Codefendant says teacher not part of pot grow
By BEN BROWN
The Daily Journal
Jeff Burrell, the Ukiah teacher
arrested on charges of marijuana cultivation last week, may not have
been involved in that garden, accord-
ing to a statement signed by his
codefendant, Steven Laino, 46, of
Ukiah.
David Eyster, Burrell’s attorney,
said Laino has signed a letter saying
that Burrell was not involved in the
marijuana grow.
“He contacted my office and said
it was not true,” Eyster said.
Laino and Burrell were arrested
April 21 on suspicion of possession
of marijuana for sale, cultivation of

In a bust described as puzzling
by police, members of the
Mendocino County Major Crimes
Task Force raided a residential
motel in South Ukiah Tuesday
morning and seized more than a
pound of methamphetamine.
Task Force Commander Bob
Nishiyama said the Task Force had
been investigating several men living at the Thunderbird Lodge at
2655 S. State St. on the belief that
they were selling methamphetamine out of two rooms.
At around 7 a.m. Tuesday, offi-
cers served a search warrant on
Room 8 and found Antonio
Villanueve, 46, and Jose Garcia,
41, in the room. Officers seized 40
small “clone” marijuana plants
and three quarters of an ounce of
methamphetamine, Nishiyama
said.
In Room 17, officers found

pounds of marijuana, a quarter
ounce of methamphetamine,
$19,000 in cash and a shotgun,
Nishiyama said.
In Garcia’s pocket, officers
found the keys to a car parked in
the motel parking lot. A search of
the car revealed a pound of
methamphetamine.
A 17-year-old Willits girl sustained minor
injuries Monday night when the car she was
driving knocked down a power pole on
Tomki Road.
California Highway Patrol Officer Randy
Englund said 17-year-old Kaylee Aguilar
was eastbound in a 2000 Toyota west of
Jenkins Road about 8 p.m. Monday.
Englund said Aguilar was traveling at an
unknown speed when she lost control of her
vehicle and collided with the power pole,
shearing it off at the base.
She was taken to Ukiah Valley Medical
Center for treatment. Pacific Gas and
Electric was called out to repair the downed
power pole.

A $27,000 fine this week from the North
Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board
against the city of Ukiah for improperly treating its wastewater will result in less erosion
near Orr Creek when part of the money is used
for streambank rehabilitation later this year.
The fine came as a result of Ukiah’s antiquated wastewater treatment plant, built in
1958, failing for almost eight years to treat the
water discharged into nearby ponds at an
acceptable standard. Now, almost two years
into the $56 million upgrade project at the
city’s wastewater treatment plant, it appears
compliance is on the horizon.
“We have a wastewater plant project
because we know we have improvements that
need to be made,” said Ann Burck, interim
water and sewer operations superintendent.
“We didn’t always consistently meet those
standards, and we received penalties for that,
but it takes a while to make major improvements. It doesn’t happen overnight.”
Although the upgrades at the plant are still
more than a year from the expected completion date of June 2009, a remedy to the fines
has already been found, Burck said.
“We worked with the Regional Board, and
one of the things they allowed us to do -- in
lieu of paying the entire $27,000 penalty at
once -- was to pay $10,000 directly, and then
we submitted another environmental project
that will be $17,000,” Burck said.
The environmental project, which will be
completed by the Community Services
Department, will come in the form of streambank rehabilitation at a tributary near Orr
Creek at the north end of Ukiah. The project’s
goal is to reduce the sedimentation that goes
into Orr Creek, which ultimately feeds into the
Russian River. According to Burck, the project
was a means of helping both parties involved.
“At least this way the $17,000 directly benefits the community,” she said.
Burck said the project had to be completed
by December, but hadn’t begun because four
permits are still needed. She said once the permits have been approved and received, work
at the tributary would begin immediately.

knowing it was there. He said
Laino had been growing marijuana at that site for several
years.
“Burrell was aware the
marijuana was back there, but
he was never involved,”
Eyster said.
Eyster said Burrell stored
his construction equipment at
the front of the warehouse and
that Laino kept the marijuana
grow in the back.
“He (Burrell) had a key to
the warehouse, but not to the
grow area,” Eyster said.
Ukiah Police Detective
Dave McQueary said that, in
an interview with Laino the
day of the arrest, Laino told
officers he and Burrell were
both having debt problems
and decided to grow marijuana to make money, with the
understanding they would
split the proceeds 50-50.
“I don’t know what he
(Laino) signed after he spoke
to us,” McQueary said.
According to UPD reports,
Laino told officers he had put
up $15,000 for supplies and
Burrell had built the grow
room in the warehouse at 765
N. State St.
McQueary said Burrell
leases the warehouse and that
the electricity bill is in his
name. McQueary said Burrell
was arrested after arriving at
scene; Eyster said Burrell
arrived at the warehouse after
he was escorted there by
police, who had pulled him
over.
McQueary said Burrell is
still considered a suspect in
the case.
Eyster was also critical of
the
Mendocino
County
District Attorney’s Office,
which has refused to turn over
copies of the police report
until after Burrell and Laino
are arraigned May 21.
“We lose a month, and evidence may be getting lost,” he
said.
Burrell is a teacher and athletic coach at Ukiah High
School and owns Accurate
Construction. He has been
suspended from his teaching
job pending the outcome of
his trial.
Burrell and Laino are
scheduled for arraignment on
May 21.

The world briefly
Obama says he’s outraged by pastor’s
comments, saddened by spectacle
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) — Barack Obama angrily
denounced his former pastor for “divisive and destructive”
remarks on race, seeking to divorce himself from the incendiary
speaker and a fury that threatens to engulf his front-running
Democratic presidential campaign.
Obama is trying to tamp down the uproar over the Rev.
Jeremiah Wright at a tough time in his campaign. The Illinois senator is coming off a loss in Pennsylvania to rival Hillary Rodham
Clinton and trying to win over white working-class voters in
Indiana and North Carolina in next Tuesday’s primaries.
“I am outraged by the comments that were made and saddened
over the spectacle that we saw yesterday,” Obama told reporters at
a news conference Tuesday.ΩHis strong words come just six
weeks after Obama delivered a sweeping speech on race in which
he sharply condemned Wright’s remarks but did not leave the
church or repudiate the minister himself, who he said was like a
family member. After weeks of staying out of the public eye while
critics lambasted his sermons, the former pastor of Trinity United
Church of Christ in Chicago made three public appearances in four
days to defend himself.

Gold futures dive as dollar
strengthens, crude oil retreats
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 30, 2008 – 3
[email protected]

