Ukiah Idols carry a tune
By ZACK SAMPSEL
The Daily Journal
A
large crowd filled the Thurston
Stage area and surrounding tents
at the Redwood Empire Fair
Sunday as the wind blew a gentle
breeze, which helped stir up excitement
for the Ukiah Idol contest Sunday. The
contest, sponsored by the Ukiah Civic
Light Opera and radio station KWINE,
was the fourth of its kind and the second
to be held at the fairgrounds.
Local radio personality Cherie
Sharrock hosted Sunday’s Ukiah Idol
contest, which gave the adult division
singers a chance to shine following
Friday’s contests in the Little and Junior
Idol divisions.
As the crowd filled the seats, the
excitement was almost palpable as the
performers warmed up. The afternoon
got started with the winners from
Friday’s contests, Jessika Ramos and
Phoebe Bridges, performed their songs.
Bridges brought about memories of classic rock singing and playing Neil
Young’s ‘After the Gold Rush,’ much to
the pleasure of the crowd.
After Bridges and Ramos got the
crowd warmed up, three-time Ukiah Idol
contestant Joni Cahill blew the crowd
away with a well-choreographed dance.
Fort Bragg approaches
final phases of its
Franklin Street project

Argonaut Constructors personnel worked from
dawn to dusk this week to get a fresh layer of smooth
pavement laid down over Franklin Street from Oak to
Manzanita.
The final phases of the Franklin Street improvement project remain on schedule, and as of Tuesday
night about 5:30 p.m., the paving machine was about
a half-block from Manzanita Street where Franklin
ends to the north.
Crews completed paving a block at a time, starting
at Oak Street Monday morning. As the paver crawled
north, crews also paved about 20 feet east and west of

Cahill’s strong performance didn’t go
unnoticed as she finished as the second
runner-up in the contest.
Cahill was followed by Cuban native
Marcos Peneda Garcia, who played guitar, performing an original song.
Garcia’s heart-felt performance excited
the crowd with its realistic emotions and
catchy rhythm. The first set of performances ended with a sing along as Jose
Luis Ramirez, who finished in second
place, used his flair and talent to get
everyone clapping and singing.

Large-scale sculpture at Mendocino Art Center ignites controversy
By CONNIE KORBEL
The Mendocino Beacon
For three years in a row, renowned Bay Area
artist Donna Billick was invited, as an instructor of paying students, to create a large-scale
public art piece for the Mendocino Art Center.
The resulting sculpture, referred to by the art
center as "Mendocino Portal," is the object of a
new controversy in Mendocino. Two factions
lined up before the Mendocino Historical
Review Board on Monday night.
"Mendocino Portal" was installed by staff
and board members on the art center grounds at
the corner of Little Lake and Kasten streets a
couple of weeks ago without going through the
permit process for installing a sign.
Mendocino Art Center Executive Director
Peggy Templer presented the MHRB with two
art center flip-of-the-coin positions, depending
on whether the MHRB has or does not have
jurisdiction. On one hand, Templer reported
she presented the project three years ago to
Rick Miller, county senior planner in the Fort
Bragg Planning and Building Services office.
Templer said Miller told her there was no need
for a permit, but that her recent follow-up
inquiry with Miller resulted in him telling her
he had no recollection of the discussion.
Her inquiry suggests the art center was
aware three years ago that the MHRB might
UKIAH

have jurisdiction. However, at Monday's meeting Templer said, "We never for a moment
thought of it as a sign or a structure. [The
MHRB] has no jurisdiction over the display of
public art installation. So we went ahead.
Later, Templer said, "MHRB's jurisdiction
over artistic expression is pretty minimal."
Templer indicated she filed the permit application under pressure and under "veiled
threats" of fines. She said the art center's
"belief and contention is it is a sculptural work
of art."
Templer distributed a letter from Billick to
board members and read it aloud.
In the letter Billick said, "The materials and
techniques used are historic traditions of craftsmanship practiced all over the world through
time. I believe the students over the last three
years have created a lasting beautiful piece of
public art as a gift to your community."
The planning department and MHRB think
differently. Since the sculpture reads across the
top "Mendocino Art Center," it was deemed by
them to be a sign. It also exceeds the 6-foot
height limit.
The primary contention, however, was with
its location. An offer to approve it, if the art
center agreed to move it to the sculpture garSee ART, Page A-8

Divers recover more human remains
in Minnesota at site of Saturday’s
Mississippi River bridge collapse
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Human remains were recovered
Sunday from the site of the Mississippi River bridge collapse,
the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Department said.
The remains were found at about 2:30 p.m. They were not
immediately identified.
Divers had returned to the water looking for five people
missing in the collapse of the Interstate 35W bridge, while
cranes removed a school bus and other vehicles from the ends
of the fallen span.
Navy divers were out of the water overnight after a thunderstorm forced them to quit about two hours early Saturday, Navy
spokesman Dave Nagle said. Storms made their task more dangerous over the weekend, strengthening river currents.
The bus was among 44 vehicles hoisted off the bridge over
the weekend, out of roughly 100 on the structure when it fell on
Aug. 1, Minnesota Department of Transportation spokesman
Kevin Gutknecht said. Most vehicles on the bridge’s north end
were gone; Gutknecht said work would focus on the south end
for the next day or two.
Rescuers plan to drill 3rd hole in search
of miners, video doesn’t show 6 men
HUNTINGTON, Utah (AP) — A video camera lowered into
a collapsed coal mine revealed equipment but not the six missing miners, a federal official said Sunday. Officials planned to
drill yet another hole in an attempt to locate the men.
Poor lighting allowed the camera to only see about 15 feet
into a void at the bottom of the drill hole, far less than the 100
feet it’s capable of seeing, said Richard Stickler, head of the
Mine Safety and Health Administration.
Rescuers saw a tool bag, a chain and other items that are normally seen underground in a mine, he said.
“We did not see any sign at all of any of the miners,” Stickler
said.
The men have not been heard from since the mine was struck
by an earthshaking collapse early last Monday. Rescue leaders
said they were proceeding as if the miners were alive.
Military reports five American deaths
in Iraq; Sunni politician claims
‘genocide campaign’
BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraq’s most senior Sunni politician
issued a desperate appeal Sunday for Arab nations to help stop
what he called an “unprecedented genocide campaign” by
Shiite militias armed, trained and controlled by Iran. The U.S.
military reported five American soldiers were killed, apparently lured into an al-Qaida trap.
Adnan al-Dulaimi said “Persians” and “Safawis,” Sunni
terms for Iranian Shiites, were on the brink of total control in
Baghdad and soon would threaten Sunni Arab regimes which
predominate in the Mideast.
“It is a war that has started in Baghdad and they will not stop
there but will expand it to all Arab lands,” al-Dulaimi wrote in
an impassioned e-mail to The Associated Press.
Sunni Arab regimes throughout the Middle East fear the
growing influence of Iran’s Shiite theocracy with radical groups
like Hezbollah and Hamas as well as the Syrian regime. Raising
the specter of Iranian power reaching the Arab doorstep, unlikely in the near-term, betrayed al-Dulaimi’s desperation.
But his fears of a Shiite takeover of Baghdad were not as farfetched. Mahdi Army militiamen have cleansed entire neighborhoods of Sunni residents and seized Sunni mosques. Day by
day, hundreds have been killed and thousands have fled their
homes, seeking safety in the shrinking number of majority
Sunni districts.
Italy probe unearths illegal arms deal
tied to Baghdad; U.S. disclaims role
PERUGIA, Italy (AP) — In a hidden corner of Rome’s busy
Fiumicino Airport, police dug quietly through a traveler’s
checked baggage, looking for smuggled drugs. What they found
instead was a catalog of weapons, a clue to something bigger.
Their discovery led anti-Mafia investigators down a monthslong trail of telephone and e-mail intercepts, into the midst of a
huge black-market transaction, as Iraqi and Italian partners haggled over shipping more than 100,000 Russian-made automatic
weapons into the bloodbath of Iraq.
As the secretive, $40 million deal neared completion, Italian
authorities moved in, making arrests and breaking it up. But key
questions remain unanswered.
For one thing, The Associated Press has learned that Iraqi
government officials were involved in the deal, apparently
without the knowledge of the U.S. Baghdad command — a
departure from the usual pattern of U.S.-overseen arms purchases.
NASA hopes laser inspection of shuttle’s
gash eliminates need for repairs
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Maneuvering a lasertipped boom, astronauts closely inspected a gash to shuttle
Endeavour’s belly Sunday, providing 3-D images that NASA
hopes will rule out the need for risky spacewalk repairs.
A chunk of insulating foam smacked the shuttle at liftoff last
week in an unbelievably unlucky ricochet off the fuel tank and
carved out the gouge.
The unevenly shaped gouge — which straddles two side-byside tiles and possibly the corner of a third — is 3 1/2 inches
long and just over 2 inches wide. The laser survey will determine its depth, crucial information for mission managers who
must decide whether to send two astronauts out to fix the difficult-to-reach area.
That decision is expected Monday. The likelihood of repairs
lessened after NASA discovered late Saturday that foam hit the
shuttle and not denser, more damaging ice as previously suspected.
Strained military widens door for
high school dropouts with new program
ANNVILLE, Pa. (AP) — Brittany Vojta survived boot camp.
It was high school she couldn’t make it through. Now, however, she has benefited from a program the National Guard started this year in Pennsylvania for privates who drop out of high
school after signing up.
In an old barracks at Fort Indiantown Gap, the 18-year-old
Cleveland woman and other dropouts spent three intensive
weeks in class this summer to help them pass their GEDs — so
they would meet the minimal educational requirement for staying in the Guard.
Straining to fill its ranks with the Iraq war in its fifth year, the
military is taking on an ever bigger role providing basic education to new recruits. The strategy is potentially risky for the military as it strives to maintain the quality of its force, but it’s giving dropouts like Vojta a second chance.
“Something happened in that soldier’s life that was bad. ...
We have the ability to stop another bad action from happening
— them getting discharged from the military,” said Sgt. 1st
Class John Walton, 32, who started the Pennsylvania program.
He says it is not about filling quotas but helping the troops.
While that program is aimed at keeping recruits in uniform,
the Army and Army National Guard also reach out to past
dropouts — some of them already years out of school — with a
promise of helping them get their GEDs if they enlist. More
than 13,000 recruits have earned GEDs through the program,
known as Education Plus, which started in 2005.
New Orleans homeowners angered by
fumbling demolition program
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — While Willie Ann Williams waited for federal aid to rebuild her home in the hurricane flooded
9th Ward, it was demolished — apparently by mistake.
There was nothing left but bare dirt.
A city official told her family the wood-frame house should
not have been torn down, but no one has told them why it happened or what happens next.
Williams had a building permit and wanted to fix up her
house once she received money from the federally funded,
state-run Road Home grant program. Now, with no house to
repair, she’s living in Franklinton, 70 miles away, and doesn’t
know whether she’ll be able to come back, said Williams’
daughter, Vonder McNeil.
Confusion reigns with the approach of an Aug. 29 deadline
— the second anniversary of Hurricane Katrina — for the city
to tell federal authorities which properties it wants demolished.
Homes that were only damaged have wound up on a list of
1,700 condemned properties. Some houses on the list have been
gutted for rebuilding or are in move-in condition.
In an interconnected world, American
homeowner woes can be felt from
Beijing to Rio de Janeiro
FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — The latest crisis in financial markets has once again served as a reminder of how vital
and interconnected the health of the U.S. economy is to that of
the rest of the world.
From New York to Frankfurt to Tokyo, markets were jolted
in the past week by fears that Americans are failing to keep up
with their mortgage payments and the ripple effects that could
have on the global banking and financial system.
The fallout could further depress U.S. housing prices by
making it harder to find buyers for a glut of foreclosed homes.
That, coupled with a drop in the value of investments, could
leave U.S. consumers feeling poorer and less likely to spend on
domestic and imported goods.
“The sharp falls in global stock markets obviously affect
consumer wealth, which again could dampen spending,” said
Howard Archer, chief British and European economist at
Global Insight.
The most immediate effect for the half of all American
households who own mutual funds and other individual
investors worldwide is a decline in the value of their investments, which may or may not be short-lived.
Merv Griffin, entertainer turned
businessman, dies at age 82
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Merv Griffin, the big band-era
crooner turned impresario who parlayed his “Jeopardy” and
“Wheel of Fortune” game shows into a multimillion-dollar
empire, died Sunday. He was 82.
Griffin died of prostate cancer, according to a statement from
his family that was released by Marcia Newberger, spokeswoman for The Griffin Group/Merv Griffin Entertainment.
From his beginning as a $100-a-week San Francisco radio
singer, Griffin moved on as vocalist for Freddy Martin’s band,
sometime film actor in films and TV game and talk show host,
and made Forbes’ list of richest Americans several times.
“The Merv Griffin Show” lasted more than 20 years, and
Griffin said his capacity to listen contributed to his success.
“If the host is sitting there thinking about his next joke, he
isn’t listening,” Griffin reasoned in a recent interview.

