage has never
been better.
To women everywhere: Love your man.
Put on a negligee. Forgive. -- Boise, Idaho
Dear Boise: Succinct advice. We heard
from hundreds of men and detected a pattern.
Read on:
From Denver: I love my wife and chil-
By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
dren. The problem is sex, plain and simple.
My wife is intimate twice a month and lays
there like a corpse. I found relief with a
woman in my office. The sex is passionate
and varied. My greatest regret is that I cannot
enjoy these things with my wife.
California: Men are weak by nature. She
is not gratifying him sexually, so he looks for
sex elsewhere. The question should be, why
are some men faithful? It is the desire to not
inflict harm on the person you love.
Kuwait: It’s not always about the sex.
Most of the time, it involves the excitement
and adventure of something new. When I
stepped out on my wife, it was because we
worked separate shifts and never saw each
WEDNESDAY EVENING

other. I needed someone to talk to and things
happened that I regret. Men have feelings. A
lack of stimulation mentally and sexually will
drive us away.
Illinois: I left my wife after two decades of
being shown I was nothing to her. She never
made me feel important. When you promise
to have a romantic evening, don’t bail at the
last minute because something else is more
important. Your MARRIAGE is most important.
Tulsa, Okla: When I met my wife, she was
outgoing and fun. After 10 years, she wants to
stay home and watch TV. She has gained an
excessive amount of weight. She seldom
speaks to me unless it is to order me around.
When a young gal paid me some attention, it
boosted my self-esteem like you would not
believe. I felt someone wanted me. I pursued
her and got caught red-handed.
Indiana: I have been married for 20 years.
For the past five, my wife says sex once every
other month is more than enough. I do the
housework so she won’t be tired, I put the
kids to bed, and I’ve pleaded with her to see a
doctor, to no avail. So I am in the process of
finding a woman I can have a physical relationship with.
Missouri: If I express an opinion out loud
and my wife isn’t there to hear it, am I still
wrong? For 40 years, I’ve been the one who
supports the family, cleans the kitchen and
does the laundry. Yet all vacation destinations
are her choice and all friends we have are
hers. We married for better or worse, so every
few months I pay $150 for an hour with someone who takes care of me and doesn’t tell me
I’m wrong about everything. That hour lifts
my self-esteem so I can continue in the marriage.
Los Angeles: From the moment my wife
said “I do,” she became cold, mean and emotionally abusive. Then I met a woman who
appreciated all the qualities my wife found
annoying.
Hollis, N.H.: Men, like all primates, are
biologically polygamous and will attempt to
mate with any female who is young and
healthy. In the face of that overwhelming biological destiny, marriage doesn’t stand a
chance.

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED ORDINANCE
ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 6.20 TO THE
MENDOCINO COUNTY CODE PROVIDING FOR THE
LICENSURE OF TOBACCO RETAILERS
On December 7, 2004, the Board of Supervisors adopted
Ordinance No. 4135 establishing an ordinance
providing for the licensure of tobacco retailers.The intent
of this licensure is to compel merchants to become
educated about tobacco sales to minors and provide
for restrictions on sales should continued infractions
occur. The Health and Human Services Department
Tobacco Control program administers this program.
The proposed amended changes to this ordinance
address the hearing process and penalties.
The proposed ordinance is scheduled for adoption on
August 26, 2008.
A complete copy of the ordinance is on file with the
Clerk of the Board of Supervisors and is available for
inspection and copying as a public record.

Hello there. I heard the
schools in RV were great
so I was walking down
School Way on 8/14 to
stop at the school and find
out when school begins
when I was picked up and
brought to the Ukiah
Shelter. I am a
neutered/male Chow mix.
I even have a microchip
but the people who
adopted me from a SF
shelter never registered
the chip! Oh dear, do you
know me? If so, please
call Sage at 467-6453
Hi there I am a big
female Boxer. I was going
to the post office in
Redwood Valley to mail
a letter around 8/11 when
I decided that it would be
more fun to jump in
someone's car and go
home with them. But
they could not keep me
so now I am in the Ukiah
Shelter at 298 Plant Rd.
