Starting Thursday, we’ll be running individualprofiles of each of the four candidates running forthe two county supervisor seats up for electionnext month.

Next week, we’ll attempt to do the same thingwith each of the seven candidates for the sanitationdistrict’s five open seats.

Once again I turn to you, faithful reader, to sup-plement the questions I have for these 11 hopefulswith your own queries.

This time will be a bit different, though.It won’t be like the candidate surveys we pub-

lished in May in that I’m not putting together astandardized form each candidate fills out and thensends back. Instead, I’m simply looking for somedirection from readers as to what questions theywould ask were they in my position to add to my

own concerns.Though the positions of the candidates for the

Mendocino County Board of Supervisors may bewell-known, a lot has changed for Carre Brown,Estelle Palley Clifton, Michael Delbar and JohnMcCowen since the June election. Measure B is nolonger on the ballot. An avalanche of endorse-ments have been awarded in every direction. Inessence, the playing field has shifted since spring.

For the first time in its 54-year history, theUkiah Valley Sanitation District board will notonly be elected instead of appointed, but will also

be expanded by two members. Water continues tobe a top priority for the area, a fact that isn’t likelyto change during the tenures of those who areelected Nov. 4.

Think of this like a job interview. These peopleare applying for a position where you, the citizen,are the boss. Hit them with your best shot.

Come up with something really clever and sendit to me by e-mail at [email protected]. Make sureyou put either the words “supervisor questions” or“sanitation district questions” in the subject line.

Since you’re probably reading this on the sameday I sit down for my first interview, your deadlineis yesterday. Make sure to send your questions inas soon as possible.

Good luck and I look forward to seeing whatyou come up with.

The Daily JournalA 33-year-old Sebastopol man lost control of his pickup

when he tried to roll up the passenger window on Highway 101near Big Largo south of Ukiah at 7:55 p.m. Thursday.

Travis L. Smith was taken to Ukiah Valley Medical Centerfor treatment of minor injuries after his 1997 Dodge pickup leftHighway 101 and crashed down a steep embankment, aCalifornia Highway Patrol report stated.

Smith bumped the steering wheel with his left leg when heleaned over to roll up the passenger window that was slightlyopen, the report stated.

Smith’s injuries were minimal, the CHP stated, because hewore a seat belt and the Dodge’s air bag deployed.

According to the report, Smith was driving at about 55 milesper hour when he noticed the window was open.

Driver crashes whilerolling up a window

known to the Fort Bragg FireDepartment, Fire Chief SteveOrsi said Tuesday.

“A lot of the roof was miss-ing,” Orsi said. Some of thebuilding’s concrete blockwalls leaned out, he said.

That morning, the managerarrived at the residence tolook for a propane leak that aneighbor said had been leak-ing for several days, the sher-iff’s report stated.

The explosion also brokewindows out of residencesthat were within several hun-dred yards of the building and

spread debris to neighboringproperties, the Sheriff’sOffice stated.

At press time, authoritiescould only speculate as towhat happened when theproperty manager arrived toinvestigate the propane leak.

Orsi said the explosioncould have been caused by theair mixture, a light switch or acigarette.

“We do not know,” he said.Responding to Monday’s

explosion and fire were theFort Bragg Fire Departmentwith help from the MendocinoCounty Sheriff’s Office andCal Fire, which is investigat-ing the incident.

Associated PressNASHVILLE, Tenn. —

Barack Obama and JohnMcCain clashed repeatedlyover the causes and cures forthe worst economic crisis in80 years Tuesday night in adebate in which RepublicanMcCain called for a sweepingnew program to keep home-owners from foreclosure.

“It’s my proposal. It’s notSen. Obama’s proposal,”McCain said at the outset of adebate he hoped could revivehis fortunes in a presidentialrace trending toward his rival.

Democrat Obama said thecurrent crisis was the “finalverdict on the failed economicpolicies of the last eightyears” that President Bushpursued and were “supportedby Sen. McCain.”

He contended that Bush,McCain and others hadfavored deregulation of thefinancial industry, predictingthat would “let markets runwild and prosperity wouldrain down on all of us. It did-n’t happen.”

The debate was the secondof three between the twomajor party rivals, and theonly one to feature a format inwhich voters posed questionsto the candidates.

“It’s good to be with you ata town hall meeting,” McCainjabbed at his rival, whospurned the Republican’s callsfor numerous such jointappearances across the fallcampaign.

They debated on a stage atBelmont University in a racethat has lately favoredObama, both in national pollsand in surveys in pivotal bat-tleground states.

The audience was selectedby Gallup, the polling organi-zation, and was split threeways among voters leaningtoward McCain, those leaningtoward Obama and thoseundecided.

