See GUILTY, Page 2 BACK-TO-SCHOOL SHOPPING LIST: Electronics, books, apparel By LAURA MCCUTCHEON The Daily Journal While electronics are reportedly the biggest expense overall in college spending across the United States, books are big money at the junior college level, and apparel and school supplies top the list at the K through 12th grade level. The fourth annual National Retail Federation 2006 Backto-College Consumer Intentions and Actions Survey, conducted by BIGresearch, found that college students and their parents will spend $36.6 billion returning to campus this year, up 6.3 percent and more than double what parents of K-12 students will spend on back-to-school. College students are expected to spend 27.5 percent more on electronics purchases as the category expands to include flat screen TVs, XBoxes, iPods and notebook computers. Clothing and accessories sales (at the college level) at $5.78 billion, are expected to be flat, though shoe sales will see an impressive 13 percent increase to $2.26 billion, according to the NRF. Two categories, school supplies (down 14 percent to $2.55 billion) and textbooks (down 1.8 percent to $11.6 billion) will see decreases in spending, according to the survey. At least some Mendocino College students beg to differ, however, as the cost of books is the biggest drain on their pocketbooks. Full-time Mendocino College student Denise Cooper See BACK, Page 16 11th annual SolFest to aim for solutions The Daily Journal Concerned with rising gas prices and dwindling fuel supplies, more than 10,000 people from throughout Northern California and around the world will descend on the Mendocino County hamlet of Hopland Saturday and Sunday for SolFest.

REDWOOD EMPIRE FAIR WRAP UP: Fair attendance breaks records The Daily Journal Pot garden investigation leads to INS arrests By BEN BROWN The Daily Journal Three men have been arrested by Immigration and Naturalization Services in connection with the investigation by the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office of illegal marijuana gardens in the area of the Big Bend Ranch in Round Valley. Rafael Alexander Nunes, 27, and Airton Costa Jr., 41, both of Covelo, and Edgar Quinillo, 18, of San Rafael, were arrested on TOBACCO SETTLEMENT FUNDS: Willits group argues for more Discussion continued to Aug. 29 By KATIE MINTZ The Daily Journal A technicality kept the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors from taking action on approval of tobacco settlement grants Tuesday, but didn’t stop members of the community See FUNDING, Page 2 Headlining the entertainment will be the David Grisman Bluegrass Experience, featuring mandolinist/composer David Grisman. suspicion of cultivating marijuana with intent to sell and entering the United States illegally. The three were arrested after search warrants were served in the 7600 block of Henderson Lane and the 22000 block of Refuse Road in Covelo, and the Big Bend Ranch in Round Valley. Sheriff’s deputies eradicated 4,000 marijuana plants from the Big Bend Ranch garden and an additional 500 from the fields on Henderson Lane and Refuse Road. MCSO Capt. Kurt Smallcomb said the Sheriff’s Office has been working with the INS since the shooting deaths of Ivan Tillotson, 28, and Robert Cory Want, 28, both of Covelo, who were killed on Murphy Ridge Road June 17. Their bodies were found near a 5,000-plant marijuana garden, and one of the men arrested on suspicion of cultivating that garden, Jose See ARRESTS, Page 2 Nearly 20,000 visitors enjoyed the fourday Redwood Empire Fair, in Ukiah this past weekend, topping both attendance and revenue figures for the past several years, as the fair celebrated its 70th anniversary in Ukiah. Thursday’s boost of more than 56 percent gate admissions and 20 percent in revenue can be partially attributed to the appearance of the Lipizzaner Stallions, according to Jennifer Seward, CEO. However, she says “We continued to see increases of 8 percent, 23 percent and 14 percent in attendance over the next two days, which we believe is the renewed interest by the community in the fair, beautiful weather, and the fact that families can bring their children to a safe, clean environment for a reasonable price.” Revenue by concessionaires doubled, and the carnival operator reported an increase in revenue of 36 percent this year, as well.

The Boys & Girls Club of Ukiah on Saturday is holding its first Taco Bell Turbo Trek from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Redwood Submitted photo On Wednesday, some 40 local Boys & Girls Club members participated in a tagging party, where they put numbers on the bottom of 5,000 plastic turtles in preparation for a Saturday fund-raiser. Empire Fairgrounds. The turtles are made of plastic, and the event is a fund-raiser for the Boys and Girls Club. “We will adopt, or sponsor out, 5,000 turtles for $5 each,” B&G Club Administrative Assistant Liz Elmore said, noting that when people adopt a turtle they have the chance of winning several prizes, from a microwave oven to a World Gym membership, to a new car from Ken Fowler Auto Center, and more. On Saturday, six community members will scoop six turtles out of the lagoon on the See TURTLES, Page 16 2 – THURSDAY, AUG. 17, 2006 DAILY DIGEST Editor: Jody Martinez, 468-3517 SHERIFF’S REPORTS The following were compiled from reports prepared by the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office: BOOKED -- Anthony John Boyles, 43, of Fort Bragg, was booked into jail on suspicion of second-degree burglary, petty theft with priors, obstructing the work of a police officer and resisting arrest at 10:20 a.m. Monday.