If my people do not
come and find me I will
be up for adoption on
8/22. Please call Sage
if you know me at 4676453

Tax talk angers Calif. GOP leader
By JUDY LIN
Associated Press
SACRAMENTO — A top
Republican lawmaker walked
out of budget negotiations
Tuesday with Democrats and
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger,
saying he is upset about their
plans to raise taxes.
The action by Assembly
Minority
Leader
Mike
Villines illustrates the divide
between the two parties as
they try to strike a budget deal
nearly two months after the
start of the fiscal year and
raises doubts about whether
they can find common ground
any time soon.
Villines, R-Clovis, abruptly
left Tuesday’s budget negotiations in the governor’s office
after about an hour. He said he
is tired of being in meetings
where the conversation focuses on raising taxes.
Villines likened budget
talks to the film “Groundhog
Day,” in which the main character lives the same day over
and over.
“I don’t know how many
times we’re going to say no,”
Villines said about the tax proposals.
Republicans said they want
a spending cap to stop
California’s deficit spending,
while Democrats have proposed a mixture of spending
cuts and tax increases on the
wealthy and corporations to
help bridge the state’s $15.2
billion
deficit.
Schwarzenegger, meanwhile,
has floated plans to sell bonds
based on the future value of
the state lottery and a temporary 1 percent sales tax
increase that would be rolled
back after three years.
In an interview immediately following the meeting,
Schwarzenegger said both
sides must move toward the
middle. Republicans should
be open to new revenue in
exchange for getting the kind
of budget reform that is difficult for Democrats to accept,
he said.
The governor is seeking a
mechanism that will rein in
state spending by granting the
governor authority to make
midyear cuts and establish a
rainy day fund so the state can
cover deficits in lean times.
“I think if you get the kind
of reforms that I’m talking
about, then it might be a good
trade off,” Schwarzenegger
told The Associated Press.
Assembly Speaker Karen
Bass, D-Los Angeles, said
Democrats are willing to compromise on how best to solve
the state’s deficit, but said her
party will not accept large cuts
that compromise public safety, education and health care.
Schwarzenegger said the
election year is making negotiations more difficult, but he
said restraining state spending
is critical because California
is facing a projected $10 billion deficit in the 2009-10 fiscal year, which begins next
July 1.
“It’s a historic fight that has
gone on,” the governor said.
“What I’m trying to tell them
is the only way we can solve
the problem is a compromise.”
The governor said he
would like a deal by week’s
end so that some kind of longterm budget reform can be
included on the November
ballot. Schwarzenegger would
like to make budget reform
the centerpiece of this year’s
negotiations, but his hopes
could
be
doused
if
Republicans and Democrats
fail to pass an agreement by
this Sunday to qualify measures for the ballot.
The Legislature already
missed last weekend’s deadline to place measures on the
general election ballot, but
lawmakers have the authority
to set a new one. The changes
being sought by the governor
would require voter approval
in November.
Schwarzenegger administration officials said they
believe lawmakers can waive
an eight-day public notice rule
and still make the Sunday
deadline. If a deal is reached
any later, the state runs the
risk of bumping up against
deadlines to mail ballot pamphlets to voters.
The longer it takes lawmakers to strike a deal, the
more it is expected to cost taxpayers. The secretary of
state’s office estimated it will
cost between $4 million and
nearly $12 million to print and
mail supplemental ballot pamphlets.
The governor did not rule
out calling a special election
after November if lawmakers
miss the deadline to place a
budget reform measure on the
ballot.
Legislators are pressed to
leave the Capitol in time to
attend their national party
conventions. The Democratic
National Convention will be
held
Monday
through
Thursday in Denver, while the
Republican
National
Convention will be held Sept.