The couple honeymooned on the FijiIslands and are residing in San Francisco.

got a note from a Willits woman whosaid she was canceling her subscription tothe Daily Journal because she was the $20per hour librarian hired by the county andwas offended by my citing her new job asexcessive spending by the county.

Well, that was a surprise to me becausethe $20 per hour person I was referring to issomeone else I know who started a job at thelibrary this month. So now I find out that thelibrary has hired two new people at that ratein recent weeks.

The office at the Ukiah Players Theatreis closing, they hope temporarily. Right nowtimes are tough for all local non-profits andUPT is no different. They cannot afford staffright now. When the economy takes a dive,contributions and spending on things like alocal theater are hard to come by. Their pro-ductions will continue and they will morethan ever need volunteers to help out.

A reader stopped in to share a scam shemanaged to catch on her credit card bill. Shecarries a Chase VISA card and noticed onher last bill something called “TLGPrivacyGrd” which cost $149.99. She calledher credit card company and disputed thecharge and was told that they have seen a lotof this charge showing up on their cus-tomer’s cards and that they would take it off.However, you have to catch it and call themto do it. Why Chase doesn’t simply flag thatcompany and deny the charge any time itcomes through I’m not sure. There’s an 888number in the statement for the PrivacyGrdcompany but Chase warned the woman notto call it as it somehow gives the companymore access to your personal info. Anyway, areminder to always check your financialstatements carefully.

The Target “Take Charge ThroughEducation Program” where Target givesmoney to schools named by their customers,has raised more than $800 since 1997 forUkiah High School and recently the schoolgot a check for $112.43. Target agrees tosend 1 percent of your purchases to a schoolyou designate, if you sign up for it.

Special for the JournalA new yoga program is avail-

able for those who have thought,“I used to do yoga or I’ve alwayswanted to try yoga, but I’ve got-ten out of shape and maybe I’mjust too old, stiff and sore?” or,have asked themselves, “I’m sostressed, when will I feel better?”

The Radiant Life YogaProgram is designed to help par-ticipants release stress, increaseflexibility and circulation, breathemore fully and create more free-dom of movement. It is also easi-ly adapted to the individual. So,for instance, if a certain positionis not quite right for you, there isalways an alternate one to getsimilar results. This is a gentlymoving and restorative style ofyoga that is beneficial for all ages,body types and levels of fitness.

Due to the sedentary lifestylecommon in this day and age, thestress of relentless multi-taskingand environmental pollutants, it’sdifficult for bodies to stay bal-anced. Many studies have shownthat by the time a person reachesmid 40s, adrenals are exhausted,resulting in a difficult menopause(for women) and andropause (formen).

Yoga instructor Serena Miller,at age 62, knows all too well thechallenges of staying healthy. Shebelieves that one is never too oldor out of shape to begin takingbetter care of oneself. Throughteaching Radiant Life Yoga at theMendocino School of Holistic

Massage and Advanced HealingArts for the past seven years,Serena has learned what peopleneed in order to feel better. Shealso teaches at Body Rituals

Wellness Center in Willits. One ofher students recently commented,“I feel like I’ve just had a mas-sage.”

For those who wish they had

the time, discipline or placewhere they could just “let go” andcome out feeling nourished,refreshed and ready to face therest of the week, Radiant Yogamay be the answer. Miller’s pro-gram considers the person wholeaves work at 5 p.m., hungry,tired and just wants to go homeand relax.

No budget blunderTo the Editor:In the Ukiah Daily Journal Editorial of

Sept. 21, 2008, “In our opinion... BudgetBlunder,” I respectfully disagree with theassertion that ‘the county’s budget is ablunder and the County’s financial condi-tion is more than precarious.’

First of all, all estimated revenues in the2008-2009 County budget are realistic andare based on sound principles. In the 10years I have been involved in the Countybudget process, revenues have always beenwithin 2 percent of estimates. We are notlike the state -- we do not put false revenueprojections in the budget to meet the legalrequirement of a balanced budget. Contraryto your opinion, the County’s budget is bal-anced -- that is a fact.

In one paragraph, you criticized theBoard for talking about employee fur-loughs and layoffs. Next, you criticize usof not being transparent about a level ofgovernment taxpayers can afford. We aredamned if we do and damned if we don’t.

I believe local government should beabout maximizing services. Taxpayers wanttheir tax dollars spent on law enforcement,roads, infrastructure, public and mentalhealth services, etc. If we are simply goingto bank taxpayers’ dollars then I am forleaving the money in their accounts.

