Mendocino County sheriff’s deputies and the Ukiah
Police Department are investigating the death of John
Talamo, 20, of Ukiah, who
was found dead in a local
motel room Tuesday.
Talamo’s body was discovered by friends Tuesday
morning; it is unknown exactly how long he had been dead
when he was found. The circumstances of his death are
unknown, but Sheriff’s Capt.
Kurt Smallcomb said it
appeared that Talamo was
partying with friends before
his death. Foul play is not
suspected.
Smallcomb said the investigators would wait for the

Shannon Riley, co-owner of downtown’s Shoefly & Sox, received the “Spirit of Main Street”
award from the Ukiah Main Street Program for her help in planning and organizing the first
Home for the Holidays last year.
Awards honor volunteers
who help downtown Ukiah
The Daily Journal
The Ukiah Main Street Program
held its annual volunteer awards
dinner Thursday night to honor a
number of local businesses that
help keep the Ukiah downtown
thriving.
“From time to time, a special
honor -- the ‘Spirit of Main Street
Award’ -- is bestowed on an individual, company, or organization
that best exemplifies the tenets of
the Main Street Program,” said Joy
Beeler, executive director of Ukiah
Main Street. “This award is given
to a volunteer who gives outstanding service to the Ukiah Main
Street Program, gives unselfishly
of his or her time and energy, and is
always there to help; those who
give ‘From the Heart’ and just
plain get what we’re all about.”
Although it’s not an annual
award, this year Ukiah Main Street
gave its Spirit of Main Street
Award to Shannon Riley, owner of
Shoefly and Sox.
“Shannon helped plan our first
Home for the Holidays this past
year, something that will be carried
on for years to come,” Beeler said.
The De Los Santos Award for
volunteerism goes to one “jolly old
man”: Main Street’s “Santa,”
George Phelan, who has volunteered his time and stepped into the
role of Santa Claus for too many
holiday seasons to count.
“He has a wonderfully warm
personality, interacts fantastically
with children of all ages and brings
so much joy to our program every
year,” Beeler said.
Ukiah Main Street’s sponsor of
the year awards were given to two
well-known local businesses:
Thurston Auto Plaza and Eagle
Distributing.

A sodden California is stumbling
toward the wettest year on record,
with water managers closely watching stressed levees as a seemingly
endless string of storms continues to
dump water into the state’s rivers.
In Ukiah, the current rainfall level
is unseen since 1998 -- when there
were about 73 inches of rain -- and
in 1983, when Ukiah saw 69 inches.
Except for the New Year’s weekend flooding, Mendocino County
has been largely unaffected by the
deluge, as emergency officials said
Central California was suffering the
brunt of the seemingly endless rain.
The high-water levels have seen
little
impact,
said
interim
Emergency Services Coordinator
Gregg Smith, but the rains have
been heavily saturating the county’s
soil.
“Landslides, mud flow -- that’s
what we’re keeping an eye on,” he
said. “Flooding is not a concern.”
The local district of the Army
Corps of Engineers, which oversees
Lake Mendocino’s Coyote Valley
Dam, have upped the water release
to 2,000 cubic feet per second.
In other rain-related local alterations, Highway 175 over the
Hopland Grade was closed Monday,
but on Wednesday the grade had
reopened to two-way traffic.
Mendocino County is “looking
good” despite the frequent downpours, Smith said.
He added with a laugh: “I’m
ready for sunshine.”
Of particular concern statewide is
the lower San Joaquin River, said
Gary Bardini, chief of hydrology
and flood operations for the
California Department of Water
Resources.
“This is a wet year. If someone
wants to see what a wet year looks
like, this is it,” he said. “1983 was
the wettest year on record (for the

Mathematics Framework now available for public viewing
The Daily Journal
State Superintendent of Public
Instruction Jack O’Connell announced Tuesday that the 2006 edition of the Mathematics Framework
for California Public Schools,
kindergarten through grade 12 is
now available to view online or in
hard copy.
The Framework provides additional directions on how all students
in California public schools can best
meet the math content standards,
including those students performing
at, below, and above grade level;
English learners; special education
students; and others with special
learning needs.
“Student achievement in math
throughout the state has increased
over the last several years, but there’s
always room for improvement,”
O’Connell said. “Some students are
still in danger of not mastering the
math skills measured by the
California High School Exit Exam
and are struggling in their preparation for algebra, both of which they
need to pass to earn a diploma. The
additional directions provided in the
Framework are designed to address
that problem.”
The Framework is based on the
math content standards adopted by
‘Some students are still in danger of not mastering the math skills measured by the
California High School Exit Exam and are struggling in their preparation for
algebra, both of which they need to pass to earn a diploma.’
JACK O’CONNELL, state superintendent
the state Board of Education in 1997.
It builds on the standards and provides guidance for curricula development,
instructional
materials,
instructional practices, assessment
and staff development.
Recognizing that districts need a
variety of math instructional materials, the Framework calls for three
types of programs: basic grade level
(kindergarten through grade eight),
intervention (grades four through
seven), and algebra readiness (grade
eight or above). By providing local
educational agencies with additional
choices in selecting instructional
materials, O’Connell expects these
new intervention and algebra readi-

ness materials will help all students
successfully complete algebra I.
Appendix E of the Framework
describes in further detail the content
of these two new types of specialized
instructional math materials. In
November 2007, the State Board of
Education will be adopting math
instructional resources for kindergarten through grade eight.
The Framework is available on
the California Department of
Education Web site at Curriculum
Frameworks - Mathematics. To order

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Bush
and Vice President Dick Cheney authorized
Cheney’s top aide to launch a counterattack of
leaks against administration critics on Iraq by
feeding intelligence information to reporters,
according to court papers citing the aide’s testimony in the CIA leak case.
In a court filing, Special Counsel Patrick
Fitzgerald stopped short of accusing Cheney of
authorizing his chief of staff, I. Lewis Libby, to
leak the CIA identity of Valerie Plame.
But the prosecutor, detailing the evidence he
has gathered, raised the possibility that the vice
president was trying to use Plame’s CIA
employment to discredit her husband, administration critic Joseph Wilson. Cheney, according
to an indictment against Libby, knew that
Wilson’s wife worked at the CIA as early as
June 12, 2003, more than a month before that
fact turned up in a column by Robert Novak.
Libby faces trial next January on five counts
of perjury, obstruction and lying to the FBI
about how he learned of the CIA identity of
Wilson’s wife and what he told reporters about
it. The indictment says Cheney told Libby in
June 2003 that Wilson’s wife worked at the
CIA.
Moussaoui jury hears
emotional impact of Sept. 11
on children who lost parents
ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) — The stories
and photos of four young children, all of whom
lost parents in the 9/11 attacks, brought witnesses to tears and visibly affected jurors
Thursday at the death penalty trial of al-Qaida
conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui.
The second phase of the sentencing trial —
to determine whether Moussaoui deserves execution or life in prison — opened Thursday.
Early on, prosecutors played videos of the two
hijacked jetliners hitting the gleaming World
Trade Center towers. They also showed videos
of people plunging more than 80 stories to
their deaths and punctuated their presentation
with family photos of loved ones.
Each hour the emotional impact grew.
Former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani
retold the now-familiar tale of his own harrowing experience in debris-choked lower
Manhattan on Sept. 11, 2001. But it was not
until he spoke of the daughter of one of his
closest aides, Beth Petrone Hatton, that
Giuliani’s voice quaked and broke. Firefighter
Child psychiatrists shortage
inflicts toll nationwide
NEW YORK (AP) — In state after state,
bleak statistics and grim anecdotes lead to the
same diagnosis: America suffers from a serious, long-term shortage of child psychiatrists
that is taking a toll on young people, their parents and their doctors.
Wyoming is down to two child psychiatrists; another left last year. In Augusta, Ga.,
Dr. Sarah Sexton tells would-be new patients
she might be able to see them in July.
Elsewhere, doctors take no new patients at all.
“There is no state where it is not a problem
— none,” said Dr. Gregory Fritz, director of
child psychiatry at Brown Medical School in
Providence, R.I. “We see it in the emergency
ward every night, where problems have gotten
out of hand over time due to lack of intervention, and progress to a point where a kid is suicidal or dangerous.”
The shortage has been noticed within the
profession for years, but psychiatrists say the
consequences are worsening as the stigma of
mental health problems recedes and more families seek help for their children, including prescriptions for psychiatric drugs.
Ancient manuscript unveiled
on relationship of Jesus, Judas
WASHINGTON (AP) — For 2,000 years
Judas has been reviled for betraying Jesus.
Now a newly translated ancient document
seeks to tell his side of the story.
The “Gospel of Judas” tells a far different
tale from the four gospels in the New
Testament. It portrays Judas as a favored disciple who was given special knowledge by Jesus
— and who turned him in at Jesus’ request.
“You will be cursed by the other generations
— and you will come to rule over them,” Jesus
tells Judas in the document made public
Thursday.
The text, one of several ancient documents
found in the Egyptian desert in 1970, was preserved and translated by a team of scholars. It
was made public in an English translation by
the National Geographic Society.
Religious and lay readers alike will debate
the meaning and truth of the manuscript.
But it does show the diversity of beliefs in
early Christianity, said Marvin Meyer, profesSee BRIEFLY, Page A-12

