Aerial school on marijuana
teaches how to spot plants
Local class draws agencies
from around the country
By BEN BROWN
The Daily Journal
Pilots from law enforcement agencies throughout the country have been
in Mendocino County this week learning to identify marijuana gardens from
the air at the Aerial Observation
School.
Forty-two students from across
California and as far away as the East
Coast have been flying above
Mendocino County’s national forests
and private forest land learning to spot
the illegal gardens.
“It’s the biggest class we’ve run,”
said Rusty Noe, commander of the
County of Mendocino Marijuana
Eradication Team.
Pilots and students fly deep into the
forests and try to find marijuana gar-
CITY OF UKIAH
dens that Noe and members of COMMET have already identified. Noe
said marijuana gardens can be recognized from the air because they are a
different color than forest undergrowth and the plants are laid out in
an ordered fashion..
Because of their size, Noe said he
had seen gardens as large as half a
mile across; pilots can often identify

Forty-two students and 10 helicopters from throughout
California and the U.S. came to Ukiah this week for the
Aerial Observation School, a training hosted by the County
of Mendocino Marijuana Eradication Team.

as CEO
Council
says yes
to budget
By KATIE MINTZ
The Daily Journal
The Ukiah City Council
approved the Fiscal Year
2006-2007 budget Thursday
morning, following a full day
of
budget
hearings
Wednesday. The budget
shows about $11.2 million in
appropriations, not including
those that will be made possible by Measure S sales tax
money.
Revenues are also expected to be about $1.4 million
more than they were in 20052006 at $10.7 million. The
Measure S sales tax is also
expected to bring in about
$1.8 million.
Other highlights include:
•About $1.2 million earmarked for Measure S expenditures to benefit public safety, which will be used to fund
several police and fire positions and purchase two police
patrol cars among other
things.
Other requests from the
Fire and Public Works
Departments
are
being
researched by staff for further
consideration at a City
Council meeting. Additional
proposals from the Fire
Department included requests
for a $22,000 swiftwater rescue boat and $20,000 for
updating Hazardous Materials
and Urban Search and Rescue
equipment. The Public Works
department requested adding
a project manager position
and also suggested four roads
projects for consideration,
one of which included
$250,000 to cover partial
costs of installing two traffic
signals at the Perkins Street
exit.

Tim Mitchell with GCCI Inc. of Santa Rosa works Tuesday to repair one of the flood damaged areas of Hopland Elementary School.
Hopland School being rebuilt
Some funding received,
but more is needed
By LAURA MCCUTCHEON
The Daily Journal
Ray Cook of Morten Smith Electric puts the final touches
on an outlet at Hopland School. Construction crews are
working to get the school ready by August and the start
of the new school year.
Money for renovating Hopland
Elementary School continues to
trickle in, but even the most generous donations don’t give Ukiah
Unified the cash flow it needs to
cover the cost of repairs to the
flood-damaged facility.
GCCI Incorporated, of Santa
Rosa, was hired in May to repair
structural damage to the school,
which was among the hardest hit in
the New Year’s Eve weekend
flood.
The cost of the project is estimated at around $1.2 million.

Summer school grant received
SH Cowell Foundation contributes
$75,000 to Ukiah Unified program
By LAURA MCCUTCHEON
The Daily Journal
One of Ukiah Unified’s lowest performing groups
of students will benefit most from a $75,000 grant
awarded to the district for its elementary summer
school program.
In fact, twice as many students this year, compared to last year, are enrolled in the English
Language Learners kindergarten-through-secondgrade summer program. This year’s six week program is also two weeks longer than last year’s.
When the Mendocino County Board
of Supervisors reconvened in open session after nearly two hours of closed session at Thursday evening’s special meeting called to appoint an interim chief
executive officer, things seemed eerily
similar to the day before.
But Chairman David Colfax delivered
surprising news. The seemingly split
board that decided to terminate CEO
John Ball’s services Wednesday afternoon had reached a unanimous decision.
With five votes of approval -Supervisor Hal Wagenet’s coming from
Monterey by teleconference -- Al
Beltrami was selected as the county’s
interim CEO, bringing a quarter-century
of experience to the table. Beltrami
served as Mendocino County’s chief
administrative officer from about 1965
until 1990 when he retired.
“The board anticipates that this
arrangement will be in place for approximately three to six months, during
which time the board and interim CEO
will prioritize the needs of the organization in preparation for recruitment for a
permanent CEO,” Colfax said in his
announcement.
Colfax then introduced Beltrami, who
thanked him from the entrance of the
supervisors’ chambers.
“Chairman, thank you for the opportunity of serving the county again -- for
a while,” Beltrami said.
During his expected short stint,
Beltrami hopes to come to the county
with a fresh view.
“It’s a serious, serious responsibility
right now with the situation as it is,”
Beltrami said. “I think following Mr.
Ball will be a difficult period, but I think
it’s also an opportunity.”
When Dolores Fisette, UUSD assistant superintendent of educational services, learned funding for
the program had been lost, she applied for an education grant. Her efforts paid off when the SH Cowell
Foundation awarded the district $75,000 of the
$177,544 the local elementary summer school costs.
“For the last two years Migrant Ed paid for a prevention program for K through 2 English learners,
however, their funding was cut and without the support of the SH Cowell Foundation we would not
have been able to offer summer school for this age,”
Fisette said.
“We also doubled the size. Last year we offered a

The Millview County Water District

request to purchase the water rights for

“We filed a petition with the State

County Water District. Millview has

“Final Inspection”
A dead soldier was facing
God,
For lives will always pass;
He hoped his shoes were
shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.
“Step forward now
How shall I deal with you;
Have you always turned the
other cheek,
To my Bible always true?”
The soldier snapped to
attention,
“No, Lord, I guess I aint;
It seems that we who carry
guns,
Can’t always be a saint.”
“I’ve had to work most
Sundays,
My work was always rough;
At times I have been violent,
Because the job was tough.”
“But, I never took a penny,
That wasn’t mine to keep;
Though I worked a lot of
overtime,
When my bills became too
steep.”
“I never passed a cry for help,
But often shook with fears,
And sometimes, God, forgive
me,
I have wept unmanly tears.”
“I know I don’t deserve a
place,
Among these good folks here;
They never wanted me
around,
Unless a war was near.”
“But if you have room for me,
It need not be too grand;
I never had, or needed much,
I’m sure you understand.”
A silence fell around that
throne,
Where saints had often trod;
The dead soldier, with baited
breath,
Feared judgment from his
God.
“Step forward now, U.S.
Soldier,
You’ve borne your burdens
well;
Walk peacefully on Heaven’s
streets,
You’ve done your time in
hell.”

The world briefly
Supreme Court rules Bush overstepped
bounds, blocks war crimes trials for
Guantanamo detainees
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court ruled Thursday
that President Bush overstepped his authority in ordering military war crimes trials for Guantanamo Bay detainees, saying in
a strong rebuke that the trials were illegal under U.S. and international law.
Bush said there might still be a way to work with Congress
to sanction military tribunals for detainees and the American
people should know the ruling “won’t cause killers to be put out
on the street.”
The court declared 5-3 that the trials for 10 foreign terror suspects violate U.S. military law and the Geneva conventions.
The ruling raises major questions about the legal status of the
approximately 450 men still being held at the U.S. military
prison in Cuba and exactly how, when and where the administration might pursue the charges against them.
It also seems likely to further fuel international criticism of
the administration, including by many U.S. allies, for its handling of the terror war detainees at Guantanamo in Cuba, Abu
Ghraib in Iraq and elsewhere.
Egypt says Hamas has agreed
to conditional release of Israeli soldier
has not yet accepted their terms, Egyptian President Hosni
Mubarak said in remarks published Friday.
In an interview with Egypt’s leading pro-government newspaper, Al-Ahram, Mubarak said “Egyptian contacts with several Hamas leaders resulted in preliminary, positive results in the
shape of a conditional agreement to hand over the Israeli soldier
as soon as possible to avoid an escalation.
“But agreement on this has not yet been reached with the
Israeli side,” Mubarak said.
Gideon Meir, a senior Israeli Foreign Ministry official, said
Israel did not know of such an offer and would have no comment until Friday.
“In general Israel’s stance is as the prime minister said earlier, that the soldier will only be released unconditionally and
there will be no negotiations with a gang of terrorists and criminals who abducted a soldier from Israeli territory. There is
nothing to talk with them about,” Meir told The Associated
Press.
U.S. military claims gains against
al-Qaida; nine bodies found in rivers
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) — The U.S. military claimed an
advantage in the fight against al-Qaida in Iraq on Thursday, saying raids since the death of its leader have forced many of its
foreign fighters out into the open to be captured or killed.
Iraq’s bloodshed continued. At least 46 deaths from violence
were reported across the country, including nine bullet-riddled
bodies pulled from rivers — apparent victims of sectarian death
squads.
Maj. Gen. William Caldwell, spokesman for U.S. forces in
Iraq, acknowledged Iraqi civilians were suffering most from the
insurgency, accounting for 70 percent of all deaths and injuries,
CAIRO, Egypt (AP) — Palestinian militants have agreed to
a conditional release of the kidnapped Israeli soldier but Israel

