By LAURA MCCUTCHEON The Daily Journal About a dozen skaters were shredding, grinding, doing power- slides and front-side-airs Friday in Willits, at the only skate park in Mendocino County. As Ukiah gets closer to having its own skatepark, youngsters in Willits continue to think theirs is pretty cool - although they have some sug- gestions for Ukiah’s designers. As in Ukiah, the interest in build- ing a Willits skate park was sparked many years ago, but the ball didn’t get rolling until 2000, when several people approached the city of Willits to discuss the idea. By May 2001 a skate park com- mittee was formed, according to Willitsskatepark.com. Soon after, fund-raising and grants followed, and around October of 2004 area youth were swarming the cement facility. Jer Polson, 14, of Laytonville, at the park on Friday, said he likes “everything” about it. “There’s vert, there’s street, there’s handrails ... ” he said, noting he could do without the volcano (a small cement mound), however, as it gets in the way sometimes. Thirteen-year-old Torrey Hansen, with him, agreed. “I like it a lot ... it’s better than skating the streets.” Torrey, who skates “pretty much every day,” said he likes the free- dom that comes with it. “There’s no coach or boss ... you can do what you want to, when you want to.” “It’s fun, it’s free ... ” 14-year-old Travis Moretto said. “It’s great,” Gus Ford, also 14, and also with the group from Laytonville, said of skating and the park itself. “But if Ukiah Skate Park had more stairs and rails; that’d be awesome,” added Ford, when asked his recommendations for Ukiah’s upcoming park. A good skate park needs “good flow,” said Polson. “Where you just flow through the bowls ... and some more stairs,” he said. And the bigger and smoother the park is, the better, said 36-year-old Kevin Knight of Truckee, who has been skateboarding off and on since he was 16. “Ultimately a good park needs a variety of mini-ramps, bowls, verti- cal sections and street environment - - like rails and ledges, and also a place to slalom and freestyle. ... It also needs shade and water and a picnic table,” Knight said. While there is no shade -- or pic- nic tables -- at the Willits Skate Park, Knight had only positive things to say about it. Most impor- tantly, he said: “It’s good for the kids. It gives them a place to skate.” Justin Capri, owner of Freedom Skate Shop in Ukiah, and vice presi- dent of the local skate park commit- tee, simply said, “Love it,” when asked what he thought of the Willits park. “I like the flow of the park. It’s got a flow, you can push a couple times and you don’t have to really take your foot off the board the whole time if you know how to skate it right ... ” Capri added.

Patrick Kirshtner, 35, of San Francisco, suffered injuries to his neck and back when he was struck by an older model ski-boat driven by Gabriel Perez, 38, of Ukiah, according to reports from the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office. According to the report, Kirshtner was operating his JetSki, approximately 500 yards off the Oak Grove shoreline when he was struck by Perez. Kirshtner told Sheriff’s deputies he believed Perez was traveling at an excessive speed. Kirshtner had a brief con- versation with Perez during which he told Perez he had been injured. Perez then fled the scene according to the report. Sheriff’s deputies, with the help of rangers from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, performed a search of the Lake Mendocino shoreline in a patrol boat. At the Pomo A campground, deputies located Perez and directed him to the deputies who were investigat- ing the collision. Perez was arrested on sus- picion of fleeing a boating collision that caused an injury and booked into the county jail. Alcohol is not considered to have been a factor is this collision. Kirshtner refused an ambu- lance at scene and instead had someone drive him to the hos- pital for medical treatment. Pitman expected to testify today By BEN BROWN The Daily Journal The prosecution rested it’s case Monday in the trial of Linda Pitman, the former library employee who was arrested in May of 2005 on suspicion of embezzling $65,000 from the Mendocino County Library. The prosecution rested its case on the testimony of Meredith Ford, assistant audi- tor for Mendocino County. Ford has previously investi- gated cases of suspected fraud. Ford testified that she was asked by former library direc- tor Erika DeMille, to audit treasurer’s reports after DeMille became concerned about discrepancies between the amount of money the library was recorded as taking in and the actual amount that was being deposited. By CONNIE KORBEL Fort Bragg Advocate-News FORT BRAGG - A week ago, residents on the coast didn’t have a clue that the county had plans to raise the speed limit on a section of Sherwood Road. By the time the county Board of Supervisors met at Town Hall, a citizens’ petition opposing the change, with over 150 names on it and more coming, was entered into the public record. Placed on the agenda as a Department of Transportation report, increasing the speed limit from 40 to 45 m.p.h. was intended to be a simple amendment to the Mendocino County Code. The section of the road affected would be between milepost .50 and 1.75. First at the podium was David Goble, a resident of Sherwood Road and the direc- tor of public works for the City of Fort Bragg. Goble, who expressed his surprise at the item, said there are a lot of issues to be con- sidered with such a change. He cited as examples his con- cern for corners that throw drivers off, the number of blind private roads and drive- ways, limited visibility in areas, and the number of youth who drive on it during off-peak hours. Eve Yeomans, also a resi- dent, characterized the area as "the chaos zone" where dri- vers pick up speed without care. Yeomans mentioned two accidents involving young people in recent years. Other residents spoke, as well. The message was the same. Safety issues for every- one — residents and drivers — are already a serious con- cern. The condition of the road, accident history and pro- posed higher speed limit just added to their fears. Howard Dashiel, county Department of Transportation director, explained that his predecessor had promised a study of traffic on Sherwood Road, performed according to the vehicle code, because of resident concerns expressed some time ago. Dashiel then explained that the current speed limit signs are actually unofficial. The central point of the issue for the county is that the California Highway Patrol can’t enforce speed limits that are not established according to the state vehicle code. The study, now completed accord- ing to the vehicle code formu- la, ironically resulted in the determination that the limit should be raised to 45 m.p.h. in that location. Fourth District Supervisor Kendall Smith opened the supervisors’ discussion. “Logic tells us it (the speed limit) should be 35 or 40, based on valid concerns. Some (vehicle) codes are not written for rural areas. This is very problematic,” she said. Clearly, based on com- ments from supervisors from the various districts, this situa- tion is not unique.

Israeli PM says no cease-fire comingnow in the fight against Hezbollah
MARJAYOUN, Lebanon (AP) — Lebanese fled north inoverflowing trucks and cars Monday, taking advantage of a lullin Israeli bombardment. Israel’s prime minister took a toughline, apologizing for the deaths of dozens of Lebanese civiliansin a single strike but declaring there will be no cease-fire.
Diplomatic efforts to end the crisis faltered, despiteincreased world pressure for a cease-fire after the devastatingstrike in Qana.
Israeli warplanes hit Hezbollah fighters battling with sol-diers near the border as the guerrillas fired mortars into Israel.The clashes signaled that the violence was not over, eventhough an Israeli suspension of most airstrikes in Lebanon —and a pause by the guerrillas on rocket attacks in northern Israel— brought both countries their quietest day since the conflictbegan three weeks ago.
Some 200 people — mostly elderly — escaped the Lebaneseborder town of Bint Jbail, where Israeli troops and Hezbollahguerrillas fought their bloodiest clashes. Two residents droppeddead on the road out, one of malnutrition, the other of heart fail-ure.
Some survivors described living on a piece of candy a dayand dirty water as the fighting raged.