Well-versed in poetry
A poem is “a vivid and
imaginative sense of experience” according to my dictionary’s definition. Doesn’t
that sound alluring, something that might broaden
and deepen our sensitivities
and our perceptions,
enlivening us in the
process? The next bit
describes poetry’s “condensed language chosen for
sound, power, and meaning.” Wow, it’s short and
packed with goodies.
What’s not to like? Last,
poetry is characterized by
its use of “such literary
techniques as structured
meter, natural cadences,
rhyme, or metaphor.” “Aye,
there’s the rub,” as Mr.
Shakespeare, the poet
known for perfecting the
sonnet, says.
If it’s been years since
you’ve read or heard poetry
or you never understood the
poems you did read, meter,
cadence, and metaphor may
sound intimidating. But
local poets, the County
Library, the Ukiah Poet
Laureate Committee, and
Writers Read are working
to make poetry more accessible to everyone. And since
April is National Poetry
Month, there are plenty of
opportunities for us to
access it.
“I first became interested
in poetry in grammar school
because it provided me a
safe place to express emotion,” explains Ukiah poet
Armand Brint. “Poetry is
important especially in our
culture where we run at
such a frenetic pace. Poetry
gives us the opportunity to
stop and tune in to the news
of our inner selves,” he
says.
In honor of National
Poetry Month, Ukiah
Reference Librarian Eliza
Wingate and Willits
Librarian Donna Kerr will
be offering “A Poem a Day”
to library patrons.
Kerr says, “I got the idea
one year as I watched people in line at the Ukiah
Branch. They looked har-

ried; they were waiting with
their kids to check out a
pile of books, probably
thinking about their mortgages or the next thing on
their list to do. I realized I
had a captive audience. And
my question was ‘Does
poetry matter anymore?’”
The poetry handouts
proved to be popular and
have become an April staple.
“Whether it’s
Shakespeare, Keats, Mary
Oliver or whoever, people
want to read it and want to
be moved. Someone
expresses what we need to
hear. Poetry does matter,”
concludes Kerr.
Another program focused
on making poetry accessible
to all is the Ukiahaiku
Festival scheduled for April
23. The Festival, at the
Ukiah Conference Center
from 3 to 5 p.m., will feature readings by the top finishers in each of eight categories. To get us warmed
up, here is last year’s winner in the 10-12th grade
General Topic division. The

Five years of FIRST 5
By RICHARD ROSIER
The Daily Journal
For the past five years,
FIRST 5 Mendocino has been
using a 5 percent tax from
tobacco sales to fund programs focused on children
ages 0 to 5 years of age.
FIRST 5 Mendocino has
upheld its mission to use its
resources to establish, fund,
coordinate, evaluate and
advocate for programs that
promote the health and development for young children in
Mendocino County by funding various local initiatives.
One of the initiatives that
FIRST 5 Mendocino funds is
the
Compensation
and
Retention
Encourage
Stability program. This program supplies stipends to
child care providers according to their level of education
and training. This stipend has
allowed providers to purchase new games for the children under their care, as well
as hiring substitutes to fill in
while they receive further
training.
Another initiative that
FIRST 5 Mendocino has supported is the Kits for New
Parents. This program offers
new parents in Mendocino
County free kits, available in
both English and Spanish,
that includes a “first book”
parents can read to their
babies and a series of 20minute videos that educate
parents in the following
areas: importance of the early
years; quality child care;
safety; health and nutrition;
discipline; and early literacy.
Though

Mendocino has accomplished
much in the last five years,
the program is not resting on

Investing in Ukiah’s future
The chances are, in recent years you
have read about the S. H. Cowell
Foundation in this newspaper. The headline would read that a local non-profit
organization has received a large
($100,00 to $650,000) grant to assist
with their work. In fact, since the Cowell
Foundation began making grants in
Ukiah in 2001, they have granted well
over two million dollars for local projects, all aimed at improving the quality
of life of low-income children and families.
Why is S. H. Cowell Foundation, a
private family foundation from San
Francisco, making such a large investment in Mendocino County? It is part of
their strategy to make “place-based”
grants. After careful evaluation and community meetings, the Cowell Foundation
selects communities where they believe
they can make a difference. Unlike the
Bay Area, where non-profits can turn to
a multitude of private foundations, the
communities the Cowell Foundation
selects have, “limited access to other private and philanthropic resources.”
When the Cowell Foundation selects a
community such as Ukiah, they support
complementary projects in affordable
housing, family resource centers, K-12
public education and youth development. Their publications explain: “Most
important to us is the quality of the relationships and connections among the
people and organizations within a community. In deciding where to make
grants, we look for towns or neighbor-

hoods where residents, public and nonprofit service providers, educators, and
civic leaders are working together to
improve the quality of life of lowincome children and families.”
A few weeks ago, the Cowell
Foundation‚s President Ann Alpers,
Director of Grants Lise Maisano, and
other staff members were in Ukiah to
meet with the Cowell grantees and to see
what progress is being made in improving life for low-income families in
Ukiah.
Represented at the meeting were organizations that have received significant
grants from the Cowell Foundation
including Nuestra Casa, the Rural
Community Housing Development
Corporation, SPACE, The Alex
Rorabaugh Cultural and Recreation
Center, and Plowshares. Also represented were the public schools. The
Community Foundation was invited
because the S. H. Cowell Foundation
provided a pivotal $250,000 to the
Community Endowment Fund last year,
enabling that fund to reach its one million dollar goal.
The people at the meeting shared the
many accomplishments that have been
made possible by Cowell grants and also
discussed the future changes they would
like to see in Ukiah. A major goal is to
improve high school graduation rates
among our young people through programs including parent education and
outreach. Developing community leadership and cooperation is another goal.
People are looking for ways to improve
communication and understanding
between ethnic communities, as well as
between different community interest
groups.
I spoke with Lise Maisano to get a
sense of what she had found most
rewarding about her work in Ukiah. She
said, “In every community where Cowell
makes grants, I get excited by our
grantee’s passion for improving conditions for children and families. That passion is certainly present in Ukiah. I have
already seen organizations take major
leaps forward in terms of the services
they are able to offer to families in the
community. In future visits, I look forward to seeing how the pieces all come
together and how the lives of children
who live in poverty are improving.”

How and when to plant tree seedlings
For those of you still planning to plant tree seedlings, you
probably know it is a little late in
the season to be planting. The
best time to plant tree seedlings
in Mendocino County is at the
beginning of the rainy season
after 6 inches of rain has fallen.
The idea is to plant tree
seedlings as soon as the ground
is wet enough to easily create a
hole and at a time when the
ground will remain consistently
moist for several months while
the seedling becomes established. Planting this late in the
season may mean that in order
for your seedlings to survive
you will need to water them and
or plant them in strategic locations so that they are protected
from excessive sun and wind.
Once you have your
seedlings, it is best to plant them
right away or store them proper-
Tree Tips
By Thembi Borras
ly if you need to delay planting.
In storage, you are trying to prevent the roots from drying out at
the same time mold from forming, which requires a delicate
balance of air circulation and
moisture.
In addition to planting the
seedling immediately, knowing
how and where to plant will
increase the chances that your
seedling survives. Plant your
seedling outside the drip line of
existing trees, but opt for places
that provide some protection
from exposure. An excellent
location is on the north side of a
decaying log. Grass is a fierce
competitor to seedlings, so if
you plan to plant in grassland
scarify an area down to bare
mineral soil 12 inches to 24
inches in diameter, this buffer
must be maintained until the
tree is established. Although it is
more important to pick the right
spot, shoot for a distance of 8
feet to 12 feet between trees.
Make sure your hole is deep
enough for the roots of the
seedling to be fully extended.
Then while holding the seedling
fill the hole with dirt and tamp.
Don't leave any air pockets near
the roots. You can further
increase the chance the tree will
survive through maintenance,
including removing competing
brush and doing deep watering
once every two weeks.

