Raff: ‘I drove out here and shot her’
Jury speedily convicts him of
1st-degree murder at law office
By BEN BROWN
The Daily Journal
Raff
“The truth is, I drove out here
and shot her.”
Those were the last words of
testimony Howard Raff spoke on
cross-examination Wednesday.
Before the day ended, a jury
of his peers found Raff guilty of
first-degree murder in the shooting death of Ukiah resident
Virginia Larkin.
Outside the courtroom, members of Larkin’s family were
pleased with the outcome of the
trial, but said a guilty verdict was
not a cure-all.
“It isn’t bringing my mom
back,” said Elena Stanisloo.
Wednesday saw the opening
of defense arguments in Raff’s
case. Raff was the only witness
to testify in his defense. As per
an agreement with the court,
Raff’s testimony was a narrative.
It was similar to what jurors
heard Monday on the taped
interview between Raff and
Ukiah
Police
Department
Detective Glenn Stark.
“They say this is about murder; I say it’s about constitutional, civil and a father’s rights,” he
said Wednesday.
Raff testified he was hounded
for child support payments by
Larkin and her employer, Ukiah
attorney Hugh Preston, and that
attempts to get a fair hearing in
Mendocino County were not
successful.
Raff owed more than $85,000

in back child support, according
to reports from Mendocino
County
Child
Protective
Services.
The child support debts followed Raff to Las Vegas, where
he was called before a judge for
back child-support payments.
Raff testified that, when he
demanded a hearing, the judge
told him he needed to return to

A “meow” and “woof” from Precious

shared with the Mendocino County Board

Animal-speak for “thank you,” the message passed along by interim Health and

Mahoney at a meeting on the coast marked
the completion of needed improvements to
the crowded facility made possible by an
allocation of $100,000 from the board last
year.
The money was used to build a 544square-foot addition to the shelter at 19701

“The $100,000 was well spent,” Animal
Care and Control Director Bliss Fisher said.
“We have a new cat room, a laundry facility (with) a much needed washer and dryer
installed, and we have an isolation room
where we can separate sick animals from
the general population.”
Fort Bragg Shelter staff report that
the shelter’s cats, including these 6week-old kittens, have been healthier since the move.
The cat room, equipped with large cages,
multiple windows and a play structure, is a
far cry from the approximate 30 small
cages that lined the interior of the trailer
now used only for storage, said Dan
Woodward, animal facility attendant.
“They’re a lot more content in here.
There’s a big difference in the way they
act,” he said of the cats, that have also been
healthier since leaving the trailer with little
ventilation.
Improvements also include a large, outdoor fenced area for the dogs, added storSee SHELTER, Page 15
A 42-year-old Ukiah man was arrested on
suspicion of burglary after he was found in
Grace Hudson School early Wednesday
morning.
At around 5:29 a.m., Mendocino County
Sheriff’s Deputy Mike Mcbride and
Sheriff’s Sgt. Scott Poma responded to the
Alex Rorabaugh Center at 251 Jefferson
Lane on reports of vandalism.
When Poma and Mcbride arrived, they
saw several broken windows and other damage to the building.
The officers checked the nearby Grace
Hudson School and found signs of forced
entry into the school office, according to
sheriff’s reports.
Inside the office, several items of value
had been stacked, which indicated to the
officers that the suspect was preparing to
steal them, according to sheriff’s reports.
Further investigation revealed Robert
Kipp Warner hiding in a room in the building. Warner was in possession of the master
keys to the school, and they believe he took
them from the office, according to sheriff’s
reports.
Warner was arrested on suspicion of robbery and vandalism and booked into the
Mendocino County jail on a $15,000 bond.

Shiite holy site’s minarets fall
to suspected al-Qaida bombers
BAGHDAD (AP) — Suspected al-Qaida bombers toppled
the towering minarets of Samarra’s revered Shiite shrine on
Wednesday, dealing a bold blow to Iraqi hopes for peace and
reopening old wounds a year after the mosque’s Golden Dome
was destroyed.
The attack stoked fears of a surge in violence between
Muslim sects. Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s government
rushed to contain Shiite wrath against Sunnis: It clamped a curfew on Baghdad and asked for U.S. troop reinforcements in
Samarra, 60 miles north of here, and for a heightened American
military alert in the capital.
But sketchy reports of sectarian strife began to come in.
Police told of at least four Sunni mosques in Baghdad and south
of the capital attacked by arsonists and bombers, and of a smaller Shiite shrine bombed north of here.
The Samarra attack also threatened to deepen Iraq’s political
crisis, as the 30-member bloc of radical Shiite cleric Muqtada
al-Sadr immediately suspended its participation in parliament
in protest. The Golden Dome bombing in February 2006, at one
of Iraqi Shiism’s holiest sites, was also blamed on Sunni militants linked to al-Qaida. That attack unleashed a bloodbath of
reprisals — of Shiite death-squad murders of Sunnis, and Sunni
bombing attacks on Shiites. At least 34,000 civilians died in last
year’s violence, the United Nations reported.
House passes bill to strengthen
background check system for guns
WASHINGTON (AP) — The House voted Wednesday to fix
flaws in the national gun background check system that allowed
the Virginia Tech shooter to buy guns despite his mental health
problems.
The legislation, passed by voice vote, was endorsed by the
National Rifle Association, boosting its chances of becoming
the first major gun control law in more than a decade.
“As the Virginia Tech shooting reminded us, there is an
urgent national need to improve the background check system”
to keep guns out of the hands of those barred from buying them,
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said.
The measure would require states to automate their lists of
convicted criminals and the mentally ill who are prohibited
under a 1968 law from buying firearms, and report those lists to
the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System,
or NICS. Seung-Hui Cho, who in April killed 32 students and
faculty at Virginia Tech before taking his own life, had been
ordered to undergo outpatient mental health treatment and
should have been barred from buying the two guns he used in
the rampage. But the state of Virginia never forwarded this
information to the national background check system.
could set a precedent for testimony by another adviser not yet
on the subpoena list: presidential counselor Karl Rove.
The Democratic chairmen of House and Senate committees
implicitly threatened a constitutional showdown if the White
House does not comply with the subpoenas — or strike a deal.
“The bread crumbs in this investigation have always led to
1600 Pennsylvania,” said House Judiciary Committee
Chairman John Conyers, D-Mich. “This investigation will not
end until the White House complies with the demands of this
subpoena in a timely and reasonable manner so that we may get
to the bottom of this.”
“The White House cannot have it both ways — it cannot
stonewall congressional investigations by refusing to provide
documents and witnesses while claiming nothing improper
occurred,” added Senate Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt.
General: Iraqi forces improving but are
still far from reaching full capability
WASHINGTON (AP) — Most Iraqi military units arriving
in Baghdad for an American-led security crackdown have only
75 percent of their assigned soldiers, a senior Army general said
Wednesday.
About one in six Iraqi policemen trained by U.S. forces has
been killed or wounded, has deserted or has just disappeared.
The slow development of Iraqi security forces — and continued sectarian violence — raise doubts about when Iraq will
be able to stand on its own and what the consequences of an
early U.S. troop withdrawal would be.
In an assessment he termed cautiously optimistic, Maj. Gen.
Martin Dempsey told a Pentagon news conference that Iraqi
security forces are gradually improving in skill and commitment. However, he said, they must be expanded again next year
to fill gaps in units in Baghdad.
His remarks were largely in line with a report submitted to
Congress on Wednesday in which the Pentagon said it was too
early to judge how the Baghdad security plan was working. It
said Iraqi forces are generally performing up to expectations,
but there are troubling indications that Prime Minister Nouri alMaliki is not living up fully to his promise not to allow political interference in execution of the security crackdown.

