Judge denies request to release Jenateenager, one day after civil rights protest

JENA, La. (AP) — A judge on Friday denied a request torelease a teenager whose arrest in the beating of a white class-mate sparked this week’s civil rights protest in Louisiana.

Mychal Bell’s request to be freed while an appeal is beingreviewed was rejected at a juvenile court hearing, effectivelydenying him any chance at immediate bail, a person familiarwith the case told The Associated Press.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because juve-nile court proceedings are closed. Earlier, Bell’s motheremerged from the hearing in tears, refusing to comment.

Bell, 17, was convicted of aggravated second-degree battery,which could have led to 15 years in prison. But his convictionwas thrown out by a state appeals court that said he could notbe tried on the charge as an adult because he was 16 at the timeof the beating.

On Thursday, the case drew thousands of protesters to thistiny central Louisiana town to rally against what they see as adouble standard of justice for blacks and whites. The march wasone of the biggest civil rights demonstrations in years.

The case dates to August 2006, when a black Jena HighSchool student asked the principal whether blacks could situnder a shade tree that was a frequent gathering place forwhites. He was told yes. But nooses appeared in the tree thenext day.

Condoleezza Rice orders review of securitypractices for U.S. diplomats in Iraq

WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State CondoleezzaRice said Friday she had ordered a “full and complete review”of security practices for U.S. diplomats in Iraq following adeadly weekend incident involving private guards protecting anembassy convoy.

Rice’s announcement came as the U.S. Embassy in Baghdadresumed limited diplomatic convoys under the protection ofBlackwater USA outside the heavily fortified Green Zone aftera two-day suspension because of the weekend incident in thatcity.

Rice said she had directed the State Department to examine“how we are providing security to our diplomats.”

The review will include all aspects of protection, includingthe rules of engagement for security guards and under what juri-sidiction they should be covered, department spokesman SeanMcCormack said.

While on a plane returning from the Middle East toWashington, Rice ordered the review on Thursday in a phonecall to the veteran diplomat who will lead it, Patrick Kennedy,a senior management official, according to McCormack. Hesaid the review would be conducted as quickly as possible andmight bring in outside experts.

Louisiana, Mississippi prepare for firstbrush with tropical weather since 2005

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Coastal Louisiana and Mississippiprepared Friday for what could be their first brush with tropicalweather since hurricanes Katrina and Rita laid waste to the areaand killed more than 1,600 people more than two years ago. Atropical depression lurking off the Florida Gulf Coast wasexpected to grow into a weak tropical storm before comingashore Saturday afternoon, probably in Mississippi.

Tropical storm warnings stretched from Apalachicola, Fla.,to the mouth of the Mississippi River. Forecasts showed thesystem possibly moving as far east as Mobile, Ala., or as farwest as New Orleans.

No evacuations were ordered, but authorities were monitor-ing the storm closely.

People living in some flood-prone areas of Mississippi wereurged to seek substantial shelter. Officials in the New Orleans-area weighed whether to open shelters or evacuate trailer parks.Decisions were expected by late afternoon.

Showers were expected to begin Friday evening in NewOrleans. Forecasters said the area could receive 2 to 4 inches bythe end of the day Saturday. Wind gusts of up to 55 mph werealso possible, raising concerns for the thousands of residentsstill living in FEMA trailers in the region.

Giuliani tries to reassure NRA membersof his support for the right to bear arms

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican Rudy Giuliani soughtto reassure the National Rifle Association of his support for aconstitutional right to bear arms as rivals Fred Thompson, JohnMcCain and Mike Huckabee contended the former New Yorkmayor is no friend of gun owners. In a direct appeal Friday tothe powerful lobbying group, Thompson, McCain andHuckabee stressed their backing for gun rights and record ofsiding with the NRA. Giuliani, who once referred to the NRAas “extremists,” tried to explain his shifting views on the issue.

The NRA’s support is prized as the group blankets its 4 mil-lion members with ads, mailings and phone calls. Before the2008 election, it hopes to increase its numbers.

“I’d like us to respect each other; I think we have very, verylegitimate and mostly similar views,” Giuliani told NRA mem-bers, who clapped politely a dozen times during his 20-minutespeech. Giuliani also tried to explain why, as mayor, he joineda lawsuit by several cities against the gun industry, arguing thatmanufacturers and distributors made it too easy for criminals toget guns.

MIT student wearing fake bombarrested at gunpoint at Logan Airport

BOSTON (AP) — Troopers arrested an MIT student at gun-point Friday after she walked into Logan International Airportwearing a computer circuit board and wiring on her sweatshirt.Authorities call it a fake bomb; she called it art.

Star Simpson’s attorney said the charges against her were anoverreaction, but authorities expressed amazement that some-one would wear such a device eight months after a similar scarein Boston, and six years after two of the jets hijacked in theSept. 11 attacks took off from Logan.

“I’m shocked and appalled that somebody would wear thistype of device to an airport,” said State Police Maj. Scott Pare,the airport’s commanding officer. The terminal was not evacu-ated and flights were not affected, airport officials said.

Simpson, 19, of Hawaii, has expertise in electronics and evenreceived a Congressional citation for her work in robotics,according to her lawyer.

Half of the wild bison on Santa CatalinaIsland have a little bit of cow in them

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Long thought to be purebred, thewild bison of Santa Catalina Island in fact have a little bit ofcow in them, the first DNA analysis of the animals found.

Nearly half of the 98 American bison shipped off the islandin 2004 have cattle genes that were passed on through the moth-er. Catalina bison were believed to be purer than those on themainland because they lived in isolation on the island since the1920s. “We were surprised because there’s nothing cattle aboutthem. They look like bison,” said biologist Dennis Hedgecockof the University of Southern California, who co-authored thestudy. The research done at USC and Texas A&M Universityappears in the latest issue of the journal Animal Genetics.

Scientists believe the crossbreeding occurred long before thebison were brought to Catalina Island. Hedgecock said theCatalina herd likely descended from animals on the famousGoodnight Ranch in Texas where cattle ranchers mated bison,also called buffalo, with cows to create a better beef animal.The ranch called the offspring of the union “cataloes.”

Bison have roamed Catalina since 1924 when 14 head werebrought in as extras for the silent film “The VanishingAmerican,” though the movie did not include footage of thebison. The animals became a mainstay on the island and grewto a herd of 600 at one point.