round. He entered the day with a 3-shot lead over Stephen Ames
as he goes for his 13th career major and first of the year. He is
12-and-0 when leading or tied for the lead entering the final
round of a major.
Woods’ front nine Saturday included three birdies, one that
brought a fist pump so emphatic he appeared to tweak his knee.
Woods made a 25-footer on the par-3 eighth hole that took him
to 9 under for the tournament. When he pumped his fist to celebrate, it looked as if his knee buckled.
If his knee was bothering him, however, Woods didn’t show
it during his steady walk down the ninth fairway.
The birdie on No. 8 gave Woods a brief five-shot lead over
Els, but Woods made bogey on No. 9 at the same time Els was
making birdie on the 10th hole and the lead went back to three.
Woods shot 1-under 34 on the front nine.
Category 4 Hurricane
Flossie, on a path toward
Hawaii, expected to weaken
By MARK NIESSE
Associated Press Writer
HONOLULU — Hurricane Flossie packed 135 mph wind as
it spun closer to Hawaii on Sunday, but forecasters predicted
the Category 4 storm would weaken before passing by the
islands later this week.
The hurricane was expected to pass about 70 miles south of
the island of Hawaii late Tuesday or early Wednesday, but by
then cooler water should weaken it to a Category 1 hurricane or
a strong tropical storm.
But even a slight change of course in the unpredictable storm
could bring it closer to land.
“Everyone in the Hawaiian islands is urged to continue monitoring the progress of Hurricane Flossie,” the Central Pacific
Hurricane Center said in a statement. “A northward shift in the
track could potentially bring hurricane conditions to the Big
Island.”
At 5 p.m. EDT, Flossie was 735 miles east-southeast of Hilo,
and had maximum sustained wind near 135 mph with gusts
reaching 161. It was traveling west at about 14 mph.
Emergency workers mobilized Sunday afternoon to prepare
for the potentially devastating hurricane, Big Island Mayor
Harry Kim said.
“You always prepare for the worst case scenario and hope for
the best,” Kim said.
The last time a hurricane hit Hawaii was in 1992, when Iniki
ravaged Kauai, killing six people and causing $2.5 billion in
damage.
Hurricane season runs from June 1 to Nov. 30. In May, forecasters said the Hawaiian islands and the rest of the central
Pacific faced a slightly below-average hurricane season, with
just two or three tropical cyclones expected because of lower
sea surface temperatures.

summer.
The Daily Journal
Each summer for the last nineteen
years, MCOE’s Community Service
Learning Project advertises, interviews and selects students to work in
their work/instructional program for
approximately six weeks during the
summer months.
According to Instructor Larry
Gluckman, “Students learn entry-level
job skills in painting and construction
and understand what it means to be a
part of a community at large.” In addi-
tion, students receive work experience
credit, earn minimum wage and have
the potential to earn $1,500 dollars
over the course of the program in
wages. This summer’s grant program
began on June 16 and ended on
August 2. Students spend eight hours
per day, four days per week in this
work study program and the instructional part of the program helps to
prepare students for the fall semester.
Fourteen students were enrolled in
this summer’s program and they have

This is Petey, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, and the
best dispositioned, least aggressive dog you will
ever meet. Petey's one goal in life is to play all
day. He loves people, but is absolutely wild
about other dogs. Add Petey to a group of other
dogs in our play yard and you have an instant
party. He makes sure everyone is having as
good a time as he is. Come check out Petey at
the Humane Society located at 9700 Uva Drive,
about a mile north of the Broiler Restaurant. The
hours are 1-5 Wednesday through Friday and 113 Saturday and Sunday. The number is 485-0123.
Angel is five-years-old, litter trained, and quite
good at providing purrs. She was an indoor/outdoor kitty previously, but her previous people
had a health issue which meant she couldn’t stay
at home. She’s been at the shelter since early
May. Want a sweet adult cat? Right now the adoption fee is reduced by 50 percent for all adult
dogs and cats due to over crowding. The shelter
is also starting to get a lot of kittens. To adopt a
pet, visit the Mendocino County Animal Shelter
on Plant Road. The hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, and on
Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. On Saturday,
the hours are 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and the shelter is
closed Sundays. View other available animals at

How to get troops home
To the Editor:
Want to get the U.S. troops out of Iraq
as quickly as possible?
Simply pass a law saying that ExxonMobil is forbidden to profit from Iraqi oil.
Bush will bring them home in a heartbeat.
Want to wake up American non-voters?
Require Senators and Representatives to
wear a sign around their neck to reveal
which corporation owns them.
Politics is easy.

To the Editor:
To all concerned: vendors, employees,

This letter is sent to inform everyone that
effective July 31, 2007, Pleasant Care
Corporation is seizing control of the
Pleasant Care of Ukiah against our wishes
and better judgment.
Pleasant Care Corporation will be in control and fully accountable for the operations
of the Pleasant Care-Ukiah.
In light of this unforeseen development,
all contracts signed by Watson Willow

as Pleasant Care resumed management of

Bye, bye America
To the Editor:
Bush is not Emperor! Bush is the
Fuhrer!
George W. Bush is our new American
Fuhrer.
I don't get why the radio talk show hosts
don't say it the way it is.
There was a bloodless fascist coup in
2000 and Congress is just playing politics.
The executive branch takes executive
privilege because they have total control
right now and the American people don't
know it as long as a disempowered
Congress continues to play politics and the
court system is stacked with neo-con ideologue judges.
Democracy in America is dead, and has
been dead for six years.
As Congress moves closer and closer to
exposing some of the corruption, as a fraction of the truth becomes more and more
exposed, the Bush administration rushes to
arm the entire world while they continue to
war profiteer. Once the American house of
cards collapses like the neglected bridge in
Minneapolis, the war profiteers will continue to profit on the chaos and military conflicts worldwide.
Bye, bye America.

A waste of money
To the Editor:
I am happy to see that Memo and Mark
Parker were not convicted of any charges
relating to their medical marijuana garden.
We all need to respond to jury summons so
innocent people don’t end up in jail.
Trying this case was a waste of money
from the beginning. Let’s spend that money
prosecuting violent criminals, or on treatment programs for meth addicts who sometimes steal money and stereo equipment

New store will
be good addition
To the Editor:
A convenience store is replacing the
Flour Mill on South State Street in Ukiah.
I am looking forward to the convenience
of picking some items up since I live in the
neighborhood, including food, deli, and
beverages including alcoholic beverages.
This store will fit into the neighborhood
with another store within a block already
selling alcoholic beverages, a bar next
door, and two restaurants across the street
that sell alcoholic beverages with their
meals.
I think the Ukiah Unified School District
set an example of the safety of the students
when they built a school within a block of
the businesses referred to above.
I feel it will be a good addition to our
neighborhood and improve the convenience of living in the neighborhood.