Verizon hit with lawsuit
over its late-charge fees
Associated Press
NOVATO — Verizon
Wireless is facing a lawsuit
alleging that its late-charge
fees are excessive and violate
a California law forbidding
companies from collecting
more than it costs them to
process the late fees.
The lawsuit was filed in
Alameda County Superior
Court by Cathy Gellis, a
Marin County customer of the
cellular service provider who
is contesting the $5 late fee
she was forced to pay on her
$131 bill because her payment
was nine days late. Her lawsuit seeks class-action status.
Gellis claims the computergenerated fee was added to
her bill at no cost to Verizon,
thus exceeding the limit
allowed under state law. One
of her lawyers, Peter
Fredman, said under state law
consumers in California cannot be charged more than a
reasonable sum roughly equal
to the actual costs of processing those late fees. Credit card
companies are exempt.
“We believe that these late
fees are wildly inflated relative to that standard, with the
intent and effect of having the
fees operate as a profit center,
charging California users millions in extra penalties in
order to pad Verizon Wireless’
bottom line,” Fredman said.
Verizon’s standard customer contract allows for a
late charge of 18 percent
annually or a $5 flat fee,
whichever is greater.
Verizon
spokeswoman
Heidi Flato declined to comment, citing the pending litigation.
The lawsuit is asking for
unspecified damages and an
order that Verizon return
excess fees from the past four
years.

Pianist/vocalist/songwriter
Marcia Ball, touring in support of her first-ever live CD,
the
Grammy-nominated
“Live! Down the Road,” will
perform in Laytonville. Ball
won two 2004 Blues Music
Awards for “Contemporary
Blues Album of the Year” for
the Grammy-nominated CD,
“So Many Rivers,” as well as

her a loud and loyal fan base
all over the world.
Ball will be performing
during the Kate Wolf
Memorial Music Festival, on
the Music Meadow Main
Stage at Black Oak Ranch,
Highway 101 in Laytonville
starting at 9:45 p.m. on June
29.
For more than 30 years,

She has earned a huge and
intensely loyal following
through critically acclaimed

one of her stellar live performances was to see her in person. But now that all changes,
as Ball rewards her fans with
her first-ever full-length live
album, Live! Down the Road,
a blistering set recorded at the
Sierra Nevada Brewing
Company in 2004. The CD
mixes songs from throughout
her career, including longtime
fan favorites like La Ti Da and
Crawfishin’ as well as newer
material like Louella. Ball
gives each song the workout
of a lifetime, reinventing and
reinvigorating every track
with the immediacy and fire
only a live show can deliver.
Born in Orange, Texas in
1949 to a family whose
female members all played
piano, Ball grew up in the
small town of Vinton, La.,
right across the border from
Texas. She began taking piano
lessons at age five, playing
old Tin Pan Alley tunes from
her grandmother’s collection.
From her aunt, Marcia heard
more modern and popular
music. But it wasn’t until she
was 13 that Marcia discovered
the blues, as she sat amazed
while Irma Thomas delivered
the most soulful and spirited
performance
the
young
teenager had ever seen.
According to Ball, “She just
blew me away; she caught me
totally unaware. Once I started my own band, the first stuff
I was doing was Irma’s.” In
1966, she attended Louisiana
State University, where she
played some of her very first
gigs with a blues-based rock
band called Gum.
In 1970 Ball set out for San
Francisco. Her car broke
down in Austin, Texas, and
while waiting for repairs, she
fell in love with the city and

during the Kate Wolf Memorial Festival on June 29 at Black Oak Ranch.
decided to stay. It wasn’t long
before Ball was performing in
the city’s clubs with a progressive country band called Freda
and the Firedogs, while beginning to hone her songwriting
skills. It was around this time
that Ball delved deeply into
the music of the great New
Orleans piano players, especially Professor Longhair.
“Once I found out about
Professor Longhair,” recalls
Ball, “I knew I had found my
direction.”
When the band broke up in
1974, Ball launched her solo
career, signing to Capitol
Records and debuting with the
country album Circuit Queen
in 1978. She released six critically acclaimed albums on
the Rounder label during the
1980s and 1990s. In 1990,
Ball -- collaborating with
Angela Strehli and Lou Ann
Barton -- recorded the hugely
successful Dreams Come True
on the Antone’s label. At the
end of 1997, Marcia finished
work on a similar “three divas
of the blues” project for
Rounder, this time in the distinguished company of Tracy
Nelson and Ball’s longtime
inspiration, Irma Thomas. The
album, Sing It!, was released
in January, 1998 and was
nominated for both a Grammy
and a Blues Music Award as
“Best Contemporary Blues
Album.” Ball also received
the 1998 Blues Music Award
for “Contemporary Female
Vocalist Of The Year” and for
“Best Blues InstrumentalistKeyboards.” In 1999, Marcia
and her band appeared in the
nationally televised Public
Television
special
In
Performance At The White
House along with B.B. King
and Della Reese. Her albums
and performances received
glowing reviews in major
music publications, and
Marcia was featured on leading radio and television programs, including Austin City
Limits and National Public
Radio’s Fresh Air and Piano
Jazz.
Since the release of her
Alligator debut “Presumed
Innocent,” Ball has received
more popular and critical
acclaim than ever before. “So
Many Rivers,” her 2003 follow-up, continued the trend.
Billboard declared, “Ball is a
consummate pro – a killer
pianist, a great singer and
songwriter.
Powerful.
Righteous. ‘So Many Rivers’
is the best album Ball has ever
tracked.”
Feature stories ran in magazines across the country,
including
USA
Today,
Keyboard,
DownBeat,
Billboard, U.S. News &
World Report and in newpapers from coast to coast. Ball
performed on National Public
Radio’s A Prairie Home
Companion, World Cafe and
Whad’Ya Know?, Public
Radio International’s Studio
360, the nationally syndicated
Mitch Albom Show, and the
PBS-televised version of
Mountain Stage. Ball was featured on CNN in 2002, and in
February, 2003, she joined her
friends
The
Hackberry
Ramblers on NBC television’s
Today Show. She was featured
on the cover of The Austin
Chronicle as well as Blues
Revue magazine and even
appeared in Piano Blues, the
film directed by Clint
Eastwood included in Martin
Scorsese’s The Blues series
which aired on PBS television
nationwide.
Now, with “Live! Down the
Road” and a long list of high
profile tour dates, Marcia Ball
is poised for even more
acclaim.
Blues
Revue
declares, “Marcia Ball has an
uncanny ability to synthesize
all the sounds of the TexasLouisiana border and deliver
them with an honesty that
makes it all seem natural and
logical. She has this amazing
power to light up a room.”
With “Live! Down the Road,”
Ball’s singing, songwriting
and piano playing, along with
her foot-stomping, road-tested
band, will move souls and feet
together, creating a romping,
stomping roadhouse full of
heartfelt passion and fervent
music for anyone within
earshot.

Images from past become father’s legacy to his son
A reader from Willits sent
me this e-mail a few months
ago regarding photo restoration and digitizing images:
Hi -- I read your interesting
article concerning digitizing
old photos to preserve them. I
have several hundred old
black and white negatives
(2x3) that were taken by my
father and grandfather. Some
of these are over 100 years
old, but most date from the
early 1930s. Many appear to
be quite striking shots, some
are historical, though mostly
of SoCal.
There are written notations
of the place and subject matter
of each. Your article doesn’t
address how to deal with negatives.
Other folks I’ve spoken
with haven’t been able to suggest a feasible method of
being able to turn these into
positive images for viewing;
Frame by Frame
By Suzette Cook-Mankins
the right scanning equipment
seems expensive and I guess
the bright light alone is damaging. So far, these negatives
don’t appear to have degraded
much, even though they are
not “properly” stored in
always cool conditions nor in
acid-free envelopes. They are
neatly stored in file cabinets.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Gary Owen
I decided to meet with Mr.
Owen and check out the negatives he inherited. In the Photo
Lab at Ukiah High School we
sat one morning, me rifling
through his wooden box of
filed negatives holding each
one up to the light to assess
their quality, and him thanking me for taking the time to
help in the effort to see these
images in positive form.
My theory was that we
could scan the negatives on a
flatbed scanner with white
paper in the background.
Next, we open the file in
Adobe Photoshop, drop out
the color and then invert the
image from a negative which
should create a positive form
of the image. So that’s what
we did.
I scanned an image of what
looked like a young man in a
field, then applied the inverse
and, sure enough, the image of
a gentleman in his early twenties sitting in patch of cacti
appeared. I asked Owen if he
recognized the person in the
photo and he said he did.
“That’s my father,” he said as
he leaned in closer to the
screen to scrutinize the image.
This was Owen’s first glimpse
of particular frame of his dad.
I felt like I also was meeting
this young version of
Winthrop Owen. He was
dressed in a suit wearing wire
rimmed glasses and a bow tie.
He appeared to be too wise to
be sitting in a patch of cacti.
With a little more research I
began to understand why he
chose the setting.