Chris Crocker hopes to find TV stardomafter ‘Leave Britney Alone’ video

(AP) Chris Crocker has been called “queer,” “a human trainwreck,” the “Britney guy,” an androgynous “it” and much,much worse. But how does this 19-year-old Internet phenome-non, known worldwide for his tearful YouTube defense ofBritney Spears, define himself? “I’m the key to world peace,”says Crocker, sporting a sleeveless black T-shirt with a hot pinksilhouette of Marilyn Monroe. His blond bob is swept behind anear and the eye liner is, as always, flawless.

World peace aside, the teenager has captured millions ofviewers on MySpace and YouTube with his passionate, campyand sometimes furious monologues about life.

Associated Press SACRAMENTO — State

officials and a Los Angelescompany were alerted lastyear that lunch boxes import-ed by the firm from Chinacontained high amounts oflead, an environmental groupsaid Friday.

The state Department ofPublic Health warned con-sumers on Thursday not to useabout 56,000 lunch boxes thatwere imported by the compa-ny, T-A Creations, and distrib-uted through a state programto encourage healthy eatingand exercise.

The Center for Environ-mental Health, an organiza-tion based in Oakland, said itfound high amounts of lead ina lunch box from T-A Cre-ations that was given out at asummer camp sponsored by aHillsborough school.

The center said it notifiedT-A Creations in April 2006and filed a lawsuit the follow-ing August that sought toforce the company to stopimporting lead-tainted prod-ucts. The lawsuit is still pend-ing, and T-A Creations hasrefused to discuss a settle-ment, center officials said.

“It is outrageous for a com-pany that has long knownabout this problem to be socavalier about exposing chil-dren to lead,” said MichaelGreen, the center’s executivedirector, in a statement. “Wehope that the state will takeswift action to hold this com-pany accountable for puttingprofits ahead of children’shealth.”

An employee at T-A Cre-ations, Stan Cipriano, said allinformation about the lawsuithad been forwarded to thecompany’s attorney, who didnot immediately respond to arequest for comment fromThe Associated Press.

In filing the suit underProposition 65 — a 1986 bal-lot measure that attempts toreduce public exposure todangerous chemicals — thecenter had to notify the attor-ney general’s office, saidCharles Margulis, a spokes-man for the center.

That requirement gives theattorney general the option oftaking over the case, joining itas a co-plaintiff or standingback and letting the privateorganization proceed with thelawsuit, Margulis added.

eyes of others, and shalt know of thine ownknowledge and not through the knowledge of

RELIGION BRIEFSBy PETER ENAVThe Associated Press

SAPULOU, Taiwan --Sixty years after RomanCatholic and Presbyterianmissionaries first convertedlarge numbers of Taiwaneseaboriginals in their leafymountain villages,Christianity here is entering anew phase. Adherents areleaving the faith.

Faced with a decliningagricultural economy in theirhard pressed rural communi-ties, more and more upcountryChristians are moving toTaiwan’s bustling cities,where worldly temptationsand a bewildering socialframework are challengingtheir beliefs.

At a recent Sunday morn-ing service in the nearby com-munity of Laolauran,American Presbyterian mis-sionary John McCall tried torally the faithful, as local hilltribe pastor Sakulu translatedhis Mandarin Chinese sermoninto the aboriginal language ofPaiwanese.

“God loves you and he isyour father,” McCall said.“You’re all the children ofGod.”

But the church was mostlyempty, and the worshippersincluded few if any youngadults.

“I used to go to church,”said Dzwo Ying-gung, whorecently returned to the area towork at the Dawu MountainNational Education Center.“But now I don’t. My faith hasfallen away.”

The attitude of Dzwo andthousands of hill tribeTaiwanese like him representsa fundamental challenge toMcCall and the legion of localpastors he and his predeces-sors have helped train at threePresbyterian seminariesaround the island.

Ever since CanadianGeorge Mackay came to

Taiwan in 1871, the center ofthe missionary enterprise onthe island has always been itshill tribe people, whose ances-tors migrated here from southPacific islets about 6,000years ago.

The Paiwan and othersonce proved much morereceptive to Christianity thantheir lowland neighbors, whofollowed Buddhism,Confucianism and Taoism.

Today, some 65 percent ofthe hill tribe population of460,000 is Christian, aboutequally divided betweenPresbyterians and Catholics,according to government sta-tistics. That compares withabout 2 percent of Taiwan’s22.5 million Han Chinese,who originated on the Chinesemainland, where they consti-tute a large majority.

Sociologist Jonathan Ungerof Canberra’s AustralianNational University said thehill tribes were more open tothe Christian message largelybecause of the prejudice theyfelt from the Han. Other Asianminority peoples, in placeslike southwest China, Laos,and upland Thailand, alsowere more willing to embraceChristianity, he said.

“It’s a common phenome-non that a minority peopleconsidered inferior in manyrespects by the dominant cul-ture will protect itself by turn-ing to a world religion,”Unger said.

Rangalu, a 45-year-old pri-mary school teacher in the hilltribe village of Sapulou, saidthe discrimination he experi-enced played a key role informing his own Paiwan iden-tity.

“When I was in school inTaipei the (Han) teacherwould say, ’Look at thisPaiwan kid, he’s so dark, he’sdirty, don’t play with him,”’he said. “It really made animpression.”

His wife Muni, 39, citedanother reason forChristianity’s popularity: thehealth care and other socialservices provided by foreignmissionaries.

“They were all very poor,they had very few clothes,”said Muni, who spent sevenyears studying theology at theYusan Presbyterian Seminaryin the eastern Taiwanese cityof Hualien. “But the mission-aries came and cured them,they gave them clothes andthey taught them to loveGod.”

But now, she said morelocal young people are goingto Taiwanese cities in searchof work.

“They are discriminatedagainst, they lose their con-nection to the church, theystart to drink, their livesbecome unstable,” she said.

Placed near the base of asteeply rising mountain cov-ered with coconut palms,stands of bamboo, and verdantrows of acacia trees, many ofthe homes in Sapulou villageare decorated with handsomewood carvings depicting tradi-tional Paiwan symbols: ser-pents, warriors holding spears,and hunting scenes featuringwild mountain pigs.

Sapulou lies near the south-ern extreme of the 240-milemountainous spine that runsdown the center of Taiwan andhosts its 13 government-rec-ognized aboriginal tribes.

Dappled with satellite dish-es -- and only a few milesremoved from a railway stopon the line to the mostly Hancity of Taidung -- the village is

California focus

Great music abounds locally

To the Editor:There was a letter to the editor remind-

ing us how good it is that the UkiahSchool of Music will be able to continuein its present location, and listing manylocal musicians. To that list, we could addthe singers in the Ukiah Valley Madrigalgroup and Hesperia. These groups includeprofessional voice teachers and perform-ers as well as those who are musicians intheir hearts but have day jobs in other pro-fessions.