commerce

By K.C. Meadows
By STEVENSON JACOBS
AP Business Writer
NEW YORK --Gold futures
plunged to a four-month low
Tuesday after a stronger dollar
and a drop in crude prices fed
selling of the metal traditionally
viewed as a hedge against inflation.
Other commodities fell in a
broad sell-off, with silver, copper,
heating oil and agriculture futures
all trading lower.
The dollar strengthened against
several major currencies as
investors bet that the Federal
Reserve may be poised to wind up
its interest-rate cutting campaign
and turn its attention to curbing
inflation. The Fed, which begins a
two-day policy meeting Tuesday
afternoon, is expected to cut its
benchmark rate by a quarter point
on Wednesday but then hold
steady for the rest of the year.
Lower rates can boost the
economy but tend to undercut the
dollar, encouraging investors to
buy hard assets like gold, which is
known for holdings its value.
“Many people expect tomorrow’s rate cut will be the last for
some time, so that would alleviate
some downward pressure on the
dollar and take away from the
upward pressure on gold,” said
Carlos Sanchez, analyst with
CPM Group in New York.
Gold for June delivery dropped
$18.70 to settle at $876.80 an
ounce on the New York
Mercantile Exchange. The contract earlier fell as low as
$873.80, its lowest level since
Jan. 22. Gold is up 3 percent so
far this year but has retreated far
There’s a new tasting room in Hopland
opened by local organic entrepreneur Guinness
McFadden. Sherrilynn Goates, the tasting room
manager, tells me that they’ll be open Monday
through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at 13275 S.
Highway 101.
Many area residents already know McFadden
from his years as a local organic grower. Goates
explains that McFadden moved to Potter Valley
37 years ago, convinced that he didn’t need -- or
want -- the chemical pesticides or herbicides so
common in modern agriculture. As a California
Certified Organic farmer, McFadden grows and
sells a wide variety of specialty foods including
organic beef, garlic braids, herb/bay wreaths,
wild rice, organic culinary herbs and herb
blends. But, says Goates, he is most proud of his
award-winning organic wines, including pinot
gris, riesling, zinfandel, sauvignon blanc,
chardonnay and pinot noir. You can buy all of
the McFadden farm goods at the tasting room, so
stop by or call them at 744-VINE.
from its record of $1,038.60 set
March 17.
Analysts blame the slide on
profit-taking after the run-up,
weak demand for jewelry and a
sense among investors that the
worst of the credit crisis may have
passed, which would diminish
gold’s allure as a safe-haven
metal.
“Given the upward surge in
gold this year, it’s probably logical that prices would come off,”
Sanchez said, adding that prices
could recover in the coming
months.Other precious metals
also fell Tuesday. Silver for May
delivery dropped 47.3 cents to
settle at $16.545 an ounce on the
Nymex, while May copper fell
3.6 cents to $3.8995 a pound.
In energy markets, crude oil
fell more than $3 a barrel on the
stronger dollar and data showing
falling demand even as supplies
are rising. A monthly Energy
Department report said demand
for finished petroleum products
dropped 8.5 percent in February
from January, and demand for
gasoline fell by 6.2 percent.
Light, sweet crude for June
delivery fell $2.94 to $115.81 a
barrel on the New York
Mercantile Exchange.
Other energy futures also traded lower. May gasoline futures
fell 8.76 cents to $2.9431 a gallon
on the Nymex, while May heating
oil futures dropped 4.62 cents to
$3.2526 a gallon.
In agriculture futures, wheat
prices fell sharply amid expectations that an improved U.S. crop
will help ease supply global concerns. Wheat for May delivery
fell 31.5 cents to $7.945 a bushel
on the Chicago Board of Trade.
Other agriculture futures also
fell. May soybeans lost 3.5 cents
to $12.80 a bushel on the CBOT,
while May corn fell 9 cents to
$5.91 a bushel.
Yawns: New breed of rich and young but frugal
By EVELYN NIEVES
The Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO -- They drive hybrid
cars, if they drive at all, shop at local stores, if
they shop at all and pay off their credit cards
every month, if they use them at all.
They may have disposable income, but
whatever they make, they live below their
means, in a conscious effort to tread lightly on
the earth.
They are a new breed of Gen Xers and Ys,
Young and Wealthy but Normal, or Yawns.
The acronym comes from The Sunday
Telegraph of London, which noted that an
increasing number of rich young Britons are
socially aware, concerned about the environment and given less to consuming than to giving money to charity.
Yawns sound dull, but they are the new
movers and shakers, their dreams big and
bold. They are men and women in their 20s,
30s and 40s who want nothing less than to
change the world and save the planet.
Take Sean Blagsvedt, who moved from
Seattle to India in 2004 to help build the local
office of Microsoft Research. Moved by
young children begging on the streets,
Blagsvedt quit Microsoft and launched two
networking
sites,
babajob.com
and
babalife.com, to link India’s vast pool of
potential workers with the people who need
labor. The larger goal -- to reduce poverty.
Far from the techie cafe life, Blagsvedt, 32,
lives at babajob’s headquarters in Bangalore, a
3,000-square-foot apartment where his mother
and stepfather also live and 15 workers come
and go every day.
“I’m a happy person,” he said. “It’s great to
do something that you believe in doing.”
The high-tech world has spawned some
Yawns, but they can sprout anywhere. In fact,
Yawns are a subset of a growing global movement of the eco-socially aware. The state of
the economy and the state of the planet have
inspired people to consider what they buy and
how they spend in ways not seen since the
“Small is Beautiful” and ecology movements
of the 1970s.
The movement makes perfect sense, said
David Grusky, a sociologist at Stanford
University, since society tends to follow
cycles -- with anti-materialist periods like the
hippie movement generating a pro-materialist
reaction -- the yuppie period, and so on. Not to
mention, he adds, that the evidence of major
climate change and a concern with terrorism
gives rise to more interest in spiritual as
opposed to material objectives.
The upshot, he said, is that “A cultural and
demographic ’perfect storm’ may well push us
decisively toward an extreme form of postmaterialism in the upcoming period.”
That helps explain why Earth Day has
become so big again, why products are all
going “green” and why freecycle.org, an
Internet community bulletin board where
members offer items for free, has grown in
five years from a dozen members in Tucson,
Ariz., to a network of over 3,000 cities in 80
countries.
Deron Beal, the site’s founder, counts 4
million members, and growing by 20,000 to
50,000 members each week.
“People have many reasons for freecycling,” said Beal. “But the biggest reason is
environmental -- reusing and recycling instead
of helping create more waste.”
Could it also be that we are sick to death of
buying stuff?
Pam Danziger, a consumer trends expert,
thinks so. “The green thing is just a small part
of it,” said Danziger, whose firm, Unity
Marketing, has new research showing luxury
spending is way down. “Americans have been
on a buying binge for the last 10 years,” she
said. “Our closets are full. Our attics are full.
Our garages are full. Enough already!”
Yawns live small, but they already own
whatever they want.
Rik Wehbring, a 37-year-old dot.com millionaire -- he worked for multiple startups -limits himself to living on $50,000 a year.
That’s no chump change but well below what
he could spend in San Francisco, where his
rent eats up 40 percent of his allotted spending. Wehbring doesn’t own a television, his
mp3 player cost $20 (“and it works just fine”)
and he drives (when he drives) a Toyota Prius.
He buys most of his food from local farmers’ markets, is leaving the bulk of his estate to
various environmental organizations and
donates money to what he considers worthy
causes. Everyday, he grapples with “how to
live a low-carbon life.”
But Wehbring doesn’t buy clothes, or much
of anything.
“I don’t need a lot of material possessions,”
he said. “I haven’t had to buy anything in a
while.”
Such frugality seems to run in his circle.
Brad Marshland, 44, the husband of
Wehbring’s cousin, is a successful filmmaker
living near Berkeley. He and his wife and two
sons, ages 10 and 12, dry their clothes on a
line, grow their own vegetables and buy what
they need at garage sales and second-hand
stores. (Second-hand stores are to Yawns what
The Gap was to Yuppies.)
“We’re pretty low on the stuff scale,”
Marshland said.
Marshland offsets his family’s “carbon
footprint” -- how much energy it uses -- by
donating money to environmental groups
online.
Yawns hate ostentation.
When Ray Sidney, a software engineer at
Google, cashed in his stock options in 2003,
they yielded him more money than he could
ever burn through in his lifetime. (Billions?
He won’t say.) But instead of building himself
a 10,000-square foot mansion in the
Googledom of Silicon Valley, he retired to a
four-bedroom house in Stateline, Nev., and
started giving money away.
He has given $400,000 to a local arts council to help build a new arts center, $1 million
to a bus company to help launch a route so that
casino workers wouldn’t have to rely on private transportation to get to and from work,
and $1.7 million for a new football field and
track at a local high school, for example.
Sidney also donates millions to charities
that try to cure diseases or save the world.
His one rich-guy, carbon-hogging guilt trip:
a single engine plane he flies about once a
week to see his girlfriend in San Francisco.
But his pet project these days is pure Yawn.
He is building what he calls “an environmentally friendly affordable housing development” on 100 acres near his home in Stateline.
“This world and our society and the people
in it are good and worthwhile,” he said, by
way of explanation, “and I think it’s worth
spending money to keep it around and try to
improve it.”
Yahoo to outsource Messenger phone calls to Jajah
By PETER SVENSSON
AP Technology Writer
NEW YORK -- Yahoo Inc. is
outsourcing the Internet telephone
functions of its instant messaging
program to the startup Jajah.
Jajah will connect the calls to and
from users of Yahoo Messenger and
handle billing and customer care,
the startup said Tuesday. Terms of
the deal where not announced. No
employees are moving over to
Jajah.
The deal is a big score for Jajah,
which has grown explosively since
it was founded in 2005 in Austria. It
is now based in Mountain View,
Calif., and boasts 10 million customers.
Yahoo Messenger has 97 million
users, but the company has not
revealed how many of them use the
premium Phone In and Phone Out
features. While PC-to-PC calls are
free, it charges 1 cent per minute for
calls to U.S. phones, and higher
rates for other countries. It charges
$2.49 a month for a phone number
that allows users to receive calls on
the PC as if it where a phone.
Previously, Yahoo handled the
Internet calling functions itself.
Users will see no change to the
service, said Jajah Chief Executive
Trevor Healy. The Jajah brand may
appear in some places, along with
Yahoo’s.
Sabrina Ellis, vice president of
Yahoo Messenger, said the partnership would help Yahoo “continue to
provide an even greater communication experience” to its users.
Jajah’s main product is a service
that allows users to make cheap
international calls by entering two
phone numbers on the Jajah Web
site -- their own and the number
they want to call. The company calls
both numbers. If the calls are
answered, Jajah connects them to
each other, making it a high-tech
version of the long-distance calling
card.
Privately held Jajah said it hopes
to attract more corporate customers
like Yahoo with a package of managed services for voice calls, and is
talking to phone and cable companies.
The Ukiah Area Chamber of Commerce is
giving local businesses an opportunity to expand
their tourism reach with grants from local TOT - commonly known as “bed tax” -- revenue.
The chamber has $20,000 to give away to
businesses in the greater Ukiah Valley (from
Hopland to Potter Valley, including Redwood
Valley and Calpella) to be used to increase
tourism through adding visitors, promoting the
area, creating or enhancing a festival or event, or
other tourism and attraction developments.
The chamber expects to split the funding
between for-profit and non-profit businesses.
The maximum any one grant application can
get is $5,000.
The deadline for applications is May 15 and
the money will be disbursed on July 1. Your project has to be completed within two years of getting the money. You can use the money for
development of an event, technology or web site
development, marketing for a new attraction, or
building renovation. You cannot use the money
for ongoing operating costs, general upkeep,
improvements or projects with no ties to the
tourism marketplace.
Generally speaking you should be ready to
show that the money will be spent for: increased
visitation, a positive economic impact, promoting our local cultural, natural, historical or other
resources, long-term sustainability, collaborations, projects open to the public, and having
community support.
To get an application, visit the Chamber
office at 200 S. School St. in Ukiah.
CALSTAR 4 in Ukiah is celebrating 10
years in this city this month. CALSTAR, which
stands for California Shock Trauma Air Rescue,
transported its first patient from Ukiah in April
1998 and since then more than 4,000 people
have been flown from accident scenes to trauma
centers and from primary care hospitals to
advanced care facilities. CALSTAR 4 serves
Mendocino, Humboldt, Lake and Sonoma counties where homes in very rural areas could otherwise be too far away for effective emergency
ground service.
Don’t forget they have a great membership
deal. For $55 you can be a member of CALSTAR and if you ever use the service they will
agree to accept whatever your health insurance
pays. (A ride on CALSTAR can cost $10,000 or
more.) For more information, call CALSTAR in
Ukiah at 462-5972.
The Mendocino Environmental Center
elected its 2008 board of directors on
Wednesday, April 23. Three seats (out of seven)
were up for election. Jenny Shakman, Dennis
O’Brien, and Jessica Clark will be directors for
two years. The new MEC board of directors will
hold its April 2008 meeting at the Mendocino
Environmental Center, 106 W. Standley St. on
Wednesday, April 30 at 6 p.m.
The Mendocino Environmental Center works
through educational outreach, nonviolent direct
action and the legal system to uphold and promote environmental and social justice in
Mendocino County and beyond. The MEC is a
resource center which offers support to grassroots community groups and empowers individuals to work for positive change. The MEC networks with a politically and socially diverse
community, encouraging integrity, tolerance,
nonviolence and a sustainable future.