to his father, Winthrop Owen:

Sweet land of liberty
Light bulb bill
has hidden dangers
To the Editor:
I have just been informed that our
California State Legislators have decided to
pass two bills (AS 722 & AS 1109) that
would outlaw incandescent light bulbs to
save electricity. Saving electricity is a
worthwhile cause, no doubt about that!
However, to replace all of those incandescent light bulbs we are now supposed to
use fluorescent light bulbs. These bulbs
have so much mercury in them that they
are considered a hazardous waste and thus
much care must be taken not to break and
dispose of them. Mercury is very toxic and
easily spreads leading to contamination
problems.
A number of years ago fluorescent lights
were the rage and placed in many work
places. After a time workers began to suffer
from headaches, eye strain, and other disabilities. There was so much absenteeism
that many fluorescents were discarded at
great expense.
It is time to learn much more about this
mercury hazard before the legislature votes
to outlaw incandescent light bulbs.
Voice your concerns now before it is too
late.

Lake bottom may
be closer than you think
To the Editor:
Your article “Low lake level safety concern for area boaters” was right on target.
Our family has been boating at Lake
Mendocino for 17 years or more. On Thurs.
May 31 we were tubing north towards
“Boaters Island” in water that was around
30 feet deep. Being familiar with the sandbar that is just off the west edge of the
boaters camp island, we kept our distance
from the area which is marked by a line of
hazard buoys. Suddenly we hit bottom and
the boat came to a stop! How could that
happen? Beware, the buoys aren’t placed at
the proper location. They should have
placed at least one or two more hazard
markers farther out into the lake. My husband, who was driving, is very experienced, and we were both paying close
attention to the hazard. Had there been
even one more marker, we would not now
be looking at a repair to our outdrive of
around $1,000. We have walked the bottom
of the lake in a drought year (fall of 2003),
and can testify that the bottom of Lake
Mendocino is very unpredictable, as stated
in your news article, and, as predicted, our
lake will most likely end up as it did that
year. So enjoy while you can, but be careful!

Oil company greed
creating barbarism
To the Editor:
With the advent of greater corporate
influence on all things public in the USA
the greed of oil companies has become
more apparent than ever. They have always
been in it for the money, but lately, the
money in the oil baron cash register is of
greater importance than human culture and
human dignity. The net effect is that the
corporate effect is returning us to a state of
undisciplined barbarism. More and more
people don’t care for being civilized anymore. People take what they can get their
hands on, like the oil companies do.
Remember the days of riots when it was

Bush against the
wall of China
ing yourself by starting the note with “You
People.” As a Hispanic American citizen I
took great offense to your letter. I feel by
that little statement you successfully segregated Hispanics. You said that the Hispanic
people were the ones “dividing people” but
you are the one telling them to “go back to
Mexico.” Which is a generalization; there
are many more Hispanic countries. So if
you choose to rant about something please
look up your topic carefully before you
complain. When I drive by and see the protesters I am thankful that I was born here
and I see human beings, families, who are
only doing what America’s forefathers did.
Did America not invade Mexico?
Second where are you from? Do you
think you’re “American?” If so, I think you
need to reconsider where your parents were
born. Just because you were born here
doesn’t give you a right to judge whether
or not people should “go back to Mexico.”
Lastly, you were complaining about the
demonstration, but yet you complain when
the Hispanic people do not speak up. What
do you want from us? When we stick up
for our rights and our needs we are whining, but when we keep quiet we are dumb.
I think that before you judge what a cultural group or society does in a negative manner that you need to reflect upon yourself
and figure out if it is you that there is
something wrong with. Mr. Savage, one
would hope you are a registered voter and
take the opportunity to vote on this issue,
where it really counts. Tonight go home
and take inventory of your family and their
needs and ask yourself if you wouldn’t do
anything for them, as these other humans
are attempting for their families. I wonder,
do we have what it takes to endure what
“those people” have? Are we the aliens?
Welcome to America, Mr. Savage, the
land that is open to all, the land of sharing
and most of all, the land of the free.

Anti-marijuana
forces ruining the county
To the Editor:
Reports from the meeting of our new
government officials are going to shake
this community up. Billions have already
been spent to stop the flow of cannabis and
this new effort against cannabis appears it
will destroy the economy of Mendocino
County. Cannabis, which is supposed to be
a low priority, appears to be a high priority
in Mendocino County.
The voters in California voted for
cannabis and the officials running our government have turned Mendocino area into a
police state against it. Fighting against the
harmless God given herb called cannabis,
which is healing so many people while
relieving their pain, helping heal our economy (40 percent) which keeps all businesses going, helps lower our crime rate which
starving people seem to increase while
home owners get rent and mortgage companies still receive their payments on time.
The herb cannabis never killed one single person by consumption compared to the
legal pharmaceutical drugs our officials
protect. Pharmaceutical drugs kill over
900,000 lives a year. Alter the gifts of God
and death prevails. When major hospitals
close their doors, the death rate in that area
goes down approximately 17 percent.
My family is moving out of this future
failing Mendocino County.
You people that are staying in
Mendocino County should start setting up
for your next election. Stop buying anything in Mendocino County. Including all
the newspapers in the area that need to be
brought down by a lack of funds. See you
all at the judgment.

While touring the Holocaust Museum in
Washington on April 16, President Bush said Sudanese
President Gen. Omar Hassan al-Bashir keeps "finding
new ways to subvert and obstruct the U.N.'s efforts to
bring peace to his country. The time for promises is
over -- President al-Bashir must act." Also present was
Elie Wiesel: "Darfur is the capital of human suffering
in the world." Of the president's ultimatum to Bashir,
Holocaust survivor Wiesel said: "I am a Jew who
believes in daily miracles."
The next day, instead of a miracle, the Sudanese
government bombed Darfur villages for 10 days, the
United Nations reported, leveling a school.
Undaunted, Bush, who says the genocide in Darfur
must stop, ordered new sanctions against Sudan on
May 29, accusing al-Bashir of being "complicit in the
bombing, murder and rape of innocent civilians."
These sanctions prevent 31 additional firms owned or
controlled by Sudan from engaging in business with
United States companies and our banking system.
Speaking for China -- to which Sudan sells 60 percent of its oil and 40 percent of its total exports -- Liu
Guijin, China's special representative in Darfur, said
on the same day (Sudan Tribune): "These willful sanctions and simply applying pressure is not conducive to
solving the problem. ... It will only make achieving a
solution more complicated."
With China the world's chief protector of Sudan, it
is increasingly evident that a worldwide boycott of the
2008 Olympics in Beijing will be much more effective
than sanctions against Sudan. But Bush keeps trying.
In addition to economic sanctions, Bush pledged
that we will urge the U.N. Security Council to impose
an arms embargo on Sudan, and a prohibition against
military flights over Darfur to end the bombing not
only of the black Africans' villages, but also of meetings of rebel groups trying to end the fighting among
themselves. (The latter armistice is also essential for
any chance of long-range peace in Darfur.)
Bush did not detail how he will persuade China and
Russia (each on the U.N. Security Council) against
vetoing these American proposals. Since his plan does
not include any sanctions against those countries, the
U.N. Security Council will, as always, be useless in
ending the genocide.
In all the press coverage of our president's clearly
sincere but ineffective threats against Gen. al-Bashir, I
saw no mention of the May 23 Washington Post report
"Flights Between U.S., China to Double." Not only
will daily flights be more than double, but also -- said
U.S. Transportation Secretary Mary Peters -- by 2011,
China (by lifting limits on cargo flights and carriers)
will provide U.S. cargo carriers "virtually unlimited
access."
Among those celebrating this new expansion of our
economic ties with China was U.S. Treasury Secretary
Henry M. Paulson Jr. who, The Washington Post
reported, "said the Chinese government agreed to
remove a block on new foreign securities firms and
will resume licensing them this year" -- as well as
allowing "licensed foreign banks to immediately begin
offering yuan-denominated debit and credit cards."
Since China is the only nation in the world that can
compel Gen. al-Bashir to end the genocide and disarm
his Janjaweed militia (described by their victims as
"the devils on horseback") who have killed and raped
untold numbers of black Africans in Darfur, I suggest
Bush introduce the secretary of the Treasury to Wiesel,
who will instruct him on genocide.
Not all disagreements between China and the
United Sates on trade were ended in the two-day economic dialogue, but U.S. trade representative Susan
Schwab was pleased: "Suffice to say we had a healthy
exchange of views." How this summit meeting on the
business of increasing profits for both countries affects
the very lives of the surviving people of Darfur was
not cited.
I guess business is business, as noted by Jody
Williams and Mia Farrow in their May 23 Wall Street
Journal column on "Sudan's Enablers." They point out
that "China's interests in Sudan are represented almost
entirely by China National Petroleum Company and
PetroChina ... two faces of the same entity."
Yet the admirable philanthropist Warren Buffett and
his Berkshire Hathaway firm, "which has roughly $3
billion invested in PetroChina -- voted earlier this
month not only against divesting (in those two
enablers of Sudan's genocide), but also against taking
any shareholder action on the issue."
Williams and Farrow ask of Buffett how "a man can
be a true humanitarian while offering billions of dollars to a company that is underwriting Khartoum's
crimes."
I expect that with the expansion of daily flights to
China, Buffett will enjoy the very best accommodations, as will Secretary of the Treasury Henry M.
Paulson Jr. Meanwhile, every day, the devils on horseback will be riding in Darfur.

