Sanitation District
Board members to be elected for first time in 54-year history
By ROB BURGESS
The Daily Journal
If being a part of a board concerned with issues of sewers and
waste treatment doesn’t sound all
that exciting, consider this: you are
guaranteed to make history.
For the first time in its 54-year
history, the Ukiah Valley
Sanitation District board will not
only be elected instead of appointed, but will also be expanded by
two members.
“The Sanitation District has
moved in this direction to allow
for more transparent governance
of the Sanitation District,” said
Jim Wattenburger, the 2nd District
supervisor and the chairman of
both the UVSD and the
Mendocino County Board of
Supervisors. “The board will
allow subcommittees to allow for
examination of budget and projects. It will allow for a closer
democratic process of allowing
citizens to become involved in the
five-member board instead of
already elected officials having
this on their desk also. It will allow
for closer scrutiny on issues.”
Rick Kennedy, general manager, said the current size of the
board has its limitations.
“Currently the board can’t meet
as a committee to discuss things
on preliminary level because there
are only three members and any
less meeting would be a violation
of the Brown Act,” he said. “I
think it’s important for people to
get involved and have their voice
heard especially around budget
time. The cost of doing business is
going up.”
Doug Crane, a board member
and Ukiah mayor, said there were
other advantages to expanding the
board and opening it to members
of the public within the district.
“There are substantial portions
of the Ukiah Valley Sewer District
inside the city of Ukiah,” he said.
“One of the aims of having a fivemember elected UVSD board is to
provide continuity through the
election cycle. Another is to have
all of the board members be residents of the district. Over the years
it has been common to have few or
no residents of the district on the
board, with some being from other
cities or other areas of the county.”
Michael Delbar, 1st District
supervisor and a board member,
said the UVSD deserved the undivided attention of the new crop of
elected officials.
“It’s one of many hats that we
wear,” he said. “It’s difficult to put
a focus into it that it needs. It
needs a board that’s a single issue
board. Because it’s a three-member board, none of us could talk to
each other. When it comes down to
committees it makes it difficult to
get committees together. The folks
that will run and be elected will
have a sole purpose and focus.”
Candidates must live in the district and be registered voters.
“You do not have to be hooked
up to the sewer (to run),” stated a
portion of a release issued on the
openings.
The deadline to file completed
candidacy forms with the county
clerk is 5 p.m. Aug. 8. There are no