From the desk of ...
A reminder for parents
To the Editor:
I just wanted to remind parents of a few
alarming statistics. One in four girls and
one in six boys will be sexually abused by
the age of 18. Ninety percent of molestation cases involve relatives or
friends/neighbors. Less than 67 percent of
sexual assaults are reported to the authorities. Out of over 500,000 registered sex
offenders in the United States approximately 100,000 live in California. And what
about the abusers that we don’t know
about? California laws are very lenient for
these people and I believe that’s why they
move here. For example, if a 52-year-old
man (who happens to be your neighbor at
the time) puts his hands on your 14-yearold daughter, in places they shouldn’t be,
it’s considered misdemeanor sexual battery, an offense which he cannot be arrested for.
Hmm, a ticket to keep offending I ask?
Nearly 70 percent of child sex offenders
have between one and nine victims and at
least 20 percent have one to ten victims.
Something has got to be done to keep these
offenders from getting their filthy hands on
our children. Believe your child if he or she
tells you something like this has happened.
Support him or her and call the proper
authorities. And unfortunately sexual
predators don’t always look like the big
bad wolf, most of the time they look like
the guy next door.

Thank you
To the Editor:
On April 10 the PTOs of Calpella and
Redwood Valley Elementary Schools held
our first bunko night fundraiser. This
event turned out to be an event that we
will continue for times to come. We would
like to thank all the local businesses that
donated prizes to this event. I believe that
most everyone who played that evening
left with some type of prize. Without the
help of local businesses we couldn’t have
done this and we want to thank each and
every one of you, your donations were
much appreciated.
We would also like to thank the parents,
staff and general public who attended. It
was a great mixture of people and I think
that is also what made it so much fun.
On behalf of the Calpella and Redwood

thank you.

Who cares?
To the Editor:
I was just thinking today about how I
wanted to be more aware of what is going
on in the community that I live in, so I
decided to log on to Ukiahdailyjournal.com
today to see what all is going on in this
beautiful little town we live in. I stumbled
across the article entitled “Local restauranteur has Giant change of heart,” (By the
way, “Restauranteur” was spelled incorrectly, the correct spelling is restaurateur) I
read the article in its entirety, and then
thought to myself, how is this news?
I really think that maybe just maybe we
might have more important issues that need
addressing than the fact that a local business man became a Giants fan?
Oh, maybe something like addressing
the fact that the youth in this community
have no productive activities to take part
in? Or maybe like an article on the poor
housing issue that we have here? Or something about all of the homeless people that
we have in our community? Gas prices
maybe?
Apparently the issues in our community
are less of a priority than that of a local
business man becoming a Giants fan? Now
don’t get me wrong, I’m glad he had a great
time and all, but again, how is this news?

Editor’s note: We’re sorry you didn’t
like the article. It was submitted by a local

lot of people in town know well. We have
lots of “news” in our pages each day
which cover the harder side of life here in
Mendocino County. We thought a little
softer news presented in our sports pages
might pass muster.

As a result, Petraeus said

Particularly troubling was
testimony from the U.S.