Abalone poaching
case arrests made
The Daily Journal
Three men have been
arrested on suspicion of
repeatedly poaching abalone
from an off-limits section of
the Fort Bragg coastline and
selling it to restaurants in San
Francisco, state Attorney
General
Bill
Lockyer
announced Thursday.
Lance Anthony Robles, 43,
of Fort Bragg, and Martin
Linn Holloway, 44, of Beaver
Marsh, Ore., were arrested on
suspicion of conspiracy to
harvest abalone and sell it
commercially, possession of a
controlled substance and misdemeanors for allegedly illegally catching and selling
abalone. Leroy Nicolas
Robles Jr., 41, of Fort Bragg,
was arrested on suspicion of
two felonies and one misdemeanor for allegedly harvesting abalone.
Lance Robles reportedly
sold his abalone to the China
House Restaurant in San
Francisco, and Leroy Robles
reportedly sold his to Bob’s
Sushi, also in San Francisco.
Lance Robles has two previous convictions on his record
for similar charges.
“Action is needed to prevent the Northern California
red abalone fishery from joining those fisheries that have
already collapsed,” Lockyer
said. “Poaching is the main
contributor to the demise of
this resource, and restaurants
that are purchasing illegally
caught abalone are also
responsible.”
The arrest of these three
men was made possible by
tips given to the Department
of Fish and Game left on its
CALTIP hotline. Anonymous
callers reported that Lance

and very appropriate for the time of year.
However, I would like to add to it.
There are more cars about in the summer,
and more children in those cars. When the
weather gets good the bikes and scooters
come out. Summer also brings tourists and
lots and lots of out-of-towners who have no
vested interest in our community other than to
enjoy its many attributes, eat, gas up an pass
through.
All the more reason to be more attentive. It
is hot and steamy, sometimes, and when temperatures rise so does temperament. Many are
not as polite or courteous as they would be
under other circumstances. We are, after all,
human.
So we all must be a little more on the ball
when transporting precious cargo like children, spouse, family members, friends, or
pets. Ms. Viera points out the sad results of
not paying attention to the fact that you may
be driving 2000-plus pounds of steel that is,
in effect, a killer.
Everyone has regrets later, and we all wish
we could push that “rewind” button during
certain times in our life, but once taken, a life

Castellanos at top
of competition
North Coast Congressman
Mike Thompson has announced
that Mayra Castellanos, a junior
at Ukiah High School, topped
seven entrants to win the
Mendocino County portion of the
24th annual Artistic Discovery
Competition.
Mayra’s winning artwork is a
watercolor and ink piece titled
“Pretentious Angel,” described
by judges as “reflective of the
current interest in Japanese
manga and increasingly,
American fashion illustration.”
The runner-up was Jisu Youn
of Mendocino Community High
School, who created an acrylic
painting entitled “The Sea Clef.”
Judges described the painting as
“pulled from imaginative sources
and carried out a broad range of
surrealism and post modern
invention with color and texture.”
The other entries included a
pencil portrait by Ayla Jewel of
Point Arena High School; a colored pencil and ink “Moon
Princess” by Jennifer Beauchamp
of Ukiah High; and photographs
entitled “Urban Rooftop” by
Ryan Keiffer of Ukiah High and
“Green Grass, Blue Skies, Seven
Months After Katrina in
Wakeland, Mississippi,” by
Heather Young of Ukiah Junior
Academy. Bob Rhoades, art professor at the College of the
Redwoods in Fort Bragg, judged
the entries.
As the Mendocino winner,
Mayra’s piece competed with
finalists from each of the seven
counties in the first congressional
district. The district-wide winner,
Kelly Gustafson of Woodland
High School, will have her art
displayed in the Capitol through
May of 2007.

Thank you
To the Editor:
There are many many people to thank
for making Ukiah’s 2006 Memorial Day
Parade the success that it was. First of all
those who so eagerly marched or rode in
the parade itself – and the imagination and
work that was put into their entries. And
secondly, all those who worked behind the
scene to make things come together. A very
special thanks to Capt. Trent Taylor of the
Ukiah Police Department (whose patience
and help provided this first-time-everparade organizer invaluable assistance) and
my sister, Barbara Webster (who not only
worked with me, but gave me some muchneeded moral support). Plus – and please
forgive me if I miss a few – the names of
those who provided so much assistance:
Charlie Kelly, Bob Parker, Jim Stephenson,
Jim Wilson, Rick Buckman, Gary Smith,
Alice Watkins, Cherie Blower, Joanne
Campbell, Marston Gillette, Sgt. Greg
Heitkamp, Jerry Whitaker, Richard Dale,
Chuck Johnston, Tim Norgard, Phil

again to everyone! P.S. The roses were

rising hate and intolerance, widespread ballot fraud, and the decline of civil liberties.
At this critical juncture in American history, the intolerant haters in Congress want to
discontinue any law that gives ordinary citizens a fair right to vote. It’s no wonder
that they want to terminate the Voting
Rights Act 1964. MLK is probably turning
over in his grave.

What are the
sports priorities?
To the Editor:
Would it be too much to expect to see a
compilation of the final statistics for the
NBA playoffs, or the final series in the
championship round, or at least, the final
game instead of the, at best, pointless AP
story about a college basketball game that
will occur more than six months in the
future, 1,000 miles from Ukiah? What are
your sports page space priorities? Let us
also honor fallen heroes, Terry, Howard,
Harris, not to mention Bell, Nash, Prince
and Hamilton, who are disposed of like
used Kleenex.
Robert Gold
Ukiah
Sports editor Tony Adame’s response:
Thank you for writing in. Regarding the
NBA Finals, we would have loved to have
gotten in all the statistics for the series.
However, with time constraints imposed by
deadlines and the uncertain length of playoff games (add one hour for advertising in
the postseason) we have had to plan accordingly with both the availability of pictures
and stories. Therefore, our coverage isn’t as
comprehensive as, say, USA Today. We actually were able to run a rather lengthy story
on the Tuesday’s final game between the
Mavericks and Heat, which included very
detailed statistics and a well-written summary of the game. Our sports page space
priorities are, if there are local sports happening, that’s the priority. If there are not
local sports going on, then we will refer to
the Bay Area to see what’s going on there,
then national sports. But local stuff comes
first, always. As far as honoring the fallen
heroes, a.k.a. Terry, Howard and Harris, I
have but one question: What about
Nowitzki?
Voting rights at risk
To the Editor:
The Mendocino County Martin Luther
King, Jr. Organization (McMLK) would
like to thank the following event providers
and others for their support and participation in the 3rd annual Mendocino County
Juneteenth Celebration, held Monday, June
19 at 1 :30 p.m. in Ukiah. Thanks to Joyce
and Reginald Wiles for sharing their stories
and their perspective about Juneteenth.
Thanks to the Stewarts for opening up their
home for the gathering. Thanks to those
who brought instruments and gave a brief
history lesson on the origin of the instruments and a special thanks to Gloria,
Woodrow, Kevin, Samantha and Gene for
providing traditional soul food (which is
not available everyday in Mendocino
County). Juneteenth is the oldest know celebration of the ending of slavery dating
back to 1865. It was June 19 that the Union
soldiers, led by Major General Gordon
Granger, landed at Galveston, Texas with
news that the war had ended and that the
enslaved were now free. One of General
Granger’s first order of business was to
read to the people of Texas, General Order
Number 3 which began with: “The people
of Texas are informed that in accordance
with a Proclamation from the Executive of
the United States, all slaves are free. This
involves an absolute equality of rights and
rights of property between former masters
and slaves, and the connection heretofore
existing between them becomes that
between employer and free laborer.” This
day was an important day in the history of
African Americans. “On the 1st day of
January, 1863, all persons held as slaves
within any state or a designated part of a
state the people whereof shall then be in
rebellion against the United States shall be
then, thence forward, and forever
free........” these were the words of
President Abraham Lincoln on September
22, 1862, as he read from the Emancipation
Proclamation. Classroom textbooks proclaimed Lincoln’s proclamation of January
1,1863 as the date signaling the ending of
slavery, but contrary to many history
books, the proclamation didn’t free many
slaves at all. One of the things many history books fail to note is that the state of
Texas didn’t oblige with the Emancipation
To the Editor:
Tens of thousands marched and many
lost their lives, including Martin Luther
King, Jr., during the Civil Rights movement. By 1965, Congress determined that
the existing federal anti-discrimination
laws were not sufficient to overcome the
resistance by discriminatory state officials
to enforcement of the 15th Amendment.

Proclamation until approximately two and
a half years after Lincoln’s proclamation
speech. However, many classroom textbooks state little or nothing on the impact
of General Granger’s arrival in Texas on
January 19. Later attempts to explain this
two and a half year delay of this important
information was: that the bearer of the
information was murdered on his way to
Texas with the news of freedom; or that the
information was deliberately withheld by
the enslavers to maintain the labor force on
the plantations. But, the truth is buried
along with the person(s) who ordered the
delay. In early years of Juneteenth celebrations historically, most of the festivities
were held in rural areas because there was
an outward resistances by many toward this
celebration, that resistance resulted in barring the use of public property for
Juneteenth festivities. McMLK Juneteenth
events have all of the elements of
McMLK’s, McUSA (music, celebration,
understanding, soul food). McUSA is
specifically designed for McMLK’s countywide Juneteenth event.