The board could not vote on recommendations made by the Mendocino County Tobacco Settlement Advisory Committee (MCTSAC) disbursing more than $500,000 to 24 applicant groups due to omissions in the item’s agenda title, however 18 people addressed the board, most urging that the Boys & Girls Club of Willits receive enough money to complete construction of its Youth Recreation Center. The Boys & Girls Club requested $500,000 of the approximately $920,000 the county receives annually from the settlement, but the MCTSAC suggested it be given $133,575. According to Karen Oslund, a Willits City Councilmember and founding board member of the Boys & Girls Club in Willits, more than $1 million has already been raised in grants and matching funds to build the 12,800 square-foot building, including gymnasium, but another $500,000 is needed to meet construction costs. “Altogether, $950,000 of the funding now in place goes away if the youth center is not built and open for business in 34 months,” Oslund said, explaining conditions of the grants and matching funds. A number in the audience - dotted with children wearing Boys & Girls Club T-shirts -urged the board to consider giving the entire requested amount to fulfill promises made years before when the county began allocating settlement money to fund large projects. Previous rounds of allocations have seen $1 million go to the Ukiah Valley Recreation Center and $1 million to the Fort Bragg Aquatic Center. A young Tara Logan, daughter of the late Willits Guilty Continued from Page 1 In return for their pleas, which included an agreement to check in with the Mendocino County Probation Department weekly, the District Attorney’s Office dropped all other charges and special allegations against Hoefer and Hill. Hoefer and Hill have both agreed to testify for the prosecution in the case against Mendoza if subpoenaed In support of the guilty pleas, Deputy District Attorney Brian Newman read into the record statements made by Hoefer and Hill to the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office and the District Attorney’s Office. In those statements, Hoefer and Hill said that Hill went to the parking lot of the Happiness Is club to fight with Garcia at the urging of Hoefer. Mendoza was with them and, at some point, stepped in and stabbed Garcia, they said. After the stabbing, Hill fled the parking lot on foot and Jewelry by David City Manager Gordon Logan, even addressed the board. “My dad was promised by the county they could have the next capital funding after Ukiah and Fort Bragg were paid down,” Tara said standing beside the podium that she could not see over. “Now my dad is dead and you need to keep your promise. Please keep your word so we can have our building.” Supervisor Jim Wattenburger agreed that three of the county’s five districts had not received their fair amount of funding, but emphasized the need for the board to try to stick to recommendations made by the MCTSAC. Chairman of MCTSAC Jim Levine also advocated for the board to seriously consider the recommendations that stemmed from “thousands of volunteer hours.” “There are people in the county that have applied for this funding that didn’t know they could come before the Board of Supervisors and ask for MCTSAC recommendations to be overturned,” Levine said. James Connerton, a member of the City of Ukiah Paths, Open Space and Creeks Commission which applied for grant money but received no recommendations, addressed the board but asked that MCTSAC suggestions be honored. The commission had applied for $25,000 to construct a trail on the Western hillside connecting Low Gap Park and city of Ukiah land west of the golf course. Connerton said that the project would have considerable public interest, but supported the process MCTSAC used to allocate the funds. The board, which has final say regarding grantees and grant amounts, said it would continue the discussion at its Aug. 29 meeting. Katie Mintz can be reached at [email protected]. Hoefer fled in her car, striking Garcia on her way out. When Hoefer contacted the California Highway Patrol after the incident, she gave a false statement, telling officers she had been involved in a hit-and-run. Newman said the autopsy revealed that Garcia died of his stab wounds and did not sustain significant injury from being struck by Hoefer’s car. Both Hoefer and Hill entered open pleas, which meant they could be ordered to serve the maximum sentence for their crimes. Hoefer faces a maximum sentence of four years and eight months in state prison and could be ordered to pay restitution of up to $15,000. Hill could face a maximum of four years in state prison and be ordered to pay restitution up to $10,000. Attorneys for Hoefer and Hill asked that sentencing be delayed until Mendoza’s trial is complete. Alternate Public Defender Linda Thompson, who represents Mendoza, said she does not expect the trial to take place this year. Ben Brown can be reached at [email protected]. Continued from Page 1 Advance sale of wristbands for unlimited carnival rides grew by 70 percent. Butler Amusements offered a discount on wristbands purchased in advance for every day of the fair, rather than just one day. Sales at the Jr. Livestock Auction also reached a record high. Total gross sales at the auction were $415,743 for 273 lots, compared to $365,503 in 2005 for 282 lots. The Grand Champion steer was purchased by Duran Construction for $4/lb., the hog by Thurston’s for $26/lb., the lamb by Safeway for $24/lb., the goat by Savings Bank for $11/lb., the rabbit meat pen by Raley’s for $1,000 and the poultry meat pen by Thurston’s for $750.

It was the first major test of a new terrorism law that lets suspects be held for as long as 28 days without charge so investigators can solidify their cases. The hearing, which addressed the cases of 23 suspects arrested in Britain’s initial sweep last week, was held behind closed doors and attended only by the suspects’ lawyers, investigators and government officials. Scotland Yard said that 21 Arrests Continued from Page 1 Maldonado, is a Mexican national. Smallcomb said the Sheriff’s Office did not know if the people managing the Round Valley marijuana garden were the same people managing the garden found near the bodies of Tillotson and Want, but said there were similarities. “The growing patterns were consistent,” Smallcomb said. Both cases remain under investigation by the Sheriff’s Office, and Smallcomb said he anticipates additional arrests. Ben Brown can be reached at [email protected].

Dawn Seften, president of the Ukiah Civic Light Opera which held its annual Ukiah Idol competition at the fair, was thrilled with the response. The UCLO first worked with the fair in 2005 providing entertainment on Seniors Day. “We want to come back – it was a great experience for us,” she said. The Little Idol winner was Adriana Fernande, Junior Idol winner was Olivia Poklkinghorne, and the title of Ukiah Idol went to Brooke Ingram, who also was high point vocalist. Ingram can now go on to compete in the Gold Country Star Finals at the Gold Country Fair in Auburn against winners from several other northern California fairs.

Lebanese Cabinet to deploy troops but disarming of Hezbollah unclear BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) — The Lebanese Cabinet agreed Wednesday to deploy the Lebanese army south of the Litani River starting the next day, a key demand of the cease-fire that halted 34 days of fighting between Israel and Hezbollah. But it left unclear the issue of disarming the Islamic militant group. The decision to start deploying the army on Thursday came as top foreign diplomats planned the dispatch of a 15,000-strong international force that eventually is to join the Lebanese troops in patrolling the region between the Israeli border and the river, 18 miles to the north. French Defense Minister Michele Alliot-Marie said France is willing to lead the enlarged U.N. force in Lebanon until at least February. But he expressed concern that the force’s mandate was “fuzzy” and said the peacekeepers need to have sufficient resources and a clear mission. The divided Lebanese Cabinet, which includes two Hezbollah ministers, held its first meeting since the ceasefire went into effect on Monday. The 15,000 Lebanese troops and the U.N. peacekeepers will slowly take over territory from withdrawing Israeli forces. Israel had threatened to halt its withdrawal if the Lebanese force did not move south. The government ordered the army, which has been assembling north of the river, to “insure respect” for the Blue Line, the U.N.-demarcated border between Lebanon and Israel, and “apply the existing laws with regard to any weapons outside the authority of the Lebanese state.” Service CENTER 859 N.

THURSDAY, AUG. 17, 2006 – 3 [email protected] The Ukiah Daily Journal Elvin Bishop to perform final concert for the 2006 Sundays in the Park concerts this Sunday This in Todd Grove Park at 6 p.m., Fowler Auto and Truck Center, the City of Ukiah and KWNE-FM are proud to present the final concert of the 2006 Sundays in the Park concert series featuring the raucous blues and razor-edged guitar playing of Elvin Bishop. When Elvin Bishop hit the stage at the Sundays in the Park concerts in 1994, Ukiah had never before seen such a massive response from its citizenry. Close to 4,500 people showed up for his first appearance here, then six years later in 2000 he returned with yet an even better sound and a more playful and sassy approach to his music and now as a veteran to the blues, rock world he will grace the stage to finish up the 15th anniversary of Sundays in the Park. Guitarist Elvin Bishop has been singing and recording his rollicking brand of electrified downhome blues for over 30 years. Bishops history-making tenure as a founding member of the Paul Butterfield Blues Band in the 1960s, his chart topping hits in the ‘70s, and his return to blues roots with Alligator Records in the late 1980s has put him on the forefront of electric blues guitarists. Elvin’s music is a mix of his blues roots with contemporary funk and rock flavors spiced with a touch of country and the laid back feel of his northern California home. Rolling Stone referred to Bishop’s music as “a good-time romp… raucous blues with high energy soloing, mixtures of careening slide and razor-edged bursts, all delivered with unflagging enthusiasm and wit.” Along with Bishop’s explosive guitar style, he often shares his home-spun wisdom through his sly songwriting and easy-going vocals. With guests Charlie Musselwhite, Joe Louis Walker and Norton Buffalo, his new release “The Skin I’m In,” sizzles and shakes off the radio charts. In the late 1960’s, after an already illustrious career with the Paul Butterfield Band worldwide, he headed to the San Francisco area. He became a regular at famed Fillmore Jam sessions, playing alongside Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, B.B King and many others. He scored big shortly after this with his famous song, “Fooled Around and Fell In Love,” with Mickey Thomas, from the Jefferson Starship on lead vocals. In 1992, after many great records being released, he joined up with Koko Taylor, Lonnie Brooks, Lil’ Ed and the Blues Imperials and Katie Webster on a cross country tour celebrating the 20th anniversary of Alligator Records. In 1995 he released his “Ace in the Hole” CD and backed it up with a tour with B.B. King, Etta James, Jimmy Vaughan and J. Geils. Bishop performs on stage a sly blues party… thick leads match his laidback vocals and humorous stories. He mixes slide with jump blues, honky-tonk rock and blues funk. He will definitely be one of the highlights of the 2006 concert series and will once again reign as one of the greatest artists to grace the Todd Grove Park stage.