Crocker. He said he did not
think that a long-term security agreement currently

legally, it is unclear whether
the United States will live up
to such an agreement under a

On trade pact
process
On Olympic torch
Four strikes and you’re
out.
That’s what a game of
baseball might be like if
Speaker of the House Nancy
Pelosi had her way. If that’s
how she felt at the moment,
that is.
On Monday, President
Bush sent a proposed trade
agreement with Colombia to
Congress, starting the clock
on the legislative process.
When a proposed trade pact
goes up to Capitol Hill,
Congress has 90 legislative
days to take action.
Lawmakers can approve the
pact, or they can vote it
down. They cannot amend
the agreement, and they cannot just debate it to death,
effectively killing it by just
talking about it.
These rules are in place so
that a president can negotiate an agreement with another nation in good faith, with
both sides knowing that the
pact will be voted on as is in
the Congress.
But Pelosi is trying to
change those rules — in the
middle of the game. ...
If she is successful in her
efforts to remove the clock
from the game, a president
trying to negotiate a trade
pact in the future will not be
able to reliably assert that
there are rules — and that
those rules are followed.
By playing politics at this
moment, Pelosi is threatening to derail future trade
agreements. ... We would
hope that she would rethink
We remain unimpressed
by the 85,000-mile journey
of the Olympic torch from
ancient Olympia in Greece
to Beijing.
The longer-than-usual
trek was designed by China,
the host country, to draw
positive attention to its
growing economic and political influence in the world.
Instead, the flame has drawn
negative attention to China’s
human rights record — particularly with concern to
Tibet. The torch has attracted protesters and violence in
almost every major city it’s
passed through so far.
Perhaps it’s time for the
International
Olympics
Committee to end the resurrected tradition and simply
have host countries light the
flame at the games’ site.
The Olympics are intended to showcase the world’s
best athletes in a variety of
sports and to encourage
good relations amongst the
world’s countries. The trouble is, not every country has
good relations with others
when the quadrennial event
comes along. And the games
take on overtones of political impasse.
If all the running of the
Olympic Torch is going to
accomplish is extend the
amount of time people spend
arguing those same political
positions, then we shouldn’t
run anywhere with the
flame. Put it out and wait for
the games to begin. The ritual is not worth preserving.

What to do about oil? First it went from $60 to $80
a barrel, then from $80 to $100 and now to $120.
Perhaps we can persuade OPEC to raise production, as
some senators suggest; but this seems unlikely. The
truth is that we’re almost powerless to influence
today’s prices. We are because we didn’t take sensible
actions 10 or 20 years ago. If we persist, we will be
even worse off in a decade or two. The first thing to
do: Start drilling.
It may surprise Americans to discover that the
United States is the third-largest oil producer, behind
Saudi Arabia and Russia. We could be producing
more, but Congress has put large areas of potential
supply off-limits. These include the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts and parts of Alaska and the Gulf of
Mexico. By government estimates, these areas may
contain 25-30 billion barrels of oil (against about 30
billion of proven U.S. reserves today) and 80 trillion
cubic feet or more of natural gas (compared with about
200 tcf of proven reserves).
What keeps these areas closed are exaggerated
environmental fears, strong prejudice against oil companies and sheer stupidity. Americans favor both
“energy independence” and cheap fuel. They deplore
imports -- who wants to pay foreigners? -- but oppose
more production in the United States. Got it? The
result is a “no-pain energy agenda that sounds appealing but has no basis in reality,” writes Robert Bryce in
“Gusher of Lies: The Dangerous Delusions of ‘Energy
Independence.’”
Unsurprisingly, all three major presidential candidates tout “energy independence.” This reflects either
ignorance (unlikely) or pandering (probable). The
United States now imports about 60 percent of its oil,
up from 42 percent in 1990. We’ll import lots more for
the foreseeable future. The world uses 86 million barrels of oil a day, up from 67 mbd in 1990. The basic
cause of exploding prices is that advancing demand
has virtually exhausted the world’s surplus production
capacity, says analyst Douglas MacIntyre of the
Energy Information Administration. The result: Any
unexpected rise in demand or threat to supply triggers
higher prices.
The best we can do is to try to influence the global
balance of supply and demand. Increase our supply.
Restrain our demand. With luck, this might widen the
worldwide surplus of production capacity. Producers
would have less power to exact ever-higher prices,
because there would be more competition among them
to sell. OPEC loses some leverage; its members cheat.
Congress took a small step last year by increasing fuel
economy standards for new cars and light trucks from
25 to 35 miles per gallon by 2020. (And yes, we need
a gradually rising fuel tax to create a strong market for
more-efficient vehicles.)
Increasing production also is important. Output
from older fields, including Alaska’s North Slope, is
declining. Although production from restricted areas
won’t make the U.S. self-sufficient, it might stabilize
output or even reduce imports. No one knows exactly
what’s in these areas, because the exploratory work is
old. Estimates indicate that production from the Arctic
National Wildlife Refuge might equal almost 5 percent
of present U.S. oil use.
Members of Congress complain loudly about high
oil profits ($40.6 billion for ExxonMobil last year) but
frustrate those companies from using those profits to
explore and produce in the United States. Getting
access to oil elsewhere is increasingly difficult.
Governments own three-quarters or more of proven
reserves. Higher prices perversely discourage other
countries from approving new projects. Flush with oil
revenues, countries have less need to expand production. Undersupply and high prices then feed on each
other.
But it’s hard for the United States to complain that
other countries limit access to their reserves when
we’re doing the same. If higher U.S. production
reduced world prices, other countries might expand
production. What they couldn’t get from prices they’d
try to get from greater sales.
On environmental grounds, the alternatives to more
drilling are usually worse. Subsidies to ethanol made
from corn have increased food prices and used scarce
water, with few benefits. If oil is imported, it’s vulnerable to tanker spills. By contrast, local production is
probably safer. There were 4,000 platforms operating
in the Gulf of Mexico when hurricanes Katrina and
Rita hit. Despite extensive damage, there were no
major spills, says Robbie Diamond of Securing
America’s Future Energy, an advocacy group.
Perhaps oil prices will drop when some longdelayed projects begin production or if demand slackens. But the basic problem will remain. Though dependent on foreign oil, we might conceivably curb the
power of foreign producers. But this is not a task of a
month or a year. It is a task of decades; new production
projects take that long. If we don’t start now, our future
dependence and its dangers will grow. Count on it.

Jepson Winery near Hopland is up

came to town with big plans for massive
lavender fields, high end housing and
new vineyards for small lot high end
wines, is moving on.
Tony Ford of NorCal Vineyards is trying to sell the property and blames the
county’s “non developer friendly” attitude for the failure of his clients to make
a go of the 1,200 Russian River facing
property.
Plus, he says, the housing market crash
and a flat grape economy hasn’t helped.
The property includes the 1,200 acres,
120 of which is vineyards, a 16,000square-foot winery, tasting room, office
and guest home which was founded by
banker Robert Jepson in 1985.

Protecting assets a
complicated process
Q: My father has been
taking care of my mother -who was diagnosed with
Alzheimer's disease -- for
nearly four years at home.
However, the last several
months have proven to be
most difficult for him, and
we are trying to understand
how, if Mom is admitted to a
nursing home, Dad's assets
can be protected. Are there
set formulas dealing with the
amount of income and assets
Dad will be able to keep?
How does this process work?
A: Recognizing that the
cost of nursing-home care
will exhaust the lifetime savings of most elderly couples
very quickly, Congress
enacted
the
Medicare
Catastrophic Coverage Act
of 1988. Applicable in all 50
states and the District of
Columbia, MCCA established what are called
"spousal impoverishment
rules." These are specific
Medicaid-eligibility rules
that apply when one married
spouse needs nursing home
care (or qualifies for certain
community waiver programs) in order to protect the
income and some of the
resources for the non-nursing-home spouse. These special rules apply when the
spouse in the facility is
expected to remain there for
at least 30 days. It is important to remember that while
federal law sets forth certain
guidelines, the applicable
laws and regulations differ
from state to state and are
based upon medical condition, resources and income.
Below are the resources and
income limits, but we will
not touch on the medical
conditions.
RESOURCES: At the
time the Medicaid application is made, the state
agency in charge will conduct an assessment of the
couple's resources which, for
this purpose, are combined.
Next steps
By Jan Warner and Jan Collins
Then certain exemptions are
applied for the residence,
household goods, an automobile, prepaid burial contracts and other noncountable resources. The couple's
combined
countable
resources are then compared
to the "Protected Resource
Amount," which will vary
from state to state and, for
2008, will be between
$20,880 and $104,400,
depending on where you
live.
After subtracting the
state's PRA from the couple's combined countable
resources,
the
amount
remaining will be considered
to be attributable to the nursing-home spouse as countable resources. If this
amount is below the state's
resource standard, the nursing-home individual will be
eligible for Medicaid. Once
resource eligibility is determined, the assets of the community spouse are not attributed to the nursing-home
spouse.

