Zinfandel can be produced into many different wines, including sparkling wines; light, fruity blush wines; big, juicy hearty red wines; lus- cious late harvest wines and rich, sweet ports.

Flavors that you will find in this style of wine will include berry, jam, pepper, raisin, soy sauce, mocha, brown spices and vanilla.

At least 9 dead after Kansas tornado;flurry of fresh twisters strikes Plains
GREENSBURG, Kan. (AP) — A fresh wave of tornadoesripped through the Plains late Saturday, a day after a tornado allbut destroyed this town, killing eight and injuring dozens more.
The National Weather Service said it had received reports“well into the double digits” of twisters touching down in sixsouthwest Kansas counties. Numerous tornadoes were reportedfrom South Dakota south into Oklahoma as forecasters scram-bled to keep issuing warnings.
The new storms forced rescuers to abandon search effortsSaturday in southwest Kansas, where crews had spent the dayhurrying through the wreckage from Friday night’s giant torna-do. That twister left little standing in Greensburg beyond thelocal pub.
Friday’s weather was blamed for nine deaths in Kansas, afigure authorities feared could rise even before the latesttwisters.
City Administrator Steve Hewitt estimated 95 percent of thetown of 1,500 was destroyed and predicted rescue efforts couldtake days as survivors could be trapped in basements and underrubble.
Among the only structures that survived was the Bar HTavern, the town’s lone bar. It was briefly converted into amorgue.
Survivors picked over the remnants of their homes and pos-sessions, still dazed by the twister’s strength and scope.
The town, previously best known as the home of the world’slargest hand-dug well — 32 feet in diameter, 109 feet deepwhen it was finished in 1888 — was a nightmare of splinteredhomes and smashed vehicles, the air redolent with the smell ofsap from trees stripped of bark.
“We want everybody to know, and I plead to the Americanpeople as well as the people here in Kansas, this is a huge cat-astrophe that has happened to our small town,” Hewitt said.“All my downtown is gone. My home is gone. My staff’shomes are gone. And we’ve got to find a way to get this to workand come to work every day and get this thing back on its feet.It’s going to be tough.”
Among the funnel clouds Saturday were a series of half-milewide “wedge” tornadoes — similar to the one that devastatedGreensburg on Friday night, meteorologist Mike Umscheidsaid.
Umscheid said the slow-moving storm system would likelyto spawn severe weather early into Sunday morning.
Al-Qaida warns Iraq’s Sunnis against government roles
BAGHDAD (AP) — Al-Qaida in Iraq branded the country’sSunni vice president a “criminal” for participating in the U.S.-backed government, and a suicide bomber Saturday struckarmy recruits west of Baghdad, killing at least 15 people inanother warning to Sunnis not to cooperate with the Shiite lead-ership.
The suicide attack in the mostly Sunni town of Abu Ghraibwas the deadliest in a series of attacks that left at least 74 peo-ple dead nationwide.
The verbal attack on Vice President Tariq al-Hashemi waspurportedly delivered by al-Qaida leader Abu Hamza al-Muhajir, also known as Abu Ayyub al-Masri, in an audiotapeposted on an extremist Web site only days after Iraqi authoritiesclaimed he had been killed.
During the 21-minute speech, the al-Qaida leader criticizedal-Hashemi as “this criminal” who “relentlessly calls” for U.S.troops to remain in Iraq. Al-Hashemi has resisted calls by fel-low Sunni leaders to quit the Shiite-dominated government.
The speaker also denied any clashes between al-Qaida andother “jihadist groups or our blessed tribes,” saying reports tothe contrary by U.S. and Iraqi authorities were only “lies and a
desperate attempt to drive a wedge within the ranks of thejihadists.”
Iraqi officials announced this week that al-Masri had beenkilled in an internal fight among al-Qaida members; they couldnot produce a body and U.S. officials said they could not con-firm the report.
Security restrictions, drought slamBedouin shepherds in West Bank
MUMMGHAR, West Bank (AP) — Shuab al Hathaleen’smodest life is in tatters.
Israeli restrictions have forced the shepherd’s flock off muchof its grazing land, he said. A drought has sent the price ofreplacement fodder skyrocketing and the Palestinian economiccrisis has crushed demand for his sheep.
The proud Bedouin has been forced to sell off most of hisanimals at firesale prices and take out devastating loans to feedthose that remain. In February, the Israeli army knocked downhis small family hut.
While many Palestinians suffered as their economy tankedover the past six years, few have been hit as hard as the 2,500Bedouin herders living in tiny villages across the rocky hills ofthe southeastern West Bank, aid workers said. The traditionalnomads come from relatively powerless families.

Schlafer read a long list ofstate and federal taxes and feeswhich are attached to the fuelshe buys, including diesel fuelrecovery taxes, fuel sur-charges, oil spill taxes, statelead poisoning taxes, federalexcise taxes and more.
“Those are all of what goesinto your base price,” she said.Since hers is a full service sta-tion, an automotive shop, shesaid if she lowered her pricewhile still paying those fees tooffer fuel, she would have noemployees or operating capi-tal.
“I wish there was an easyanswer and people couldunderstand what it’s really likefor (station owners),” she said.“The price goes up almostnightly. If I don’t keep up withthe jumps, I might as wellclose.”
She said that by Wednesdaymorning, gas prices hadjumped another 2 cents, whichwill have to be added to herselling price.
“I have to raise it again andI hate it,” she said.
The San FranciscoChronicle reported that thehighest prices ever reportedcame from Tahoe City in Aprilat $3.60 per gallon.Californiagasprices.com fea-tures the highest and loweststatewide gas prices for thelast 48 hours and listed a shellstation in Twin Lakes to havethe highest price, $3.99 pergallon.
A quick online searchshows many areas of the coun-try still paying less than $3 pergallon.
Fort Bragg Circle KManager Karmah Mendez saidthe station’s highest pricescame on May 11 2006. The$3.35 price remained for aboutsix days in 2006 before drop-ping again, she said.

In order to remain competi-tive, some station managersreport having to drop theirprices, rather than raise them.Many know that motorists willdrive to where the price is thelowest, so the name of thegame is getting customers inthe door, where they will findfood and other goods.
Fort Bragg Exxon ManagerSandy Kiney said in mid-Aprilthe notion that gas stationsmake a large profit off gaso-line is simply not true.
“It’s the refineries thatmake the money,” she said.“We depend on store sales.”
Noting that gas stationsmust purchase the fuel theysell, she said the main officegoes online daily to check theprice and availability of fuel. If
the price has gone up, the sta-tions must adjust their pricesaccordingly. She said most sta-tions keep their prices compet-itive, and only make about 2cents per gallon. She addedthat if a station sells 3,000 gal-lons in a day, the profit is amere $60.
“Right now we are losingmoney,” said Mendez in April,adding that she felt there wasno reason for gasoline to be socostly.
She said some stations willsell gasoline at a small loss, upto 12 cents cheaper than otherstations, to ensure a steadystream of customers enter thestore.
“They get people in, butthey don’t make anything offthe gas,” she said.
Speedex and USA Gas inFort Bragg typically keep theirprices a few cents lower thanother local vendors. OnTuesday, USA and Speedexgas was $3.31 per gallon for
regular. Speedex Manager Ghulam
Ansari said the gas station andconvenience store business isextremely competitive. Heagreed that the goal is to getpeople in the store.
“It’s extremely tough rightnow,” he said. “We’re doingour best to compete.”
Ansari said that instead ofgoing online to see what thelocal prices are, he simplylooks around town.
“I try to keep my prices thelowest,” he said, while waitingon customers at the counter. “Ican stay low because I am onlymanaging myself and a fewemployees. It’s tough though.Customers come in and ask meif I ever go home.”
He said his prices are notalways the lowest, adding thathis expenses remain constantduring the winter monthswhen tourist traffic is minimal.Asked if he was making aprofit on gasoline, Ansari said
no.“We’re losing money,” he
said. “We’re not making a sin-gle penny.” He said it is com-mon knowledge that stationsand convenience stores cannotsurvive on gasoline salesalone. Ansari sad coast sta-tions pay more for gasolinethan inland stations in Willits,Ukiah and Santa Rosa. Ansariconcurred with Kiney’s obser-vation that stations only make2 to 7 cents per gallon of gaso-line sold.
“We’re doing this town afavor,” he said. “Before wecame here, there was no com-petition, prices were higher.”
Independently-owned sta-tions like his find it tough tosurvive among corporate-owned stations, he said.
“Some people are mad. I’mmad too,” he said about gasprices. “I’m mad at therefineries; they play tricks.They are making all themoney.”

COUNTY BOARD AGENDABy DESMOND BUTLERAssociated Press
WASHINGTON —European Union and U.S.leaders are hailing what theysay is a major step towardbridging their sharp differ-ences on global warming.Academics and critics ofPresident Bush’s policies,however, question whether hereally gave any ground.
At issue is a little-noticedsentence deep in a joint state-ment signed during an EU-White House summitMonday. It said senior offi-cials would meet at a climateforum in Europe this year todiscuss “market mechanisms,including but not limited toemissions trading.”
The EU’s top official inWashington, John Bruton,said this signaled a new U.S.willingness to discuss theEU’s cap-and-trade emissionstrading system, in whichmandatory limits are placedon carbon dioxide levels. TheBush administration hasstrongly opposed U.S. partici-pation in such a system.
“This is an important step,”Bruton said in an interview.“It’s an acknowledgment ofcap and trade. We think thereis nothing casual in the lan-guage.”
The U.S. ambassador to theEU, C. Boyden Gray, said, “Ithink it was a concession onour part.”
Some analysts say officialsare exaggerating the signifi-cance of the wording because
both sides wanted to demon-strate improving relations andto be seen as having madeprogress in international coop-eration on global warming. Itis an issue that is gainingpolitical importance on bothsides of the Atlantic.
“The international commu-nity is so exasperated by U.S.intransigence that they willapplaud any effort to appearengaged in this issue in thehope that engagement willlead to real participation,”said Paul Wapner, director ofthe Global EnvironmentalPolitics program at AmericanUniversity.
Henry Jacoby, co-directorof the MIT Joint Program onthe Science and Policy ofGlobal Change, said theEuropeans “tend to attach thegreatest significance to thesmallest pieces of informationout of the United States.”
But he said there are signsof loosening on other U.S.policies, so anything is possi-ble.
The joint statement wasamong several that emergedfrom a summit where U.S. andEuropean leaders sought tohighlight closer trans-Atlanticties after years of disagree-ments over the Iraq war, U.S.treatment of terror suspectsand global warming.
German Chancellor AngelaMerkel has made trans-Atlantic ties a priority of hercountry’s current term in therotating EU presidency. Shemade clear, however, that she
would not raise carbon caps atthe summit, instead putting offintensified talks until a Junemeeting in Germany of theGroup of Eight major industri-alized nations. Germany alsochairs the G-8 at the moment.
European CommissionPresident Jose ManuelBarroso said at a White Housenews conference that thestatement on climate changewas better than he had expect-ed.
“I think it was realprogress,” he said.
Skepticism, however, camefrom both right and left.
“It doesn’t surprise me thatthe U.S. has agreed to talkabout a cap and trade system;however, it would surprise meif the president agreed toimplement one,” said MyronEbell, director of energy poli-cy for the conservativeCompetitive EnterpriseInstitute. “I think theEuropeans are grasping atstraws.”
Annie Petsonk, a lawyer forthe advocacy groupEnvironmental Defense, saysthe administration has usedthe term market mechanismsbefore.
“What it hasn’t been will-ing to do is place a firm cap onour nation’s greenhouse gaspollution,” she said.
Gray, the U.S. ambassador,said the summit’s statementwas carefully negotiated.
“It refers to cap and tradeprimarily, but that’s not theonly way to do it,” he said.
The world’s only mandato-ry carbon trading program isin Europe. It was created inconjunction with the KyotoProtocol, a 1997 internationaltreaty that caps the amount ofcarbon dioxide that can beemitted from power plants andfactories in more than twodozen countries.
The White House has con-tended that complying withthe Kyoto treaty’s requirementcould cost millions of U.S.jobs. The Bush administrationhas been pushing for jointdevelopment of technologiesto combat global warming,and the two sides have beenexploring cooperation onresearch of biofuels, renew-able energy, clean coal andcarbon capture and storage.
Kristen Hellmer, spokes-woman for the White HouseCouncil for EnvironmentalQuality, said the joint state-ment was “not referring exclu-sively to the EU cap-and-tradesystem.” She said the twosides also would look at taxa-tion, tax incentives, loans andloan guarantees and other pro-grams.
The EU’s Bruton concedesthat it is unclear whether thesummit’s statement providesan opening for talks aboutU.S. participation in carboncaps.
“It’s clear that the languagerepresents significant progresson language,” he said. “Howthat translates into action isanother matter.”