Letters from our readers
Aren’t we all
Americans first?
To the Editor:
Theodore Roosevelt had it right. He
wrote,”We have room for but one language here, that is the English language ...
and we have room for but one sole loyalty
and that is a loyalty to the American people.” He went on to write, “... it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man
because of creed, birthplace, or origin. But
this is predicated upon the person’s
becoming in every facet an American, and
nothing but an American ... There can be
no divided allegiance here. Any man who
says he is an American but something else
also, isn’t an American at all. We have
room for but one flag, the American Flag
...”
All legal immigrants are welcome now
as they have been in the past. They are
welcomed to America, to become an
American, nothing less. Without a national
pride and the “American” culture our
country is doomed to chaos and obliteration.
A well known radio talk show has said
that “Borders, Language and Culture” are
the most important of all challenges we
face today. He is absolutely correct!

Bilingual education
most important
To the Editor:
The lack and under-representation of
Latino and bilingual law enforcement personnel in our community is due to the lack
of bilingual education, the incomprehension of different cultures, and the ignorance of our own history. I will say that
Latinos are more than 35percent of our
county’s population, and we are also the
fastest growing group, as well.
Spanish language is the main Latino
language and is not only the second most
spoken language around the world, but the
second most important language spoken in
the United States of America. Mendocino
County was an important Spanish settlement, and so California, the whole state.
In this county we are proud of our diversity, and Latinos proud of our SpanishMexican cultural background, but for
some reason Latinos still remain underrepresented in all areas of our society, and
therefore is a need of bilingual (EnglishSpanish) policemen, teachers, farmers,
clerks, lawyers, nurses, construction workers, social workers, doctors, and even
judges.
I think the main obstacle to fulfill those
needs is our educational system, because
schools are concerned about students
learning English and forgetting their
Spanish, and that is very wrong because
hundreds of new immigrant families from
Mexico and other Spanish speaking countries enroll their kids in the public schools
all year around, and many of them don’t
speak any English. The consequence of
this is that those students will be left
behind and if they are undocumented, high
school will be the maximum educational
level reached, so they won’t have the
same opportunities than those who were
born here. But at the same time, those
who were born here are immersed in a
monolingual educational system where
Spanish language is like a hobby and is
not considered with the importance that it
deserves.
In Europe most first world countries are
bilingual or trilingual because they have
the same kind of education. In Mexico
most private schools and some public
schools teach English as second language.
We have a North America Free Trade
Agreement between Mexico and the
United Sates, our economies need from
each other. So it is very important for all
of us to learn two or more languages,
especially at young age. In my case, as an
immigrant from Mexico, I feel blessed
because in Mexico, I studied and learned
English language in a bilingual elementary
school. I never studied this language after
that, and then I came to the United States
six years ago. Thanks to the basic grammar and spelling skills acquired when a
child, I am able to keep learning, speaking
and improving in this language.
I believe in bilingual education, so I
believe in a reasonable solution for our
social needs in our community regarding
the need of bilingual persons, not only
bilingual, but bi-cultural too, because the
language is just one part of a culture, and
in our community stand out many aspects
of the Mexican culture, even if many of
the times are not reflected in important
social issues.

Realities dictating an

Other opinions
From around the nation
The Tampa (Fla.) Tribune
On tracking prescription drugs
In 2003 a statewide grand
jury found an alarming percentage of prescription
drugs in Florida had been
altered or stolen for illegal
resale somewhere between
their manufacture and their
acquisition by hospitals,
clinics, doctors and pharmacies.
As a result, insurance
companies and Medicaid
were bilked. Worse, patients
were hurt.
As just one example, a
Michigan man who thought
he was injecting his son with
growth hormone learned
after the boy complained of
pain that he had given him
insulin, purchased from a
legitimate Florida pharmacy.
The prescription label had
been changed by a counterfeiter.
The Legislature responded to the grand jury report by
passing a law that strengthened licensure requirements
for wholesalers and ordered
them to start recording every
transaction from manufacturer to dispenser starting
July 1, 2006. With the deadline approaching, some
wholesalers are complaining
that the new rule would slow
down drug delivery and that
software vendors stand to
benefit.
But Attorney General
Charlie Crist, grabbing a
potent issue for his gubernatorial campaign, says the
industry has had more than a
decade to figure out how to
manage so-called pedigree
papers. He says this is a public safety issue - potentially a
matter of life and death - and
the Legislature shouldn't
reward
those
who've
dragged their feet.
The question is whether
Crist has a solution to a
problem or whether a problem exists that needs solving. Before lawmakers vote
to let the rule go into effect,
they should figure that out.
Star Tribune,
Minneapolis
On the pipeline
“Spills happen” has been
the response, more or less, of
the pipeline operator and its
regulators to the largest leak
of crude oil yet recorded on
Alaska's North Slope. A section of 34-inch pipeline,
which gathers crude oil from
various wells and moves it
into
the
trans-Alaska
pipeline, rotted away from
the inside out. Gosh, says the
British Petroleum subsidiary
that runs the network, corrosion is a known problem in
these 30-year-old pipes, but
we had no idea this one was
giving out so fast.
The Alaska Department
of
Environmental
Conservation is full of praise
for BP's quick response and
vigorous cleanup program,
skipping over the part about
how the hemorrhage went
undetected for five days, at
least, before a guy happened
to step out of his truck at the
right place and smell oil.
Anyway, it's 40 below
now and the oil is so thick it
can be scooped right off the
tundra. Heck, maybe 90 percent of it can be put back in
a pipe and shipped to a refinery. These have got to be
among the last people on
earth - outside the Bush
administration, where it's an
official article of faith - who
can say with apparent conviction that oil drilling can
expand across the North
Slope, and into the Arctic
National Wildlife Refuge,
without
environmental
harm.
They know better than
anyone that the operations
centered on Prudhoe pro-
duce, on average, better than
one spill per day. Yes, some
of them are small; yes, not
all of them are crude oil. But
in the eight years ending in
2004, they totaled 1.9 million gallons.
All by itself, the latest
leak has tainted a two-acre
section of tundra with more
than a quarter-million gallons of crude oil _ enough, a
pocket calculator suggests,
to cover it nearly 5 inches
deep. This is exactly the
kind of accident that is supposed to be unthinkable
these days, prevented by the
technology
that
lets
pipelines
and
pristine
wilderness coexist.
The 34-inch pipeline that
failed was fitted with stateof-the-art sensors, installed
just two years ago, that are
required to detect a leak as
small as 1 percent of the
flow (BP claims they can
actually register a leak half
that size). But they didn't
notice this gusher, and
nobody can explain why.
Nor has anybody explained
why BP hadn't given the line
a thorough internal inspection since 1998.
The main point is that oil
production in Alaska is both
conducted and chiefly regulated by people whose highest interest is in seeing the
crude keep flowing with as
few interruptions as possible. People like the petroleum engineer who told a
newspaper (with a straight
face, we presume) he
blamed the recent spill on
environmentalists, because
the leak occurred in a section
buried under gravel for the
convenience of migrating
caribou.
It really would be nice if
oil exploration could keep
expanding across the North
Slope without repeating this
filthy history. But as this big
spill reminds us anew, that's
only a pipe dream.