HORSE RACING | KENTUCKY DERBY
Rick Dutrow Jr. living a Kentucky
Derby dream with Big Brown
By RICHARD ROSENBLATT
Associated Press
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — About 10
years ago, trainer Rick Dutrow Jr.’s
address was Barn 1, Tack Room D,
Aqueduct Racetrack, New York.
Park Avenue, it wasn’t.
“I loved it,” he said, a hardy laugh
following. “I was right there in the
barn with my horses. I had my
microwave set up. I was good. Really.
If I lost everything and had to do it
again, I’m there.”
From there to here, Dutrow has
emerged as one of the nation’s top
trainers. He also happens to have the
expected favorite for Saturday’s
Kentucky Derby in unbeaten Big
Brown.
And Dutrow doesn’t think his 3year-old bay colt can lose.
“I feel very confident that if Big
Brown breaks with the field, he’s
going to run a big race,” he said. “I just
haven’t seen any other horse with my
eyes that can beat him.”
The always engaging Dutrow held
center stage for more than 30 minutes
Tuesday morning at the media center
on the backside of Churchill Downs.
While it was chilly outside, Dutrow
was inside warming a crowd of about
75 people with tales of his struggles,
suspensions and social life.
He said the hardest part of his job is
waking up at 4:30 every morning,
“because I like to hang out with my
people, and I can’t be doing that all the
time.”
Of his numerous suspensions, many
for medication violations, Dutrow
said: “Half of them I deserved, half of
’em I didn’t.”
Asked if he ever brought women
back to his digs at Aqueduct, his eyes
brightened, he smiled and then
answered.
“Yeah,” he said. “If I wanted to take
out some girl, she’d say, ‘Where am I
going to meet you?’ I’d say, ‘Meet me

Men’s Basketball

For The Daily Journal
Geren said. “But I just felt like at that
point, every run we could add on would
help our chances of winning and would
determine who I might use in the bullpen.
So I was just sticking with the team concept there.
“We were playing a great baseball
team and we had to do everything we
could to try to win, so individual accomplishments are never really in the mix.”
Geren’s decision certainly had merit.
Of the previous 57 games between the
teams, 37 had been decided by fewer than
three runs — 28 of them by a single run.
Oakland’s lead was 6-2 entering the seventh, when Geren sent Chris Denorfia in
to run for Thomas. By the time the inning
ended, eight more runs were across —
seven charged to Chris Bootcheck.
It was a great way for the A’s to start
the 19-game season series, but Geren didn’t put any extra emphasis on this fourgame set despite the fact that it was

After a disappointing loss
last
Wednesday,
Potter
Valley’s varsity baseball team
wasn’t in the best state of
morale.
The Bearcats fell 10-4 to
Anderson Valley that day to
snap their four-game winning
streak and their emotional
high.
On Tuesday, Potter Valley
(5-9) got that back as they
won for the fourth time in five
games with a 12-7 defeat of
Round Valley.
“The kids were pretty
down after our last loss and
today was as mentally tough
as I’ve seen them,” said Potter
Valley Head Coach Tim
Conrad. “We really bounced
back and I’m extremely proud
of their effort.”
Potter Valley jumped out to
an early lead in the first as
they put two runs across.
They got three more runs
each in the third and fourth
innings to give starting pitcher Wyatt Matthews eight runs
of run support.
Matthews pitched four
innings and allowed three
runs -- all earned -- on just
one hit and two walks, while
striking out four before leaving with a tweaked back.
“He pitched a really good
ball game, he was really dominating,” said Conrad. “He
was pretty much rolling
through them until they got
some men on base.”
Matthew Moore came on
in relief in the fifth inning and
the defense decided to not
show up while he was on the
mound.
“We played some bad
defense behind him...he kinda
had some bad luck,” said
Conrad.
The poor defense led to
four runs -- only one earned
for Moore -- on five hits in his
two innings of work. Round
Valley had cut the Bearcats’
lead to one, the score 8-7.
In the bottom of the sixth,
Potter Valley tacked on four
crucial runs and C.J. Hutchins
pitched a perfect seventh
inning to nail down the win
for the Bearcats.
Centerfielder
Jay
Tiedemann was 3 for 4 with
two doubles and a triple for
five RBI’s and three runs
scored.

Athletics outfielder Emil Borwn slides into third safely in a game earlier this month versus the Mariners. Brown
drove in six runs and had two homers on Monday night to lead the A’s to a rout of the Angels in a game for
first-place in AL West.
ANAHEIM — With all the tight
games the Los Angeles Angels and
Oakland Athletics have played against
each other the past six years while winning three AL West titles apiece, no one
on either club could have expected this
kind of outcome in their first meeting this
season.
Daric Barton, Jack Hannahan and
Emil Brown accounted for six of
Oakland’s runs with homers in a 14-2
rout of Los Angeles on Monday night.
The Athletics entered with only 12 home
runs through their first 26 games.
“Coming in here, the weather was nice
and warm and the ball was carrying pretty good in batting practice,” manager
Bob Geren said after the A’s broke a firstplace tie with the Angels. “So the conditions were such that there might be some
balls flying out of the park. Fortunately, it
was us making the good contact.”
Oakland’s run total was the highest by
a visiting team at Angel Stadium since
Sept. 22, 2004, when Seattle won 16-6.
In other AL games, New York beat
Cleveland 5-2, and Baltimore’s game at
the Chicago White Sox was suspended
because of rain after 11 innings with the
score tied 3-all.

STARS 2 | SHARKS 1
Stars take 3-0 series lead over San Jose
By STEPHEN HAWKINS
Associated Press
DALLAS — Thanks to an unlikely
goal from Mattias Norstrom, the
Dallas Stars are one victory shy of the
Western Conference finals.
Norstrom scored from the top of the
left circle 4:37 into overtime Tuesday
night to give the Stars a 2-1 victory
over the San Jose Sharks and a commanding 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven
series.
Sharks goalie Evgeni Nabokov had
already made several impressive saves
in the overtime, denying Loui
Eriksson twice in the first couple of
minutes. The second shot by Eriksson
came as he tried to knock in the
rebound of Brad Richards’ shot that
the goalie kicked away.
But Nabokov had too many bodies
around him and couldn’t see the shot
by Norstrom, who scored his second
goal in 49 playoff games. He took a
pass from Mike Ribeiro and slapped it
through the traffic and into the net.
The last time the Stars had a 3-0
series lead was in the first round of the
1999 playoffs, when they swept
Edmonton and went on to win the
Stanley Cup. This is their 16th postseason series since then.
Dallas can wrap up the series
Wednesday night at home.
Nabokov stopped 27 shots, including Niklas Hagman’s penalty shot with
9:10 left in regulation when the goalie
slid to his left to deny the backhander.
Hagman got that opportunity after he
was taken down by Christian Ehrhoff
skating toward the net with the puck.
Sergei Zubov, whose turnover led to
San Jose’s short-handed goal in the
first period, made amends in the first
minute of the third when he tied the
game at 1 with his shot from the top of
the right circle.
The Stars began the third period on
a power play, and 35 seconds later had
a two-man advantage when Ehrhoff
was whistled for hooking Brenden
Morrow when the Stars captain was
driving toward the net with the puck.
On the ensuing goal, Morrow was in
front of Nabokov, providing a screen
when Zubov took a pass from Ribeiro.
Sharks captain Patrick Marleau,
already denied a power-play goal
because of an inadvertent whistle,
scored a shorthanded goal with 35 seconds left in the first period.
Zubov, the 15-season veteran and
two-time Stanley Cup winner, played
only his second game since midJanuary after operations to place a
screw in a bone in his right foot and to
repair a sports hernia. He had the primary assist on Mike Modano’s goahead goal in a 5-2 victory in Game 2,
when the Stars scored four goals in the
third period.
But with the Stars on the power
play after Joe Thornton’s cross-checking penalty, Zubov blindly passed
back to an unexpecting Jere Lehtinen.
The puck was instead picked up at
center ice by Marleau, who drove and
shot over Turco’s left shoulder.
Only 4 minutes into the game, and
already on a power play, San Jose
appeared to have an early lead when
Marleau knocked a loose puck past
Turco.
But
referee
Don
VanMassenhoven quickly waved off
the score, indicating that he had
already blown a whistle.
The referee, whose view of the puck
from behind the net was blocked by
Turco, who was completely extended
and on his side, didn’t realize that the
puck still hadn’t been controlled after
Thornton’s shot. Marleau poked it into
the goal, but it didn’t count.