Serious questions
To the Editor:
I have grave concerns and serious questions about the development of ”wave
energy” on the coast from Fort Bragg to
Little River and Chevron’s application for
a permit as a first step towards controlling
this new and, thus far, undeveloped technology:
Will it disturb the marine environment?
Will there be noise associated with the
operation of the system, including motors.
If so, what is the decibel level? Will that
noise effect marine mammals or fish,
abalone, etc.?
Will there be water intake and discharge? If so, how will they deal with
entrapment of species?
Will it effect our harbors and bays?
What will it look like? From shore; from
the ocean? Scenic beauty is not a trivial
concern! Tourism is our basic economy on
the coast. And the destruction of beauty,
wherever it may occur, is a travesty.
Will it interfere with commercial fishing?
Will it interfere with recreational coastal
use (swimming, boating, surfing, sport
fishing)?
Will it require on-shore support systems?
What and how will the energy be distributed? What infrastructure will be needed to accomplish that?
Should we allow Chevron to own our
ocean? Shouldn’t the County and State be
in control? Are we “privatizing” our
ocean?
Will they explore for oil at the same
time?
Will they own everything out there?
Will they try to incorporate natural gas
or oil or mining?
What are the economics of this?
What is the permitting process and how
will we be involved?
Which agencies (state and federal -have jurisdiction?)

Impeach Cheney
To the Editor:
I strongly support HR333, to bring articles of Impeachment against Dick Cheney.
The destruction of our constitutional protections and rights that this man and his
cronies have managed to do in six years
must be stopped and redressed by the
impeachment process. It is beyond me why
Congress has yet to do this. The evidence
alone of the fabricated threat of Iraqi
weapons of mass destruction and the
manipulated intelligence that deceived us
into the war is enough to warrant this
action. We now also suspect many other
lies, deceits and power grabs that will be
uncovered if we can ever get people in the
administration to show-up when subpoenaed and tell the truth to Congress!

Seemingly hell-bent on deregulating everything
they can, apparently wanting to abdicate as many of
their established responsibilities as possible, California's five Public Utilities Commission members voted
last August to let telephone rates float free.
Their reasoning? Competition would bring prices
far lower than regulation ever could. Their evidence
for this belief about regional monopolies like AT&T
and Verizon, which together control 93 percent of this
state's telephone lines? None. Just theory.
It's the same reasoning the PUC used when voting
last spring to investigate whether commissioners can
try again to deregulate electricity prices, despite a 2001
state law that permits no such action until 2016 at the
earliest, and then only at the behest of the Legislature.
The telephone action these commissioners took was
immediately lauded by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger,
who appointed them to fixed terms of five years each.
Schwarzenegger likes to style himself "the people's
governor," but on other occasions allows that his prime
responsibility is to keep businesses healthy.
This action is certainly accomplishing that for
AT&T and Verizon.
There was nothing wrong with the profits of either
prior to the deregulation of one year ago. But both have
reported major profit increases this summer, with their
new California lucre a big part of that picture.
AT&T, for instance, has raised the price of Caller ID
from $7.99 per month to $9. Automatic rejection of
unidentified callers now costs $4 a month, up $1.01.
Call waiting ID, three-way calling, call forwarding and
other common services all are up by the same amount.
Meanwhile, packages of three or six of these features
are up by only $1 per month. That pressures customers
to add services they may not need, but saves the company money on billing and other internal expenses. It
adds up to hundreds of millions of dollars in new revenues.
Verizon has also raised prices. Inside wire maintenance, for instance, is up $1.80 per month from a year
ago. Basic monthly residential and business rates have
also climbed.
Altogether, the picture puts the lie to the assumption
that competition inevitably drives prices down. It has
not, in part because Verizon and At&T rarely try to
compete against each other in the land line area.
This runs contrary to what was promised before the
PUC gave up regulating telephone prices. AT&T and
Verizon both argued then that competition from cable
TV, cellphones and Internet calling services like Vonage would force their prices down.
Now they sing a different tune. "Prices were kept
artificially low for years," Verizon spokesman
Jonathan Davies told one reporter. "The fact is, almost
all of these charges have not been looked at in 20
years," an AT&T spokesman told the same reporter.
Now fast forward to the possibility of electric rate
deregulation. The last time it was tried, utter disaster
followed, with about $9 billion stolen from California
consumers via illegal market manipulation schemes
that have placed several former generating company
officials in prison.
But the public utilities commissioners and their
sponsor, Schwarzenegger, want exactly the kind of
deregulation scheme for electricity they have already
given the phone companies.
They would like every household and business
enabled to buy power directly from generators. Never
mind the strong likelihood that this would let large
users like oil refineries and factories buy at bulk rates,
leaving higher-priced power for everyone else.
Chances are under any such scheme, the generators
would start out making loss-leading cheap-power
offers and try to lure customers from existing utilities
companies like PG&E, Southern California Edison and
San Diego Gas & Electric Co.
But once they've established themselves, they'd be
free to raise rates as much as they like. And if the utilities should reduce their staff and capacity because their
customer base is raided by outside generating companies, smaller customers would find it hard ever to go
back to their former provider.
The bottom line: Electric customers (generally the
same people as phone customers) should thank their
lucky stars for that crisis-era anti-deregulation law the
PUC is now trying to circumvent. For without it,
chances are a new system based on the same old fallacies about competition producing lower prices would
already be in place.
It hasn't worked in telephones. It didn't work the last
time it was tried in electricity and there's still no evidence it ever can work in anybody's favor except
predatory companies that want to bulk up profits at the
expense of hapless customers.

Staples to hold Teacher
Appreciation Day on Aug. 18
Staples wants to make it easy for teachers to
have the tools they need to do their job by hosting
a Teacher Appreciation Day at locations across the
country. Each year, teachers spend an average of
$475 of their own money on classroom materials
and supplies, according to a report, “Teacher buying behavior 2006-2007”, from Quality Education
Data, Inc.
“Tighter budgets mean teachers are spending
more of their own money to keep their classrooms
stocked,” said Shira Goodman, executive vice
president of marketing for Staples. “In an effort to
make starting the new school year easy for teachers, Staples stores are kicking off the back-toschool season with a Teacher Appreciation Day
and giving educators tools to keep them organized. Staples is pleased to dedicate a day solely
for educators, and it’s our way of letting them
know how much they are valued.”
The first 200 teachers visiting Staples Stores on
Teacher Appreciation Day, Saturday August 18,
from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., will receive a Staples polybinder that will include a legal pad, paper clips,
highlighters, and index flags, among other backto-school accessories and discount coupons.
Teachers will also have the opportunity to preview
new products, learn more about the Staples Copy

Demand soars for joint health miracle
discovered in Japan’s ‘feel good village’
Special report brings national attention to an amazing molecule now
reproduced in breakthrough joint pill available in U.S. drugstores
By G. W. NAPIER
UNIVERSAL MEDIA SYNDICATE
So, what would it be like getting older but
feeling good?
Believe it or not there are people living this
way and a major network news crew found
them.
They live in a small village called Yuzurihara
and seem to defy the laws of aging with their
active lifestyle.
Doctors and scientists have discovered that
their secret to an active lifestyle is a diet that
increases their body’s production of an amazing molecule called Hyaluronate.
Nobody can put it in a pill to make people live
longer. But, scientists at PatentHEALTH, an
innovative U.S. health care company, have successfully added this amazing molecule to a ‘feel
good’ joint pill called Trigosamine®.
This remarkable oral tablet is so impressive
because it contains Hyaluronate which has the
ability to retain fluid up to 1000 times its own
weight. It has the potential to increase lubrication in the joints allowing them to move with
ease.*
“Using Trigosamine is like taking a can
of oil and applying it directly to your
joints,” said Dr. Joseph Dietz, Director of
Health Science, Research and Development
for PatentHEALTH.1*
And thanks to the luck-of-the-draw, readers of this newspaper are among those who
can get it right now. That’s because this area
has already been assigned a toll-free Regional
Health Hotline. But the catch is the hotline is
set to close in just 72 hours.
“We recommend that those living in this area
call now to get their share,” said Valerie Moore,
Director of the Regional Health Hotline.
“Right now, we’re shipping out everything
we have on a first-come-first-served basis. We
may not be able to meet everyone’s demands as
word continues to spread across the country,”
she said.
Trigosamine’s key ingredient is present in
‘human joint oil’, which is medically known as
synovial fluid.
This fluid reduces friction in the joints allowing for effortless motion. It not only lubricates
the joints but it also acts as a comfortable shock
absorber.
“Synovial fluid is part of what allows young
people to be highly active without having sore
joints. But, as the body ages the production
of synovial fluid declines which can force the
joints to grind together resulting in nagging
discomfort,” Dr. Dietz said.
The Trigosamine supplement (pronounced
Tri-go-sa-mean) combines Hyaluronate with the
essential blend of glucosamine and chondroitin.
This blend is available without a prescription in
once daily tablets.
It has been clinically shown that this essential dose of glucosamine and chondroitin
helps to build healthy cartilage in the joints
and allows for increased flexibility and range
of motion.*
This impressive combination works to alleviate uncomfortable joint dysfunction by promoting elasticity, allowing joints to move freely and
with greater flexibility.*
A clinical study conducted by the United
States government found that glucosamine
and chondroitin, similar to those present in
Trigosamine, had a remarkable 79.2% effective rate for those with moderate to severe
joint discomfort.2*
It was also announced at an American
College of Rheumatology meeting that the
combination of glucosamine and chondroitin
showed promise among persons with moderate to severe discomfort.2
“Even though there is no pill that can make
you live longer, the clinical trials have been consistent. The essential blend like the one present in Trigosamine has been proven safe and
is extremely effective for joint health,” said Dr.
Dietz.*
The tough part now is how to get it.
“Everybody wants it,” said Moore.
“The first drugstores to get this formula
couldn’t keep it on the shelves,” she said.
That makes the next 72 hours so critical for
everyone living in the local area. Those who get
through to the Regional Health Hotline before
the deadline will get the Trigosamine supplement sent directly to their homes.
Otherwise, those who miss the deadline and
everybody else living in other parts of the country may be hard pressed to get it.
So, even with the clock ticking local readers still have the advantage of being among
those who can get their hands on this medical
breakthrough. N
Here’s how to get it
Until all pharmacies are fully stocked this
national distribution of Trigosamine is being
conducted on a state-by-state basis. Those living
in the states listed below with a star ( next to

home by calling The Regional Health Hotline now.

