Sheriff’s Capt. Kurt Smallcomb said the death does not appear suspicious but is being investigated as is standard procedure for any death at the jail. “He was in medical isolation for a reason,” Smallcomb said. The inmate, who is only being identified as a 61-year-old man from Willits because his family had not been notified, was found on the floor of the Medical Isolation Observation room by a nurse at around 5 p.m. Thursday. Smallcomb said the man was in the isolation room because he had allegedly been involved in a drunken driving accident days before, which led to his arrest. Smallcomb said the man also had other medical issues. “He had some heart ailments,” Smallcomb said. Jail staff, from both the corrections and medical units, attempted to revive the man by performing CPR but were unsuccessful. He was taken by ambulance to Ukiah Valley Medical Center, where additional attempts to revive him were also unsuccessful. INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE OBSERVED LOCALLY The man was pronounced dead at 6:30 p.m. Thursday. Smallcomb said the man was booked into the jail Sunday and had spent his entire stay in medical isolation because of his medical issues. He was around no other inmates. An autopsy was performed Friday, but results are not expected until a toxicology report has been completed and returned to the Mendocino County Coroner’s Office.

Two arrested in counterfeit scam at casino By BEN BROWN The Daily Journal MacLeod Pappidas/The Daily Journal Second-graders at Instilling Goodness elementary school are dressed as doves during a peace parade Friday at the City of Ten Thousand Buddhas. Two men who are accused of using fake $100 bills to defraud casinos out of more than $100,000 were arrested Thursday at the Hopland Sho-Ka-Wah Casino. Jake Daniels Ewing, 21, of Las Vegas, and Mikael Inturbe, 27, of Hercules, were arrested on robbery and fraud charges Thursday following an investigation by the California State Division of Gambling Control. The two are accused of theft from slot machines at more than 20 casinos in Northern California and Nevada. The four-month investigation revealed the two men were allegedly bleaching $1 bills and using a home printer to make the fake $100 bills. They then allegedly took the bills to casinos and fed them into slot-machines, receiving credit slips they exchanged for cash. According to reports from state Gambling Control, the two men have been identified on surveillance tapes passing off the counterfeit bills and were caught feeding the bills into slot machines at Sho-Ka-Wah. The two suspects also reportedly showed familiarity with the machines and appeared to know ways to get around built-in bill validators to avoid detection. A raid of a room at the Extended Stay Hotel in the 3100 block of Garrity Way in Richmond, where the suspects had been staying, turned up two printers, a scanner, rubber gloves, chemical bleaches, a stack of bleached bills and several baseball caps the men used to conceal their identities, according to reports from state Gambling Control. Ewing was booked into the Mendocino County Jail on suspicion of second-degree burglary, conspiracy to commit a felony, forgery, possession of a bad check and a warrant for failure to appear. Inturbe was booked into jail on suspicion of possession of a controlled substance, second-degree burglary, possession of a forged check, forgery, conspiracy to commit a felony and a parole violation. Both men are being held at the jail on a $300,000 bond each. Ben Brown can be reached at [email protected]. Dharma Master Heng Lyu, above, addresses the crowd of Peace Day participants.

WEST COAST GREEN CONFERENCE How green is my valley City of 10,000 hosts celebration By ROB BURGESS The Daily Journal “Om mani padme om, om mani padme om, om mani padme om,” said a group of children, repeating the mantra as they walked. As they repeated the six-syllable invocation of the multi-armed Buddhist deity Avalokiteshvara, the procession carried red, green, purple and blue balloons inscribed with the word “Peace” and paper and cloth doves of all sizes. The march was part of the City of Ten Thousand Buddhas’ celebration of International Peace Day Friday afternoon. The ceremony began with the march, which started at the entrance gates and snaked across the campus. The crowd, which also included parents and other guests, then made their way across the property, through the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas and across to Confucius Hall. After students and onlookers were seated, Dharma Master Heng Lyu said being peaceful toward others began by being peaceful with oneself. “Confucius told us we should be patient and put ourselves in others’shoes,” he said. “The Buddha emphasized we should be gentle with each other and ourselves. Then we can create inner peace.” Lyu’s speech was followed by crystal bowl ringing, courtesy of Judy Clark, and the vocal stylings of several groups of students. In the evening, a meditation for peace was held from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the University Building, and featured additional crystal bowl ringing and music provided by the group Voices 3. The celebration was not limited to the school, but was recognized worldwide. According to InternationalDayOfPeace.org, more than 3,500 Peace Day events took place in 200 countries last year, including all 192 member nations of the United Nations. According to the World Peace Prayer Society, in 1981 the United Nations General Assembly passed resolution 36/67 declaring an International Day of Peace. In 2001, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a new resolution, 55/282, declaring Sept. 21 of each year as the International Day of Peace. Rob Burgess can be reached at [email protected]. Tibetan translation of mantra graphic: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/co mmons/8/8e/Om-mani-padme-hummantra.svg By DAVID BALLANTINE for The Daily Journal I am attending the West Coast Green Conference at the Billy Graham Auditorium in San Francisco because I am designing a house for myself and my family. Though the floor show bears strong resemblance to the weekend home and garden shows we all have spent weekends at, sidestepping the hard selling salespeople, the list of guest speakers and teachers is as remarkable a group of forward thinkers as you could find anywhere in the world. It is the second year for the conference, and there is no doubt this year is every bit as successful as last year’s event. For the record, last year did not meet expectations; it exceeded them in every conceivable way, attracting more than 9,000 attendees from the building industry. This year 12,000 to 14,000 have and will be registering over the next few days. Why has it become such a watershed event? Event inventor and organizer Christi Graham has arranged for the rock stars of what has become “the” global movement to cast blessings on the church of the newly converted. It is hard not to notice that these authors, architects and entrepreneurs are more than enjoying the spotlight and their elevation to demigod status.