In this year’s budget, with all of its chal-lenges, it includes salary increases for allemployees, less 57 eliminated positionsthat were not filled, and no layoffs.Funding was provided for rural volunteerambulance services, the Arts Council, theResource Conservation District, tourism,and promotion. It maintains patrol deputiesat a level that was not achieved in the lastdecade, an more money for roads, thanks tobond funding and Proposition 42.

With the downturn in assessed valuation,lower sales taxes, and less funding fromState and federal government, surely nextyear’s budget cycle will be even more chal-lenging.

I can assure you that the ExecutiveOffice staff, every Department Head, andevery County employee is aware of ourgrim fiscal situation. We have already start-ed next year’s budget process looking fornew and better ways to provide basic ser-vices to our constituents.

I have been in business for myself for 40years and involved with MendocinoCounty’s budget process for 10 years. “Inmy opinion,” the 2008-2009 County budgetis more open, more realistic, and providesmore services than I have ever seen.

I will take this opportunity to thankCounty staff and my colleagues for a jobwell done in meeting our budget chal-lenges.

For any details or questions about myposition on the County budget process,please call or stop by my office.

No maverick hereTo the Editor:At the first presidential debate we heard

John McCain claim that his brief visits toIraq somehow imbued him with a thoroughunderstanding of military tactics in anurban warfare situation in much the sameway his running mate “learned” how todeal with foreign policy by “living acrossfrom Russia.”

McCain, who got into Annapolis via theconnections of his father and grandfather,graduated 894th in a class of 899, whichdoesn’t indicate he has a strong grasp ofhow the modern military functions. In hismuch-ballyhooed visit to Iraq which thepress covered, McCain claims he was freeto walk the streets of Baghdad without fear.What the cameras showed was McCain in aflack jacket, surrounded by our armed sol-diers with two helicopter gunships over-head, escorting his casual stroll. Bush II,Rumsfeld, Rice et al have visited Iraq, andthe invasion and the resulting violent resis-tance unrelentingly continued after theirdepartures.

McCain’s grasp of history is just asloopy; he has supported this disastrous mis-adventure begun by George Walker Bush IIever since the beginning, when the firstadministration lies were uttered aboutWMD’s, “yellowcake” and and especiallythat Saddam Hussein, a Sunni, was respon-sible for the attacks on the U.S. on 9/11.History records that George Herbert WalkerBush, GWB’s daddy, was in direct supportof Saddam Hussein’s efforts to invade Iran,which is largely Shia, sending the Iraqi dic-tator weapons and money to prolong a warthat stalemated for over six years, killingthousands on both sides. The war was abet-ted by the U.S. because of the Iranian revo-

lution, which expelled the Shah, a puppetof the U.S. and European oil companiesand their governments. And before theShah and his brutal regime was installed,the U.S., during the Eisenhower adminis-tration, overthrew the only democratically-elected president Iran has ever known. Wedid this because that president wanted tothrow out the U.S. and European oil com-panies which had been stealing his nation’snational oil resources since after WWI,offering a pittance as compensation. Andthat is why the Iranians have such a deepand abiding hatred of our government tothis day. Our overthrow of Saddaminstalled a Shia majority in Iraq whichdrove them into the care and protection ofthe largely Shia Iran. And one of the twosubjects John McCain seemed to excel at inthe Academy was history.

Listening once again to his “I’m a mav-erick” mantra while voting 90 percent ofthe time with GWB, along with his inces-sant reiteration of his “war hero” status,which he also seems to think gives himmore credibility as a military strategist, hasworn extremely thin. He neglects to men-tion that there were 600 percent otherP.O.W.’s in that Viet Cong jail along withhim, and that some of them -- along withuntold others now unaccounted for -- didnot return. He also neglects to mention hiscontinuing efforts to conceal the records ofthose missing airmen and soldiers. And healso doesn’t mention his voting againstrenewing the G.I. Bill, which passedCongress in May of this year. If you’d liketo see more of McCain’s and Obama’sentire voting record, go on the Web toProject Vote Smart, an independent, non-partisan record keeper of all of the votingrecords of elected officials.

John McCain said very little last nightabout how he intends to overcome hiseight-plus years of nearly total support forGWB and this disastrous war, and for the“no taxes” economic policy that, alongwith the war, has ruined the nation’sfinances and left us as debtors to China andEurope, and how he will somehow becomean agent for “change.”