Meadows, 468-3526 Letters from our readers In our opinion Charge them with crimes To the Editor: When John Conyers’ report came out annotating at least 26 separate crimes the Bush-Cheney team has committed, the weak excuse that there is no evidence of high crimes and misdemeanors was totally discredited. The treasonous attack on the Constitution perpetrated by these criminals pleads for a just hearing by the Congress. Unfortunately, greed, corruption, and lack of courage have effectively eviscerated Congress as an effective counter-weight to the Executive Branch. One can only hope that enough craven legislators will somehow find a spine and do their constitutionally mandated duty and impeach these crooks. After that, they should be brought to trial on charges for their crimes, including war crimes and crimes against humanity! Stephen Snyder Ukiah Editor’s note: Benj Thomas was a member of the grand jury until July of this year and is a candidate for Ukiah City Council. We want to send big kudos to all the businesses out there who participated in this year’s Junior Livestock Auction at the Redwood Empire Fair. Your generosity is overwhelming and makes a huge difference to all the young people in this community who spend months raising animals - everything from rabbits, to chickens, to hogs, lambs, goats and steers to sell at the fair. Many of these youngsters will use the hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars they get for their college funds. Each year, the prices seem to get higher and this year was no exception. Anyone watching the auction could only be astound- ed at local business owners paying hundreds of times the market price for animals that they will often just give away to a good cause. It may be Plowshares or a local service club, but those good causes get the benefit of the generosity as well. And before the auction arrives, there are business owners out there who are helping these youngsters get started, pay for the feed for their animals during the growing months and make sure that they get to the auction. DUI reckless driving is no accident merely an instant, built-in mechanism that is used when they are caught. The selfish, reckless driver is not the one left behind to pick up the pieces to a families life. Their lives go on, as they will never feel the pain of suddenly losing a loved one because it was not their loved one who was killed. The road back for a family and friends to begin the healing process is long and painful. The lives of everyone are forever changed due to the selfishness of the reckless DUI driver. No matter what one’s age is, please stop and think of what the consequences of drinking and reckless driving can do. Don’t allow yourself to be the one who selfishly took the life of a loved one away from their family. Don’t be the one who forced a child to grow up without their parents because your drinking and reckless driving claimed their parent’s life. Ultimately, don’t be the one who takes the life of a child whose life has only barely begun. Imagine if you can, what your life would be like if suddenly your loved one was killed because of the selfishness of a reckless DUI driver. Would the casual words you hear from the reckless driver “I’m sorry” make you’re the devastation go away? There could never ever be enough “I’m sorries” to take away the pain and emptiness that is in the hearts of a family and friends who have lost their loved one due to a selfish, reckless driver. A piece of their heart will always be missing just because someone chose to selfishly drive a motor vehicle while under the influence. Judy Thein Ukiah Not every animal gets a ribbon at the fair. But because of our generous business community, all the youngsters are winners. To the Editor: Frequently, no matter what area one lives, we pick up the newspaper to read about another DUI fatality labeled as an accident. Reckless DUI fatalities must not be labeled as accidents, but rather they must be distinguished as tragedies. The families and friends of victims of reckless DUI tragedies struggle daily with the transition from grieving to coping with the thought that the victim’s senseless death was because someone consciously made a selfish decision to drink and drive. They chose selfishness over responsibility. That decision is no accident. That decision instantly shreds the lives of family, friends and many people. How many times have these negligent drivers been driving under the influence and have not been caught? How many times have these drivers, whose conscious, selfish acts of reckless driving been diminished, freeing the negligent driver to do this again to another family? Everyday innocent people get hurt by the carelessness of these reckless drivers. DUI driving is wrong and against the law. Negligent drivers who are responsible for the death or injury of an innocent person should receive the maximum sentence allowed by law. They must be made to face the consequences of their selfish act. Most DUI reckless drivers are incapable of feeling true remorse, as they convince themselves to believe it was an accident. If they convince themselves it was an accident, then their guilt is minimized. Some may utter the words “I’m sorry,” but those words are WHERE TO WRITE LETTER POLICY The Daily Journal welcomes letters to the editor. All letters must include a clear name, signature, return address and phone number. Letters are generally published in the order they are received, but shorter, concise letters are given preference.

ON EDITORIALS Daily Journal editorials are written by Editor K.C. Meadows with the concurrence of Publisher Kevin McConnell. From the desk of... Businesses come through again DUIs an increasing problem To the Editor: This past spring, I participated in the Ride-Along program offered to Ukiah residents by the Ukiah Police Department; this letter is in part to say thanks for the experience to Andy Porter, a Ukiah native and the officer who was charged with my care (and education). But there are two particular aspects of the experience that I want to share. While I was with him, Officer Porter stopped and took into custody a young woman who was driving while under the influence of alcohol. Let me say that in dealing with the subject, Officer Porter was a model of gentleness, firmness and compassion. This was not the arrestee’s first such offense, and I saw and heard clear indications that she had a significant alcohol problem. I wondered then and still wonder what help is available for this young person after her release. Given the shortage of staff and funding, neither the County’s Probation Department nor the Alcohol and Other Drugs Program seems able to give her the considerable amount of time and attention she is likely to need. So who will take care of this young woman, particularly if she lacks personal and financial resources? Right now in our county there don’t appear to be many reassuring answers to that very important question. It is relevant that this year the UPD is setting new records for DUI arrests, a tribute to their skill and diligence surely. But it’s also evidence that alcohol abuse continues to be a significant problem for our community, one that cannot be addressed simply through arrests. The other inescapable conclusion I reached as a result of my ride-along is that the residents of the city are served extremely well by our Police Department, which is also borne out by the Mendocino County Grand Jury report issued this spring. The Department is made up of professional and committed officers who persevere despite daunting challenges posed by drug (including alcohol) use and gang activity. The same is true for our firefighters and emergency responders. Their commitment is all the more noteworthy given the fact that trained officers from Ukiah can easily find much higher paying jobs to the south. The passage of Measure S in June of 2005 was one indication that the City supports these employees. But we owe them more than that, and we need to offer them more than that, in order to improve current rates of recruitment and retention among our public safety workers.