State workers lose jobs amid budget crisis
By DON THOMPSON
Associated Press Writer
SACRAMENTO
—
Thousands of state workers
were told to stay home Friday
under an order by Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger aimed at cutting expenses for California’s
cash-strapped government,
but a lawsuit filed by a union
claims the governor is overstepping his authority.
Schwarzenegger’s order,
signed Thursday as he struggled with a budget stalemate,
eliminated 10,300 seasonal,
contract and part-time positions. It also ordered that up to
200,000 permanent, full-time
state workers will receive the
federal minimum wage of
$6.55 an hour in their paychecks until the budget is
passed. They would then be
reimbursed.
The lawsuit by the Service
Employees
International
Union — California’s largest
state-employee union — said
laying off workers without
notice violates the state
Constitution and numerous
laws, including those governing seniority.
Schwarzenegger cannot
decide
such
sweeping
employment actions by “executive fiat,” according to the
lawsuit filed in Sacramento
County Superior Court.
“The governor did an end
run around the labor process
and the government code,”
union attorney Paul Harris
said.
The SEIU and another
union representing state attorneys also filed unfair labor
practices allegations saying
the administration is trying to
illegally influence ongoing
contract talks.
The governor’s biggest
headache, however, is coming
from another state elected
official, state Controller John
Chiang. His office cuts the
paychecks for state employees
and is refusing to comply with
the part of Schwarzenegger’s
order related to wages, which
would save the state far more
money than the layoffs.
Schwarzenegger spokesman Aaron McLear said the
governor will do whatever is
necessary to make sure the
state can pay its bills.
“The state Constitution and
a Supreme Court decision
clearly support the governor’s
action,” he said. “He is prepared to defend this in court if
necessary to protect the state’s
ability to meet its obligations.”
Schwarzenegger said his
order was needed to avoid a
financial crisis until the state
passes a budget. Democratic
and Republican lawmakers
are divided on how to deal
with a $15.2 billion deficit for
the fiscal year that began a
month ago.
To solve the crisis,
Democratic lawmakers want
to raise taxes on corporations
and the wealthy by about $8.2
billion, while Republicans are
pushing for long-term reforms
that include a spending cap
and a rainy-day fund.
Schwarzenegger’s order for
layoffs covers retired state
employees who work under
contract, temporary and parttime
workers,
seasonal
employees and student assistants. Many in those categories may be exempted if
they are deemed crucial to
public safety, but officials said
10,300 would receive pink
slips immediately.
“Now I can’t pay my mortgage. I can’t pay anything —
lights, gas, food,” said Celeste
Knox, a mother of two who
made $15.98 an hour as a temporary office assistant with
the Department of Consumer
Affairs. “I’ve just been crying
and trying to find a way to
make it work. So far I haven’t
found one.”
The administration estimates the layoffs and suspending overtime will save
the state as much as $80 million a month, and that the
deferred wages would save
$300 million to $1 billion a
month. The administration
gave state agencies until
Friday to compile lists show-
ing how many of their
employees were crucial to
public safety and should be
exempted from layoffs or the
minimum-wage order.
Schwarzenegger’s administration may have to sue the
state controller’s office to
force it to comply with the
part of the order paying
employees minimum wage.
The governor and the controller are clashing over a
2003 state Supreme Court ruling allowing the state to pay
workers the federal minimum
wage during a budget
impasse.
Schwarzenegger
cited the ruling in his executive order, but Chiang interprets it differently, saying it’s
his job to decide how much to
pay employees.
“The controller will continue to pay full salaries,” said
Hallye Jordan, a spokeswoman for the controller’s
office.
She said even if Chiang felt
the order was legal, it would
take months to reprogram the
office’s outdated computer
systems to handle the acrossthe board pay cut. “This is a
system that’s over 25 years
old,” Jordan said.
Schwarzenegger insisted
that his action was designed to
avoid a fiscal crisis as the state
remains without an approved
spending plan. But it also was
hoped to pressure state legislative leaders into brokering
a budget deal.
California is the only state
with a fiscal year beginning
July 1 that remains without a
budget.
Legislative leaders were
not meeting to discuss the
budget on Friday, but the governor’s
office
said
Schwarzenegger knows they
are working to get it done as
quickly
as
possible.
Schwarzenegger’s schedule
said he was holding private
meetings in Los Angeles.
“I think the leaders share
the governor’s sense of
urgency in getting a budget as
soon as possible,” McLear
said.
Wage fallout in state’s tough economy
Associated Press
Employees reacted to an executive order
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed
Thursday, laying off more than 10,000 temporary, part-time and contract employees
and temporarily paying as many as 200,000
state employees the federal minimum wage
of $6.55 an hour until an agreement on the
overdue state budget is reached. Unions
challenged his authority to do that in filings
filed Friday.
———
Celeste Knox, 39, made $15.98 an hour
in her position as a temporary office assistant with the Department of Consumer
Affairs.
The single mother of two completed the
purchase of a $167,500 three-bedroom
home Wednesday morning, then learned just
hours later that she would be laid off.
“Now I can’t pay my mortgage. I can’t
pay anything — lights, gas, food. So I guess
I’m going on a diet,” Knox said. “I haven’t
slept, I haven’t ate. I’ve just been crying and
trying to find a way to make it work. So far
I haven’t found one.”
She blamed state lawmakers, rather than
Schwarzenegger, for failing to pass a budget
on time.
“I expected our Legislature to do what we
elected our Legislature to do,” she said. “I
feel like I was left out in the cold. It’s a hor-
rible mess.”
———
Dhia Woodruff, 21, had been earning
$12.78 an hour working 40 hours a week in
the mailroom of the Office of State
Publishing before she was laid off Thursday.
“They just said don’t come to work
tomorrow,” Woodruff said.
She was not optimistic about her chances
of getting another job soon, and worried
about making her car payments and paying
rent to her mother, a state employee now
facing the prospect of earning $6.55 an hour.
“I’m counting on a little bit of unemployment and trying to find a part-time job.
Since there’s so many people out trying to
find jobs, I don’t know...”
———
Mark Swabey, 53, a full-time CalTrans
worker who would be subjected to the wage
rollback, said he was most worried about the
employees who were laid off.
“That’s despicable. It’s outrageous. He
had no reason to lay off, as a group, some of
our lowest paid workers. They’re not making much anyway, and now they’re making
nothing,” Swabey said.
He said Schwarzenegger’s order to pay
hundreds of thousands of state employees
$6.55 an hour could affect the entire state
See REACTION, Page 14
State agencies affected by
Schwarzenegger’s order
Associated Press
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s executive order seeks to roll
back wages of as many as 200,000 state employees and lay off
more than 10,000 of the state’s 22,000 temporary, contract and
part-time workers.
Schwarzenegger does not, however, have direct authority
over the employees of several government agencies. Those
include the California Public Utilities Commission, state university and college systems and agencies headed by elected constitutional officers.
In addition to the governor, the constitutional offices are the
lieutenant governor, secretary of state, attorney general, treasurer, controller, insurance commissioner and school superintendent.
The governor asked department heads to report to him by
Friday with lists of employees they believe should be exempt
from the executive order for critical health and safety reasons.
Here is a look at the response from some state agencies:
CORRECTIONS:
In a letter to the governor’s office on Friday, J. Clark Kelso,
the federal receiver appointed to oversee prison health care, said
he was exempting nearly all corrections department employees
— 60,000 of the department’s 66,000 workers — citing “the
preservation and protection of human life and safety, as well as
the efficacy of numerous federal court orders.”
“Thus, all correctional, medical, mental health, dental and
executive and administrative staff with responsibility for adult
institutions, and all related functions, shall be exempt from the
order,” Kelso wrote.
It was unclear whether he has the authority to do that. Kelso
was appointed to oversee prison health care, not all prison operations. A spokesman for the receiver, Richard Stapler, said
Kelso determined that nearly all corrections employees who
work with adult prisons could affect inmate health care.
Schwarzenegger’s office sent a letter to Kelso Friday afternoon telling him he did not have such authority.
Kelso said he wouldn’t back down but pledged to work with
Corrections Secretary Matt Cate to implement cost-saving measures.
About 6,000 parole and juvenile justice employees would be
subject to the minimum wage provision under either interpretation.
DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES:
About 700 of the department’s 9,000 employees were laid off
immediately and officials were taking steps to try to avoid disruptions as much as possible, DMV Director George Valverde
said.
The agency also was assessing how many of the remaining
8,300 employees should be exempt from the wage rollback.
However, some offices saw an immediate effect, partly because
of the simultaneous ban on overtime.
Spokeswoman Jan Mendoza said managers were advising
staff to cut off walk-in clients if large crowds developed in the
afternoon “so they can get all employees clocked out by 5
o’clock.”
The agency was advising customers that many of its services
are available online. For those that are not, customers are
advised to book an appointment to avoid long wait times,
Valverde said.
“We are facing a cash crisis, and this is an important part of
the governor trying to manage what our cash needs are,”
Valverde said.
EDUCATION:
State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O’Connell, a
statewide elected official, said he had no intention of asking any
of his department’s 2,500 employees to take a pay cut and
would not lay off anyone.
“The California Department of Education will be taking steps
in the coming days to implement our own cost-reduction measures, as appropriate. However, I do not support the governor’s
order to reduce state employees’ pay,” O’Connell said in a news
release.
“All CDE employees are valued and important assets of this
organization, and we all deserve to continue to work and be
paid.”
TREASURER:
State Treasurer Bill Lockyer also had no plans to comply
with any part of the governor’s request for his 237 employees.
“The treasurer believes that the executive order is bad policy,
legally dubious and will have minimal, if any, effect on budget
negotiations. In the meantime, it punishes innocent people,”
said Tom Dresslar, a spokesman for Lockyer.
RESOURCES:
Resources Secretary Mike Chrisman said he could not provide figures about how many staffers were laid off or how many
might be subject to the minimum wage provisions. He said it
would take several days to compile a list, despite the governor’s
order to agencies to report by Friday on any exemptions.
He said most of the state’s fire workers would be exempt,
although he did not know how many such employees there are.
Schwarzenegger spokeswoman Lisa Page said the state has
7,000 firefighters on the payroll.
Also, workers at the entrances to state parks and other temporary and seasonal workers directly involved in generating revenue would be exempt, Chrisman said.