Group: Importer, state were warned about lead in lunch boxes Associated Press SACRAMENTO — State officials and a Los Angeles company were alerted last year that lunch boxes imported by the firm from China contained high amounts of lead, an environmental group said Friday. The state Department of Public Health warned consumers on Thursday not to use about 56,000 lunch boxes that were imported by the company, T-A Creations, and distributed through a state program to encourage healthy eating and exercise. The Center for Environmental Health, an organization based in Oakland, said it found high amounts of lead in a lunch box from T-A Creations that was given out at a summer camp sponsored by a Hillsborough school. The center said it notified T-A Creations in April 2006 and filed a lawsuit the following August that sought to force the company to stop importing lead-tainted products. The lawsuit is still pending, and T-A Creations has refused to discuss a settlement, center officials said. [email protected] The Ukiah Daily Journal “It is outrageous for a company that has long known about this problem to be so cavalier about exposing children to lead,” said Michael Green, the center’s executive director, in a statement. “We hope that the state will take swift action to hold this company accountable for putting profits ahead of children’s health.” An employee at T-A Creations, Stan Cipriano, said all information about the lawsuit had been forwarded to the company’s attorney, who did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Associated Press. In filing the suit under Proposition 65 — a 1986 ballot measure that attempts to reduce public exposure to dangerous chemicals — the center had to notify the attorney general’s office, said Charles Margulis, a spokesman for the center. That requirement gives the attorney general the option of taking over the case, joining it as a co-plaintiff or standing back and letting the private organization proceed with the lawsuit, Margulis added. Giuliani tries to reassure NRA members of his support for the right to bear arms The world briefly Judge denies request to release Jena teenager, one day after civil rights protest JENA, La. (AP) — A judge on Friday denied a request to release a teenager whose arrest in the beating of a white classmate sparked this week’s civil rights protest in Louisiana. Mychal Bell’s request to be freed while an appeal is being reviewed was rejected at a juvenile court hearing, effectively denying him any chance at immediate bail, a person familiar with the case told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because juvenile court proceedings are closed. Earlier, Bell’s mother emerged from the hearing in tears, refusing to comment. Bell, 17, was convicted of aggravated second-degree battery, which could have led to 15 years in prison. But his conviction was thrown out by a state appeals court that said he could not be tried on the charge as an adult because he was 16 at the time of the beating. On Thursday, the case drew thousands of protesters to this tiny central Louisiana town to rally against what they see as a double standard of justice for blacks and whites. The march was one of the biggest civil rights demonstrations in years. The case dates to August 2006, when a black Jena High School student asked the principal whether blacks could sit under a shade tree that was a frequent gathering place for whites. He was told yes. But nooses appeared in the tree the next day. Condoleezza Rice orders review of security practices for U.S. diplomats in Iraq WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Friday she had ordered a “full and complete review” of security practices for U.S. diplomats in Iraq following a deadly weekend incident involving private guards protecting an embassy convoy. Rice’s announcement came as the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad resumed limited diplomatic convoys under the protection of Blackwater USA outside the heavily fortified Green Zone after a two-day suspension because of the weekend incident in that city. Rice said she had directed the State Department to examine “how we are providing security to our diplomats.” The review will include all aspects of protection, including the rules of engagement for security guards and under what jurisidiction they should be covered, department spokesman Sean McCormack said. While on a plane returning from the Middle East to Washington, Rice ordered the review on Thursday in a phone call to the veteran diplomat who will lead it, Patrick Kennedy, a senior management official, according to McCormack. He said the review would be conducted as quickly as possible and might bring in outside experts. Louisiana, Mississippi prepare for first brush with tropical weather since 2005 NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Coastal Louisiana and Mississippi prepared Friday for what could be their first brush with tropical weather since hurricanes Katrina and Rita laid waste to the area and killed more than 1,600 people more than two years ago. A tropical depression lurking off the Florida Gulf Coast was expected to grow into a weak tropical storm before coming ashore Saturday afternoon, probably in Mississippi. Tropical storm warnings stretched from Apalachicola, Fla., to the mouth of the Mississippi River. Forecasts showed the system possibly moving as far east as Mobile, Ala., or as far west as New Orleans. No evacuations were ordered, but authorities were monitoring the storm closely. People living in some flood-prone areas of Mississippi were urged to seek substantial shelter. Officials in the New Orleansarea weighed whether to open shelters or evacuate trailer parks. Decisions were expected by late afternoon. Showers were expected to begin Friday evening in New Orleans. Forecasters said the area could receive 2 to 4 inches by the end of the day Saturday. Wind gusts of up to 55 mph were also possible, raising concerns for the thousands of residents still living in FEMA trailers in the region. Watch Repair WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican Rudy Giuliani sought to reassure the National Rifle Association of his support for a constitutional right to bear arms as rivals Fred Thompson, John McCain and Mike Huckabee contended the former New York mayor is no friend of gun owners. In a direct appeal Friday to the powerful lobbying group, Thompson, McCain and Huckabee stressed their backing for gun rights and record of siding with the NRA. Giuliani, who once referred to the NRA as “extremists,” tried to explain his shifting views on the issue. The NRA’s support is prized as the group blankets its 4 million members with ads, mailings and phone calls. Before the 2008 election, it hopes to increase its numbers. “I’d like us to respect each other; I think we have very, very legitimate and mostly similar views,” Giuliani told NRA members, who clapped politely a dozen times during his 20-minute speech. Giuliani also tried to explain why, as mayor, he joined a lawsuit by several cities against the gun industry, arguing that manufacturers and distributors made it too easy for criminals to get guns. MIT student wearing fake bomb arrested at gunpoint at Logan Airport BOSTON (AP) — Troopers arrested an MIT student at gunpoint Friday after she walked into Logan International Airport wearing a computer circuit board and wiring on her sweatshirt. Authorities call it a fake bomb; she called it art. Star Simpson’s attorney said the charges against her were an overreaction, but authorities expressed amazement that someone would wear such a device eight months after a similar scare in Boston, and six years after two of the jets hijacked in the Sept. 11 attacks took off from Logan. “I’m shocked and appalled that somebody would wear this type of device to an airport,” said State Police Maj. Scott Pare, the airport’s commanding officer. The terminal was not evacuated and flights were not affected, airport officials said. Simpson, 19, of Hawaii, has expertise in electronics and even received a Congressional citation for her work in robotics, according to her lawyer. Half of the wild bison on Santa Catalina Island have a little bit of cow in them LOS ANGELES (AP) — Long thought to be purebred, the wild bison of Santa Catalina Island in fact have a little bit of cow in them, the first DNA analysis of the animals found. Nearly half of the 98 American bison shipped off the island in 2004 have cattle genes that were passed on through the mother. Catalina bison were believed to be purer than those on the mainland because they lived in isolation on the island since the 1920s. “We were surprised because there’s nothing cattle about them. They look like bison,” said biologist Dennis Hedgecock of the University of Southern California, who co-authored the study. The research done at USC and Texas A&M University appears in the latest issue of the journal Animal Genetics. Scientists believe the crossbreeding occurred long before the bison were brought to Catalina Island. Hedgecock said the Catalina herd likely descended from animals on the famous Goodnight Ranch in Texas where cattle ranchers mated bison, also called buffalo, with cows to create a better beef animal. The ranch called the offspring of the union “cataloes.” Bison have roamed Catalina since 1924 when 14 head were brought in as extras for the silent film “The Vanishing American,” though the movie did not include footage of the bison. The animals became a mainstay on the island and grew to a herd of 600 at one point. Chris Crocker hopes to find TV stardom after ‘Leave Britney Alone’ video (AP) Chris Crocker has been called “queer,” “a human train wreck,” the “Britney guy,” an androgynous “it” and much, much worse. But how does this 19-year-old Internet phenomenon, known worldwide for his tearful YouTube defense of Britney Spears, define himself? “I’m the key to world peace,” says Crocker, sporting a sleeveless black T-shirt with a hot pink silhouette of Marilyn Monroe. His blond bob is swept behind an ear and the eye liner is, as always, flawless. World peace aside, the teenager has captured millions of viewers on MySpace and YouTube with his passionate, campy and sometimes furious monologues about life.