I wrote about the subject the next day, warning that “politicians who wrap themselves in the flag while relentlessly pursuing their usual partisan agenda are not true patriots.” The response from readers was furious -- fury not at the politicians but at me, for suggesting that such an outrage was even possible. “How can I say that to my young son?” demanded one angry correspondent. I wonder what he says to his son these days. We now know that from the very beginning, the Bush administration and its allies in Congress saw the terrorist threat not as a problem to be solved, but as a political opportunity to be exploited. The story of the latest terror plot makes the administration’s fecklessness and cynicism on terrorism clearer than ever. Fecklessness: The administration has always pinched pennies when it comes to actually defending America against terrorist attacks. Now we learn that terrorism experts have known about the threat of liquid explosives for years, but that the Bush administration did nothing about that threat until now, and tried to divert funds from programs that might have helped protect us. “As the British terror plot was unfolding,” reports The Associated Press, “the Bush administration quietly tried to take away $6 million that was supposed to be spent this year developing new explosives-detection technology.” Cynicism: Republicans have consistently portrayed their opponents as weak on terrorism, if not actually in sympathy with the terrorists. Remember the 2002 TV ad in which Sen. Max Cleland of Georgia was pictured with Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein? Now we have Dick Cheney suggesting that voters in the Democratic primary in Connecticut were lending aid and comfort to “al-Qaida types.” There they go again. More fecklessness, and maybe more cynicism, too: NBC reports that there was a dispute between the British and the Americans over when to make arrests in the latest plot. Since the alleged plotters weren’t ready to go -- they hadn’t purchased airline tickets, and some didn’t even have passports yet -- British officials wanted to watch and wait, hoping to gather more evidence. But according to NBC, the Americans insisted on early arrests. Suspicions that the Bush administration might have had political motives in wanting the arrests made prematurely are fed by memories of events two years ago: The Department of Homeland Security declared a terror alert just after the Democratic National Convention, shifting the spotlight away from John Kerry -- and, according to Pakistani intelligence officials, blowing the cover of a mole inside al-Qaida. But whether or not there was something fishy about the timing of the latest terror announcement, there’s the question of whether the administration’s scare tactics will work. If current polls are any indication, Republicans are on the verge of losing control of at least one house of Congress. And “on every issue other than terrorism and homeland security,” says Newsweek about its latest poll, “the Dems win.” Can a last-minute effort to make a big splash on terror stave off electoral disaster? Many political analysts think it will. But even on terrorism, and even after the latest news, polls give Republicans at best a slight advantage. And Democrats are finally doing what they should have done long ago: calling foul on the administration’s attempt to take partisan advantage of the terrorist threat. It was significant both that President Bush felt obliged to defend himself against that accusation in his Saturday radio address, and that his standard defense -- attacking a straw man by declaring that “there should be no disagreement about the dangers we face” -- came off sounding so weak. Above all, many Americans now understand the extent to which Bush abused the trust the nation placed in him after Sept. 11. Americans no longer believe that he is someone who will keep them safe, as many did even in 2004; the pathetic response to Hurricane Katrina and the disaster in Iraq have seen to that. All Bush and his party can do at this point is demonize their opposition. And my guess is that the public won’t go for it, that Americans are fed up with leadership that has nothing to hope for but fear itself.

When he was 21 years old, a solo exhibit at the Whyte Gallery in Washington, D.C., brought his work to national attention and launched his professional career. Over the years, he exhibited his work in New York, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Chicago, Seattle, Montreal, Edinburgh and Inverness, Scotland. From 1959 to 1968, he operated a guesthouse and art gallery in Mendocino with his second wife, print-maker and muralist Emmy Lou Packard. Together they created art, and were active in political and environmental issues, playing a prominent role in the campaign to protect the Mendocino coastline from commercial exploitation and in the creation of the Peace and Freedom party.

In a statement to prosecutors about his intentions to stay mum, Greg Anderson also evoked the name of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, saying the two had spoken over the phone but never made further contact. “I had only one brief conversation with Tom Brady regarding a potential future workout,” Anderson said in the statment to prosecutors that was included in court documents unsealed Wednesday. “I never had another phone conversation with him and never discussed it with anyone.” Paula Canny, an Anderson attorney and friend, said Brady’s name appears along with “10 to 20” other athletes that Anderson’s grand jury subpoena lists as people the trainer should be prepared to answer questions about.

ANG Photo Tiger Woods notched one of the most important wins of his career in 1999 at the PGA Championship, winning a title after a 2 1/2 year drought at the majors. One thing is certain at Medinah: Woods is the man to beat By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press MEDINAH, Ill. — The longest course for a major. A flap over the Ryder Cup. Tiger Woods hitting his stride. The PGA Championship returns to Medinah Country Club, and it doesn’t seem as though much has changed in the seven years since it last was held at this tree-lined course outside Chicago. The controversy over the Ryder Cup this time is not about money, but the points system. The course was the longest for a Grand Slam event at sea level in 1999 at 7,401 yards. Now it measures 7,561 yards and is the longest for any major championship at any altitude. As for Woods, he has a little less hair and a lot more trophies. Medinah brought him one of his most important titles in the 1999 PGA Championship, when Woods was going through a 2 1/2-year drought in the majors that raised questions about whether his 1997 Masters title was a fluke. He nearly blew a five-shot lead in the final round until making a crucial par save on the 17th hole and hanging on for a one-shot victory over 19-year-old Sergio Garcia. That turned out to be a springboard to one of the most dominant stretches in golf. Starting with his victory at Medinah, Woods won 18 of his next 36 events on the PGA Tour, including a 5-of-6 run through the majors. A victory at Medinah could signal another big run.