He has said he will continue the war “fora hundred years” if necessary, a war cost-ing 10 billion dollars a month, until theU.S. secures a “victory.” And he has jokedabout bombing Iran. He says he will con-tinue the Bush tax cuts for the rich, in spiteof the now over 3 trillion dollar debt andthe disaster of the financial meltdown onWall Street. He will call for an “investiga-tion” into how the banks got into this cur-rent financial morass -- but he offered no

solutions other than to promise as Presidentto throw out a commissioner he wouldhave no power to throw out. He has offeredvery little in proposing how he would pro-vide relief for homeowners facing loss oftheir homes and bankruptcy.

My mom taught me years ago that if youdon’t have the money to pay for something,you don’t buy it until you do. And youdon’t buy something expensive while youstill owe money on something else. JohnMcCain hasn’t learned that simple lesson,perhaps because he’s never had to.

McCain leads, Obama follows

To the Editor:For years, McCain called for a “surge”

in Iraq. Obama voted against it saying itwouldn’t work, only recently admitting thatit succeeded beyond his “wildest expecta-tions.”

In 2005, McCain testified in Congressthat Freddy Mac and Fannie Mae neededserious reform and later co-sponsored leg-islation to reform them. It was bottled upby Democrats in committee. Obama did notfavor the legislation. Could it be the$126,349 he received from Freddy andFannie flavored his judgment? Or was itthe two former Fannie Mae executives,Franklin Raines and James Johnson, thatare his campaign advisors?

In August, McCain was quick to con-demn the Russian invasion of neighboringGeorgia. Obama fumbled for three daysbefore issuing a statement that mirroredMcCain’s.

In September, McCain suspended hiscampaign to return to Washington to bedirectly involved in the legislative discus-sions addressing the recent financial crisis.Obama issued a statement acknowledgingthe seriousness of the crisis noting that hecould be called if needed. Were the Illinoisvoters who sent him to the Senate to repre-sent their interests shortchanged? Or maybehe considered resolving the potential melt-down of our economy above his pay grade.After another day, Obama followedMcCain to the capitol.

In November are we going to elect aleader who leads or a leader who follows?

Maybe the Democrats ought to changetheir 2008 campaign slogan from “Changewe can believe in.” to “Better Late thanNever.”

Letters from our readers

V i s i t o u r w e b s i t e a t u k i a h d a i l y j o u r n a l . c o me m a i l u s a t u d j @ p a c i f i c . n e t

From the desk of ...ROBERT SAMUELSON

Watching the slipping economy and Congress’ epicdebate over the unprecedented $700 billion financialbailout, it is impossible not to wonder whether this is1929 all over again. Even sophisticated observersinvoke the comparison. Martin Wolf, the chief eco-nomics commentator for The Financial Times, began arecent column: “It is just over three score years and tensince the (end of the) Great Depression.” What’sfrightening is not any one event but the prospect thatthings are slipping out of control. Panic -- political aswell as economic -- is the enemy.

There are parallels between then and now, but thereare also big differences. Now as then, Americans bor-rowed heavily before the crisis -- in the 1920s for cars,radios and appliances; in the past decade, for homes oragainst inflated home values. Now as then, the crisiscaught people by surprise and is global in scope. Butunlike then, the federal government is a huge part ofthe economy (20 percent versus 3 percent in 1929) andits spending -- for Social Security, defense, roads --provides greater stabilization. Unlike then, govern-ment officials have moved quickly, if clumsily, to con-tain the crisis.

We need to remind ourselves that economic slumps-- though wrenching and disillusioning for millions --rarely become national tragedies. Since the late 1940s,the United States has suffered 10 recessions. On aver-age, they’ve lasted 10 months and involved peakmonthly unemployment of 7.6 percent; the worst(those of 1973-75 and 1981-82) both lasted 16 monthsand had peak unemployment of 9.0 percent and 10.8percent, respectively. We are almost certainly in arecession now; but joblessness, 6.1 percent inSeptember, would have to rise spectacularly to matchpost-World War II highs.

The stock market tells a similar story. There havebeen 10 previous postwar bear markets, defined asdeclines of at least 20 percent in the Standard & Poor’s500 index. The average decline was 31.5 percent;those of 1973-74 and 2000-02 were nearly 50 percent.By contrast, the S&P’s low point so far (Monday, Sept.29) was 29 percent below the peak reached in October2007.

The Great Depression that followed the stock mar-ket’s collapse in October 1929 was a different beast.By the low point in July 1932, stocks had droppedalmost 90 percent from their peak. The accompanyingdevastation -- bankruptcies, foreclosures, bread lines -- lasted a decade. Even in 1940, unemployment wasalmost 15 percent. Unlike postwar recessions, theDepression submitted neither to self-correcting marketmechanisms or government policies. Why?