We were able to attend the concert ofthe Ukiah Valley Madrigal group lastSunday in Mendocino, where they pre-sented a great program of English vocalmusic, mostly from the time of QueenElizabeth I when there was a tremendoussurge of creativity on several other frontsas well.

In addition, they presented one Britishfolk song set by Ralph Vaughn Williams,and the premier of “Nature Never DidBetray the Heart that Loved Her,” a set-ting of poetry by William Wordsworthcomposed by local musician, radio host,and writer David Rounds who also singsin the group.

I think we are lucky to be able to attendlive music events, and this has been agreat summer for various series of musicevents. There is the camaraderie of thosewho love to hear music and to perform it,not to mention the moments when every-thing goes right and the performance“catches fire.”

Wait for the whole storyTo the Editor:Recently in an article titled, “Students

left of the side of the road,” it is reportedthat a local school bus driver requestedthat a number of students leave the bus forbeing disruptive.

I’m sure all the parents of these kidsonly heard one side of the story. I thinkthat the parents, school board and readingcommunity should hold their opinionsuntil they have had a chance to hear bothsides of the story.

I know how all the parents in the areawould like to believe that their childrenare little angels, but sometimes youthfulenergy gets the better of self control andlittle angels become something less.

All parents need to remind their kids

that the driver of the bus is in charge andthe driver’s instruction is to be obeyed.Unnecessary distraction on the bus placesevery person on the bus in harms waysand can result in a serious accident.

We need the while story!Marc Parsley

Good voting bill neededTo the Editor:AB1294 can bring much-needed

election reform to Mendocino County.This bill gives California localgovernments the option of switching toinstant runoff voting, also known asranked voting. Local governments savemoney on elections, winning candidatesmust earn the support of a majority ofvoters, and voters can vote for candidatesthey really support without worryingabout “wasting” a vote on a candidate notconsidered a “front-runner”. You can learnmore at www.mendovote.org.

Remember the “think globally, actlocally” thing? This is it. Voting systemsand support at the local level creates asolid foundation for statewide andnationwide election reform.

AB1294 was approved by the StateAssembly and Senate, but still needs thegovernor’s signature. So far, votes havebeen mostly along party lines with thedemocratic majority prevailing. We don’tknow what our republican governor willdo. You can help by asking GovernorSchwarzenegger to sign AB1294. This billdoesn’t mandate anything, but gives localgovernments control over their ownelections.

Widening economicinequalities

Sweet land of libertyNAT HENTOFF

First Amendmenttriumphs over Bush

Nat Hentoff is a nationally renownedauthority on the First Amendment and theBill of Rights.

On July 4, 2004, President George W. Bushwas in Charleston, W.Va., to help celebrateIndependence Day. In the audience were twodissenters from some of his policies. On thefront of their T-shirts, Jeff and Nicole Rankhad the word "Bush" crossed out. On the backof Nicole's T-shirt was "Love America, HateBush."

White House advance-team staff membersordered the young couple to remove or covertheir shirts or leave the event. Since they wereon public property and were not being disrup-tive, the Ranks refused, pointing out that theywere within their First Amendment rights offree speech.

Then there was a disruption. The advanceteam instructed the local police to arrest theRanks for trespassing and to forcibly removethem in handcuffs. They were jailed briefly,and criminal charges were filed against them.

"We couldn't believe what was happeningto us," said American citizen Nicole Rank."We tried to tell them we had a right toexpress our opinions in a peaceful way, butthey wouldn't listen to us."

They wouldn't listen because they wereobeying the Presidential Advance Manual thatdetails the ways in which protesters at presi-dential appearances must be "deterred" and, ifpossible, kept out of the sight of the presidentand the press.

I am able to tell you about the PresidentialAdvance Manual because the American CivilLiberties Union filed a lawsuit in federal courton behalf of the Ranks and the FirstAmendment. In the course of this legal action,the White House's instructions on how tosafeguard the president of the United Statesfrom peaceful protest -- even on the Fourth ofJuly -- were obtained.

The president, I know, reads history,including American history, and I suggest healso read carefully the Presidential AdvanceManual, from the Office of PresidentialAdvice, released in October 2002 and still ineffect. I believe he will be embarrassed by it,and I hope he takes appropriate action.

Because of the ACLU lawsuit, appropriateaction in accord with the Bill of Rights hasbeen taken. Last month, the U.S. governmentsettled the lawsuit, paying the Ranks $80,000plus mediation costs, but admits no wrongdo-ing. Criminal charges against them have beendismissed, and the temporary suspension ofNicole Rank from the Federal EmergencyManagement Agency (FEMA), where sheworks, was lifted.

In this case -- there are others pendingaround the country about the FirstAmendment's having been clubbed by thePresidential Advance Manual -- the FirstAmendment is no longer imperiled inCharleston, W.Va.

There is a welcome addition to this partialredemption of the First Amendment, fromwhich all our liberties flow, that merits furtherattention.

On July 19, 2004, the City Council ofCharleston (not a defendant in this case)unanimously passed a commendable, patriot-ic resolution apologizing to Jeff and NicoleRank. In what civics classes are left in thenation's public school system, I suggest thisresolution be obtained and discussed. Itbegins:

"Whereas, the founders of this nationdeclared that principles of law, enumerated ina Constitution and its Amendments, wouldgovern them and those who followed, asopposed to the arbitrary will and rules of theKing of England (as detailed in theDeclaration of Independence) ...

"That first Independence Day 228 yearsago preserved the right of every citizen toexpress himself or herself peacefully (in anon-obscene manner) ... regardless of whetherthat expression is popular, or unpopular ... aview of the majority or the minority...

"Knowing what we know now, with theadvantage of having information that was notavailable to the (Charleston) officers whenthey acted ... Nicole and Jeff Rank should nothave been arrested ...

"If Nicole and Jeff Rank did nothing morethan wear T-shirts which expressed their per-sonal views and political opinions, and if thatwas the real reason that event officials (fol-lowing the Presidential Advance Manual)directed our officers to arrest them, thenNicole and Jeff Rank deserve an apology ...and the City does hereby apologize to Nicoleand Jeff Rank."

As of this writing, there has been no apolo-gy from President George W. Bush.