N STILL ACTIVE AT 86 YEARS OLD: Yuda Miya, 86, who lives in the region near the village of Yuzurihara, just
loves to garden and she does it everyday. Researchers believe a special diet increases the body’s production of a
molecule called Hyaluronate to keep people in Yuzurihara active. Although no pill can promise a longer lifespan,
an over-the-counter joint supplement has developed a proprietary formula featuring Hyaluronate. This pill, called
Trigosamine, will be available in many U.S. drugstores.
N HEALTHY JOINTS: Diagnostic x-rays reveal human joints that have the proper amounts of synovial fluid
to lubricate the joints and act as a comfortable shock absorber. The plentiful fluid allows for comfortable and
effortless motion. Trigosamine’s key ingredient, Hyaluronate is present in synovial fluid.

Getting older shouldn’t mean getting heavier
Local readers get free supply of diet capsule that increases metabolism, burns more calories
UNIVERSAL MEDIA SYNDICATE
UMS – Don’t let it happen to
you.
Getting older doesn’t have to
mean gaining weight.
But millions of people are letting it happen to them, not realizing that gaining weight can
cause problems like joint pain
and lack of energy.
The really sad thing is it
doesn’t have to be that way.
There’s a diet capsule that can
increase metabolism and burn
more calories.*1
Local readers can be among
the first to get a free month’s
supply of this incredible diet
capsule called PatentLEAN; all
they have to do is cover the
cost of the second month plus
shipping.
PatentLEAN’s active ingredient has 4 U.S. patents pertaining to weight loss and is backed
by clinical science.
As we age, our metabolism
slows down causing the body to
burn fewer calories leading to
weight gain.
A clinical study has shown
that PatentLEAN can increase
a person’s resting metabolism.
Participants in this clinical
study had a metabolic rate that
was significantly higher than
participants who just tried a
reduced calorie diet.1
A higher metabolism means
the body is burning more calo-
ries. Weight loss can’t happen
until more calories are burned.
For people who can’t exercise
or have limited physical activity
but need to lose weight, this capsule could change their lives.
“People that take PatentLEAN can burn more calories
while they are watching TV,
reading a book or even sleeping.
And burning more calories over
time leads to weight loss,” said
Dr. Joseph Dietz,2 Director of
Health Science, Research & Development of PatentHEALTH,
the company that distributes
PatentLEAN.
The company has set up a
National Order Hotline to take the
calls from consumers who want
the free month’s supply; all they
have to do is cover the cost of the
second month plus shipping.
“All people have to do is call
1-800-243-1659 and ask for
Dept. H6734,” said Matthew
Woods, a spokesperson for
PatentHEALTH.
“But those interested better
call ASAP … there is a limited
supply of free product.”
That’s why consumers must
call now or run the risk of missing the opportunity to get a free
month’s supply.
For those people that want
PatentLEAN right now, it has
been reported that Rite Aid
drug stores still have a supply
in stock. N
What people are saying …
“I’m 66 years old and only 5 feet tall so it’s
hard for me to lose weight. I used to be able
to lose weight by cutting down to fruits and
vegetables. Although I ate sensibly, I was still
gaining weight.
Katheryn Haddad
66 years old
Then I saw an ad for PatentLEAN in the newsOntario, Canada
paper and decided to try it out of desperation.
After I started taking PatentLEAN I began to lose weight. In fact,
I started eating like I always did and I lost 20 lbs. 3 This is a great
product for seniors … it really works.”
How to get the free supply
Call 1-800-243-1659 ask for Dept. H6734
1. See Zenk, J.L. FASEB J 2004: Abstract EB239. Clinical study showed a significant increase in Resting Metabolic Rate
for participants using PatentLEAN in conjunction with diet as compared to those using diet only. 2. Dr. Dietz currently
conducts full-time diet and weight loss research for PatentHEALTH, LLC as Director of Health Science, Research
and Development. 3. Included a sensible diet and exercise that included swimming everyday for at least 30 minutes.

SoCal man convicted for flashing fake assembly badge
The Associated Press
TORRANCE — A Hawthorne man
accused of showing a police officer an
authentic-looking badge he said was
given to him by a state Assemblyman was
convicted of impersonating a government
official and other charges.
Prosecutors said Pirikana Johnson, 28,
showed the metal badge, which bore his
name and the word “commissioner,” to a
Redondo Beach police officer who
stopped him on two separate occasions in
early 2006.
Johnson said during the trial that he
received the badge from Mervyn
Fair
whipped the audience back in
to a frenzy with crowdfavorites like, ‘Stand by me,’
‘Angel’ and ‘Almost Home.’
Hannah Foster, winner of
the contest, showcased her
natural performing talent as
she danced her way back and
forth across the stage while
performing ‘Why haven’t I
heard from you?’ Foster’s
Art
den, drew no response at all.
In answer to a newspaper
inquiry to the planning department, Senior Planner Miller
wrote in an email, "I did not
have any prior knowledge of
this particular structure/sign,
nor did we authorize its construction in any manner."
Miller added, "Regardless
of any conversation we may
have had in the past, I would
be very surprised if recalling
our conversation would lead
one to believe that this particular type of thing could be
built
without
MHRB
approval.
"Regarding is it a sign,'I
would agree with Neal's
[Leitner] assessment that it is
clearly a sign as defined by
code."
The resulting, mostly civil,
debate resulted as an impasse
Monday. MHRB Chairman
Harold Hauck offered, and
Templer accepted, a onemonth postponement. The art
center, the community and the
MHRB will revisit the permit
at the beginning of the Sept.
10 meeting.
Mendocino Town
Zoning Code
The Mendocino Town
Zoning Code, adopted in
1995, is regulated by the
county Board of Supervisors
and enforced for them by the
department of planning and
building services. The MHRB
is the permitting agency for
the historic preservation district.
Chapter 20.760: Historical
Preservation for the Town of
Mendocino defines what work
requires MHRB approval in
Historic Zone A, which is pri-
Dymally, D-Compton. Dymally denied
during the hearing that he had any connection to the 80 honorary badges that his
office ordered. He said he didn’t know
why Johnson had one.
Johnson’s attorney, Stephen King, told
the jury during closing arguments Friday
that the allegations of badge misuse came
from a single source, a police officer
whom he attempted to cast as an unreliable witness.
The Torrance Superior Court jury
returned the guilty verdicts against
Johnson after deliberating for about two
hours.
He was convicted of two misdemeanor
counts each of falsely impersonating a
government official or employee,
exhibiting a fake badge to deceive and
misusing the seal of the state Assembly.
He was also found guilty of driving
without a license and driving with a
blood-alcohol content over the state’s
legal limit.
He was taken into custody in lieu of
$70,000 bail and is scheduled to return to
court Friday, when he could be sentenced
to jail time, prosecutors said.

governing documents.
Artistic expression
A supporting contingency
of art center staff, board members and some individuals
from the art community
attended Monday's MHRB
meeting. Statements included
perceived censorship claims
against the board and
encroachments on artistic creativity.
Terry Lyon, a board member and artist, said, "I'm dismayed. It's denaturing to have
to have a permit." Ceramist
Margaret Paul said, "When
government starts getting
involved in decision-making
in the arts ... It is really not
your turf. You're really threatening our very existence."
Another individual said,
"It's ridiculous to call a work
of art a sign. This is not a sign
as a sign." Someone else said,
"You need to look at MAC as
a piece of art."
Lilliana Cunha, president
of the art center board of
directors, said, "You're beginning to cross over the thin line
of censorship. I hope you'll
concern yourselves with that."
4-H PROFILE
Sierra Nevada brewery
VP still missing in Chico
The Associated Press
CHICO — Searchers combing the banks of the Sacramento
River have come up empty in their hunt for a Sierra Nevada
Brewing Co. executive missing since he failed to show up at
work last week
An abandoned Toyota Prius belonging to Steve Harrison, 54,
was discovered Tuesday morning along a section of the river
west of Chico. Harrison, vice president of sales at the pioneering microbrewery, was last seen the previous night at work,
authorities said.
Friends and co-workers joined Butte County search and rescue teams Saturday to look for Harrison. Several groups of
tracking dogs have led searchers to the same area along the
river near where Harrison’s car was found, but crews scanning
the river with an underwater camera have turned up nothing.
“We just couldn’t find him,” Butte County Search and
Rescue Capt. Mike Larish said Saturday.
Founded in 1979, the Chico-based beer maker grew from a
small home-based operation to a brewery capable of producing
nearly 800,000 barrels of beer a year.

Wendy Roberts is a neighbor of the art center. Roberts
could not be present, but she
submitted a letter supporting
MAC. The letter states, "The
art center has separate and distinct qualities that have been
recognized as contributing to
the character of the town.
Displaying art on the grounds
is central to the art center's
mission, and while the mosaic
in question also serves to
identify the facility, it is most
certainly art."
Counter comments
Ed O'Brien had a lot to say.
When he was finished there
were some who quickly dittoed his words.
O'Brien, owner of Compass
Rose in Mendocino and a former MHRB member, said
fairness and the lack of a double standard "are important to
me."
"I do not agree that they
can put it anywhere [they
want] on their property," he
said, adding that he felt the
position that the art center can
"play by different rules isn't
helpful to their organization.
"It just doesn't fly,. It doesn't serve the town well —
we're special; you're not.
[They've] crossed the line."
MHRB issues
Member Michael St. John
suggested the board review
the matter through these questions: Does the MHRB have
jurisdiction, and should art
and should MAC be subject to
a different standards?
The board concluded that
its jurisdiction is without
question and since they are
chartered to make decisions
based on the current zoning
code, town plan, and historic
review guidelines, their mandate is clear on this matter.