Women’s ministry bible study this fall occurs on See RELIGION BRIEFS, Page 5 By PETER ENAV The Associated Press SAPULOU, Taiwan -Sixty years after Roman Catholic and Presbyterian missionaries first converted large numbers of Taiwanese aboriginals in their leafy mountain villages, Christianity here is entering a new phase. Adherents are leaving the faith. Faced with a declining agricultural economy in their hard pressed rural communities, more and more upcountry Christians are moving to Taiwan’s bustling cities, where worldly temptations and a bewildering social framework are challenging their beliefs. At a recent Sunday morning service in the nearby community of Laolauran, American Presbyterian missionary John McCall tried to rally the faithful, as local hill tribe pastor Sakulu translated his Mandarin Chinese sermon into the aboriginal language of Paiwanese. “God loves you and he is your father,” McCall said. “You’re all the children of God.” But the church was mostly empty, and the worshippers included few if any young adults. “I used to go to church,” said Dzwo Ying-gung, who recently returned to the area to work at the Dawu Mountain National Education Center. “But now I don’t. My faith has fallen away.” The attitude of Dzwo and thousands of hill tribe Taiwanese like him represents a fundamental challenge to McCall and the legion of local pastors he and his predecessors have helped train at three Presbyterian seminaries around the island. Ever since Canadian George Mackay came to Taiwan in 1871, the center of the missionary enterprise on the island has always been its hill tribe people, whose ancestors migrated here from south Pacific islets about 6,000 years ago. The Paiwan and others once proved much more receptive to Christianity than their lowland neighbors, who followed Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism. Today, some 65 percent of the hill tribe population of 460,000 is Christian, about equally divided between Presbyterians and Catholics, according to government statistics. That compares with about 2 percent of Taiwan’s 22.5 million Han Chinese, who originated on the Chinese mainland, where they constitute a large majority. Sociologist Jonathan Unger of Canberra’s Australian National University said the hill tribes were more open to the Christian message largely because of the prejudice they felt from the Han. Other Asian minority peoples, in places like southwest China, Laos, and upland Thailand, also were more willing to embrace Christianity, he said. “It’s a common phenomenon that a minority people considered inferior in many respects by the dominant culture will protect itself by turning to a world religion,” Unger said. Rangalu, a 45-year-old primary school teacher in the hill tribe village of Sapulou, said the discrimination he experienced played a key role in forming his own Paiwan identity. “When I was in school in Taipei the (Han) teacher would say, ’Look at this Paiwan kid, he’s so dark, he’s dirty, don’t play with him,”’ he said. “It really made an impression.” His wife Muni, 39, cited another reason for Christianity’s popularity: the health care and other social services provided by foreign missionaries. “They were all very poor, they had very few clothes,” said Muni, who spent seven years studying theology at the Yusan Presbyterian Seminary in the eastern Taiwanese city of Hualien. “But the missionaries came and cured them, they gave them clothes and they taught them to love God.” But now, she said more local young people are going to Taiwanese cities in search of work. “They are discriminated against, they lose their connection to the church, they start to drink, their lives become unstable,” she said. Placed near the base of a steeply rising mountain covered with coconut palms, stands of bamboo, and verdant rows of acacia trees, many of the homes in Sapulou village are decorated with handsome wood carvings depicting traditional Paiwan symbols: serpents, warriors holding spears, and hunting scenes featuring wild mountain pigs. Sapulou lies near the southern extreme of the 240-mile mountainous spine that runs down the center of Taiwan and hosts its 13 government-recognized aboriginal tribes. Dappled with satellite dishes -- and only a few miles removed from a railway stop on the line to the mostly Han city of Taidung -- the village is See CHRISTIAN, Page 5 Faith Directory APOSTLES EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH (ELS): Pastor Kent Dethlefsen; Phone 462-8201; Sunday worship: 9:30 am; Sunday School: 10:30 am (Sept. thru May); Communion 3rd Sunday of the month.