Sanitizerreplaces soapand water
DEAR DR. GOTT: I have noticed that more andmore doctors and dentists are using the large bottles ofhand sanitizer rather than washing their hands withsoap and water before examining patients. Also, nursesdon’t use gloves when drawing blood. Please commenton these practices. It is difficult to mention this to doc-tors and nurses.
DEAR READER: Hand sanitizer appears to be agood product because it kills skin bacteria without theneed for antibacterial soaps. There have -- to myknowledge -- not been scientific studies to test its effec-tiveness, however.
I don’t see why nurses and lab technicians shouldwear gloves. The risk in taking a blood sample is notinfection; it is in the possibility of spreading hepatitisfrom a needle stick, in which case rubber gloves wouldbe useless.
DEAR DR. GOTT: I read with great humor yourcolumn recently about fighting head lice with MiracleWhip. I can’t vouch for that natural remedy, but I cantell you about another one that for me is equally“miraculous.”
My neurologist recommended a product for mymigraines called MigreLief. It contains magnesium,vitamin B-2 and the herb feverfew. Supposedly, thereare studies that show that all three of these simpleingredients work to reduce migraine frequency. All Ican tell you is this combination works -- for me, mymother and my sister. You might want to check this outfor your readers.
DEAR READER: Although I am not familiar withthis product, I am printing your letter in hopes thatother readers may be helped by using it. Migraines canbe very painful, and attacks may occur without warn-ing. As always, I rely on readers’ experiences, so let meknow, folks, if MigreLief works.
To give you related information, I am sending you acopy of my Health Report “Headaches.” Other readerswho would like a copy should send a long, self-addressed, stamped envelope and $2 to Newsletter, POBox 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092. Be sure to mention thetitle.
DEAR DR. GOTT: I’m 61 years old and hadsurgery on both knees, and the last surgery on my rightknee really gives me trouble. After sitting or driving forextended periods of time, when I get up to walk it’s likemy knee locks up. Is there any over-the-counter medi-cine that can help?
DEAR READER: This is not a common complica-tion of knee surgery; therefore, I urge you to review thesituation with your orthopedic surgeon, who may rec-ommend a course of physiotherapy. I am not aware ofany nonprescription drug that will prevent your kneefrom locking up, although ibuprofen may reduce pain ifthis is part of your problem. I am not a substitute for apersonal physician. Your own doctor is always the bestoption.

HEALTH CALENDAR
By PAMELA LEVIN, R.N.Special for the Journal
The news has been repletewith articles about how muchheavy metal toxicity we areexposed to in our modernlives, and how much damage itdoes. Some question, forexample, whether heavy metaltoxicity -- largely mercury,lead and cadmium -- is respon-sible for the drastic rise in therates of autism in the last 10years.
When people look for aneffective method of heavymetal detoxification, they dis-cover chelation, a process inwhich a chelating agent is usedto bind to the metals in thebody so they can be eliminat-ed.
If you are consideringchelation, to increase the like-lihood of a positive outcome,first educate yourself. A recentsad story underscores thispoint: a 6-year-old boy under-went IV (intravenous) chela-tion only to die as a result ofheart failure.
Metals that are circulatingin your body can cause a lot ofdamage, which is why yourbody stored them in the firstplace. When the process ofchelation pulls the metals backout of such storage sites ontheir way to being eliminated,they can first too easily land invarious organ systems and vir-tually shut them down. It ispossible that this is what hap-pened to this young boy.Unfortunately, his tragic deathis being made even more trag-ic as others misuse it to scarepeople away from chelation atall.
But, chelation can be bothsafe and effective. In my expe-rience, chelation is safest whenit is done slowly, which meansthrough the oral route (by
mouth), not intravenously. IVchelation can pull metals backinto circulation much fasterthan your body can eliminatethem.
Before beginning the chela-tion process, it is essential tomake certain your eliminativeorgans are in good workingorder and are up and runningwell – namely your liver, gallbladder, kidneys and bowel. Ifnot, address these issues firstbefore beginning the actualchelation process. This evenincludes undergoing one of thediagnostic tests for metal toxi-city. In the Western medicalapproach, the need for heavymetal chelation may be deter-mined by giving you a metals“challenge” test. You areadministered an oral chelatingagent (such as EDTA) for afew days and then you urine istested for metals. Some peoplehaven become so sick justfrom the challenge that consid-
erable means had to be resort-ed to in order to pull them outof it. One size never fits all, sobe prepared to stop the metalschallenge immediately if youstart to experience toxic symp-toms (see below).
Next, decide with your prac-titioner whether or not you are“up” to the stress of the chela-tion process. You need to be inpretty good health before youcan handle it. If not, deal withthe other health issues. OftenI've tested someone and dis-covered metals, but also foundtheir body could not toleratethe stress of the chelation atthis particular time. Perhapsthey have a blocked kidney, forexample, or their liver isalready too full of toxins.
Find out if you will require,not just the chelating agent,but also any drainage reme-dies. Drainage remedies arethose given along with thechelating agent to make certain
the circulation in variousorgans, glands and systemsremains open and does not shutdown under the stress of thechelation. As the metals comeback you’re your circulationafter being discharged fromyour cells, they can take upresidence in any organ – yourheart, for example, or spleen/liver/ kidney/colon, etc. andjust stay there. Drainage reme-dies support the circulation inthe organ so that the metalsmove through and out.
Next, learn the signs ofbeginning toxicity. Some ofthese include achiness,headaches, flu-like symptoms,difficulty concentrating, feel-ing depressed like your nor-mally technicolor world hasturned gray, muscle twitchingand jumpiness, difficultythinking or a feeling of heavi-ness over the chest area. If anyof these occur, you will need topace your chelating processmore slowly so as not to over-whelm your body.
There are many naturalherbal chelators, and usingthem for detoxification can bean excellent choice. However,I would NOT attempt it your-self. You could pull metalsfrom your brain, for example,only to have them lodge inyour heart. Now, not only areyou confused and cloudy-headed due to the metals com-ing out of your brain, you’realso going into heart failure!This is not a desirable out-come.
Oral chelation can be verysafe and very effective. Thekey is to go very VERY slow-ly, and to have the help of aprofessional who knows howto assess your situation in aholistic framework:

Microsoft plans to offer software tailoredfor the health care industry, a change fromits usual strategy of encouraging others tocreate industry-specific products using itsoperating system and programming tools.
The company’s first step, announcedWednesday, is to purchase clinical healthcare software developed by doctors andresearchers at a nonprofit hospital inWashington, D.C. Microsoft is also hiringtwo of the three doctors who created thesoftware system, and 40 members of thedevelopment team at Washington HospitalCenter.
The purchase price, which was not dis-closed, was most likely small byMicrosoft’s standards. But the company haslarger ambitions in the fast-growing marketfor health care information technology.Hospitals, doctors and policymakers world-wide have high hopes for saving money andimproving the quality of care by moving
health care into the digital age, handlingpatient records and tracking treatmentselectronically.
“This represents a change in our strate-gy,” said Peter Neupert, Microsoft’s vicepresident for health strategy. “This is thestart for Microsoft. We’re just getting start-ed.”
The Microsoft model in the past has beento supply operating systems, database soft-ware and programming tools that outsidecompanies use to make software packagesfor specific industries. The idea is thatMicrosoft provides the underlying technol-ogy platform, but then partners build pro-grams for industries like health care andbanking.
Neupert, 50, is leading Microsoft’s newstrategy in health care. In 1998, after 11years at Microsoft, he left to become chiefexecutive of Drugstore.com, an onlineretailer of pharmacy and health products.From 2003 to 2005, Neupert served onPresident Bush’s Information Technology
Advisory Committee and helped run a sub-committee focused on technology in healthcare.
Neupert returned to Microsoft lastSeptember, after convincing Steven A.Ballmer, the chief executive, and CraigMundie, a senior strategy executive, thatMicrosoft should be doing more in healthcare.
“I’ve had an opportunity to see howmessed up the health care system was,”Neupert said. “And to really have animpact, you need a footprint likeMicrosoft’s.”
The Microsoft plan, analysts say, couldbe risky. Most of the big health care soft-ware suppliers, analysts point out, are alsobig customers for Microsoft operating sys-tems, databases and programming tools.“This puts Microsoft in the uncomfortableposition of potentially competing against itsmajor customers,” said Dr. Thomas J.Handler, a health technology analyst atGartner.