The Ukiah Daily Journal
Editor’s note: The following is an edited version ofa lengthy paper sent to the Daily Journal by MayaMileck.
Do we ever really consider what we are eating inour hamburgers, or whether that corn oil is purely cornoil? Do we really have any idea what it is we areputting into our bodies? The voters of MendocinoCounty decided to control what is grown in their coun-ty by passing Measure H on March 2, 2004. The coun-ty was the first to ban the growing and raising of genet-ically modified (GM) crops and animals. However,there are those that would argue the passage of this lawis detrimental to the county. They feel GeneticallyModified Organisms (GMOs) are not guilty of anycrimes, and instead of being banished, should be hailedas heroes. Each side has its proponents, and neither hasbeen ultimately proven wrong.
As defined in Measure H, GMOs are “organismswhose native intrinsic DNA has been altered oramended with non-species specific DNA.” GMOs areorganisms that have DNA from another genus orspecies added to their own. The most common alter-ation to genetically engineered (GE) crops is introduc-ing herbicide resistance or pest deterrent.
The most difficult aspect of deciding whether or notGMOs should be banned is that each side often con-tradicts the points of the other. Should we take the sideof the oppressed consumer, overshadowed by the pow-erful corporations, who simply wants to protect his/herhealth and freedom of choice, and the health and free-dom of choice of others? Or should we take the side ofscience and agricultural advancement?
According to Measure H, proposed by a group ofMendocino County voters they “wish(ed) to protectthe county’s agriculture, environment, economy, andprivate property from genetic pollution by geneticallymodified organisms.” Some of their concerns were thatonce GMOs have been released, they can cross polli-nate with other crops, and the contamination is nearlyimpossible to prevent and eradicate. Furthermore,organic growers are not allowed to grow GM crops,and if GMOs were brought into the county, they couldthreaten organic farming practices. The voters ofMendocino took an active role in the issue, and hopedthat their activism would inspire other counties to dothe same.
Opponents of Measure H argue that the ordinancewas a mistake. According to Tyler Nelson, a directorfor the Mendocino Farm Bureau and the owner of afamily farm, Measure H “is a little bit discriminatory.We can grow GMOs within the city limits … on triballand … and on federal land” but not anywhere else inthe county. David Bengston, the Mendocino CountyAgricultural Commissioner and the person responsiblefor enforcing the ban said “these exceptions to the bancould escalate into a lawsuit.” He went on to say thatthose outside the areas exempted by Measure H canargue that the ban is a “violation of the commerceclause in the U.S. Constitution” because it allows peo-ple in certain areas within one county to take advan-tage of potentially beneficial advances and marketsprovided by genetic engineering, while prohibitingthose outside these areas from doing the same. Headded that another problem with the ban is that it onlyencompasses a tiny area. Mr. Nelson believes that sim-ply banning GMOs in one county has no effect. Hestated that “we need international standards because itis an international issue.” Genetic material is not con-fined by county, state, or even country lines, and there-fore GM crops cannot be effectively controlled withina single area; there must be regulations that are agreedupon and carried out worldwide. Mr. Bengston feelsthat GMOs are “hard to regulate at this latedate…When you have one county doing it, it is prettyimpossible.” Those opposing the ban claim that it isnot all-inclusive, that the exceptions may cause battlesin the future, and that the ban is ineffective.
Measure H passed because of concerns for the manyorganic farmers in Mendocino County. Mr. Nelsonstates that “it falls to the organic grower to make surethat there are enough buffers so that cross pollinationcannot happen.” That said, the organic grower has theresponsibility to protect his own crops whereas theGMO grower does not have the responsibility to con-tain his own pollen. By banning GM crops inMendocino County , voters are effectively protectingthe interests of the organic growers. If there are nofarmers that raise GMOs, the organic growers do nothave to protect their crops from their neighbors.
However, Mr. Bengston states that, while “organicgrowers cannot use GMOs themselves … there isnothing to say that they have violated the law or getdecertified if they get drifted upon.” According to thisstatement, organic growers do not have to fear decerti-fication in light of pollen drift. Leith Gardner, a tradi-tional hybridizer at Zaiger Genetics, concedes thatgene transfer from field to field “is a problem, but it isnot an insurmountable problem” in light of all of thepotential benefits.
Genetic contamination is merely one of the argu-ments against genetically engineered foods. Accordingto Els Cooperrider, former medical researcher and cur-rent co-owner of the Ukiah Brewing Company, as wellas a major proponent of Measure H, the worst problemwith GMOs is “the unintended consequences.” “We
Not herTo the Editor:I was recently informed something that
was printed in the Daily Journal this lastweekend, a person named Eran Haas wasarrested for DUI. I am concerned becausemy name is Erin Haas, and I am of closeage to this person. I am a mother of threelittle girls, and a wife of a police officer. Ihave lived here in this town for over threeyears, and have made sure that I have animpeccable reputation. This arrest hascaused a number of phone calls and suspi-cion towards me in the community. WhileI can’t control that someone with my samename was arrested, or that it was in thepolice log, I want to protect my reputa-tion. I just need to clarify that this was notme.

Charter schools not the problem
To the Editor:Mr. Lawrence Ames seems to think that
charter schools are the cause of the bud-getary problems of UUSD. He asks thequestion if we think that there are lessschool age children in Ukiah than therewere 20 years ago. In fact, 20 years agowas the peak of school aged children pro-duced by the baby boomers followingWWII. That could be part of the decline inenrollment. The other factor is school vio-lence. Although I believe the schools atUUSD do an excellent job at providing atraditional education to our youth, manyfamilies will do anything to keep theirchildren in a safe, hospitable environment.Many people home-school but I don’t hearMr. Ames advocating for laws to prohibithome-schooling. The smaller class sizes,increased individualized attention, art,music, conflict resolution, cooperativegames, and sense of community offeredby charter schools are very attractive tofamilies who want the best education fortheir children away from racial intoleranceand gang violence. If charter schools canprovide a better and safer education forour children, is that a reason to closethem?

Take down the bird feeder?To the Editor:I bought a bird feeder. I hung it on my
back porch and filled it with seed. Withina week we had hundreds of birds takingadvantage of the continuous flow of freeand easily accessible food. But then thebirds started building nests in the boardsof the patio, above the table, and next tothe barbecue. Then came the poop. It waseverywhere: on the patio tile, the chairs,the table ... everywhere. Then some of thebirds turned mean: They would dive bombme and try to peck me even though I hadfed them out of my own pocket. And oth-ers birds were boisterous and loud: Theysat on the feeder and squawked andscreamed at all hours of the day and nightand demanded that I fill it when it got lowon food. After a while, I couldn’t even siton my own back porch anymore. I tookdown the bird feeder and in three days thebirds were gone. I cleaned up their messand took down the many nests they hadbuilt all over the patio. Soon, the backyard was like it used to be, quiet, sereneand no one demanding their rights to afree meal.
Now lets see, our government gives outfree food, subsidized housing, free med-ical care, free education and allows any-one born here to be a automatic citizen.Then the illegals came by the tens of thou-sands. Suddenly our taxes went up to payfor free services; small apartments arehousing five families: you have to wait 6hours to be seen by an emergency roomdoctor: you child’s 2nd grade class isbehind other schools because over half theclass doesn’t speak English: Corn Flakesnow come in a bilingual box; I have topress “one” to hear my bank talk to me inEnglish, and people waving flags otherthan “Old Glory” are squawking andscreaming in the streets, demanding morerights and free liberties. Maybe it’s timefor the government to take down the birdfeeder.

Letters from our readers
In the past couple ofyears, growth pressures fromthe South resulted in a num-ber of large proposed devel-opments on the outskirts ofUkiah. Were a number ofthese proposals to go for-ward, the Ukiah Valley aswe know it would be gone.Given the magnitude ofthese proposed changes, res-idents of the Ukiah Valleyasked elected representa-tives to reevaluate existingland use plans. The resulthas been planning initiativeson the part of the County andCity.
The County made a deci-sion to review the UkiahValley Area Plan (UVAP).That was a good decision.However, although Ukiah islocated in the Valley, it mayshock you to learn the UVAPdoes not encompass Ukiah.
Given the various govern-mental jurisdictions, theCounty’s quandary became,how can one do the Valleyplanning review residentsrequested without partnering
with Ukiah? The County’s“solution” was to invite theCity to sit at the County’stable, but more as a guestrather than a partner withjoint, collaborative decision-making power.Unfortunately, the solutiondid not also involve invitingregional planning entities,LAFCO and MCOG, to thetable. But omitting these twoagencies is a topic for anoth-er day.
Although the City andCounty are inter-related andwholly inter-dependent onthe ground, no unifiedframework for reviewingand approaching these plan-ning issues was proposed.Furthermore, once these ini-tiatives are complete, thereis no agreed upon imple-mentation strategy betweenthe City and County.
What caught my attention
at the April 24 joint meetingbetween the City andCounty was, although CityCouncil members and Cityplanners were engaged inthe discussion about thevision and goals discussedby consultant facilitating themeeting, not one CountySupervisor or CountyPlanning Commissionercommented in this part ofthe discussion
Where does the Countyactually stand on theseissues? Where is it’s vision?What are its goals?
Where can the City, whois the invited guest at thetable, go with it’s enthusi-asm for this review and pro-vide leadership in thisprocess? I think one avenueof focus open to the City ishousing.