Canny said investigators may have gotten Brady’s name from Anderson phone records seized by the government, though Anderson doesn’t refer to any other athletes in his brief statement. Brady attended the same Bay Area high school as Bonds. His agent, Donald Yee, couldn’t be reached for comment Wednesday, and the New SANTA CLARA – Running back Kevan Barlow insisted he is not concerned about a rumor that he might soon be traded to the New York Jets. “It’s just speculation,” Barlow said. The 49ers have made three playerfor-player trades in the past year after not making any such deals since 1988. Given all the trades, Barlow was asked whether he and other players wonder if they might be next. He bristled at the question. “I ain’t going to comment on that question,” he said. “No comment on that. I just told you I ain’t worried about it. I’m not worried about it, know what I mean? Coach (Mike) Nolan told me, he told you. I’m not worried about being traded. I’m here ANG Photo San Francisco running back Kevan Barlow is the subject of trade rumors with the New York Jets. ... I hope.” Nolan said Tuesday he has spoken with Barlow about the rumor, telling the sixth-year veteran there have not been “serious talks.” But Nolan said Wednesday he has not promised Barlow that he’ll be on the team. “No, I just reassured him I’m not having any communication,” Nolan said. “But I wouldn’t reassure anybody they’ll be with this team right now.” SPENCER HURT: The 49ers are hoping starting left cornerback Shawntae Spencer will not miss too much time after injuring his right hamstring Wednesday morning. Wednesday afternoon, the 49ers were awaiting results of an MRI. Nolan was only guessing, but said he was hopeful Spencer would only miss one week. Spencer was covering Antonio Bryant on a deep pass along the right sideline. He pulled up and fell to the ground just as Bryant was making a fingertip grab. The third-year player stayed down for more than five minutes while being tended to by athletic trainer Jeff Ferguson. Spencer returned to See 49ERS, Page 7 SAN DIEGO (AP) — The fatherin-law of embattled Tour de France winner Floyd Landis was found dead in his car after committing suicide, coroner’s officials said Wednesday. The body of David Witt, 57, was discovered at a parking garage Tuesday afternoon, said Paul Parker, an investigator with the San Diego County Medical Examiner. He had a gunshot wound to the head, and the death was ruled a suicide, Parker said. “The Landises are devastated by the news of David’s death,” family spokesman Michael Henson told The Associated Press. “They loved him dearly, and they miss him.” Witt was the stepfather of Landis’ wife, Amber. Although Witt had been deeply affected by recent doping allegations against Landis, close friend Dwight van Slyke said he did not believe that it directly led to the suicide. “It could have been a few percentages of the whole maybe, or just another negative thing that he was depressed over,” said van Slyke, adding Witt had also been struggling under the strain of opening a new restaurant earlier this year. An avid amateur cyclist, Witt met Landis through a mutual coach in 1998 and at one point the two shared an apartment in San Diego, Henson said. It was Witt who introduced Landis to his future wife and has been credited with introducing Landis — a former mountain biker — to the world of road racing. Witt and Landis were so close they served as best man at each other’s weddings, Henson said. Witt married Amber Landis’ mother Rose, a schoolteacher, a short time after the younger couple married in 2000. Landis, who lives in Murrieta, has been under investigation by cycling authorities after testing positive for high levels of testosterone last month. The Tour de France has said it no longer considers Landis its champion. The 30-year-old cyclist has cited a variety of possible reasons for his failed test: ingesting something that raised his testosterone, cortisone shots for pain in his degenerating hip, drinking beer and whiskey the night before the test, thyroid medication, his natural metabolism and dehydration. Funeral arrangements for Witt were pending. ANG Photo The Tour de France has said it no longer considers Floyd Landis its champion after a failed drug test. THE UKIAH DAILY JOURNAL SPORTS Feds Continued from Page 6 England Patriots declined comment on Anderson’s statement. “I don’t have any information on it,” Patriots spokesman Stacey James said. “I’m not going on hearsay.” Anderson has refused on four different occasions to testify before federal grand juries investigating Bonds. He was released from prison July 20 after serving 15 days for refusing to testify, but only after that grand jury’s term expired. “I will not ever make statements about other people,” Anderson said in the June 23 statement filed with the court. “That has always been my position and will continue to be.” Anderson could be headed back to jail if he stands by that policy. Government lawyers are investigating whether Bonds lied under oath when he told an earlier grand jury he didn’t know whether the substances given to him by Anderson were steroids. T he grand jury probe also reportedly is focused on whether the San Francisco Giants slugger paid taxes on the sale of hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of sports memorabilia. The New York Times reported last month that the grand jury is also looking into the possible involvement of Graham, the track coach of Marion Jones and Justin Gatlin, who tested positive earlier this year for elevated testosterone. Anderson previously served three months in prison after pleading guilty to steroid distribution and money laundering stemming from the government’s investigation of the Bay Area Laboratory CoOperative, which that allegedly supplied Bonds and other elite athletes with performance-enhancing drugs. Some legal experts see Anderson as the key to proving the perjury allegations, since Bonds reportedly testified that the trainer gave him two substances that fit the description of “the cream” and “the clear” — two performance-enhancing drugs linked to BALCO. In 2003, Bonds reportedly testified to the grand jury investigating BALCO that he believed the substances were flaxseed oil and arthritis balm, not steroids. Anderson also could offer insight into the doping calendars bearing Bonds’ name that were seized when federal agents raided Anderson’s house, according to court papers connected to the steroids probe. But Anderson’s lawyers say he shouldn’t have to testify because of the numerous leaks of secret grand jury testimony to the San Francisco Chronicle during the course of the four-year investigation. Chronicle reporters Lance Williams and Mark FainaruWada have written a book based largely on leaked testimony. A federal judge has told the reporters they must tell a grand jury who leaked them secret testimony. The pair have said they would go to jail rather than reveal their source or sources. Anderson’s lawyers also say the agreement he made with prosecutors to plead guilty last year in the BALCO case stipulated he wouldn’t have to cooperate in the investigation. Anderson also shouldn’t have to testify because he was the target of an illegal wiretap, they argue. The new grand jury ordering Anderson’s testimony can stay in session for as long as 18 months. By law, an intransigent Anderson can be locked up for the grand jury’s full term, though a judge can free him sooner if convinced he never will talk.

B RUNCH I S S ERVED ! “All-You-Can-Eat” Premium Weekend Brunch Buffet 7am-1pm Saturday & Sunday RANGERS 9, ANGELS 3 Bench-clearing brawl in Texas The Associated Press ARLINGTON, Texas — A volatile series turned violent Wednesday night when Adam Kennedy charged the mound after being hit by a pitch from Texas’ Scott Feldman, triggering a bench-clearing brawl in the Rangers’ 9-3 victory over the Los Angeles Angels. A night after Rangers starter Vicente Padilla was ejected for hitting two Angels with pitches and nearly plunking a third, tensions between the AL West rivals finally boiled over. Kennedy was hit an inning after the Angels had two pitchers and manager Mike Scioscia ejected because two Rangers’ hitters were nailed. Feldman threw his glove down as Kennedy charged the mound and Feldman hit Kennedy in the armpit with a punch. Rangers third baseman Mark DeRosa sprinted toward the mound and tackled Kennedy as both benches and bullpens emptied. Angels right-hander John Lackey ran from the dugout and had to be restrained from going after Rangers players. The umpires restored order about four minutes later. Rangers manager Buck Showalter was tossed out for a second straight game. Kennedy and Feldman were also ejected. In the bottom of the eighth, Angels reliever Kevin Gregg threw well behind Ian Kinsler, and plate umpire Sam Holbrook warned both dugouts. Gregg and Scioscia were ejected when he hit the next batter, Michael Young, in the back with a pitch. Brendan Donnelly relieved and he was thrown out after four pitches when he plunked Freddy Guzman. Bench coach Ron Roenicke, who took over for Scioscia, also was ejected. Rookie Nelson Cruz hit his first grand slam in an eightrun third inning for the Rangers and Adam Eaton allowed two runs in seven innings. Cruz, acquired from the Milwaukee Brewers along with Carlos Lee in a six-player trade on July 28, hit the Rangers’ eighth grand slam of the season off Gregg. Cruz’s long fly just cleared the left-field wall and stretched the lead to 9-0. Kinsler also homered in the third for the Rangers, who’ve won six of seven. * OR ENJOY A SINGLE PREMIUM WEEKEND BRUNCH BUFFET FOR HALF PRICE.