VIEWPOINTS
There's something innately self-destructive aboutLatino protests over a section of the U.S. Senate's pro-posed immigration reform bill that would declareEnglish the national language of this nation.
Nothing in that provision would prohibit anyonefrom speaking Spanish or Italian or Chinese orVietnamese or Russian or Tagalog or Hebrew orArmenian or any of the 87 non-English languages list-ed as native tongues by California residents in the mostrecent Census.
In fact, the more Americans can speak those lan-guages and the more they are taught in public schools,the better for this country in its efforts to remain theworld leader in commerce and technology.
But when you have 87 native languages in a singlestate, when you have children with 83 native languagesin a single school district - the case today in LosAngeles - it's hard to develop any sense of unity. Fromthe earliest eras of immigration to America, learningEnglish was the great unifying force, the single skillthat most distinguished "greenhorns" from others.
Yes, there may be outright bigotry among someadvocates of making English the national language.But just because some bigots like an idea does notmake that idea immoral.
In fact, learning English is the best thing today'simmigrants can do for themselves, and they apparent-ly know it better than many of the politicians who poseas advocates for them. That's why thousands now havetheir names on waiting lists to learn English at publicadult schools around California.
"We already know English is the language of com-merce and success," says Los Angeles Mayor AntonioVillaraigosa, perhaps today's most charismatic Latinopolitician. Villaraigosa, who flat-out laughs at thenotion that Mexican immigrants would like theAmerican Southwest to revert to Mexico, insists that"We or our parents came here because it's not Mexico;we don't want it to become Mexico."
But he nevertheless opposes the notion of makingEnglish the national language. "There's no need to dothis right now," he says, noting that the official-Englishamendment offers no funding to let local schools teachmore English classes to immigrants. So the idea is awaste of time, he says, as it would not change a thing.
But he's wrong about that. For one thing, it wouldput all immigrants on notice they must learn English,because at any time governments could cease provid-ing election ballots or other materials in foreign lan-guages.
In fact, that might not be such a bad idea. WithEnglish literacy an alleged requirement (obviously notwell enforced) for naturalization of new citizens, thereshould be no need for ballots in Spanish or any otherforeign tongue. If everyone eligible to vote is alreadysupposed to know English, why spend the time andmoney printing materials in other languages?
The reason for those ballots is a 1975 amendment ofthe federal Voting Rights Act, and no one in Congresswants to risk being called a bigot by questioning itsprovisions.
But why should people be assisted in voting, if theyin effect say in requesting a non-English ballot thatthey don't understand the language in which publicpolicy is almost exclusively debated in this country?By definition, English-illiterate citizens will be castinguninformed ballots.
Some will cry "racism" when they hear this pointdebated. But it's the very opposite. Encouraging immi-grants to learn English well enough to vote and discusspolicy in it would have the ancillary effect of increas-ing their employability and participation in otheraspects of American life.
What's more, it will make them feel more Americanand less a exile from whatever land they came from.
If there's anything this country needs a lot today, itis a sense of unity. Historically, learning English hasbeen the most certain way immigrants have acquired asense of being one with this country, part of its flesh,and of disavowing political loyalties to their countriesof origin.
All of which means that so-called immigrant advo-cates who oppose declaring English the national lan-guage are really working against the interests of thevery people they purport to represent.

Just to clarify ...To the Editor:Thank you for publishing my previous
letter to the editor. I made it short both inthe hope that a short letter would be printedsooner and in order to spare UDJ readers along-winded diatribe. But as in cases whereone tries to move too fast, there’s always aprice to pay. In this case I have gottenmuch feedback that has shown me that myletter’s purpose has been misinterpreted.
My intention was not to say “John Ball– bad; Board majority – good.” My inten-tion was to counter the EmployersCouncil’s simplistic public relations cam-paign that was saying “John Ball – good;Board majority – bad.” My directing folksto www.whyjohnballwasfired.com (or, asJohn Ball called my previous letter, “pimp-ing the web site”) does not imply that Iagree with everything in every article. Mypurpose has been to expose people to moreinformation. I think this is a complex situa-tion with plenty of blame to go around. Iwill take my fair share of responsibility,and I apologize if I have brought more heatthan light to the discussion.
John Ball was right in recognizing thatour County government is in desperateneed of reorganization. Those who stallreorganization are doing a great disserviceto the County. It is equally true that thosewho push for changes that are destined forfailure, as did John Ball, serve to postponemeaningful reform with even greater cer-tainty than those who stall. In firing JohnBall, the Board made the right move, butonly if a new and viable effort to reorga-nize is undertaken.
The fault does not lie with Mr. Ball orwith the majority on the Board. The faultlies with the voters of this County. Thepolitical priorities of the voters appear tobe loyalty, ideological purity, and commit-ment to protecting narrow interests. Thevoters appear to want warriors in the Boardroom, people who will not compromise. Itappears that far less value is placed onelecting people with political competency,policy acumen, and experience in organiza-tional oversight. (OK, I’m a sore loser). Ifwe the voters want good County govern-ment, we the voters must change our prior-ities.
When I became active in MendocinoCounty civic life, the members of theBoard of Supervisors were Sugawara,McMichael, Eddy, Henry, and de Vall.Soon the Board will be Delbar,Wattenburger, Pinches, Smith, and Colfax.I know that I am not significant enough totake the blame for the lack of progress inimproving civic life here, but I certainlyhave no bragging rights after 13 years ofeffort.
I have my champions on the Board andothers have their champions. While the bal-ance on the Board goes back and forthbetween liberals and reactionaries, theCounty just keeps circling the drain intighter and tighter circles.
The next election will provide inlandMendocino County voters with an excellentopportunity to elect a couple of skilledproblem-solvers. If any run, will the voterselect them?

Fuming about the flagTo the Editor:To the Ukiah City Council. I saw a
report on a local news channel last nightand I was appalled. Visual blight? You’vegot to be kidding. Don’t you people haveanything better to do? I am ashamed of youclaiming the one thing that signifies ourfreedom is “visual blight.” I was born andraised in Ukiah and still have family there.Where are you from? Perhaps you should
read the Declaration of Independence andwhile you’re at it read the lyrics to ourNational Anthem. Then go outside andlook up at that flag and be thankful forwhat it stands for. You should be proud tohave that flag waving over your beautifulcity. Think about it a little more before youdecide to start a war.
Jon FranzSacramento
And more fumingTo the Editor:Having reviewed the news account of
the prohibition of patriotism in the city ofUkiah, I determined it was not a politicalissue, since I am a lifelong registeredDemocrat, and the decision was based onlaw not affiliation with a party.
My organization shuns politicalinvolvement, but plunges zealously intomatters of love of country and belief inGod. When our national emblem for whichI and nine of my brothers fought (one ofwhom died in combat), is referred to as a“blight”, you are not talking law, you areexpressing unvarnished contempt for ourcountry. You are wrapping your anti-Americanism in observance of the law.
As to that law. It is man made andrather than hide behind it, it can bechanged by man. As a former Vice-Mayorof the City of Simi Valley, I looked to theintent of the laws we ordained and if itwere not creating the appropriate results weallowed special use or permission to
accommodate justice. We never got caughtin what the philosopher, Albert Burgdescribed as, “the tyranny of words.”
Mr. Baldwin, who, by his own admis-sion, appears to be a one issue politicalwinner, may be misunderstanding what gothim elected. Was it hillside development oranti-American flag hating radicalism?
One of the most difficult evaluationsyou endure, as a legislator, even at citylevel, is to arrive at your vote as a matterof principle or a matter of cow-towing tothe majority. If we all obeyed the majority,we would still have slavery and native-American genocide.
The news account revealed to me thatthe Planning Commission made a decisionbased on common sense and recognitionthat the intent of the law was not to prohib-it a symbol of beauty but, rather, structuresthat detract from the value of the communi-ty.
Come with me and my comrades to thecemetery on Memorial Day when we deco-rate the graves of fallen heroes and speakto us of the American flag as being a visualblight under any circumstances or anylaw! It is craven to claim the law allowsyour anti-flag effort when you absolutelyknow you collectively can honor the flag’sglorious display.
I suggest, Mr. Baldwin, that same hill-side that elected you is now calling uponthe Americans in Ukiah to reject you. Longmay she wave!