The Minutemen volunteers now keeping watch for
illegal immigrants on the Arizona-Mexico border can
fulminate about lawbreakers all they want, but the
facts on the ground guarantee their complaint will not
really matter.
That's because the estimated 12 million illegals now
in this country are not leaving and no one is about to
throw them out. The pressing need today, then, is not
for punishment or criminalization, but for ways to
assimilate them while also protecting borders and
keeping the numbers stable. An attempt at this will be
the essence of the federal compromise today's heated
debate in Congress will surely produce.
Much of this was put in bas relief by the landmark
demonstrations of last month and those that have continued since.
Before March, no demonstration in American history ever involved as many as 10 percent of the persons
affected by whatever issue aroused the event.
That's why it meant so much when gigantic crowds
turned out across California and the rest of the nation
to protest tough immigration measures okayed by the
House of Representatives.
There were at least 500,000 in Los Angeles,
300,000 in Chicago, 200,000 in New York City and
tens of thousands more in places like San Jose and
Atlanta. Together, they added up to almost 2 million by
police estimates; more if you accept the figures purveyed by march sponsors.
In short, if you accept three things - the police numbers, the federal estimate of 12 million illegal immigrants now residing in this country and the assumption
that most demonstrators were undocumented - then
this was proportionately the largest demonstration ever
involving persons affected by one issue.
The huge demonstrations and many smaller ones by
high school students that followed made it plain that
one aim of hard-line anti-illegal immigrant advocates
will never happen: No one can deport every illegal
alien.
Which means some kind of compromise must occur,
and that's just what appears to be emerging from the
ongoing debate in the U.S. Senate.
While sheer numbers preclude any law demanding
deportation of all illegals, there will be a larger-thanever effort to secure borders. Few in Congress are
resisting the idea of building large walls covering hundreds of miles in border areas that get the most illegal
traffic.
At the same time, tunneling under the border will
likely become a felony. In one Senate floor speech,
California Democrat Dianne Feinstein reported visiting a well-lighted half-mile-long, eight-foot-high tunnel leading from a warehouse in Tijuana to another in
San Diego, with 300-pound packages of marijuana
found at either end.
"Today," she said, "there is no law that makes building or financing such a tunnel a crime."
Almost certainly, it will be a federal offense soon.
Also almost certain is a doubling of the Border Patrol's
size over the next five years, adding about 2,500 troopers per year.
But harboring or employing illegals will almost
surely not become a felony, as the House bill provides.
Not only would enforcement require a host of new federal agents, but it could lead to arrests of clergymen
and others guilty of little more than feeding and housing the desperately needy.
Less clear is the shape of the guest worker plan also
likely to be part of the eventual compromise. There is
too much opposition to allow a repeat of the amnesty
program okayed by President Ronald Reagan in 1986,
one that produced more than 3 million new United
States citizens.
But a recent Feinstein experiment debunked the
common claim of anti-immigration activists who argue
that American citizens or legal immigrants can be
found to fill virtually all jobs now taken by illegal
immigrants. Feinstein had welfare departments in all
58 California counties post notices advertising jobs in
agriculture, detailing locations and working conditions. Not one person responded anywhere in the state,
she reports.
"That was pretty convincing evidence to me that
Americans don't choose to do this work," she said.
But it must be done. Strawberries and almonds and
oranges must be harvested. Cars and dishes need to be
washed and hotel rooms cleaned. When the
Minutemen helped cause a momentary drop in illegal
immigration last fall, farms throughout the Central
Valley reported severe labor shortages and complained
they might lose part of their crops.
So immigrant labor is necessary, and it will continue. But history indicates that guest workers won't usually return home when their allotted time is up. So far,
no one offers a remedy for this reality. Which means
that while compromise is now all but a sure thing, it is
also certain the outcome will not please anyone with
strong feelings on either side.
Which, of course, is what compromise is all about.

MENDRS and
VORP to offer conflict management
workshop
This Saturday is an exciting
workshop
offered
by
Mendocino County’s two
mediation
non-profits.
“Keeping Your Cool in a
Conflict: Practical Skills for
Working It Out” will be held
April 8, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
at Mendocino College, Room
1200.
Mendocino
Dispute
Resolution Services (MENDRS) trainer, Jon Magoon,
will pair with the Victim
Offender Restoration Program
(VORP) trainer, Anne Oliver.
Both have extensive experience leading participants to a
new understanding of how to
solve or manage problems
without violence and outside
the courtroom.
Recently board members
and staff of the two organizations met to take further steps
toward collaboration. In most
areas a single non-profit handles both community and
restorative justice mediation.
Those involved in Mendocino
County’s mediation services
think that working together
will enhance those services
and give law enforcement and
the courts added support in
helping citizens live in peace.
Details of the MENDRSNORP merger will be
worked out in the coming
months. Anyone wishing

Vijay Singh takes a shot Thursday at Augusta National in Augusta, Ga., on the
first day of The Masters. Singh is in first place after day one with a score of 67.
First day is
all Vijay
By DOUG FERGUSON
The Associated Press
AUGUSTA, Ga. — In his office overlooking a super-sized golf course, Masters chairman Hootie Johnson must have been smiling.
For all the dread that the latest changes to
Augusta National went over the top, the
Masters had a familiar look Thursday, starting
with Vijay Singh atop the leaderboard.
The former Masters champion fired off
three straight birdies on the back nine for a 5under 67, his best start in this tournament and
a round he felt was long overdue.
There was a surprise, as always, in Rocco
Mediate (68), and another strong debut by a
Masters rookie, this time from Arron
Oberholser (69). For sentimental value, look
no further than 54-year-old Ben Crenshaw,
whose short game carried him to a 71, his best
round on this course since he closed with a 68
to win his second green jacket 11 years ago.
Tiger Woods had to settle for a 72, no
change there since he has never broken 70 in
the first round.
“This is probably one of the better rounds
I’ve played out here,” Singh said.
Johnson heard plenty of criticism in the
days leading up to the Masters, particularly
the extra length on the par-3 fourth (240
yards), the tree-lined seventh (450 yards) and
the frightening 11th hole, which measures 505
yards and has a dozen more pine trees planted
down the right side of the fairway.
Singh had a simple two-putt from just off
the back of the green at No. 4, hit 7-iron into
20 feet for birdie on the seventh and made one
of only two birdies — Mediate had the other
— on No. 11 by carving a 5-iron around a tree
and into 10 feet.
The result was a one-shot lead and a shot of
confidence he badly needed — he hasn’t won
since August.
“I don’t know if it was easier,” Singh said.
“I think the golf course was pretty tough from

After suffering through
two weeks of inactivity due
to rain, the Mendocino
College baseball team
returned to Bay Valley
Conference play Thursday
against Los Medanos in
Fairfield, losing 3-2.
Los Medanos ace Chris
Bodisbaugh picked up a
complete game pitching win
for the Mustangs, who
improved to 11-1 in BVC
play, with their only loss
coming at the hands of
Mendocino on March 18.
The Eagles fell to 2-8 in
league with the loss.
“We played about as well
as we could for being off for
so long,” said Mendocino
head coach Matt Gordon.
“We’re not going to win a
league title, but we shouldn’t
have a losing record in our
conference, because we’re
not that bad.
“Now is the time we need
to string some wins together.”
Freshman Justin Bautista
picked up the loss for the
Eagles, going 7 2/3 innings,
giving up six hits, walking
three, and striking out four.
Mendocino battled back
to tie the score twice in the
game, the first time on a
two-out single by Ryan
Lamson that scored Corey
Broin to make the score 1-1
in the top of the fourth
inning.
The Eagles tied the score
at 2-2 in the fifth on another
two-out single, this one
coming from Justin Malec
and scoring Travis Mather.
Los Medanos scored the
winning run in the bottom of
the sixth inning on a sacrifice fly after two runners
reached on bunts.
“This is just us right now,
and the funk we’re going
through.” Gordon said.
“We’ve got to figure out a
way to get out of it.”
Weather
permitting,
Mendocino will host Napa
Valley College Saturday in a
doubleheader slated to start
at noon.
Ukiah 6-0 in NBL
The Daily Journal
The Ukiah boys golf team improved to a perfect 6-0 in
North Bay League play Thursday, defeating Piner at the
brand new Fairgrounds Course at the Sonoma Race Track,
305-385.
Graham Beard and J.J. McMillen led the way for the
Wildcats, each coming in with a 1-under par score of 57.
“I think everybody played really well,” said Ukiah head
coach Chris Philbrick. “Especially on a course they’d never
seen before.”
The Fairgrounds Course is a nine hole course, and was
forced into use because Piner’s home course is still draining.
Ukiah’s Michael Gaspar didn’t finish much off of his
teammates, coming in with a 59. Max Brazill and Jared Hull
both came in with a score 65 to round out the scoring for the
Wildcats.
Rain has forced Ukiah to postpone its tournament, originally scheduled for April 10, until April 24.

San Francisco’s Moises Alou makes a diving catch
Thursday during the Giants home opener against the
Braves. San Francisco won, 6-4.
SAN FRANCISCO —
Barry Bonds strolled out of
the clubhouse after hardly
taking a swing and hardly
uttering a word, his personal
videographer and teenage son
on his trail.
Three games into the season, no home runs. Then
again, he didn’t have many
chances.
Bonds drew his first two
intentional walks of the season, struck out and grounded
weakly to first Thursday in
the San Francisco Giants’
home opener, a 6-4 win over
the Atlanta Braves.
Bonds saw all of eight
pitches to hit, and 14 total.
He didn’t get the ball out of
the infield.
“Go get iced up,” he said,
making his way through the
crowded room to the trainer’s
table. He didn’t address close
to 50 media members surrounding his corner locker.
Pedro Feliz hit a basesclearing double off the wall
in left-center in a six-run
third and Ray Durham added
a two-run single in the
inning.
“The guys who are hitting
behind Barry are going to be
a little busy,” the Giants’
Omar Vizquel said.
Bonds, who made one
catch in left field, stepped
into the batter’s box in the
bottom of the first inning to
roaring cheers and a standing
ovation from his hometown
fans. Then came the boos —
but this time they weren’t
directed toward the embattled
star.