Flag or pole, or both?
To the Editor:
Is it about the flag or is it about the
pole? Mr. Piffero has erected a flag pole
which is 25 feet above the height which the
city allows on private residences. That is
25 feet higher than it is supposed to be
without asking for a permit. That is a lot of
feet!
According to city ordinances one can
fly any flag one wants to on one’s own
property and pole. I wonder what kind of
responses and letters to the editor there
would have been if Mr. Piffero had flown
the Mexican flag there instead of the
American flag. What response would there
be if someone was flying the Iraqi flag high
on the hillside? Or, perhaps a flag with a
woman in a bathing suit or two men hugging.
I think the problem here is that whatever happens on those beautiful Westside
hills, of which I live just below, affects the
visual delights of all that relish the natural
beauty of those hills. Sure, change is
inevitable. Differences of opinion there will
always be. And, people with power will
always try to exercise their power.
Perhaps some day there will be 25 flags
on 100 foot poles flying on those hills. My
goodness! This has created fuel for
thought. I believe that is a good thing.

You hear the complaint all the time from voters:
"There really is no difference between the political
parties. These guys are all the same."
And some politicians deliberately try to obfuscate
the differences that do exist. One example: Republican
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has very cleverly adopted a largely Democratic agenda for the last eight
months after plumping for a conservative Republican
agenda for the previous two years.
This leaves it up to his Democratic reelection rival
Phil Angelides to make it clear there really are major
differences, big reasons for voters to pick either him or
Schwarzenegger.
Angelides has been trying to do exactly that since
the June 6 primary election, traveling up and down the
state with the message that he is the "anti-Arnold" and
has been since the former muscleman actor took office.
So, to a degree, has Schwarzenegger, whose latest TV
commercials imply Angelides would impose new taxes
on all Californians, while he really advocates taxing
the extremely wealthy and closing corporate tax loopholes.
Angelides is trying to highlight not only major policy differences with Schwarzenegger, but also what he
maintains are personality differences.
Among the broken promises Angelides mentions
are Schwarzenegger's pledge never to take money
from special interests, then accepting more than $150
million in campaign donations from corporations and
other interests that either do business with the state or
fall under state regulations.
Another promise Angelides mentions was the
Schwarzenegger pledge to "tear up" the state's "credit
card" and do no more borrowing if voters passed two
2004 initiatives designed to help balance that year's
budget. Soon after those measures passed,
Schwarzenegger began plumping for $68 billion in
new construction and repair bonds.
"There's a difference between borrowing to balance
the budget and borrowing to build the state up," says
Schwarzenegger spokeswoman Julie Soderlund.
To Angelides, though, borrowing is borrowing.
"The list of broken promises is long, both in both
personal and policy areas," he said in an interview.
"With me, what I say is what I'll do."
And what he'd do is very different from what
Schwarzenegger has either done or wants to do.
"If I'm elected, within one month I'll sign a minimum wage increase with an annual inflation factor,"
Angelides pledges. Schwarzenegger twice vetoed bills
passed by the Legislature that would have created just
such an increase. But he tried to obfuscate this by asking the previously moribund state Industrial Welfare
Commission - which had not met in two years - to
order a $1 an hour minimum wage increase with no
indexing for inflation.
Angelides also pledges to make good on a promise
implied in many of his campaign commercials, which
complained that loopholes allow corporations and the
wealthy (annual family income over $500,000) to
escape about $10 billion in taxes "they ought to pay."
"I'm going to ask them to pay their share because
fair's fair," Angelides said. "If I win on this platform, I
believe I'll have a mandate for it, and I will collar legislators and get them to close those loopholes. Arnold
never will do that. I'm not afraid of asking corporations
and the rich to step up. He's afraid of asking this from
even one corporation or multi-millionaire.”
With the money he might raise, Angelides says he
will "roll back state college and University of
California tuition and fees raised by Arnold." And he
pledges to "fully fund" public schools. What about the
fact that Schwarzenegger's current budget brings
school funding back up to what's legally required?
"When I say fully funded, I don't mean just what's
legally required," Angelides said. "If we just keep
limping along, our economy will never really be strong
in the long term. We need to make our universities
financially accessible to more of our young people.
But if Arnold wins, tuition will go up. I won't do that.
I'm not running for governor by running up the flag of
surrender."
Then there's liquefied natural gas, where
Schwarzenegger supports building large terminals to
import foreign energy supplies, a tactic that would lock
in current high prices for decades to come, no matter
what happens on world markets.
"When the Legislature considered a bill to require
full hearings on environmental and economic aspects
of LNG, I was the only statewide official to back it,"
he said. "I'll insist on that if I'm elected."
All of which means there are contrasts in this election that go beyond the obvious difference between
Schwarzenegger's flamboyance and the Angelides policy wonk personality. Despite some surface appearances and the lapdog demeanor of top legislative
Democrats whenever they're around Arnold, there are
real choices here, real reasons to vote one way or the
other this fall.

Powe’s slip in stock may have been about knee
By Jeff Faraudo
ANG Newspapers
OAKLAND – After waiting nearly
four hours and watching players from
10 foreign countries selected ahead of
him, Cal sophomore Leon Powe finally heard his name called Wednesday
night in the NBA draft.
Then, 10 minutes after the Denver
Nuggets selected him with the 49th
pick, they traded his rights to the
Boston Celtics.
“I was going crazy,’’ Powe said of
the draft-night experience. “It wasn’t
fun at all . . . waiting and waiting and
waiting. I got kind of frustrated. But
I’m happy. Boston called and said they
were happy to have me.’’
Projected as possibly a late firstround selection or more likely an early
second-round pick, the Oakland Tech
High grad slipped below those predictions, perhaps because teams still are
worried about his twice surgically
repaired left knee.
The 6-foot-7 forward got a clean
bill of health from his surgeon after
Cal’s season, but apparently not everyone was convinced.
“Everywhere he went, he performed well,’’ said Aaron Goodwin,
Powe’s Oakland-based agent. “I think
it became a concern with the knee.
Some teams formulated their opinion
of Leon early on. We were fighting an
uphill battle.’’
“I think all of a sudden they started
worrying about my knee again,’’ said
Powe, who led the Pac-10 Conference
in scoring (20.5 ppg) and rebounding
(10.1 rpg) this season and worked out
for 10 NBA clubs over the past month.
“I had to show them either way. I
thought I did. I guess I’m going to
have to show them in Boston.’’
Players from Italy, Senegal,
Switzerland, Ukraine, Spain, Serbia,
Brazil, Israel, Belarus and England –
the latter a 6-foot-10 grocery store
bagger – were chosen before Powe.
Two similar, under-sized power forwards went sooner – Craig Smith to
Minnesota at No. 36 and Paul Millsap
to Utah at No. 47.
ESPN analyst Jay Bilas questioned
Powe’s decision to enter the draft with
two years of college eligibility remaining.
“He is a specimen – he’s really
strong,’’ said Bilas, speculating that
Powe’s health history was the issue.
“He needed to stay in school a little bit
longer. I’m not sure you leave school
this early to be picked at this point.”