Why protests overEnglish self-destructive
Thomas D. Elias is a syndicated columnist.
In our opinion
Kudos to the members of the MendocinoCounty Co-op Aerial Fire Patrol who todaymark their 57th year in the skies.
Besides being the oldest operating air-borne citizen fire patrol in the nation, thesepilots are protecting our private and publiclands by being a continuous fire season eyein the sky, spotting fires so that firefighterscan get to them as quickly as possible.
Working closely with the CaliforniaDepartment of Forestry and Fire, this hasoften helped stop a wildland fire from gain-ing ground and turning into a uncontrolledblaze. In its 57 years, the Co-op has spottedmore than 900 fires.
Landowners voluntarily pay 64 cents peracre to this volunteer organization and thisyear the Co-op has 80 subscribers, andthey’re covering more than 400,000 acres ofland during this fire season.
All landowners in the rural areas of thecounty should consider pitching in for thisimportant service. Since the state shut downits fire towers with their round-the-clockwatchers, this aerial fire patrol is even morecritical. Sixty-four cents an acre is not muchto pay to keep these spotters in the air.

districts around the countrythat are working with yogaeducation have enjoyedexcellent results: Childrenshow improved concentra-tion, calm cooperation, aca-demic performance, physicalwell-being and self-esteem.We hope your child gets theopportunity to experience itsbenefits.
Yoga for children shouldbe an enjoyable activity thatinvites them to explore theirimagination and creativity. Ihighly recommend our annu-al Fun Kids Yoga Camp(ages 5-10) in mid-August(see Yoga News below).Parents should understandthat yoga for younger chil-dren is more playful andlight-hearted; kids movefrom one posture to the nextrather than holding theposes. In the class, we struc-ture yoga as a playful activi-ty, adapting the class to meetthe unique interests and abil-ities of youthful participants.Poses like Tree, Tortoise,Dog, Cat and Cow, Eagleand Mountain subtlyembody the essence ofnature, and children oftenpleasurably connect to thissense of the world. Toheighten the class’s spirit ofimagination, the instructorsometime creates an interac-tive game or a story thatincorporate these poses.Young ones can also beremarkably open to a “timein,” the quite time that endsthe class; they learn to con-nect to their breath moreopenly and to self-createinner relaxation.
You can also have funpractising yoga at home withyour child. Find a spot inyour home or garden where
you have room to movefreely. Perhaps they canremember poses they did inclass or pick out some posesfrom a book. What a delightfor them to teach you andshare their knowledge andcuriosity. A family yoga ses-sion is a great way to con-nect as well as to be healthy.

By CAROLYN O’NEILCox News Service
ATLANTA -- Are your countertops clut-ter-free? Do you know how long you’ve hadeverything in your refrigerator and pantry?Are healthy snacks in plain view?
If you answered no to any of these ques-tions, and most of us will, your kitchen is inneed of a fitness makeover. Your healthdepends on it.
“There’s more and more evidence that ourenvironment has a strong influence on us,”says Dr. David Katz, author and the directorand co-founder of the Yale PreventionResearch Center. “The kitchen is the base ofoperations for dietary choices.”
Whether your goal is to lose weight orkeep it off, your kitchen needs to be filledwith healthy food and be inviting, comfort-able and convenient.
“If it’s not a comfortable place to work,you’ll find the fastest way to get out,” saysregistered dietitian Becky Reeves of theBaylor College of Medicine’s DietModification Clinic in Houston.
A fit kitchen should have room for you tocook, the appropriate equipment and conve-nient work spaces for cutting food, andlanding places for groceries or meals thatcome out of the stove.
Meanwhile, here is some equipment toconsider for your kitchen:
Rice maker -- The rice comes out perfect-ly every time. Brown rice takes a little morewater and slightly longer to cook, but it’sworth it for the nutritional benefits.
Mini food processor -- These runt-sizeprocessors make it easy to chop up a batchof onions, peppers, celery, coriander, pars-ley or shallots in just the right amount.They’re more affordable than the bigprocessors and take up less counter space.
Vegetable steamer -- It’s the best way toprepare veggies that come out crisp andfresh. You can get inexpensive metal insertsthat convert any pot to a steamer or upgradeto a double-boiler type with handles toremove the steamer basket.
Two sharp knives -- Not a big set. Oneshould be an easy-to-hold medium paringknife for peeling, slicing and cutting fruitsand veggies. The other should be a biggerknife, often referred to as a chef’s knife, for
chopping or mincing.Tongs -- They’re great for flipping food
on the grill, grabbing steamed corn from apot, turning chicken quickly under the broil-er or maneuvering veggies from pot to plate.
Cutting boards -- Toss chipped and beat-up boards. Have one for meat and anotherfor vegetables.
Grater -- Whether it’s a box grater or oneof the micro-plane graters, these gadgetswill help you add a sprinkle of freshly grat-ed Parmesan cheese on veggies and salads.And don’t underestimate the flavor power offreshly grated lemon zest on everythingfrom soup to souffl?s.
Measuring spoons and cups -- Remember,it’s all about portion control. Get a set ofliquid and dry cups. You’ll need a good,solid two-cup Pyrex measuring cup for liq-uid and a nice set of thick plastic ones forsolid measures, ranging from a quarter cupto one cup.
Thinking about renovating your kitchen?Consider these additions:
• Add a second sink to create a work cen-ter for fruits and vegetables and learn howto store them properly.
• Buy a cooktop with a grill or wok ele-ment that leads to healthier types of cook-ing.
• Design easy-to-reach prep spots so yourchildren can help prepare meals. Not onlywill they learn about healthier foods, butthey will be more likely to eat what theyhelp prepare.
Keep or toss? Follow these time guide-lines to keep your food as fresh as possible:

Rookie Leinart a no-show at Cardinals campPatriots QBBrady also missesMonday workoutThe Associated Press
Arizona rookie quarterbackMatt Leinart stayed out of the sunMonday, as did veteran counter-part Tom Brady, who was myste-riously absent from workoutswith the New England Patriots.
Leinart missed the first day ofpractice while contract negotia-tions went on between theCardinals and representatives ofthe first-round pick.
Brady, a two-time Super BowlMVP, missed his third straightpractice, but Patriots coach BillBelichick didn’t say why hisquarterback wasn’t on the field.
“Guys that aren’t out here, it’seither because of their practiceroutine or they are day to day,” hesaid.
It was unclear which reasonapplied to Brady, who participat-ed in all four practices on Fridayand Saturday, the first two days of
camp. He missed Sunday’s singlesession and both of Monday’spractices.
Arizona appeared close to adeal with Leinart when his agent,Tom Condon, came to Phoenix onFriday to meet with club officials.But Condon left after the sidesdidn’t meet Sunday.
“We want to get Matt in asquickly as possible,” Condonsaid. “We’re anxious to see himon the field.”
Heisman Trophy winnerReggie Bush, Leinart’s teammateat Southern California, showedup at the Saints’ training camp inJackson, Miss. He is expected topractice Tuesday after undergo-ing a conditioning test.
Bush didn’t expect his contractto get done quite so soon.
“You never know when it’sgoing to happen. It’s like waitingto be called into the army,” Bushsaid. “I’m just glad to finally behere. It’s a business, but I knewwe’d get it done soon. I’m readyto go.”
As temperatures soaredMonday during another swelter-ing heat wave around the country,
some NFL teams were takingsteps to make things easier ontheir players.
The Chicago Bears scheduledonly one practice on Monday andTuesday and moved the startingtime to 7 p.m., thus avoiding mid-90s heat and sweltering humidityin Bourbonnais, Ill. The playersmight get a break on Wednesday,too, as that practice could bepushed back.
“I’m sure they probably wereglad to get out of that heat a littlebit,” Bears coach Lovie Smithsaid. “We would like to get agood practice no matter what, andthe best way to do that is for theplayers not to have to deal withthe heat.”
Some have already suffered.Defensive tackle Tommie Harris,rookie return man Devin Hesterand rookie defensive tackle DustyDvoracek missed time because ofheat exhaustion symptoms in thelast couple of days.
As a precaution, the Bearshave also given a handful of vet-eran players such as Brian
MLB TRADE DEADLINE
Maddux movesCubs ship Maddux toDodgers for Izturis,Soriano stays putBy RONALD BLUMThe Associated Press
NEW YORK — Greg Maddux was dealtto the Los Angeles Dodgers in the biggestdeal before baseball’s non-waiver tradedeadline Monday while the WashingtonNationals surprised some teams by holdingonto Alfonso Soriano.
A 327-game winner and four-time CyYoung Award winner, Maddux waived hisno-trade clause and accepted the trade toLos Angeles, who sent Gold Glove infield-er Cesar Izturis to the Cubs. Chicago is giv-ing $2 million to the Dodgers as part of thetrade.
Maddux, who spent his first seven sea-sons with the Cubs, returned to Chicagobefore the 2004 season after 11 years withthe Atlanta Braves. He got his 300th winand 3,000th strikeout with the Cubs.
“I am very surprised to be honest withyou,” Maddux said. “It came down to thelast minute. I’m excited to be going to L.A.,but at the same time sad about leavingChicago. I need to try to get right with mynew team and try to pitch well for them.”
Maddux started the season 5-0, but the40-year-old right-hander has won only fourgames since and is 9-11 overall with a 4.69ERA in 22 starts.
“He’s not what he was when he was win-ning Cy Young Awards, but we still think hehas the ability to pitch and win games,”Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti said.“He’s probably one of the smartest playersI’ve ever been around. I think he’ll find away.”
Los Angeles, last in the tightly groupedNL West, also acquired shortstop JulioLugo from the Tampa Bay Devil Rays forminor league third baseman Joel Guzmanand outfielder Sergio Pedroza
Earlier, the Cubs traded infielder ToddWalker and $350,000 to San Diego forminor league right-hander Jose Ceda.
Soriano, an All-Star left fielder, is bat-ting .286 with 32 homers, 64 RBIs and 26stolen bases in his first season withWashington after coming over in a tradewith Texas last offseason.
“We felt the best deal we could make is
no deal for the franchise,” general managerJim Bowden said. “He wants to stay in D.C.and did not want to be traded.”
Soriano, who makes $10 million thisyear, can become a free agent after the sea-son.
“I’m happy,” Soriano said. “It will bemore easy to focus on playing every timebecause it passed. I was very excited theywanted to keep me here. ... I love my team-mates, too. I think they were happy to seeme walk in here.”
While Soriano stayed put, there were 11trades in all Monday, including four by thePittsburgh Pirates. Teams can still maketrades, but players must first pass throughwaivers.