Capitalism’s inherent instabilities were blamed --fairly, up to a point. Over-borrowing, over-investmentand speculation chronically govern business cycles.But the real culprit in causing the Depression’s depthand duration was the Federal Reserve. It unwittinglytransformed an ordinary, if harsh, recession into acalamity by permitting a banking collapse and a disas-trous drop in the money supply.

From 1929 to 1933, two-fifths of the nation’s banksfailed; depositor runs were endemic; the money supply(basically, cash plus bank deposits) declined by morethan a third. People lost bank accounts; credit for com-panies and consumers shriveled. Economic retrench-ment fed on itself and overwhelmed the normal mech-anisms of recovery. These channels included: surplusinventories being sold, so companies could reorder;strong firms expanding as weak competitors disap-peared; high debts being repaid so borrowers couldresume normal spending.

What’s occurring now is a frantic effort to prevent amodern financial disintegration that deepens the eco-nomic downturn. It’s said that the $700 billion bailoutwill rescue banks and other financial institutions byhaving the Treasury buy their suspect mortgage-backed securities. In reality, the Treasury is also bail-ing out the Fed, which has already -- through variousactions -- lent financial institutions roughly $1 trillionagainst myriad securities. The increase in federaldeposit insurance from $100,000 to $250,000 aims todiscourage panicky bank withdrawals. In Europe, gov-ernments have taken similar steps; last week, Irelandguaranteed its banks’ deposits.

The cause of the Fed’s timidity in the 1930s remainsa matter of dispute. Some scholars suggest a futiledefense of the gold standard; others blame the flawed“real bills” doctrine that limited Fed lending tobesieged banks. Either way, Fed chairman BenBernanke, a scholar of the Depression, understands theerror. The Fed’s lending and the bailout aim to avoid aruinous credit contraction.

The economy will get worse. The housing glutendures. Cautious consumers have curbed spending.Banks and other financial institutions will suffer morelosses. But these are all normal symptoms of reces-sion. Our real vulnerability is a highly complex andglobal financial system that might resist rescue andrevival. The Great Depression resulted from the mix ofa weak economy and perverse government policies. Ifwe can avoid a comparable blunder, the great drama ofthese recent weeks may prove blessedly misleading.

Robert Samuelson writes for the Washington Post .

Is this like 1929?

Q: My husband and I com-pleted our powers of attorney,wills and healthcare powers ofattorney. At our lawyer’s sug-gestion, we included ourdesires concerning our funer-als and burials in our wills.After we left his office, webecame concerned that ourwills might not be available intime since he told us to putthem in our safe-deposit box.When we called him, he toldus to give copies of our willsto our closest child so that hewould know our desires. Buthe lives 500 miles away. Wewant to make sure our wishesare carried out. Is there a bet-ter way?

A: Family disputes overfuneral services and burialarrangements are more com-mon than most think, espe-cially where, for example, asecond spouse is pit againstthe children of the first mar-riage or natural children dis-agree about the arrangementsthat have been made.

The best way to make sureyour funeral and burial plansare followed is to make themknown to your family mem-bers in writing and inadvance, and the best way tomake sure your desiresbecome reality is to preplanand prepay your arrangementswith the cemetery, crematori-um and/or funeral home ofyour choice while you are ableto do so.

Almost all funeral homeswill help you preplan yourservices and burial arrange-ments, including cremation,while you are alive. In thisway, you can avoid potentialfamily squabbles, remove aburden from grieving familymembers, negotiate your lastrights with a clear mind with-out being rushed or pressured,and make sure your instruc-tions are carried out to the let-ter by stating them in writing

and arranging payment inadvance.

Preplanning includes pre-payment to the funeral homefor all services you desire.The funeral home is requiredby law to keep your funds in atrust account pending yourdeath. We suggest that yourcontract with the funeralhome be irrevocable. If youand your wife have burial-insurance policies, think abouteither assigning them to thefuneral home or making thefuneral home the beneficiary.At a minimum, let your per-sonal representative or chosenfamily members and thefuneral home know wherethese policies can be found.Otherwise, your funeral maybe paid for before anyone dis-covers that your policies evenexist. If you are a veteran,check into benefits that maybe available, and make sure acopy of your military papers isavailable so that the claim canbe made in a timely manner.

If you choose to put direc-tions about your last rights inyour will, you may want touse a codicil (which is anamendment or addition toyour will) that contains onlyyour funeral and burialinstructions. You should giveyour codicil to the funeralhome or such other personyou may appoint to be incharge of your arrangements.Check with your lawyer to see

whether the law in your stateprotects a personal representa-tive or funeral home actingaccording to burial instruc-tions contained in a will orcodicil.