Jonny Clark is one of 15

PIRATES 5 | GIANTS 0
Gorzelanny gets first career shutout win over Giants
Zito booed as he
walked first three
batters of the
Pirates line-up
By GREG BEACHAM
AP Sports Writer
SAN FRANCISCO — Tom
Gorzelanny knew the Pirates
had to conserve energy and
their bullpen, what with a doubleheader against the Giants
scheduled back in Pittsburgh
just 26 hours after Sunday’s
first pitch in San Francisco.
So Gorzelanny obliged
with the best start of his career
— and he gave the Giants’ hitters plenty of rest as well.
Gorzelanny allowed five
hits in his first career shutout,
and the Pirates finished off
their first road sweep since
early April with a 5-0 victory
Sunday.
Josh Phelps hit a two-run
homer off Barry Zito and a
two-run triple for the Pirates,
who won their sixth straight
game at San Francisco’s
waterfront ballpark. It was
easy with another quality start
from Gorzelanny (11-6), the
second-year pro who finished
his first complete game by
retiring the Giants’ final 17
batters.
“I didn’t automatically
think I was going to have a
good day, but it does feel
good, and it’s a long time
coming,” said Gorzelanny,
who allowed only one San
Francisco runner to reach
third base in his second
straight strong start after a 13day layoff with a sore shoulder.
The left-hander never faced
much trouble from Barry
Bonds and the Giants’ punchless lineup. Gorzelanny, who
got his first career victory
against the Giants last season,
finished strong with a perfect
ninth, getting Bonds to pop up
with one out.
“What I saw today was
probably the best he’s
thrown,” Pittsburgh manager
Jim Tracy said. “There was no
point where he wavered at all.
He pounded the strike zone
with all his strikes.”
Bonds went 1-for-3 with a
walk against his former team
to finish the week in which he
became baseball’s career
homer runs leader.
Bonds then hit his 758th
shot Friday night, but couldn’t
manage
much
against
Gorzelanny.
“I felt like going after him
would be a good idea today,”
Gorzelanny said.
The game began an hour
earlier than the usual Sunday
start in San Francisco so both
clubs would have extra time to
get back to Pittsburgh for a
makeup of two rainouts in
mid-April.
The early alarm didn’t help
the Giants, who managed just
one extra-base hit against
Gorzelanny while losing their
fourth straight and their eighth
in 10 games — and the slumping club can look forward to
18 games over the next 17
days.
Giants manager Bruce
Bochy said Bonds probably
won’t start either game in
Pittsburgh, though the Pirates
have planned a tribute to their
former leadoff hitter.
“I think we know what’s
ahead of us, but we can’t
dwell on that,” said Zito, who
has won just two of his last 13
starts. “It’s going to be tough
tomorrow for our bullpen, and
with no days off in the next
couple of weeks, it’ll be

walking the bases loaded in the first inning of a Major
League Baseball game against the Pittsburgh Pirates,
yesterday at AT&T Park. The Pirates won, 5-0.
tough.”
Pittsburgh and the Giants
have the NL’s two worst
records, but the Pirates seem
more comfortable in San
Francisco than their hosts.
Pittsburgh is 11-2 in its last 13
games in San Francisco, with
20 homers and a team ERA
under 2.70.
Phelps has been a .300 hitter since the Pirates claimed
him off waivers from the
Yankees in late June, but the
first baseman hadn’t started
since July 27 — and he hadn’t
shown much power before his
two impressive shots against
the Giants.
His two-run homer in the
sixth exited one of the deepest
parts of center field, and his
triple in the seventh barely
missed the stands.
“It’s been a couple of
weeks, so to be able to go in
and contribute again, it’s
great,” Phelps said. “It’s not
easy to go in there after a long
layoff, but you’ve got to have
the mental fortitude to compete. (Zito) was about what I
expected. It was a lot of high
fastballs, and I was able to
handle one of them.”
Zito (8-11) was booed
when he walked the first three
batters he faced in his first
career start against Pittsburgh,
the only major league club he
had never met. The struggling
left-hander escaped that jam,
but yielded Cesar Izturis’ RBI
single in the second before
settling down to retire the next
11 batters.
Jason Bay’s single and
Phelps’ homer ended Zito’s
string, and the Giants’ $126
million starter left after allowing six hits and striking out
four over six innings.
“He’s a tough kid, but he
expects a lot out of himself,”
Bochy said. “I’m sure he’s
taken some of his rough outings hard. With a (big) contract, sometimes that happens.
He wants to do well in front of
his home fans.”
Notes: New Jersey Nets
Guard Jason Kidd, a Bay Area
native, attended the game.
Bonds, baseball’s career
leader in intentional walks,
got his first intentional pass in
10 days in the third inning.

Ivanovic defeats Petrova in straight sets for Carson title
Serbian pals face off in
two well-played sets
By BETH HARRIS
AP Sports Writer
CARSON — A couple of childhood
friends gave Serbia one of its best
sporting days Sunday.
Ana Ivanovic hit 31 winners,
including 23 off her powerful forehand, and beat Nadia Petrova 7-5, 6-4
to win the East West Bank Classic.
Ivanovic completed a big day for
the Eastern European country by winning her second tournament of the
year. Earlier, countryman Novak
Djokovic upset world No. 1 Roger
Federer in three sets to win the Rogers
Cup title in Montreal.
“I saw some of his match,” she said.
“He played amazing tennis, so I was
motivated to do the same thing. That’s
an amazing day for us.”
Djokovic became the first player
since Boris Becker in 1994 at
Stockholm to defeat the top three
ranked players at an ATP event.
Besides Federer, he took out Andy
Roddick in the quarterfinals and
Rafael Nadal in the semifinals.
“It’s unbelievable for a small country without such big tennis tradition,”
he said. “Everybody’s wondering
themselves how it happened. Probably
it’s in our water or something. It’s
great to see.”
Ivanovic and Djokovic have been
friends for about 14 years. They met as
4-year-olds at his parents’ mountaintop restaurant in Belgrade. Growing
up, they practiced together and played
hide and seek.
“I hated when I had to search for
him because I was scared,” she said.
“We never dreamed we could play
Grand Slams at the same level. It’s
nice to know someone for so long. I
love spending time with him.”
That includes sharing dinner when
their tournament paths cross, but there
is no romance going on.
“We are really good friends, nothing more than that,” she said.
A year ago, Ivanovic was ranked
19th. On Monday, she is projected to
rise one spot to a career-high fourth in
the WTA Tour rankings. In between,
the 19-year-old was runner-up at the
French Open and a semifinalist at
Wimbledon this year.
“This is probably the best time of
my career,” she said.
Ivanovic closed out the 1 1/2-hour
match by serving a love game, punctuated by an ace into the outside corner
of the service box, one of four she had.
The third seed connected on 70 percent of her first serves and was broken
just once after saving four break points
in her first service game of the match.
She took the first set with a crosscourt forehand winner that was out of
Petrova’s reach.
“It’s very hard to be a set down,”
the fourth-seeded Petrova said. “You
have to start all over again.”
Ivanovic led 4-2 in the second set
before Petrova’s forehand volley winner left the Russian trailing 5-4.
Petrova hit 19 winners in the match,
which were offset by 22 unforced
errors.
Ivanovic dropped one set in five
matches in Carson, against Serb rival
Jelena Jankovic in the semifinals. She
earned $88,260 for the victory.
Petrova’s coach had advised the 25year-old Russian to pull Ivanovic wide
by hitting to her backhand, making it
harder for the Serb to hit her forehand
on the run.
It didn’t work.
“She just rips it off without even
thinking,” Petrova said. “Sometimes I
think she didn’t even know where it
was going. It’s the best forehand by far
on tour.”
Petrova advanced to the final when
top-seeded Maria Sharapova defaulted
because of a lower left leg strain
Saturday night. Petrova, ranked ninth
in the world, hasn’t won a title since
February.

Nolan irked by Niners’ late start against Broncos
By GREG BEACHAM
AP Sports Writer
SAN FRANCISCO —
Eight days after Pittsburgh
and New Orleans opened the
NFL exhibition season, the
Broncos and the 49ers finally
get to play their own opener
on Monday night.
San Francisco coach Mike
Nolan sees more than a funny
scheduling quirk when the
Steelers and Saints have
played two preseason games
before the 49ers even get on
the field.
Nolan says the rule prohibiting teams from opening
training camp until 15 days
before their preseason opener
puts the Niners and Denver in
a hole well before the regular
season even begins.
“It’s
a
disadvantage,
because Denver and the 49ers
were the latest two teams to
(get into camp),” Nolan said.
“We’re not getting ready for
the preseason. We’re getting
ready for the season, so to say
you get less practices going
into the season because your
preseason game is (last), that’s
kind of ridiculous.”
Nolan discussed the problem with Broncos coach Mike
Shanahan right after the
schedule was announced, but
the coaches decided they
couldn’t do anything about it
this season. The 49ers
explored the possibility of
holding a scrimmage against
Denver or the Oakland
Raiders to ease the transition,
but couldn’t make it work.
Just in case they ever get
stuck in this jam in the future,
the 49ers hope to lobby the
league and the players’ union
for a rule allowing every team
to start camp on the same day.
“Let’s all start at the same
time,” Nolan said. “I don’t
care if you play in the Hall of
Fame game or not.”
When they finally get to
Candlestick Park, the Broncos
will have the chance for a
measure of empty, superficial
revenge against the team that
kept them out of the playoffs
last season. San Francisco finished its fourth straight losing
season with an improbable 2623 overtime victory in Denver
on New Year’s Eve.
“Actually, I’m looking forward to it a lot, because that’s
the team we lost to,” Broncos
defensive end Kenard Lang
said. “It should be human