Dennis tears knee ligaments
LOS
ANGELES
—
Southern California tailback
Hershel Dennis, who entered
spring practice No. 1 on the
depth chart, has torn ligaments in his left knee and is
expected to miss the 2006 season.
Dennis was injured in practice Tuesday, apparently trying to cut on the wet artificial
turf at USC’s Cromwell Field.
Wildcats
Continued from Page A-7
“I’ve been in contact with
all 18 of the teams that were
supposed to come, and 15
have already said they will be
able to make it,” Philbrick
said. “So things look like
they’re going to work out.”
Ukiah will also put its per-
Vijay
the get-go. If you don’t hit
good shots, you’re going to
make a number out there.”
And there were plenty of
those.
A dozen players, young and
old, couldn’t break 80, and at
least eight players had their
worst score ever at the
Masters, including David
Duval (84), Mark O’Meara
(81) and Mark Calcavecchia
(80).
“I didn’t struggle with my
game at all,” Singh said. “I hit
a lot of good iron shots.”
That’s what Johnson wanted when he ordered the latest
round of changes to the
course. He had six holes
lengthened, hopeful that even
the modern player with his
modern equipment would be
hitting similar clubs as
Masters champions did in the
past.
It still was tough, as a
major should be.
Only three players broke
70, and 15 others were under
par. But the scoring average
for the first round — 74.94 —
was a fraction of a stroke
lower than the previous two
years.
“I don’t think anybody will
be unhappy with the way the
course played today,” Retief
Goosen said after a 70, joined
by Phil Mickelson, Tim Clark
and Geoff Ogilvy.
It wasn’t so tough that it
drained the drama. The 12
eagles in the first round were
one short of the record set in
1991.
If there was a discernible
difference, it might have been
long periods of silence while
so many players battled for
par.
“One hole, you could hear
the birds singing away, like
there’s nobody on the course,”
An MRI taken Wednesday
night revealed the damage.
The fifth-year senior tore
ligaments in the same knee in
December 2004, had surgery
the following month, and sat
out last season. USC coach
Pete Carroll said after practice
Thursday that the school
would look into applying for a
sixth year of eligibility for
Dennis. A date wasn’t immediately set for surgery.
Dennis started every game
as a sophomore in 2003 —
ahead of then-freshmen
Reggie Bush and LenDale
White. Dennis was the only
experienced tailback participating in spring practice.
Desmond Reed and Michael
Coleman, who both played as
backups last season, are
recovering from operations —
Reed on a knee and Coleman
on a hip.
fect NBL record on the line at
the tournament, after a bizarre
ending to the Wildcats match
against Cardinal Newman on
March 30 in Ukiah, when play
was suspended with both
teams fifth and sixth golfers
having two holes to play.
The ruling on the match
was that each school would
take all of the golfers scores,
including the 16 holes the five
and six golfers played, figured
out how over par each was,
then threw out the worst score
on 18 for each. After doing so,
both teams were still tied.
Therefore,
Cardinal
Newman and Ukiah’s five and
six golfers will play the last
two holes at the tournament
April 24 to get things evened
out.
Ukiah returns to North Bay
League play Tuesday, hosting
Santa Rosa.
Goosen said. “It’s definitely a
lot quieter out there than you
normally
hear
around
Augusta, besides the one big
cheer we heard. And we obviously all knew that was
Tiger.”
That was about the only
cheer for Woods.
The defending champion
struggled from the start with
two three-putts on his first
four holes — one to make par,
another bogey — and avoiding three others with testy, 5foot putts. His fortunes
appeared to change when he
hit 8-iron from 163 yards on
the 14th hole that landed soft
enough to trickle into the cup,
his first eagle on a par 4 at the
Masters.
But his momentum was
doomed when he laid up on
the par-5 15th short of the
water, and found his ball in a
deep divot.
He tried to smother a sand
wedge, instead, caught it fat
and watched it drop into the
middle of the pond, leading to
double bogey.
“All in all, I thought I could
have got under par today, but
it just didn’t happen,” Woods
said.
But maybe all that sunshine
brought a mirage.
The greens already had a
yellow sheen and were getting
crusty. And with wind in the
forecast for Friday, there was
a feeling that Augusta
National was at its tamest.
“Although we had some
under-par rounds, we also had
perfect
conditions,”
Mickelson said. “The fairways dried out, and we were
able to hit the ball out there,
get to the greens. I’m concerned about tomorrow’s
round with the wind. It’s
going to be rough.”
Even Crenshaw was ready
to concede.
On the 20-year anniversary
of Jack Nicklaus’ last green
jacket, can a 54-year-old win
the Masters?
That was the cue for
Crenshaw to wag his finger
and say, “I have a good feeling
about this,” as he did while
captaining the Ryder Cup
team at Brookline in 1999.
“Doubtful,” he said, laughing. “I’ve had my time here.”
The last time was in 1995,
when he was a pallbearer at
the funeral of longtime
teacher Harvey Penick at the
start of the week, and he was
wearing a green jacket at the
end.
The emotions this week
might lie with Woods, whose
father could not travel to
Augusta for the first time
because of cancer.
Woods said he didn’t speak
with his father before the
round.
“I had enough to worry
about,” Woods said, “trying to
get out there and hit a shot.”

Eagles split with Napa Valley
The Daily Journal
NAPA
–
Mendocino
College split with Napa Valley
College for the second time
this season, and in the process
saw its record move to 8-4 in
Bay Valley Conference softball play.
The Eagles won the first
game, 8-4 in eight innings as
Shylo Rege picked up the
pitching win for Mendocino.
The Eagles exploded for six
runs in the top of the eighth to
seal the victory.
Catcher Brandi McRae
went 4-for-5 for Mendocino
with three RBIs and a triple,
and Rege was 3-for-5 with
two doubles and a run.
Also for the Eagles, Jenn
Carroll was 3-for-5 with three
runs, and Lindsay Ruddick
went 2-for-5.
Jennifer Reardon was the
winning pitcher for The Storm
in the second game, which
also went eight innings, and
ended in bizarre fashion.
With a runner on second in
the bottom of the eighth,
Mendocino shortstop Sadie
Poehlmann fielded a grounder
in the hole, came up throwing
and the Napa Valley runner on
second advancing to third was
hit in the head with
Poehlmann’s throw.
The umpires waved the
runner around to home and
Napa walked away with the
victory.
“I haven’t seen that too
much,” said Mendocino
College head coach Kelvin
Chapman. “We made a few
mistakes in the second game
taht we had a hard time overcoming.”