WASHINGTON (AP) —
Anthrax-laced letters that
killed five people and severely rattled the post-9/11 nation
may have been part of an
Army scientist’s warped plan
to test his cure for the deadly
toxin, officials said Friday.
The brilliant but troubled scientist committed suicide this
week, knowing prosecutors
were closing in.
The sudden naming of scientist Bruce E. Ivins as the
top — and perhaps only —
suspect in the anthrax attacks
marks the latest bizarre twist
in a case that has confounded
the FBI for nearly seven
years. Last month, the Justice
Department cleared Ivins’
colleague, Steven Hatfill,
who had been wrongly suspected in the case, and paid
him $5.8 million.
Ivins worked at the Army’s
biological warfare labs at Fort
Detrick, Md., for 18 years
until his death on Tuesday. He
was one of the government’s
leading scientists researching
vaccines and cures for
anthrax exposure. But he also

Well-known throughout
the area for her work on staff
with an international organization, this local Ukiahan is
one of the mission study
leaders for “Outrigger Island:
Living God’s Unshakeable
Truth.” Three Ukiah churches
have collaborated to bring a
week of nonstop action for
children age 4 through sixth
grade -- free and open to
everyone.
Hosted by New Life
Preschool of First Baptist
Church, this free morning
Vacation Bible School day
camp is Aug. 4-8, from 8:30
a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
(snack/lunch provided).
Two local missionaries are
featured teachers for the mission study rotation: Jena
Glasscock and Kathy

Glasscock has served on staff
with Campus Crusade for
Christ. She has served for 19
years overseas in the Middle

live God’s unshakeable truth.
Explore five Bible truths
“God is real; Jesus is God’s
Son; Jesus is the only way;
the Bible is God’s Word; and
my actions show what I
believe.” By the end of the
week students will have
learned what it means to
know, speak, and live the
truth.
In this one-week adventure, children will hear Bible

About Youth for Christ -Since 1944, Youth for Christ
has had a distinctive history
of youth evangelism. In the
early 1940s, during World
War II, many young men,
mostly ministers and evangelists, were holding large rallies in Canada, England and
the United States.
As the hunger for God’s
Word grew it became evident
that there needed to be someone to coordinate this movement, providing leadership,
strategy, and coordinating
speakers, musicians and locations. Beginning in dozens of
cities at the end of World War
II, YFC quickly organized
into a national movement.
Billy Graham became YFC’s
first full-time staff member.
Starting with Saturday
night youth rallies in the late
1940s and early 1950s,
YFC’s ministry methodology
turned to Bible Clubs in the
late ‘50s and ‘60s. It was in
this period of ministry hat the
concept of teen to teen evangelism was birthed. Then in
the middle ‘60s and early
‘70s Campus Life and
Campus Life/JV ministries to
senior and junior high youth
began to be the thrust of YFC
ministry. Since that time there
have been several ministry
models that have been created.
Youth Guidance became
an avenue in reaching at-risk
and institutionalized young
people. Teen Moms developed to mentor and equip
young mothers with parenting
skills as well as the love of
Jesus Christ. Urban
Ministries reach the millions
of young people in our major
urban communities, partnering with the church and other
organizations. Ministries are
tailored to reach youth in
urban, suburban, and rural
settings.
In addition, the YFC sponsored DCLA Student
Evangelism Super
Conferences have challenged
and equipped thousands of
young people from hundreds
of youth groups to effectively
impact their schools for
Christ.
YFC/USA is a chartered
program of Youth for Christ
International. Over 1500 paid
staff members and 15,000
volunteers serve in over 100
countries around the world.
As a part of the YFC/USA
commitment to serve the
world, Project Serve provides
overseas short-term mission
opportunities. In addition,
well over 100 YFC staff
members from the U.S. have
ministry assignments with
YFC programs in other
nations as part of YFC/USA’s
World Outreach Division.
Throughout YFC’s history
there has been an unwavering
commitment to youth evangelism and biblical Christianity.
One of YFC’s slogans overt
he past fifty years has been
“Anchored to the Rock,
Geared to the Times”-- the
message of the gospel will
never change and YFC is
flexible to creatively communicate this message of hope,
grace and love in the context
of different cultural settings.

Obama, China,
and the Olympics
As America and the rest of the world watch
the Summer Olympics in Beijing, there will be
expensive commercial messages from a record
63 sponsors or partners of these Games that the
communist dictatorship hopes will help fulfill its
dream of glorifying its global image. One of the
products being sold will be Barack Obama -- $5
million worth of vote-seeking on NBC and the
company’s cable channels.
During the senator’s appearance in Berlin,
where the huge crowd acclaimed him as if he had
already moved into the White House, Obama
briefly mentioned the continuing deaths and desolation in Darfur. I’ll be surprised if that deadly
subject comes up during Obama’s ads for himself between the sporting events in Beijing -even though China is one of the chief arms suppliers of Sudan’s genocide in Darfur. The other
advertisers might consider such a reminder to be
in poor taste.
The Obama presidential campaign (as reported in The New York Times, July 24) bought airtime in 24 states during the Super Bowl but he’s
now taking his message to the country, from sea
to shining sea, as China celebrates itself in its
competition for the Gold Medal of superpowerdom.
I’m certain that, as you watch the Games, you
won’t hear a word about how China, as an arms
supplier for Sudan Gen. Omar al-Bashir’s armed
forces and monstrous Janjaweed, has been violating a 2005 U.N. Security Council resolution
imposing an embargo on any nation supplying
arms to any side in the murderous conflict in
Darfur.
Since China is a permanent member of the
Security Council, its defiance of this embargo
has yet to appear on the council’s agenda. But
during commercial breaks in the Games, you
might find it intriguing that, as the highest-ranking members of China’s politburo glow before
the cameras, no one will be mentioning that there
is a mountain of evidence that this dictatorship is
also a continuing, active violator of Article 3 of
the 1948 Geneva Convention that cites the crime
of “complicity in genocide.”
“What evidence?” you might ask. In the July
17 New York Times, columnist Nicholas Kristof,
who has spent more time amid the constantly
endangered survivors of the genocide in Darfur
than any other journalist, reports:
“According to United Nations data, 88 percent of Sudan’s imported small arms come from
China -- and those Chinese sales of small arms
increased 137-fold between 2001 and 2006.
China has also sold military aircraft to Sudan,
and the BBC reported this week that two
Chinese-made A-5 Fantan fighter aircraft were
spotted on a DARFUR runway last month. The
BBC also said that China is training Sudanese
military pilots in Sudan.”
If this isn’t “complicity in genocide” under
Article III of the Geneva Convention, then the
meaning of that plain language has been lost in
translation.
Of course, unlike Sudan’s Gen. al-Bashir,
China’s president, Hu Jintao, has no present fear
of being a person of criminal concern to Luis
Moreno-Ocampo, chief prosecutor of the
International Criminal Court, who has formally
asked that Court to issue an arrest warrant for Hu
Jintao’s partner in arms and oil, al-Bashir, the
president of Sudan, on three counts of genocide,
among other world-class crimes.
However, after the Olympics, President Hu
Jintao -- so intent on presenting China to the
world as an increasingly bountiful opportunity
for free marketers and as the inevitable replacement for the United States as the most powerful
presence on the planet -- might reflect on the following cautionary advice from the director of
Human Rights First’s Crimes Against Humanity
program, Betsy Apple, that is also being emphasized by other human rights organizations:
“The naming of Bashir as a suspect has dramatically altered the whole landscape of legal
liability, considerably raising the stakes for those
countries that continue to provide weapons to
Sudan ... (and) face the stark decision whether
they want to continue to provide the arms to a
man who is facing indictment for genocide and
thus put themselves at risk of violating the
Genocide Convention.”
She notes that, in the recent case of Bosnia v.
Serbia, The International Court of Justice elected
by the U.N. Assembly and Security Council
ruled “that if a country learns that there is a serious risk of genocide, and it subsequently “fail(s)
to take all measures to prevent genocides which
were within its power, and which might have
contributed to preventing the genocide, it may be
held legally liable for this failure under the 1949
Genocide Convention.”
So, since President Hu Jintao is a prudent
man, wouldn’t it be wise, for public-relations
purposes, to put emphatic pressure on his notorious ally, Gen. al-Bashir, to take real-time action
to end his genocide in Darfur, disarm the
Janjaweed and admit the entire African UnionU.N. peacekeeping force?
Hu Jintao, having then been responsible for
stopping the mass murders and rapes in Darfur
when no one else could, would bring really
resounding credit to China, and would himself be
free of pursuit by the chief prosecutor of the
International Criminal Court.
Why hesitate, sir?