Meadows, 468-3526 [email protected] The Ukiah Daily Journal California focus Sweet land of liberty NAT HENTOFF TOM ELIAS First Amendment triumphs over Bush Widening economic inequalities On July 4, 2004, President George W. Bush was in Charleston, W.Va., to help celebrate Independence Day. In the audience were two dissenters from some of his policies. On the front of their T-shirts, Jeff and Nicole Rank had the word "Bush" crossed out. On the back of Nicole's T-shirt was "Love America, Hate Bush." White House advance-team staff members ordered the young couple to remove or cover their shirts or leave the event. Since they were on public property and were not being disruptive, the Ranks refused, pointing out that they were within their First Amendment rights of free speech. Then there was a disruption. The advance team instructed the local police to arrest the Ranks for trespassing and to forcibly remove them in handcuffs. They were jailed briefly, and criminal charges were filed against them. "We couldn't believe what was happening to us," said American citizen Nicole Rank. "We tried to tell them we had a right to express our opinions in a peaceful way, but they wouldn't listen to us." They wouldn't listen because they were obeying the Presidential Advance Manual that details the ways in which protesters at presidential appearances must be "deterred" and, if possible, kept out of the sight of the president and the press. I am able to tell you about the Presidential Advance Manual because the American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit in federal court on behalf of the Ranks and the First Amendment. In the course of this legal action, the White House's instructions on how to safeguard the president of the United States from peaceful protest -- even on the Fourth of July -- were obtained. The president, I know, reads history, including American history, and I suggest he also read carefully the Presidential Advance Manual, from the Office of Presidential Advice, released in October 2002 and still in effect. I believe he will be embarrassed by it, and I hope he takes appropriate action. Because of the ACLU lawsuit, appropriate action in accord with the Bill of Rights has been taken. Last month, the U.S. government settled the lawsuit, paying the Ranks $80,000 plus mediation costs, but admits no wrongdoing. Criminal charges against them have been dismissed, and the temporary suspension of Nicole Rank from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), where she works, was lifted. In this case -- there are others pending around the country about the First Amendment's having been clubbed by the Presidential Advance Manual -- the First Amendment is no longer imperiled in Charleston, W.Va. There is a welcome addition to this partial redemption of the First Amendment, from which all our liberties flow, that merits further attention. On July 19, 2004, the City Council of Charleston (not a defendant in this case) unanimously passed a commendable, patriotic resolution apologizing to Jeff and Nicole Rank. In what civics classes are left in the nation's public school system, I suggest this resolution be obtained and discussed. It begins: "Whereas, the founders of this nation declared that principles of law, enumerated in a Constitution and its Amendments, would govern them and those who followed, as opposed to the arbitrary will and rules of the King of England (as detailed in the Declaration of Independence) ... "That first Independence Day 228 years ago preserved the right of every citizen to express himself or herself peacefully (in a non-obscene manner) ... regardless of whether that expression is popular, or unpopular ... a view of the majority or the minority... "Knowing what we know now, with the advantage of having information that was not available to the (Charleston) officers when they acted ... Nicole and Jeff Rank should not have been arrested ... "If Nicole and Jeff Rank did nothing more than wear T-shirts which expressed their personal views and political opinions, and if that was the real reason that event officials (following the Presidential Advance Manual) directed our officers to arrest them, then Nicole and Jeff Rank deserve an apology ... and the City does hereby apologize to Nicole and Jeff Rank." As of this writing, there has been no apology from President George W. Bush. Mr. President, there should be. As Samuel Adams, a principal igniter of the American Revolution, said, "Driven from every other corner of the earth, freedom of thought and the right of private judgment in matters of conscience direct their course to this happy country as their last asylum." Nat Hentoff is a nationally renowned authority on the First Amendment and the Bill of Rights. California is rapidly become a classic example of a place where the rich get richer and the poor continually get poorer. That's been true for a decade or more when it comes to employment, where pay for high-end jobs requiring college degrees or higher has grown rapidly, while wages for unskilled labor in fields, carwashes, restaurants and hotels have risen only slightly. Now the real estate market is creating even more severe inequalities. Example: In one ZIP code area of southern Santa Monica, there were two foreclosures on houses during the second quarter of last year and two again for the same time period this year. Meanwhile, in another ZIP code almost 100 miles east in the Riverside County city of Moreno Valley, there were 23 foreclosures during the second quarter of last year and 296 this year. Guess where prices are still about three times higher. Statewide, foreclosures were up from about 20,000 during that time period last year to 53,000 this year. Strikingly, property values in most neighborhoods are down this year, but they are actually up in high-end areas where home prices average more than $1 million. So the rich are still getting richer, and the poor even the not-so-poor and the middle class - are getting much poorer, seeing whatever equity they've built up over years of making house payments disappear in a price slump and then often having to abandon their homes when monthly payments on some sub-prime mortgages rise after three or five years of requiring only interest. But that kind of inequality occurs every time there's a real estate recession like the one in which the entire nation is mired today. Even more serious and permanent is the widening difference between economic classes in this state spawned by the ongoing wave of immigration from Latin America, both legal and illegal. "By slow degrees, California has changed from a state where opportunities abounded and prosperity was more broadly shared to one with an increasing divide between the rich and the poor," reports Jean Ross, executive director of the Sacramento-based California Budget Project, a non-partisan analysis agency. "It makes it harder for working families to succeed and to give their children a decent start in life." A new report from the Budget Project finds the gap between low-wage and high-wage workers has widened more in California than other parts of America. One reason for this, the study found, is that job growth in this state has come mostly at the high end and the low end of the wage scale, while the middle ground remains largely stagnant. What the report does not say is that these conditions are largely the result of buildups in the high technology sector and the steady stream of immigration, both legal and illegal. High-technology jobs require education and skills, unless they are simple assembly line posts. Companies like Intel, Google, Yahoo, Qualcomm, Cisco Systems and Oracle, which employ many thousands of workers, offer higher pay and better working conditions than normal. Fortune Magazine lists all of them among the 50 best employers in America to work for. That's partly because their highly-skilled workers are in constant demand, with headhunters calling many of them almost daily. The high pay and free gourmet meals some of these firms routinely provide are ways of hanging onto their best employees. But no one would rank any car wash, restaurant kitchen or vineyard in that category. Jobs there pay exponentially less than those in high-tech. No free meals here, either. Not even a taco is gratis. The low-end jobs stay in that category for two reasons: There is little or no competition for workers because these positions require few skills. The immigrants who fill most of them are among the least educated to arrive in America in the last century. Especially the illegals, who undergo no screening for education, disease, criminal record or anything else, as legal immigrants must. As a result, the Budget Project reports about 2 million California families with incomes below 200 percent of the federal poverty level of $13,690 per year. These families can offer their children few resources, often need children to join them and help at their jobs and they produce a large number of high school dropouts. One result: school achievement tests show a continuing gap between Latino children and whites. All those factors mitigate against future success for the children. The danger in all this is that extreme distance between economic classes has often been a harbinger of social unrest. It was one of the underlying causes of riots like those in Watts and other parts of Los Angeles in 1965 and 1992. This state's government appears utterly oblivious to the problem, but continuing to ignore it can only lead to future trouble as rage builds gradually among many millions of have-nots. Letters from our readers Great music abounds locally To the Editor: There was a letter to the editor reminding us how good it is that the Ukiah School of Music will be able to continue in its present location, and listing many local musicians. To that list, we could add the singers in the Ukiah Valley Madrigal group and Hesperia. These groups include professional voice teachers and performers as well as those who are musicians in their hearts but have day jobs in other professions. We were able to attend the concert of the Ukiah Valley Madrigal group last Sunday in Mendocino, where they presented a great program of English vocal music, mostly from the time of Queen Elizabeth I when there was a tremendous surge of creativity on several other fronts as well. In addition, they presented one British folk song set by Ralph Vaughn Williams, and the premier of “Nature Never Did Betray the Heart that Loved Her,” a setting of poetry by William Wordsworth composed by local musician, radio host, and writer David Rounds who also sings in the group. I think we are lucky to be able to attend live music events, and this has been a great summer for various series of music events. There is the camaraderie of those who love to hear music and to perform it, not to mention the moments when everything goes right and the performance “catches fire.” Judy Ballenger Ukiah Wait for the whole story To the Editor: Recently in an article titled, “Students left of the side of the road,” it is reported that a local school bus driver requested that a number of students leave the bus for being disruptive. I’m sure all the parents of these kids only heard one side of the story. I think that the parents, school board and reading community should hold their opinions until they have had a chance to hear both sides of the story. I know how all the parents in the area would like to believe that their children are little angels, but sometimes youthful energy gets the better of self control and little angels become something less. All parents need to remind their kids that the driver of the bus is in charge and the driver’s instruction is to be obeyed. Unnecessary distraction on the bus places every person on the bus in harms ways and can result in a serious accident. We need the while story! Marc Parsley Willits Good voting bill needed To the Editor: AB1294 can bring much-needed election reform to Mendocino County. This bill gives California local governments the option of switching to instant runoff voting, also known as ranked voting. Local governments save money on elections, winning candidates must earn the support of a majority of voters, and voters can vote for candidates they really support without worrying about “wasting” a vote on a candidate not considered a “front-runner”. You can learn more at www.mendovote.org. Remember the “think globally, act locally” thing? This is it. Voting systems and support at the local level creates a solid foundation for statewide and nationwide election reform. AB1294 was approved by the State Assembly and Senate, but still needs the governor’s signature. So far, votes have been mostly along party lines with the democratic majority prevailing. We don’t know what our republican governor will do. You can help by asking Governor Schwarzenegger to sign AB1294. This bill doesn’t mandate anything, but gives local governments control over their own elections.