Mattern paces Wildcats
The Daily Journal
SANTA ROSA – The
Ukiah boys and girls swimming teams took to the pool
on Thursday at Montgomery,
with the boys coming out on
top with a convincing victory,
and the girls falling in the last
race.
On the boys side, Tucker
Mattern stole the show again
with an impressive outing in
the 100 breast as Ukiah scored
100 points to the Vikings 61.
Mattern finished with a time
of 1:03.23.
“It’s not an automatic time,
but it’s a very strong consideration time for NCS,” said
Ukiah head coach Lee
Panttaja.
Travis Cleland won both
the 200 free and the 500 free
for Ukiah, and Collin Phenicie
won the 50 free and 100 free
for the Wildcats. Jeremy
Pollard won the 100 back for
Ukiah.
Panttaja singled out Miles
Oswald’s performance in the
500 free, where he came in
fourth.
“By taking fourth Miles
improved his time significantly,” Oswald said. “ He really
swam a tough race.”
Amanda
Sims
led
Montgomery to a 92-88 win
over Ukiah on the girls side.
Sims won the 100 fly, 200
free, and swam on one of the
400 free relay teams that gave
the Vikings their slim margin
of victory in the last race.
Sims has the fourth-fastest
time in the nation in the 100
fly this season
“They had to take first and
third in the last race to beat us,
and they pulled it off,”
Panttaja said. “Still, I thought
we swam a great meet.”
Abby Mulvihill won the
500 free for Ukiah, and Katie
Bishop won the 100 free.
The Ukiah 200 free relay
team of Bishop, Mulvihill,
Whitley Sassen, and Elley
Cannon also took first.
Mulvihill was also the
anchor on the 400 free relay.
The Wildcats return home
Tuesday to host Elsie Allen.
Kings hope success translates
SACRAMENTO — If the
Sacramento Kings hold on to
the eighth and final playoff
berth
in
the
Western
Conference, they could face
the defending champion San
Antonio Spurs in the opening
round.
While that might be scary
for some teams considering
the Spurs own the best record
(58-17) in the Western
Conference and have lost only
five homes games all year, the
Kings might feel differently
based on how they matched
up in the regular season.
Giants
calling for an intentional
walk, and Bonds casually
headed to first and out came
the rubber chickens for the
first time. It paid off for the
Braves when Moises Alou
grounded into an inning-ending double play.
Then in the third, Bonds
came up to chants of “Barry!
Barry!” with Durham on first
after his single tied the game
at 2.
With a 2-0 count following
two inside pitches by Jorge
Sosa (0-1), Braves manager
Bobby Cox called for another
free pass. This time, Alou singled in the go-ahead run to
make it 3-2.
“That’s going to be very
important,” Alou said. “I didn’t come through the first
time. I was hoping to get
another opportunity and I got
a base hit to start the rally. ...
We have to do that a lot this
year to take the pressure off
Barry.”
The 41-year-old Bonds,
third on the home run list with
708 and seven from passing
Babe Ruth, already has three
walks this season. The seventime NL MVP is facing more
Sacramento caught the
Spurs by surprise Wednesday,
building a 16-point lead heading into the fourth quarter and
cruising to a 97-87 victory. It
was only the seventh home
loss in the last 90 games for
San Antonio.
Despite the victory and two
narrow losses to the Spurs earlier in the season, Kings coach
Rick Adelman is not plotting
strategy for a probable playoff
matchup just yet.
“I don’t even want to think
about that, we need to get
there (the playoffs) first,”
Adelman said. “Who does
match up well with them —
Detroit?”
In a Nov. 11 game at Arco
Arena, the Spurs withstood
Mike Bibby’s 14 fourth quarter points, squandering a big
lead but hanging on for the
96-93 win. Michael Finley hit
a buzzer-beater to save the
Spurs in the next meeting.
The third and final regular
season meeting was all
Sacramento.
The Kings took the lead for
good late in the first quarter
and built the margin to double
figures by scoring the first 10
points of the second.
steroids scrutiny than ever
after last month’s release of
“Game of Shadows,” a book
detailing Bonds’ alleged longtime regimen for using performance-enhancing drugs.
But they still love him in
San Francisco’s ballpark by
the bay.
Bonds’ son, Nikolai, and
Hall of Famers Orlando
Cepeda, Willie McCovey and
Willie Mays — Bonds’ godfather — were on hand for the
festivities. The slugger’s
daughter, Aisha, stood on her
seat in the stands several rows
up from the field and smiled
and clapped when Bonds was
introduced.
He tipped his cap and
waved in all directions.
Manager Felipe Alou
expected Bonds to be in the
lineup again Friday night.
McCann and Sosa hit backto-back homers in the third for
the Braves, the first career
homer for Sosa. Brian Jordan
homered in the ninth off Tim
Worrell, who earned his second save in as many chances.
Giants starter Noah Lowry
left in the second inning with
a strained muscle in his lower
back. The left-hander was
scheduled to be re-evaluated
Friday.
Lowry grabbed his right
side after throwing a 1-2 pitch
to Jordan. Giants catcher
Mike Matheny headed to the
mound and then called for
head trainer Stan Conte.
Lowry, 13-13 with a 3.78
ERA last year, had his first
start delayed a day because of
rain in San Diego. Rookie
Matt Cain was originally set
to start the Giants’ home
opener. Cain will start Friday
night’s game instead.
Lowry, who signed a new
four-year contract on Sunday,
was the only member of the
Giants rotation not to miss a
start last year. Jeff Fassero (10) replaced Lowry, finished
the strikeout to Jordan and
pitched 3 2-3 innings for the
victory.
Randy Winn’s leadoff single for the Giants ended an 0for-9 streak to start the season.
Braves pitcher Kenny Ray
struck out Bonds to start the
seventh after being called up
from Triple-A Richmond earlier in the day. Cox wanted
Ray to face Bonds because the
pitcher had a successful
spring against lefty hitters.
“You’re talking about a
player who’s probably going
to hit a few home runs off
me,” Ray said. “It’s just one of
those things. Of course you’re
aware of it. The guy is a Hall
of Famer. I’m happy with the
way it turned out.”

Heisman trophy winner
says he hasn’t asked
Texans if they’ll take him
with top pick
By KRISTIE RIEKEN
HOUSTON — Reggie Bush hasn’t asked
the Houston Texans whether they will use the
No. 1 overall pick in the draft to choose him,
but he’s 99.9 percent certain he’ll go first.
The double-talk was dizzying during the
Heisman Trophy-winning running back’s
first visit to Houston on Thursday to meet
with coaches and players.
“I haven’t directly asked them that question,” Bush said. “They haven’t really told
me anything directly other than the fact that
they’re excited for this upcoming draft and
that they’re excited for me to be a Texan.”
The mixed signals came even before Bush
arrived at a news conference that concluded
his visit in Houston. Team officials hesitated
before letting him stand in front of the backdrop covered in team logos for the event.
Bush, who Texans officials saw work out
Sunday at Southern California’s pro day, said
Thursday’s discussions were productive and
included what his role would be.
“Similar to the way I was used at Southern
Cal,” he said. “Being established as a running
back first and then splitting out wide playing
a little receiver and returning punts and kicks.
So pretty much the same.”
At Sunday’s workout, Bush ran the 40yard dash in 4.33 seconds and had a 40 1/2inch vertical jump, a standing broad jump of
10-8 1/2 and 24 repetitions bench-pressing
225 pounds.
The Texans are keeping quiet about the top
draft pick. Coach Gary Kubiak didn’t answer
questions about Bush during a separate news
conference earlier on the 2006 schedule.
Bush, who ran for 1,685 yards and 15
touchdowns last season, said he would like to
end up in Houston.
“There’s the challenge of bringing a championship to Houston,” he said. “Playing for
Coach Kubiak and the new coaching staff. It
seems like they have nothing but high expectations for this season and the upcoming seasons.”
Bush said wherever he goes, he hopes to
get contract negotiations handled quickly so
he doesn’t miss any time in camp.
“I would hope I could start as soon as possible,” he said. “Something I’m looking forward to is being in camp on time. I think that
would be a huge factor in me getting in

owned by the Houston Texans.
early.”
Agent Joel Segal said he hasn’t had any
contract conversations with the Texans but
also wants to get a deal done early.
“It would be great to have a contract done
before the draft. That’s the ultimate,” he said.
In 2002, the Texans announced they would
make quarterback David Carr the No. 1 pick
two weeks before the draft and finished negotiations before draft day.
No one is expecting that this year, and the
Texans haven’t ruled out the possibility of
trading out of the top pick.
Bush said he isn’t concerned about backlash from Texans fans who want the team to
draft former Texas quarterback Vince Young.
Young, scheduled to work out for the Texans
on Friday, grew up in Houston and led the
Longhorns to a 41-38 victory and a national
championship over Bush and the Trojans in
the Rose Bowl.
Texans fans have said they want Young.
“I would hope it wouldn’t turn out that
way,” Bush said. “I would hope that the city
would welcome me with open arms. I know
the fans want him to come here. But it’s not
the fans’ choice.
“It’s the choice of the program and the
coaches.”