Downtown Merchants Association. Crafters
will be able to display and sell their wares during the Farmers Market, then later the festivities will spill into the streets of Historic
Downtown Ukiah. Musicians, dancers and
street performers will be on hand, while local
artists display their work in the various shops,
businesses and boutiques.

Ukiah Music Center hosting
outdoor concert series
Starting this summer and running through
the end of September, the Ukiah Music Center
is hosting a free outdoor concert series, cabaret
style called Acoustic Café at the Center. The
Acoustic Café series will be every other
Saturday evening from 7 to 10 p.m. in the back
courtyard of the Music Center located at 745
N. State St. in Ukiah. There will food and beverages for sale at the series while a wide diversity of music is performed free throughout the
summer months.
In response to the large group of musicians
locally that have requested more venues to perform in and around the central valley, the
Music Center decided to build a stage, put in
tables and chairs under two large tents at the
back of their store location and host this new
series.
Bringing a flavor of European style, outdoor
cafes add to the ambience of dining and listening to music with friends outdoors in a relaxed
setting. The Acoustic Café at the Center will
hopefully be a tradition that will build on the
great acoustic musical talent that surrounds
everybody in Mendocino County.

Heart disease most likely killed cricket coach
By HOWARD CAMPBELL
Associated Press Writer
KINGSTON, Jamaica —
Heart disease likely killed
Pakistan cricket coach Bob
Woolmer, authorities said
Wednesday, while an opposition leader in Jamaica’s parliament called for firing the
pathologist who set off a global murder investigation by
concluding he had been strangled.
South African pathologist
Lorna J. Martin, who conducted one of three independent
autopsies on Woolmer, also
told the AP that Woolmer’s
death was most likely related
to heart problems.
“Taking into account his
medical history and the findings of the autopsy, it looks
very certainly like it’s a cardiac cause of death,” Martin,
who is head of forensic medicine and toxicology at the
University of Cape Town, said
in a phone interview.
Jamaican pathologist Dr.
Ere Seshaiah had previously
concluded Woolmer had been
strangled in his hotel room in
March after his team was
ousted from the Cricket World
Cup in a surprise loss to
Ireland.
The
announcement
shocked the cricket world and
triggered a high-profile homicide investigation. But on
Tuesday Jamaican police said
three independent pathologists
from Britain, South Africa and
Canada determined Woolmer
died of natural causes, and
closed the murder probe. They
did not disclose the exact
cause of death, pending the
release of a coroner’s report.
Opposition
lawmaker
Derrick Smith called for
Seshaiah to be fired.
“He led the investigation
team down a wrong path,”
Smith said outside parliament.
“Now that we have found out
that he has made an error, he
should be terminated.”
Seshaiah reportedly said he
still believes Woolmer was
strangled in his hotel room.
“I am sticking to my findings. He was murdered,”
Seshaiah told The Jamaica
Observer.
Seshaiah, who has not
responded to requests for
comment from the AP, told the
Observer he is confident the
coach was slain.
“Woolmer is not a first for
me,” he said. “I have been
doing autopsies here since
1995.”
Security Minister Peter
Phillips ordered a review of
the probe into Woolmer’s
death to assess “standards of
professionalism” shown by all
medical and police investigators.

Lincecum suffers
his first Major
League loss
By JANIE McCAULEY
AP Sports Writer
SAN FRANCISCO —
To the San Francisco
Giants, Tim Lincecum is
“Franchise.” Toronto treated him like a typical freshman.
Aaron Hill hit a two-run
single in the Blue Jays’
five-run fourth inning,
Matt Stairs added two
RBIs and Toronto handed
Lincecum his first major
league loss and avoided a
three-game sweep with a 74 victory Wednesday.
Lincecum questioned
his poise, one of the characteristics the Giants have
long praised.
“I was pretty frustrated
and showing it, and that’s
not something I should be
doing,” said Lincecum.
“I’ll talk to some guys and
get my head back in it. I
always thought that was
my best asset. My dad said,
’Don’t ever show emotion,’ and I did today.”
Dustin McGowan (3-2)
won his third straight decision and also added a single, and Adam Lind
walked twice in the same
inning. The Blue Jays concluded a six-day, six-game
road trip with a 3-3 record.
McGowan struck out six
in six innings and Toronto
won in San Francisco for
the first time in six tries,
improving to 2-7 all-time
against the Giants. He
allowed two runs and
seven hits with four walks.
Former Giant Jeremy
Accardo finished for his
eighth save in 10 chances.
Lincecum (2-1), the
Giants’ top draft pick in
2006 at 10th overall and
nicknamed “Franchise” by
his teammates, went 3 2-3
innings for his shortest outing.
“I wasn’t even close to
the zone with most of my
balls,” Lincecum said.
“Up, down, all over the
place.”
Lincecum got his first
major league hit, as did
catcher
Guillermo
Rodriguez and reliever
Jonathan Sanchez. The last
time three players on the
same team collected their
first career hits on the same
day was Sept. 20, 1998, by
Atlanta’s Mark DeRosa,
Wes Helms and Bruce
Chen at Arizona, according
to the Elias Sports Bureau.
The last time it happened when September
roster expansion wasn’t in
effect was April 19, 1962,
by the expansion Houston
Colt .45s at Wrigley Field.
According to Elias, Johnny
Weekly, Pidge Browne and
Merritt Ranew all got their
first hits.
The
right-handed
Lincecum was tagged for
seven runs and seven hits,
striking out six and walking four. He lasted 4 1-3
innings in his last outing
and also in his first start,
May
6
against
Philadelphia.
“I was glad he came out
when he did,” Hill said.
“He’s a little guy but man
he throws that ball hard.
Some guys are up there 96,
97 but you see it. With him,
sometimes it looks like it’s
coming from behind his
head and it’s just hard.”
Barry Bonds, who hit
his 747th home run
Monday night to move
within eight of Hank
Aaron’s record, pinch hit
and struck out swinging
with a runner on second for
the game’s final out. The
San Francisco slugger will
essentially have two full
days of rest before serving
as the designated hitter
against Boston all weekend
in the club’s first trip to
Fenway Park since playing
the Boston Braves in 1915
as the New York Giants.
Accardo was ready to
see No. 25 in the ninth.