San Francisco shortstop Omar Vizquel singles home Jason Ellison for the go-ahead run Thursday during the eighth inning of the Giants 2-1 win over Texas Thursday in San Francisco.
Giants pick up their first three-game home sweep since April 2005
By JANIE McCAULEY
The Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — Omar
Vizquel’s go-ahead single with two
outs in the eighth inning sent the San
Francisco Giants to a 2-1 victory over
the Texas Rangers on Thursday, completing a three-game sweep.
Jason Ellison hit a sacrifice fly to
drive in the Giants’ first run in the second and scored on Vizquel’s single to
right off Francisco Cordero, who
relieved Scott Feldman (0-2) after he
allowed Ellison’s leadoff walk and a
sacrifice bunt by Eliezer Alfonzo.
Cordero came in to face pinch-hitter
Jose Vizcaino with one out, and
Vizcaino grounded out to shortstop to
move Ellison to third.
Jonathan Sanchez (2-0) recorded
two outs in the seventh for the win, getting Mark Teixeira to ground into an
inning-ending double play. Jeremy
Accardo finished for his third save.
Texas lost its fifth straight game and
has scored only 11 runs during the skid.
This marked the Rangers’ first losing
road trip of the year (1-5).
The Giants had their first three-game
home sweep since April 8-10, 2005,
against Colorado.
Vizquel had two hits and Pedro Feliz
had a hit and scored a run for the
Giants, who faced a left-handed starter
for the second consecutive game.
San Francisco ended a 6-3 homestand and now leaves town for a seasonlong 11-game road trip against its NL
West foes — San Diego, Colorado and
Los Angeles — leading into the AllStar break. The trek includes a doubleheader Saturday against the Padres to
make up an early rainout.
Jason Schmidt, making his first
career appearance against Texas, saw
his winless stretch reach four starts
with his third no-decision during that
span since winning six straight deci-
sions. He still has a six-game home
winning streak.
After allowing a leadoff single to
Gary Matthews Jr. to start the game,
Schmidt got nine straight outs before
Mark DeRosa’s triple to right-center
leading off the fourth. DeRosa scored
to tie the game at 1 on Teixeira’s fielder’s choice after third baseman Feliz
booted a routine grounder by Michael
Young for an error.
Feliz was part of a great play in the
fifth, when the Giants turned a rare 5-64 double play. Feliz charged John
Koronka’s bunt, threw to shortstop
Vizquel covering third, then Vizquel
fired to second baseman Ray Durham
at first to get the pitcher.
Schmidt escaped a jam in the seventh.
With runners on first and second
with one out, he got pinch-hitter Jason
Botts to fly out, then ended the threat
when Matthews grounded out.
WIMBLEDON, England —
Venus Williams waited until the
last minute to get going.
Down a set and 5-2, the
defending champion won 11 of
the next 13 games to stave off a
huge upset and beat Lisa
Raymond 6-7 (4), 7-5, 6-2 on
Thursday in the second round at
Wimbledon.
The three-time champion was
two points from defeat, when
Raymond served for the match
leading 5-3 in the second set,
before she roared back to overcome the 84th-ranked American.
At one stretch, Williams won
34 of 39 points, including 18 in a
row. She won six of her last
seven service games at love, and
closed out the match with her
11th ace.
French Open champion
Rafael Nadal pulled off a similar
escape, coming back from two
sets down to defeat 237thranked American qualifier
Robert Kendrick on Centre
Court.
Kendrick, who plays mainly
on the lower-tier challenger circuit, came within two points of
victory in the fourth set before
the Spaniard took charge to win
6-7 (4), 3-6, 7-6 (2), 7-5, 6-4. It’s
only the second time Nadal has
come back from a two-set
deficit.
Nadal will next face Andre
Agassi, who beat Andreas Seppi
of Italy 6-4, 7-6 (2), 6-4 to
extend his run in his 14th and
final Wimbledon.
The 36-year-old American,
the oldest player in the men’s
draw, dropped serve only once
— while serving for the second
set — and broke three times to
subdue the 68th-ranked Seppi.
Just as he had after his opening round win Tuesday on
Centre Court, Agassi received a
raucous standing ovation from
the fans on Court 1. Agassi, who
won the first of his eight Grand
Slam titles here in 1992,
announced last weekend that he
will retire after the U.S. Open in
September.
Maria Sharapova, the 2004
women’s champion, overpowered Ashley Harkleroad 6-2, 6-2
in 67 minutes. The match was
slightly tougher than her 51minute 6-2, 6-0 win the previous
day over Anna Smashnova.
“I didn’t think I had a enough
of a challenge to see where my
game was at in the first round,”
the third-seeded Russian said.
“The points were very quick.
But today I played a few rallies
and I definitely did a lot of good
things.”
MLB | ATHLETICS 6, PADRES 5 (14 INNINGS)
Bases loaded walk pushes A’s past San Diego
By BERNIE WILSON
The Asssociated Press
SAN DIEGO — Pinch-hitter Antonio Perez drew a
bases-loaded walk with two
outs in the 14th inning, and
the Oakland Athletics edged
the San Diego Padres 6-5
Thursday to avoid a threegame sweep in a matchup of
the top two teams out West.
After Oakland closer
Huston Street squandered a
two-run lead in the ninth, the
A’s rallied against Scott
Cassidy (4-4) without getting
a hit. They had three walks,
including one intentional, a hit
batsman and a sacrifice.
Perez, hitting .082, got
ahead of Cassidy 3-0. The
right-hander
threw
two
strikes, then missed outside to
bring in Marco Scutaro, who
drew a leadoff walk.
Ron Flores (1-1) held San
Diego to one hit in four
innings for the win.
Padres right fielder Brian
Giles ended the top of the 11th
by throwing out Mike Rouse,
who tried to score the goahead run on Jason Kendall’s
single. Giles gloved the short
hop and threw a one-bouncer
to catcher Josh Bard, who
went up the first-base line to
field it, then dove and swipetagged Rouse.
Chad Gaudin pitched the
14th for his second save. With
two runners on, Giles lined
into a game-ending double
play — Mike Cameron was
doubled off second by second
baseman Rouse.
The Padres twice tied the
game in the late innings
Bard hit a two-run single
off Street with two outs in the
ninth to tie the score at 5. The
runs were unearned because
of first baseman Dan
Johnson’s error on a pickoff
attempt. It was Street’s second
consecutive blown save and
sixth this season.
Street walked Josh Barfield
and pinch-hitter Mike Piazza
to open the ninth before
Cameron’s
comebacker
moved Barfield to third and
forced pinch-runner Ben
Johnson at second. Street
faked a throw to third and
caught Cameron off first, but
Johnson dropped the throw
and the ball rolled into foul
territory, allowing Cameron to
take second.

cannot be restored. A leg may
never support a body again,
or a body may never function
perfectly as it did once, after
an automobile accident.
About two years ago I was
broadsided by a young man
borrowing his dad’s SUV. He
was a really nice young man,
but his inattention caused me
to have my knee replaced. I
am OK, and I survived, but
he will never forget the fact I
could not function for awhile,
as I was stunned after also
hitting my head against the
side window. I am sure the
fear he felt was staggering.
In one wrong decision to
pull out too fast onto a street
where he could not safely see
left and right, his life and
mine, changed forever. I felt
more sorry for him than I did
for myself and tried very hard
to console him- he was so
upset.
Last week coming from an
appointment I was literally
creeping (thankfully) trying
to cross Main Street behind
the Victory Theater when two
young girls about 11-12 were
on bikes, clearly enjoying the
warm sunny day, and looking
quite cute on their bikes,
toodling around the area.
As I crossed Main, one of
the girls made a quick, unexpected turn across the path of
my car within one foot of the
bumper. I hit my “stop-on-adime” brakes so hard I almost
hit the windshield. The other
girl had stopped on her bike
and watched the scene and I
opened my window, and told
her to tell her friend that I
almost hit her and to be more
careful. I wasn’t yelling or
angry, but very concerned.
She nodded and I looked over
to my right where the other
girl had driven her bike in the
Victory Theater parking lot
and she was heading towards
me with a pinched up face
and holding her hand up
shaking it and flipping me
off!
I could not believe what I
saw. She may have looked
cute and innocent but she
clearly was not and was playing with fire doing that to a
complete stranger. I left the
scene just shaking my head
and Greg Frost. July 12 brings the Willits 4-H
rabbit group. July 19 will be animal action

Third annual
‘Legends’ Run coming
On Friday, July 28 and Saturday, July 29,
Ukiah commemorates and celebrates two
Native American foot races. The ultra-
thinking “what is the world
coming to?” and very frustrated. Her parents I am sure
would be appalled at her
behavior and very angry that
she so carelessly risked her
life.
Then I read another Letter
to the Editor from Gerald F.
Bond regarding his experience at a 4-way stop where a
woman flipped him off, and
thus this article was written.
What act could make anyone
so angry that they would hurl
this filthy, non-verbal insult
to a complete stranger?
What background does
such a person come from, and
what do they do when they
really get angry? And remember, this raging, irrational personality is behind the wheel
of this same 2000-plus lb.
killer driving around among
us? The girl that flipped me
off, though ill-mannered is
still a kid, and somehow saw
this behavior from someone.
So the bad behavior perpetuates.
I have one more interesting
road-rage story to share. A
gentleman I dated about a
year ago, told me that he had
frequently dated a very nice
professional woman. He
described her as a classy, well
dressed, and easy going
woman. He even considered
marriage. He was always the
driver during their dates. One
day his car broke down and
he called and asked her to
pick him up to take him
home. She gladly obliged and
within minutes after he got in
the passenger side, he saw an
unbelievable transformation
occur.
This woman changed her
entire persona. She was
swearing at the other drivers,
flipping them off, opening the
window and yelling and cutting off others. He could not
believe it and never called her
again. He told me that it was
the most clear case of road
rage he had ever witnessed
and it scared the heck out of
him.
I suppose that is what is
happening behind the wheels
of many cars. Some people
we know, some are strangers,
so we must be aware.
Flipping someone off is an
action that may get a “reaction” and I think one is taking a big risk to attempt it.
Someone may have a gun or
knife or just get out of the
car, and do who knows what?
That young girl on the bike

U.S. Highway 101 and U.S. Highway 199
connected San Francisco to Grants Pass,
Oregon, in the 1920s. Eager to promote travel
and tourism along this route, The Redwood
Empire Association in San Francisco and The
Caveman Association of Grants Pass promoted the “Redwood Highway” by staging a
marathon from San Francisco to Grants Pass,
480 miles, the “longest race of its kind in history.”
The first Redwoods Marathon was held in
1927, the second (and last) in 1928. Given
the length and difficulty of the event the participants were all Native Americans, a people
that historically had integrated running into
their culture. The 1927 event was won by a
23-year-old Karuk named Mad Bull with a
winning time of 7 days, 12 hours and 34 minutes. In the 1928 event the second place finisher was a 62 year old Zuni who had run
from northern New Mexico to San Francisco
just to enter the race.

know how I would react. If I
was a hot head, who knows
how I would have retaliated?
So if you have family that
drive cars or bikes, especially
youngsters- sit down and
have a little talk. Talk about
safe bicycling rules and laws,
defensive driving, and keeping your cool behind the
wheel or handlebars.