NBA PLAYOFFS | MAGIC
MLB | ROCKIES
Pistons, Celtics still fighting, but Magic advance
Tulowitzki leaves
Colorado’s game with injury
By TRAVIS REED
Associated Press
ORLANDO, Fla.
—
Surprise, NBA. The first team
to advance in the Eastern
Conference playoffs wasn’t
the heavily favored Boston
Celtics or the battle-tested
Detroit Pistons.
It was the Orlando Magic,
who beat the Toronto Raptors
102-92 on Monday to close
the first-round series in five
games. And it was built on the
back of a 22-year-old center
whose improvement seems to
show no bounds.
Dwight Howard had 21
points and 21 rebounds, his
third 20-20 game in five postseason games, and the Magic
advanced to the second round
for the first time in 12 years.
Orlando hadn’t won a playoff series since Shaquille
O’Neal and Penny Hardaway
led the team to the Eastern
Conference finals in 1996.
The Magic played 28 postseason games in the intervening
years, winning only eight.
“To finally get over the
hump and get out of the first
round, it means a lot for us,”
Howard said. “But we’re not
satisfied. Our goal is to win a
championship, so we’re going
to keep playing and try to play
the same way to get that
goal.”
Howard helped limit
Raptors star Chris Bosh to
nine rebounds and 16 points
on 7-of-19 shooting, one
game after the Raptors forward set playoff career highs
of 39 points and 15 rebounds.
“He’s a phenom; he’s the
best center in the league,”
Bosh said of Howard, his
friend from USA Basketball.
“He’s probably the strongest
guy in the league, and he
knows how to use his body. It
doesn’t surprise me at all. I’ve
seen him play this whole
series, I’ve seen him play this
season.”
In other NBA playoff
games on Monday, Atlanta
beat Boston 97-92 and the Los
Angeles Lakers defeated
Denver 107-101.
T.J. Ford and Carlos
Delfino both scored 14 points
for the Raptors, while Jason
Kapono had 13 and Jose
Calderon 12.
“They beat us on the
boards. They’ve got a guy in
the middle who cleans up a lot
of their misses,” Toronto
coach Sam Mitchell said. “It’s
hard to ask much more of our
big guys when they’re battling
this guy the way they did with
his size and strength, quickness
and
athleticism.
Congratulations Orlando; they
played great.”
The Magic will face the
winner of the DetroitPhiladelphia series, which is
tied 2-2, in the Eastern
Conference semifinals.
Keyon Dooling’s free
throw after a technical on
Bosh put the Magic ahead 7366 with just under a minute
left in the third quarter, and
Orlando kept the lead until
midway through the fourth.
Delfino hit a jumper and Bosh
made two free throws in four
trips to the line, plus a hook
shot over Howard, to draw the
Raptors within 84-82.
The Magic, who had the
fourth-best 3-point percentage
in the NBA this season, struggled again from long range (9of-32), but made them when it
counted. Keith Bogans and
Jameer Nelson each hit one
and Howard added a layup as
the Magic answered with an
8-0 run over 3:13 to open a
92-82 lead, then its largest of
the game.
It was enough room to let
them coast.
“We didn’t even have our
best night, and to be able to
win it in five games, I’m really proud of them,” Magic
coach Stan Van Gundy said.
Nelson scored 19 points
and Rashard Lewis had 18
points and 13 rebounds for
Orlando. Hedo Turkoglu just
missed a triple-double with 12
points, eight rebounds and
nine assists, while Maurice
Evans scored 12 points and
Bogans added 11.
While the Pistons-Celtics
series continues, the Magic
will have two days off from
practice.
Howard grinned broadly,
still unable to believe it was
true.
“It’s just an unbelievable
feeling,” he said. “We did
something I feel that hasn’t
been done here in a while.”
PHILLIES 7 | PADRES 4
Hamels, Phillies beat Padres 7-4
Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — Greg
Maddux stomped off the
mound, took his glove off and
nearly slammed it to the
ground. He was agitated a
pitcher got a hit off him.
Cole Hamels frustrated the
San Diego Padres even more
with his arm.
Hamels pitched 7 1-3
impressive innings and the
Philadelphia Phillies beat the
Padres 7-4 Tuesday night,
denying Maddux his 350th
career victory.
“It’s nice because he’s a
guy I grew up with and idolized,” Hamels said. “And to
get a hit off him is pretty special.”
Hamels (3-3) allowed five
hits, two runs and struck out
six. Tom Gordon worked out
of a bases-loaded jam in the
eighth and the Phillies scored
four insurance runs in the bottom half.
Maddux (2-2) gave up
three runs and eight hits in 6
1-3 innings. The four-time Cy
Young award winner was trying for the third start to
become the ninth pitcher in
big league history to reach
350 wins.
Maddux was two outs away
from getting the milestone
victory against San Francisco
last week, but Bengie Molina
hit a tying homer off Trevor
Hoffman in the ninth.
“It
doesn’t
weigh,”
Maddux said. “It’s not a mile-
stone. It really isn’t. Trust me,
I’ve been on extra credit for
five or six years now. I’ve
stopped pitching for results.
I’m just going out there to see
how long I can do it.”
The Phillies broke it open
in the eighth against Glendon
Rusch and Kevin Cameron.
Carlos Ruiz had a two-run
double and pinch-hitter Greg
Dobbs added an RBI double.
Scott Hairston hit a pair of
homers for San Diego.
Hamels was sharp from the
start. Mixing in a changeup
and a crisp fastball, the lefthander retired 11 of the first
12 batters before Adrian
Gonzalez singled to right in
the fourth for San Diego’s first
hit. Gonzalez was thrown out
by Geoff Jenkins trying to
stretch it into a double.
“He mixed his pitches and
was aggressive with his fastball,”
manager
Charlie
Manuel said. “Cole didn’t
make too many mistakes.”
Hairston got the Padres
within 2-1 when he connected
for a solo shot in the fifth. He
hit a two-run shot off Ryan
Madson in the ninth.
Hamels singled to chase
Maddux and help the Phillies
regain a two-run lead in the
seventh.
After Ruiz singled with one
out, Hamels stroked a single
to right to put runners at first
and third. Maddux wasn’t too
pleased, and it didn’t make
him any happier when manager Bud Black came out and
called for Cla Meredith.
“I pitched just good enough
to lose,” Maddux said.
Jayson Werth’s sacrifice fly
scored Ruiz to make it 3-1.
Hamels left after a one-out
walk in the eighth put runners
at first and third. J.C. Romero
entered and walked his only
batter, pinch-hitter Tony
Clark. But Gordon preserved
the lead. Tadahito Iguchi’s
groundout scored a run to cut
it to 3-2. Gordon then retired
Kevin Kouzmanoff on a
grounder to leave runners at
second and third.
“Cole pitched wonderful,”
Gordon said. “It’s great I was
able to help.”
Pedro Feliz’s RBI single in
the eighth drove in Chase
Utley, who doubled. Ruiz and
Dobbs hit consecutive doubles to make it 7-2.
Hamels has pitched at least
seven innings in each of his
six starts. He allowed three
runs in his first three outings,
but nine runs in the last two.
“I joke around about not
getting through the eighth,”
Hamels said. “It’s something I
have to work toward. It’s hard
enough to get to the eighth
and harder to finish it.”
Ryan Howard poked an
RBI single through an
extreme shift in the first and
Eric Bruntlett had an RBI single in the third.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP)
— Colorado Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki left the
game Tuesday night against
San Francisco in the first
inning with an injury.
Tulowitzki, a late lineup
addition after Jeff Baker was
scratched due to a broken
blood vessel that happened
during pregame warmups, left
after bending over to try to
stop Aaron Rowand’s single.
Tulowitzki grimaced and
grabbed his left hip and lower
back area. He then walked
gingerly off the field.
The Rockies’ athletic trainer first checked on Tulowitzki
after he threw to first base on
Eugenio Velez’s grounder that
was dropped for an error,
three batters earlier.
Manager Clint Hurdle had
to get creative to have a
healthy infield.
Clint Barmes moved from
second to shortstop. Garrett
Atkins moved from third to
make his major league debut
at second base, while Chris
Iannetta entered the game to
play third for the first time in
his big league career.
Iannetta then hit a solo
home run leading off the second to tie the game at 2.
Tulowitzki finished second
in the National League
Rookie of the Year voting last
season, hitting .291 with 24
homers and 99 RBIs. He was
off to a very slow start, batting
.152 with one homer in the his
first 25 games.
Derby
trainer with a lot of ability but
didn’t have a barnful of quality. We knew Rick could handle the quality horses. It’s
worked our great.”
Dutrow faced early hoof
problems with Big Brown
before getting him ready to
run, but is now set for the race
of his life.
“Watching the Derby when
I was young, I want to get
there,” he said, “I’ve had really good horses that if they
were good Derby time, we
would have been there. Yeah,
this is a whole different thing.
This is like a dream come
true. I can’t wait to get the
game on We’ve had enough
training. We’re ready.”
Dutrow still plans a final
three-furlong
workout
Thursday, primarily because
he doesn’t want to change the
Big Brown’s schedule.
“I’m training him for a
horse race,” Dutrow said. “It
doesn’t make me feel anything different just because
he’s training for the Kentucky
Derby, even though it’s the
biggest race in the world.
That’s the only way that I’m
looking at it.”
Kent
Desormeaux,
a
Marylander like Dutrow, will
be aboard Big Brown.
Desormeaux is well aware of
the Dutrow name but didn’t
really get to know Rick until
he climbed aboard Big
Brown.
“All I know is the man has
got Big Brown and he’s got to
be really, really thrilled,”
Desormeaux said. “We’re the
two happiest guys on the racetrack planet right now.”
Dutrow sure sounded that
way Tuesday.