Niners’ Nolan gets permission to suit up at Candlestick
By GREG BEACHAM
AP Sports Writer
SANTA CLARA — Coach Mike
Nolan will be a sharp-dressed man at
all the San Francisco 49ers’ home
games this season.
Nolan and Jacksonville Jaguars
coach Mike Del Rio got permission
from NFL commissioner Roger
Goodell on Wednesday to wear suits
and ties to all eight of their clubs’
regular-season home games in 2007.
The dress-up detente was the
result of nearly three years of negotiations among Nolan, the league and
Reebok. Though the league determines what apparel can be worn on
the sideline, Reebok provides that
clothing for coaches — from Bill
Belichick’s sleeveless sweatshirts to
the black suit Nolan was allowed to
wear in two games last season.
“As I mentioned before, I made
this request out of the high amount of
respect I have for the NFL, the San
Francisco 49ers, my
father and all of the
former coaches who
have worn suits,”
said Nolan, who’s 11-20 in two seasons with the Niners.
Ever since he got the 49ers’ top
job in 2005, Nolan has sought permission to dress like his ex-coach
father while projecting an image of
authority. He got a trial run last year
when both Nolan and Del Rio were
allowed to suit up in coat-and-tie
ensembles manufactured by Reebok
during two home games.
But Nolan wanted to wear his oldschool outfit at every home game.
He saw the move as a tribute to the
league’s great coaches of the past —
including his father, Dick, who
coached the 49ers from 1968-75 but
is now in poor health with
Alzheimer’s disease and prostate
cancer.
NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy
said other coaches also would be
allowed to wear suits at home games
if they desired — though only Nolan
and Del Rio expressed interest when
the league surveyed the coaches during NFL meetings in Arizona in
March.
“Commissioner Goodell made the
decision to help,” McCarthy said. “It
was something that we re-evaluated,
and we wanted to work with Coach
Nolan and also open it up to other
coaches.”
Last week, Nolan expressed frustration with the league and Reebok
over its reluctance to provide suits,
saying the process was “ridiculous,”
and “they wish it would go away, but
I try to keep it alive as much as I
can.”
Nolan’s outfit last season consisted of a black suit, a white shirt and a
red-and-gold striped tie. Goodell
said the new Reebok outfits for the
2007 season must reflect team colors
as well, though the details will be
worked out later.
Nolan’s quest attracted support
from 49ers fans who backed an
online movement to persuade every
(Dean Coppola/Contra Costa Times)
spectator to show up to the home Head coach Mike Nolan talks to
reporters during a mini-camp workopener wearing a suit and tie.

Spurs downplay dynasty talk
By TOM WITHERS
AP Sports Writer
CLEVELAND —
Their blueprint, shaded in tones of silver,
white and black, is
based on defense, discipline and teamwork.
The
San
Antonio Spurs have
never wavered from
it, making them the
NBA’s current standard of excellence.
They aren’t the
first dominant team,
nor will they be the
last.
The
Boston
Celtics, Los Angeles
Lakers and Chicago
Bulls preceded them,
but nobody does it
better these days than
the bland-yet-becoming Spurs, now one
win shy of a fourth
championship in nine
years — and perhaps
a special place in history.
“They’ve become
the class of this
league, there’s no
question about it,”
said Utah guard
Derek Fisher, whose
Jazz team lost to the
Spurs in the Western
Conference finals.
An elite team?
Undoubtedly.
A
dynasty?
Hmmm.
That was the word
being kicked around
the court inside
Quicken Loans Arena
on Wednesday as the
Spurs prepared for
Thursday’s Game 4
and a possible sweep
of the Cleveland
Cavaliers, first-time
finalists who have
copied San Antonio’s
model.
However, one person didn’t want in on
the dynasty discussion.
“That’s all psycho
babble,” Spurs coach
Gregg Popovich said,
using one of his
favorite expressions
to downplay the
notion. “When I think
of dynasties, two
come to my mind real
quick — UCLA and
Bill
Russell.
Everything else is just
talk.”
Let’s talk about the
Spurs’ run for a second.
Beginning
with
their 1999 title,
they’ve qualified for
the playoffs every
season — no given
out West — made it to
the semifinals eight
times and advanced to
the conference finals
on five occasions.
They are 3-0 in the
NBA finals, and
unless the cold-shooting Cavaliers begin
knocking
down
jumpers and become
the first team in history to overcome an 0-3
deficit, the Spurs will
be a perfect 4-for-4 in
the finals — a 1.000
batting average in any
arena.
Getting their hands
on a fourth Larry
O’Brien
Trophy
would also put the
Spurs with the Celtics
(16), Lakers (14) and
Bulls (6) as the only
teams to win four
titles
since
the
league’s 1947 start.
Los Angeles’ three
straight
championships from 2000-02
are sandwiched by the
Spurs, who also won
star and perhaps the
greatest power forward ever.
Duncan has been
the foundation around
which the Spurs have
built their empire, one
that has been raised
through savvy business decisions, adept
international scouting
and a family oriented
philosophy laid out
by owner Peter Holt
and implemented by
general manager R.C.
Buford.
The Spurs went
overseas to find All-

it all in 2005.
Fisher was a key
member on those
Lakers teams led by
Kobe Bryant and
Shaquille
O’Neal,
and although it’s
tough for him to
admit it, Fisher feels
what the Spurs have
accomplished
has
eclipsed what he and
his teammates did.
“I hate to say it,”
Fisher began, “but
they’re probably surpassing us, to be honest. We had that great
four-to-five-year period, but you have to
kind of look at the
Bulls and the Celtics
and the Lakers teams
of the 80s that dominated an entire period.
“I can honestly say
they’re surpassing us
in terms of recent
dynasties and teams
that have been able to
sustain that level of
excellence over a
long period of time.”
Tracing the Spurs’
path to prominence
leads to one point: the
1997 NBA draft lottery, when the club
won the rights to draft
center Tim Duncan,
their unappreciated
Star Tony Parker,
their Road Runner of
a point guard, as well
as super sub Manu
Ginobili and starting
center
Fabricio
Oberto, who are both
from Argentina.
San Antonio has
also been able to lure
free agents such as
Brent Barry, Michael
Finley and Robert
Horry, valuable role
players who joined
the club with hopes of
winning an NBA
championship, or in
Horry’s case, a seventh one.
Finley spent eight
seasons with Dallas,
but it took him heading south in Texas to
land in his first finals.
The 12-year veteran
remembers marveling
at the Spurs’ consistency while he was
with the Mavericks.
“From the outside
looking
in,
we
thought they were a
perfect team, a team
that didn’t make mistakes, a team that
went out and played
perfect ball,” he said.
“But once I got here,
it was those imperfections that made them
a good team. It’s not a

perfect team, it makes

those mistakes and
doesn’t crumble to
adverse situations is
what makes it a great
team.”
NBA teams are no
different than those in
the NFL, where the
best ideas and brightest talents elsewhere
are either borrowed or
stolen.
The Cavaliers’ first
visit to the finals in 37
years
has
been
orchestrated by former Spurs. GM
Danny Ferry played
four seasons in San
Antonio and spent
two others as their
director of basketball
operations. Assistant
GM Lance Blanks
won two titles in San
Antonio’s front office
and coach Mike
Brown was an assistant under Popovich
for three years.
Both were hired by
Cleveland owner Dan
Gilbert, a Detroit
native and longtime
Pistons fan, who
began remaking the
Cavs in San Antonio’s
likeness after the
Spurs beat his former
favorite team in the
2005 finals.
Like the Spurs, the
Cavs have a superstar
in LeBron James,
who needs to be surrounded by better talent for the team to
win its first title.
“When you want to
be the best, you want
to try to mirror image
the best,” James said,
“and they’re definitely the best team in our
league at this point in
time. You want to try
to do exactly what
they do.”
On what could
have been their final
day of practice this
season, none of the
Spurs would bite on
talk of them being a
dynasty.
“Maybe 10 years
from now, I’ll be able
to discuss that,” Barry
said. “But right now
the focus is trying to
win a championship.”
James, though, has
seen enough of them
in three games to
offer his opinion on
the Spurs, who rarely
get their due.
“They have a
dynasty already at
work,” he said. “They
don’t have the greatest athletes in the
world, they don’t
have the greatest
shooters in the world,
but they probably
have the greatest team
in the world.
“And that’s what
this sport is all about.
It’s not about an individual.”
Winn was back in San
Francisco’s starting
lineup after being
held out a night earlier because of a sore
ribcage.
Hall of Famers
Juan Marichal and
Dave Winfield were
picked Wednesday to
manage in the AllStar Futures game on
July 8 in San

Marichal, a ninetime All-Star who

the Giants, will manage the world team.
Winfield, a 12-time
All-Star, will lead the
U.S. team.