$69,650 approved
for forest projects
On June 16, the Mendocino County
Resource Advisory Committee for the
Mendocino National Forest approved, by
unanimous vote, funding to benefit the
National Forest.
• $10,800 will be used to improve a landslide area. Local Native American and/or
school nurseries will collaborate with volunteers, the California Conservation Corps, and
the Forestry Service to improve land health
and water quality in the landslide area.
• $52,000 was earmarked to create shaded
fuel breaks near Howard Lake, a popular
camp site used primarily by county residents.
Shaded fuel breaks help slow the destructive
force of catastrophic wildfires by providing an
escape route for campers and a safer access
for fire crews.
• Educational signs giving geographic and
topographical information will be placed at
frequently visited sites in the forest with an
additional $6,850.
Local groups or individuals are invited to
attend RAC meetings and apply for funding.
Meetings are convened the third Friday of
each month from 9 a.m. to noon at the
Mendocino County Museum in Willits. Call
Roberta Hurt at 983-6118 for more info.
By the way, adult bike riders are equally as careless
about the rules, and are
putting themselves at risk
with their disregard for the
law. I realize the police are
understaffed, but I sure wish
there was a police officer on
a bicycle around town. I think
the city would make big
bucks fining adults as well as
kids and teens on two wheels.
So drive safe out there
folks. There are people who
care about you, and have
families they care about. And
to Ms. Viera and Mr. Bondsyou are not alone in your
frustrations. Add me to the
list.
Remember, Out of the
Mud, Grows the Lotus.

MTA’s summer
schedule now in
effect
The Mendocino Transit
Authority (MTA) has introduced revised summer bus
schedules for the Inland service, the Ukiah Valley service

McMLK to hold
2nd annual
‘Freedom of
Expression Events’
in September
The Mendocino County
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Organization (McMLK) will
hold “Freedom of Expression
Events” on Sunday, Sept. 17
and Monday, Sept. 18. Both
events will take place at the

chambers at 300 Seminary
Ave. at 6 p.m.
The program for Sunday
will include a seven member
panel discussion regarding
the United States
Constitution. Audience participation and public comments
are encouraged.
The program for Monday
will involve students in
Mendocino County expressing their perspective of “what
is freedom and equality,” and
“what does freedom and
equality mean to them.”
The events are in recognition and support of a federal
law that requires the federal
government and any school
receiving federal funding to
have Constitution-related
activities on or around
September 17, the day the
document was adopted in
1787.
McMLK’s freedom of
expression event and projects
is based on the fundamental
fact that we are all entitled to
live in a free and just society.
The events are provided to
the public by McMLK and

and Leroy Robles were diving
for abalone behind a rental
house in Fort Bragg, an area
that has been designated as
off-limits to commercial
abalone harvest.
Anonymous callers also
stated that Lance and Leroy
Robles were harvesting well
above the legal limit and selling their catch to restaurants.
The arrests were part of an
extensive
sturgeon
and
abalone poaching bust that
targeted 20 people and
involved 29 teams of game
wardens.
Commercial abalone fishing was banned in Northern
California
in
1949.
Recreational harvesting is
limited to three per day with
an annual limit of 24. The
North Coast is considered to
have the least viable population of red abalone in the
world.
Those who harvest abalone
recreationally
are
only
allowed to use skin-diving
gear or harvest them off the
rocks during extreme low
tides.
It is also illegal to purchase
wild abalone, and each violation is punishable by a maximum of six months jail time
and a $1,000 fine. The
abalone served in most
restaurants comes from farms.
Though once abundant,
abalone numbers have dwindled along the North Coast
due to overfishing. Abalone
are easily overfished because
their reproduction cycle is
slow and infrequent, occurring only once every seven to
15 years.
Anyone with information
regarding illegal poaching is
encouraged

from

many of the book titles lost,
said UUSD Superintendent
Ray Chadwick. who extended
his thanks to the community.
FEMA funds have also
come in, but the district is still
short about $900,000.
“FEMA has concluded its
inquiry and has funneled
money for repairs of the
Hopland School project into
the California Office of
Emergency
Services,”
Chadwick said. “That office
has issued us four checks
totaling $203,125, which
doesn’t nearly cover the cost
of the project,” he said.
The district plans to
approach the state to apply for
a Facilities Hardship Grant to
make up the shortfall.
Meanwhile, money set aside
to

used upfront to carry the pro-

Other positions include two

Hopland Elementary is
expected to reopen at the
beginning of the new school
year. Following the flood, students and staff were relocated
to Oak Manor and Nokomis
schools.
“They (construction crews)
are making excellent progress
and we are on schedule to
open in August,” the superin-
tendent said. “It’s a two phase

we look at our subgroups of

gap between all students and

one of two groups of students
in the Ukiah Unified School
District that are the lowest
performing academically,”
she said, noting Special
Education students are the
other group.
English Language Learners
are at a disadvantage, she said,
because they are held to the
same standards as their
English-only peers, yet they
are learning the core curriculum while they are also learn-
ing English.

them from as high as 500 or
600 feet. Noe said it is actually easier to recognize marijuana gardens from higher up
because it gives officers a
fuller view of the area.
“The lower you fly, the
harder it is to see it,” Noe
said.
Mendocino County has
been hosting the observation
school since 1998 with the
help of the Butte County
Sheriff’s Department, Placer
County law enforcement, the
National Guard and the Drug
Enforcement Agency, among
others.
“The whole situation is a
collaborative effort,” Noe
said.
Mendocino County hosts
the school because there are
many large marijuana gardens
in the area. Officers also come
to take advantage of the
expertise of Noe and the officers on COMMET.
Aerial identification of
marijuana gardens is essential
to fighting the cultivation of
marijuana, Noe said. COMMET receives some of its tips
from the public, but most
large gardens are hidden deep
in the woods where people
aren’t going to see them.
Noe said he has been seeing more and bigger gardens
Water
this,” Bradley said.
The Masonite property has
been closed for several years
now, and the possibility of
losing the water rights in the
future was a concern. “That
can happen,” said Roland
Sanford, general manager of
the Mendocino County Water
Agency. “You might lose
those rights if you don’t use
the water.”
The purchase price of the
water rights is set, but the
total acre feet depends on the
State Water Resource Control
Board. “Right now the price
for the water rights are $1,000
per acre feet, but we won’t
know how much the total cost
will be until we hear from the
board about how many acre
feet they approve,” Bradley
said. “We are unsure of the
total, so it will be whatever
they approve.”
Bradley said the maximum
amount anticipated that
Millview could be approved
for is about 1,250 acre feet,
but when it will receive the
state’s answer is unclear. “We
are unsure how long it will be
’til they approve the petition,”
Bradley said.

this year than in previous
years. He said he wasn’t sure
why that might be.
“It goes in cycles,” he said.
“This is the year they’re going
for broke.”
Noe said the heavy rains
that plagued Mendocino
County until March have
slowed the marijuana crop.
He said COMMET has been
seeing baby plants and plants
in nurseries, two things that
are almost unheard of this late
in the season.
Smaller plants may mean a
later harvest season for many
marijuana growers. Normally,
the harvest season runs
between July and October. It
is also during this season that
COMMET performs raids on
identified marijuana gardens.
COMMET often works
with the California attorney
general’s Campaign Against
Marijuana Planting to raid
gardens and eradicate plants.
In 2005, CAMP seized and
destroyed 1,134,692 marijuana plants, which had an estimated street value of $4.5 billion.
In 2005, COMMET raided
more than 397 marijuana gardens in Mendocino County
and eliminated 144,159 marijuana plants.
The Aerial Observation
Training School will continue
training through Friday.

“He was the longest running CAO in the state of

Wattenburger said. “He’s very

keeps it on a business level

Wattenburger did not support the decision to remove
Ball from his position but is
optimistic for the future of the

Evacuation order
for Wilkes-Barre,
Pa., lifted
TRENTON, N.J. (AP) —
Muddy, coffee-colored floodwaters poured into homes,
basements and stores on both
sides of the Delaware River
and rose as high as the street
signs Thursday in some of the
worst flooding to hit the
Northeast in decades. At least
15 deaths were blamed on the
deluge. The city of WilkesBarre in Pennsylvania’s coal
country was spared when the
newly raised levees held back
the raging Susquehanna
River, and officials lifted an
evacuation order covering
200,000 people. But other
communities drenched by
days of record-breaking rain
were not as lucky. Along the
swollen
and
still-rising
Delaware River, thousands of
people were driven from their
homes and officials closed 10
bridges connecting New
Jersey and Pennsylvania.