Mr. President, there should be. As Samuel Adams, a principal igniter of

the American Revolution, said, "Driven fromevery other corner of the earth, freedom ofthought and the right of private judgment inmatters of conscience direct their course tothis happy country as their last asylum."

California is rapidly become a classic example of aplace where the rich get richer and the poor continual-ly get poorer.

That's been true for a decade or more when it comesto employment, where pay for high-end jobs requiringcollege degrees or higher has grown rapidly, whilewages for unskilled labor in fields, carwashes, restau-rants and hotels have risen only slightly.

Now the real estate market is creating even moresevere inequalities. Example: In one ZIP code area ofsouthern Santa Monica, there were two foreclosureson houses during the second quarter of last year andtwo again for the same time period this year.Meanwhile, in another ZIP code almost 100 miles eastin the Riverside County city of Moreno Valley, therewere 23 foreclosures during the second quarter of lastyear and 296 this year. Guess where prices are stillabout three times higher. Statewide, foreclosures wereup from about 20,000 during that time period last yearto 53,000 this year.

Strikingly, property values in most neighborhoodsare down this year, but they are actually up in high-endareas where home prices average more than $1 mil-lion.

So the rich are still getting richer, and the poor -even the not-so-poor and the middle class - are gettingmuch poorer, seeing whatever equity they've built upover years of making house payments disappear in aprice slump and then often having to abandon theirhomes when monthly payments on some sub-primemortgages rise after three or five years of requiringonly interest.

But that kind of inequality occurs every time there'sa real estate recession like the one in which the entirenation is mired today.

Even more serious and permanent is the wideningdifference between economic classes in this statespawned by the ongoing wave of immigration fromLatin America, both legal and illegal.

"By slow degrees, California has changed from astate where opportunities abounded and prosperitywas more broadly shared to one with an increasingdivide between the rich and the poor," reports JeanRoss, executive director of the Sacramento-basedCalifornia Budget Project, a non-partisan analysisagency. "It makes it harder for working families tosucceed and to give their children a decent start inlife."

A new report from the Budget Project finds the gapbetween low-wage and high-wage workers haswidened more in California than other parts ofAmerica.

One reason for this, the study found, is that jobgrowth in this state has come mostly at the high endand the low end of the wage scale, while the middleground remains largely stagnant.

What the report does not say is that these conditionsare largely the result of buildups in the high technolo-gy sector and the steady stream of immigration, bothlegal and illegal.

High-technology jobs require education and skills,unless they are simple assembly line posts. Companieslike Intel, Google, Yahoo, Qualcomm, Cisco Systemsand Oracle, which employ many thousands of work-ers, offer higher pay and better working conditionsthan normal. Fortune Magazine lists all of themamong the 50 best employers in America to work for.That's partly because their highly-skilled workers arein constant demand, with headhunters calling many ofthem almost daily. The high pay and free gourmetmeals some of these firms routinely provide are waysof hanging onto their best employees.

But no one would rank any car wash, restaurantkitchen or vineyard in that category. Jobs there payexponentially less than those in high-tech. No freemeals here, either. Not even a taco is gratis.

The low-end jobs stay in that category for two rea-sons: There is little or no competition for workersbecause these positions require few skills. The immi-grants who fill most of them are among the least edu-cated to arrive in America in the last century.Especially the illegals, who undergo no screening foreducation, disease, criminal record or anything else, aslegal immigrants must.

As a result, the Budget Project reports about 2 mil-lion California families with incomes below 200 per-cent of the federal poverty level of $13,690 per year.These families can offer their children few resources,often need children to join them and help at their jobsand they produce a large number of high schooldropouts. One result: school achievement tests show acontinuing gap between Latino children and whites.All those factors mitigate against future success for thechildren. The danger in all this is that extreme distancebetween economic classes has often been a harbingerof social unrest. It was one of the underlying causes ofriots like those in Watts and other parts of Los Angelesin 1965 and 1992.

This state's government appears utterly oblivious tothe problem, but continuing to ignore it can only leadto future trouble as rage builds gradually among manymillions of have-nots.

Jewish High Holiday services in Redwood Valley

Congregation Kol HaEmek (Voice of the Valley) is cele-brating the Jewish High Holidays at its shul, or place ofworship, in Redwood Valley. The period of the HighHolidays lasts for more than a week, beginning with RoshHaShanah and concluding with Yom Kippur. The entire timeis regarded as a profound opportunity for personal and com-munal reflection and renewal.

Because the Hebrew calendar is based on the moon, notthe sun, these holidays do not fall on the same dates eachyear. Rosh HaShanah, the Jewish New Year, began this yearwith an evening service on Wednesday, Sept. 12, and con-tinued the following day. The Kol HaEmek service is a com-bination of traditional and contemporary prayers, songs, andreadings, as well as the extraordinary sound produced by theblowing of the shofar, or ram’s horn.

The High Holiday cycle concludes with Yom Kippur, theDay of Atonement. The first Yom Kippur service, whichincludes performance of the beautiful music called KolNidre, was held on the evening of Friday, Sept. 21.Celebration of Yom Kippur continues this morning,Saturday, Sept. 22, and concludes on that day with an after-noon service at which time deceased loved ones are remem-bered by the reading of their names (known in Hebrew as“yizkor”). Many observant Jews maintain a fast during thisholiday; traditionally, Yom Kippur ends when three stars arevisible in the night sky, and the fasting ends then, too.

Kol HaEmek is located at 8591 West Road in RedwoodValley, next to Eagle Peak Middle School. For more infor-mation, call 468-4536.

All people of good faith are invited to attend, in particu-lar those of Jewish background who are not presently mem-bers of Kol HaEmek. The congregation, formerly known asthe Mendocino County Inland Jewish Community, is led byRabbi Shoshanah Devorah and includes Jews of widelydiverse experience and belief.

not nearly as isolated as someother aboriginal villages in thehigh mountain country.

In one of the village’s moresolid looking homes, Kanpiand his wife Lumiya, both 70,welcomed a group of foreignand local visitors with a tradi-tional Paiwan melody embell-ished with modern Christianlyrics.

“We welcome our guests tothe house,” they sang. “Wethank the Lord we have allcome together in our home.”

The walls of the simplestructure were covered withthe spoils of Kanpi’s huntingcareer -- assorted pig skulls,eagle feathers, and deer skins.They served as poignantreminders of the recent past,when hunting and subsistence

farming were the core of thePaiwan existence.

One of the visitors wasMcCall, who first came toTaiwan in 1996 after beinginspired by stories fromretired missionaries near hishome in Black Mountain,N.C.