Oakmont set apart by the
“fastest greens in the land”
By DOUG FERGUSON
AP Golf Writer
OAKMONT, Pa. — This
was no magic trick, just
Oakmont.
Steve Stricker was standing
next to his bag marking his
golf balls before his final
practice round Wednesday at
the U.S. Open when he
dropped one on the green. He
watched it trickle around the
bag, appear on the other side
and hit someone in the foot, a
180-degree turn over an area
of 5 feet.
The smile on his face disguised a wince.
Stricker is among the best
putters in golf, and even he
took a breath on the eve of an
Open that will be held on a
course reputed to have the
fastest greens in the land.
“The setup is comparable
from the tee until you reach
the green,” Stricker said. “But
once you hit the green, it’s
another game.”
Oakmont opened in 1903,
and while there have been
changes over the years, the
greens remain virtually
untouched.
But that was before a thunderstorm
moved
into
Pittsburgh and pounded the
course with four-tenths of an
inch of ran in an hour. USGA
officials were hopeful it
would not change the course
dramatically, but it figures to
take some of the fright out of
firm and fast conditions.
Before the storms, it was
not surprising to see so much
activity on the putting green,
an extension of the ninth
green at Oakmont. Tiger
Woods took the day off,
except to hit balls on the range
and work on his putting. He
hit one that missed on the low
side and then rapped another
that found the bottom of the
cup while the first one continued to roll away until he
walked over to pick it up.
“They are by far the most
difficult greens I’ve ever
played,” Woods said. “I
thought Winged Foot was
pretty tough. Augusta is pretty
tough. But both courses have
flat spots. Augusta may have
these big, big slopes, but they
have these flat shelves that
they usually put the pins on.
Here, I’m trying to figure
where a flat shelf is.”
The rough is thick enough
that most players doubt they
will be able to get out of it and
onto the greens. That’s not
unusual at a U.S. Open. The
smart play is to wedge out of
the hay, leave 100 yards to the
green and try to hit another
wedge close to the hole.
“You hit that wedge shot
that takes a big hop and
stops,” Stricker explained.

“But here, it takes the big hop

Toney, Batchelder positive for steroids
LOS ANGELES — Threetime champion James Toney
tested positive for steroids and
could face a one-year suspension from boxing.
Armando Garcia, the
California State Athletic
Commission’s executive officer, said Toney and Danny
Batchelder, his opponent in a
heavyweight bout May 24 in
San Jose, tested positive for
two types of steroids. They
were suspended indefinitely.
“They have a right to
appeal,”
Garcia
said
Wednesday. “My recommendation is suspension until the
end of the licensing year and a
$2,500 fine for both. We will
give them the 30 days to
appeal. If they don’t, that’s
what the suspension will be.”
Toney tested positive for
boldenone and stanazolol, and
Batchelder tested positive for
stanazolol and oxandolone,
Garcia said. If they don’t
appeal, the boxers would be
suspended one year from the
date of their fight.
Toney won a split decision
over Batchelder, an outcome
that won’t be changed, Garcia
said. Toney has a 70-6-3
record with 43 knockouts and
Batchelder is 25-5-1 with 12
knockouts.
The 38-year-old Toney is a
former IBF middleweight,
super-middleweight
and
cruiserweight champion.
He tested positive for nandrolone two years ago, and it
cost him a victory over WBC
heavyweight champion John
Ruiz. That bout was ruled a
no-contest.

Willits. He spent all but the
last 17 years of his life in
SoCal, mostly in Pasadena
and the San Gabriel Valley.
He met my mom while working as a conductor on the old
Pasadena street cars and also
on the old Mt. Lowe Railway
which was a excursion
tramway that ran up in the
mountains above Pasadena.
Though he had degrees from
USC and Caltech in chemistry
and geology, he’d graduated
at the height of the Depression
and so ended up parlaying that
rail conductor job into eventually being a locomotive engineer for a SoCal freight railway (Pacific Electric) which
got swallowed by Southern
Pacific, from which he retired.
The old street car lines
(The Big Red Cars), which
were LA’s very practical and
popular mass transit system in
the ‘30s and ‘40s, had, by
then,
been
deliberately
destroyed in order to sell more
automobiles, in a well-known
story. My dad always had a
darkroom in the house, but it
was little-used by the time I
was growing up in the ‘50s.
After my dad died in 1999, I
hazmatted a five gallon bottle
of bluish developing fluid,
which he’d moved up to
Willits, thinking that someday
he’d get back into photography... I don’t know what camera he was using.
I’ve only had a handful of
these negatives turned into
positives and printed: the one
of Uncle Ben from 1902 and
the ones from my grandparent’s honeymoon at Avalon on
Catalina in 1904 (the family
story is that my grandmother
caught all the albacore), and a
few of the other family and
friend group shots from the
‘30s. I’d never seen a positive
image of the one of dad that
you scanned and cleaned up
before.”
After learning these facets
of the man in the newly turned
positive negative, I started to
think of the story behind my
own dad. This weekend, when
Father’s Day shows up on the
calendar, I will spend some
time reminiscing about who
my dad was. I will take out
my photo collection of him
and remember that I have his
blue eyes, his silly grin, his
hard work ethic, and a collection of stories that define who
he was -- and why I am who I
am.

“Surf’s Up” directed by
Ash Brannon and Chris Buck
and starring the voices of Shia
LaBeouf (“Disturbia”), Jeff
Bridges (“Seabiscuit”), Zooey
Deschanel
(“Failure

James Wood (“Be Cool”) is a
cute animated movie with a
lot of ambition.
Cody Maverick lives in
Shiverpool, Antartica with his
mother and brother. Both
family members don’t really
believe surfing is a job and
don’t think he should be wasting his time as a penguin
doing it.
When Cody was young Big
Z came to visit Shiverpool.
He was a surfing legend and
Cody looked up to him.
Now 17 years have gone by
and Cody’s dream is to leave

great surfer.
“Surf’s Up” is definitely a
great animated kids film to
start off the beginning of summer.
The characters are very
well thought out and their dialogue keeps this film funny
and entertaining. Animation,
as I have said before, has
come such a long way and this
movie shows even more of the
great lengths of technology
we have. The pristine look of
the water as well as the look
and walk of the penguins is
phenomenal to see on the big
screen.
Families of all ages will
enjoy this film and I highly
recommend it to everyone.
Rating: PG -- mild language and some rude humor

You are likely to experience a marked improvement
where your work or career is
concerned. In many ways,
the pride of accomplishment
will prove to be even greater
than the gold you’ll receive.
GEMINI (May 21-June
20) -- As a Gemini, one of
your greatest natural assets
is the ability to effectively
juggle a number of projects
simultaneously, doing each
well. You may get a chance
to utilize this talent.
CANCER (June 21-July
22) -- It behooves you to
keep a low profile in developments that have a direct
effect on your work or
career. If you’re not obvious
about your advances, competitors can’t shoot you
down.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - If you can, spend your day
with friends who don’t take
themselves too seriously.
Their attitude will have an
uplifting effect on your own
psyche and make you more
at ease with events.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22) -- Much personal satisfaction can be garnered from
situations or conditions
where you use your mental
prowess to meet and overcome challenges. If you
think win, you’ll act accordingly.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.
23) -- It is often unwise to
offer advice to someone who
hasn’t
solicited
any.
However, if you have some
constructive suggestions to