FOOD: Bay Area ballpark cuisine
By STEVE DULAS
The Oakland Tribune
T
ake me out to the ball game, Take me
out with the crowd. Buy me some
chowder and a turkey panini ...
You can still find peanuts and Cracker Jack
at the ballpark. But the traditional staple, an
old-fashioned hot dog on a steamed bun with
a big swipe of mustard, seems to be passe.
"I think it's good that people can get more
than just hot dogs," says Amber Johnson of
Aramark, the concessionaire which handles
food at McAfee Coliseum in Oakland.
Make that way more than just hot dogs.
Oh, you can still find a hot dog at the game steamed or grilled - but there is plenty to tantalize the adventurous and tempt the timid.
AT&T Park
Across the bay at AT&T Park in San
Francisco, it is possible to spend the entire
game searching for different food choices (but
don't worry, there are dozens of TV screens
throughout the park so you can watch the
game while standing in line for a barbecue
sandwich, a seafood salad sandwich or pizza).
Maybe the best way to pick out your food
at a Giants game is to arrive an hour before
the first pitch and stroll around the park on
the Promenade level.
The Promenade - the walkway behind the
lower deck seats that runs all the way around
the park, is like a carnival. Every few feet the
offerings, and the smells, change.
Garlic lovers, head for the third base side
of the park. Not far from one of the park's
nine Gordon-Biersch garlic fry stands is a
new entry this year - Taste of North Beach.
The first item on its menu is the Forty Clove
Garlic Chicken Sandwich from the Stinking
Rose, San Francisco's popular North Beach
restaurant.
My companion and I amble on a little (the
garlic fries can wait for later) and land on a
bratwurst from one of three Say Hey Sausage
stands in the park. The brat is tasty, but seems
to be steamed, not grilled, and is served in a
warm, soft bun.
The best spot in the park for the diner who
wants something truly different is in the centerfield plaza behind the scoreboard (next to
the giant Coke bottle slide and the Build-ABear Workshop). The plaza features an outdoor dining area with a terrific view of San
Francisco Bay. Next to the seating area is
Fresh Catch, which features crab, shrimp and
lobster salad on torpedo rolls. (A couple of
Boudin Bakery stands offer clam chowder in
a bread bowl.) We share a crab roll, though its

delicate flavor is overpowered by the garlic
fries.
Nearby is Orlando's, Caribbean cuisine
from Giants Hall of Famer Orlando Cepeda's
family recipes. Downstairs, at Big Guy
Barbecue, is a pretty good pulled pork sandwich, right next to a piece of history. The
sandwich needs a little more barbecue sauce
(which is available at the counter) and is best
served hot. The history is just a few feet away
- the Big Guy Barbecue adjoins the hot dog
stand where Barry Bonds' 715th home run
was caught.
The other dining hot spot is at the end of
the Promenade on the first base side. In addition to Port Walk Pizza (which has garlic fries
and a very short line) the area also has the
new California Cookout, though we don't try
the Ahi tuna fillet sandwich this time. When
you want something stronger than a soda or
coffee, the Mission Creek Cantina is there to
serve up a cold one.
The traditionalists haven't been forgotten.
There are 10 Doggie Diners throughout the
park, with old-fashioned hot dogs, peanuts,
popcorn and (just like the song) Cracker Jack.
Susan and Marc Rankin of San Francisco
settled on some traditional hot dogs since it
was their 2 1/2-year-old son Connor's first trip
to the ballpark. The Rankins, recently relocated from Seattle, say they're a little disappointed with the family's first AT&T dining experience. "In Seattle (at Safeco Field, the
Mariners' home park) they had better hot dogs
and better Polish (sausages)," says Susan.
For the health-conscious, veggie burgers,
veggie dogs and turkey burgers are available
at the four John J. McGraw Derby Grills. It
seems, though, that many fans choose to leave
their dietary cares at the ticket gate. On this
chilly night, the line at the Ben & Jerry's
stand was nearly as long as the line for the
women's room.
Bring your appetite, and bring your wallet:
The bratwurst from Say Hey Sausage was
$5.50, the garlic fries are $6.25, and the exotic sandwiches start at about $9.

Rock Paper
Scissors in
a renaissance
By CANDACE MURPHY
The Oakland Tribune
As usually happens, the
argument is unresolvable.
But in this case, the more
familiar problems needing
solving - who will take out
the trash, who gets to ride
shotgun, who has to pay the
drink tab - are absent.
Instead, these two men
have juris doctor degrees, are
embroiled in an insurance
lawsuit and cannot agree
about where to conduct the
deposition of a witness.
So at the order of a federal
judge in Florida, the two
lawyers will settle their dispute the old-fashioned way.
On June 30 they will convene
at a neutral site and engage in
a solitary game of Rock Paper
Scissors.
`Ì think it's great the judge
ordered Rock Paper Scissors
for conflict resolution,'' says
Matti Leshem, co-commissioner of the USA Rock Paper
Scissors League, headquartered in Los Angeles. ``But
let's make sure they're playing
by the rules.''
Thought to be one of the
oldest children's games, Rock
Paper Scissors - also called
RPS and Roshambo - is in the
midst of a renaissance. While
the Florida judge's ruling certainly swiveled a spotlight on
the game, RPS has enjoyed a
groundswell of popularity
over the past months.
To wit:
A monthly RPS podcast - a
full 30 minutes devoted to
RPS news, interviews with
players and game strategy launched earlier this month.
An RPS documentary written, directed and produced
by Mike McKeown of
Alberta, Canada, and titled
``Rock Paper Scissors - The
Movie'' - is soon to be
released.
The first official stateside
organization - the aforementioned USA RPS League was formed last year.
One time journeymen players - like Master
Roshambolla, often called the
Bobby Fischer of RPS, and C.
Urbanus, a legend out of
Philadelphia - are now household names.
And, finally, any RPS list
would be remiss if it didn't
mention the rogue game that
broke out earlier this year on
reality television juggernaut
``Survivor.'' Settling the argument of who would be the
first to spend the night on
comfort-free Exile Island,
RPS not only met the needs
of those stymied decisionmakers, it sealed itself in pop
cultural history.
``We're in an RPS boom
right now,'' says Alex Apter,
co-host of RPS Radio, the
monthly podcast available at
rpsradio.com and on iTunes.
``We could easily go weekly.
There's so much material out
there right now.''
Though growing in stature
on these shores, RPS is
worldwide. A sport that
evolved from the decisionmaking game akin to flipping
a coin, drawing straws or
counting out a solid eeniemeenie-minie-moe, RPS is
known in various parts of the
globe as Janken, Shnik Shnak
Shnuk, Ching Chong Chow,
Farggling and Scissors Paper
Stone.
Its universality owes to its
simplicity: Game players
choose one of three signs,
throw it at an appointed time,
and the superior throw wins.
According to international
rules, rock beats scissors;
scissors beats paper; and
paper beats rock.
Dynamite, contrary to
some unethical rule-bending
on various American playgrounds, does not exist and is
not a fourth option for a
throw.
``The rules are simple, and
clear,'' says Leshem, 43, noting that the RPS League's 10
rules - or, as he prefers, commandments - are listed on his
organization's Web site
(www.usarps.com). ``People
start playing it very, very
young, and can play it up
until they're on their deathbed.
It's the perfect sport. What
other sport are you equipped,
out of the womb, to play?''
While RPS' history is no
doubt rich, a founding date
for the game is unknown.
Most RPS veterans throw
their hands up in futility when
asked to pinpoint when the
first decision by RPS was
made, allowing only that the
invention of scissors traces
back, according to some
archeologists, to 1500 B.C.
Others maintain that the game
was invented in Japan, where
it's called Jan Ken Pon.
Others cast the net back even
further.
``RPS has been played
since the caveman days when
it was known as Rock Rock
Rock," maintains Leshem of
the RPS League. ``Mostly,
cavemen died of exhaustion
because it was very difficult
to determine winners.''
Though it's tempting to
cast off RPS as just another
fringe sport - where sport is in
quotation marks and comparisons to other seemingly
unathletic activities like
backgammon and competitive
eating lie close by - it's all
serious business. At least, it
must be, if controversy within
its athletes' ranks is any indication.
That dispute lies in the fact
that there are two competing
governing bodies for the
sport. The first is the World
RPS Society (worldrps.com),
founded by Graham and
Douglas Walker, headquartered in Canada, represented
by the motto, ``Serving the
needs of decision makers
since 1918'' and bearing a
coat of arms of, well, arms throwing rock, paper and scissors.
The other is the newly
formed USA RPS League,
which is sponsored by Bud
Light, resides in cyberspace
on MySpace and just last
April wrapped up its first RPS
tournament with a cash purse
of $50,000.
The USA RPS' Leshem
scoffs at the World RPS
Society's claim to global
stature, likening it to any
American football team who
claims the title of world
champion after winning the
Super Bowl.
While the World RPS
Society had no response - a
phone call placed to Douglas
Walker of the World RPS
Society in interest of providing equal time was not
returned in time for publication - students of the game
say such growing pains are to
be expected when a sport
breaks out from the underground and goes mainstream.
For some, it's been bittersweet
to watch.
`Ànything that gets people
interested in RPS as a sport is
fantastic,'' says RPS Radio's
Apter, 28. ``But it is sad to
see something that came from
such passion, and wake up
and see it on Bud Light labels
and on an A&E special. But I
guess that happens with any
sport.''
The real question that
remains unanswered is just
how much more RPS can
grow. Locally, RPS is bursting
at the seams, or at least it
seems to be to Naomi
Brilliant, president of the
unconventional Roshambo
Winery in Healdsburg, which
held its fourth Rock Paper
Scissors contest June 3.
While the first tournament
had just 84 competitors, this
year's drew 256, with Kristen
Lantz, a 28-year-old resident
of Philadelphia, taking home
the $1,000 first place prize
and trophy. Adding to the
drama was the New York film
crew present, in town to tape
the competition for ``CBS
Sunday Morning.''
``We started out really
small. Basically, after we
named the winery, it just
made sense to have a small
competition,'' says Brilliant,
33. `Ì always liked the idea
of the game - you don't have
to be a jock, and anyone can
do it.''