A tall, youthful-looking 49,with a thick shock of salt-and-pepper colored hair, McCallsaid that after almost 12 yearsin Taiwan he remained com-mitted to his mission of help-ing to prepare young hilltribes people for ordinationinto the Presbyterian ministry.

But mindful of Muni’s ear-lier remarks, he acknowl-edged the challenge of keep-ing faith alive for a new gen-eration of hill tribe Christians.

“In the first generation andeven the second the fire is stillvery high,” he said. “But nowthe struggle is harder. The fireis starting to fade.”

BERKELEY — If DeSeanJackson had just kept his toesinbounds on that final catchagainst Arizona last season,the California star knows hecould have run all the way tothe Rose Bowl.

Cal’s current season hasbeen all about settling year-old scores so far. The No. 6Golden Bears (3-0) can get ameasure of payback for lastseason’s 24-20 loss in Tucson— a defeat that cost Cal theoutright Pac-10 title — whenthe Wildcats (1-2) visitMemorial Stadium onSaturday for both clubs’ con-ference opener.

Despite several mistakes inlast season’s meeting — andat least three head-scratchingofficiating decisions that allwent against the Bears — Calcould have won on a 63-yardTD catch by Jackson with2:18 left. But video reviewrevealed that the Cal speedsterhad stepped inches out ofbounds.

“They played us to thewire. It was a great game,”said Jackson, who had 285 all-purpose yards against theWildcats. “I honestly feel theoutcome should have beendifferent. ... We definitelythink we owe Arizona (for)last year. We could have beenat the Rose Bowl if we hadn’tlost to them, but we were at

their house, and they got a lotof good calls.”

While the Bears’ season-opening victory overTennessee was about redemp-tion, this meeting with theinconsistent Wildcats is moreabout proving Cal’s Pac-10predominance.

Except for a Nov. 10 visitfrom USC, Cal’s most danger-ous conference games are onthe road this season — atOregon, Washington, UCLAand Arizona State. Stayingunbeaten at home, where Calhas won nine straight, is cru-cial to the Bears’ hopes offinally cracking the BowlChampionship Series.

Cal went 10-3 last year,earning a share of the confer-ence title and winning theHoliday Bowl, but losses toTennessee and Arizona haunt-ed the Bears into this season.

“It’s not something we’regoing to talk about every day,”Tedford said — though heacknowledged mentioning theloss to Arizona in a teammeeting just hours after lastweek’s 42-12 win overLouisiana Tech.

“I addressed it ... just toremember that feeling of lastyear,” Tedford said. “We didsome things in that game tobeat ourselves, and we can’tallow ourselves to do that. ...You have to take advantage ofbig plays against these guys,because you’re not going to

march the ball on them. It’snot going to happen. They’rejust too solid.”

Arizona coach Mike Stoopsdoesn’t share Tedford’s opti-mistic assessment of theWildcats’ defense. His jobsecurity is a hot topic of dis-cussion in Tucson after open-ing the season with losses toBYU and New Mexico,including last weekend’s 29-27 defeat in which the Loboschewed up Arizona’s vauntedsecondary.

“I just don’t think we’veplayed very good up to this

point,” Stoops said. “I thoughtwe played better last year thanwe have up to this point, forwhatever reason. You reallycan’t put your finger on any-thing. We’re just not playing ateam defensive game. Thepass coverage has been sus-pect, and obviously that willhave to improve going intothis game.”

The top matchup will fea-ture Jackson going againstArizona cornerback AntoineCason. The two were friendsgrowing up in Long Beach,Calif., and they threw playful

trash talk at each other beforelast season’s game — andagain at Pac-10 media day thissummer.

“We know each other realwell,” Jackson said. “He’s agreat corner, and I respect hima lot. He’s a great friend ofmine, but when game timecomes, there’s no friends.”

The Wildcats installed aspread offense this season, butit won’t bother the GoldenBears, who already have seentwo spreads this season — andgo against three of the nation’stop receivers in practice everyday. Cal’s biggest defensiveconcerns are injuries, sincestarting linemen Matt Maleleand Rulon Davis and line-backer Zack Follett all seemunlikely to play.

Tedford is hoping for fourconsistent quarters from hisoffense after tailback JustinForsett carried an inconsistentpassing game last week —and with a visit to No. 13Oregon looming next week,the Bears have only one moregame to get it right.

“A lot of guys are going togo out there and play hard,because last year was embar-rassing,” said receiver LavelleHawkins, who block-in-the-back penalty in last year’sgame nullified MarshawnLynch’s 79-yard TD run.“That messed up our RoseBowl out there.”

ANAHEIM — One morewin over the Seattle Marinersand the Los Angeles Angelsare AL West champions again.

Los Angeles beat Seattle 9-5 Thursday night to increaseits lead over the second-placeMariners to 9 1/2 games.

The Angels will try toclinch their third division titlein four years and becomebaseball’s first team to lock upa playoff berth when they faceSeattle on Friday night in thesecond game of a four-gameseries.

Los Angeles’ Joe Saunderswill take the mound againstformer Angel JarrodWashburn.

In other AL games,Baltimore beat Texas 6-3 in 10innings and Kansas Cityblanked the Chicago WhiteSox 3-0.

The West rivalry turnedheated and led to a scrum atthe mound on Thursday, whenVladimir Guerrero had toduck two fastballs by Seattlereliever Jorge Campillo.

After Angels starter JeredWeaver hit Kenji Johjima inthe back as he tried to twistaway from the ball in thefourth inning, Campillo camein high and tight against JeffMathis in the bottom half,then threw close to Guerrero’shead.

Guerrero got back in thebatter’s box, dug in and hit atwo-run homer, his 26th, paus-ing at home to watch as theball cleared the fence.

After Campillo’s fastballwhizzed past Guerrero’s headin the sixth, the slugger got upoff the ground, pointed andstarted toward the moundbefore he was restrained bySeattle first baseman BenBroussard and Angels manag-er Mike Scioscia.

Although both benches —and bullpens — emptied andgathered around the mound,there apparently were nopunches thrown. Campillo

and Seattle manager JohnMcLaren were ejected.

Scioscia, who notched his700th victory since becomingthe Angels manager in 2000,had harsh words for Campillo.

“I don’t know where thatguy came off throwing atMathis and Guerrero. If itcame from the bench, it’smore disturbing,” Sciosciasaid. “If that guy’s not sus-pended for a month, some-thing’s wrong because thosetwo were as flagrant as theyget.