The pros and cons of GMOs
In our opinion
We can understand and agree with con-cerns about any neighborhood mini-martselling Rambo knives and BB guns and wewould hope that Mr. Ghulam Ansari, who isdeveloping the new food mart by the GraceHudson School means it when he says hewon’t sell such products if the communitydoesn’t want him to.
That, however, is as far as we’re willingto go in protesting Mr. Ansari’s enterprise.
School employees and some parents ofstudents at Grace Hudson have been protest-ing for months Mr. Ansari’s intent to sellbeer and wine at the mini-mart.
With that we can’t agree.First, we don’t believe that the presence
of beer and wine in a local food mart meansthat the school and its children are doomedto live in an alcoholic haze soon to descendon campus from drunken neighborhoodlouts. After all, liquor is served at restaurantsright across the street, there’s a bar nextdoor, and other small markets nearby.
We also think it’s a big jump to assumethat the fact of beer and wine sales in what isknown to be a low-income neighborhoodautomatically means trouble.
There is no habit in this county that weknow of to deny routine permits for the saleof beer and wine in local neighborhoods,even those where a school exists.
Mr. Ansari had every reason to believethat when he purchased the property hecould put it to a use which exists widelythroughout the Ukiah Valley. And while weunderstand that alcohol permits are alwayssubject to community scrutiny, we do notbelieve this one presents a critical danger toanyone.
If we wish to limit the sale of beer andwine in certain areas of our county weshould pass ordinances saying just that, sothat legitimate prospective business ownersknow the rules before they buy, not getblindsided afterwards.
Beer and wine no threat to neighborhood

Thanks for covering the FarmBureau’s tour of the Eel RiverWatershed in your publication. I wonderif now the Farm Bureau and the Boardof Supervisors will get over their fantasyof “diverting winter high-water flows”from the Eel River at Dos Rios.Obviously, if that system had been inplace this year, there would have beenno “high-water” to divert! And it’s noth-ing new. Our county has cycles ofdrought like the one we’re currentlyexperiencing every 5 to 7 years.
This is the dilemma: How do youbase development on (irrigation) pipedreams, and then explain to those whoplanted those new vineyards or builtthose new homes that, oops, some yearsthere simply is no water.
Time to get back to the drawing boardand re-vision both ag and housing devel-opment in Mendocino County, based onthe true carrying capacity of the land.
First: You’ve gotta quit planting frost-sensitive crops that rely on largeamounts of water to survive, and goback to rangeland and local climate-based agriculture. There’s a reason noone planted vineyards there a hundredyears ago. It’s called frost and drought.You can’t beat Mother Nature.
Second: Quit building out areas (likeBrooktrails) that were never intended foryear-round residences. It was originallydeveloped as a hunt and fish club to takethe kids camping on the weekends,swim in Lake Emily, play a few roundsof golf, and then head back home. Nowwe have a full-on, over crowded, traffic-
jammed mess - and everyone cryingbecause they can’t build out the other1,500 lots up there. County financedrainwater catchment systems would befar more cost-effective than the millionsit would cost to divert more water out ofthe Eel River and pipe it all the way tonew reservoirs in Willits.
Is it appropriate to destroy anotherwatershed in order to support the wish-ful thinking of the above two scenarios -
both of which only create more dilem-mas? Before we had vineyards and$500,000 homes in this county did wehave gang violence, the need for bilin-gual classrooms and methamphetamineabuse? No. The Hispanics who workedthe ranches learned our language and didnot abuse drugs. And they were betterpaid, too!
Increased need for minimum-wageworkers to pick grapes in Boonville andRedwood Valley and clean houses andmow lawns for retired fat cats meansincreased gang presence and violentcrimes in Ukiah, Boonville, RedwoodValley and Willits. They don’t makeenough money to buy homes, pay taxesand provide for their children - sothey’re on the streets, trying to surviveany way they can.
And who really benefits? A handfulof winery owners and a few developerswho laugh at the rest of us all the way tothe bank!
It’s time to wake up, MendocinoCounty, all this development is not ben-efiting you. Our tax dollars are beingexploited and diverted to benefit thefew, not the many who need betterschools, better libraries, better roads, areal public transportation service thatcan get us to work and school on timeand real jobs where a homeowner canmake an honest day’s pay for an honestday’s work and be able to afford to paythe bills without having to send momand sis out to work, too.

Photos and interviews by Zack Sampsel.
The world of today is a place with instanta-neous global communication and (delays at thedeparture gate notwithstanding), rapid world-wide travel. Nevertheless, as the New York lawfirm of Birbrower, Montalbano, Condon &Frank learned a few years ago, some quaint,eighteenth-century concepts like “state lines”still mean something in the Age of the Internet.
In 1992, the Birbrower firm was hired byESQ Business Services, Inc., a software com-pany located in (surprise of surprises) SantaClara County, California. During 1992 and1993, the firm spent considerable time repre-senting ESQ in a dispute with another comput-er company, which included its attorneys mak-ing multiple trips to California to advise ESQ’spersonnel and to negotiate with the rival com-pany. During all of this time, however, theBirbrower firm had no one working for it whowas licensed to practice law in California.
ESQ eventually settled its dispute with theother company, but was not happy with theresult. So, apparently believing that it had beentalked into a bad deal, it turned around andsued Birbrower in a California court for mal-practice (this time hiring a California law firmto represent it). Birbrower, believing that it wasowed about $1 million in attorney’s fees, coun-tersued for those unpaid fees.
ESQ’s response (ably assisted, no doubt, byits new law firm) was to argue that Birbrowerwas not entitled to be paid anything becausenone of its lawyers ere licensed in California.What chutzpah! What cheek! (Of course, ifsomeone claims that you owe them $1 million,and you spend $900,000 to defend yourself,you’ve got a clear profit of $100,000 .. . .right?)
After various maneuvers, the case ended upbefore the California Supreme Court.Surprisingly enough, the Supreme Courtagreed with ESQ that, except for a smallamount of work done while its attorneys werephysically present in New York State,Birbrower indeed could not get paid for legalwork its attorneys had done for ESQ.
The first question this raises is just what ismeant by “legal services” or “practicing law,”of course. The statutes don’t give much help,
so one is forced to fall back on court decisions.Even though it decided this case in 1998, theCalifornia Supreme Court reached into a 1922decision for a definition that, essentially, “prac-ticing law” means doing those things that onewould normally have to hire a lawyer to do.
That’s why one goes to the CaliforniaSupreme Court - to answer those questions thatcan’t be answered anywhere else.
Well, okay - the court was actually a littlemore specific than that, focusing on hings likedrafting legal documents, giving legal advice,and appearing in court. But by crossing thestate line into California to do these things -and perhaps more importantly, by renderingthese services to a company located inCalifornia - Birbrower gave up its entitlementto be compensated for its work. It didn’t matterthat the Birbrower lawyers were licensed inNew York; in effect, they were practicing lawin California without a license every bit asmuch as folks who had never set foot inside alaw school.
This raises some other interesting questions.For instance, if the Birbrower lawyers weren’tentitled to get paid, could they still be sued formalpractice? After all, if ESQ wanted to treatthe Birbrower folks as non-attorneys to get outof paying them, how could it - at the same time
- hold them to the standard for legal compe-tence? Unfortunately, the Supreme Court’sdecision doesn’t help much on this issue,because the court only addressed whetherBirbrower was entitled to be paid.
The Birbrower case has been heavily-criti-cized by some legal commentators, who arguethat it’s unfair in the modern world where com-munication no longer respects state or evennational boundaries - where one can chat dailyvia the Internet with someone in South Africa,Taiwan, or Chile - to make such a big dealabout state borders. Companies don’t want tobe constrained by such “artificial barriers” indeciding what talent they hire - and ESQ was asoftware company, for crying out loud!
Well . . . all of that may be true. But as longas the Birbrower case is around, it does ensureone thing: all those computer and softwarefirms in Silicon Valley (and anywhere else inCalifornia) will have to stay away from carpet-baggers and riff-raff from places like NewYork.
Birbrower, Montalbano, Condon & Frank,P.C. v. Superior Court (ESQ Business Services,Inc.) (1998) 17 Cal.4th 119
It’s the simple things in life that cangive great rewards. Forget bouquets andtrophies; most of us are grateful for goodmanners or kind words spoken to us by –anyone.
Feeling worn on a recent Friday after-noon, a few teacher friends and I foundourselves cheering a bit (good food anddrink helped, too) as we recalled thought-ful parting comments from our day’s“clients.”
“Several students leaving my classestoday stopped to tell me, ‘Have a goodweekend, Ms. Warda.’” Those teens,chatting and chipper, had the anticipationof the upcoming prom stirring in theirsouls, yet some made the effort to gracetheir tired old teacher with a positivefarewell; they had no idea how much thatmeans. Just when you want to give up,give out or give in – a kind word helps. Itis refreshing to see that some parentshave modeled good manners to theiryoung.
Humans do not naturally act altruistic;it’s not an instinct for us, I believe. Ourspecies has survived in part due to itscunning and strategy. Kindness doesn’tput you on top of the food chain.
I can post my BP Rules all over myclassroom and point to them every day,but that won’t necessarily make students“Be Prompt, Be Prepared, and BePolite!” But, I can model and mentionthem – and hope they CHOOSE to obeythese Basic Principles.
Civility can win you friends and createharmony, but may not propel you up thecareer ladder or help you make your firstmillion any quicker. Yet, if you study thepsychology of good manners, you findthat ego IS what often develops kindnatures.
We learn when very young, hopefully,that saying “please” and “thank you”may bring us success. We may get whatwe want by saying those “magic” words.At least, it increases our odds and usual-
ly works on folks when we’re children,anyway.
Admit it – even as adults, we’ve allbuttered up somebody of whom we wantto ask a favor. Weren’t we taught that youget more by using honey than vinegar?So…being polite is usually good for us.Then, why are there so many doggonerude people in our world?
The big EGO is to blame for that aswell. When we think so much of our-selves that we can’t imagine being theother person, we may not treat them aswe’d like to be treated. We know theGolden Rule; but a strong sense of selfmay also prevent us from doing the kinddeed or being generous at our expense.
I just finished one of the most enter-taining nonfiction books I’ve read in along time – hands down! It’s called “Talkto the Hand” by Lynne Truss, a Britishwoman with a great sense of humor andwit.
Much of today’s rudeness is becausewe don’t think of other people; we cannotpossibly be polite without considerationof others’ feelings. We all know we can’tgive everyone what they want; life’s dis-appointments are often our reality. But,the importance of the “other” is monu-mental within society; we are social crea-tures who must adhere to basic civility orforfeit any possible joy or satisfaction oflife on this planet.
Truss discusses many scenarios wherecivility – or lack of it affects us. At onepoint, she talks about being kind to retailclerks, especially if they serve you right
after another customer has mistreatedthem. If you try to sympathize, she relatesthat their response may not be the oneyou expect because, sadly, many folks inretail can only survive by not noticing orcaring about a customer’s rudeness.
“This makes it quite hard to gothrough the ensuing politeness displaywithout feeling self-conscious, or evenquaint. ‘May I please have it wrappedseparately?’ you ask, with your smile fad-ing. ‘Thank you, that’s perfect, how kindyou are.’ The ground starts to slip fromunder you, as no validating responsecomes your way, yet you are powerless tostop being polite and old-fashioned. ‘Andwhat a fine morning, forsooth!’ youexclaim. ‘Ha. By God’s breath, thou hasta cunning way with yon mechanical aba-cus! Hast thou a quill-pen prithee? Ormayhap I must digitate upon yon artfulkeypad?’” (Her digression intoShakespearean style is especially witty toAnglophiles!)
Unlike the “old days” where only face-to-face communication existed, we nowcan be rude to anyone in the world via theinternet. When we are faceless andanonymous, there is not the same need totreat people with consideration.
Someone has even proposed a BloggerCode of Conduct, which discouragespostings online that we wouldn’t say inperson. Well, that might eliminate afew…but some mighty rude commentsare made everyday to our faces, as wellas on blogs, in chat rooms, or on the airby people who have too much ego andnot enough basic social graces. Noteveryone makes it into the headlines likeDon Imus.
Give people their free speech; howev-er, wouldn’t it be nice if we chose to saythings which made the world a betterplace?