McAfee Coliseum
Remember the old railcar
luncheon in "Diner?" That's
what the Coliseum would be
on a smaller scale: Nothing
worthy of a three-star restaurant, but there are some good
things on the menu. If they
served breakfast at the
Coliseum, it would be two
eggs over-easy with crisp
bacon, slightly greasy hash
browns and toast - not elegant, but satisfying.
The utilitarian Coliseum (it
remains one of the few major
league stadiums built to
accommodate baseball and
football) has a much more
scaled-down menu than
AT&T Park. But when it
comes to the established standards for baseball fans, the
Coliseum does it pretty well.
The A's replaced their old
steamed standby, the Colossal
Dog, with the vastly
improved Grilled Coliseum
Dog ($4.50). My last
encounter with a Colossal
Dog, during a high school
football playoff game here,
left a bad taste in my mouth literally. The dog was undercooked and tasted more like
Vienna sausage.
As if to prove its authenticity, the Grilled Dog has
actual grill marks. This one is
served on a slightly toasty
sesame seed bun; add some
mustard and sauerkraut, a
side of Gordon-Biersch garlic
fries and a soda...it's almost
better than watching Reggie
Jackson or Mark McGwire
take batting practice back in
the day. (The garlic fries at
the Coliseum and at AT&T
had the same great flavor, but
the Coliseum fries were a lit-
If you're contemplating buying season
tickets at AT&T Park, maybe some
strawberry shortcake will seal the deal.
In the Field Club and luxury box levels open only to season ticket holders Bon Appetit's offerings rival those of
most San Francisco restaurants.
tle soggy - though 75 cents
cheaper.)
The Coliseum has the
somewhat swanky West Side
Club, a public restaurant on
the mezzanine level with an
enormous bar, reserved tables
with a view of the field and
open tables with big-screen
TVs above the bar. Here, the
West Side Carvery serves
grilled turkey panini sandwiches. For $13.50, we also
get serve-it-yourself sides of
spinach salad and fruit salad,
and a bag of chips.
The sandwich, served on a
soft French roll, is big and
the tasty turkey has a bit of
spice to it. I can't figure out,
though, how a grilled sandwich would have cold meat
and unmelted cheese.
Les and Karen Horton,
longtime A's fans from
Alameda, say they swear by
the Saag's sausages.
"We're Saag's dogs fans,"
says Les. "I love the
bratwurst, with the grilled
onions."
Horton says he does forego
the brat on Oakland's Dollar
Hot Dog Nights, Wednesday
night games when the traditional dogs can be had for
just a buck.
"On Dollar Hot Dog
Nights, I'll have five or six,"
he says.
Acting on his recommendation, I make my way downstairs for a Saag's bratwurst.
Alas, little more than an hour
into the game, there was not a
brat to be found. The linguica
is a good second choice, a
great snap on the first bite,
terrific taste. But the rest of
it? A swing and a miss: The
sesame seed bun is cold, so it
won't wrap around the meat,
and most of the not-too-well
grilled onions and bell peppers end up in the cardboard
tray. The Grilled Dog, garlic
fries and a soda is $14, and
the linguica is $5.50.
If you're strapped for cash,
both parks are ready, willing
and able to take credit cards
at most concession stands.
Win or lose, you won't leave
hungry.
Bon Appetit shortcake
If you're contemplating
buying season tickets at
AT&T Park, maybe some
strawberry shortcake will seal
the deal. In the Field Club
and luxury box levels - open
only to season ticket holders Bon Appetit's offerings rival
those of most San Francisco
restaurants. Bon Appetit of
Palo Alto handles catering for
the Field Club and the luxury
boxes, and their strawberry
shortcake has become a sensation at AT&T Park.
"The look on their faces as
the people try to get a bite
out of this before they get
back to their seats, and they
have whipping cream all over
their face," says Markus
Hartmann, district manager
for Bon Appetit.
The shortcake is far more
than just a glob of frozen
strawberries on a piece of
shortcake with a big spritz of
whipped topping. That would
never fly with Bon Appetit's
philosophy. Twice a week,
during the baseball season,
chefs from the company
stockpile fresh fruits and vegetables from the Farmer's
Market at the San Francisco
Ferry Building, then make the
short trip to AT&T Park.
There, the fresh strawberries
from Yerna Farms are prepared, with an ample supply
pureed for the topping.
Strawberries and sauce are
scooped onto a freshly made
shortcake biscuit - "It's a nifty
recipe," Hartmann says - then
buried in fresh whipped
cream.
The stand in the Field Club
is called, appropriately, the
Farmer's Market, Hartmann
says. It started in 2001 with a
display of a single wooden
cart. There are now four carts
in the Field Club, and the
items served are made from
what the cooks find at the
Ferry Building Farmer's
Market. "We go there twice a
week, buying fresh, available
produce and building relationships with the growers,
then come back, put it on a
big table and the chefs prepare it and serve it that
night," Hartmann says.
A daily special - though
it's often not the same every
day - is the Farmer's Market
Baguette, grilled vegetables
on a fresh baguette with fresh
leaf lettuce and either goat
cheese or salsa verde. "We
use whatever's there," Hartmann says.
A parfait made with organic
whole-milk yogurt, blackberries and organic granola, then
topped with dried apricots or
nectarines, is another fan
favorite, he says.

ASTROGRAPH
By Bernice Bede Osol
Saturday, July 1, 2006
In the year ahead, you may
get involved in numerous
undertakings, and, although
each may be small or minimal,
their collective yield could turn
out to be rather astounding.
What you learn from this will
serve you well for years.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
— Your thinking cap will be
sufficiently organized to analyze and discuss a complicated
issue or situation with associates whose support would be
quite helpful. Make your case
now.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) —
This may be a good time to go
shopping for things you want or
need. You’ll have a sharp eye
for what is a good bargain, and
you are likely to get considerable mileage out of your funds.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
— Your judgment on what is
best for you to do will be superior to others, whose interests
are their own. Don’t let them
talk you into doing things you’d
rather not.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
— Problems that are plaguing
you are best worked out in solitude. Listening to others about
your concerns may only confuse you more. Get off by your-
TODAY’S SPORTS: In 1994, U.S. ice
skater Tonya Harding was stripped of her
national championship title and banned from
competition for life because of her role in the
assault on rival skater Nancy Kerrigan.
TODAY’S QUOTE: “When one has much
to put into them, a day has a hundred pockets.”
— Friedrich Nietzsche
TODAY’S FACT: In 1872, Susan B.
Anthony registered and voted in Rochester,
self where they can’t interfere.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
— You’ll enjoy spending some
of your time with friends, as
long as the activity is enjoyable
or constructive in some manner.
Wasting your time doing nothing will leave you empty.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23Dec. 21) — Once you set your
mind on a goal or objective, it is
unlikely that anybody or anything will steer you off the
course you set. The targets
you’ll be going after will be
worth hitting.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19) — You are apt to have
much greater strength in your
mind than you will in your
back. If possible, let mental
N.Y.; she was arrested and fined $100 for
breaking the law.
TODAY’S NUMBERS: 8 — number of
states that had more Electoral College votes in
the 2004 presidential election than in the 2000
election. 10 states had fewer votes in 2004 than
in 2000.
TODAY’S MOON: Between new moon
(June 25) and first quarter (July 3).
projects take precedence over
those that require muscle and
prowess.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
19) — You have a natural knack
for rooting out information pertinent to your immediate needs.
Once you have all the facts at
hand, you’ll know it will
enhance your chances for success.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)
— If you are trying to put a deal
together with another, use all
the skills at your disposal to
your
best
advantage.
Compromise is fine, as long as
it doesn’t interfere with a
promising outcome for you.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
— It always behooves you to be
more attentive to your health
habits, and this could prove to
be right. If you don’t avoid eating and drinking things that you
shouldn’t, you could pay a big
price.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20) — You’ll be especially
good at managing persons who
are younger or less experienced
than yourself. When asked to
take charge of such types, don’t
hesitate to use your talents.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
— Because you’re apt to be
more domestically conscious at
this time, today could be an
excellent day to put those finishing touches on several projects you have yet to complete.