“Our philosophy’s not toretaliate. The league’s got totake some action and I’m surethey will.”

The usually stoic Guerrerosaid he started toward themound because he was angryat the pitch.

Guerrero, relegated to DHrecently because of a soreright triceps, stood alone nextto the plate while players fromboth teams mobbed themound, shouting and shovingbefore the umpires broke it up.

“If I’m going to get hit,that’s fine. You can hit me, butstay away from my head.When they do it twice, that’stoo much,” Guerrero saidthrough a translator. “Andwhat they did to our catcher,too.”

Asked if he was making astatement when he paused towatch his homer, Guerrerosaid, “I’m not going to lieabout it, yes. As a hitter, theway you want to answer is totake a good swing. I’m glad itwent out of the ballpark.

“But I don’t want to getcaught up in that. It was rightfor that situation, but I hope itdoesn’t happen again.”

Weaver said he had nointention of hitting Johjima.

“That was just one of theones of the year that got awayfrom me,” said Weaver, whohas hit only one other batterthis year. “They proved theirpoint one time, and there wasno need for it to get that bad.

“Especially going after

Vlade. He’s our superstar, he’sour guy who’s going to carryus in the playoffs. For them togo after him once, then goafter him again is completelyunnecessary. I don’t know if itwas frustrating for thembecause we were up five runsand their season’s kind of slip-ping.”

McLaren defendedCampillo, who was pitchingin just his fifth major league

game.“Guerrero’s hitting .600

against us. We throw the ballin the dirt and he hits it. Theguy hitting behind him (GarretAnderson) is their hottest hit-ter since the All-Star break, soyou pick your poison,” hesaid.

“Campillo threw it up andin and he overthrew it.”

Anderson doubled in a pair

of runs and Howie Kendricksingled home two more duringa five-run third inning againstRyan Feierabend (1-5) as LosAngeles erased a 2-0 deficit.

Weaver (13-7) left with a 7-4 lead after five innings andwon for the fifth time in hispast six starts.

He gave up nine hits,including Raul Ibanez’s 20thhomer, a two-run shot in thefifth.

In a statement, Bonds said:“This journal will be one ofmy last entries as a SanFrancisco Giant. Yesterday, Iwas told by the Giants that

they will not be bringing meback for the 2008 season.”

Giants owner PeterMagowan told Bonds of thedecision in person Thursdaynight, said Bonds’ agent, JeffBorris.

The Giants planned a newsconference for 5 p.m. PDTFriday.

The 43-year-old Bondsbroke Hank Aaron’s recordwith his 756th home run onAug. 7.

Bonds has spent the past 15seasons of his 22-year bigleague career with the Giants,

and signed a $15.8 million,one-year contract for this sea-son.

Shadowed by steroid spec-ulation for the past few years,Bonds has hit 28 homers thisseason, raising his career totalto 762. The seven-time NLMVP is batting .279 with 66RBIs.

Bonds has been mostlyhealthy, playing 125 gamesgoing into this weekend. Theleft fielder had 2,935 careerhits before Friday night’sgame against Cincinnati.

Despite Bonds’ personal

achievements, the season hasbeen a disappointing one forthe Giants, who are mireddeep in last place in the NLWest.

“We’ve heard for a longtime that the Giants are an oldteam and want to get younger,so we’re not surprised,”Borris said. “Barry is theiroldest player, but qualitative-ly, he’s their best player.”

“He’s still planning onplaying next year, irrespectiveof whether it’s an AL or NLteam,” he said.

Bonds has long denied

using performance-enhancingdrugs, but fans across thecountry have greeted him withplacards inscribed with aster-isks — baseball-fan shorthandfor the belief that his record ishopelessly tainted by allega-tions of steroid abuse.

Even the person who paid$752,467 for Bonds’ historic756th home run has threat-ened to stamp it with an aster-isk.

VERONA, N.Y. — SteveFlesch shot an 7-under 65Friday to take sole possessionof the lead after two rounds ofthe inaugural Turning StoneResort Championship.

Flesch, who began the dayone shot off the lead, was at13-under 131, one strokeahead of first-round co-leaderJeff Gove (67) and Brendonde Jonge, who carded his sec-ond straight 66. CharlesWarren (65) was alone infourth at 11 under.

Rookie Matt Hendrix, aformer star at Clemson, hadhis second straight 67 and wastied for fifth at 10 under withChris Stroud (65) and CharleyHoffman.

Jeff Maggert (64) wasanother shot back, tied at 135with Jeff Overton (65),Mathew Goggin (69), BrinyBaird (66), Bill Haas (66) andthree others.

Joey Sindelar, from nearbyHorseheads and a two-timewinner of the B.C. Open, andRobert Gamez each shot asecond straight 68 and weretied at 8 under with JohnSenden (70), Tag Ridings(69), Johnson Wagner (67),John Rollins (69), and fourothers.

Chad Campbell, who had ashare of the first-round lead,had an even-par 72 to remainat 7 under.

With conditions again idealon a hazy, humid day withtemperatures in the 80s and aslight breeze, Flesch started atNo. 10 and quickly built onhis opening 66, making fourbirdies and an eagle for arecord 30 on the back side ofthe forgiving 7,482-yardAtunyote Gold Club course,with its wide fairways and

soft, smooth-rolling greens.Flesch hit a 3-wood to

within 14 feet at the 562-yard,par-5 12th hole and madeeagle to reach 9 under, birdiedthe next two holes and sank a15-foot birdie putt at No. 18 totie de Jonge for the lead at 12under.

“If I get that putting going,that’s my strength,” saidFlesch, who has hit 34 of 36greens in regulation. “It reallymakes the game a lot easier.”

The lone blemish was athree-putt bogey from 35 feeton his final hole, which nulli-fied a birdie putt at No. 8.

If not for No. 9, Fleschwould have had a bigger lead.He made double bogey thereon Thursday.

“I’ve just played it poorly,”he said. “My putter let medown. It’s all right. I made somany putts today.”

De Jonge, a 27-year-oldnative of Zimbabwe and a for-mer star at Virginia Tech,began to move up the leader-board with an eagle at the548-yard, par-5 fifth hole, hit-ting 3-wood to the right fringeand sinking a 26-foot putt.That made up for a bogey atNo. 4, and he made fourbirdies on the back side totake the lead until Fleschcame through a couple ofhours later.