1-4 in St Paul, Minn.
Legislative leaders from
both parties said their caucuses
would
remain
in
Sacramento until a budget
deal
is
reached.
Schwarzenegger, who has
endorsed Sen. John McCain’s
presidential bid, said he also
would not attend the
Republican
National
Convention if no budget is
adopted in time.
“I have all the time in the
world to sit here until it’s
over,” said the governor, who
is recovering from weekend
surgery on his right knee.
Business leaders: Make renewable energy cheaper
By OSKAR GARCIA
Associated Press
LAS VEGAS (AP) —
Representatives from corporate giants Google Inc. and
General Electric Co. said
Tuesday that transitioning the
United States to renewable
energy on a large scale would
be possible — if renewable
energy were cheaper.
Dan Reicher, director for
climate change and energy
initiatives at Google.org, told
a group of politicians and
energy experts meeting in Las
Vegas that renewable energy
options will remain “boutique” industries unless their
costs are cut to make them
competitive with coal and
other widely used power
sources.
“There’s a whole set of factors that go into the ultimate
cost of energy,” Reicher said
after announcing a new plan
for Google to invest more than
$10 million to develop
“enhanced geothermal systems” technology to generate
energy from rocks deep below
Street
“because of the alternatives.”
Wendy Pollitz, president of
the Ukiah Valley Democratic
Club, said she believes
Democrats have more responsible plans for the country
than candidates of other par-
the earth’s surface.
Google’s project replicates
traditional geothermal systems deep below the Earth’s
surface by circulating water
through hot rock and running
the steam through a turbine
that generates electricity.
Google said its goal was to
produce one gigawatt of
renewable energy capacity —
enough to power a major city.
“These are all high capital
costs projects,” Reicher said.
The group met at the
University of Nevada, Las
Vegas and by the end of a
national energy agenda to take
to the Democratic and
Republican parties at their
upcoming conventions.
Nevada Sen. Harry Reid,
who organized the National
Clean Energy Summit along
with the Center for American
Progress Action Fund and the
university, said that the ideas
presented would be heard by
leaders in both parties, even
though convention platforms
had been set long ago.
“There are resolutions that
will come from both
Republican and Democratic
conventions,” Reid said.
“Even if nothing comes from
the conventions in writing —
which I’m confident they will
— we’re all going to take the
messages.”
New York City Mayor
Michael Bloomberg said the
energy discussion was timely,
and he criticized presidential
candidates Barack Obama and
John McCain for not having a
real debate about energy.
“They’re treating us to a
political
silly
season,”
Bloomberg said, not mentioning either candidate by name
but citing ideas such as tapping the nation’s strategic oil
reserve or giving Americans a
gas tax holiday.
“The best that can be said
about these ideas is that
they’re
pandering,”
Bloomberg said. “Far worse,
they’re distractions from the
deadly serious business of creating a new national energy
policy.”
One by one, 29 speakers
ties. “We’ve been stuck in a
static position for eight years
now and it’s time to go forward again,” she added.
Tim Devick and Jesse
Barrera said they were in
California to get married and
take a vacation. They live in
Austin, Texas.
“John McCain would not
be my first choice for president,” said Devick. “He
wants the religious right on
his side, and he’s more interested in war than other candidates.”
On the other hand, Devick
indicated that Obama may be
only the lesser of two evils:
“He seems actually like a
thoughtful kind of person,
like he thinks about questions
before he answers. But he’s
also so ‘politician’.”
touted the benefits of various
energy-related initiatives on
Tuesday: How large-scale
solar power could generate
thousands of jobs, why wind
power could lessen America’s
dependence on foreign oil.
Extending tax credits, establishing caps on carbon emissions and modernizing the
nation’s electricity grid —
ideas speakers said would be
crucial to building a “green”
economy.
A series of panels included
presentations on job growth in
the renewable energy industry,
improving efficiency for businesses and government’s role
in encouraging a transition
from fossil fuels.