I have been a long timeadvocate of building out fromthe core (Ukiah), from wherethe infrastructure exists. Ibelieve it is the only viableway to preserve our smalltown experience, maintain ouragriculture base, and preventfurther sprawl. Buildingwhere the infrastructure existswas the basic message of thefilm series inspired and imple-mented by Evan Johnson andthe Ukiah Valley SmartGrowth Coalition (UVSGC)early in 2006. As the filmsdemonstrated, valleys such asours are lost to developmentone acre at a time.
Learning from the success-es repeated over and overagain in the film series, toavoid further sprawl, one sug-gestion is that Ukiah explicit-ly commit itself to considerabsorbing more housing. Inorder to do this, the Citywould need to look at its cur-rent inventory of potentialhousing and infill sites withthe goal of specifically deter-mining how much housing theCity can and wants to absorb.The City would need to createand put incentives in its codesto facilitate housing develop-ment, inventory current andpotential economic resources(redevelopment monies forone), and determine the feasi-bility of marshalling thoseresources to facilitate thisdevelopment. They wouldclearly need to considergrowth restraints such aswater availability and sewer
plant capacity.Had the City reached this
explicit commitment by now,the recent, highly successfulgateway planning processwould have been furtherenhanced by working moreconcretely with incorporatingthis housing concept into theoverall designs beingexplored.
If the city undertakes thisreview soon, the results oftheir initiative would be on thetable for UVAP considerationin the same way all other“developments” being consid-ered for the valley are on thetable. It becomes part of thepublic discussion, gives theCity the opportunity to act inan area they do control, and inessence dramatically impactthe ultimate outcome of theUVAP.
However, first of all, Cityleaders need to determine ifthe concepts I am giving voiceto are concepts Ukiah resi-dents and those living in thesurrounding “region” supportand embrace. In short, thislong-percolating idea needs tomove from the idea stage tothe action stage. In order tobecome viable, there needs tobe a public discourse - - a dis-course not much different thanwe’ve been having but a dis-course that has this specificdirection and goal. Perhapsthere could be City-leadworkshops on the idea withCity staff being directed tobring forth the necessaryinventory data as a startingpoint for discussion. TheUVSGC also plans a housingforum in the near future.
I am raising this housingfocus to prompt discussion
and invite revision, refine-ment, enhancement, or per-haps rejection. Perhaps indi-vidual community memberscan view this area of focusagainst the back drop of theirown perspective on communi-ty planning by the City andCounty, and the seeminglyseparate pursuit by the Countyof a new Justice Center. Doesincorporating more housing inUkiah align with your initia-tive? If so, consider how youmight move forward withyour idea?
Individually, one couldcontact friends or groups youbelong to discuss this plan-ning issue,speak with electedofficials or decision-makersworking on this issue, writeletters to the editor, or speak-ing at City Council or BOSmeetings.
If this concept does notgain interest or is rejected, sobe it. That would be the will ofthe people. My concern is ifthis or other initiatives are nottaken, we will be mired in thisill-structured, uninspiredCounty response to our com-munity‚s desire for a growthgoing forward. Absentapproaches that can breakthrough this bureaucratic logjam, the situation can easilydevolve into ancient commu-nity polarized positions. If wecollectively cannot invigoratethis potentially debate-chang-ing planning opportunity,maybe the small town qualityof life all of us across thepolitical spectrum seem totreasure will slip away.Antonio Andrade is a Ukiahresident.

I agree with Congressman Conyers, ourhealth delivery system is flawed. However,Universal Health Care cannot solve the healthcrisis in our nation without due attention tomore foundational factors.
I am a retired California classroom teacher,and presently, a health educator and certifiednutrition educator, and am knowledgeable inthe effects of stress, toxins, and devitalizedfoods on the human body. It is time to stoplooking for “miracles” - like stem cells andprescription drugs, and medical plans as solecorrections of chronic illness. It is time tolook at the pollution, chemicals, and depletedsoils that produce devitalized food, toxins inour food, metal toxicity, pesticides and otherinjurious substances. plus the stress that aconsumer driven, achievement oriented cul-ture imposes upon people, and the roles theseplay in the health crisis in our country.
Our devitalized/unhealthy diets, resultingfrom foods created with profit instead ofhuman health as the motive, create blockagesand disruptions in the body that lead to mal-functioning organs and body systems. Theseblockages hence lead to the diseases that folksthink will go away if only we pass legislationon stem cell development or more prescrip-tion drug plans, or Universal Health Care pro-grams. The problems are not as simplistic as a“magic bullet,” regardless of how useful atool that may appear to be. The bigger pictureis enormous and requires conscious attentionto underlying problems in our environmentand attitudes in our culture. It requires mone-tary support for health and nutrition educationprograms, as well as legislation workingtoward improved food quality
In a related vein, as a retired Californiateacher, I understand, as well, the role educa-tion and stress of externally referenced pro-grams have in the emotional, physical healthof our children and future adults. The “stan-dards” test the “software” ( data learned).However, nutrition and healthy psychologicalattitudes are the “operating system.” We cancontinue to insert more and more programsinto children’s (and adults) brains. However,if the physiological/ psychological structuresare distorted by nutritional depletion, toxicity,and a system focused upon academic compe-tence with out value and attention given to theunique educational needs of a child, thedevelopment of critical thinking skills, theacknowledgement of the growth of conscious-ness, and the nutritional needs of a properlyfunctioning brain, the education system will
continue to insist upon running more andmore software on corrupted operating sys-tems. This is not effective to the developmentof a population of centered, healthy, criticallythinking, compassionate humans.
Not only does the following have a ring oftruth:
“The destiny of nations depends on themanner in which they feed themselves.”
- Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin in ThePhysiology of Taste (1825)
but, more importantly :Where there is no vision, the people perish. (Proverbs) Vision, to me, includes actions that take
into consideration the good of the whole - ie.addressing problem of global warming, takinga hard look at our agricultural practices andfood production that line the pockets of cor-porations, while sickening our citizens, andcultural addictive over consumption. We mustchoose to place health before the grossnational product, and have the foresight toconsider what the ramification of our actionswill be generations hence.
A discussion of the relationship betweenour agricultural practices, food processing,emotional and intellectual functioning (& lackthereof) and formation of disease states islong overdue.
The American health crisis needs a newfoundation that must be addressed before weare able to see viable results from a newstructure.
I came through a life threatening immunecollapse 25 years ago with no insurance. Isold my home to pay for alternative treatment.I finally got Medicare at age 65 and find that,while certain aspects of the program are help-ful - for which I am grateful, there is empha-sis on sickness and not wellness. The programsupports “Big Pharma,” dispensing drugswhich, statistics prove, often create iatrogenicillness (hence - far more illness and highermedical costs) as well as drug related deaths,while omitting attention to underlying health,social, and economic issues.
It’s time for consideration of these deepercauses of poor health to be brought to thetable for discussion and action.

No pity hereTo the Editor:I have little pity for people
that bought homes just to gar-ner the profit on reselling itbased on the way propertywas going up. What they do istake housing out of the handsof those trying to buy a home,not an investment. Theyrefused to believe the profes-sionals that said the bubble
will burst. Now there are hor-ror stories about how manyforeclosures there are.Investors have no reason tohold on to a losing investmentwhereas a homeowner willonly go into foreclosure ifthey lose their jobs or some-thing drastic.
Lenders never learn thatand go down with theinvestors. They then comeunder scrutiny by their over-seers and with chagrin theyadmit they made a mistake.
They will make the same mis-take over and over againbecause of the income theyget.
They get the same incomefrom families buying homesbut they are caught in thefeeding frenzy and madeinvestor loans. It is tough tostay out of that field but thosethat do are never hurt as muchas those that do investmentlending.

Puzzled by immigrant’s behavior
To the Editor:Marrying a bank robber and then com-
plaining about the law locking him up after hepulls a heist, is the same as marrying an ille-gal alien and complaining when the lawdeports him because he broke immigrationlaws. Laws have consequences! At least theyshould have. It doesn’t seem to me thatRichelle Magana and her sister RoseanneGonzalez, both living in Ukiah, had much ofan attachment to their husbands that weredeported for breaking immigration laws.Rather than following them back to Mexicoafter they were deported, they just dumpedthem and picked up new illegals. What dothey plan on doing if their first husbandscross the border illegally again and return?How do you say polygamy in Spanish?

don’t know what the longterm consequences are” shesaid. “Not enough thoughtwent into GE before we beganto use GMOs.” She states thatwe could have foreseen manyof the problems we are nowencountering with GMOs “ifwe had gone slowly andthought about what they couldbe.” Ms. Cooperrider cited thecontamination of the rice sup-ply in the United States as anexample of an unintendedconsequence that could havebeen foreseen and prevented.She stated that due to geneticpollution “the two most com-mon forms of rice grown inthe United States are now con-taminated with GMOs.”
Proponents of GE believethat, despite the fact that rela-tively little is known aboutGE, the technology has greatpotential. Ms. Gardner statesthat “it is a good tool ... toimprove the crop or whateverplant you are working on to beable to expand its growthhabits, to make it diseaseresistant or drought resistant.In the future it will be a goodtool to use in improving whatwe eat.” For example, geneti-cists have created GoldenRice, rice containing vitamin
A, which could benefit peoplein developing countries suf-fering from disorders causedby a lack of the vitamin.However, Fred Marshall,a concerned local farmer,agricultural consultant, andactive proponent of MeasureH, stated that the amount ofGolden Rice one would haveto consume to make up for adeficiency is immense,because the rice does not con-tain enough of the vitamin tomake an impact. Mr.Bengston also pointed out thatGE has been used in advancesin medicine; “80 percent ofinsulin is GM insulin and of ahigher quality.” Proponentsfeel that all new technologyhas some unknowns, but GEengineering also has greatpotential.
The unease most peoplefeel concerning GMOs is safe-ty. Many feel that not enoughtesting was required beforethey were approved for gener-al consumption. Mr. Marshallfeels that those responsible fortesting new GM crops areoften “unscrupulous and ruth-less.” The testers are oftenaffiliated with the corpora-tions attempting to get theirproducts approved, and theresulting problem is a conflictof interests.
On the other hand, whenasked about safety concernsMr. Nelson said, “we are liv-
ing longer and healthier lives,and it doesn’t seem like(GMOs) are affecting us neg-atively.” Many believe that nodeaths or illnesses have yetbeen attributed to GM foods.According to Mr. Bengston“the consensus of the scientif-ic community is that it is notvery dangerous and posesvery little risk … GMOs havebeen around in the food sup-ply and in processed food for20 years and if these thingswould have happened theywould have happened already… and there would have beenactual cases.”
Mr. Marshall feels that“potentially there are a lot ofbenefits. The question is: atwhat cost?” Opponents ofgenetic engineering feel thatthe unknowns are just toogreat.
GMOs are lauded by somewho claim that there is greatpotential in advances in medi-cine and agriculture.Proponents of GE feel that weshould not condemn scientificadvances merely becausethere are unknowns.
Perhaps the solution to thegenetic engineering questionwould be an internationalmandatory labeling law, there-by allowing the consumer achoice to avoid GM food ifthey choose.

Check most statistics com-paring blacks and whites inAmerica, and you'll find toomany African-American boysand men lagging. While thenumber of black men earningcollege degrees has quadru-pled since the 1960s, thenumber growing up in disad-vantaged circumstances hasalso grown.
That latter group has led toa "crisis" among young blackmales that threatens the entirenation, according to theNational Urban League'sState of Black America 2007report.
According to the report,African-American men aremore than twice as likely tobe unemployed as white men.In the work force, blackmales on average earn onlyabout 75 percent of whattheir white male counterpartsmake. Blacks are nearlyseven times more likely to goto jail, and their average sen-tences tend to be 10 monthslonger. ...
To address these problems,the national civil rights groupsuggests greater emphasis onapproaches we have longsupported. Among them areexpanded opportunities for
early childhood education,more experimentation withall-male schools, longerschool days and mentoringand additional second-chanceprograms for high schooldropouts and ex-offenders. ...
The group also placesresponsibility on black com-munities and parents. Thereport says adults must con-stantly reinforce the value ofa good education. ...
To help at-risk black boysand men reach their full pro-ductive potential, such effortsmerit much more support.
The Watertown(N.Y.) Daily TimesOn the census
The next census won't beuntil 2010, but already spe-cial interests groups are lin-ing up to get their place onthe questionnaire which everyAmerican household will beasked to complete and returnthree years from now.
The 2000 census broughtcomplaints about the overlyintrusive nature of the longform sent to 19 millionhouseholds. The 53-questionform asked Americans about
their socio-economic status,housing costs, indoor plumb-ing, employment status andhow they get to work. It wentfar beyond the original, andonly constitutional require-ment for conducting a censusevery 10 years for the pur-pose of reapportioning con-gressional seats.
The long form will nolonger be used. Instead, ashorter form will be sent toall households asking aboutthe gender, age, race and eth-nicity of all members, theirrelationship to the head of thehousehold and whether thehouse is owned or rented.The decision has raisedobjections from some groupsthat had come to rely on theeconomic and social data pro-vided by the long form.
Special interest groupshave also used the census toadvance their cause and gainpolitical clout when seekinggovernment action or fund-ing. ...
The Census Bureau shouldresist pressure to expand its2010 questionnaire. Keep itto the basic information need-ed to do what the census wasintended for.