SPORTS 8 – THURSDAY, AUG. 17, 2006 THE UKIAH DAILY JOURNAL RAIDERS NFL TRAINING CAMPS Focus on turnovers pays off Owens ends ‘Tour de NAPA — Linebackers practice stripping the ball away from offensive players. Defensive backs tip passes to each other trying for interceptions. Backup quarterbacks even have purposely dropped snaps from center to give linemen the chance to practice recovering fumbles. Turnovers — both preventing and causing them — have been a strong point of emphasis for Oakland Raiders coach Art Shell this preseason. “I never had to work on turnovers so much during practice,” defensive lineman Lance Johnstone said. “The first game showed you. I’ve never been on a team where we actually had a special part of practice where offense and defense is just working on turnovers. It’s definitely going to help us out.” The results have been evident so far this preseason. The Raiders forced five turnovers in the preseason opener against Philadelphia and followed that with two more 49ers Continued from Page 6 the locker room on a cart. Sammy Davis replaced Spencer on the first team, and Derrick Johnson moved up to the “dime” unit. B.J. Tucker also will see time in the dime once he is over his ankle injury. Right now he’s limited to individual drills. Additionally, backup linebacker Parys Haralson remained sidelined the day after injuring the bottom of his left foot. Nolan did not provide much new detail on the fifthround draft choice other than to say he was “sore” Wednesday and would miss Tiger Continued from Page 6 where he overpowered the course and won by three for his 50th career title. “I saw him hit a few shots, and he had that kind of swagger ... that kind of strut he has when he’s playing really well, that ’no one is beating me’ look in his eye,” U.S. Open champion Geoff Ogilvy said. “He hasn’t had that for a while. You don’t think, ’Here we go again,’ but you’re happy that the best player in history is back playing the way he can.” Woods won that 2001 Masters after playing the final round with Phil Mickelson, beating him by two shots. They haven’t played together in a major since then, although that will change when the PGA Championship begins Thursday morning. Leave it to the final major of the year to deliver the pairing everyone wants to see. The PGA puts together the three major champions of the year for the first two rounds, and it should be quite a show. “The expectations of Phil must be very high to knock Tiger off his pedestal,” Michael Campbell said. “He’s playing great right now. They’re both playing great. It’s going to be a great spectacle for all of us, really, to see these best two players in the world fight it out over the next four days.” For a dozen or so other players, more than just the Wanamaker Trophy is on the line. This is the final qualifying event for the Ryder Cup — the top 10 in the standings make the U.S. team, and captain Tom Lehman will announce his two picks on Monday. Some 90 players still have a mathematical chance. It wasn’t like this at Medinah in 1999, because the points system didn’t feature such wild fluctuations. Hot stretches in the summer enabled unheralded players like Vaughn Taylor, J.J. Henry and Brett Wetterich to climb Monday against Minnesota, including recovering a fumble on the opening kickoff. That’s a far cry from last season, when Oakland forced only 19 turnovers in 16 games. The Raiders’ five interceptions were the fewest by any team in a 16-game season. “I hope we continue to do that,” Shell said. “We just need to make sure we get them during the regular season when we open up in San Diego. They’re working on it. It’s a point of emphasis for us coming into training camp and those guys are really working hard on it. They love the turnover drill now. They get a kick out of it because they see results.” One reason for the lack of interceptions last year was inexperience in the secondary. When Charles Woodson went down with a season-ending injury in October, the secondary was left without an experienced leader and the young group struggled. The inability to cause turnovers made it difficult for the defense to get off the field, but that could change this season. Cornerback Fabian Washington, last year’s firstround draft pick, already has one interception this preseason after getting none as a rookie, and plans to take more chances this season. “That’s how I played in college,” Washington said. “I don’t think it’s gambling. I think it’s taking an educated guess. You watch enough film to know what the offense is pretty much going to do, so now you have to take your shots.” Along with practicing creating turnovers each day, the Raiders have also put a greater emphasis on speed on defense. Rookie Thomas Howard is starting at outside linebacker because of his speed, and Kirk Morrison has moved from the outside to the middle, where he should be able to roam from sideline to sideline. First-round pick Michael Huff is expected to start at safety and use his speed and big hitting all over the field. more than a week. Newcomer Bobby Iwuchukwu filled in for Haralson. Tight end Eric Johnson was pulled from the morning practice with tightness in a hip and probably will not practice today. Offensive lineman Adam Snyder (bicep) was limited to individual drills. Receiver Arnaz Battle (knee) practiced but is being limited to non-contact situations. JACOBS PRACTICES: Receiver Taylor Jacobs, acquired Monday from Washington for cornerback Mike Rumph, practiced with his new team for the first time Wednesday morning. “I know that my skill is not the issue,” said Jacobs, who has caught only 30 passes in his first three seasons. “I just need a fresh start to get the ball rolling my way.” Jacobs’ most notable moment Wednesday came when he dropped a deep pass from backup quarterback Trent Dilfer. COSTUME PARTY: Nolan said he is looking forward to seeing how his team performs in front of a hostile crowd at Oakland on Sunday. “(The fans) dress up for the affair so it’ll be nice to see all the new costumes,” Nolan said. Of the get-tough policy enacted by new Raiders coach Art Shell, Nolan said, “We’ll see if they have gotten tougher. ... We’ll see what Art’s got going over there.” into the top 10. Right behind is John Rollins, who received more points for winning the B.C. Open than Chris DiMarco got as runner-up at the British Open. It has caused the PGA of America to defend its new system before the Ryder Cup even has been played. Who knows? Maybe the United States will win for a change. “It’s really too early to judge whether the system will work,” PGA president Roger Warren said. This beats the Ryder Cup flap at Medinah last time, when Woods, Mickelson, David Duval and Mark O’Meara were critical of the PGA of America for raking in a $23 million profit from the event. The players wanted some input on how the income was being spent and were accused of wanting to be paid for playing in the Ryder Cup. Now, each player can direct $200,000 of the proceeds to the charity and college of his choice. But it became a divisive issue, and the finger-pointing by captain Ben Crenshaw didn’t help. “It burns the hell out of me to listen to some of their viewpoints,” Crenshaw said at the time, even though he ultimately made more money than anyone off the Ryder Cup. Lehman saw a positive connection between then and now. The last time the U.S. team won the Ryder Cup was in 1999, the year the team was finalized at Medinah. “I think we’ve got a good karma going,” he said. “I’m not too worried about the sideline issues.” Oxnard,’ starts practicing The Associated Press OXNARD – Terrell Owens ditched the bike and got back onto the field for the Dallas Cowboys. He did keep them waiting, though. Owens, who missed 14 straight practices because of a hamstring problem, was the last player on the field Wednesday in Oxnard. He did ride the stationary bicycle on the sideline, where he’s spent the last two weeks, but this time just for a quick warmup before the only practice of the day — his first since Aug. 2. Coach Bill Parcells wasn’t sure if Owens’ return to practice meant he’d be available for Monday night’s game against New Orleans. “That doesn’t mean he would play,” Parcells said. “He has missed a lot of time. It wouldn’t be so much whether he practiced or not, as to how he looked, how much he practiced and did he get enough practice to make a good judgment about playing him.” Based on how Owens was running around the previous two days, he should be OK. While Owens was back, lots of NFL players were sidelined by injury or suspension. Nowhere has training camp been more chaotic than with the Cleveland Browns. They discovered Wednesday that Alonzo Ephraim, an emergency signing after center LeCharles Bentley went down with a season-ending knee injury, was suspended for the first four regular-season games for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy. He will be eligible to rejoin the Browns’ active ros- MENDO-LAKE OFFICE PRODUCTS $ ave We s time and 5¢ per copy w Ne ier l p a o C eci Sp At Up to 100 Copies With Coupon Coupon Expires 07-31-06 Lakeport Camper ’s t I HOT!! ’s It Summer Pricing in Effect 263-7755 Monday - Friday •8am - 5pm ~ EVERY TRUCK ACCESSORY ~ ©Disney By JOSH DUBOW The Associated Press ter Oct. 2. Ephraim’s suspension comes after Bentley’s injury and the sudden retirement of backup center Bob Hallen. The Browns rushed to sign Ephraim as a free agent July 29, two days after Bentley tore his patellar tendon on the second day of camp. Cleveland’s desperation to get a veteran center and bad timing resulted in the club not knowing about Ephraim’s pending suspension, Crennel said. The signing took place on a Saturday when the league’s offices were closed. “We were in a situation where we needed a body and he was available,” Crennel said. “All of the lines of communication were not open and we went ahead and made a move. As it turns out, he’s suspended. It was one of those things that happened because we weren’t able to communicate the way we needed to.” Lee Suggs returned to practice Wednesday, one day after his trade to New York was voided when the Jets said the oft-injured running back had failed his physical. “I was shocked,” he said. “I practiced throughout training camp and all of the spring. I did all the workouts, passed the physicals here and everything was fine. Then I went up to New York, and I failed. So, yes I was shocked.” Washington Redskins Defensive end Phillip Daniels is the latest injured Redskin, out for a week or so with a sprained back. Trainer Bubba Tyer, who was in Alabama on Monday for Clinton Portis’ shoulder exam and in North Carolina on Tuesday for Shawn Springs’ surgery, was back at Redskins Park on Wednesday, and he had a daunting list of patients to discuss with coach Joe Gibbs. “There’s a lot going on the last couple of days,” said Gibbs, whose team has also made 10 roster moves plus a trade in the last 72 hours. Daniels was hurt in Tuesday’s practice and was sent to a specialist for an MRI. The good news is that Daniels should recover in plenty of time for the season opener Sept. 11 against Minnesota. Tyer indicated Springs, who had an operation to repair a torn abdominal muscle, would have only an outside chance of playing in the opener. Tyer was slightly more optimistic that Portis, recovering from a partially dislocated shoulder, would play against the Vikings. Indianapolis Colts Safety Jahmile Addae became ill during the morning practice and was taken to a hospital, where he was expected to undergo further tests. Addae, an undrafted rookie from West Virginia, gave the Colts a scare when he became lightheaded. By the afternoon, coach Tony Dungy said Addae was feeling better and his vital signs had returned to normal. “We’re not sure what it was,” Dungy said. “We don’t think it was a blow to the head, and it doesn’t appear of the cardiac nature, either.” Denver Broncos RB Ron Dayne, who injured his toe in the preseason opener against Detroit, struggled to climb steps Wednesday, using the railing for support. He said he doesn’t expect to play Saturday against Tennessee.