at the barn.’
“Actually,” he continued,
“I never should leave the barn
because when I leave the barn
that’s when trouble starts.
When I’m in the barn, I’m just
there with my horses and it’s
good.”
It’s been all good for
Dutrow lately.
The son of the late
Maryland horseman Dick
Dutrow came to New York
and started with no horses and
living in a tack room, usually
used as a backstretch storage
area. Since then he’s moved
way up in class, and has a
public stable of more than 100
horses. In 2005, he won two
Breeders’ Cup races, the
Classic with Horse of the Year
Saint Liam and the BC Sprint
with Silver Train. Last year,
Kip Deville won the BC Mile.
This year has been sensational. Big Brown was sent to
his barn after IEAH Stable
bought a 75 percent share of
the bay colt for a reported $3
million. On the same day Big
Brown won the Florida Derby
at Gulfstream Park in
Hallandale, Fla., on March 29,
Dutrow won two rich races in
Dubai with Benny the Bull
and Diamond Stripes.
When IEAH was looking
to bring in a trainer when they
began upgrading their stable a
few years ago, they turned to
Dutrow.
“We knew there were some
issues, we checked it out and
decided to go with him,”
IEAH co-president Michael
Iavarone said. “We wanted a

“We didn’t even have a talk
about it at all, honestly,”
Geren said. “Whenever you
play a team for the first time,
there’s a lot of work to be
done and a lot of meetings. I
mean, we know it’s the
Angels and they’re the team
to beat and most people obviously picked them as the team
to beat. So you’d like to have
a good performance against a
good team like that, but nothing more than that.”
Chad Gaudin (3-1) breezed
to his third straight victory,
allowing two runs — one
earned — and five hits over
six innings with four strikeouts.
“We got some clutch hits
and played good baseball,”
Gaudin said. “We’re just
playing the game the right
way, and it’s succeeding.
We’re expecting to go out
there and win.”
Garland (3-3) allowed
seven runs, 10 hits and three
walks in six-plus innings,
striking out five. The righthander is 0-5 in his last seven
starts against Oakland, and 39 with a 5.01 ERA in 14
career starts against the A’s.
“I was getting behind and
they were hitting the ball.
That’s all I can say,” Garland
said. “I felt I had pretty good
pitches. The ball was put in
play and it rolled their way.”
The Athletics grabbed a 41 lead in the third with
Barton’s first homer of the
season, a drive into the first
row above the 18-foot fence
in right field.
Garland then walked
Thomas and got a visit from
pitching coach Mike Butcher,
who was ejected by plate
umpire Charlie Relaford over
something he said to him on
the way back to the dugout.
It was Relaford’s first
game back from vacation,
which he had to cut short due
to the frightening injury that
crew member Kerwin Danley
sustained to his jaw at Dodger
Stadium on Saturday. Danley
was struck on the mask by a
96 mph pitch from the
Dodgers’ Brad Penny, which
batterymate Russell Martin
wasn’t quick enough to catch
because he was expecting a
curveball.
Relaford was shaken up
briefly by a foul tip into his
mask by Bobby Crosby in the
seventh — but stayed in the
game.

McMillen, Walker finish 1st and 3rd
respectively in NBL Tournament
For The Daily Journal
Ukiah sent their top four
golfers on Monday to take
part in the North Bay League
(NBL)
Tournament
in
Windsor. After finishing second place in the NBL, the
Wildcats received an automatic invite to North Coast
Sections qualifier on May 5th,
so Ukiah simply sent their
four top scorers to the NBL
Tournament to compete for
three league medals.
The tournament turned out
to be a very successful afternoon of golf for Ukiah as J.J.
McMillen took home first
place and a gold medal with
his 1-under round of 71. In
addition, teammate Brett
Walker placed third with a 4over round of 76. Cardinal
Newman’s Chris Gregus took
home the silver medal with his
1-over round of 73.
Also, at the tournament’s
conclusion, the “All League”
team was announced for the
top 12 individual scoring
averages. Four Wildcats were
named to the “All League”
team and the individuals
were: J.J. McMillen, Max
Brazill, Brett Walker and
Carson Sheppard.
“This was a great showing
for our boys and a nice tuneup
for next week at Rooster run,”
said Ukiah Head Coach Chris
Philbrick. “J.J. is 2-under par
in his last three rounds which
bodes well for postseason
play.”
Max Brazill shot a 6-over
round of 78 in the tournament
and Carson Sheppard finished
with a round of 38, but Logan
Morris (39), Scott Cokeley
(40) and Michael Villa (41)
were not far behind.
Gunnar Annis carded a 45
while Mason Colombo shot a
round of 47 and Troy Miles a
49 to round out the scoring for
the Wildcats.
“It’s always nice to finish
the season shooting our best
nine-hole score ever, beating
our previous record by four
shots,” said Ukiah JV Head