Prayer study is questionable
Recently I read a
Associated Press national
article in the Journal regarding that a recent study found
that praying for heart surgery
patients had no effect. The
headline stunned me. No, it
actually infuriated me, which
is hard to do. How dare anyone in this country tamper
with anyone’s belief that
praying will help those in
medical crisis?
At first glance it sounded
like more propaganda from
the mysterious coalition that
is trying to get God off the
face of our money, out of the
schools, out of everything -with the goal that eventually
this nation, which was founded on religious principles will
be void of faith of any kind,
thereby weakening its unity.
Then I sat back, and
thought, “Oh, boy, that
sounds paranoid!” and decided to read the article again
objectively looking for the
following answers to: Who
completed this survey? How
many people participated in
it? How was the data collected? How does one show the
world that prayer, a very private and intimate conversation with a higher being, is
not being heard and
answered?
The article says that the
$2.4 million study was funded by the Templeton
Foundation, which, when I
researched the Foundation on
the internet, is considered
quite controversial by leading
members of the American
Association for the
Advancement of Science
because 1) Templeton’s mission is to link science and
religion, and 2) Templeton’s
funding of questionable
groups such as the ACLU’s
Freedom Project.
The study was conducted
by two doctors, a cardiologist
at Baptist Medical Center,
and another at Harvard
Medical School. 1800 cardiac
patients were tested in six
medical centers. One-third
knew they were being prayed
for, another third thought it
was a possibility that they
were prayed for, and the last
third knew they were not
prayed for, but were told it
was a possibility.
The prayers were given for
two weeks beginning the
night before surgery. Results
of the study showed that
patients who are prayed for
do not do as well as those
that are not prayed for. Fifty
nine percent who knew they
were being prayed for had
complications and 52 percent
who were told that there was
a possibility did not. This

lengthy article is being printed in papers all over the
world, and will soon be published in the American Heart
Journal.
The doctor is quoted as
saying, “We cannot come to
any conclusion, except to say
that .....this is what we
found.” Now I ask you, is
that weak bit of information
worthy of such mass distribution? If so, what is the real
purpose, or to use a buzz
phrase, “the hidden agenda”?
In this article the researcher
said that family members and
friends should not be discouraged from telling a patient
about their plans to pray for a
good recovery. Is that a disclaimer?
I admit, I am an advocate
for prayer. I also believe in
visualization, affirmations
and relaxation exercises to
promote healing, and positive
thinking. I trust that good
thoughts sent out to the universe, atmosphere, heavens,
whatever you want to call it,
are not just dismissed out of
hand.
Team spirit, concentration
and focusing on the goal, for
example, has proven over and
over to inspire people to
achieve feats that were
unthought of before.
Visualization techniques for
cancer patients is documented
and proven and has cured
thousand of patients for many
years. No one knows why the
brain readily accepts this positive information and changes
things. It just does. It is, I
suspect, a miracle.
Motivation is a strong
advocate for success. If you
think you can, you can. It all
comes from the mind. Prayer
is a signal from the mind
which has miraculous capabilities. Why is the concept
that putting minds together to
achieve one specific goal, the
healing of a sick person, so
hard to believe? Is it because
prayer is directed to a higher
being?
I’ve gone through my
share of surgeries in the past
seven years. In each one, I
have asked the surgeon or a

present CERT program
The Community Emergency Response
Team program was developed in California in
the mid-80’s as a way to train people to better
prepare for emergency situations in their communities. Since then, it has become a national
model for helping people respond to emergencies. When emergencies happen, CERT members can give critical support to first responders, provide immediate assistance to victims,
and organize spontaneous volunteers at a disaster site. CERT members can also help with
non-emergency projects that improve the safety of the community.
CERT training classes include disaster preparedness, disaster fire suppression, basic disaster medical operations and light search and
rescue operations. The target audience for the
first course will be individuals throughout the
city who are interested in putting together
teams within their neighborhoods.
These free courses will be offered during the
month of April at the City of Ukiah Fire
Department, 300 Seminary Ave. in Ukiah. For
more information and a class schedule, call
Fire Chief Kurt Latipow at 463-6263. To register, call Cindy Stanford at 463-6261.

As a result, I go into

kind thoughts before, during
and after my surgery. I know

demonstrate how liability, fire

The public has previously
expressed concern over the
proposed trail due to its proximity to the golf course and
Maple Avenue, but city staff
said the trail included sufficient mitigations.
In terms of the larger issue
of the Western Hills zoning
regulations, the council
directed staff to schedule
another joint meeting with the
Planning
Commission.
Several
Planning
Commissioners had previously requested another joint
meeting on the issue, since the
City Council lacked a quorum
at the previous one.
Councilmember
Phil
Baldwin expressed a concern
that an additional joint meeting might delay the process,
but the majority of council
members expressed the
belief that the joint meeting
might streamline the process
by allowing direct communication between the council
and commission.
A tentative date was set for
the regularly scheduled
Planning Commission meeting of April 26.
In news that should help
ensure a quorum, Mayor
Mark Ashiku said he received
a verbal report from the Fair
Political
Practices
Commission that he did not
have a conflict of interest. An
opinion in writing is expected
within about two weeks.
On more technical matters,
the City Council discussed
various water issues, including Mendocino’s Peregrine

the agencies failing to act on
applications for water diversion concerning agricultural
and municipal water users.
The agencies were also
cited for failing to investigate
and prevent unauthorized
water diversions, with negative consequences for fish and
wildlife values, and also for
authorized water users.
Under the current system,
which officials said seems to
encourage
unauthorized
diversions, it’s difficult to
determine what water is available and if there is enough to
satisfy authorized water
diverters. Councilmembers
will wait for stakeholders to
meet in an effort to agree to a
workable system before considering action.
The council also discussed
a draft proposal by the
Mendocino County Water

agreed to cooperate by making available relevant information from the well-siting

The award to Thurston

“The Thurston family has

“In addition, another irreplaceable sponsor that our

Ukiah Main Street also recognizes a Downtown Business

year to Ragamuffin, the children’s clothing store that just
reopened on South State

To receive this award, a
business must be recognized
for outstanding contributions
to the overall success of the

they must provide quality

service, and they will have
earned a reputation as a business with integrity and success.

“We’re anticipating much
less of an impact from the
coming storm,” said Elizabeth
Morse, chief meteorologist for
the
National
Weather
Service’s Sacramento office.
“It’s more a matter of people
being just soooo tired of the
gray skies and the water.”
results of the autopsy and the
toxicology reports before
making a final determination
on the cause of death.
Smallcomb said he did not
believe Talamo’s death was a
suicide. The case remains
under investigation.
This is the second tragedy
to strike the Talamo family in
recent years. In 2003, 13year-old David Talamo
drowned during a school
swim class at the city pool.
The Talamo family settled its
lawsuit with the Ukiah
Unified School District’s
insurers for $3.4 million in
December of last year.

river on the Sierra’s western
slope, crested at 13.4 feet
Tuesday evening, the first
time since 1958 the river has
reached flood stage in April.
That “gives you an idea of
the magnitude and quirkiness
of this event,” said Andy
Morin, river forecaster with
the California Nevada River
Forecast Center.
The biggest concern is the
San Joaquin River basin -where, unlike the Sacramento

Politicians join forces in attempt to push
through compromise immigration bill
WASHINGTON (AP) — Putting aside party differences,
Senate Republicans and Democrats coalesced Thursday around
compromise legislation that holds out the hope of citizenship to
an estimated 11 million immigrants living in the United States
unlawfully.
“We can no longer afford to delay reform,” said Sens. John
McCain and Edward M. Kennedy in a statement that capped
weeks of struggle to find common ground.
President Bush said he was pleased with the developments
and urged the Senate to pass legislation by week’s end.
But the emerging compromise drew fire from both ends of
the political spectrum. Conservative Sen. John Cornyn, RTexas, likened it to an amnesty bill that cleared Congress in
1986, while AFL-CIO President John Sweeney said it threatened to “drive millions of hardworking immigrants further into
the shadows of American society, leaving them vulnerable to
exploitation.”
Top Shiite religious figure may be best
hope for political deal in Iraq
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) — Iraq’s embattled prime minister
vowed Thursday to pursue his bid for a second term despite
pressure from home and abroad to step down, signaling no early
end to the standoff blocking a crucial national unity government.
Shiite politicians suggested they may turn to Grand Ayatollah
Ali al-Sistani, the sole figure with the authority to make a decision that risks shattering Shiite unity.
In a brutal reminder of the stakes if Iraqi leaders cannot
reverse the slide toward chaos, a car bomb exploded Thursday
in the country’s most sacred Shiite city, Najaf, killing 10 people
and wounding more than 30.

She’s a Man
WASHINGTON (AP) — With a grand jury investigating and
little support from House colleagues, Rep. Cynthia McKinney
reversed course and apologized Thursday for an altercation in
which she entered a Capitol building unrecognized, refused to
stop when asked by a police officer and then hit him. “I am
sorry that this misunderstanding happened at all and I regret its
escalation, and I apologize,” McKinney, D-Ga., said.