Free medical services offered on Sunday The Tzu (compassion) Chi (relief) Foundation is offering free services for anyone with no medical insurance and low income, including blood pressure tests, blood sugar testing, dental and chiropractic. The services are proved by volunteers at the Ukiah Senior Center. They can only provide certain services and treatments, and reserve the right to refuse services to unqualified people. Because the Hebrew calendar is based on the moon, not the sun, these holidays do not fall on the same dates each year. Rosh HaShanah, the Jewish New Year, began this year with an evening service on Wednesday, Sept. 12, and continued the following day. The Kol HaEmek service is a combination of traditional and contemporary prayers, songs, and readings, as well as the extraordinary sound produced by the blowing of the shofar, or ram’s horn. The High Holiday cycle concludes with Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. The first Yom Kippur service, which includes performance of the beautiful music called Kol Nidre, was held on the evening of Friday, Sept. 21. Celebration of Yom Kippur continues this morning, Saturday, Sept. 22, and concludes on that day with an afternoon service at which time deceased loved ones are remembered by the reading of their names (known in Hebrew as “yizkor”). Many observant Jews maintain a fast during this holiday; traditionally, Yom Kippur ends when three stars are visible in the night sky, and the fasting ends then, too. Kol HaEmek is located at 8591 West Road in Redwood Valley, next to Eagle Peak Middle School. For more information, call 468-4536. All people of good faith are invited to attend, in particular those of Jewish background who are not presently members of Kol HaEmek. The congregation, formerly known as the Mendocino County Inland Jewish Community, is led by Rabbi Shoshanah Devorah and includes Jews of widely diverse experience and belief. Pastor Dennis Beatty will continue his series of messages from the Book of Ephesians this Sunday morning with a sermon titled “God At Work,” from Ephesians 1:6-14. A highlight of the 10:50 a.m. monring service will be a solo by Melissa Chaty, recently crowned Miss California. She is in Ukiah for several appearances related to her platform of “Alzheimer’s Advocacy and Awareness,” including the recent Alzheimer’s benefit concert on Sept. 8. “The Joyful Noise,” led by Glenn Hinoki playing his guitar, will visit local care homes on Sunday afternoon, brining words of encouragement and scripture, favorite songs and hymns, and greeting and socializing with the residents. Awana meetings for children three years old through 6th grade begin on Wednesday, Sept. 19, at 6:20 p.m. the Worship Practice Team will participate in the upcoming “Let Your Praises Ring” on Saturday, Sept. 22, at the Ukiah fairgrounds, along with several other Christian groups. The event is sponsored by “Celebrate Recovery,” from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. All are welcome at no charge. The Ukiah Valley Friends of the Library will be holding their annual book sale on Sept. 21 to 23, at the Veterans’ Memorial Building, 239 Seminary Ave., on the corner of Oak and Seminary. The Friday hours, 4 to 7 p.m., are for members only, and those interested may join at the door. The sale is open to the public on Saturday and Sunday.

Christian Continued from Page 3 not nearly as isolated as some other aboriginal villages in the high mountain country. In one of the village’s more solid looking homes, Kanpi and his wife Lumiya, both 70, welcomed a group of foreign and local visitors with a traditional Paiwan melody embellished with modern Christian lyrics. “We welcome our guests to the house,” they sang. “We thank the Lord we have all come together in our home.” The walls of the simple structure were covered with the spoils of Kanpi’s hunting career -- assorted pig skulls, eagle feathers, and deer skins. They served as poignant reminders of the recent past, when hunting and subsistence farming were the core of the Paiwan existence. One of the visitors was McCall, who first came to Taiwan in 1996 after being inspired by stories from retired missionaries near his home in Black Mountain, N.C. A tall, youthful-looking 49, with a thick shock of salt-andpepper colored hair, McCall said that after almost 12 years in Taiwan he remained committed to his mission of helping to prepare young hill tribes people for ordination into the Presbyterian ministry. But mindful of Muni’s earlier remarks, he acknowledged the challenge of keeping faith alive for a new generation of hill tribe Christians. “In the first generation and even the second the fire is still very high,” he said. “But now the struggle is harder. The fire is starting to fade.” Introducing the new styles for Fall. “This sleek slider has it all!” PVCC to hold eight week Bible study program “...stunning in stainless steel.” Potter Valley Community Church invites interested members of the community to join them for an in-depth study of the Old Testament.