Synthetic hormone found in Landis testThe Associated Press
NEW YORK — Tests show thatsome of the testosterone in FloydLandis’ system at the Tour de Francewas synthetic and not naturally pro-duced by his body as he claimed,according to a newspaper report.
The French antidoping lab testingthe American cyclist’s samples deter-mined that some of the hormone camefrom an external source.
The New York Times reported thefindings on its Web site Monday night,citing a person at the InternationalCycling Union with knowledge of theresult.
The finding undermines the defensethat Landis has stood behind since hetested positive for an elevated ratio of
testosterone to epitestosterone follow-ing the 17th stage of the Tour deFrance.
He staged a stirring comeback dur-ing the 17th stage in the Alps to makeup for a poor performance the daybefore.
Looking and sounding defiant,Landis said Friday that his body’s nat-ural metabolism — not doping of anykind — caused the result, and that hewould undergo tests to prove it.
“We will explain to the world whythis is not a doping case but a naturaloccurrence,” Landis said at a newsconference in Madrid, Spain.
But after determining that Landis’sratio of testosterone to epitestosteronewas more than twice the limit of 4:1,
the lab performed a carbon isotoperatio test on the first of Landis’s twourine samples, the person told theTimes.
That test determines whether thetestosterone sample taken from Lanidsis natural or synthetic.
Landis officially requested the test-ing of his backup urine sampleMonday for an elevated testosteroneratio.
If the “B” test is negative, Landiswould be cleared. If it’s positive,which Landis’ lawyers say they expect,he could be stripped of his Tour victo-ry and banned for two years.
The Times reported that Landis wasin New York on Monday night andcould not be reached for comment.

Back in the saddleRaiders assistantmakes journeyfrom Idaho B&Bto NFL sidelineBy JOSH DUBOWThe Associated Press
NAPA — Art Shell went toan unusual place to find hisoffensive coordinator.
He didn’t raid a coach fromthe trendy college team orSuper Bowl participant. Hebrought his old friend TomWalsh back from a bed andbreakfast in Idaho.
Walsh was out of the NFLfor 11 seasons before Shellhired him to be the OaklandRaiders’ new offensive coor-dinator in February.
Much has changed sinceWalsh was last in the NFL in1994. The players are biggerand faster and new strategiesare now in vogue. But Walshsays the essence of the gameis still the same.
“There’s a couple fewwrinkles that change ...,”Walsh said. “It’s like servingchicken. I mean, one day it’sfried, one day it’s grilled andthe next day it’s chickenmarsala, and the next day it’ssomething else. But it’s stillchicken. They still got 11 guysout there. It’s just a matter ofthe philosophies of the coach-es. You go from there.”
Walsh was an assistant with
the Raiders from 1982-94,coaching quarterbacks beforebecoming offensive coordina-tor under Shell. He was firedalong with Shell following the1994 season.
Since then, Walsh was headcoach for two seasons at IdahoState and worked as directorof operations and head coachof a minor league franchise inMobile, Ala. He has been outof football since 1999.
Walsh, who also was themayor in Swan Valley, Idaho,said he stayed close to thegame through some announc-ing gigs and talking with col-lege coaches who broughttheir staffs to the HansenGuest Ranch.
Walsh and Shell kept intouch since being fired andShell had promised his buddythat he would have a job as anNFL offensive coordinatoragain as soon as Shell got asecond chance as head coach.
So soon after Shell washired to replace Norv Turnerin February, one of his firstcalls was to Walsh.
“Because he knows the sys-tem that I love,” Shell said.“He knows this system, andhe know show to implementit. ... We had been talking forthe last few years about foot-ball, and if this came about, itwas a natural for me.”
Walsh says his system isn’tfancy. It’s an offense thatdates back to Al Davis’ daysas an assistant to Sid Gillman
with the Chargers more thanfour decades ago. It’s aboutpower running, deep-strikepassing and being more phys-ical than the opponent.
Instead of trying tooutscheme the defense, Walshwants to keep it simple andhave his players impose theirwill on the other team.
“It allows us to play foot-ball,” quarterback AaronBrooks said. “We’re not beingcontrolled by a coach whosays, ’I need you to do this,that and the third.’ Everyreceiver out there is a primarytarget. As a quarterback, that’swhat you want because youhave options.”
Urlacher, Mike Brown andBrian Griese one morningpractice off.
“Night is great for us, Ilove it,” Pro Bowl center OlinKreutz said. “I think we justcanceled it just to be safe.There’s been a lot of bad — Iwouldn’t call them accidents— but bad things that havehappened in the heat. Sowe’re not taking anychances.”
The heat also caused someproblems at the IndianapolisColts’ first practice.
Linebacker Keith O’Neil, afour-year veteran, spent about25 minutes in a cooling tent,then left practice before theColts finished their final drill.Colts coach Tony Dungy saidO’Neil probably would havereturned if the practice lastedlonger.
With the heat indexapproaching triple digits,everyone was paying attentionto the thermometer.
“I think players have takenit very seriously ever since,God rest his soul, the tragicdeath of Korey Stringer,” two-time MVP Peyton Manningsaid. “So guys try to be smartabout it.”
Manning said the Coltschart weight loss in correla-tion to the amount ofGatorade they drink —approximately two bottles ofGatorade for each pound lost.
“We had a lot of coachesout there sweating profusely,and that’s when I know it’shot,” Dungy said. “We tookmore breaks and longerbreaks, that’s really about allyou can do.”
The Titans pushed theirafternoon practice back fourhours so it could be heldunder the lights. A heat advi-sory issued for much ofTennessee was set to expireby then.
Florida native TravisTaylor is familiar withSunshine State heat, but thewarmth of Minnesota hasalready gotten to him.
“I thought this was sup-posed to be Minnesota?” theVikings wide receiver said ofthe state’s icy reputation.
After temperatures roseinto the upper 90s on Sunday,the Vikings were bracing for100-degree predictions forMonday’s first full-squadpractice.
“Heat is probably the storytoday,” coach Brad Childresssaid. “You have to be mindfulof the heat.”
Pro Bowler Darren Sharperarrived at camp with a freshlyshaven head, a new look forthe image-conscious safety.
“Actually I’m just gettingold,” Sharper joked. “When Isaw that it was going to be100 degrees here, I thoughtI’d shave it off and it wouldmaybe cool me off a little bit.”
FalconsWide receiver Brian
Finneran is out for the seasonafter tearing up his left knee inpractice.
Finneran, one of quarter-back Michael Vick’s favoritetargets, went down during aworkout Sunday night as hepracticed a one-on-one drillwith rookie cornerbackJimmy Williams. An MRIconfirmed that Finneran torethe anterior cruciate ligament,in addition to sustaining carti-lage damage and a slight dis-placement of the knee cap. Hewill undergo surgery later thisweek.
The loss of Finneran was aserious blow to the Falcons’hopes of bolstering an offensethat ranked 27th in yards pass-ing last season. As a backup,he led Atlanta wideouts with60 catches for 611 yards.
The Falcons placedFinneran on injured reserveand signed long snapperBoone Stutz, who was cut byTampa Bay a couple of weeksago.