McKinney apologizes for scuffle
with Capitol Police officer
Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari told reporters he would
relinquish his mandate only if parliament refuses to approve
him or if the seven groups within the Shiite alliance withdraw
their nomination, which he won by a single vote in a caucus in
February.
The Shiite bloc controls 130 of the 275 parliament seats,
enough for first crack at the prime minister’s job but not enough
to govern without Sunni and Kurdish partners. But the Sunnis
and Kurds demand that al-Jaafari be replaced, blaming him for
the sharp rise in sectarian tensions that threatens to plunge the
country into civil war.

Review: ‘Fiddler’ is entertainment at its finest
By CAROLE HESTER
Special for the Journal
It charms you, it wins you, you laugh, you cry. You’re
immediately drawn in to this wonderful musical with that
great opening song, “Tradition.”
There are so many things, ranging from the beautiful
direction to the magnificent performances to the impressive
design, that stand out in watching “Fiddler on the Roof.”
This is an award-winning musical with a stellar cast,
orchestra and technical team, a collaborative production by
Mendocino College Theatre Arts Department, with Ukiah
Civic Light Opera. The show plays through April 9 at the
Mendocino College Center Theatre. This production is a
tribute to the high caliber of talent in Mendocino County.
The show featured amazing performances from the entire
cast and was so simply emotionally touching and charming.
The audience was mesmerized. The show struck a quiet
chord that continued with the reviewer well after the final
bows.
The story takes place in 1905 in the small Russian village
of Anatevka. Tevye (Topol), a poor Jewish dairyman, Golde
his wife, and their daughters -- who want their own will and
way to marry for love, rather than as arranged by the matchmaker. “Fiddler” tells the life-affirming story of Tevye, a
poor milkman whose love, pride and faith help him face the
oppression of turn-of-the century czarist Russia (based on
stories of Sholem Aleichem).
“Fiddler on the Roof” is a universal story of hope, love
and acceptance. This musical is a stunning, joyful and jubilant musical masterpiece and not to be missed.
In addition to those on stage, another of the show’s major
assets is its atmosphere and the consistency it has achieved
in tone and feel. All the elements work in unity, and, for
this, director Reid Edelman deserves enormous credit. The
entire performance was a perfect tapestry, woven with
strong and vibrant voices under the direction of vocal
teacher Marilyn Simpson. The orchestra was the perfect
partner for the songs and dances, expertly directed by Les
Pfutzenreuter.
Susan Era and Leslie Saxon West used choreography not
just for the sake of movement, but also to expertly express
characterization. Their great imagination was carried out by
the dancers with expert precision.
Superb staging and canny casting kept the audience
drawn into the story. The technical backup -- an integral part
of any show, that can “make or break” the success of a show,
was top notch, and under the direction of Larry L. Lang. The
marvelous sets and actors literally flow through the proceedings with grace and style.
John Beatty, of Sol Dial Sound, once again performed his
masterly wizardry with keeping everyone’s voices heard.
Costumes were designed by Kathy Dingman-Katz and property design and set dressing by Sasha Oaks.
The cast was uniformly outstanding in performing the
musical’s artfulness and beauty so capably. Every scene was
so strong and masterly performed that audience members
were captivated and frankly, wondering which scene would
be a favorite.
Those great songs, beloved by so many, “If I Were A Rich
Man,” (a personal favorite of this reviewer watching Tevye,
played by the inimitable Rick Allan); “Matchmaker;”
“Sabbath Prayer” -- very worshipful and tender.
The “To Life” toasting song was robust, hearty and fun,
featuring the male ensemble and Russians, dancing and
singing their way through an evening of drinking.
The heart-touching melody of “Sunrise, Sunset” had the
audience humming along. The poignant question song, “Do
You Love Me?” by Tevye and Golde (Allan and Susan
Byers) was poignant and tenderly presented. “Anatevka,” a
haunting song at the end of the play captures the essence of
the Jewish people as they are forced from their homes to
once again roam the earth and find new dwellings.
What would “Fiddler on the Roof” be without a fiddler?
Ivory Reid presented a strong thread throughout the show
and her dancing was stellar
as she “fiddled” her way through the scenes.
The main role of Tevye, a man who regularly holds conversations with God about his plight in life, is pivotal to this
show and a perfect venue to showcase Allan’s talent. Every
gesture, every nuance every note and every interpretation of
musical phrase was a perfect delivery of the very clever and
often funny lyrics. He was charming and lovable and funny,
helped you to see “on the one hand,” and then “on the other
hand” as he worked through life’s dilemmas.
Byers’ (Golde) classical musical training helped her present a very strong vocal performance. She was wonderfully
sardonic but equally as talented in her comedic moments
with Tevye.
The couple’s eldest daughters were a delight and carried
their roles beautifully: Tzeitel (KC Dill), Hodel (Kaleena
Quarles) and Chava (Susan Haynes). Other daughters were
Shprintze (Herron Spence), Tevye’s fourth daughter, and
Bielke (Melany Katz), his fifth daughter.
Yente, the matchmaker, is the funny counterpart to the
serious portions of the show and Bella Feldman was a perfect match to the role.
Ian Parmenter was a very strong supporting role as Motel,
the tailor. His voice was lovely and clear as he provided
great music.
Carlin Fuerst played Perchik, a student.
The Rev. Larry Ballenger was a huge delight as Lazar

Answer: When the mogul forgot his wife’s birthday,
he — “PAID” FOR IT
4/6/2006
Wife should find other things to fill the void of husband’s absence
Dear Annie: My husband, “Jim,” works for
the federal government. Between his work
obligations and his horrible daily commute, I
expect him to be gone 60 hours per week.
However, week after week, he is away from
home 80 to 90 hours. He doesn’t receive overtime when he works more hours, so he “volunteers” an average of 20 hours every week.
Jim has high ambitions for an early promotion so that we can someday afford to live closer to his job. On the one hand, I am grateful for
his hard work, as it allows me to stay home
with our infant son. On the other hand, I find
myself chronically sad that my husband
always chooses to be away from home when
we need and want him around.
Jim tells me that he has to work all those
extra hours, but I used to work for the same
employers, and I know full well that they
would not require an employee to work so
much additional time. Of course, nor will they
argue with someone who chooses to do so of
ANNIE’S MAILBOX
By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
his own accord.
I have asked Jim if his regular 20-hour volunteering could be a way to avoid his family,
but he insists it isn’t. He says he’s simply trying to improve our lives. I am certain the only
people who notice just how much Jim works
are our son and I. His supervisors leave the
office long before Jim walks out, and they
rarely go in on weekends, as Jim does.
Please tell me how to tolerate my husband’s
absence. Talking doesn’t help, and he’s too
busy for counseling. -- Missing Him in
California
Dear Missing Him: Has Jim heard the
well-known axiom that no man on his

deathbed ever wished he’d spent more time at
the office? We assume you have no reason to
think Jim is cheating, and that he’s just a
workaholic. So, fill your time. Look for momtot activities through your pediatrician’s office,
community centers, church, neighbors and
friends. Hire a baby sitter, and meet your girlfriends for lunch.
Insist that Jim set aside as much time as he
can for the family, but face it, some people are
just too busy making a living to make a life.
Dear Annie: Last year, you did a great job
bringing up awareness of Lyme disease, and I
hope you will mention it again as we enter
warmer weather.
Lyme disease is carried by deer ticks that
can infect humans. In the early stages, it can be
treated and cured. If it isn’t treated properly, it
will spread to the joints, nervous system and
organs. Symptoms can include a red rash
(especially near the tick bite), flu-like symptoms or joint pains.
Unfortunately, a lot of people don’t even
realize they’ve been bitten by a tick. And did
you know that fewer than 50 percent of all
chronic Lyme patients have the distinctive
bull’s-eye rash, the symptom most doctors
expect to see? Lyme disease can be treated easily with antibiotics, but if it is not properly
diagnosed, it can affect you the rest of your
life. -- D.D.
Dear D.D.: Thank you for alerting our readers to the dangers of Lyme disease.
Those enjoying the outdoors should avoid
areas where ticks live. Wear light-colored,
long-sleeved shirts, long pants, high socks
(with pants tucked into the socks) and closed
shoes or boots. Apply DEET to clothing. For
more information, contact the American Lyme
Disease Foundation Inc. (www.aldf.com), 293
Route 100, Somers, N.Y. 10589.
Dear Annie: This is a response to “Single,
Lonely Guy in Jerzee.” You suggested one way
to meet people is to volunteer for political candidates. Annie, this was the source of all the
turmoil in the movie “Taxi Driver.” It’s bound
to end in a bloody massacre. -- Agitated Cave
Dweller in Indiana
Dear Agitated: Hardee har har. Go back to
your cave. The bats miss you.