Ukiah losesclose game toElsie AllenBy ROBERT MURDOCKFor The Daily Journal
Top dog in the North Bayleague more than likely won'tbe determined until the lastgame. The Ukiah Wildcatsadded to the suspense as theylost a tough game at Antonstadium Friday to Elsie Allen.
A stellar pitching perfor-mance and a titanic home run
to straight away center fieldwas their undoing.
The ’Cats wasted outstand-ing pitching of its own whenAndrew Brown gave themwhat usually would have beenenough, going six full innings.Brown gave up one earned runwith seven strike outs, fivehits and only two walks.
An unusual triple play wasadded by the defense in thefourth inning. The lead offbatter was hit by the pitch,
Former UHS volleyball coachmoves on to collegiate ranksThe Daily Journal
When long time MendocinoCollege Head Volleyball Coach EdSchweitzer retired after the 2006 sea-son, Ori Polkinghorne was presentedwith an opportunity that was simplytoo good to pass up.
“I was mentored by Ed and healways encouraged me to keep coach-ing and develop myself as a coach. Ilove coaching high school, but whenthe Mendocino College job cameopen, it was an unbelievable opportu-nity for me,” the former Ukiah HighSchool Women’s Volleyball Coachsaid.
Originally from Huntington Beachand a graduate of both Marina HighSchool and Golden West College,Polkinghorne has spent a number ofyears teaching and coaching volleyballat local high schools.
After earning his B.S. in Health andExercise Physiology and teaching cre-dential from Chico State University in
1991, Polkinghorne was hired at ClearLake High School in 1992. He spenteight seasons at Clear Lake HighSchool as a JV and a varsity volleyballcoach as well as a special educationteacher. Polkinghorne eventually went
on to receive a special education cre-dential from Sonoma State Universityin 1997.
“When I got my first teaching job atClear Lake High, the secretary saw onmy application that I had played vol-leyball in high school and college.Originally, I was planning on coachingfootball or basketball but they neededa head volleyball coach, so I took thejob and I’ve been coaching volleyballever since,” Polkinghorne said.
Polkinghorne also taught at UpperLake High School and WindsorMiddle School, before becoming theUkiah High School head volleyballcoach in 2004.
This past season, Polkinghorne ledUkiah High School to a 20-7 record, atie for second place in the North BayLeague, and a second round appear-ance in the North Coast Section play-offs.
In his high school coaching career,Polkinghorne has produced four col-lege players.
Polkinghorne plans to build on theprevious Mendocino College volley-ball success established by Schweitzer,while adding a few of his own wrin-kles.
“I am walking into a situationwhere I don’t have to re-invent the
wheel and I’m taking over a programthat has been very successful and com-petitive,” Polkinghorne said.
Polkinghorne hopes to be success-ful in recruiting with his knowledge ofthe North Bay and North Coast Leaguecoaches and programs, along withaggressively recruiting all the highschools in the Mendocino Collegerecruiting district.
Polkinghorne, who spent time as agraduate assistant strength coach forChico State’s Men’s Basketball pro-gram in 1990, wants to establish ayear-around training program for hisstudent-athletes.
Committed to the development offemale athletes in the sport of volley-ball, Polkinghorne has also served asthe director of the Mendo-LakeSpikers Volleyball Club for the pastthree years. The Mendo-Lake SpikersVolleyball Club is a local girls’ volley-ball program for ages 18 and under.
Coach Polkinghorne and his wifeDina have two children. Their daugh-ter Olivia is an 8th grader at PomolitaMiddle School and their son, Quinn, isa sophomore at Mendocino Collegeand is on the football team. CoachPolkinghorne works as a ResourceSpecialist in the Ukiah School District,serving the Charter Academy of theRedwoods.

ALAMEDA — The poster-sized picture of Randy Mossmaking a leaping catch wastaken down from the OaklandRaiders’ facility within hoursof his trade to New England.
Seventh-round pickJohnathan Holland andundrafted free agent MarquiseCole each are wearing Moss’old uniform number, yet gen-erating much less attentionthan the old No. 18. The briefbut unproductive Randy Mossera in Oakland is officiallyover.
“It seemed a little odd atthe time but a number is anumber,” Holland said. “I amnot going to dwell on it. It’shis old number and it’s mynumber now so you just haveto roll with the punches anddeal with it.”
Dealing with life withoutMoss is not so difficult con-sidering the Raiders didn’thave much of Moss last sea-
son anyway. He complainedthe situation around the teamwas “fishy” before the openerwas even played and used hisradio show to criticize theteam and suggest he’d be bet-ter off getting traded.
He ended the season withcareer lows with 42 catchesfor 553 yards and three touch-downs — blaming the poorproduction in part on his ownunhappiness.
The Randy Moss that leftOakland last week for NewEngland in a trade for afourth-round draft pick was alot different than the big-playreceiver who arrived with apolice escort two years ago.
“I’ve always thought thathe was a great player and thestuff that he brought to thetable way outweighed any-thing that you’ll get a littleexternally,” defensive tackleWarren Sapp said. “But Iguess somebody upstairs saidit didn’t. So those are the deci-sions that are made around
here. I don’t have to agreewith them. I just have to goplay. So let’s go play foot-ball.”
The deal leaves 28-year-oldJerry Porter as the veteran
leader of the receiving crew.Porter had only one catch lastyear when his playing timewas limited because of

The throw to third washigh but backed up by AlexDelgado in left who threw toBrown, who was covering thebag.
The theatrics at Anton onFriday featured the lead offhitter getting on base fivetimes, three successful sacri-fices to put runners in scoringposition and coming awayempty each time.
The pitching job done bythe Elsie ace had something todo with this as he struck out12 Ukiah hitters and onlywalked two, he also held theCats to five base hits, on hisway to a complete-game vic-
tory.Coach Busse suggested
ways early in the year that theNorth Bay League wouldprobably be won by a teamwith as many as six loses.

The Associated PressRICHMOND, Va. — Rain
washed out the NASCARNextel Cup race at RichmondInternational Raceway afteronly 12 caution laps Saturdaynight, forcing officials to post-pone the event until Sunday.
Following introductionsand other prerace festivities,the race began on time, butstill with jet dry-ers on the trackand the cars cir-cling under cau-tion.
On the 12thlap, as a lightdrizzle that grewstronger fell,NASCAR sawthe forecasts formore rain com-ing true, andordered the carsto pit road. Thenext time theymoved was to the garage, towait to start all over at 1:15p.m. Sunday.
It’s the first time a NextelCup race at Richmond has
been postponed since May2002, when the event went offthe next day and Tony Stewartearned the victory.
The rainout was somethingof a new experience for rook-ie Juan Pablo Montoya, whojoined NASCAR this yearafter racing in CART andFormula One. The latter races
in the rain, andMontoya saidsimilar condi-tions yielded oneof his morem e m o r a b l eraces.
“Probably thebest story iswhen half thefield in FormulaOne wrecked inthe same cornerin Brazil,” theColombian said,guessing that the
race happened in 2003.“It was raining hard, but
there was like a river comingacross the track.”

injuries and a feud with thecoaching staff. But he is muchhappier this season under newcoach Lane Kiffin.
After spending nearly allhis career behind more promi-nent receivers like Jerry Rice,Tim Brown and Moss, Porteris being counted on to step upthis season.
“I’m like the fifth oldestguy on the team,” Porter said.“I remember back in the daywe had a guy who was 40something years old. Me noteven being 30 and I’m thefifth-oldest guy. Youth move-ment, in a hurry. We neededit.”
The Raiders other returningreceivers include AlvisWhitted, who started 15games but did not score atouchdown last season; lastyear’s leading receiver RonaldCurry and Doug Gabriel.
Curry, who had 62 catchesfor 727 yards and one touch-down last year, said Moss’absence won’t change howany of the other receivers
approach their jobs.“I feel like we still have
one of the better receivingcorps in the league,” Currysaid. “Obviously when youlose a guy like Randy it willknock it down a little bit. Westill have some talented guysout there. ... Our wide receiv-er group will still be good.”
Oakland also brought informer first-round pick MikeWilliams, who struggled intwo seasons with Detroit buthopes to recover under for hisformer college assistant,Kiffin. Then there are the twodraft picks, third-rounderJohnnie Lee Higgins out ofUTEP and Holland, whosebest attribute is as a gunner onpunt coverage.
“There’s a lot of work to bedone there,” Kiffin said. “Allwe’re trying to do is get guysbetter, one day at a time, andcreate competition. That’swhat we did by drafting twoguys, by signing a free agent,by trading for Mike Williams.
We’re just creating competi-tion and seeing who’s going torise to the top because that’swhat they’re going to need todo when it counts.”
Two of the receivers havealready been nicked up inpractice. Williams hurt hishamstring and Holland dislo-cated his shoulder.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Amile into the Kentucky Derby,all the other horses weremotoring along in fourth gearwhen Street Sense kicked itinto fifth. Then he zeroed inon his last challenger, HardSpun, went wide, and burnedup the final quarter-mile like adragster.
“After that,” jockey CalvinBorel said, “it was just a mat-ter of how far he’d win.”
Street Sense showed plentyof that Saturday by smartlypicking his way through traf-fic, roaring from next-to-lastin a 20-horse field to win by 21/4 lengths. His final movewas so powerful, it looked asthough he might knock rivalAny Given Saturday into thegrandstand.
“Street Sense came blow-ing through there and it waslike a big old wave,” jockeyGarrett Gomez said. “Heknocked my horse out fromunder me and knocked him offhis feet again.
“But that’s the KentuckyDerby.”
The dark bay colt was so
commanding that he broketwo Derby jinxes and put acouple of guys in the winner’scircle late in their careers.
“I can’t believe it. I can’tbelieve it. This is the toughestrace in the world to win,”trainer Carl Nafzger said.
While it was the 65-year-old Nafzger’s second Derbywin in three tries, trainer ToddPletcher, who had a record-tying five horses, wasskunked again. He is now 0-for-19 in the Derby. HardSpun finished second andCurlin, the 5-1 second choice,lost for the first time in hisfour-race career
Imawildandcrazyguy wasanother half-length back infourth and Sedgefield wasfifth. Circular Quay, comingoff an eight-week layoff, wassixth for Pletcher’s best finish.
Tiago was seventh, fol-lowed by Any Given Saturday,Sam P. and Nobiz LikeShobiz. Dominican was 11th,then came Zanjero, GreatHunter, Liquidity and BwanaBull. Storm in May, who isblind in his right eye, was16th, trailed by Teuflesberg,Scat Daddy, Stormello and
Cowtown Cat in last.Nafzger, who is nearly
retired, wasn’t as emotional ashe was in 1990, whenUnbridled won for 92-year-old Frances Genter. Becauseof her faltering eyesight,Nafzger called the race in herear so she could follow hercolt to the finish line.
Then he gave her a big kisswhen Unbridled crossed thefinish line.
This time, Nafzger’s wordsto the 83-year-old Tafel werefew and to the point.
“Mr. Tafel, we’re clear,we’re clear. It’s up to himnow,” Nafzger said.
Nafzger and Tafel were tak-ing a second shot at the Derbytogether. In 1999, Vicar fin-ished 18th for the duo.
Nafzger works for just twoowners now, having turned theday-to-day grind of hisChurchill Downs stable overto an assistant. Besides Tafel,his other client is Genter’sson-in-law.
Pletcher, meanwhile, hadfive less-than-happy ownersto answer to Saturday.
“I am disappointed that the
horses didn’t run better,” hesaid. “It isn’t the end of theworld if you don’t win theKentucky Derby. I’m notgoing to go home tonight andcry. That’s just not the way.”
Street Sense became thefirst Breeders’ Cup Juvenilewinner to return in the springand win on the first Saturdayin May, snapping an 0-for-23skid. He did so on the sametrack where he won theJuvenile by 10 lengths sixmonths ago. He was also thefirst 2-year-old champion towin the Derby sinceSpectacular Bid in 1979, andthe first colt to win with twoor fewer prep races sinceSunny’s Halo in 1983.
Street Sense, sent off as the9-2 favorite on his home track,ran 1 1/4 miles in 2:02.17 andpaid $11.80, $6.40 and $4.60as the highest-priced winningfavorite in Derby history.Smarty Jones paid $10.20 towin in 2004.
Hard Spun returned $9.80and $7, while Curlin wasanother 5 3/4 lengths back inthird and paid $5.60 to show.
Queen Elizabeth II and her
husband, Prince Philip, wereamong the 156,635 racingfans on hand, the third-largestcrowd in the Derby’s 133years. They watched from thefourth-floor clubhouse bal-cony overlooking the finishline. With the sun finallyemerging before post time,they had a picturesque view ofthe famous Twin Spires.
Asked what it was like towin in front of royalty, Borelsaid jokingly, “It meant every-thing in the world.”
Street Sense left from thesame No. 7 post as Unbridled17 years ago.
Borel is the master of sav-ing ground and demonstratedthat skill as Street Sensedropped back at the start andheaded for the rail. WhileHard Spun shot to the lead,Street Sense tucked in 19thalong the fence.
Borel still had a snug holdon the reins as Street Senseturned for home. A quarter ofa mile from the finish, Borelfinally moved Street Sense tothe outside and they accelerat-ed away from the pack. Theyquickly reeled in Hard Spun,catching him in the final
eighth of a mile as Borelsneaked a peek over his rightshoulder approaching the fin-ish line.
Once they crossed it, Borelthrust his whip in the air incelebration, getting his firstDerby win in five tries.
“He’ll do anything for you.He’s very push-button,” Borelsaid, referring to the winningcolt. “I really don’t know howgood he is because he alwaysgives me something when Iask.”
At the finish, Nafzgerwrapped his arm around Tafel,shook his hand and pumpedhis left fist.
By the time the two madetheir way to the crowded win-ner’s circle, the white-hairedTafel was beaming.
“This is the aspiration ofanybody and everybody in thehorse business. It’s just over-whelming,” said Tafel, retiredfrom a technical publishingcompany and living inBoynton Beach, Fla.
Street Sense has finished inthe money in all eight of hiscareer races.
“This horse has never run abad race,” Nafzger said.