“The position that I’ve putmyself in coming into theselast seven events, I have toplay well,” said de Jonge, whohas made only seven cuts in20 events and is far down themoney list. “You know, I’vepretty much got nothing tolose. It’s almost, in essence, aseven-week tour school forme, so I have to play well.”

Gove, who started at the10th hole, finished with fivebirdies on a bogey-free round,tying de Jonge with a 3-foot

birdie putt at the par-4 eighthhole.

“Most of my play today Iwas staying in the moment,playing well, staying positiveand trying to stay aggressivebecause the scores are low,”said Gove, who birdied two ofhis first three holes and thenreeled off eight straight pars.“You’ve got to stay patient.You have to just wait for yournext little run.”

COMMUNITYDIGEST

made the decision long agonot to bring him back for nextseason.

“Although I am disappoint-ed, I’ve always said baseballis a business, and I respecttheir decision,” Bonds said.“However, I am saddened andupset that I was not given anearlier opportunity to properlysay goodbye to you, my fans,

and celebrate with the citythroughout the season as Itruly believe this was not alast-minute decision by theGiants, but one that was madesome time ago.”

Bonds had said he wantedto finish his career in the com-fort of his hometown, wherehis father, Bobby, playedalongside his godfather,Willie Mays.

“I would have loved noth-ing more than to retire as aGiant in the place where I callhome and have shared somany momentous momentswith all of you, but there ismore baseball in me and Iplan on continuing my career.My quest for a World Seriesring continues,” he said.

San Francisco is whereBonds became entangled withfederal prosecutors and withthe Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative, the lab at the centerof the steroids scandal in pro-

fessional sports.The perjury investigation is

focused on whether Bondslied in 2003, when he told thefederal grand jury investigat-ing BALCO that he neverknowingly took performance-enhancing drugs.

Bonds said his personaltrainer told him he was takingflaxseed oil and an arthritisbalm.

His childhood friend andtrainer, Greg Anderson, hasspent nearly a year in prisonfor refusing to testify to the

grand jury investigat-ing Bonds’ alleged per-jury.

On the field, achampionship is aboutthe only thing missingon Bonds’ resume.

He played in his13th All-Star game thissummer, an event heldin his home ballpark.The waterfront stadi-um was constantlysold out as Bondsmoved closer to histo-ry, and his drawingpower certainly playeda role in the Giants re-signing him as a freeagent in the offseason.

Bonds has reachedthe postseason seventimes, and a World

Series title barely eluded himin 2002. The Giants were justfive outs from the title inGame 6 against the AnaheimAngels, but they lost that leadand also got beaten in Game7.

Bonds hit .471 in thoseseven games with four homeruns, and the Angels walkedhim 13 times.

A day after last seasonended, Magowan said thatBonds would no longer be thecenterpiece of the organiza-tion and that the team wouldchange its formula for win-ning.

Bonds then checked out thefree-agent market, and a cou-ple of teams — including St.Louis, Oakland and SanDiego — showed early inter-est. But there seemed to be apervasive feeling aroundbaseball that Bonds wouldultimately rejoin the Giantsand he did.

Steve Flesch takes lead at Turning Stone

By CHARLES HUTZLERAssociated Press Writer

BEIJING — Bickeringbetween rivals China andTaiwan forced Olympic offi-cials to scuttle plans to includeTaiwan in the torch relay fornext year’s Beijing Olympics,with both sides accusing eachother Friday of trying to playpolitics with the event.

After 10 months of squab-bling during which Beijingannounced Taiwan’s partici-pation in the relay only tohave Taipei deny it, theInternational OlympicCommittee notified both sidesThursday that their talks hadreached a dead end. It saidthat the Taipei leg would bedropped.

Recriminations burst intothe open Friday. “China wasnot acting in good faith,”Taiwanese President ChenShui-bian said.

The Beijing Olympic orga-nizing committee accusedTaiwan of setting a “vileprecedent” by refusing to par-ticipate and injecting politicsinto an event that symbolizesOlympic ideals.

“Responsibility for thetorch relay not going to Taipeitotally lies with the Taiwanauthorities for creating politi-cal hurdles, trying to politicizesports and not heeding thewishes of the people ofTaiwan,” Jiang Xiaoyu, vicepresident of the Beijing orga-nizing committee, told

reporters in Beijing.Disagreements over the

route recurred throughout thenegotiations. But in the endJiang and Chen suggested thetalks foundered over Taiwan’sdesire to fly its national flagduring the relay — andBeijing’s insistence that doingso violated long-standing IOCrules governing Taipei’s par-ticipation in Olympic events.

Failure to compromise onthe torch relay underscores thedeep mistrust between Beijingand Taipei, which split 58years ago amid a still unre-solved civil war.

China’s communist gov-ernment has since sought tobolster its claims to the islandby getting other countries todrop diplomatic relations andforce Taipei out of the UnitedNations and other internation-al organizations. In a sign ofBeijing’s influence, Taiwan isallowed to take part in theOlympics on condition it notuse its national flag, seal oranthem at Olympic events,competing as “ChineseTaipei.”

Meanwhile, the democrati-cally governed island underan assertive President Chenhas fought back, trying to for-tify Taiwan’s independent sta-tus and resist Beijing’s claimsof sovereignty.

The collapse of the torchrelay talks dealt a blow to theIOC, which has tried to por-tray the Olympics as a way to

overcome political differencesbetween even the mostintractable of foes.

Jiang, the Beijing Olympiccommittee official, saidTaiwan was still invited tocompete in the Aug. 8-24games, but with Taipei ruledout, the torch would not stopelsewhere in Taiwan. It hasyet to be decided, he said,whether the torch will nowtravel directly from Ho ChiMinh City in Vietnam to HongKong, with the originallyplanned Taipei stop in themiddle removed.

Throughout the negotia-tions, Chen’s government dis-liked Taipei being sandwichedbetween Vietnam andChinese-controlled HongKong, fearing that Beijingwas using it as a way to blurTaiwan’s separate status. InApril, Beijing announced itsgrandiose plans for the relay,including stops on MountEverest as well as Taipei, onlyto have Taiwan immediatelydeny an agreement.

Jiang said the BeijingOlympic committee made itclear that Taipei was among22 cities on the route outsidethe mainland in the plan thatwas approved by the IOC andthat Taipei Olympic officialsagreed to. Jiang suggested thatTaiwan Olympic officials raninto interference from politi-cal leaders who overrode theagreements made withBeijing.