But remember: If youchange your mind about yourarrangements and do notchange your will or codicil,the conflict between the writ-ten document and subsequentoral instructions will surelycause a problem. Therefore,any changes you make shouldbe put in writing and deliveredto appropriate people, and theoutdated documents should bepicked up and destroyed.

If you wish to be an organdonor or to leave your body toa medical school, you shouldcontact the medical organiza-tion, receive a donor card,which should be kept withyou, and tell your familyabout your directions.Leaving your body to medi-cine today often includes apayment to the school for bur-ial.

Taking The NextStep: Aspart of the process of planningfor incapacity and estate mat-ters, you should considermaking your funeral arrange-ments to your family knows inadvance both your desires andwhat you want to spend. Thisis better than potential dis-putes and last-minute over-spending by grief-stricken rel-atives.

COMMUNITY BRIEFSIt’s happening here

By JOE LANGSTAFFThe Daily Journal

Last night the UkiahHigh School Wildcats vol-leyball team hosted thePiner Prospectors fromSanta Rosa in a North BayLeague match. The Ukiahvarsity was looking to evenits league record at 3-3.That they did so emphati-cally.

From the first momentsof first game the LadyWildcats took control of thematch and never let up.They kept the pressure onthe Prospectors with con-sistent, disciplined play.Rarely in any of the gamesdid Piner manage to take alead. On the rare occasionsthat they did, the lead wasslim and usually brief. Onthis night the Lady ‘Catswere not to be denied.

The first game sawUkiah build a five to sevenpoint lead which they main-tained throughout the gameand widened at the end for afinal score of 25-16.

Piner came back early inthe second game to have abrief lead until Ukiah tiedthe score at 7-7. But afterwinning the next point foran 8-7 lead, the Wildcatsnever trailed again in thegame, gradually increasing

their margin to seven, theneight points and finallywinning the game by nine,25-14.

Facing a possible sweepin game three, theProspectors seemed to playwith more determinationand effort. The result wasthe most closely contestedgame of the evening. Onlya couple points separatedthe two teams throughmuch of the game. Piner’slast lead was 17-16. At thatpoint, the Wildcats boredown, took back the lead,increased it to a margin ofthree at 22-19, and eventu-ally won the game by thatmargin, 25-22.

Having only eight play-ers required that all con-tribute in a team effort togain a victory. That theydid. In fact, two players fill-ing in for the injured play-ers were mentioned byCoach Pat Milovina fortheir play. Amber Robertshad eight aces and OliviaPolkinghorne contributedsix kills. Leading the teamin kills was Niclole Whitewith eleven, several ofwhich were set up byAshley Lower, who alsohad a nice service run ingame three.

The Ukiah JVs also had

a sweep of their own,defeating their Piner coun-terparts in two games, 25-12 and 25-14. EmilySimmonds had thee kills.

Morgan Perry had one killand four aces. AlejandraRuiz had three kills, threeaces. Erika Lish had threekills.

Ukiah came roaringout in the second halfwhen Khalil Capriscored on a 75-yardrun. Capri made the

first defender miss witha great move. Thedefender was fooled sobadly that he ran fiveyards in the wrongdirection looking forthe ball carrier. JoeGradek made the finalblock to spring Caprifor the score, as Capricontinued down thesidelines leaving sever-al Knights toppled overin his wake.

The Jr. Cubs P.A.T.had the distance on a

long snap by RJDolmage, a hold byGriffen Fales and akick by Joe Gradek.Unfortunately it sailedwide left. It was anincredible kick byGradek considering hehad twisted his ankleearlier in the game.

By BEN WALKERAP Baseball Writer

Exactly why the Boston RedSox and Tampa Bay Rays tan-gle so much is hard to tell.Blame it on a high-and-tightpitch here, a hard slide there.

Whatever, this much is true:The teams playing in the ALchampionship series sure getinto a lot of scraps.

“There’s no hatred,” injuredRed Sox pitcher Curt Schillinginsisted Tuesday in an e-mailto The Associated Press.

“It’s more a combination oftalent/personalities and placethan anything, I think. Foryears Tampa Bay was lookeddown on and the Sox were oneof the powerhouse teams. Thestart to respectability is asmuch an attitude as it is talentand a few years ago the Rays, I

think, got tired of being pushedaround,” he wrote.

That’s kind of how SarahPalin sees it, too.

“I know that earlier some ofthe experts this year were kindof tough on the Rays. I’ve beenthere,” the Republican vicepresidential candidate saidMonday during a speech inClearwater, Fla. “But what adifference a season can make,and now the Rays, in the play-offs for the first time ever.”