REGIONAL BRIEFS
Judge blocks
Calif.’s 10 percent
Medi-Cal cuts
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A
federal judge has blocked a 10
percent cut in Medi-Cal payments to doctors, dentists,
pharmacies and many other
health care providers.
The decision Tuesday by
U.S. District Judge Christina
Snyder to issue a preliminary
injunction is a blow to efforts
by California lawmakers to
erase a $15.2 billion state budget deficit.
The Legislature approved
the Medi-Cal cut during a special session in February.
Snyder agreed Tuesday that
health care providers were
likely to win their lawsuit
challenging the move, which
was designed to save $$650
million in state money during
the current fiscal year.
The providers said the cut
would force them to drop out
of the Medi-Cal program and
dramatically limit low-income
Californians’ access to medical services.
Ned
Wigglesworth,
spokesman for the California
Medical Association, said the
decision is retroactive to the
start of the fiscal year, July 1.
He said he wasn’t sure how
much providers would be
reimbursed.
3rd virtual fence
construction in
Arizona on hold
TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) —
Construction on “virtual
fence” projects scheduled
along Arizona’s border with
Mexico is on hold indefinitely
because
the
Interior
Department hasn’t signed off
on use of its lands, federal
officials said Tuesday.
Interior officials have not
yet accepted a proposed finding in an environmental
assessment produced for the
U.S. Border Patrol that
putting towers on Interior
Department lands would have
no significant impact, said
Mike Friel, a spokesman for
U.S. Customs and Border
Protection.

Water education
presentation at
Lake Mendocino
set for Aug. 22
The U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers invites the community to join them at the Pomo
Cultural Center at Lake
Mendocino on Friday, Aug.
22nd at 7 p.m. for a class on
water sources, usage, and conservation. This presentation is
tailored for the entire family
and will cover watersheds,
pollution prevention, conservation and stormwater awareness. Activities will include
playing games, watching
videos and discussing where
water comes from and where
it goes. There will be handouts, activity books and other
giveaways.
The Pomo Cultural Center
is located in the Pomo A DayUse Area. From Ukiah, take
Highway 101 north to
Highway 20. Take the
Highway 20 east for approximately 2 miles and turn right
onto Marina Drive. Follow
Marina Drive for .5 miles and
turn left at the sign for Pomo
B/Visitor Center. Park in the
first parking lot. The Pomo
Cultural Center is the brown,
round building on the hill. For
more information, call 4674230.
Authority to waive environmental laws for border
security projects was granted
to Department of Homeland
Security Secretary Michael
Chertoff under a 2005 congressional act, but it does not
extend to virtual fence projects, Friel said.
Boeing Co., the prime contractor on the projects for the
Department of Homeland
Security, has suspended work,
with no resumption date set.
Virtual fences, comprised
of towers variously decked
out with sophisticated radars
and cameras or communications equipment, are part of
the department’s plan to
secure the U.S.-Mexico border. The government has completed just more than half of a
total of 670 miles of pedestrian fencing and vehicle barriers it is committed to build
along the Mexican border by
the end of the year.
The Interior Department’s
concerns
and
sharply
increased costs for fuel and
material in building the physical fences and vehicle barriers
have caused CBP and DHS to
delay all virtual fence construction until January at the
earliest, Friel said.
LA County to hold
taggers’ parents
liable for graffiti
LOS ANGELES (AP) —
Beginning next month, parents can be held liable if their
children are caught tagging
property in Los Angeles
County.
The county Board of
Supervisors approved the
graffiti ordinance Tuesday.
Supervisor Gloria Molina
says the measure is a “wakeup call” to parents and will
strengthen the county’s pilot
anti-graffiti program.
The ordinance will go into
effect Sept. 18 and will allow
the county to sue to recover
costs of removing graffiti. The
county can also recoup unpaid
damages by placing a lien on
the property of a tagger’s parent.