Continued on page 7 [email protected] Bonds posts farewell message to Giants fans, team letting him go By JOSH DUBOW AP Sports Writer SAN FRANCISCO — Barry Bonds was told by the San Francisco Giants that he won’t play for them in 2008, he said on his Web site on Friday. But baseball’s all-time home leader said he planned on playing somewhere next season. In a statement, Bonds said: “This journal will be one of my last entries as a San Francisco Giant. Yesterday, I was told by the Giants that they will not be bringing me back for the 2008 season.” Giants owner Peter Magowan told Bonds of the decision in person Thursday night, said Bonds’ agent, Jeff Borris. The Giants planned a news conference for 5 p.m. PDT Friday. The 43-year-old Bonds broke Hank Aaron’s record with his 756th home run on Aug. 7. Bonds has spent the past 15 seasons of his 22-year big league career with the Giants, and signed a $15.8 million, one-year contract for this season. Shadowed by steroid speculation for the past few years, Bonds has hit 28 homers this season, raising his career total to 762. The seven-time NL MVP is batting .279 with 66 RBIs. Bonds has been mostly healthy, playing 125 games going into this weekend. The left fielder had 2,935 career hits before Friday night’s game against Cincinnati. Despite Bonds’ personal achievements, the season has been a disappointing one for the Giants, who are mired deep in last place in the NL West. “We’ve heard for a long time that the Giants are an old team and want to get younger, so we’re not surprised,” Borris said. “Barry is their oldest player, but qualitatively, he’s their best player.” “He’s still planning on playing next year, irrespective of whether it’s an AL or NL team,” he said. Bonds has long denied using performance-enhancing drugs, but fans across the country have greeted him with placards inscribed with asterisks — baseball-fan shorthand for the belief that his record is hopelessly tainted by allegations of steroid abuse. Even the person who paid $752,467 for Bonds’ historic 756th home run has threatened to stamp it with an asterisk. In his statement, Bonds said he believes the Giants See BONDS, Page 7 Angels can clinch AL West with win over Mariners By KEN PETERS AP Sports Writer ANAHEIM — One more win over the Seattle Mariners and the Los Angeles Angels are AL West champions again. Los Angeles beat Seattle 95 Thursday night to increase its lead over the second-place Mariners to 9 1/2 games. The Angels will try to clinch their third division title in four years and become baseball’s first team to lock up a playoff berth when they face Seattle on Friday night in the second game of a four-game series. Los Angeles’ Joe Saunders will take the mound against former Angel Jarrod Washburn. In other AL games, Baltimore beat Texas 6-3 in 10 innings and Kansas City blanked the Chicago White Sox 3-0. The West rivalry turned heated and led to a scrum at the mound on Thursday, when Vladimir Guerrero had to duck two fastballs by Seattle reliever Jorge Campillo. After Angels starter Jered Weaver hit Kenji Johjima in the back as he tried to twist away from the ball in the fourth inning, Campillo came in high and tight against Jeff Mathis in the bottom half, then threw close to Guerrero’s head. Guerrero got back in the batter’s box, dug in and hit a two-run homer, his 26th, pausing at home to watch as the ball cleared the fence. After Campillo’s fastball whizzed past Guerrero’s head in the sixth, the slugger got up off the ground, pointed and started toward the mound before he was restrained by Seattle first baseman Ben Broussard and Angels manager Mike Scioscia. Although both benches — and bullpens — emptied and gathered around the mound, there apparently were no punches thrown. Campillo and Seattle manager John McLaren were ejected. Scioscia, who notched his 700th victory since becoming the Angels manager in 2000, had harsh words for Campillo. “I don’t know where that guy came off throwing at Mathis and Guerrero. If it came from the bench, it’s more disturbing,” Scioscia said. “If that guy’s not suspended for a month, something’s wrong because those two were as flagrant as they get. “Our philosophy’s not to retaliate. The league’s got to take some action and I’m sure they will.” The usually stoic Guerrero said he started toward the mound because he was angry at the pitch. Guerrero, relegated to DH recently because of a sore right triceps, stood alone next to the plate while players from both teams mobbed the mound, shouting and shoving before the umpires broke it up. “If I’m going to get hit, that’s fine. You can hit me, but stay away from my head. When they do it twice, that’s too much,” Guerrero said through a translator. “And what they did to our catcher, too.” Asked if he was making a statement when he paused to watch his homer, Guerrero said, “I’m not going to lie about it, yes. As a hitter, the way you want to answer is to take a good swing. I’m glad it went out of the ballpark. “But I don’t want to get caught up in that. It was right for that situation, but I hope it doesn’t happen again.” Weaver said he had no intention of hitting Johjima. “That was just one of the ones of the year that got away from me,” said Weaver, who has hit only one other batter this year. “They proved their point one time, and there was no need for it to get that bad. “Especially going after Photo by Sean Connelley/The Oakland Tribune Los Angeles Angels Vladimir Guerrero celebrates after hitting a home run Aug. 3. Guerrero might be designated as a pinch-hitter in the playoffs due to injury. Vlade. He’s our superstar, he’s our guy who’s going to carry us in the playoffs. For them to go after him once, then go after him again is completely unnecessary. I don’t know if it was frustrating for them because we were up five runs and their season’s kind of slipping.” McLaren defended Campillo, who was pitching in just his fifth major league game. “Guerrero’s hitting .600 against us. We throw the ball in the dirt and he hits it. The guy hitting behind him (Garret Anderson) is their hottest hitter since the All-Star break, so you pick your poison,” he said. “Campillo threw it up and in and he overthrew it.” Anderson doubled in a pair of runs and Howie Kendrick singled home two more during a five-run third inning against Ryan Feierabend (1-5) as Los Angeles erased a 2-0 deficit. Weaver (13-7) left with a 74 lead after five innings and won for the fifth time in his past six starts. He gave up nine hits, including Raul Ibanez’s 20th homer, a two-run shot in the fifth. Cal looks for revenge after Arizona ruined last season’s hopes By GREG BEACHAM AP Sports Writer BERKELEY — If DeSean Jackson had just kept his toes inbounds on that final catch against Arizona last season, the California star knows he could have run all the way to the Rose Bowl. Cal’s current season has been all about settling yearold scores so far. The No. 6 Golden Bears (3-0) can get a measure of payback for last season’s 24-20 loss in Tucson — a defeat that cost Cal the outright Pac-10 title — when the Wildcats (1-2) visit Memorial Stadium on Saturday for both clubs’ conference opener. Despite several mistakes in last season’s meeting — and at least three head-scratching officiating decisions that all went against the Bears — Cal could have won on a 63-yard TD catch by Jackson with 2:18 left. But video review revealed that the Cal speedster had stepped inches out of bounds. “They played us to the wire. It was a great game,” said Jackson, who had 285 allpurpose yards against the Wildcats. “I honestly feel the outcome should have been different. ... We definitely think we owe Arizona (for) last year. We could have been at the Rose Bowl if we hadn’t lost to them, but we were at their house, and they got a lot of good calls.” While the Bears’ seasonopening victory over Tennessee was about redemption, this meeting with the inconsistent Wildcats is more about proving Cal’s Pac-10 predominance. Except for a Nov. 10 visit from USC, Cal’s most dangerous conference games are on the road this season — at Oregon, Washington, UCLA and Arizona State. Staying unbeaten at home, where Cal has won nine straight, is crucial to the Bears’ hopes of finally cracking the Bowl Championship Series. Cal went 10-3 last year, earning a share of the conference title and winning the Holiday Bowl, but losses to Tennessee and Arizona haunted the Bears into this season. “It’s not something we’re going to talk about every day,” Tedford said — though he acknowledged mentioning the loss to Arizona in a team meeting just hours after last week’s 42-12 win over Louisiana Tech. “I addressed it ... just to remember that feeling of last year,” Tedford said. “We did some things in that game to beat ourselves, and we can’t allow ourselves to do that. ... You have to take advantage of big plays against these guys, because you’re not going to Photo by Jose Carlos Fajardo/Contra Costa Times California Golden Bear’s DeSean Jackson runs past the Tennessee Volunteer’s Denarius Moore