NFLRoman fuming at PackersNewest Niner has harshwords for former teamBy GREG BEACHAMThe Associated Press
SANTA CLARA — Mark Romanwon’t forget the way the Green BayPackers treated him.
The veteran safety participated in hisfirst practice Monday since signing aone-year contract with the San Francisco49ers.
After two years as a starter in GreenBay, he was cut by the Packers onThursday, just one day before the clubopened training camp — and more thanfour months after he requested hisrelease.
Though Roman quickly found a newNFL home, he knew he was fortunate todo so on such short notice — and hisdiscontent with the Packers before hisrelease is nothing compared to his feel-ings now.
“They handled the situation bad, theway they did it, and not letting me go tocamp,” Roman said. “I wish they hadhandled it differently.”
Roman said the Packers were hesitantto give him permission to talk to otherteams after Green Bay signed safetyMarquand Manuel as a free agent in theoffseason.
Roman, who started 31 games forGreen Bay over the last two seasons,became disenchanted when the teammade that move, asking for his release inMarch and then skipping some offsea-son workouts. But Roman is happy to bein San Francisco, where he’ll competefor a starting job with his third team infour seasons.
The 49ers are woefully thin in the
secondary, with no proven NFL starterto play next to Tony Parrish at safety.
“I just saw an opportunity for me tocontribute over here,” Roman said.“This is an opportunity. It’s a challenge,and I like a challenge. The weather isn’tbad, either, coming from Green Bay.”
Packers general manager TedThompson said the club held ontoRoman until it was comfortable therewere plenty of strong contenders to takeRoman’s job. Roman made just twointerceptions in two seasons with GreenBay.
Roman spent Monday learning the
terminology in the defense coached byMike Nolan and coordinator BillyDavis.
The defense is dissimilar to thePackers’ scheme, but bears similaritiesto the defense he played in Cincinnatiduring his first four NFL seasons.
Roman already has checked the49ers’ schedule, and he acknowledgedhe’ll have a bit of special motivationwhen the Packers visit Candlestick Parkon Dec. 10.
“I always have motivation,” Romansaid. “It’s a challenge, because I don’twant to be giving in to anything.”
LA Dodgers acquire SS LugoThe Associated Press
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The LosAngeles Dodgers obtained shortstopJulio Lugo from the Tampa Bay DevilRays for two minor leaguers onMonday.
Lugo, who canbecome a free agentafter this season, is hit-ting .308 with 12homers, 27 RBIs and18 stolen bases in 73games. He joins aDodgers team thatbegan the day last inthe bunched-up NLWest, but only fivegames behind first-place San Diego.
“I’m very excited,” Lugo said beforeleaving Tropicana Field. “It’s a differentatmosphere over there when you’replaying for something. Hopefully, we goall the way through October and theWorld Series.”
The Dodgers have revamped theirinfield recently, partly because of
injuries to first baseman NomarGarciaparra and second baseman JeffKent.
They acquired Wilson Betemit fromAtlanta on Friday night for infielderWilly Aybar and reliever Danys Baez,then shipped Gold Glove infielder CesarIzturis to the Chicago Cubs on Mondayfor four-time Cy Young Award winnerGreg Maddux.
“Lugo is more of an offensive player,probably a better runner (than Izturis),”Los Angeles general manager NedColletti said. “We needed the offense,with Kent and Nomar out.”
Tampa Bay receives third basemanJoel Guzman and outfielder SergioPedroza.
Guzman, whom the Devil Raysbelieve can become a big hitter, was sentto Triple-A Durham. Pedroza will joinClass-A Visalia.
The Devil Rays will also recallinfielders B.J. Upton, the team’s topdraft pick in 2002, and Ben Zobrist fromTriple-A Durham.
Both will join the team on Tuesday.
Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddonsaid Upton will replace injured TyWigginton (broken left hand) at thirdbase, while Zobrist will start at short-stop.
Lugo and the Devil Rays discussed acontract extension, but couldn’t reach anagreement.
“I love it here, I really wanted tostay,” Lugo said.
“I tried to get everything done. I’mnot disappointed because I know both ofthe sides tried. I respect that.”
Guzman, 21, had a .297 batting aver-age with 11 homers and 55 RBIs in 85games this season at Triple-A Las Vegas.
He will benefit from some playingtime at first base for Durham this sea-son.
“We feel we got a piece to the puzzlehere that could be very, very significantfor us going forward,” Devil Rays prin-cipal owner Stuart Sternberg said.
Pedroza, 22, hit .281 with 21 homersand 75 RBIs at Class-A Columbus thisseason before being promoted to high-AVero Beach.

Safety Mark Roman signed a one-year contract with the San Francisco49ers over the weekend and participated in his first practice Monday.
dislocated his pitching shoul-der in a taxi accident, the NLEast-leading New York Metsquickly replenished their staffby acquiring RobertoHernandez and Oliver Perezfrom Pittsburgh for outfielderXavier Nady.
Sanchez was riding in a cabthat got in an accident near theteam’s hotel in Florida lateSunday night, the Mets said.
They expect to learn inabout a week whetherSanchez needs surgery. If hedoes, the right-hander wouldmiss the rest of the season —potentially a huge blow to theclub’s World Series hopes.
If not, he could return inSeptember, according to gen-eral manager Omar Minaya.
New York had hoped toland a top starting pitcher.
“We had some pretty bigthings on the table, especiallylate yesterday,” Minaya said.“Unfortunately, they didn’tpan out.”
Pittsburgh also sent right-hander Kip Wells to Texas forminor league pitcher JesseChavez; outfielder CraigWilson to the New YorkYankees for right-handerShawn Chacon; and first base-man Sean Casey to Detroit forright-hander Brian Rogers.
On Sunday, the Yankeesgot right fielder Bobby Abreuand pitcher Cory Lidle fromPhiladelphia for four minorleaguers. They hope to getoutfielders Gary Sheffield andHideki Matsui back from thedisabled list before the end ofthe season.
“I think we’re betterequipped to run the rat racehere in the final two months,but the competition is sofierce,” general managerBrian Cashman said.“Obviously, all of us try to put
ourselves and our teams in aposition to separate ourselvesfrom the pack, but I’m notsure anybody did that.”
AL East-leading Boston,which began the day a half-game ahead of the Yankees,didn’t make any moves.
“We were asked over andover again for our youngpitchers,” general managerTheo Epstein said. “As muchas we desperately wanted tohelp our team, it would havebeen shortsighted to sacrificeour plan.”
Star shortstop MiguelTejada also stayed put inBaltimore.
“I told them before that Idon’t want to go anywhere. Iwant to win here,” saidTejada, who is signed through2009.
Texas acquired infielder-
outfielder Matt Stairs fromKansas City for right-handerJoselo Diaz.
Cincinnati obtained left-hander Rheal Cormier fromPhiladelphia and right-handerKyle Lohse from Minnesota.The Reds sent 23-year-oldright-hander Justin Germanoto the Phillies and 22-year-oldright-hander Zach Ward to theTwins.
In other recent trades, theReds obtained closer EddieGuardado from Seattle andrelievers Gary Majewski andBill Bray from Washington.
“I would have loved tohave this bullpen at the start ofthe season,” manager JerryNarron said.
Atlanta dealt strugglingpitcher Jorge Sosa to St. Louisfor right-hander RichScalamandre.