Dear Annie: Jerry and I were co-workersfor several years while we were both marriedto others. I divorced my husband, and Jerry’sbeen separated for three years. At some point,we decided to start dating and have had an on-and- off relationship ever since. We alwayshave a great time together, talk almost everyday on the phone and see each other once ortwice a week.

Jerry said from the start that he didn’t wantour relationship to be exclusive. He thought heowed it to himself to “see what else is outthere,” as he’d been married to the samewoman for 20 years. I begrudgingly acceptedhis terms.

Periodically, Jerry will think we are talkingand seeing each other too much. Of course, thisbreaks my heart because I am in love with him.We’ll stop seeing each other but are usuallycalling again within the week. He tells me he

has feelings for me, but he doesn’t think he’s as“madly in love” as he believes he should be. Sowe end up in this on-again-off-again cycle,content and comfortable for several monthsuntil he steps back.

The last time, I made an effort to date othermen. I’m doing the Internet thing, but withoutmuch success. I really believe Jerry is scared ofanother marital disaster and just needs moretime to figure out what he wants. His divorce isdragging. I want to hang in there but don’twant to be a doormat. Any advice? -- FeelingMy Heart Ripped Out Again in California

Dear California: Jerry is still married and

has let you know he’s not as “in love” as hethinks he ought to be. So when he eventuallyfigures out what he wants, it might not be you.It is foolish to put all your eggs in his wobblybasket. Let Jerry know you are interested inseeing him, but you are both free to date others.Keep looking.

Dear Annie: There is a morbidly obese manin his mid-60s in my neighborhood who is con-stantly outside working in his yard with noshirt on. He’s sweaty and wears mid-lengthshorts so low that his “plumber’s crack” shows.He certainly could wear a bigger bra than I do.How do I go about letting this man know howgross he looks? Evidently his wife is oblivious.-- Arizona

Dear Arizona: Sorry. Unless he’s workingin your yard, you have no say in how he looks,how he dresses and what size bra he ought towear. He may not be pretty, but this is one ofthose things neighbors put up with. If you don’twant to see him, close your blinds.

Dear Annie: This is in response to“Desperate in Texas,” whose husband spendshis paycheck on booze while she ends up pay-ing all the bills, including putting aside gasmoney for his car. I could have written that let-ter 23 years ago.

I have been in the same situation, and

believe me, things will not get better. Therewill be no Christmas, birthday or Mother’s Daycards because he “has no money” to buy thesethings. When both of you go out for a meal,you will be the one paying. If we had done bet-ter with our finances, we could have owned ourown home by now, but because he drank upmost of our assets, our credit is ruined.

Please tell her to take some positive action.If he has no money for gas, let him find anoth-er mode of transportation. If she doesn’t payhis personal bills, he just might smarten up. Hehas to take responsibility for his own actions. Idid not make him do this, and now I findmyself -- Heading for Divorce Court inMontreal

Dear Montreal: Thanks for your words ofexperience. Of course, for “Texas,” there ismore going on than money mismanagement,and we hope she will get some help soon.

DIRECTIONS:

A. Using each "Chaos Grid" number with its letter one time, arrange the numbers with their letters for the "Order Grid" so each vertical column, horizontal row, and two diagonals each ADD to numbers inside thick lined cells.

B. Some correct numbers with their letters have been put into the "Order Grid" to get you started. Also, above the "Order Grid" is a "Decoded Message" clue.

C. After you have solved the "Order Grid" doing as direction "A" says, put the let- ters from horizontal rows, from left to right, under "Decoded Message" and make words to form the answer.

Page 14: Page 6 Sept. 22, 2007 INSIDE The Ukiah Mendocino County’s ...extras.ukiahdailyjournal.com/extras/09_sept_2007/092207_UDJ_lowres.pdfBlackwater USA outside the heavily fortified Green

Susan Susanka, author of“The Not So Big House,”seems to be more cheerleaderthan architectural designer. Itis hard to say at this pointwhether the producers of theconference are visionaries orbandwagon jumpers, but it is abandwagon and they are nowdriving it.

In all honesty I have cometo listen to the old rock stars,the ones who have been work-ing with the same motivationsfor the last 35 years and arefamous now only because aglobal movement has saun-tered up behind them to offercarrying the torch.

Dan Smith, for instance, isan architect out of Berkeley,

who has spearheaded thedesign and code authoring ofstraw-bale building in thestate. Some of his originaldesigns were located inAnderson Valley at theShenoa community in Philo.This project has been the ger-mination for several otherhomes, including valleydwellers Mike and MaureenBowman’s house on the east-ern slopes of the valley.

When I first saw the heartof their house, an entry, living,dining, kitchen area, I wasamazed at the amount of glaz-ing overlooking the westernview of the valley. “The trade-off with the highly insulative,straw-bale more than compen-sates for any loss of tempera-ture to highly efficient glaz-ing,” Mike Bowman assuresme.

Smith, in his talk, allayed

my two fears concerningstraw-bale: moisture invasionand structural integrity.Working with scientific test-ing labs he and his associateshave determined exceptionalload-bearing abilities in aplaster covered straw-baleconfiguration. Still, Californiacode requires a minimal post-and-beam structural compo-nent to mollify the seismiccode requirements in ourearthquake-prone area of theworld. Minimal post-and-beam greatly reduces framingmaterial. As for moisture infil-tration, having the wall func-tioning as the skin to a condi-tioned interior space morethan adequately dispels anybuildup of moisture.

Steve Wood, an associate atRon Verdier Architects, ofBoonville, was one of thebuilders of the Bowman house

and recommended the Smithlecture. Acknowledging mycynicism, Steve recalls aquote from a forgottenphilosopher who advocatedhaving a pessimism of themind while maintaining anoptimism of the will.

Ron Verdier concurs, “Itstarts with modesty. Sayingyou want to build green andthen ask for a 6,000 sq. ft.house. That’s irresponsible.Can you imagine theresources it would take ifeveryone had a house thatsize?” Verdier likewise takesumbrage with magazines thathand out “green” awards tohouses approaching these out-landish proportions.

Cynicism aside, however, itis clear there is no longer aninkling of a viable debate con-cerning the human cost to theozone and that a failure to

change our current manners ofconstruction cannot be sus-tained much past our genera-tion. The conference is at thevery least a confluence ofbright, energized people whounderstand what is at stake.

See Sunday’s edition for a fur-ther discussion and listings of

Web sites of presenters and someof the solutions being offered.

David Ballantine is a design-er/draftsperson and occasionalwriter working in Ukiah. He is inthe planning stages of building anew home in the Anderson Valley,where he resides with his wifeand son.