as he returns a 77-yard punt for a touchdown in the second quarter of their game on Sept. 1. march the ball on them. It’s not going to happen. They’re just too solid.” Arizona coach Mike Stoops doesn’t share Tedford’s optimistic assessment of the Wildcats’ defense. His job security is a hot topic of discussion in Tucson after opening the season with losses to BYU and New Mexico, including last weekend’s 2927 defeat in which the Lobos chewed up Arizona’s vaunted secondary. “I just don’t think we’ve played very good up to this point,” Stoops said. “I thought we played better last year than we have up to this point, for whatever reason. You really can’t put your finger on anything. We’re just not playing a team defensive game. The pass coverage has been suspect, and obviously that will have to improve going into this game.” The top matchup will feature Jackson going against Arizona cornerback Antoine Cason. The two were friends growing up in Long Beach, Calif., and they threw playful trash talk at each other before last season’s game — and again at Pac-10 media day this summer. “We know each other real well,” Jackson said. “He’s a great corner, and I respect him a lot. He’s a great friend of mine, but when game time comes, there’s no friends.” The Wildcats installed a spread offense this season, but it won’t bother the Golden Bears, who already have seen two spreads this season — and go against three of the nation’s top receivers in practice every day. Cal’s biggest defensive concerns are injuries, since starting linemen Matt Malele and Rulon Davis and linebacker Zack Follett all seem unlikely to play. Tedford is hoping for four consistent quarters from his offense after tailback Justin Forsett carried an inconsistent passing game last week — and with a visit to No. 13 Oregon looming next week, the Bears have only one more game to get it right. “A lot of guys are going to go out there and play hard, because last year was embarrassing,” said receiver Lavelle Hawkins, who block-in-theback penalty in last year’s game nullified Marshawn Lynch’s 79-yard TD run. “That messed up our Rose Bowl out there.” THE UKIAH DAILY JOURNAL SPORTS SATURDAY, SEPT. 22, 2007 – 7 China blames Taiwan for scuttling Bonds Olympic torch relay through Taipei By CHARLES HUTZLER Associated Press Writer BEIJING — Bickering between rivals China and Taiwan forced Olympic officials to scuttle plans to include Taiwan in the torch relay for next year’s Beijing Olympics, with both sides accusing each other Friday of trying to play politics with the event. After 10 months of squabbling during which Beijing announced Taiwan’s participation in the relay only to have Taipei deny it, the International Olympic Committee notified both sides Thursday that their talks had reached a dead end. It said that the Taipei leg would be dropped. Recriminations burst into the open Friday. “China was not acting in good faith,” Taiwanese President Chen Shui-bian said. The Beijing Olympic organizing committee accused Taiwan of setting a “vile precedent” by refusing to participate and injecting politics into an event that symbolizes Olympic ideals. “Responsibility for the torch relay not going to Taipei totally lies with the Taiwan authorities for creating political hurdles, trying to politicize sports and not heeding the wishes of the people of Taiwan,” Jiang Xiaoyu, vice president of the Beijing organizing committee, told reporters in Beijing. Disagreements over the route recurred throughout the negotiations. But in the end Jiang and Chen suggested the talks foundered over Taiwan’s desire to fly its national flag during the relay — and Beijing’s insistence that doing so violated long-standing IOC rules governing Taipei’s participation in Olympic events. Failure to compromise on the torch relay underscores the deep mistrust between Beijing and Taipei, which split 58 years ago amid a still unresolved civil war. China’s communist government has since sought to bolster its claims to the island by getting other countries to drop diplomatic relations and force Taipei out of the United Nations and other international organizations. In a sign of Beijing’s influence, Taiwan is allowed to take part in the Olympics on condition it not use its national flag, seal or anthem at Olympic events, competing as “Chinese Taipei.” Meanwhile, the democratically governed island under an assertive President Chen has fought back, trying to fortify Taiwan’s independent status and resist Beijing’s claims of sovereignty. The collapse of the torch relay talks dealt a blow to the IOC, which has tried to portray the Olympics as a way to overcome political differences between even the most intractable of foes. Jiang, the Beijing Olympic committee official, said Taiwan was still invited to compete in the Aug. 8-24 games, but with Taipei ruled out, the torch would not stop elsewhere in Taiwan. It has yet to be decided, he said, whether the torch will now travel directly from Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam to Hong Kong, with the originally planned Taipei stop in the middle removed. Throughout the negotiations, Chen’s government disliked Taipei being sandwiched between Vietnam and Chinese-controlled Hong Kong, fearing that Beijing was using it as a way to blur Taiwan’s separate status. In April, Beijing announced its grandiose plans for the relay, including stops on Mount Everest as well as Taipei, only to have Taiwan immediately deny an agreement. Jiang said the Beijing Olympic committee made it clear that Taipei was among 22 cities on the route outside the mainland in the plan that was approved by the IOC and that Taipei Olympic officials agreed to. Jiang suggested that Taiwan Olympic officials ran into interference from political leaders who overrode the agreements made with Beijing. Steve Flesch takes lead at Turning Stone By JOHN KEKIS AP Sports Writer VERONA, N.Y. — Steve Flesch shot an 7-under 65 Friday to take sole possession of the lead after two rounds of the inaugural Turning Stone Resort Championship. Flesch, who began the day one shot off the lead, was at 13-under 131, one stroke ahead of first-round co-leader Jeff Gove (67) and Brendon de Jonge, who carded his second straight 66. Charles Warren (65) was alone in fourth at 11 under. Rookie Matt Hendrix, a former star at Clemson, had his second straight 67 and was tied for fifth at 10 under with Chris Stroud (65) and Charley Hoffman. Jeff Maggert (64) was another shot back, tied at 135 with Jeff Overton (65), Mathew Goggin (69), Briny Baird (66), Bill Haas (66) and three others. Joey Sindelar, from nearby Horseheads and a two-time winner of the B.C. Open, and Robert Gamez each shot a second straight 68 and were tied at 8 under with John Senden (70), Tag Ridings (69), Johnson Wagner (67), John Rollins (69), and four others. Chad Campbell, who had a share of the first-round lead, had an even-par 72 to remain at 7 under. With conditions again ideal on a hazy, humid day with temperatures in the 80s and a slight breeze, Flesch started at No. 10 and quickly built on his opening 66, making four birdies and an eagle for a record 30 on the back side of the forgiving 7,482-yard Atunyote Gold Club course, with its wide fairways and soft, smooth-rolling greens. Flesch hit a 3-wood to within 14 feet at the 562-yard, par-5 12th hole and made eagle to reach 9 under, birdied the next two holes and sank a 15-foot birdie putt at No. 18 to tie de Jonge for the lead at 12 under. “If I get that putting going, that’s my strength,” said Flesch, who has hit 34 of 36 greens in regulation. “It really makes the game a lot easier.” The lone blemish was a three-putt bogey from 35 feet on his final hole, which nullified a birdie putt at No. 8. If not for No. 9, Flesch would have had a bigger lead. He made double bogey there on Thursday. “I’ve just played it poorly,” he said. “My putter let me down. It’s all right. I made so many putts today.” De Jonge, a 27-year-old native of Zimbabwe and a former star at Virginia Tech, began to move up the leaderboard with an eagle at the 548-yard, par-5 fifth hole, hitting 3-wood to the right fringe and sinking a 26-foot putt. That made up for a bogey at No. 4, and he made four birdies on the back side to take the lead until Flesch came through a couple of hours later. “The position that I’ve put myself in coming into these last seven events, I have to play well,” said de Jonge, who has made only seven cuts in 20 events and is far down the money list. “You know, I’ve pretty much got nothing to lose. It’s almost, in essence, a seven-week tour school for me, so I have to play well.” Gove, who started at the 10th hole, finished with five birdies on a bogey-free round, tying de Jonge with a 3-foot birdie putt at the par-4 eighth hole. “Most of my play today I was staying in the moment, playing well, staying positive and trying to stay aggressive because the scores are low,” said Gove, who birdied two of his first three holes and then reeled off eight straight pars. “You’ve got to stay patient.