Adoptee’s birthday doesn’t have to be a downer
Dear Annie: I have a birthday coming up,
and to put it briefly, it’s a sad occasion for me
because I was put up for adoption, making my
birth cold and disconnected. My birthday has
gotten increasingly difficult for me to enjoy,
and I would prefer that any celebration happen
after the fact, if at all.
My parents think I am being selfish, that I
am making the occasion all about me, and that
I do not appreciate my existence or what they
have given me. This is not true. It just makes
me sad that my life had to start out that way.
I have other emotions that I can’t really
understand. I only know that my birthday is
sad and I would like to be left alone. I don’t
want presents, but my parents want to celebrate. Last year’s birthday was horrendous (I
burst into tears at a restaurant), and I would not
like a repeat.
Please help me convince my parents that I
do appreciate what they’ve given me. This day
simply has more to do with a broken relation-

ship from my past. -- Anonymous
Dear Anonymous: We think you are a little
obsessed with your birth. Of course your parents want to celebrate -- the day you were born,
a much-wanted child came into their lives. It’s
also the day you found a loving and supportive
family. We do not know why you insist on
looking at your birth in the most negative way
possible, but since your focus hasn’t improved
over time, it might help to talk to a counselor
about it and those “other emotions” you don’t
understand.
Dear Annie: A few years ago, my husband
had a colostomy. Since then, every time I’ve

mentioned taking a vacation, he looks for
excuses not to go, claiming it would be difficult to empty and clean the colostomy bag.
I realize that toilet facilities in some parts of
the USA and Western Europe are not the best,
but there must be tourists who have coped with
this situation. Maybe your readers can come up
with answers. -- Need To Get Away
Dear Get Away: According to the United
Ostomy Associations of America (uoaa.org; 1800-826-0826), many people with ostomies
travel extensively. The organization has recommendations about how to pack, what to bring
on the plane, how to store supplies in your car,
etc. Your husband needs to feel secure about
managing a trip. Please contact the United
Ostomy Associations of America for some
helpful tips and reassurance.
Dear Annie: I would like to present a different idea of how to entertain out-of-town
wedding guests instead of inviting them to the
rehearsal dinner.
At a wedding I attended recently, there were
probably three dozen out-of-town guests. A
hospitality room with a nice buffet supper was
set up in the hotel where the guests were staying. Guests were informed that they were welcome there anytime after 5 p.m. After traveling
all day, we frankly were relieved that we did
not have to attend a formal rehearsal dinner.
We expected to just grab a bite and go to our
rooms, but found the other guests so interesting
that we stayed a couple of hours. I highly recommend this. -- A.S., Indianapolis, Ind.
Dear A.S.: We caught a lot of flack over that
response, so we will retract it -- to a point. You
are not required to include out-of-town guests
at the rehearsal dinner, but it is both gracious
and appropriate to provide a way for them to
eat upon arrival. They are, after all, probably
unfamiliar with the city and its restaurants, and
they have gone through a lot of effort to attend
the festivities. We like your idea of having a
hospitality room with food available. Other
readers suggested individual baskets of goodies in the hotel rooms. We’re sure people can
come up with innovative and helpful ideas of
their own. Just don’t abandon your guests,
please.

AN IMPORTANT NOTICE REQUIRED BY
THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT
OF
HEALTH SERVICES
BACTERIOLOGICAL WATER QUALITY
FAILURE
City of 10,000 Buddhas
The drinking water served by the City of
10,000 Buddhas during the month of May
2006, exceeded the maximum contaminant
level for total coliform bacteria, as specified
in Section 64426.1, Title 22 of the California
Code of Regulations (DDR).
The California Department of Health Services
(Department) sets drinking water standards
and had determined that the presence of total coliform bacteria is a possible health concern. These bacteria are common in the environment and are generally not harmful themselves. Their presence in drinking water is
usually the result of a problem with the water
treatment or with the pipes that distribute the
water and indicates that the water may be
contaminated with organisms that can cause
disease. Disease symptoms may include diarrhea, cramps, nausea, jaundice, headaches, and fatigue. However, these symptoms are not just associated with diseasecauseing organisms in drinking water. They
may also be caused by a number of factors
other that your water. The Department has
set up an enforceable drinking water standard for total coliform to reduce the risk of
these adverse health effects. Under this
standard, no more than 5 percent of the samples collected during a month can contain
these bacteria for systems that collect 40 or
more samples per month. Systems that collect fewer than 40 samples per month cannot
have more than one total coliform positive
sample in a month without violating the
standard. Drinking water which meets this
standard is usually not associated with a
health risk for disease-causeing bacteria and
should be considered safe.
This notification of the public is being done in
compliance with Section 64464, Title 22 of
the CCR as a means of keeping the public informed.

control point for fire suppression, assisting in
the protection of life and private property within the wildland-Urban Interface and wildlife

Washington State offers nation’s first organic farming degree
By NICHOLAS K. GERANIOS
Associated Press
PULLMAN, Wash. —
Even as enrollment in traditional agriculture degree programs waned, John Reganold
kept getting questions about
organic farming.
So the Washington State
University soils professor put
together a proposal to create
the nation’s first organic farming degree, and the state
approved the program last
month.
“We have as much experience as any university in the
country in organic agriculture,” said Reganold, himself
a major figure in the rise of
organic farming.
Once considered a niche
market with questionable economics, organic farming is the
fastest-growing and most
profitable field in agriculture,
and demand for food produced without hormones, pesticides or other chemicals is
exploding.
According to the Organic
Trade Association, sales of
organic food and beverages
rose from less than $4 billion
a year in 1997 to $13.8 billion
in 2005. Organics were 2.5
percent of all food and drink
sales nationwide, but have
been growing 20 percent per
year since 1990, the association said.
As a result, retailers are
expanding their organic food
sections, driving up demand
for people to work in the field.
Wal-Mart, the largest buyer of
organic foods, is also developing additional organic products.
But where to find the workers to grow, process, market
and certify organic foods?
That’s where the new program
comes in.
A university in Canada and
one in Wales are the only ones
in the world with organic
degrees. Michigan State
University and Colorado State
are on the verge of offering
organic degrees also.
But Washington State had a
headstart on all of them. The
university has three decades
of pioneering research on
organic farming and owns its
own organic research farm.
In addition, Washington
apple growers have been leaders in converting to organic
farming, largely to cut down
on pesticide use, which is
expensive and hazardous to
apply for a labor-intensive
crop, Reganold said.
Surprisingly, there was no
opposition from big agriculture groups that have long
depended on a variety of
chemicals to protect vast
quantities of uniform food.
“There was no resistance to
it,” said Ray Folwell, associate dean at the College of
Agricultural, Human and
Natural Resources. “It’s a hot
topic.”
The organic farming industry, which has suffered from a
lack of trained workers, is
cheering the move.
“As an organization that
hires people with organic agriculture experience, I see it certainly as significant,” said
Jake Lewin of the California
Certified Organic Farmers.
Made up of 1,300 different
businesses, the CCOF also
sees the degree program as
helping to legitimize organic
farming, Lewin said. Until
now, organic farming courses
were piecemeal, he said.
“This really is raising the
bar for degree programs,” he
said.
An organic farming degree
is also a natural for
Washington, a Democrat-leaning state where many citizens
are environmentally aware.
There are 597 organic farms in
Washington, and lots of farmers markets and organic food
stores.
Stephen
Jones,
a
Washington State University
wheat breeder, just received a
$680,000 grant from the U.S.
Department of Agriculture to
develop wheat varieties suited
for organic agriculture systems.
“There’s a tremendous
demand for organic wheat,”
Jones said.
For the past five years,
Jones has been crossing modern wheat varieties with 163
varieties grown from the
1840s to the 1950s, a period of
time preceding the use of
A university in Canada and one in Wales are the only ones in the world with
organic degrees. Michigan State University and Colorado State are on the verge
of offering organic degrees also. But Washington State had a headstart on all of
them. The university has three decades of pioneering research on organic farming
and owns its own organic research farm.
nitrogen fertilizers and other
chemicals.
Enrollment in traditional
agriculture programs has been
declining at WSU in the past
decade, because of a declining
number of family farms and
because many farm kids were
seeking better-paying careers.
Reganold said interest in
organic farming has been rising, even among students who
were not raised on farms.
But it is unclear how large
the organic farming program
will become, in part because
the chemistry and other science classes required may be
too daunting for some students, he said.
The
new
Organic
Agriculture Systems major is
expected to appeal not only to
aspiring farmers but also to
people interested in related
industries, such as global marketing, direct marketing or
organic food, Cathy Perillo,
coordinator of the new degree
program. Graduates in organic
farming can also expect to be
hired by grocery and restaurant chains.
“There’s quite a bit of
industry interest in the new
degree, too,” Perillo said.
“Large corporations increasingly interested in meeting the
nation’s growing appetite for
organic foods are seeking
employees who understand
organic agriculture systems,
which are significantly different than conventional agriculture.”
Organic agriculture is
attractive for several reasons.
It does not use expensive fer-
tilizers and other chemicals, it
is perceived as healthier to eat,
and it produces less stress on
farmland, Reganold said.
Reganold believes organic
farming will always be in the
minority, but believes it can
grow to 20 percent of the food
grown. But it can be more
complicated to grow a viable
crop, requiring more education for the farmer and often
higher labor costs.
“You can’t just spray.
You’ve got to plan ahead,”
Reganold said. “A lot of people don’t know how to do it.”