Letters from our readers
Thank you
To the Editor:
I would like to take this opportunity
to thank the firefighters who have been
so vigorously helping our community.
I’ve also appreciated the city/county
residents who have welcomed and honored the fire personnel.
My brother-in-law was tragically
killed fighting in the 2002 Colorado
fires near the community of Valleirto
Lake.
The town honored him, and all the
fire fighters in their midst, and I always
hoped and prayed that Ukiah would do
the same, if the need ever arose. It has
been wonderful to see people thanking
fire personnel, and the signs posted all
over the county are so heartwarming.
When wildland firefighters are killed or
hurt, the Wildland Firefighter
Foundation, based in Boise, Idaho,
Steps in to help the families. My sister
and her family were recipients of this
organization’s generosity. The foundation is always in need of donations to
help the families of fallen firefighters. It
is a wonderful way to feel you are giving back to these brave men and
women.

More than meets the eye
To the Editor:
As long as Mike Peterson, in his letter
of July 14, says he’s gonna keep protesting against illegal immigration, there are
a couple of things I think he should
know.
That fence George W. Bush brags
about building has a few quirks nobody
in this administration wants to talk about.
Number one, (of many) is the part
being built through the backyards of low
and modest income families in
Brownsville, Texas. That construction
magically stops at the property line of
River Bend Resort, a fancy golf course.
Then there’s another big gap for
Sharyland Plantation... a 6,000 acre
development of million dollar homes
and, of course, a golf course.
Sharyland is financed by Ray Hunt,
big oil man from Dallas. Oh yes, I almost
forgot. Mr. Hunt is a pal of President
Bush and has donated $35 million to
Bush’s presidential library.
So you see, Mr. Peterson, there’s more
than meets the eye when it comes to truly
keeping illegals out. Mustn’t ruffle the
administration or its friends, the big
money people.

Don’t use ‘manning’
To the Editor:
I am writing now about something
that appeared on your front page several
weeks ago, in regard to people and
agencies helping out in the effort to
fight the fires. I did not have time then,
but since this is an issue that recurs regularly in life, it is not too late to address
it now.
The front page title of a story, in
large bold print, was County Employees
Man the Phones, and the picture was of
a woman on the phone.
Anyone who has worked on a political campaign or in advertising knows
that language has a large effect on people’s unconscious beliefs and attitudes.
Language is powerful, and your business depends on the accurate use of language.
Using the term “manning” when
women do something along with or
instead of men, implies, even when we
know that is not so, that either women
are horning in on an area that is not
truly theirs, or they are helping out the
men, as sort of a women’s auxiliary.
I would like to suggest that our newspaper, in the interested of truth and clarity, as well of members of our general
population, try to develop the habit of
using the term “staffing” instead of
“manning” when referring to carrying
out a task or filling a position that can
be done by either men or women.

The confluence of events was striking: On the same
early summer day that the U.S. Senate’s powerful
appropriations committee killed a bill allowing farmers to legally import badly needed foreign workers,
President Bush’s labor secretary issued new regulations making it easier for every other kind of employer to do exactly that.
It was almost as if the Washington establishment
was saying few in high places care how many crops
rot on trees and vines for lack of people to pick them,
while they do care about the well-being of building
contractors, tree nurseries and restaurants. Or, to paraphrase a famous New York Daily News headline of
the 1970s: “Feds to California Farmers: Drop Dead”
And make no mistake about it, California farmers
badly need more foreign labor. Large quantities of
peaches, almonds, apricots, artichokes and many other
crops grown in all parts of this state went unharvested
last year, resulting in higher food prices all over
America. This was long before the ethanol-enhanced
food price hikes of the last six months.
To prevent crops from going to waste again this
year, California’s Democratic U.S. Sen. Dianne
Feinstein forged an unusual across-the-aisle alliance
with scandal-ridden Idaho Republican Sen. Larry
Craig to push an ambitious agricultural workers plan
that would have given temporary legal status to 1.35
million illegal immigrant farm workers and their
immediate families. The rotting-on-the-vine problem
is just as severe in Idaho, where apples and potatoes
were among partially wasted crops last year
The Feinstein-Craig bill would have let farmers
hire temporary workers without fear of raids and fines
by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement
agents. It would have relieved farm workers of worrying about deportation and looking over their shoulders
as they worked.
And it would have given illegal immigrant farm
workers temporary legal status for five years if they’re
already here, thus allowing farmers some work force
stability, as they could expect the same people to work
their fields and orchards several years in a row.
Critics instantly labeled this an amnesty bill, even
though it gave illegal immigrants no new rights except
the right to accept jobs if no American citizen workers
had applied for them. There was no path to eventual
citizenship and no green card. The plan even included
fines and background checks for temporarily-legalized guest workers.
Essentially, it would have placed farmers and their
immigrant workers on much the same footing as
employers who hire the 66,000 H-2B workers allowed
in on temporary visas to help fill vacant jobs at other
kinds of businesses. At the very same time the Senate
dumped the provision to help farmers, Labor
Secretary Elaine Chao was eliminating many paperwork delays for other types of importers of unskilled
workers. And with H-2B visas, there’s no requirement
that Americans be given first preference.
It’s much the same with H-1B visas intended for
highly skilled workers. In that category, Bush administration policy specifically grants employers permission to import foreign workers even when qualified
U.S. citizens are available.
The Feinstein-Craig guest worker bill didn’t lose by
much in the appropriations committee, where it died
on a parliamentary maneuver, in large part because it
got no support from Bush and his aides.
All this means it would be a mistake if Feinstein
and Craig allow their measure to die without more of
a fight. In their first attempt, they tried to attach it to
an Iraq war financing bill. Having lost in that effort,
they should try to attach it to another bill of a different
sort, perhaps one headed for a different committee
where it might receive a more hospitable reception.
For giving farmers the ability to hire all the workers they need is vital not just to them and the workers,
but also for consumers. After their labor woes of last
summer, some farmers switched from fruits and vegetables to less labor-intensive crops like grain and
corn this year. That has already reduced the amount of
crops available to canners this year and will likely
drive up the priced of canned fruits and vegetables
next winter.
Who needs that happening at the same time that the
prices of gasoline, milk and other essentials are also
sky high and climbing?
No, this plan by itself would not solve the nation’s
immigration woes. But it would solve a major problem of California farmers will little pain for anyone
else at the same time it helps consumers.
And it would put farmers on a more level footing
with other employers of immigrant workers, something they certainly deserve, even if many people in
Washington don’t appear to agree.