TODAY’S
SPORTS:
In
1876,
Philadelphia’s George Hall became the first
professional baseball player to hit for the cycle
-- a single, double, triple and home run in the
offer a friend, find a way to
supply it to him or her.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
22) -- When involved in a
collective
endeavor,
it
would be wise to let others
with strong backs do the
heavy lifting while you do
the brainwork. What you
have to offer will prove
equal to theirs.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.
23-Dec. 21) -- If you have to
make a decision where the
alternative appears to be of
equal value, point your judgment toward that which previously proved to be successful. Trade on experience.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan.
19)
-Misunderstandings can be
same game.
TODAY’S QUOTE: “Any mind that is
capable of real sorrow is capable of good.” -Harriet Beecher Stowe
TODAY’S FACT: There are six combatarms branches of the U.S. Army: Infantry,
Armor/Cavalry, Field Artillery, Air Defense
Artillery, Aviation and Special Forces.
TODAY’S MOON: New moon (June 14)
reversed and communication
re-established if you take
ample time to talk things
over with those who have
been at odds with you.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 19) -- Inclinations you
have to take a chance on
something that is not of a
material nature should work
out rather well for you.
Think twice about gambling
on things of a purely financial risk.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March
20) -- Two important matters
you’ve been anxious to get
off your back can be concluded. You already know
what they are and what
needs to be done, so don’t
stand back and do nothing.
ARIES (March 21-April
19) -- There isn’t much that
is apt to escape your attention. You’ll be both mentally
alert as well as a quick
study. To top it off, you’ll be
eager to soak up as much
knowledge as possible.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20) -- Keep an open mind
and forgo approaching
everything from a too structured faction, because you’ll
have the opportunity to
advance your financial position by going after something new.
Know where to look for
romance and you'll find it.

LOTS OF “STUFF”
Foul-mouthed fans drive family from sporting event
Dear Annie: My 30-year-old son is very
good at stock car racing. We like to support all
of our kids in everything they do. Racing, however, causes a problem in our family. That is
because of the obscenities that seem to be a
large part of the language of some of the
crowd. We find it very offensive and embarrassing.
I would like to invite my mother to see her
grandson race, but am reluctant to do so
because of this. How can I handle the problem?
Some of the people with offensive language
are seated several rows away, but we are still
able to hear them. -- Eagle Mom
Dear Eagle Mom: You can’t control what
other people say in a public venue, no matter
how rude or disgusting. Inform your mother of
the vulgar language and give her the choice of
attending or not. Offer to get her earplugs or
headphones.
Dear Annie: Last June, my brother suffered
from heatstroke, and he died later that same
day. Now that the weather is warming up, I
ANNIE’S MAILBOX
By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
want to let your readers know that when
they’re at the beach, in the garden doing yard
work or whatever they plan to do outside, they
should take care out in the heat. If you could
print some suggestions on how to keep cool,
that would be greatly appreciated. -Anonymous
Dear Anonymous: Our deepest condolences. Heatstroke is deadly and can affect anyone, at any age. If you are going to be outside
in the heat, it is important to hydrate your body
with water or a sports drink on a regular basis,
whether or not you feel thirsty. Stay away from
drinks containing caffeine or alcohol. Here is
more information (source: MayoClinic.com):
The main sign of heatstroke is a markedly

elevated body temperature -- generally greater
than 104 F -- with changes in mental status
ranging from personality changes to confusion
and coma. Skin may be hot and dry, although
in heatstroke caused by exertion, the skin is
usually moist. Other signs and symptoms may
include rapid heartbeat; rapid and shallow
breathing; elevated or lowered blood pressure;
cessation of sweating; irritability, confusion or
unconsciousness; fainting, which may be the
first sign in older adults. If you suspect heatstroke:
• Move the person out of the sun and into a
shady or air-conditioned space.
• Dial 911 or call for emergency medical
assistance.
• Cool the person by covering him or her
with damp sheets or by spraying with cool
water. Direct air onto the person with a fan or
newspaper.
Dear Annie: I was very excited to see Red
Skelton’s version of the Pledge of Allegiance
in your column. But I was disappointed when
it came to the end and you didn’t print the last
few sentences. When quoting someone, I
always felt it was necessary to deliver the
whole quote, not just what you thought was
politically correct. -- Salem, Ore.
Dear Salem: We were actually quoting Red
Skelton’s teacher, Mr. Laswell. Many readers
were upset that we did not include Red
Skelton’s comments, which were not in the
original definitions. Part of that is simply that
we ran out of space. The rest is because we
were trying to be accurate. When Red Skelton
was a boy and learned the Pledge, it did not
include the words “under God.” Those words
were added in 1954, in part, some say, to distinguish our citizens from those of communist
countries. In 1969, at the height of the protests
against the Vietnam War, Red Skelton recited
the definitions on his television show, and at
the end, said:
“Since I was a small boy, two states have
been added to our country and two words have
been added to the Pledge of Allegiance . . .
under God. Wouldn’t it be a pity if someone
said that is a prayer and that would be eliminated from schools, too?”
And now, dear readers, today is Flag Day
and the 28th Annual National Pause for the
Pledge of Allegiance at 7 p.m. (Eastern time).

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER
ESTATE
CASE NO.: SCUK CVPB 07-25039
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or
both, of: MARY DOLORES HIATT
A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed
by: JACOB ANTHONY BARNES in the Superior Court of California, County of Mendocino.
THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests
that: JACOB ANTHONY BARNES be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.
THE PETITION requests the decedent's will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate.
The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.
THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow
the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before
taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action). The independent administration authority will be granted unless
an interested person files an objection to the
petition and shows good cause why the court
should not grant the authority.
A HEARING on the petition will be held on
JUNE 29, 2007 at 9:30 a.m. in Dept.: E, located at: COURTHOUSE, 100 N. State
Street, Ukiah, CA 95482
IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and
state your objections or file written objections
with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.
IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent
creditor of the deceased, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to the
personal representative appointed by the
court within four months from the date of first
issuance of letters as provided in section
9100 of the California Probate Code. The
time for filing claims will not expire before four
months from the hearing date noticed above.
YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for
Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of
an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or
of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court
clerk.

Raff
Briefly
Mendocino County for it.
“That’s the straw that
broke the camel’s back,” Raff
said. “If I was coming back, I
was coming back meaning
business.”
On
cross-examination,
Raff blamed Larkin’s death
on the Mendocino County
court system and its failure to
rule in his favor on the child
support issue.
Raff said he came back to
Ukiah to shoot Larkin
because she would not stop
pursuing child support payments.
“The bottom line is that I
defended myself,” Raff said.
“Nobody is going to put me in
a cardboard box, and nobody
is going to make me beg for
food.”
In his closing argument,
Deputy District Attorney
James Nerli said there was no
evidence presented at trial to
indicate Raff was defending
himself or that he was provoked to attack Larkin.
“There is no self-defense
here,” Nerli said. “There is no
provocation.”
“Just because he doesn’t
want to pay child support
doesn’t give him the right to
come here and kill a member
of our community,” Nerli
said.
Public Defender Wes
Hamilton used his closing
argument to point out flaws in
the prosecution’s case.
“No one saw Mr. Raff
shoot Mrs. Larkin,” Hamilton
said.
He also argued there was
no evidence that put Raff in
the Law Offices of Hugh L.
Preston on the day of the murder and that no fingerprints
matching Raff’s were found
either on the murder weapon
or on the clip that Raff turned
over to courthouse security on
the day of the murder.
Hamilton also argued that
the prosecution had not
shown evidence of deliberate
premeditation and asked the
jury to find Raff guilty of the
lesser charge of seconddegree murder.
The jury deliberated for
just over an hour before finding Raff guilty of first-degree
murder as well as finding him
guilty of the special allegations that he killed Larkin
with a gun, that he did it for
financial gain and that he lay
in wait to commit the crime.
Raff is scheduled to be sentenced at 1:30 p.m. July 10.
He faces a sentence of 50
years to life imprisonment.
appears to be entering the final stages of life,”
said Larry Ross, Graham’s personal
spokesman.
The news came the same day Billy Graham
said he and Ruth will be buried at the recently
dedicated Billy Graham Library in Charlotte.
In a statement, Graham said his 87-year-old
wife, who has degenerative osteoarthritis of
the back and neck and has been bedridden at
their home in the mountains of western North
Carolina for some time, “is close to going
home to heaven.”
“Ruth is my soul mate and best friend, and I
cannot imagine living a single day without her
by my side,” Graham said. “I am more in love
with her today than when we first met over 65
years ago as students at Wheaton College.”
Ross said Ruth Graham was treated two
weeks ago for pneumonia and her health temporarily improved before declining because of
her weakened condition. Ross said she is being
treated at her home outside Asheville, in the
town of Montreat.
She celebrated her birthday on Sunday and
was alert, Ross said. Billy Graham and four of
their children are now at her side. The couple’s
youngest child, Ned, is flying in from the West
Coast.