Even before their rise toprominence, the Rays wereplenty feisty. They’ve scuffledwith the Red Sox at least ahalf-dozen times this decade,punctuated by a wild brawl atFenway Park in June thatresulted in eight players get-ting suspended.

“You know, we’ve had

some good battles with themall year,” Boston pitcher JonLester said.

Other matchups in themajors get more attention, be itYankees-Red Sox or Cubs-Cardinals or Dodgers-Giants.But there is no baseball rivalrythat’s more spirited thanTampa Bay-Boston.

Funny, know who was oftenin the middle — somehow —of those slugfests?

Manny Ramirez.Yep, the same slugger who’s

now the main man in the NLchampionship series betweenthe Los Angeles Dodgers andPhiladelphia Phillies.

Ramirez, manager Joe Torreand the Dodgers open the best-of-seven set Thursday night atCitizens Bank Park.

Traded from Boston to Los

Angeles on July 31, Ramirezreprised his role as a one-manOctober wrecking crew in thefirst-round sweep of theChicago Cubs. The 2004World Series MVP went 5-for-10 with two home runs andfour walks.

“He could fight a bear witha stick and win,” praisedPhillies broadcaster GaryMatthews, MVP of the 1983NLCS when Philadelphia beatthe Dodgers.

Coming off their victoryover wild-card Milwaukee inthe opening round, the Philliesare aiming for their first cham-pionship since 1980. Torre, nostranger to the postseason, ishoping to lead Los Angeles toits first title since 1988.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP)— Omar Vizquel, the 11-timeGold Glove shortstop whowill be looking for work thiswinter, is recovering fromlaser surgery on his right eye.

“All went well,” Vizquelsaid in an e-mail.

He had the procedure lastweek once the season ended,then had to wait several daysas the eye healed beforereturning to his home in theSeattle area.

The 41-year-old Vizquelplayed the past four seasonsfor San Francisco but Giantsgeneral manager BrianSabean said after the seasonended there was “zero”chance of bringing him back.The Giants are committed to ayouth movement and wentwith speedy rookieEmmanuel Burriss at short-stop most of the time in theseason’s second half. Vizquelhandled himself well throughthe demotion and turned hisattention on helping teach theyoung infielders.

But he’s ready to get anoth-er shot, somewhere.

“There’s no doubt in mymind that I can still play,” hesaid. “I want to play, andthat’s what I’m going to do.”

Vizquel got a late start tothe year after needing arthro-scopic left knee surgery dur-ing spring training. He waslimited to 92 games — hisfewest since playing 64 in2003 for the ClevelandIndians, the second-to-lastyear of his 11-season tenurethere. Vizquel batted .222with 23 RBIs, 10 doubles anda triple in 2008.

He received a warm ova-tion in his final game for theGiants against the LosAngeles Dodgers on Sept. 28,and manager Bruce Bochy lethim take his position on thefield in the team’s waterfrontballpark in the top of the sixthinning before replacing himwith Ivan Ochoa.

Vizquel’s 2,654 games atshortstop are a major leaguerecord. He passed Venezuelancountryman and Hall ofFamer Luis Aparicio’s markof 2,583 in May. The 74-year-old Aparicio played 18 sea-sons from 1956-1973.

Mendocino County’sL o c a l N e w s p a p e r

Dear Annie: I have two children with myhusband, and he has a son from his first mar-riage. My mother-in-law treats my stepson,“Luke,” so much better than the other kids. Shehas Luke’s pictures all over her house, butnone of our children. She buys Luke expensivetoys all the time, but our children receive used,scratched presents, and only on their birthdaysand Christmas.

Mom makes no effort to spend time with ourkids and she only lives a mile down the road.We have to practically beg her to be involvedin their lives. We do see plenty of her, howev-er, when Luke spends the weekend with us.

I’ve asked my mother-in-law about herfavoritism and she said she feels bad for Lukebecause his parents are divorced and, since heis only with us part time, she feels she has tocompensate. My husband has talked to her, too,but she sees nothing wrong with “making Lukefeel special.”

My children are too young to realize what’s

going on, but I hate to think how they’ll feelwhen they are older. My husband doesn’t wantto limit contact because she is their grandmaand they love her. But I would like to see mychildren’s pictures on her wall, too. I want herto show the same affection for my children asshe does for Luke. What should we do? --Cinderella’s Stepmother

Dear Stepmother: Mom can dote on Lukewithout ignoring the other grandchildren, butwe suspect she feels that would be disloyal.This dynamic could change on its own as Lukegets older and your children are more engagingfor Grandma. We hope so. However, unless shesays or does mean things to your children,

don’t curtail her visits. They will accept her asshe is if that is how you present it. Meanwhile,are your parents close? Emphasize that rela-tionship and find other grandparent figures tofill the gap. Grandma will reap what she sows.