COMMUNITY SPORTS | FETZER VINEYARDS FUNDRAISER
Golfing for a cause
By ANTHONY DION
The Daily Journal
On Friday morning, Fetzer Vineyards
teamed with the Ukiah Boys and Girls
Club to host a golf tournament fundraiser at the Ukiah Municipal Golf Course.
All kinds of different sponsors from
Thurston Motors to Savings Bank
turned out with their own four-somes to
take part in the tournament and bar-bque lunch that followed, not to mention
dozens of individuals without any corporate affiliation.
The golf tournament was a tremendous success for all those who took part
and of course the group that benefitted
the most -- the Boys and Girls Club of
Ukiah.
The goal of the event was to provide
funds for the growing chapter as it
enters its fall registration period. The
Club expects around 150 members and
uses fundraisers like Friday’s tournament to help provide the activities, supplies and other materials for the kids.
When the day was over, the team
from Savings Bank emerged as the first
place winners in the Tournament. The
team consisted of Charles Mannon,
Floyd Ross, Erin Powis and Brady
Wildberger.
Second place went to team Belli
which was made up of Joe Belli, Todd
DiCello, Scott Silveria and Randy
Lownes.
There was no word yet as of Friday
evening on how much the Tournament
raised for the Boys and Girls Club.

MENDOCINO | FOOTBALL CAMP
Position battles rage on as summer camp continues for Eagles
By ANTHONY DION
The Daily Journal
The Mendocino Eagles
football team has been hitting
each other for a good solid
three weeks now while in the
midst of summer camp and
Head Coach Tom Gang couldn’t be happier with how his
2008 team is taking shape.
“Things have been going
really good,” said Gang.
“We’re way ahead of where
we’ve ever been right now.”
Entering camp, the Eagles
had questions at a few key
positions including wide
receiver, running back and
linebacker. The team graduated four of their top five
receivers as well as their leading rusher from a season ago
in Kevin Young but with the
emergence of several incoming freshmen and transfers,
those question marks have
been erased.
In 2007, the Mendocino
passing game accounted for
2,911 yards and 33 touchdowns, two-thirds of the
team’s total offense. The new
receivers will have to make up
for a passing game that loses
all but about 200 yards of that
INSIDE:
production.
The Eagles believe that
Shamichael Rivers and company will more than be able to
pick up that slack.
Among the early stars at
camp is another WR in Rafael
Valencia, a transfer player out
of Series who Coach Gang
says has really shown some
great leadership among the
other players at the position as
well as playmaking ability.
Also, defensive back Darrell
McBride (Sacramento) has
been “showing flashes of
greatness” and certainly will
help solidify the Eagles’ secondary.
Meanwhile both Marcus
Cooley and Nick Henry continue to battle it out for the
starting job at the tailback
position. It might not matter
who wins the battle and earns
the right to start in the end,
however, as both likely will
see plenty of playing time as
the Eagles like the way the
two backs complement each
other.
With three weeks of camp
under their belt, the Eagles
seem to be well on their way
to another successful season
on the heels of last year’s conference title and playoff run.
Team MVP and quarterback, Jake Laudenslayer, has
been looking sharp in camp as
well and another positive for
Mendocino has been the
emergence of a capable backup.
The offense has slowly
been coming together around
Laudenslayer as well and the
Eagles hope they won’t have
to endure any growing pains
to start the season as all the
new players get accustomed
to each other.
After all, that is what summer and fall camps are for.
The Eagles have one more
week remaining of summer
camp which will last until
August 8th. After that, players
have a week off before fall
semester classes begin and all
90 or so players report for fall
camp including six or seven
highly anticipated recruits.
The new season begins on
September 6th as Mendocino
travels to Hartnell College
with their eyes set on another
playoff run.