Street Sense wins Kentucky Derby with stunning dash

COLUMBUS, Ohio — It’s theyear of the snout in NCAA men’svolleyball.
UC Irvine’s Anteaters blendedtheir power game with great defenseto beat IPFW 3-1 Saturday and wintheir first volleyball national champi-onship.
The second-seeded Anteaters (29-5) won by scores of 30-20, 24-30,30-23 and 30-28, extending theirschool record for wins in a season.
IPFW — an acronym representingthe 12,000-student school’s relation-ships with Indiana and Purdue uni-versities and its hometown of FortWayne, Ind. — finished at 23-8.
Irvine started its season by play-ing exhibitions at Ohio State, partlyto test themselves against the highlyranked Buckeyes but mostly to scoutout where the national championshipwould be held. Coach John Speraw,who had won championships as aUCLA player in 1993 and 1995, saidthe goal was to finish the season at
St. John Arena and win it all.Second-team All-Americans Matt
Webber and Jayson Jablonsky led theway with 22 and 18 kills, respective-ly. Taylor Wilson had eight digs,first-team All-American DavidSmith had four blocks and second-teamer Brian Thornton had 59assists.
C.J. Macias led the way for theMastodons with 21 kills. The firstgame wasn’t much of a game. UCIrolled to leads of 5-1, 10-4, 18-10and 22-14 on the way to the 30-20
rout. The Anteaters were nearly flaw-less with few unforced errors, whileWebber and Jablonsky each had sixkills and Thornton was all over thecourt to contribute 19 assists.
The Anteaters drew to withinthree points three times late in thegame but each time IPFW had ananswer. Macias had three digs andsix kills, Colin Lundeen had 16assists and Josh Stewart added fiveblocks.
The teams were never separatedby more than a point until it was 18-
18 in game four. Tied at 27-27, theAnteaters got kills from Smith andWebber. Lundeen’s service error sup-plied the decisive point, touching offa wild celebration on the court.
Hundreds of Mastodon fans madethe 150-mile trip from Fort Wayne,many wearing national champi-onship T-shirts that said, “Where isIPFW now?”
Once again, the West was best. Inthe tournament’s 38 years, only oneschool not from the West — PennState in 1994 — has won the title.

UC Irvine Anteaters capture first men’s collegiate volleyball crown

WASHINGTON —Republican Mitt Romney cancount on some corporate anddonor help for the occasionalcut-rate travel. So canDemocrat John Edwards andRepublican Rudy Giuliani.
Campaign finance reportsfor the first three months of theyear show how the use of cor-porate jets has created anuneven playing field betweenthose presidential candidateswho pay discounted fares forprivately owned planes andthose who pay full-charterprices.
What the reports do notshow is that Democratic Sen.Hillary Rodham Clintonlogged about $450,000 in char-tered planes, more than her toprivals. But she only disclosed afraction of her overall travelcosts.
Clinton aides said the totalswill appear in a July 15 reportbecause flight invoices had tobe reconciled with the SecretService, which provides herwith security as the spouse of aformer president. The govern-ment pays for Secret Serviceagents to fly on Clinton’s char-ter flights.
“When all is said and done,our travel costs should be com-parable to the other cam-paigns,” Clinton campaignspokesman Phil Singer said.
With a crowded field, earlyjockeying and a front-loadedprimary schedule, it is no won-der that travel accounted forone of the biggest campaignexpenses in the first three
months of this year. Overall,the 18 presidential candidatesspent $4 million on travel andlodging.
Democratic Sen. BarackObama was the biggestspender, accounting for nearlyone-fourth of that total.
In a presidential contest inwhich ready access to a fastplane can be a ticket to moneyand votes, deciding how to lineup some Lear, Gulfstream orHawker jets is a calculationbased on speed, cost and acces-sibility.
Just days into Romney’sofficial campaign early thisyear, his finance director sentan e-mail to backers requestingaccess to private planes to helphim hopscotch across thecountry. Soon, they were wait-ing on the tarmac — corporatejets from eBay, Detroit con-struction company WalbridgeAldinger or National BeefPacking chief executive JohnR. Miller, one of Romney’snational finance chairmen.
Edwards spent more than$200,000 in the first quarter tofly on a plane owned by Dallastrial lawyer Fred Baron, alongtime Edwards benefactorwho is his national financechairman. Giuliani has flownon private jets owned by retail-er Target Corp., and cancerdrug maker AbraxisBioscience Inc.
All of them pay first-classfare for the trips, a rate allowedby the Federal ElectionCommission but a significantdiscount from the charter ratefor such jets.
For example, a one-way
first class ticket fromWashington to Chicago onUnited Airlines with four daysnotice is $694 per person. Atypical one-way charter flighton a small Lear jet seating sixpeople would cost about$9,000.
“It’s another way an organi-zation or an executive cancurry favor with the candidatesoutside of the campaign contri-bution,” said Sheila Krumholz,the executive director of thenonpartisan Center forResponsive Politics, a politicalwatchdog group.
Obama and RepublicanJohn McCain fly charter planesbut have refused to take flightson private corporate planes.Clinton aides said she, too, isflying charter planes only.
Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn.,flies on corporate planes butpays the going charter rate, notthe lower first-class fare. It is asymbolic gesture that abidesby ethics legislation passed bythe Senate this year but that isnot yet law.
Obama reported paying$340,000 to a Kansas City,Mo.-based charter company.McCain paid about $270,000to two charter companies.Romney, Giuliani andEdwards also fly on regularchartered planes, paying thefull-charter rate. But each paidless than $100,000 to chartercompanies because they alsotake private flights.
Corporate jet travel hasbeen a long-valued perk ofmembers of Congress. Butrecent lobbying scandals ledthe new Congress to reconsider
the practice as it applies to law-makers.
Proponents of tighter ethicsrules would prefer that therestrictions on corporate jettravel apply to all federal can-didates, not just elected offi-cials.
“Everyone should be in thesame position here, and corpo-rations and others should notbe allowed to curry favor withcandidates or officeholders by,in effect, providing very sub-stantial financial benefits in theform of deeply discountedfares,” said Fred Wertheimer,president of Democracy 21,one of the groups seekingstiffer ethics laws.
Romney’s campaign spent$20,500 in first-class fares tofly on the Walbridge Aldingerplane, whose chairman andchief executive is JohnRakolta, a top Romneyfundraiser. The campaign spent$3,100 for a jet owned byeBay, whose chief executive,Margaret Whitman, has knownthe former Massachusetts gov-ernor since their days togetherat Bain and Co.
The campaign also paid$20,700 for a plane owned by a
Florida investment firm oper-ated by Richard Blankenship, aformer Bush ambassador to theBahamas who recentlyswitched his support fromRomney to Giuliani.
Blankenship said Giulianihas not asked to fly in the Learjet he partly owns. Asked ifRomney will still fly it,Blankenship laughed. “No, Iprobably wouldn’t do that ...and I don’t expect GovernorRomney to be calling me to flymy plane.”
Romney spokesman KevinMadden said donor-suppliedplanes “happen to be part ofexpanding the pool of trans-portation options that wehave.”
“We welcome the opportu-nity and the ability of themedia and public at large totake a look at all the transac-tions that take place within thecampaign,” he said.
McCain, Clinton andObama, while avoiding privateplanes during this campaign,have used corporate jetsbefore. During his presidentialcampaign in 1999-2000,McCain flew on jets owned bycompanies that came under the
jurisdiction of the SenateCommerce, Science andTransportation Committee,which he led.
Clinton’s corporate travel asa senator has included flightson jets owned by defense con-tractor Lockheed Martin,which has a production plant inOwego, N.Y.
The New York senator, amember of the Senate ArmedServices Committee, has sup-ported Lockheed Martin’seffort to secure defense con-tracts in the state and hasreceived contributions fromLockheed Martin’s politicalaction committee. The cam-paign said she is not takingsuch flights as a presidentialcandidate.
Because her presidentialcampaign is awaiting invoicesfor her first quarter charterflights, the campaign reportedtravel expenses of about$166,000. That was signifi-cantly less than leadingDemocrats and Republicans,who each reported spending atleast $580,000 on travel.
Clinton aides said her travelexpenses are sure to rise in thesecond quarter.