I divorced my husband, and Jerry’s been separated for three years. At some point, we decided to start dating and have had an onand- off relationship ever since. We always have a great time together, talk almost every day on the phone and see each other once or twice a week. Jerry said from the start that he didn’t want our relationship to be exclusive. He thought he owed it to himself to “see what else is out there,” as he’d been married to the same woman for 20 years. I begrudgingly accepted his terms. Periodically, Jerry will think we are talking and seeing each other too much. Of course, this breaks my heart because I am in love with him. We’ll stop seeing each other but are usually calling again within the week. He tells me he ANNIE’S MAILBOX By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar has feelings for me, but he doesn’t think he’s as “madly in love” as he believes he should be. So we end up in this on-again-off-again cycle, content and comfortable for several months until he steps back. The last time, I made an effort to date other men. I’m doing the Internet thing, but without much success. I really believe Jerry is scared of another marital disaster and just needs more time to figure out what he wants. His divorce is dragging. I want to hang in there but don’t want to be a doormat.

Let Jerry know you are interested in seeing him, but you are both free to date others. Keep looking. Dear Annie: There is a morbidly obese man in his mid-60s in my neighborhood who is constantly outside working in his yard with no shirt on. He’s sweaty and wears mid-length shorts so low that his “plumber’s crack” shows. He certainly could wear a bigger bra than I do. How do I go about letting this man know how gross he looks? Evidently his wife is oblivious. -- Arizona Dear Arizona: Sorry. Unless he’s working in your yard, you have no say in how he looks, how he dresses and what size bra he ought to wear. He may not be pretty, but this is one of those things neighbors put up with. If you don’t want to see him, close your blinds. Dear Annie: This is in response to “Desperate in Texas,” whose husband spends his paycheck on booze while she ends up paying all the bills, including putting aside gas money for his car.

If we had done better with our finances, we could have owned our own home by now, but because he drank up most of our assets, our credit is ruined. Please tell her to take some positive action. If he has no money for gas, let him find another mode of transportation. If she doesn’t pay his personal bills, he just might smarten up. He has to take responsibility for his own actions. I did not make him do this, and now I find myself -- Heading for Divorce Court in Montreal Dear Montreal: Thanks for your words of experience. Of course, for “Texas,” there is more going on than money mismanagement, and we hope she will get some help soon.

It is hard to say at this point whether the producers of the conference are visionaries or bandwagon jumpers, but it is a bandwagon and they are now driving it. In all honesty I have come to listen to the old rock stars, the ones who have been working with the same motivations for the last 35 years and are famous now only because a global movement has sauntered up behind them to offer carrying the torch. Dan Smith, for instance, is an architect out of Berkeley, who has spearheaded the design and code authoring of straw-bale building in the state. Some of his original designs were located in Anderson Valley at the Shenoa community in Philo. This project has been the germination for several other homes, including valley dwellers Mike and Maureen Bowman’s house on the eastern slopes of the valley. When I first saw the heart of their house, an entry, living, dining, kitchen area, I was amazed at the amount of glazing overlooking the western view of the valley. “The tradeoff with the highly insulative, straw-bale more than compensates for any loss of temperature to highly efficient glazing,” Mike Bowman assures me. Smith, in his talk, allayed my two fears concerning straw-bale: moisture invasion and structural integrity. Working with scientific testing labs he and his associates have determined exceptional load-bearing abilities in a plaster covered straw-bale configuration. Still, California code requires a minimal postand-beam structural component to mollify the seismic code requirements in our earthquake-prone area of the world. Minimal post-andbeam greatly reduces framing material. As for moisture infiltration, having the wall functioning as the skin to a conditioned interior space more than adequately dispels any buildup of moisture. Steve Wood, an associate at Ron Verdier Architects, of Boonville, was one of the builders of the Bowman house and recommended the Smith lecture. Acknowledging my cynicism, Steve recalls a quote from a forgotten philosopher who advocated having a pessimism of the mind while maintaining an optimism of the will. Ron Verdier concurs, “It starts with modesty. Saying you want to build green and then ask for a 6,000 sq. ft. house. That’s irresponsible. Can you imagine the resources it would take if everyone had a house that size?” Verdier likewise takes umbrage with magazines that hand out “green” awards to houses approaching these outlandish proportions. Cynicism aside, however, it is clear there is no longer an inkling of a viable debate concerning the human cost to the ozone and that a failure to change our current manners of construction cannot be sustained much past our generation. The conference is at the very least a confluence of bright, energized people who understand what is at stake. Web sites of presenters and some of the solutions being offered. David Ballantine is a designer/draftsperson and occasional writer working in Ukiah. He is in the planning stages of building a new home in the Anderson Valley, where he resides with his wife and son.