SANTA CLARA — Alex
Smith suited up to watch practice Friday. While Shaun Hill
and J.T. O’Sullivan led the
49ers through a workout, the
former No. 1 draft selection
did a few drills and then stood
off to the side, still not sure
what role he’ll play when the
snaps count.
Yet after three losing seasons, 30 starts and one embarrassingly public blowout with
coach Mike Nolan, Smith
claims he’s content to wait his
turn while the 49ers’ staff
sorts out its unusual three-man
quarterback competition.
After seven days of heavy
throwing in camp, Smith actually was grateful for a chance
to rest his surgically repaired
right shoulder. Though Hill
and O’Sullivan got all the
action Friday, Smith says he’s
getting plenty of chances
under Mike Martz, the fourth
offensive coordinator of his
career.
“It’s a ton of fun,” Smith
said. “I don’t know why any
quarterback wouldn’t want to
be a part of this. (I’m) much
more comfortable now than
the first few days, that’s for
sure. ... This is the most
throwing we’ll do at any time.
To blow it out in the first few
weeks would be dumb. When
your pitch count is that high,
it’s time for a day off.”
Smith, Hill and O’Sullivan
all have an opportunity to win
the starting job, Nolan pro-
claimed earlier in the summer.
He said it again Thursday
when he justified his decision
to rest Hill’s weary arm by
putting O’Sullivan to work
with the first-stringers, even
though Smith and Hill had
taken every practice snap to
that point in what logically
seemed to be a two-man duel.
“For me, it’s no different,”
Smith said. “I’m still going to
try to take advantage of the
reps I get out there.
Obviously, there will be a difference with three guys
instead of two, as far as the
numbers go. Other than that,
whether you’re competing
against one or two guys, that
really doesn’t change my
mind-set.”
Many NFL teams might
consider the Niners’ threeman competition to be an
unconventional arrangement.
Most coaches prefer to give
their top two quarterbacks
most of the practice time, particularly with a new offensive
coordinator during the important installation days of training camp.
But Nolan never has been
one to bow to convention, particularly in the treatment of
his quarterbacks.
“That was in the plan all
along, as far as how to get
these guys some rest,” Nolan
said. “Naturally, it’s his turn
now. I am confident that we
have three quarterbacks we
can win with. I feel very good
about that, but the competition
obviously is still going on.”
NFL | RAIDERS
Burgess gets work on both
ends of Raiders line
By JOSH DUBOW
Associated Press
NAPA — Derrick Burgess
has had plenty of success in
Oakland lining up as a pass
rusher at left defensive end
and pressuring the quarterback.
While most elite pass rushers prefer playing on the other
side of the line in order to be
on a right-handed quarterback’s blind side, Burgess has
always felt more at home on
the left side even if it means
he often has to deal with a
tight end and a tackle blocking him.
After talking it over with
defensive coordinator Rob
Ryan in the offseason,
Burgess is now going to move
around a bit more this season.
“We’ll see how it works
out,” Burgess said. “I’m still
going to be on the left side
and play both ways. We just
hope that it will single up me
a little more and open up our
rush lanes a little more.”
Burgess admits he was
“stubborn” about making the
switch in the past but had a
change of heart after getting
only eight sacks in 14 games
last season.
He rarely got the chance to
go one-on-one against an
offensive lineman a year ago,
with teams often lining up the
tight end on that side or using
a running back to help block
him.
Even so, he still spent plenty of time in the opposing
team’s backfield. According
to Stats LLC, Burgess led the
NFL last season with 18 quarterback hurries. He also
knocked down the opposing
quarterback 13 times, meaning he was getting plenty of
pressure despite a lower sack
total.
But the Raiders want him
to get sacks, not just pressures, this season. So the plan
is for him to line up on the
weak side of the field without
the tight end to get more
opportunities.
“You’ve seen Derrick out
there on both sides,” coach
Lane Kiffin said. “We’re
looking at a number of different things. We’ll have him on
the open edge, keep him away
from tight ends and be able to
rush the passer more and play
on the split end side.”
Burgess had 16 sacks his
first season in Oakland and 11
the following season, making
the Pro Bowl each time.
Fellow defensive end Jay
Richardson, who will flip to
his more natural left side
when Burgess takes his place,
believes Burgess can be even
more dominant in this defense
than he has been in the past.
“That will make the difference in the football game,”
Richardson said. “You look at
last year, teams slid protections to him, doubled-teamed
him, chipped him with backs
and he still got eight. If he can
get out there on the island like
he does and I’ll take care of
the rest of the garbage over
there on the left side, he can
do whatever he does and he
does it good.”
Even when he was playing
on the left side, Burgess
would spend some time each
offseason working on his
technique on the right side
just in case he needed to move
during the season.
He says he doesn’t believe
the switch will be too difficult
to master even if he will feel
quite as natural on the other
side of the field.
“It’s just about getting your
steps down,” he said. “It’s like
writing with the other hand,
like writing with my left hand.
It takes practice. You can do
all right at it. You won’t be the
best at it but you’ll be all right
at it.”
Burgess is even dropping
back into coverage at times as
a stand-up linebacker, chasing
receivers in drills some 30
yards down field in coverage
in some practice drills.
“That makes me tired
man,” he said. “No, it’s cool.
The only thing different about
that is it’s all these different
sets and everything. But it’s
cool. It’s nothing. I’m an athlete.”
Smith and Nolan had a
lengthy public disagreement
about the state of Smith’s arm
last season, with Smith eventually going public with worries about his own health even
while Nolan insisted nothing
was wrong with his quarterback. The two clashed again
later in the year when Smith
lashed out about Nolan’s locker-room disparagement of his
toughness.
Those wounds seem healed
now, partly because both men
realize they could be gone
next year if they can’t end San
Francisco’s string of five consecutive losing seasons. When
Martz was hired to revive
what was the NFL’s worst
offense in both 2005 and
2007, Smith and Nolan both
embraced the chance for a
fresh start.
Martz hasn’t passed much
of a public judgment on any of
his new quarterbacks, but
Smith clearly is eager for the
chance to play for a proven
offensive coach. Smith, a
flailing rookie in 2005, had his
only respectable NFL season
in 2006 under Norv Turner
before struggling last year
with rookie coordinator Jim
Hostler, who was fired.
Smith spends several hours
most days in film study, picking up nuances of Martz’s
schemes. He thinks the practice schedules and the heavy
throwing workouts are part of
an overall test by Martz, who
wants to see how his quarterbacks handle an avalanche of

Orleans defensive line in a game last season.
new information.
“What you realize about
this offense is it’s constantly
evolving,” Smith said. “We’re
always putting new things in,
looking to change things and
getting better and better.
There’s so much detail that
goes into this, and I’m just
getting more and more of it.”
NFL | CHARGERS
Derek Smith ready to fill in during
Cooper’s suspension
SAN DIEGO (AP) —
Perhaps not well-known right
now, Derek Smith should be
to San Diego Chargers fans
during the first month of the
season.
The 12-year pro will be in
the starting lineup for the first
four games in place of inside
linebacker Stephen Cooper,
who will begin serving his
four-game suspension for violating the NFL’s substance
abuse policy with the opener
on Sept. 7 against the Carolina
Panthers.
Smith is expected to amply
fill the void left by Cooper’s
absence.
After those first four
games? Smith’s role has yet to
be determined.
“I have no idea, said Smith,
who signed in February after
being released by the San
Francisco 49ers. “I’m just trying to do the best job that I can
— the players play and coaches coach. That’s not up to me.
If it was up to the Chargers,
they would have Cooper in the
lineup. But having a fallback
provision such as Smith isn’t
bad.
Smith’s first 11 years have
been productive. He had at
least 100 tackles in each of his
first nine seasons and just
missed that mark his final two
years in San Francisco.
Although he’s been on
somewhat of a crash course in
absorbing the Chargers 3-4
alignment — the 49ers used it
occasionally last year —
Smith is proving to be a quick
study.
“It’s football and there are
just so many concepts you can
do, Smith said. “But I understand the 3-4 pretty good; it’s
just a matter of little adjustments of the way one coach
does things over the way
another one does.
Seemingly everyone is on
the same page regarding the
Chargers — the team is
loaded with talent and securing anything less than a Super
Bowl title will be a letdown.
The Chargers status is
among the reasons Smith
stayed in-state. He’s played in
five playoff games in his
career, but never in a Super
Bowl.
“Having a chance to win a
championship is something
that is very important to me,
Smith said. “And I think this
team wants a championship.
Some teams can get bogged
down with expectations. But
Smith senses the Chargers
have the right blend of being
confident, but not expecting
postseason payoffs minus the
hard work.
Notes: Among the players
missing Thursday’s practice
were WRs Malcom Floyd
(leg) and Vincent Jackson
(hamstring), and DT Jamal
Williams (knees).