Paul Bunyan Days Logging Show set for Sept. 3 Mendocino County loggers will compete with loggers from neighboring counties for $10,000 in cash prizes. This tri-county event will be open for the first time to loggers of Mendocino, Lake and Humboldt counties. The show will start at 10 a.m. to accommodate additional activities. The location is in the field just off Highway 1, on Todd’s Point in Fort Bragg. For loggers, this is an opportunity to win serious cash, just by pitting logging skills against those of family, friends, and neighbors. This is a chance to show who’s really master of the block. Andy Fales was last year’s top logger, as usual. Andy won first place in the Single Buck, Chain Saw, Hand Chop, Double Buck and Jack and Jill events. And Tom Fales Sr., Andy’s 74year-old grandfather, walked away with the Ol’ Time Logger prize money. Frank Fales III took first place in the Axe Throw, Rick Rial was first in Choker Setting, and Nathan Orsi was fastest in the Pole Climb. The logging show is family-style entertainment with events ranging from the Youth Kingof-the-Log Pillow Fight, to the Ol’ Timers competition for loggers over 60. Other competitions include: the 20-foot Ax Throw, the Single and Double Buck Handsaw, Jack and Jill Handsaw, Chain Saw Bucking, Hand Chopping, Choker Setting, and a Pole Climb. The prize money is big: $1,000 for the All Around Logger, $500, $300, and $200 for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in each event, totaling $10,000. The entry fee is $15 per event, or $50 to compete in as many events as one would like. The logging show demonstrates the roots of what built the town of Fort Bragg and other communities along the Mendocino Coast. Between events, spectators and participants can watch something new - the folks from Bailey’s Woodsman’s Supplies turning logs into lumber using a portable sawmill. Events and demos will be an entertaining way to witness what’s quickly becoming a lost art. Call 964-3356 for an application or to volunteer to be a timer, scorekeeper, or wood handler.