Is sports’ doping vialhalf-full or half-empty?By JIM LITKEThe Associated Press
Tour de France winner Floyd Landis andOlympic and world 100-meter champion JustinGatlin got pulled over recently for racing underthe influence of performance-enhancers.
The news may be even worse than it sounds.Because instead of boasting about how well
the system works, the authorities are too busycasting a nervous eye on the horizon. Theyhave no idea how many more “speeders” areabout to crest the hill, only that the number islikely to be more than they are prepared to han-dle.
The head of the international cycling feder-ation acknowledged Sunday that he was con-sidering calling in real cops to help police thedoping in his sport.
“Of course it is sad it has come to this,” UCIpresident Pat McQuaid said, “but it is the wayit has to be.”
The head of the U.S. Olympic Committeewondered aloud whether the army would bemanpower enough.
“The cold reality is this: We are not yet win-ning the battle, and if we are ultimately to suc-ceed, we must become smarter, more efficientand more effective in our efforts,” USOCchairman Peter Ueberroth said. “The statusquo will not work.”
If those gloomy assessments reflect the cur-rent state of doping in cycling and track andfield, just imagine what’s going on in thegames that pay top dollar.
Not only do bike racers and runners takehome a fraction of what big league sluggers orbig-time running backs make, but both sportstest athletes more often for more substancesthan just about any other — in and out of com-petition. And, the samples are analyzed instate-of-the-art labs by the best scientistsmoney can buy.
Yet nobody in charge can say with certaintywhether the vial is half empty or half full.
The fact that two of the highest-profile per-formers in their respective rackets got bustedproves that nobody is above the law. There isno arguing with that. But since Landis andGatlin also happen to be among the mostrespected and least suspected members of theirprofessions, it begs the question: How manyothers are on the juice?
The credibility of every sport depends onthe answer, but almost nobody accepts thenotion that the number caught reflects an accu-rate count. Especially when names like Landisand Gatlin turn up on the blotter. Because thethinking goes that if athletes with that muchability and drive, not to mention an unassail-able work ethic, can be lured into riskingeverything to put themselves over the top, thenmore than a few of the guys just trying to cashchecks from week to week are doing the same.
In baseball, for example, we’ve seen pitch-ers, hard-throwers and soft-tossers alike,infielders, outfielders, Latinos, blacks,
Caucasians and nobodies test positive forsteroids alongside used-to-be-first-ballot Hallof Fame sluggers.
Someone wrote poignantly that the momentof truth for too many marginal ballplayerscomes with the onset of age or the realizationthat they’ve maximized their talent; then it’scheat or go home. That doesn’t make their sinseasier to forgive, but because they’re role play-ers, they are easier to forget.
When stars like Landis and Gatlin getcaught, it diminishes the games, too, but in amuch more insidious way. Increasingly, theperformances we once regarded as magical —the way Landis rebounded from crushingdefeat only a day earlier, or the way Gatlinroared past a half-dozen other sprinters and hitthe tape in world-record time — are proving tobe byproducts of science, based on testing todate. Ruin the biggest moments in the biggestgames that way and there’s no longer any wayto separate surprise from suspicion. It makesspectating an effort.
We keep talking about a return to someunspecified “good old days” as though thereactually were days when big-time athletesweren’t juiced.
Nothing could be further from the truth.Competitors looking for an edge, fair or oth-
erwise, have been around since the beginningof sport. More are being caught than everbefore, but it has never felt less satisfying. Allit seems to prove is that a little knowledge istoo often a dangerous thing.

ATLANTA -- First, let’sshake a myth about salt andhealth. Salt is not a nutri-tional no-no. In fact, sodi-um, the mineral that com-bines with chlorine to formsalt, is a needed nutrientinvolved in the body’s fluidbalance and helps nervesand muscles do their work.
So, when nutritionexperts recommend limitingsalt intake for good health,they are not talking aboutsalt use -- they’re referringto salt abuse. Too much ofanything is not a goodthing, and some researchsuggests that a low-sodiumdiet can help control highblood pressure once youhave hypertension.
The jury is out onwhether eating too muchsalty food leads to problemswith blood pressure.
Nonetheless, the 2005U.S. Dietary Guidelinesrecommend that healthyadults consume less than2,300 milligrams of sodium
-- about one teaspoon ofsalt -- a day. Most of usconsume about 4,000 mil-ligrams daily.
The good news is thatscientists who study tastehave found that when youcut back on salt, you getused to it.
Denise Johnson, a dietit-ian at North FultonRegional Hospital, says: "Ittakes about three weeks foryour taste buds to adjust,and then I’ve had peopletell me, ‘I can taste thepotato! I never knew what apotato tasted like [because]I used so much salt.’ So,they rediscover the realtaste of foods."
If you do choose to limitsodium intake, nutrition-fact labels on packaged
foods list sodium content tohelp you keep track. Butwhen it comes to diningout, you’re on your own.Some restaurants providesodium information on theirWeb sites, so that’s helpful.But here are a few salt-savvy tips for dining out.
• Order items you canseason yourself at the table,such as a baked potatoinstead of mashed potatoes.
• Pickles, cheese, smokedmeats, gravies, sauces,salad dressings, barbecuesauces, soy sauce andbroths usually are high insodium, so use sparingly.
• Ask the server for help.Request that foods be pre-pared without added salt orask for sauces and saladdressings on the side. For
low-sodium dressings, trylemon or a splash of vine-gar.
• Surface salt, such as alight shake on scrambledeggs or fresh sliced toma-toes, can give you the saltflavor hit you crave with asmall amount.
• Eat more spinach, can-taloupe, oranges and otherfruits and vegetables.They’re naturally low insodium and are goodsources of the mineralpotassium, which acts as thecounter-balance to sodiumin body fluid regulation.

profit from things we trulyenjoy doing, but this couldbe the case for you in theyear ahead. You might getthe chance to make moneyand have a wonderful timedoing so in the process.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -
- In order to complete every-thing you start, you must putlimitations on what youhope to accomplish. Takingon a great deal may be ambi-tious, but that could turn outto be nonproductive.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.22) -- Instead of trying toverbally rectify erroneousperceptions others haveabout you, physically set theexample you’d like others tosee. It’ll right any injusticesthey falsely have of you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.23) -- Be vigilant becausesomeone who is an expert atmanipulating and using oth-ers for his/her purposescould target you. Unlessyou’re forewarned, youcould fall victim.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.22) -- Be extra careful youdon’t do anything that couldoffend someone important toyou. You may feel a littlefun behavior is harmless, butthe other person could takegreat offense by it.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.23-Dec. 21) -- You alwayshave a choice between view-ing things positively or neg-atively, and life will go theway you choose. Don’t letyour imagination envision
failure where success is areal possibility.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Volunteeringfinancial advice is always arisky business at best, and itshould be avoided at all cost.If your tip is used and fails,you could be held account-able in a hefty manner.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- There are plentyof times when you haverigidly set ideas regardingthe way you want somethingdone, but it may be thewrong time to hold firm tothem. Be cooperative andflexible.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March20) -- It isn’t always wise toattempt to copy another’ssuccess in the same exact
manner, because conditionsare continually changing.You may discover this foryourself.
ARIES (March 21-April19) -- Try not to get caughtup in any financial involve-ment you consider to berisky, especially if peopleabout whom you know littlecontrol the deal. It couldcost you plenty.
TAURUS (April 20-May20) -- An old, unresolveddisagreement between youand your mate could rear itsugly head again, especiallyif another starts to pokehis/her nose in your affairsand stir up a touchy subjectonce more.
GEMINI (May 21-June20) -- Obviously, you won’t
have any trouble handlinglabors of love, but whenyou’re required to perform atask or assignment you dis-like, shoddy work habitscould leave their mark onyou.
CANCER (June 21-July22) -- Your earning potentialis quite good, but how yougo about acquiring yourgoals may not receive theaccolades it would underother means. Do only whatyou can be proud of.

IT'S IN THE CLASSIFIEDS–468-3500Searching for something big?
Dear Annie: I have been married to “Mike”for 10 years. This is a second marriage for bothof us, and we each have one teenager from ourprevious marriages.
When I met Mike, in addition to a greatphysical attraction, I was totally won over bythe way he seemed to accept everything aboutme, but in retrospect, I can see the problemsstarted even before we married. I just ignoredthem.
Mike has a temper, and though he has neverbeen physically abusive, he was verbally abu-sive to me and to my son. He constantly puthim down, always comparing him unfavorablyto his own child, berating and belittling him infront of others. If I said anything, the responsealways was, “Get over it.” I don’t know exact-ly how it happened, but I did just that -- I gotover it and over him. My heart shut down, andI lost all desire for any physical contact withhim.
The problem is that now, when I am ready to
walk out, my son has found a way to deal withMike, and their relationship has reached apoint where they both seem satisfied andhappy. Unfortunately, I am not. I cannot for-give Mike for the way he treated us in the past,I cannot forgive myself for allowing him totreat my son the way he did, and I am totallyincapable of reigniting the love and passion Ifelt for him. I barely tolerate him. When hetouches me, I want to scream.
Mike knows I’m at the edge. He told me hewould kill himself if he lost me. That guilt iswhat keeps me here. I know he is trying now,but I just don’t care anymore. What can I do? -- Cold Heart
Dear Cold Heart: You shouldn’t stay withMike because he’s manipulating you orbecause your teenage son now gets along withhim. Your son will be leaving the nest soon,and then it will be just the two of you. Youhave to determine if Mike’s efforts to be a bet-ter person are enough to rekindle your feelings.To do that, you must forgive yourself as well asMike and see what’s left. Please go with himfor counseling and find out before you give up.
Dear Annie: Where does text messagingrank on the etiquette scale? My husband’sniece gave birth and decided to text us.Everyone else in the family was called. We,however, got the message two weeks laterwhen we heard through other family membersthat we were the only ones who missed theblessed event.
Our teenagers are the only ones who use textmessaging on our phones, and we never thinkto check those messages. We certainly didn’texpect any important family announcements tobe sent to us that way.
We have since visited this niece and our now3-week-old great-niece and mentioned that it
would have been nice to have been informedsooner and more directly. Are we wrong? --Having a Text Tantrum in California
Dear Text Tantrum: Text messaging isactually equivalent to e-mailing, which is fair-ly acceptable. Of course, if your niece phonedeveryone else, she should have phoned you aswell. And we hope, if she is sending announce-ments, that she doesn’t text those. However, inher defense, we will say that text messaging isquite common in your niece’s generation, andit probably didn’t occur to her that you would-n’t see the message. Now let it go and enjoy thenewest addition to the family.
Dear Annie: I’d like to comment aboutcompany that comes too often and stays toolong. We had friends like that, and after awhile, it became obnoxious. The last time, asthey were leaving, I sweetly said, “Now it’s myturn to visit you -- and you simply cannot comehere until I have returned the visit.” They, ofcourse, agreed, and I have not seen them since.-- Love My Peace and Quiet
Dear Love My Peace: We’re impressed.