Prescriptions may be partially to blame for father’s ills
Dear Annie: My dad is in the hospital for
the fourth time in a year. Yesterday, a specialist
finally admitted that Dad’s chief problem has
likely been inappropriate drugs prescribed by
his family physician.
Ten years ago, Dad was in good health and
took no medications. Then he started seeing
“Dr. Jones.” Dad’s cholesterol and blood pressure were slightly elevated, so Jones put him
on a statin and a blood-pressure drug. Over the
years, Dad’s cholesterol and pressure continued to go up and he began having other unexplained health problems. Every time, Dr. Jones
denied any connection to the drugs and instead
increased the dosages and prescribed more.
Several times I begged Dad to get a second
opinion, but he trusted and liked Jones. He told
me I worried too much, and that he was simply
getting older. Two years ago, Dad began having serious problems and was put on a blood
thinner and diuretics. When he collapsed, the
ER doctor told him to stop taking his choles-

terol meds. Dr. Jones said the ER doctor was an
idiot and instead diagnosed Dad with an unrelated muscle inflammation, for which he prescribed a high-dose steroid. When Dad began
showing severe side effects, Jones claimed
they were unconnected.
The upshot is that Dad lies in a hospital, too
weak to move and not knowing what day it is.
His kidneys are barely functioning and he
refuses to eat. The doctors and staff (bless
them!) are genuinely concerned, but his system
is such a pharmaceutical cesspool that they are
having a difficult time figuring it out.
Annie, please warn your readers. Dr. Jones’
haste in reaching for a prescription pad seems

Maybe then, Dad would be out tending his

Dear Bitter: It is always wise to get a second opinion. Please stop blaming yourself. No
matter how hard you kicked and screamed,
your father would most likely have continued
with the regimen he was taking from a doctor
he trusted. And not all doctors are willing to
admit they have misjudged their treatment protocol. If you think Dr. Jones is guilty of malpractice, he should be reported to his state
medical board. Please know our thoughts and
prayers are with you.

did a great job. Then I began treating myself to
a cut and color at the salon.
When my husband recently lost his job, I
explained to my hairdresser that I could no
longer afford to get the whole treatment. She
wanted to keep me as a customer, as I had been
with her for years, so she told me what color
would be the closest to what she used. Now I
buy it when it is on sale and my husband is coloring my hair again. No one even knows unless
I tell them. I have never had a problem, and my
hairdresser says he does a great job.
I find it hard to do my own hair, so I recommend having your spouse help. If that doesn’t
work, organize a hair party with your friends
and do one another’s hair. It could be lots of
fun. -- Brown Betty
Dear Betty: Great ideas. And we’re quite
impressed with your husband.

SPORTS
PGA TOUR | WGC BRIDGESTONE
SCOREBOARD
Singh takes a one-shot lead over Mickelson
“It’s anybody’s ball game,”
said Hunter Mahan, who had a
66 and was at 3-under 137.
It helps that Tiger Woods
isn’t at Firestone, particularly
since he is a six-time champion on this course and had
never finished out of the top
five in his 10 appearances.
“To me, him not being here
is the difference between 39th
and 38th,” Lonard said with a
laugh.
Singh was the last player
other than Woods to be No. 1
in the world, a 32-week reign
in 2004-05. But he now is 45,
coping with nagging injuries
and a victory drought on the
PGA Tour that has lasted 18
months and caused him to fall
to No. 15 in the world ranking.
The culprit? He blames his
putter.
Singh got so fed up with his
conventional putter when he
missed the cut at the British
Open that he went back to the
belly putter during a week of
practice and swears he will
stick with it.
“I’m not a great putter, but
I’m not a bad putter,” Singh
said. “The British Open was
the turning point, where I
played really well and putted
really badly, and decided
that’s it. I’m not a good putter
with a short putter. I’ve decided that I’m going to putt with
the belly. If you see me with a
short one, that means that
something is wrong with me.”
The only thing wrong on a
balmy Friday at Firestone was
his driver, although it didn’t
hurt him too badly. One day
after missing only one fairway, Singh was in the short
grass six times in the second
round, and needed to work his
shots around the tree-lined
fairways on the sixth and
eighth holes at the end of his
round to avoid dropping shots.
“I don’t know what happened,” he said. “When I hit
the ball, it just didn’t go
straight today.”
Mickelson hit his share of
errant shots, mostly on his
approach to the greens. He
found a bunker on No. 8 that
By DOUG FERGUSON
Associated Press
AKRON, Ohio — Without
the world’s No. 1 player
around, Vijay Singh and Phil
Mickelson brought some star
power Friday to the final
World Golf Championship of
the year.
Singh twice escaped from
the trees on his closing holes
at Firestone and renewed his
affair with a belly putter on
his way to a 4-under 66 at the
Bridgestone
Invitational,
putting his name atop the
leaderboard for the first time
in more than four months.
He was one shot ahead of
Mickelson, who made another
great escape at the end of the
second round, this time holing
a 20-foot par putt to finish off
a 66 that put him in the final
group with Singh.
Both have three majors —
two Masters and a PGA for
Mickelson, two PGAs and a
Masters for Singh — along
with some history. They got
into a heated argument during
a rain delay at Augusta
National over the length of
Mickelson’s metal spikes. A
year later when they played
two rounds together in
Phoenix, Singh asked that
Mickelson’s driver be tested
to make sure it was legal.
Both have more pressing
concerns this week, mainly
getting their games back in
order
with
the
PGA
Championship looming.
“I’m going to go out there
and play my heart out and try
to shoot as low as I can, and
not really be concerned about
what Phil does,” said Singh,
who was at 7-under 133.
“He’s going to be focused on
his game. I just hope we both
have a good day.”
Sean O’Hair, seeing immediate results from switching to
a new swing coach, had a 67
and joined the group at 5under 135 that included Lee
Westwood (65), former
Masters champion Zach
Johnson (68) and Peter
Lonard (66).
Sixteen players were within
four shots of the lead.
he couldn’t get close enough
to save par, and was headed in
the same direction on his final
hole at No. 9, hitting into the
left bunker and blasting out
weakly to 20 feet. But he
made it to save par, going into
the weekend with some
momentum.
“I didn’t want to bogey the
last two,” Mickelson said.
“And I also had been hitting a
lot of good putts, and I made a
bunch today. I made some
good ones. To see balls rolling
in now, I’m starting to gain a
little bit more confidence, a
little bit more momentum.”
Mickelson has been relatively quiet the last few
months, although not as
AWOL as Singh. The world’s
No. 2 player has won twice
this year, the last one at
Colonial in May when he used
one of his five wedges to hit
out and over the trees and onto
the green to win a playoff.
He didn’t use any drivers
the first two rounds of the
U.S. Open, which cost him.
And he couldn’t make a putt
at the British Open, where he
again was never a factor.
Mickelson is pouring everything into the final two
months of the season, especially the PGA Championship
next week at Oakland Hills,
and he likes the direction he is
going.
“I remember when I won
the Masters in ’06, I had a
great week the week before,”
he said. “So I would prefer
that.”
But there was plenty of golf
left at Firestone, and loads of
possibilities. Twenty-eight
players remained under par, a
big difference from last year
when Woods was the only
player to break par and won
by eight.
Rory Sabbatini, who had a
one-shot lead going into the
last round a year ago, shot 67
and was in the group at 4under 136 that included
Stewart Cink (68), one of two
players who have won this
WGC event at Firestone during Woods’ reign.