I am waiting for the lab to call back. In the meantime, my husband has shunned me. I don’t know if I contracted this from him (I know that Type 1 cold sores can transfer and infect other areas), or if it is something I contracted years ago and no symptoms showed up until now. I have been completely faithful to my husband, but now he doubts that. Is there information that can help him accept me? -Infected in California Dear Infected: A person can contract genital herpes through normal sexual contact or through oral sex if one partner is infected with oral herpes (cold sores). Some people have no outward symptoms, or their symptoms are mistaken for other conditions, and they live with the virus for years without knowing they have it. If you are symptomfree, a regular gynecological check-up would ANNIE’S MAILBOX By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar not necessarily diagnose herpes, since you have to specifically ask to be tested. Either you or your husband could have contracted this virus before your marriage, or you could have gotten it through oral sex. We hope your husband will give you the benefit of the doubt, and he, too, should see his doctor. In the meantime, please contact the American Social Health Association (ashastd.org) or their STI Research Center Hotline at 1-800-227-8922. Dear Annie: Nearly 20 years ago, I officiated at my first wedding. I did not know how to react when a mother could not quiet her two screaming toddlers, but I have since THURSDAY EVENING 6:00 6:30 7:00 7:30 8:00 8:30 9:00 9:30 10:00 10:30 11:00 made it my responsibility to handle such things. There is absolutely nothing wrong with having children present, but a screaming, crying, disruptive child absolutely distracts from the primary reason a congregation has gathered. Parents often try to “shush” their infant, which only intensifies the attention turned toward them. I have been baffled when parents refuse to leave such a holy occasion with a screaming child because they do not want to miss out on the ceremony. Quite frankly, that is rather selfish. I would appreciate it if you would remind your readers about this important part of etiquette -- not simply for weddings, but for funeral and worship services as well. Here is a simple guideline: If you have a disruptive child, try to calm them, but if the disruption continues, leave. Some places of worship have a crying room, where the service is piped in. Otherwise, go to a nearby park, lobby, whatever, but please take the needs of the whole congregation into consideration. I speak as a father of three, and have, at times, had to carry my own child out of a service. (P.S. Turn off your cell phones while you’re at it.) -- Pleading Priest Dear Pleading Priest: We understand that parents don’t want to miss these important events, but a screaming child makes it unpleasant for everyone. We hope all parents will remember your words (about the cell phones, too). Dear Annie: I have a suggestion for “Lonely in New Haven, Conn.,” who had trouble finding friends. She should check into the Red Hat Society in her area (redhatsociety.com). This is a group of women over 50 who wear red hats and just want to have fun. Red Hats was started in Southern California by Sue Ellen Cooper. We already have 16 chapters in our area (Kelowna, British Columbia) and had a fabulous threeday convention here just last month. -- Purple Hugs From Claire Dear Claire: We have mentioned the Red Hat Society in this column before, and we think it’s a great organization and hope she will check it out. 8/17/06 BROADCAST CHANNELS C E F G G I J U e i m s NFL Preseason Football: Chiefs at Giants Cheers $ Friends $ News Extra (N) Hollywood Name Earl The Office Bay Judge J.

It’s a big conspiracy with publishing companies ... They are in business to make money, but there needs to be more of a consensus among educators to say, ‘We don’t really need new editions,’” Cooper said as she purchased her textbooks on Wednesday. Meredith Hudson, also buying books Wednesday, agreed they are “definitely” one of her biggest expenses. “Although ... I think I might have spent more on registration this year,” she said. (California Community colleges cost $26 per unit, which is much less than the cost of a four-year college, but still a crunch for many students.) After doing calculations in her head, Hudson decided she spends the most money on art supplies. “I spent the most on art supplies. I am a ceramist. I run through a lot of tools, and they are really expensive; so is clay. I spent about $200 on books, $329 on registration, and I probably spend about $1,000 per year on art supplies. Each bag of clay is $10 and I go through a bag a week during each semester.” Asked her biggest back-toschool expense, Rabecca Ford, a Willits High School senior taking two classes at the local college, said “books.” Ford spent $200 on two books, she said. “Students are really impacted by the cost of books,” Mendocino College Director of energy and fuel-saving technology and products, along with entertainment, food and drink. Headlining the entertainment will be the David Grisman Bluegrass Experience. In a career spanning four decades, mandolinist/ composer David Grisman has recorded and produced dozens of critically acclaimed recordings of acoustic music, five of which have been nominated for Grammy Awards. There will also be performances by Vince Herman of Leftover Salmon, Bay area rockers New Monsoon, and bluegrass jammers Hot Buttered Rum. On Saturday night, the Moondance will feature the flamencadelic grooves of Alma Melodiosa, a Haute Trash fashion show, the Gaiatronic sounds of DJ Dragonfly, Veggie Oil Wrestling and much much more. Moondance is free with every paid SolFest admission. Turtles Continued from Page 1 midway of the fairgrounds and check the number on the bottom of the turtle, which corresponds to the adopter. “If your lucky turtle is pulled from the lagoon, you are a winner,” Elmore said. Turtles aside, the day will consist of local talents performing on stage, Jubilee Jumps’ bounce houses, a dunk tank, cotton candy machine, popcorn machine and more. The Mendocino County Sheriff’s K-9 units will also be roaming the premises and answering questions people may have about the dogs and their trainers. A fire safety trailer -staffed by Ukiah Valley Fire District and the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection -- will also be set up at the event to help Isaac Eckel/The Daily Journal Sharla Robertson and her son Cody, of Fort Bragg, leave Mervyn’s department store with bags full of back-to-school clothes on Wednesday. Public Information Ross Beck said. “It’s just unbelievable now, it’s approaching $100 per book,” he said, noting, however, the college does offer some book scholarships and book vouchers to help, as well as financial aid to those students who qualify. For example, full-time student Ron Valadez paid $17 for his tuition because he was able to get a Board Of Governors fee waiver, and the College Assistance Migrant Program took care of his books, he said. Asked why electronics were a bigger expense at the college level than the junior college level, Beck said: “A number of four-year institutions require that you have a laptop or an iPod, because they are distributing information to their students electronically, not with paperwork. At Mendocino College, we do not require a student to have electronic equipment in order to get their lessons from teach children how to prevent a fire and how to get out of a structure fire safely. Kings Cup will be on scene serving cold drinks, and staff from Raley’s and Home Depot will also be doing activities with the children, Elmore said. The turtles are currently available for adoption at Ken Fowler Auto Center, Raley’s and Taco Bell in Ukiah. They can also be adopted at the event on Saturday. A $50 donation adopts a family of turtles -- 10 turtles in the race, store coupons and a commemorative T-shirt; a $25 donation adopts a Snap Pack -- five turtles in the race and a commemorative Tshirt; and a $5 donation adopts one turtle in the race. Admission to Taco Bell Turbo Turtle Trek is free. The fairgrounds are located at 1055 N. State St. For more information faculty. Our faculty distributes information (via paper or online) to meet the students’ needs.” K through 12 Families with school-aged children will also be spending more on back-to-school shopping this year than last, with the average family spending $527, up from $444 in 2005, according to the NRF. Of that amount, the average consumer is expected to spend around $228 on apparel, $98 on shoes, and $86 on school supplies such as notebooks, folders, pencils, backpacks and lunchboxes, according to the NRF. Total spending for K-12 is estimated to reach $17.6 billion, up from $13.4 billion last year. Asked what it takes to purchase his school clothes, Fort Bragg High School junior Cody Robertson, loaded with shopping bags outside of Mervyn’s on Wednesday, said: “A lot of money.” More precisely, his mother, Sharla Robertson, said: “Usually around $500 ... that’s what it takes, and that’s with one pair of shoes.” The combined $54.2 billion spent in the United States this year for back-to-school and back-to-college will rank second only to holiday spending, according to the NRF. For those who want to learn how to reduce energy bills, or wean themselves from their gasoline vehicles, there will be many opportunities to learn. Presenters in six workshop areas will cover topics from renewable energy and post-petroleum preparation to yoga and health. More than 60 workshops are free with the price of admission. In the lineup of panels and speakers on the main stage, people can hear the latest news in alternative fuels, with experts discussing pros and cons of biodiesel, hydrogen, ethanol and electric vehicles. Experts will update you on the latest breakthroughs in solar and renewable energy technologies and policy. And keynoting on the main stage will be national political commentator Jim Hightower, often called “America’s most popular populist.” In addition to Hightower, this year attendees will also hear Hollywood icon Ed Begley Jr., activist Caroline Casey, and Air America radio host Betsy Rosenberg.