nature for us to go in there and
rectify the problem. ... The
main thing is to get a good
winning taste in your mouth
going into the season.”
The 49ers’ first-team
offense will be in the game for
15 plays or the entire first
quarter, whichever comes
first.
Alex Smith and new
receivers Darrell Jackson and
Ashley Lelie — who left
Denver one year ago after a
bitter holdout — will debut
without NFC rushing champion Frank Gore, who will miss
the Niners’ first three exhibition games with a broken
hand.
Denver has its own injury
problems at receiver and
along the offensive line, but
Shanahan isn’t worried about
the top end of his roster, particularly this early in camp.
“We don’t even pay much
attention to the first preseason
game,” Shanahan said. “I hate
to say that, but it’s the truth. ...
We’ll try to run our base
offense and our base defense.
We don’t get too complicated.
We want to see our players
perform. This is not a game
plan-type of game.”
The 49ers will hold a
moment of silence before the
game for Bill Walsh, their
Hall of Fame coach who died
July 30 of leukemia.
Shanahan is among the most
successful coaching heirs to
Walsh’s legacy, winning two
Super Bowls and establishing
a consistent winner over his
13 seasons in Denver.
With San Francisco’s starting lineup already mostly set,
the most intriguing audition
could be for the job as Gore’s
top
backup.
Michael
Robinson, the former Penn
State quarterback, is battling
veteran Maurice Hicks for
what might be only one roster
spot behind the workhorse Pro
Bowl starter.
“You want to do well in the
preseason games, but getting
it right every day in practice is
just as important,” said
Robinson, who played sparingly on offense as a rookie
last season.
Coaches and veterans
caught up in the minor position skirmishes that dominate
the preseason sometimes forget one of the most important
parts of August: The chance
for rookies and first-year players to wear NFL uniforms for
the first time.
That moment hasn’t been
lost on 49ers linebacker
Patrick Willis, the 11th overall
pick.
The Mississippi product
invited his guardians out to
San Francisco for his debut
under
the
lights
at
Candlestick, where he’ll see
time with the first-team
defense and plenty of additional snaps with the backups.
“It’s going to be great,”
Willis said. “The most important thing is just putting on
that uniform for the first time.
Can’t wait.”

Tiger claims PGA win for his 13th career major
Woods edges
Austin with a
two-shot victory
By DOUG FERGUSON
AP Golf Writer
TULSA, Okla. — A season
of first-time major winners
ended with a familiar champion — Tiger Woods, who
seems to win them all.
Challenged only briefly
Sunday along the back nine of
steamy Southern Hills, Woods
captured
the
PGA
Championship to win at least
one major for the third straight
season and run his career total
to 13 as he moves closer to the
standard set by Jack Nicklaus.
Woods closed with a 1under 69 for a two-shot victory over Woody Austin, a gritty
journeyman whose consolation prize was earning a spot
on the U.S. team for the
Presidents Cup.
Ernie Els also made a brief
run at Woods, but the ending
was all too familiar.
The only thing different
about this title was how it
ended. Woods became the first
major champion in seven tries
to make a par on the 72nd hole
at Southern Hills. And it was
his first major as a father,
walking into the scoring room
with wife Elin holding their 2month-old daughter, Sam
Alexis.
Naturally, the kid was
dressed in red.
“That’s a feeling I’ve never
experienced before,” Woods
said. “To have her here, it
brings chills to me. I was surprised she was out here, to see
her and Elin there. It’s just so
cool.”
Woods, who has never lost
a tournament when leading by
more than one going into the
last round, stretched his threeshot lead to five with back-toback birdies that appeared to
siphon all the drama out of the
final major of the year. Austin
made a surprising charge,
however, and Woods threeputted for bogey on the 14th
that dropped his lead to one.
That was as close as it got.
Woods hit two perfect shots
on the 15th and holed a 10footer for birdie, pointing to
the cup after it fell.
“Winning becomes almost
a habit,” Els said after his 66.
“Look at Tiger.”
Woods, who finished at 8under 272, now has more
majors than the rest of the top
10 in the world combined. At
age 31, he is well ahead of the
pace Nicklaus set when he
won his record 18 professional majors. Nicklaus was 35
when he won his 13th.
Austin closed with a 67 and
earned plenty of crowd support as the working class hero.
Austin, a 43-year-old former bank teller playing in
only his 15th major, had a 12foot birdie putt on the 15th
hole that would have tied him
for the lead, but it slid by on
the left. He never seriously
threatened birdie the rest of
the way in closing with a 67.
The highlight was a 60-foot
chip-in for birdie on the 12th,
with Austin tugging on his ear
to get the crowd to pump it up.
“I was trying to get them to
go crazy for someone else, so
he’d know there’s someone
else out here,” Austin said.
“There’s no roar like his. It
was nice to hear the loudest
one I’ve ever heard for me.”
But it wasn’t enough.
After his three-putt bogey
on the 14th, Woods hit every
fairway and every green the
rest of the way. Woods’ final
stroke was a 3-foot par on the
18th hole, and he took his
time. In the last major at
Southern Hills, Retief Goosen
three-putted from 12 feet that
forced him to win the U.S.
Open the following day in a
playoff.
Woods removed the ball

from the cup and stuck it in
his pocket, then removed his
cap and thrust both arms in the
air as sweat poured down his
face from a fourth straight day
with temperatures topping
100.
He won for the fifth time
this year — no one else has
won more than twice — and
for the second straight week,
coming off an eight-shot victory in the Bridgestone
Invitational at Firestone.
Stephen Ames, who played
in the final group with Woods,
made bogey on the first two
holes and wound up with a 76.
Arron Oberholser settled
down after a bogey-bogey
start for a 69 that gave him a
tie for fourth at 1-under 279
and secured a spot in the
Masters next year. John
Senden shot 71 and also finished at 279.
Els said if had been watching from home, he would have
bet the house on Woods winning his 13th major. Inside the
ropes, the Big Easy played as
though he had an ace up his
sleeve. Birdies on two of the
first five holes at least got his
name on the leaderboard, and
Els kept plugging away with
another birdie on the eighth
that briefly drew him to within two shots.
Woods was two groups
behind, and after a sluggish
start, he began to separate
himself from his challengers.
He followed a 5-foot birdie on
the seventh with a 25-foot
birdie putt from just off the
green at the par-5 eighth.
Woods backpedaled as the
ball drew near the hole, then
slammed his fist in celebration.
But his knee buckled
slightly on the slope, and he
appeared to wince. His walk
was steady down the ninth
fairway, but that five-shot lead
was anything but that.
Els continued to gamble,
waiting for the 10th green to
clear and belting driver on the
366-yard dogleg to just left of
the green, leaving him a simple up-and-down for birdie.
And even though he missed a
6-foot birdie on the 11th and
took bogey on the 12th with
an approach into the back
bunker, the South African didn’t back down.
He two-putted for birdie on
the 13th, then hit his tee shot
on the 14th about 4 feet
behind the hole for another
birdie to reach 6 under, only
two shots behind. And when
Woods three-putted the 14th,
the lead was a single shot.
“I felt like, you know, I got
myself into this mess, now
I’ve got to go earn my way out
of it,” Woods said. “I did some
serious yelling at myself
going to the 15th tee.”
The bigger threat turned
out to be Austin.
Wearing the same shirt he
had on when he closed with a
62 to win in Memphis, he ran
off three straight birdies starting at No. 11, the most unlikely coming at No. 12 when he
chipped in from the front of
the green to a back pin.
The cheers died in the final
hour and the outcome was
inevitable.
Until proven otherwise,
Woods simply doesn’t lose
when he has the lead going
into the final round. He took
control of this tournament
with his record-tying 63 in the
second round, and became the
fifth player to shoot 63 in a
major and go on to win.