“We are even more con-cerned now than we were inNovember because we havevisited the Speedex market inFort Bragg where Mr. Ansarisells knives, BB guns, smok-ing paraphernalia ... ” VanAntwerp said Thursday. “Ithink we could probablyaccept the tobacco, but thepipes and the cigarette papers... it’s not what we want; it’snot what our kids want. Ourbiggest concerns are theknives, the BB gun replicas,and the drug paraphernalia ...and of course the alcohol.”
The Mendocino CountyPlanning Departmentapproved Ansari’s businesslicense application on Aug 31,2006, according to BrigitteJacks, with the TaxCollector’s Office, who saidthe application has not shownup at the Tax Collector’sOffice yet -- the agency whichissues the actual businesslicense -- even though Ansaristated on his application thathe planned to open the storelast October. Apparently theprocess was stalled when theABC received the letters ofprotest and decided to do aninvestigation. ABC DistrictAdministrator, Michael Mann,said that whenever an applica-tion is protested, the ABClooks at the issues or groundsof the protest.
“Aside from the schoolbeing located within 600 feetof the store, there are also res-idents located within 100 feetof store, so that gives usgrounds to even look at itcloser, along with all the otherprotest concerns,” Mann saidafter receiving the letters,which all refer to the sameissues. “In our investigationwe will address the concernsof the protestants and then thisdepartment has to make adecision as to whether issuingthis license is in the best inter-est of the community, and wehave not made that decision asof to date,” Mann said inJanuary.
Mann on Thursday said:“There has been no conclu-sion at this point. As soon aswe finish our investigation wewill be in a position to make arecommendation one way oranother. With that manyprotestants, it’s held us up abit. ... Once we have the appli-cation completed, regardlessof our recommendation, therewill be a hearing open to thepublic. We are not there yet.”
The Ukiah Unified SchoolDistrict opposes the issuanceof an offsale beer and winelicense to Speedex Food Mart,Superintendent RayChadwick said.
“We contend that, since theFood Mart is within 600 feetof Grace Hudson School andThe Alex Rorabaugh Center,the ABC is specifically autho-
rized to refuse the issuance ofa license,” he said.
“Students participate inprograms such as the one pro-vided by the Boys and GirlsClubs at the center well pastschool hours. The GraceHudson campus has become ade-facto park utilized bySouth Ukiah residents in theevenings and on weekends.We believe that the readyavailability of off-sale alco-holic beverages so near thecampus and the Center willlead to increased litter andproperty damage and poses adanger to the safety of our stu-dents,” Chadwick said.
“We think it’s time toreclaim our neighborhood,”Van Antwerp said. “We wantanyone who has run on a plat-form of crime prevention to beheld responsible to take astand on this beer and winepermit. We think that we needto also hold elected peopleresponsible to take a stand onthis and get involved. Theydid not file letters of protest,even though they could have.We want them to stand upnow and tell us are they withus, or do they want the beerand wine permit approved,”she said.
Speedex Food Martowner responds
Ansari on Thursday toldthe Daily Journal that he plansto meet soon with people inthe Ukiah community to dis-cuss their concerns.
“I am going to talk to theneighbors ... I tried to talk tothe (Grace Hudson School)principal as well, about threeor four months ago, and shedid not want to talk to me. Iwant to talk to the people. Iam making a whole list ofwhat we should sell inUkiah,” Ansari said.
Speedex Food Mart is not atypical convenience store,Ansari said. He said he plansto have a deli, and sell healthfood, in addition to other gro-ceries. He said he also plans tosell pet food, household items,stationary, automotive sup-plies, and so forth.
“It’s going to be a good,clean, nice market. ... Peoplereally like us in Fort Braggand we are really mixed withthe community,” Ansari saidof the store he owns and oper-ates there. “I do listen to thepeople who live in Fort Braggand I am going to do the same
thing in Ukiah. I am alsogoing to talk to the Sheriff in afew weeks, as well. .. If peo-ple tell me not to sell it, I willnot,” he said, referring to thecommunity’s concern over thesale of BB guns and knives.“That is why I am going tomeet with the Sheriff - to takethose precautions. ... Myneighborhood has to be happybefore I can open up a busi-ness and I am going to makesure they are happy. I am acommunity person and I thinkthat is the only way to run abusiness,” he said.
While he indicated hecould forego selling “giftitems” such as BB guns andknives, Ansari said his busi-ness will not survive if hedoesn’t offer beer and wine. Infact, he said, if he does not getan offsale beer and winelicense, he won’t even openthe store.
“I won’t be able to survivein the business. There is notenough market for just the deliand the health food. Peoplehave to understand the previ-ous owner did not survive inthe business the way theywere running it. To survive inthe business, you have to sellmore and different products aswell,” he said, noting, thisincludes beer and wine.
People are making himsound like a criminal, Ansarisaid. “I am remodeling theplace, but I am having a hardtime from the neighbors. Theyprotested the application. ... ”he said, noting, he doesn’twant any problems either, ashe will be living behind thestore.
Chavez Market, in the 1400block of South State Street, orabout two blocks away fromthe school, sells alcohol.
South Side Store, on OakKnoll Road, which is three orfour blocks away from theschool, also sells alcohol.
Approximately 450 stu-dents -- kindergarten throughsixth grade -- attend GraceHudson School, located on thecorner of Jefferson Lane andthe 1600 block of South StateStreet. The Alex RorabaughCultural Center is also locatedon the premises. Once the cul-tural center is complete, thelocal Boys and Girls Club willbe housed there, and there willalso be other events held at thefacility that are non-alcoholic.

According to Cinco deMayo Committee VicePresident Juan Orozco, on
May 5, 1862, the Frenchinvaded Mexico bringingonly a “small army becausethey really didn’t think theywere going to get a big sur-prise from the native peopleof Mexico.” The native peo-ple, however, were able towin an initial victory over theFrench in the Battle ofPuebla.
“And that’s the message,”Araiza said. “If you unite as apeople, if you get together asa whole, we’re so many thatwe could win and we dowin.”

While he indicated he could forego sell-ing “gift items” such as BB guns andknives, Ansari said his business will notsurvive if he doesn’t offer beer andwine. In fact, he said, if he does not getan offsale beer and wine license, hewon’t even open the store.
If you had the ability to seetwo minutes into the future,what would use it for?
“Next,” directed by LeeTamahori and starring NicolasCage, Jessica Biel andJulianne Moore shows howone man lives his life with thisspecial talent.
Cris Johnson (Cage) worksin Las Vegas as a magic actwhere he goes by the name ofFrank Cadillac. There he livesa normal life except he has anability no one else has. He cansee two minutes into his futureand (in one exception) evenfurther into the future when he
becomes involved with thelovely Liz (Biel).
Callie Ferris (Moore)works as an agent for theFBI. She has orders to find anuclear bomb that a terroristgroup has threatened to set offin Los Angeles. Knowingabout Johnson, she sets out tofind him, hoping that his giftwill help them locate thebomb before it destroys LA.
“Next” was definitely amovie worth seeing. The castwas unforgettable. When Ifirst saw the trailer I thoughtthat Nicolas Cage may be tooold to play this part, espcially
oppostie Jessica Biel who ismuch younger. After seeing it,though, I would say that thetwo of them worked as a cou-ple and I wouldn’t change anymember of the cast.
There was a fair amount ofspecial effects added to thisfilm but instead of obviouscomputer generated, fakelooking effects they were allvery realistic and added a lotto the action.
This movie left me leavingthe theater wanting evenmore. It had a unique storyline - you can’t help wonder-ing what you’d see in your
own future and whether Cris’stalent is such a blessing afterall. I found myself wishing itwould go on forever.

BBBS of Mendocino County:Mentoring prisoners’ children
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Mendocino hasjust launched a new initiative to mentor chil-dren of incarcerated parents. This collaborativeinitiative encompasses Marin, Napa, Solano,Sonoma, and Mendocino Counties -- and theyhope to serve 180 youth within its first year.
This new program is being funded through agrant from the Family and Youth ServicesBureau, a division of the U.S. Department ofHealth and Human Services.
According to recent statistics, approximate-ly 2 million children and youth in the UnitedStates have at least one parent in a County,Federal or State correctional facility, and asmany as 6,800 children in the community are apart of these families. In addition to sufferingdisruption in the relationship with their parent,these young people often struggle with eco-nomic, social, and emotional burdens due tothe incarceration of their parent.
Children of incarcerated parents are 6 timesmore likely than their peers to end up in prison
themselves, unless services are provided tothese young people.
Research indicates that youth involved inmentoring programs reduces drug and alcoholuse, improves adult and peer relationships,increases academic performance, and reducesthe likelihood that they will initiate violence,Mentors can provide these children withopportunities to develop a trusting relationshipwith a supportive, caring adult and a stableenvironment that can promote healthy valuesand strong families.
The program relies on staff from BigBrothers Big Sisters who provide on-going,support and guidance.
If you are interested in this or anyone of ourprograms on the coast call 964-1228 or callPatti at the inland office at 463-4809.

My home office needed repainting.OK, it didn’t need repainting so muchas it needed a good, long sandblasting.But my thinking was that painting itwould be cheaper and faster than clean-ing it. That turned out to be wrong onboth counts. It seems you just can’tpaint over spaghetti on a wall, andyou’re supposed to remove all picturesand light-switch plates -- not just paintaround or over them.
And it turns out, that if you get paint-upholstered furniture, it’s what the pro-fessionals call “ruined.” Apparentlyyou’re supposed to use a thing called a“drop cloth.” Who knew?
“Everybody,” Sue explained.That’s why I don’t let her in my
office very often, entirely too muchnegativity. I’d rather do this stuffmyself and learn from my own mis-takes.
“What color are you going to paintit?” she asked.
“I haven’t decided yet.”“Remember, dark colors will make
the room look smaller.”And I always thought the stacks of
unread newspapers and magazineswere what made the place look smaller.The three out-of-date printers sittingbeside my filing cabinet don’t help.What am I thinking? That the longer Ikeep them, the more in-date they willbecome?
It’d been a long time since I paintedanything, and I was surprised at howmuch things had changed in the paintstore, like the prices. When did paintbecome $40 a gallon? I can buy a gal-lon of fine wine for that kind of money.
OK, it’s not-so-fine wine, but it goesbetter with the spaghetti than anythingin the paint store. The paint store wasfull of special rollers that could makemy walls look as if they were made outof Italian marble or knotty pine or sten-ciled by an Amish housewife. Therewere all kinds of special tools and gad-gets that seemed to make any paint jobmuch easier: masking tape that couldbe removed without damaging thepaint, leak-proof buckets, roller exten-ders, edgers, sandpaper, disposablepainters coveralls, turpentine, paintremover, rubber gloves, brushes, wash-es, spackle and trowels. The only thingI couldn’t find was paint.
“Sir, you just pick a color from thecard and we’ll mix the paint for you.”
“You don’t have to mix it. All I wantis a couple of gallons of white paint.”
“You mean like Morning Frost orCalla Lily?” said the 18-year-old sales-man.
“No, like white.”“We have Venetian Blind. We have
Bat Guano. Did you bring a chip of this‘white?’ Our computer could analyze itand tell you it’s real name. Then wecould custom mix you a batch of it. ButI have to say, I’ve been working heretwo months and I’ve never heard of‘white.’”
“Two whole months?”“If you count the six weeks of train-
ing.”“Is the manager around?”He returned a few minutes later with
his boss, a 19-year-old. Finally, we’dget to the bottom of this.
“Not a problem, I’m sure we canfind this color ‘white’ you’re talkingabout. Let’s just start looking throughthe sample book.”
I felt like the witness to a crime, try-ing to pick out the perp as he slowlyturned the pages. It wasn’t all the dif-ferent colors that stunned me, but thatthey all had names. Thousands ofnames simply for brown and brownish:Apple Butter, Labrador Retriever,Spring Break Sun Tan, Maple Syrup,
Cleveland, Guernsey, Guinness,Cocoa, Baked Bean, Coffee Stain, Oak,Wookie, Mud Flap, Arizona Thatch,Yellow Snow ...
“Snow! That’s it. That’s the color Iwant. Snow is white. Snow White!”
“Snow White? Where do you oldguys come up with these weird names?Let me look up snow. We have Slush.We have Black Ice, we have Blue Ice,Melting Salt, Zamboni Dust, Slurpee...”
“What about this?”“That’s just the edge of the page, sir,
that’s not a color chip.”“But that’s the color I want.”“Paper-colored paint? Hmmm. I’m
pretty sure that’s a special order. Whatwould your accent color be?”
“My accent color?”“What color paint are you going to
be stencilling or sponging or stampingon top of this ‘white’ so when you’refinished it won’t look ‘white?’”
“Where do you keep your wallpa-per?”