with a round of 83. The
Wildcats tee it up next at
Rooster Run in Petaluma for
the NCS Qualifier next
Monday at 8 a.m.
JV Golf Update
The Wildcats traveled to
Adams Springs GC on
Monday for a tournament
with
Coastal
Mountain
Conference (CMC) JV teams
on the par 34 golf course.
At the end of the day,
Ukiah finished with a 203
overall score, good enough for
first place. St. Vincent’s shot
246 and Kelseyville finished a
distant third with a 323.
Luke Lucchesi led Ukiah
Coach Paul Moore. “Luke,
Logan and Scott had their personal best rounds of the year.”
SULL’s Angels win back-to-back games
over the weekend
In a South Ukiah Little
League contest on Friday, the
Angels defeated the Giants in
the majors division 19-6
behind the play of Jeff Piver
and Corey James.
Corey received his first
start of the season and pitched
quite well. He went three
innings and allowed just two
runs. Kyle Tellstrom then
came on in relief, also making
his first pitching appearance
of the season, and pitched
three solid innings where he
gave up the Giants last four
runs.
It was the Angels performance at the plate, however,
that won them the game. Jeff
went 4 for 5, a triple short of
the cycle as he had a single,
two doubles and a home run
for four RBI’s and four runs
scored. He also walked once.
Corey was also 4 for 5 with
three singles and a triple for
five runs scored and four
RBI’s.
Demitri Curley-Holman
was 1 for 2 with three walks,
three RBI’s and two runs
scored. Dylan Steckter also
had a good game, going 2 for
5 at the plate with a triple, an
RBI and three runs scored.
On Saturday, the Angels
continued their winning ways
as they were victorious in a 2-
Chargers sign
Shelton to 2-year
deal to shore up
O-line
SAN DIEGO (AP) —
Unable to land a tackle early
in last weekend’s draft, the
San Diego Chargers signed
veteran L.J. Shelton to a twoyear deal Tuesday.
Shelton, entering his 10th
NFL season, was released by
the Miami Dolphins in
February. He’s started 125 of
130 games during his career.
He started all 16 games at
right tackle last year. In 2006
with the Dolphins, he started
five games at left tackle
before moving to right guard
for the final 11 games.
“We had the opportunity to
add an experienced, good
player to the mix at offensive
tackle,” general manager A.J.
Smith said in a statement.
“L.J. has played both left and
right tackle during his career.
We were thin at the position
and we were determined to
find a talented player. We
believe we’ve addressed the
need with L.J. Shelton.”
Shelton has also played for
Cleveland and Arizona.
1 pitching duel with North
Ukiah Little League’s Valley
Paving.
Dylan started on the mound
for the Angels and turned in a
fabulous pitching performance, going four innings and
allowing just one run and
striking out seven. Jeff then
came on in relief with two
spectacular innings of work.

A troubling situation for
which you feel responsible
could take a substantial turn
for the better in the year
ahead. All your hard work and
effort will begin to pay off,
and you will overcome the old
obstacles that held you back.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20) -- The secret to your popularity is to treat life as if it is
a game. With your happy-golucky attitude, you can draw
people to you who would otherwise leave their companionship to chance.
GEMINI (May 21-June
20) -- The bluebird of happiness can be found right in
your backyard, so don’t try
looking for it in anybody
else’s domain. Embrace your
inner goodness, and people
will be drawn your way.
CANCER (June 21-July
22) -- To your credit, you
always seem to know the right
things to say to people, and
today will be no exception.
The only difference is that
you’ll draw more friends to
you who need reassurance.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Conditions in general are
quite favorable, especially
when it comes to acquiring
things for you or your family.
Nothing needs to be handed to
you, because you know how
to work for what you get.

TODAY’S SPORTS: In 1993, a deranged

TODAY’S QUOTE: “Arbitrary power is
your popularity and happiness. Most people need smiles
more than they need food to
nourish their souls.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
-- An ally knows how to gladden your heart without asking
anything in return. This person’s simple act will encourage you to act in kind with all
those you encounter.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
22) -- You can at times be
luckier than most people but
not necessarily in materialistic
categories. Your good fortune
comes in ways, or with things,
that can’t rust or be stolen.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23Dec. 21) -- You’re in an
exceptionally good cycle
where big achievements can
most easily established on the ruins of liberty
abused to licentiousness.” -- George

things that can make a difference.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19) -- Because you won’t

than usual in competition.
Objectivity

changes that pop up. But
because you’re ready, you’ll
make sure that it proves to be
to your advantage.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March
20) -- Your delightful charm
and ready sense of humor are
two of your better assets that
you always put to good use.
Today, they might be responsible for all the benefits that
come your way.
ARIES (March 21-April
19) -- The opportunity to
accumulate extra funds in
order to acquire something out
of the ordinary looks as if it
will be there for you when you
want it. It won’t just happen;
you will earn it.

House rules are making younger sister feel unwelcome
ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: My sister, “Ruth,” is 10 years
younger than me. She thinks I am the spoiled
one and I am convinced she is.
Ruth lives in another state and has not visited my home in years. She telephoned about
coming for Christmas, and my husband and I
were thrilled and excited. However, he advised
that she be told (in a nice way) about our various allergies, and that we tell her over the
phone rather than when she arrived at our front
door. I led into this by saying I didn’t want to
make her angry but felt it best to tell her
upfront that we don’t allow animals or smoking in our home, plus we don’t curse. (Last
time I saw her, she brought her dog.)
She seemed fine with it, but just before her
scheduled arrival, she called to say she felt
preached at and decided not to come after all.
We had words. I was ugly and hung up. I felt
bad and called her back the next morning and
apologized.
A decade is a big age gap. I was married and
out of the house when she was only 8. It’s been
By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
44 years since we lived in the same town. We
communicate mainly through our mother. We
don’t write each other and phone only once in
a great while. I haven’t heard from her since I
called to apologize. Was I wrong to make those
requests? -- Completely Confused in
Mississippi
Dear Confused: Not wrong, but not terribly
sensitive. After not seeing your sister in years,
it was probably too much to give her a list of
do’s and don’ts. It’s OK to say in advance that
you cannot accommodate her dog because you
have allergies, but it’s presumptuous to assume
your guest is going to annoy you in other ways.
This was a tenuous invitation to begin with,
and your suggestions made it more likely your

sister would feel unwelcome. We think it’s
worth inviting her again, but this time, perhaps
she could stay at a hotel and you could meet for
dinner and the theater.
Dear Annie: The other day, my 6-year-old
grandson proudly showed me his wallet, which
contained 10 plastic gift cards that he had
received for his birthday.
I know it is hard to buy gifts for children,
but why must we teach them to live with plastic so early? Do they know how many quarters,
dimes and nickels are in a dollar? Do they
know how much change they should get back?
When you use a gift card, the cashier does the
math for you.
I was told, “Oh, Gram, get with it. We might
not have currency in 10 years.” Is this why the
average American is in credit card debt? -- Not
With It in Arizona
Dear Arizona: Owning a credit card doesn’t
cause debt. Children understand that gift cards
have limits. And it is indeed possible that actual currency will no longer be in use down the
road. But you are right that children should be
taught how to make change and what constitutes a dollar -- and this is usually covered in
math class. Children also can learn about saving and spending money if they have a regular
allowance. We think you are in a great position
to give your grandchildren lessons in the value
of a dollar. Go Gram.
Dear Annie: “Perplexed in the Midwest”
asked about getting a cubic zirconia engagement ring instead of a diamond. I believe he
should get an engagement ring with the birthstone of their child, since they are all in this
together. He can promise her a diamond when
they become more established and can afford
it. Hopefully, the birthstone will be less expensive. It sounds sappy, but I believe she will
enjoy this ring more than a diamond. -Hopeless Romantic in Florida
Dear Florida: Some birthstones are no less
expensive than small diamonds, but we think
it’s a lovely suggestion.

Nishiyama said the four
men appeared to be selling
methamphetamine in onetenth of a gram bags, which
sell for about $40 each. He
said it is unusual to find people selling $40 doses of
methamphetamine in possession of such a large amount of
the drug as they normally only
have an ounce.
“Usually we don’t find that
much dope where they’re selling gram bags,” he said.
“Guys selling $40 bags of
dope are at the bottom of the
food chain,” Nishiyama said.
Nishiyama said he didn’t
know why the suspects had
such a large amount of
methamphetamine but said it
was possible the Task Force

“This is our first time

Maloney. “It’s been really

Bush says lawmakers aren’t moving
aggressively on economic woes
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Bush, hoping to inoculate
his party and his presidential legacy from election-year anger over
the economy, heaped criticism on the Democratic-led Congress on
Tuesday for “letting the American people down.” He said he’d
consider a summer suspension of federal gasoline taxes. But he
offered no new ideas for a range of economic worries now facing
the country, from record gas prices and soaring food costs to rising
inflation, layoffs and home foreclosures, and a credit crunch that
even has sparked fears of a college student loan squeeze. He rejected a new economic stimulus package, saying the tax rebate checks
that began going out this week from a $168 billion economic aid
plan adopted in February must first be given time to work.