DETROIT — Magglio Ordonez
was simply trying to get an oppositefield hit when he led off the second
inning.
By the time the inning was over,
Ordonez had two homers and a place
alongside Al Kaline in Detroit Tigers
lore.
Ordonez hit two homers in an eightrun second and Detroit beat the
Oakland Athletics 11-6 Sunday to win
consecutive games for only the second
time since mid-July.
“It’s an honor to be the second one
to do it in Detroit history. It’s really
nice,” the soft-spoken slugger said.
“When you hit two home runs in a
game, it’s huge. When you do it in one
inning, it’s bigger.”
Ordonez also surpassed 100 RBIs
for the second straight season, helping
the inconsistent Tigers move back into
first place in the AL Central by a halfgame over slumping Cleveland.
The All-Star outfielder joined
Kaline as the only Tigers to homer
twice in one inning. The Hall of Famer
did it in 1955 against the Kansas City
Athletics. Now a special assistant to
Detroit president Dave Dombrowski,
Kaline watched Ordonez match his
accomplishment from a suite behind
home plate.
“The biggest part about it is, it was
a huge factor in us winning the game,”
Detroit manager Jim Leyland said.
“It’s an unbelievable feat that in all of
the years of the Tigers, only two guys
have done it.”
Detroit’s Placido Polanco also had a
big day, tying a major league record by
playing his 143rd consecutive game
without an error at second base. Luis
Castillo set the mark for second basemen from May 30, 2006, to June 5,
2007, with Minnesota.
“I have the record, but most importantly, we won the game,” Polanco
said. “That’s what we’re here for.”
Since the Tigers had four victories
in a row from July 15-19, they won
two straight only once (Aug. 6-7)
while losing 16 of 22 before beating
Oakland 5-2 Saturday night.
“We’re going to be OK,” Ordonez
said. “We’re still a good team.”
Oakland has lost 21 of 33 to plummet in the AL West standings, a year
after losing to Detroit in the AL championship series. The banged-up A’s
have seven players on the disabled list
and lost center fielder Nick Swisher in
the third inning with a sore hamstring.
Then his replacement, Mark Kotsay,
departed in the sixth with a stiff back.
Manager Bob Geren said both play-
Beckham sits out again
By JIMMY GOLEN
AP Sports Writer
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. —
English megastar David
Beckham resumed his tour of
American soccer benches on
Sunday, sitting out the Los
Angeles Galaxy’s game
against the New England
Revolution to rest his tender
left ankle.
Beckham has yet to start
for the Galaxy since signing a
five-year, $32.5 million contract to leave one of Europe’s
top leagues and give the sport
a boost in the skeptical United
States. He made his Major
League Soccer debut on
Thursday, but was back on the
bench against New England.
The Revolution drew
35,402 for the game, forcing
many fans to buy four-game
packs for the chance to see
Beckham. A few in the front
row behind the benches got
the former England captain’s
autograph before the match,
but the rest had to settle for a
glimpse of him in a white Tshirt, chewing ice from a cup
on the Los Angeles bench.
Robert Kraft, the owner of
the Revolution and the NFL’s
New England Patriots, came
over to greet Beckham just
before the kickoff and brought
along actors Dane Cook and
Jason Biggs, who are filming
the
romantic
comedy
“Bachelor No. 2” in Boston.
Colby Jacobson, a New
Hampshire high school junior,
held up a sign that said,
“Marry Me David.”
Sixteen-year-old
Dan
Higgins said Beckham was
the only reason he made the
hour-long trip from South
Kingston, R.I.
“He’s the best player in the
league,” Higgins said. “So
yeah, I’m disappointed. On a
disappointment scale of one to
10, I’d say it’s about a nine.”
ers are day-to-day and doesn’t expect
either to be out for a significant length
of time.
Oakland’s Marco Scutaro was 3for-4 with a homer, two doubles and
four RBIs.
“Marco has hit the ball hard for
about a month now, but it was always
right at someone,” Geren said. “Today,
he found a couple alleys.”
Nate Robertson (7-9) gave up five
runs and four hits in 5 2-3 innings, giving Detroit consecutive wins by a
starter for the first time since its fourgame streak last month. Robertson
was replaced after giving up his season-high fifth walk. He also struck out
six.
Dallas Braden (1-7) lasted just 1 23 innings, allowing eight runs and
seven hits. He hasn’t won since April
24 — his first major league start —
and is the first Oakland pitcher to lose
more than six straight in one season
since Mike Mohler in 1997.
“I’m alive. Barely,” Braden said.
Braden’s poor outing started and
ended against Ordonez.
He led off the second by sending a
low pitch to the opposite field, over
the right-field wall. His second homer,
with two on, went to left and chased
Braden as Detroit took an 8-2 lead.
“The sinker was down and away —
right where I wanted it — and he just
popped it out,” Braden said. “The second one was a fastball up. Pretty much
perfect for him. Just a dumb pitch.”
San Francisco’s Bengie Molina is
the only other player to hit two homers
in an inning this season, on May 7
against the New York Mets, and only
Tampa Bay’s Julio Lugo did it last
year, according to the Elias Sports
Bureau.
The last player to hit two home runs
against the same pitcher in one inning
was Montreal’s Juan Rivera against
Arnie Munoz of the Chicago White
Sox on June 19, 2004, according to
Elias.
Notes: Polanco has not made an
error since July 1, 2006. The major
league record for consecutive errorless
games by any infielder is 193, set by
Steve Garvey.
Oakland’s Mark Ellis played his
77th straight game without an error,
extending a franchise record for a 2B.
Polanco led off for the first time this
season, a day after he was a late
scratch because of a sore thumb. “It’s
still hurting, but it’s playable,”
Polanco said. “I hurt it sliding into
third.”
Ordonez is the first Tiger with two
straight 100-RBI seasons since Dean
Palmer in 1999 and 2000.

Stewart takes advantage of Gordon spin and wins again at Watkins Glen
Gordon admits to
overdriving because
Stewart was ‘really
good’
By JOHN KEKIS
AP Sports Writer
WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. — Tony
Stewart took advantage of a stunning
mistake by Jeff Gordon with two
laps to go Sunday and won the
Centurion Boats at The Glen at
Watkins Glen International.
Gordon, who started from the pole
and led a race-high 51 laps, seemed
to have his 10th road course victory
in hand, but he spun out on his own
heading into the first turn with
Stewart a couple of car-lengths
behind and finished ninth.
“I was driving hard,” a dejected
Gordon said after climbing from his
No. 24 Chevrolet. “I just overdrove
going into one. It was just stupid. I
knew I had to push because Tony
was really good.”
For Stewart, who spun out in the
same place while leading earlier in
the race and dropping to 19th, it was
his third victory in four races and
sixth on a road course, tying him for
second behind Gordon. Stewart has
now won four of the last five races at
Watkins Glen and finished second to
Kevin Harvick a year ago.
“I saw Jeff lose it just like I lost
it,” Stewart said. “I had to keep fighting back.”
Denny Hamlin finished second,
Jimmie Johnson was third, Canadian
road race ace Ron Fellows fourth and
Robby Gordon fifth.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. suffered a big
blow to his chances of making the
Chase for the Nextel Cup championship with just four races remaining
before the cutoff.
After complaining in practice
about how bad his car was handling,
Earnhardt turned things around in the
race and was running up front much

Home Depot driver Tony Stewart, #20, shown here with Robby Gordon, #7, and Jeff Gordon, #24, at
Infineon Raceway in Sonoma earlier this summer, managed to take advantage of a rare Jeff Gordon
mistake to earn the checkered flag at the Centurian Boats at the Glen.
of the day. But while running third
behind Gordon and Kurt Busch, the
engine in the red No. 8 Chevrolet
blew, ending his day on lap 63. He
finished 42nd.
It was the fifth DNF of the season
for Earnhardt, and four have been
engine-related. He entered the day
trailing Kurt Busch by seven points
for the 12th and final spot in the
standings. Only the top 12 after the
first 26 races qualify to race for the
title over the final 10 races of the
season.
“We had an issue with the motor,”
Earnhardt said. “I think it was due to
some of the downshifting I was making during practice. We had been
having trouble with the car all week.
We were doing well in the race, but I
was downshifting to try and get some
more power out of the car. I was hoping for a good showing and have
something to be proud of. I’m kind
of disappointed. We have a couple of
races left and there’s no telling what
will happen in those.”
Busch was caught speeding on pit
road on his final pit stop but rallied
to finish 11th.
Rookie Juan Pablo Montoya, who
won a Busch Series race in Mexico
and the Cup race at Sonoma in June,
was bidding to become the first driver in NASCAR history to win three
road races in a season. He failed in
Saturday’s Busch race, finishing
33rd after being involved in an accident, and on Sunday he had another
altercation.
Montoya and Harvick got together
with less than 20 laps remaining in
the 90-lap event while both were
running in the top 10, and ended up
in a shoving match after their cars
got banged up. Harvick finished 29th
and Montoya was 39th.
It was the second road race for the
boxier Car of Tomorrow, and there
was plenty of action with eight cautions and even a red flag flying.
Stewart and Gordon had the
staunchest cars all race. Gordon led
the first 13 laps, then Stewart took
over for the next 11 circuits around
the 11-turn, 2.45-mile course. But
Stewart slid off track going into turn
1 on lap 45, giving the lead back to
Gordon.
Stewart immediately began to
charge back and was back in the top
five by lap 66.
Then the drama began to build.
On a restart on lap 67, Stewart
passed Montoya for fourth in Turn 1
and set his sights on Hamlin and Carl
Edwards. Stewart tried to pass both
in the Inner Loop, a fast four-turn
chicane at the end of the high-speed
esses, by cutting through the grass.
Hamlin did the same as he fought off
the charge and dirt and dust flew.
When Kyle Petty’s engine blew
seconds later to bring out the sixth
caution, Hamlin retained second,
with Stewart third and Edwards
fourth, followed by Harvick and
Montoya.
The contact continued on the
ensuing restart. Montoya cut to the
inside heading in the first turn, a 90degree right-hander, blocking Martin
Truex Jr., who hit the Colombian
rookie’s rear end, sending him into
Harvick. Harvick and Montoya both
spun around, and Montoya was hit
hard by Jeff Burton.
Harvick and Montoya got out of
their cars and began pushing and
shoving before NASCAR officials
stepped in. Harvick, who entered the
day ninth in the standings, retreated
to the pits as his crew worked feverishly to get him back out and salvage
as many points as possible.
“We got tapped from behind, and
we got run over by the 42,” Harvick
said. “But it seems the 42 runs over
someone every week. I’m frustrated
with that particular car. We thought
we had a chance to win there.”
“I don’t appreciate that,” Montoya
said, referring to Harvick’s shoves.
“I have no respect for the guy. I used
to have respect for the guy.”
The race was red-flagged for 26
minutes with 15 laps to go because
there was too much debris on the
track, and one fan tried to get an
autograph from Matt Kenseth by
jumping the blue guardrail that lines
the course. Kenseth declined because
he was a “little busy” and the fan was
immediately escorted from the track.
Despite two more cautions,
Gordon held off the charges of both
Hamlin and Stewart on the restarts
and seemed on the road to his fifth
win of the season when the race
resumed for the final time with eight
laps left.

Horse racing loses prominent owner
By BETH HARRIS
AP Sports Writer
LOS ANGELES — Merv
Griffin, the entertainer turned
multimillionaire businessman
and game show creator, also
left his mark on horse racing.
Griffin,
who
created
“Jeopardy!” and “Wheel of
Fortune,” died Sunday of
prostate cancer. He was 82.
He enjoyed his greatest racing success in recent years.
His colt Stevie Wonderboy,
named for entertainer Stevie
Wonder, won the $1.5 million
Breeders’ Cup Juvenile in
2005.
“There’s a lot of excitement
winning Emmy Awards and
all that stuff,” Griffin said at
the time. “Then there’s the
fighting with Donald Trump,
which is fun, but this is extraordinary.”
He
purchased
Stevie
Wonderboy for $100,000. The
colt had a rough trip in the
Juvenile, getting checked at
the start, then stumbled on the
backstretch before rallying
from 12th place to upset previously undefeated First
Samurai at New York’s
Belmont Park.
Stevie Wonderboy went on
to win the Eclipse Award as
the nation’s top 2-year-old
colt of 2005. The trophies are
considered the Oscars of
horse racing. He also won the
Del Mar Futurity in 2005.
But Griffin also had bad
racing luck, twice failing to
realize his dream of running a
horse in America’s most
famous race.
Stevie Wonderboy was
considered a favorite for the
2006 Kentucky Derby, but the
colt didn’t run because of a
leg injury.
Griffin believed he had a
solid contender this year with
Cobalt Blue, but he decided at
the last minute not to enter the
colt in the Derby because of
disappointing pre-race results.
“I feel like the Susan Lucci
of the Derby,” Griffin told The
Associated Press in May. “But
that’s not my total goal. I just
love the animals and have for
years.”
Two months after the
Derby, Griffin was hospitalized for a recurrence of
prostate cancer.
Griffin became interested
in the sport as a youngster
when he attended the races at
Bay Meadows in San Mateo,
his hometown south of San
Francisco.
He remembered watching
the legendary Seabiscuit run
at the track.
Griffin owned and operated
Griffin Ranch in La Quinta,
near Palm Springs, where he
kept more than 50 thoroughbreds. The ranch also has 300
luxury homes with riding
trails and equestrian services.
He was a former member
of the Hollywood Park board
of directors.