Dear Annie: My sister and her husbandboth have Ph.D.s. Her mother-in-law addressestheir mail to “Dr. and Mrs. Smith” even thoughshe knows my sister has earned the same dis-tinction as her son. This has gone on for over adecade.

When asked about this, her mother-in-lawstated, “Well, my son is the head of the house-hold so he is ’Doctor’ and I am proud of him.She is not as important as my son, so I willnever use her title because it could diminishmy son’s importance.” How insulting!

This woman is not senile nor is she fromanother culture where women are treated asinferior. My sister insists her mother-in-law istoo stupid to be corrected and she ignores her.I want to say something to this rude woman indefense of my sister at the next family gather-ing. Should I? -- Doctor’s Sister

Dear Sister: Absolutely not. So Mom isold-fashioned, sexist and loves her son morethan her daughter-in-law. Your sister gets todecide how to deal with this and she has cho-sen to ignore it. We know you want to stick upfor her, but we can see how she earned thatdoctorate. Please respect her decision.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “NotInterested in the Stud,” whose neighbor con-stantly adjusts himself in her presence.

Many years ago, I was employed by a maleshopkeeper 10 years my senior. He, too, keptadjusting himself around me. I noticed he per-formed the same ritual every time he spoke toa female customer, but never when talking to afemale family member. Turns out, he was soself-conscious around women that he had anervous habit of continually checking to see ifhis fly was open. The behavior was soingrained, he had no idea he was doing it. Oncehe became aware of the action, it stopped. --Been There, Seen That

Dear Been There: Thank you for pointingout an additional, less worrisome reason forthis behavior.

moisture into the air aroundyour plants during the night,keeping the air somewhatwarmer.

• Even a slight breeze willprevent cold air from settlingnear the ground during thenight. You can help keep frostfrom forming by providingthis breeze artificially with anelectric fan. Be sure to protectthe fan and all electrical con-nections from water and theelements.

• Cover up your plantsbefore dusk. By the time itgets dark much of the storedheat in the garden has alreadybeen lost. If you have time,build a simple frame aroundthe plant, or row of plants.(Even a single stake can beused in many cases.) Thendrape a cover of newspaper,cardboard, plastic tarps, bedsheeting or any other light-weight material over theframe to create a tent. If youdon’t have time to create aframe, lay the protectivecover directly onto the plant.This will help to slow the lossof heat rising from the foliageand the ground. Remove thecovers in the morning, oncethe frost has thawed, to let thelight and fresh air back in, andto prevent overheating by the

sun.• For smaller individual

plants you can use glass jars,milk jugs with the bottomremoved, paper cups upsidedown flowerpots as heat traps.Don’t forget to remove thesecovers in the morning.

• You can collect heat dur-ing the day by painting plasticmilk jugs black and fillingthem with water. Place themaround your plants where theywill collect heat during theday. Water loses heat moreslowly than either soil or air.This collected heat will radi-ate out throughout the night.

• Potted plants are particu-larly susceptible to frostsbecause the roots are alsounprotected. If you are unableto move your container plantsindoors or under coverremember to also wrap the potin burlap or bubble wrap, orsimply bury the pot in soil inaddition to protecting thefoliage.

and Friday night for protectedinland valleys where readingsmay plummet to the lower tomiddle 30s. Along the coast,temperatures may drop intothe middle to upper 30s inareas protected from thewind.”

Also in the statement, theNWS strongly advised thosewith outdoor gardens to takethe necessary steps to protecttheir crops.

“Those wishing to protecttemperature-sensitive vegeta-tion should consider thosepreparations at this time andkeep informed of later fore-casts and potential advisoriesin subsequent days,” stated aportion of the release.

Arlena Moses, a meteorol-ogist at the NWS station inEureka, said the cold snapwas on time or even a littleahead of schedule.

“It seems to kind of happenon average for mid- to late-October, so it would makethis a little early,” she said.“We’ve had other years whentemperatures are around 37 inearly September.”

Moses said the chilly frontwas an isolated incident andthat temperatures wouldclimb back to normal after itsexit.

“What is happening is sea-sonal for this time of year,”she said. “There’s a low pres-sure front sliding down fromthe Gulf of Alaska. It’s knownas an ‘inside slider’ because itslides down the RockyMountains. As that guymoves off to the east in thelate weekend, we’ll be return-ing back to more seasonabletemperatures.”

Moses said that steps takenearly to prevent frost damagewould pay dividends after thefront had passed.

“If you’re really concernedabout plants you can takethem inside or put burlap overthem,” she said.