US auto sales slump to 16-year low in July
By DEE-ANN DURBIN
AP Auto Writer
DETROIT — U.S. auto sales slumped
to a 16-year low in July as automakers
failed to keep up with consumers’ growing
demand for smaller, more fuel-efficient
vehicles. While production changes may
help that problem, trouble in the credit and
auto leasing markets will continue to take
a toll on sales.
General Motors, Ford, Toyota and other
automakers said Friday that their U.S.
sales fell by double-digits. Nissan Motor
Co. was the only major automaker to
report a gain, with truck sales up 18 percent thanks in part to the new Rogue
crossover and a boost in incentives.
Nissan’s overall sales rose 8.5 percent.
Automakers were expecting a slide in
July as high gas prices continued to cut
into sales of trucks and sport utility vehicles and new troubles in the auto leasing
sector further wrecked consumers’ confidence. July’s seasonally adjusted sales rate
— which shows what sales would be if
they continued at the same pace for the full
year — was 12.5 million vehicles, according to Autodata Corp. That’s down from
17 million as recently as 2005.
Automakers expect things to get worse
Reaction
before they get better.
“We expect the second half of 2008 will
be more challenging than the first half as
economic and credit conditions weaken,”
Ford’s marketing chief, Jim Farley, said in
a statement.
Mark LaNeve, GM’s vice president of
North American sales, said tightening
standards for buyers with poor credit are
costing the automaker sales of about
10,000 vehicles per month.
Customers looking for vehicle financing options were further squeezed late last
month, when Chrysler LLC announced its
financial arm would get out of the leasing
business by the end of July. Automakers
trying to sell trucks and SUVs returned by
leaseholders are suffering big losses
because the vehicles’ values have declined
far more than projected.
Following Chrysler’s lead, Ford told
dealers it would raise the price of leases on
some trucks and SUVs, while GMAC
Financial Services said it would stop offering leasing incentives in Canada. LaNeve
said Friday that GM will watch the competition to decide whether it makes further
leasing changes. Toyota said it has no
plans to change its leasing strategy.
Farley said he doesn’t expect the
economy.
“It’s foreclosure wages. We
have a housing crisis here in
California and it just got
worse.”

Mimi Febres, 40, choked
back tears during a union
protest as she related moving
from Vallejo to Sacramento
six weeks ago to take a job at
the Department of Motor
Vehicles headquarters.
“I came to the state for
security and benefits. Look
where we are. It is personal. I
was told yesterday I have no
job,” Febres said. “We just put
a deposit on an apartment.
Now we have to move out.”
She joined several hundred
other state workers outside the
Capitol carrying signs and
shouting, “We’re not pawns”
and “We can’t survive on
$6.55.”

Pedro Leon, 52, of
Sacramento, has worked 31
years as a printing press operator at the Department of
Justice. He expects to take an
80 percent pay cut if he begins
receiving only the federal
minimum wage.
“I’ll be lucky if I have
enough money to eat, let alone
pay my bills,” said Leon,
flanked
by
his
wife,
Susannah. “This would just
harm the whole state of
California and bring the economy to its knees.”
The couple’s two adult
children live at home, and the
family has little savings.
“Nobody knew it was coming,” said Susannah Leon,
who is not employed outside
the home. “If he doesn’t get a
paycheck, I don’t have a roof
over my head.”

Obama endorses
compromise that
includes additional
offshore drilling
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.
(AP) — Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama
said Friday he would be willing to support limited additional offshore oil drilling if
that’s what it takes to enact a
comprehensive policy to foster fuel-efficient autos and
develop alternate energy
sources.
Shifting from his previous
opposition to expanded offshore drilling, the Illinois senator told a Florida newspaper
he could get behind a compromise with Republicans and oil
companies to prevent gridlock

over energy.
changes to have a big impact on sales
because automakers will start countering
the higher lease costs with an escalation of
sales incentives.
That rush began Friday, when Chrysler
announced new incentives for August,
including a 72-month financing plan with
monthly payments similar to those of 36month lease payments.
But even if automakers get buyers into
the showroom, they’re having trouble
matching their production with growing
demand for smaller vehicles. Small cars
represented 27 percent of sales industrywide in July, up from 21 percent in the
same month last year, according to George
Pipas, Ford’s top U.S. sales analyst. Mike
DiGiovanni, GM’s executive director of
global market and industry analysis, said if
supply constraints remain at the same pace
for the rest of this year, it would cost the
industry about 300,000 vehicle sales, but
as the year goes on and automakers adjust
production, he expects that number to go
down.
Toyota said Friday it is accelerating
production of four-cylinder engines and
boosting production of the subcompact
Yaris and the small Corolla by 40,000
units through October.
Homeless man returns
$1,000 to SoCal woman
Associated Press
VICTORVILLE — A
homeless man who found a
purse containing nearly
$1,000 returned it to a needy
mother of three — but admits
he thought about keeping the
cash.
The man, identified by the
Victorville Daily Press only as
Chris, told the newspaper that
he had been trying to save
$700 to move into an apartment.
“I can’t say I was perfect
because for a tenth of a second, I thought about taking
it,” he said.
But “it wasn’t my money,”
he added.
“I offered him a $50
reward, and he turned me
down,” Nancy Daniels said.
“I’m going to be able to pay
the rent because of his honesty.”
Daniels,
of
Rancho
Cucamonga, had cashed a
check from her parents and
forgot her purse on the roof of
her car Tuesday in a Target
parking lot.
As she settled her children
inside and drove off, the purse
fell off. It was found by Chris,
who was living in the nearby
High
Desert
Homeless
Services shelter. He found
Daniels’ cell phone and began
dialing numbers. He got a
friend, who called Daniels.
“Some guy has found your
purse, he’s a street away, and
trying to find you,” the friend
said.
“Sure enough, there he is,
standing there with my
purse,” Daniels said.
“She had three kids in the
back of the car, and two of
them were crying,” Chris said.
“She counted the money and
said, ‘It’s all here,’ and I said,
‘Yes, ma’am.”’
Chris has become a celebrity at the shelter — which he
finds puzzling.
“I just did what I thought
was right,” he said. “She had
three kids. She needs the
money. I know I’m homeless,
but she has three kids. ... It
seemed too important.”