By the Editors of Consumer Reports
Refrigerator manufacturesare hot for your dollar, as theyload up their latest modelswith more style and conve-niences. Features once foundonly on midlevel and high-endfridges, for example, are nowshowing up on less-expensivemodels.
Evidence of this trickle-down effect includes water fil-ters that remove "off" tastesand temperature-control binsthat keep food fresh.Spillproof shelves that makecleanup a snap are also morethe norm. Even stainless exte-riors are coming down inprice: Some refrigerators thatConsumer Reports recentlyrated offer the look for as littleas $725.
Before you plunk downcold cash on your next icebox,take a minute to consider whattype of fridge best fits yourspace, needs and budget.
• Top-freezer. With a typi-cal width of 30 to 33 inches,these are best for narrowerspaces. Starting at just $400,top-freezer models also costthe least of any type, are rela-tively inexpensive to run andoffer the most storage spacefor their size. On the down-side, you must bend to reach
items that you use frequently,and few models offer a waterdispenser. Plus, the wide-swinging doors require spacefor clearance.
• Bottom-freezer.Increasingly common inkitchens, many with side-by-side French doors, these mod-els place often-used items ateye level. One drawback withthese models is that you muststoop to reach food at the backor bottom of the freezer, andfew have an indoor ice-and-water dispenser. Prices start at$700 for basic bottom-freez-ers, and can run to $1,800 forFrench-door models. Widthsare from 30 to 36 inches.
• Side-by-side. A goodchoice for kitchens that can'taccommodate wide-swingingdoors. While most side-by-sides offer exterior ice-and-water dispensers, their shelvesare narrow (they won't holdlarge pizza boxes) and theyaren't very space efficient.Plus, side-by-sides have beenmore repair prone than top- orbottom-freezers -- accordingto survey data collected fromCR readers -- and they're rela-tively pricey. You can expectto pay from $800 to $2,000 for
models that vary from 32 to36 inches in width.
• Built-in. These modelsblend in with cabinetry for aunified look, often with theaid of trim panels. They canbe either bottom-freezers orside-by-sides, and some comewith French doors. True built-in models cost from $4,000 to$7,000; cabinet-depth modelsin the built-in style run from$1,500 to $3,200. Most are 36inches wide or wider. Likeside-by-sides, built-ins arerepair prone.
Once you've settled on atype, it's time to carefullymeasure the space availablefor your new fridge. Be espe-cially accurate with the width-- it's the most critical dimen-sion because the space tendsto be limited by counters, cab-inets and other fixed objects.Also, find out how muchroom is required for factorslike ventilation and doorclearance.
Some good dealsAll but a handful of the 74
refrigerators CR rated didvery well overall in tests mea-suring temperature perfor-
mance and energy efficiency.Several stood out for theirvalue, earning them distinc-tion as CR Best Buys.
Among top-freezer fridges,CR liked the HotpointHTS22GBP (33 inches wide;$700). Bottom-freezer modelsthat made the CR Best Buygrade are the AmanaABB1921DE (30 inches;$850), the French-door-equipped AmanaAFD2535DE (36 inches;$1,700) and the Kenmore7500 (30 inches; $870, fromSears). Side-by-side modelsthat combined notable perfor-mance with comparativelylow price are the AmanaASD2627KE (36 inches;$1,350) and the GEGSH25JFT (36 inches;$1,100). Both come with awater dispenser and are avail-able in stainless finish.
While none of the testedbuilt-ins qualified as CR BestBuys, the GE MonogramZICS360NR (37 inches;$6,400), the French-door-equipped KitchenAidKBFC42F (43 inches; $6,800)and the Sub-Zero 650F (37inches; $5,700) were top-scor-ing bottom-freezer models.The Jenn-Air JS42FWD (42inches; $4,650) is a compara-tively low-priced side-by-side.
Cool deals on fridge choices
DEAR BRUCE: Last week, we weresupposed to close on our new home. Thehouse was built in a subdivision, and thedeveloper was the only builder on thevarious sites. At the walk-through, it wascasually mentioned there was a sewereasement directly in back of the home. Itshouldn’t cause us any difficulties, but ifthe pipe were ever to break, the govern-ment authorities that operate the sewersystem would have the right to come ontoour property with a backhoe and start dig-ging. No one ever mentioned this to us,and it only came up because I looked at acopy of the survey and saw a couple ofdotted lines across the backyard. Werefused to close until we sorted this out.My lawyer said they had an obligation totell us, but at this point the only thing wecan do is to ask for our money back. Wereally like the house. What should we do?-- S.G., via e-mail
DEAR S.G.: You are correct in havingan attorney represent you, and you arecorrect that they had an obligation to tellyou. However, that said, if you want thisparticular house, you are stuck with thissituation. If the line is in such a placewhere there would be absolutely no needto ever add an addition to the house or agarage, I don’t think this is too trouble-some. Pipes rarely have to be dug up. Ifthat does happen, the sewer people have
an obligation to restore your property toits previous condition. This would notstop me from purchasing a home that oth-erwise was satisfactory. If, however, theline is put in such a fashion that it wouldpreclude any legal additions to the home,I would have to think this one over verycarefully and perhaps ask for a differenthome or a price concession.
DEAR BRUCE: I am seriously con-sidering divorce, and I want to know howto get the best attorney I can find. Wherecan I go to get this information? - Reader,via e-mail
DEAR READER: The word “best” isan interesting term. I don’t know howone can achieve exactly the “best.” Youcan inquire among friends and businessassociates as to whom they think havegood reputations and check them out.However, there is no way to assure thatyou have the “best.” There are attorneyswho have earned the reputation of beingvery good in their particular disciplines.This is the kind of person you are lookingfor.
DEAR BRUCE: I’m 50 years old andsingle. I purchased a remodeled mobilehome for $30,000, and I have six moreyears to pay at $242 a month. Not so bad.However, I also have the lot rent on topof that. Since I filed a bankruptcy fiveyears ago, my interest rate is 15 percent.On top of this, I have accumulated $8,000worth of credit-card debt. Should I try torefinance? Some people say I could stillget a lower interest rate. - Reader, via e-mail
DEAR READER: Given the facts, Ithink you may have a tough time refi-nancing and, of course, the idea of refi-nancing credit-card debt for long periodsof time sometimes results in paying off ahamburger over 10 to 15 years. I don’tfind this to be a viable alternative. Youshould certainly make some effort to refi-nance the mobile home. Understand thisis not like financing a house. It is essen-tially a vehicular loan, which will carry asubstantially higher interest rate than anordinary house mortgage.

Sewer debacle disrupts home purchaseSMART MONEY

Easy desserts tosurprise your mom
I have a great idea: Make your mother a sweet treat for herspecial day. You'll score in two ways: She'll think you are justamazing to be so creative and talented, and you'll be able torelax knowing you won't have to hock your iPod to pay for it.The ingredients won't cost more than a few bucks. And hey,kids! With any luck, Mom's pantry will be stocked with justabout all the ingredients you'll need. Just don't tell anyone I saidthat.
Honey Bun CakeThis is a yummy cake -- so different, but so easy because you
start with a cake mix, which means a lot less measuring.
Cake:1 box yellow cake mix3/4 cup vegetable oil4 eggs1 8-ounce container sour cream
Filling:1 cup brown sugar1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Icing:2 cups powdered sugar1 teaspoon vanilla extract4 tablespoons milk
Preheat the oven to 325 F. In a large bowl, place the cakemix, oil, eggs and sour cream. Mix well with electric mixer onmedium speed for 2 to 3 minutes or until fully incorporated.Spread half of this batter into a well-greased 9-by-13-inch pan.Set aside the rest of the batter.
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon with afork until incorporated to make the filling. Sprinkle about halfof this filling mixture on top of the cake batter in the pan.Spread the rest of the cake batter over this. Sprinkle the remain-der of the brown-sugar-and-cinnamon mixture over the top ofthe second layer of cake batter.
Using a butter knife, swirl this just slightly into the batter tomake a pleasing pattern. Bake at 325 F for 40 minutes. Removefrom the oven.
Mix icing ingredients in a small bowl and pour over thewarm cake.
Serves 8 to 10.
Apple CrispThis is one of those desserts that never has leftovers and is
so simple to make. You don't even have to peel the apples if youdon't want to.
5 cups sliced apples 1 cup white sugar3/4 cup all-purpose flour1 teaspoon ground cinnamon1/2 cup butterpinch of salt
Preheat oven to 400 F. Placed the sliced apples in an 8-inchsquare cake pan that is well greased. Place the sugar, flour, cin-namon, butter and salt into a small bowl, and work togetherwith a fork until crumbly. Pour this mixture over the apples andpack it in tightly with your clean fingers. Bake for about 45minutes.
Serves 6.
See, what did I tell you? So easy even a kid can do it. Justmake sure you get help from someone older if you are not usedto making things in the kitchen and using sharp knives and hotovens.

Being asked to serve as guardian is thehighest honor a parent can bestow onyou. But the title is not an honorary des-ignation. Rather, there are importantlegal, financial and family issuesinvolved -- and too often, all partiesignore the details.
Don't let that happen to you. If you areasked to serve as guardian, accept(assuming you are inclined to do so) onlyif the parents fulfill the following require-ments:
1. They must have both their willsand/or trusts:
• name you (and your spouse, if youare married) as guardian(s) for all thechildren. Think twice if you are asked toserve for only one or some of their kids.
• leave their assets to or in a trust or tocustodial accounts (formed under theUniform Transfer to Minors Act) for thebenefit of the children, naming a Trusteeof the trust or Custodian of the UTMAaccounts.
As the above implies, the law requiresthat parents name a guardian for themoney as a separate act from naming aguardian for the children. It is often rec-ommended that the financial trustee orcustodian be different from the guardianof the children. By having a third partycontrol the assets, there is additionaloversight that can help insure that theassets are used for the benefit and welfareof the children.
Finally, require that the parents pro-vide you with current valid copies of bothwills and all trust/custodial documents.They should:
2. Provide you with a letter, signed and
dated, that affirms their desire for you toserve as guardian. Ideally, you shouldreceive a newly signed copy of this letterannually. There are two reasons for this:
• First, it will serve as a contemporaryacknowledgment of your desire thatcould prove essential with family mem-bers and the court.
• Second, sentiments and circum-stances often change with time, and thisactivity will help you reconfirm the par-ents' desire, giving them the opportunityto change their mind and select differentguardians.
3. Inform all family members --including the children -- of their decision.Everyone -- parents, grandparents, sib-lings and cousins, on both sides of thefamily -- must be told of their decision toname you guardian for the children. Thiswill do much to reduce the risk of a legalchallenge upon their deaths and helpmake the transition for the children lessstressful than it will inevitably be.
4. Leave each child with at least$500,000. If the parents' current assets(home minus mortgage, investments andsavings) comprise less than this amount,they should obtain life insurance to makeup the difference. A 15-year term policy
on each (or solely on the primary bread-winner) is an inexpensive way to meetthis need. The primary beneficiary shouldbe the surviving spouse, and the sec-ondary beneficiary should be the trust orcustodial account(s) that they establish in#1b above.
5. Write several letters of personalwishes. One joint letter from both parentsshould be addressed to you, theguardians). It should state their wishesfor the children and instructions regard-ing their upbringing. The letter shouldinclude their thoughts (in no particularorder) on money, discipline, family, reli-gion, marriage, education, career, poli-tics, love and life, to help guide you inyour new role.
The parents should place this letter ina sealed envelope and give it to you nowwith instructions as to when you are toread it (now or upon their deaths). Then,the parents each should write additionalletters to each of their children and givethem to you for safekeeping with instruc-tions regarding when to give them to eachchild.
By going beyond the notion ofguardianship and handling the decision ina practical way, you will be demonstrat-ing to the parents that they have made theright decision.