The year ahead is an excellent period for studying complex subjects or taking up
something intricate to learn.
Your mind is apt to be much
quicker than usual in absorbing ideals and gathering information on important topics.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Too many unexpected disruptions in your scheduled routine could throw you off track.
Don't add insult to injury by
rushing your jobs so that you
totally botch up the project.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22) -- You might be a bit too
restless to deal with the same
old people. You'll have to
guard against behaving impatiently with them so that you
don't end up treating them dis-
respectfully.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
-- Put off attempting to sell a
complex idea to others, especially if it is something that is
job-related or important to
your future. The aspects are
such that it could come off
sounding kooky.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
22) -- When relating important information to others,
give them some leeway with
the facts. You may think you
have all the data available, but
something very important
may be missing.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23Dec. 21) -- There is a strong
possibility a sudden shift in
your affairs could take place
that you hadn't contemplated.

is 48.
TODAY’S SPORTS: At the 1919 Sanford
Stakes at Saratoga, the 2-year-old racing champion Man o’ War lost the only race of his
career.
TODAY’S QUOTE: “Drama is life with

revisions.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19) -- You are inclined to
be a bit blunt in conversations
with others. Take extra precautions to avoid saying anything that would needlessly
upset people or cause a
brouhaha.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 19) -- This is a day when
sins of omission or commission could catch up with you,
especially if you have been a
bit lax or careless in your
work habits. Get an early start
to make sure everything is in
order.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March
20) -- You tend to be much too
quick in trusting others or
believing everything you hear
the dull bits cut out.” -- Alfred Hitchcock
TODAY’S FACT: After Annie Oakley
defeated fellow sharpshooter Frank Butler in a

ARIES (March 21-April

achieve your objectives or
goals,
you'll
succeed.
However, if you're looking for
a free ride, you'll be extremely
disappointed.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20) -- This should be your
kind of day. It's about being
orderly and meticulous in
your accomplishments (which
you usually like), yet you'll
have little tolerance for being
methodical.
GEMINI (May 21-June
20) -- No one is more susceptible to fascinating stories than
Gemini, but take care about
getting caught up in a getrich-quick tale that is too
exciting to be true. It'll be
devoid of all substance.
CANCER (June 21-July
22) -- Be on guard and don't
be pressured into making a
critical decision about something you haven't had time to
investigate or study properly.
Acting in haste would be a
bad mistake.

Woman seeks advice on overly attached sister-in-law
Dear Annie: My husband has a sister who is
obsessed with him. “Fawn” is in her 30s. She
sends him e-mails every day, with “Love” on
the subject line, droning on and on about how
much she misses him and wishes he still lived
at home with her and her mother. She calls and
leaves twisted messages on our answering
machine (which our kids can hear), saying he
doesn’t belong with me, marrying me was a
mistake and he needs to come home. She tells
our mutual friends that my husband doesn’t
really love me and only stays because of the
kids.
My husband doesn’t reply to her e-mails and
only answers the phone when she creates some
emergency for him to deal with. He is afraid if
he hurts her feelings, she will attempt suicide.
Surely this isn’t normal sisterly behavior. What
is wrong with her, and how can we make her
stop? -- At Wits’ End
Dear Wits’ End: Fawn sounds mentally
unstable and very manipulative. She will con-

tinue the harassment until your husband makes
it crystal clear that he is not leaving you. Fawn
believes she is influencing him. He needs to
tell her directly that he loves her, but her fixation is pushing him away. You and your husband should also speak to his mother, explaining that Fawn needs psychiatric help, because
her obsession with her brother is unnatural and
disturbing.
Dear Annie: My mother passed away less
than a year ago. It was a traumatic experience,
and I’m still not quite over it. I assume my
father is also suffering, but in a different way.
Two months after Mom’s death, Dad started
dating. Now he is seeing a woman who is

almost my age, hardly speaks English and
dresses very seductively. Dad lavishes gifts
and trips on this woman. She stays at his home,
and although she is rude enough not to respond
when I greet her, she certainly enjoys talking to
me about things that happen while they are
lying in bed.
I have told Dad what I think of this woman,
but he insists she is wonderful. My aunts and
uncles are very supportive of the relationship
and even invited her on a family trip. My father
wants me to give her the same respect I did my
mother. This just makes me sick, and I feel I’ve
lost my dad, too. What can I do? -- Still
Grieving
Dear Grieving: Your father is finding
solace in the arms of this woman, and right
now, absolutely nothing you say will make a
dent. Your only decision is whether or not to
accept her as best you can in order to maintain
a relationship with your father. Try not to judge
him too harshly. It is fairly common widower
behavior to seek immediate female companionship. You don’t have to like this woman or
listen to her racy commentary, but we think
you can manage to be civil and polite. Our con-
dolences.
Dear Annie: I’d like to respond to the letter
about “Tandy,” the third-grade girl who is having problems with her friends. While I agree
that she needs to develop other friends and not
react to the mean ones, you did not go far
enough.
In the school district where I work, we have
been undergoing bullying recognition training.
What these girls are doing has a technical term
-- “relational aggression.” Girls who bully are
less likely to be physically intimidating, and
instead practice social isolation or ridicule of
peers. In many ways it is more damaging than
physical bullying, as it is more difficult to
detect and much easier to deny.
Girls who are bullied are under stress. Her
school and the church both need to be made
aware of the bullying, and Mom should make
herself a pest if she does not get the responses
she needs. E-mail the principal, the superintendent or the school board. Bullying should not
be tolerated. -- Geneseo, N.Y.
Dear N.Y.: We hope some sensitivity training will help these girls understand why their

American Profile...
American Profile is a weekly, four-color
magazine that celebrates hometown
American life. It’s a heartfelt reminder of
what’s good about who we are and the
places many of us still call home. American
Profile is about places where drive-in
movies, county fairs, and simple acts of
neighborly kindness are more than fond
memories. They are woven into the fabric
of everyday life. It’s about Sunday
afternoon picnics, 4th of July parades
where people aren’t ashamed to shed a
tear when the flag passes, and about doing
what’s right-just because it’s right.
American Profile is about this country’s
roots, and the people and places that still
make America great.

Woman seeks advice on overly attached sister-in-law
Dear Annie: My husband has a sister who is
obsessed with him. “Fawn” is in her 30s. She
sends him e-mails every day, with “Love” on
the subject line, droning on and on about how
much she misses him and wishes he still lived
at home with her and her mother. She calls and
leaves twisted messages on our answering
machine (which our kids can hear), saying he
doesn’t belong with me, marrying me was a
mistake and he needs to come home. She tells
our mutual friends that my husband doesn’t
really love me and only stays because of the
kids.
My husband doesn’t reply to her e-mails and
only answers the phone when she creates some
emergency for him to deal with. He is afraid if
he hurts her feelings, she will attempt suicide.
Surely this isn’t normal sisterly behavior. What
is wrong with her, and how can we make her
stop? -- At Wits’ End
Dear Wits’ End: Fawn sounds mentally
unstable and very manipulative. She will con-

tinue the harassment until your husband makes
it crystal clear that he is not leaving you. Fawn
believes she is influencing him. He needs to
tell her directly that he loves her, but her fixation is pushing him away. You and your husband should also speak to his mother, explaining that Fawn needs psychiatric help, because
her obsession with her brother is unnatural and
disturbing.
Dear Annie: My mother passed away less
than a year ago. It was a traumatic experience,
and I’m still not quite over it. I assume my
father is also suffering, but in a different way.
Two months after Mom’s death, Dad started
dating. Now he is seeing a woman who is

almost my age, hardly speaks English and
dresses very seductively. Dad lavishes gifts
and trips on this woman. She stays at his home,
and although she is rude enough not to respond
when I greet her, she certainly enjoys talking to
me about things that happen while they are
lying in bed.
I have told Dad what I think of this woman,
but he insists she is wonderful. My aunts and
uncles are very supportive of the relationship
and even invited her on a family trip. My father
wants me to give her the same respect I did my
mother. This just makes me sick, and I feel I’ve
lost my dad, too. What can I do? -- Still
Grieving
Dear Grieving: Your father is finding
solace in the arms of this woman, and right
now, absolutely nothing you say will make a
dent. Your only decision is whether or not to
accept her as best you can in order to maintain
a relationship with your father. Try not to judge
him too harshly. It is fairly common widower
behavior to seek immediate female companionship. You don’t have to like this woman or
listen to her racy commentary, but we think
you can manage to be civil and polite. Our con-
dolences.
Dear Annie: I’d like to respond to the letter
about “Tandy,” the third-grade girl who is having problems with her friends. While I agree
that she needs to develop other friends and not
react to the mean ones, you did not go far
enough.
In the school district where I work, we have
been undergoing bullying recognition training.
What these girls are doing has a technical term
-- “relational aggression.” Girls who bully are
less likely to be physically intimidating, and
instead practice social isolation or ridicule of
peers. In many ways it is more damaging than
physical bullying, as it is more difficult to
detect and much easier to deny.
Girls who are bullied are under stress. Her
school and the church both need to be made
aware of the bullying, and Mom should make
herself a pest if she does not get the responses
she needs. E-mail the principal, the superintendent or the school board. Bullying should not
be tolerated. -- Geneseo, N.Y.
Dear N.Y.: We hope some sensitivity training will help these girls understand why their