always looking for elementsto incorporate into Ukiah’sfuture skate park.
“We always travel andskate other parks and we tryto take elements from everystop, and the streets.Skateboarding is a lifestyle,so we take everything welook at, we picture it and howwe can be creative with it ona skateboard ... sets of stairs,blocks to grind on, handrails... they all bring those streetelements into our park,”Capri said.
But he wants to accommo-date more than just theskaters themselves.
“We want to make it com-fortable down there and havean inviting area for every-body ... moms and dads whowatch their kids, or just ran-dom passersby. ... We careabout the surrounding of thepark, as well as the skate park(itself). After this long, wereally want a nice, uniqueskate park,” he added.
It’s been in the planningprocess for nearly 20 years,and Ukiah is still waiting fora skate park to materialize.
In June of 2004, a piece ofproperty adjacent to the city
of Ukiah’s new Depot Parkon Perkins Street wassecured. In June of this year,the city of Ukiah includedfunding for a skate park in its2006-07 fiscal yea budget.
The goal is to breakground in Spring of 2007,Capri said, noting it takesabout three and a half monthsto build a skate park.
The cost?“It’s gotten more and more
expensive as the years havegone on. It was about$150,000 when we first start-ed the (current) committee in1995, and it’s gone up toabout $1 million to build apark. ... We (skate park com-
mittee) are estimating $1 mil-lion to $1.2 million,” Caprisaid, noting, however, hethinks it will be done for lessdue to all the community sup-port.
Nonetheless, Ukiah needsa skate park, he said: “It’snecessary, to put it in a nut-shell. When you have thismany people in a communitythat are involved in skate-boarding you must do what ittakes to support that.”

“She asked us to look intoit,” Ford said.
Ford testified that sheaudited all monthly treasurer’sreports made between July of2000 and February of 2005.These reports detail howmuch money the library takesin each month from fees, finesand other sources of revenue.
Ford testified that she com-pared that amount, to theamount of money depositedby Pitman while she workedat the library, and found thatthe amount deposited wasgenerally lower than the
amount recorded in themonthly reports.
Ford also testified that theaudit turned up other irregu-larities in how the recordswere kept. Between 2000 and2005, many checks were notdeposited until months afterthey were written, and some-times checks were turned inwith receipts that did notmatch, Ford said.
“There are checks fromMay, June and October,they’re all over the place,”said Ford of a filling made inNovember of 2002.
Ford said there was no rea-son for checks to be held thatlong and it caught her atten-tion because both deposits andreports are made monthly.
In other instances, Ford
said receipts written for theFort Bragg and Willitslibraries would show up in theUkiah library entries with dif-ferent checks. In some casesthe receipts appear to havebeen altered to change thedate the check was received,Ford said.
Ford testified that the delayin depositing checks and thealtered receipts from theWillits and Fort Bragglibraries could be an indica-tion that someone was divert-ing funds or stealing moneyfrom the library.
“I believe they were beingexchanged for cash,” she said.
According to log-in recordskept by the computer system,Pitman was the only person
who entered information fortreasurer’s reports between2000 and 2005, Ford said.
Earlier on Monday, AnneFuller, manager of MendocinoCounty Information Services,testified that county employ-ees who are given access tothe financial system are givena user name and password.
The user name is theemployee’s last-name and firstinitial. The password is deter-mined by the individualemployee and even informa-tion services doesn’t knowwhat it is.
Pitman is expected to takethe stand in her own defenseon Tuesday.

Peacock said. “When there ishigher humidity in the air,fires tend to be easier to get ahandle on.”
Firefighters conducted fir-ing operations by setting asmaller controlled fire andthen putting it out to removefuels that could be used by thelarger fire on Sunday. Theydid this around a cabin nearSalmon Creek. The primarydozer line down O’Neil Ridgewas completed while contin-gency plans were prepared fora secondary fireline north ofthe fire.
As of Monday morning, theHunter Fire is in the BlackButte River watershed. TheHunter and East Fires com-bined could significantly
impact a large section of theBlack Butte River drainageand the containment is ham-pered by critical resourceshortages because other firesthroughout the state havestretched non-local personneland equipment. Another con-cern is plume influence whichmakes it extremely difficult totell which way the wind isblowing because the smokecreates it’s own weather abovea fire when a plume is visible.There are also spots from theEast Fire affecting controloperations.
There is a substantialincrease in fire movementwith group torching and shortuphill runs. Group torchingcauses trees in groups to burstinto flames at the same timeinstead of a single tree burn-ing or catching fire. The fireburned north onto O'NeilRidge and crossed to the south
over Baldy Creek. Movement is also expected
to the north and south.Firefighters will be busy dig-ging a handline on the south-west flank of the fire, prepar-ing for future firing operationsor direct attack on the fire asweather permits.
On Monday the plannedactions involve the continuedactions of preparing M1 roadfor use as the west boundaryof the fire. Also firefighterswill be trying to construct afireline west and south of thefire. They also plan for firelineconstruction on the northwestside of the fire.
Temperatures in the areaare expected to be between 74and 82 degrees Fahrenheit tillTuesday with humidity pro-jected between 25 percent and40 percent and winds blowingfrom the northwest betweenthree mph and six mph.
As of Monday morning, thefire was 5 percent containedand there were no injuries asof Monday morning. The pro-jected date on containment isAug. 10 but Peacock finds itvery difficult to predict a datefor the containment of a fire.
“Mother Nature couldshine on us and give us somerain and we could have it outin three days,” Peacock said.“But there could be more heatand the fire could get worse.This is an inexact sciencewhen it comes to predictingwhat a fire would do.”
To maximize safety a roadclosure is in effect. A portionof M1 is closed from 22N34south to 20N14 and ForestHighway 7 is closed atMendocino Pass. This orderwill remain in effect until fur-ther notice.

nity members suggestedindoor marijuana growing asone possibility.
"In some places peoplehave converted rental housesinto marijuana growing opera-tions," suggested formerboard member Bob Whitney."They come in from else-where because Mendocino isan easy target."
So far, the primaryresponse of the Brooktrailsboard is an attempt to raisewater rates for high-end con-sumers in order to protectwater availability for the restof the community. The boardis also looking into the legali-ty of an outright ban on exces-
sive water use, particularlysince the moratorium on newwater connections was accom-panied by a declaration ofemergency.
On July 25, board membersvoted to add a seventh tier towater rates, setting the rate forusage in excess of 4,410 cubicfeet (30,989 gallons) perbilling period at 25 cents acubic foot. That means sev-enth tier water usage couldcost the big three about$1,000 each per month.
The rate change, however,must be subject to a publichearing and then returned tothe board for final vote inorder to become binding.
Given the required publicnotice period, the hearing willprobably take place inSeptember. Board approval atthat time would apply the newrate to the October water bill.
"If there's no effect, weneed to have a discussion ofother options," said boardmember Rick Williams.
Unlike the handful ofrepeat offenders, the majorityof Brooktrails residents typi-cally use as little water as 50percent of the state average.Overall, the community'swater supply appears to beabout eight acre/feet betterthan predicted for the end ofJuly.