Autopsy: Soldier in Texas
training exercise died of
hyperthermia, dehydration
FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) — A soldier who
went missing for four days after a solo navigation exercise died of hyperthermia and dehydration, according to autopsy results released
Wednesday.
The body of Sgt. Lawrence G. Sprader, 25,
was found Tuesday night in a brushy area on
the Central Texas Army post’s training ground,
said Eddy Howton, Fort Hood’s director of
emergency services. About 3,000 people,
including soldiers, covered more than 30
square miles searching for him in 90-degree
heat.
A brief report on the autopsy, conducted at
the Southwestern Institute of Forensics
Sciences at Dallas, was released by a Bell
County justice of the peace. The report did not
provide further details.
Officials have said Sprader had two canteens of water, a water backpack and two
Meals Ready To Eat when he left. His body
was found near plenty of drinking water from
creeks and other sources, said Robert Volk,
Fort Hood’s chief game warden.
Officials do not suspect foul play, said Lt.
Col. Carter Oates, commander of the 11th MP
Battalion, Criminal Investigations Division,
where Sprader was assigned.
Scientists say fossilized bones
of giant, birdlike dinosaur
have been found in China
BEIJING (AP) — The remains of a giant,
birdlike dinosaur as tall as the formidable
tyrannosaur have been found in China, a surprising discovery that indicates a more complicated evolutionary process for birds than originally thought, scientists said Wednesday.
Fossilized bones uncovered in the Erlian
Basin of northern China’s Inner Mongolia
region show that the specimen was about 26
feet long, 16 feet tall and weighed 3,000
pounds, said Xu Xing, a paleontologist at the
Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology &
Paleoanthropology in Beijing.
The height is comparable to the meat-eating
tyrannosaurs. But the dinosaur, called
Gigantoraptor elrianensis, also had a beak and
slender legs and likely had feathers. It was 35
times larger than its likely close relation, the
Caudiperyx, a small, feathered dinosaur
species, Xu said.
That puts the Gigantoraptor’s existence at
odds with prevailing theories that dinosaurs
became smaller as they evolved into birds and
that bigger dinosaurs had less birdlike characteristics, he said.
“This is like having a mouse that is the size
of a horse or cow,” said Xu, who co-authored a
paper on the finding published Thursday in the
journal Nature. “It is very important information for us in our efforts to trace the evolution
process of dinosaurs to birds. It’s more complicated than we imagined.”
Britney Spears’ mother,
Lynne, says 25-year-old pop
star ‘just figuring things out’
NEW YORK (AP) — Lynne Spears says
her daughter Britney, whose public meltdown
included shearing off her own locks, is “just
figuring things out.”
“It’s sad that the whole world had to watch
her make mistakes that all of us have made at
one time or another,” Spears is quoted as
telling Us Weekly magazine in its latest issue.
The 25-year-old pop star completed a
monthlong stay at a luxury Malibu rehabilitation treatment facility in March after attracting
an onslaught of media attention for wild
behavior that included partying with Paris
Hilton and a stop at a San Fernando Valley hair
salon, where she shaved her own head.
Britney Spears, who reached a divorce settlement with aspiring rapper Kevin Federline
in March, recently posted a message on her
Web site saying she had been acting like a “bad
kid running around with ADD (attention deficit
disorder).”
The singer filed for divorce from Federline
in November, just two months after giving
birth to the couple’s second child, Jayden
James. Their older son, Sean Preston, was born
in September 2005.
Atlantis’ return to Earth
may be delayed because of
Russian computer failure
HOUSTON (AP) — The failure of Russian
computers which control the international
space station’s positioning have NASA managers considering another extension of space
shuttle Atlantis’ visit to the orbiting outpost,
officials said Wednesday.
Since the computers failed earlier this week,
thrusters on the docked space shuttle have been
fired periodically to help maintain the space
station’s positioning.
NASA managers hoped to have the computers back up before Atlantis and its seven crew
members undock from the space station next
Tuesday. But if the computers aren’t functioning, NASA may look into extending the space
shuttle’s stay a day or two.
Atlantis’ mission, originally scheduled for
11 days, was extended by two days already so
that astronauts can go on a spacewalk to repair
a thermal blanket covering an engine pod that
peeled up during launch.
Space station program manager Mike
Suffredini said he expected the problem to be
fixed in the next couple of days. In a worstcase scenario, if at least one of the computers
wasn’t operating after the shuttle left, the space
station’s three crew members could return to
Earth, he said. “We always have an option to
depart,” Suffredini said.
On Wednesday, two astronauts went on a
spacewalk to complete two tasks. They helped
fold up a solar wing and tried to bring to life a
rotating joint that will allow a new pair of solar
.
arrays to track the sun.

“Our society is a better

in a statement to the court.
All told, Dahl Sims is

Woodward’s position from

animal control officer who
oversees the area to spend
more time in the field.
But Mahoney said the work
is not over. She is asking the
board to allocate an extra
$200,000 in the 2007/2008
Fiscal Year budget to coastal
shelter operations.
“It’s a start, but a start that
can’t stop,” Mahoney said of
the work that’s been done.
“These are not easy budget
times, but it’s not easy for the
animals -- the cat and dog
friends of ours that we have -without us continuing our
dedication and our care and
commitment to the coast shelter.”
More staff to allow weekend hours, an improved adoption program and eventually, a
new facility, are needed,
Mahoney said.

Dahl Sims was jailed at the
Alhambra State Penitentiary
pending trial and Mendocino
County dropped the extradition warrant against him in
order to allow Arizona prosecutors to complete their case.
When Arizona dropped its
case against him because of
insufficient evidence, the
Mendocino County District
Attorney’s Office had to
quickly reinstate the extradition warrant before he was
released
In addition to the jail time,
Dahl Sims was also ordered to
pay restitution to Joanne Sims
of $292,118.

recently-formed nonprofit
organization, is also calling on
the board to allocate more
money to the Fort Bragg
Shelter.
“Stop treating us like the
‘forgotten coast.’ Provide a
fair share of the budget for the
Mendocino Animal Care and
Control to the Fort Bragg
extension,” FMCAS President
Raymond
Arnold
said
Tuesday, addressing the
board.
According to Arnold, only
about 9 percent of county
shelter expenditures reach the
coast, with the remainder
spent inland at the Ukiah
Shelter. The group of about 50
has pledged to seek grants and
other funds to match any
money the county puts toward
a
capital
improvement
account for a new shelter in
Fort Bragg.
“There’s a real community
concern for the treatment of
animals here,” Arnold said.
The Board of Supervisors
will consider Mahoney’s
request at the end of August
during final budget hearings.
