Mayor hires new lawyer; trial delayed
By SETH FREEDLAND
The Daily Journal
Mayor Mark Ashiku has changed
attorneys for his historic-home demolition case and in so doing moved his
jury trial, most recently set for next
week, to July 17.
Susan B. Jordan, a Ukiah attorney,
will replace Santa Rosa-based Steve
Gallenson in the clearest sign that a
settlement between Ashiku and the
city is unlikely.
The trial, originally scheduled for
Jan. 23, was continued to March and
again to April 10, after Gallenson told
Judge David Nelson an out-of-court
resolution was close. But on March
28, Jordan notified the court of the
change in counsel and Deputy
District Attorney Brian Newman,
stating there was no settlement pending, asked that the April 10 date
remain.
That issue was settled on Tuesday,
when Jordan told Nelson she had
received the case file one day earlier.
Nelson ruled over strong objections

NEW VOTING MACHINE PUT THROUGH ITS PACES
Demo on Diebold
By SETH FREEDLAND
The Daily Journal
Dozens of Diebold touchscreen
voting machines will arrive in
Mendocino County this week, but
a Daily Journal peek at a pre-sent
device Wednesday may allay some
of the loudest concerns.
County Clerk-Recorder Marsha
Wharff said the most asked question of her staff has focused on the
voting accuracy and security, with
Diebold machine qualms making
state and national headlines.
But Wharff’s demonstration of
the security functions covered
many of the most popular concerns. The memory cards are
sealed in an unpenetrable storage
unit. A paper report on the voter’s
selections, to verify accuracy, is
visible underneath a plastic slab
on the machine’s right side. The
machines themselves are unhackable because nobody has access to
them, Wharff avowed.
Most importantly to those nervous over electronic voting, all
residents will receive an old-fashioned paper ballot to vote -- with
usage of the touchscreens only
going to those who specifically
request them.
A staffer in the clerk’s office is
currently recording the entire ballot to allow voters with poor eyesight the ability to hear their
options though headphones. When
this option is selected, a telephone-style keypad is available

explained Richard E. Hubel,
vice president of West, Yost

the report with the help of

“This kind of thing is normal,” Hubel said. “(The information is) part of water supply planning for water systems in California.”

Hubel pointed out, the city
could enact an existing emergency ordinance, that is, an
emergency scaleback in water

Russian River landowners aided by new program
By BEN BROWN
The Daily Journal
Landowners who want to give back
to the environment will find the application process for planning programs
at the Natural Resources Conservation
Service more efficient, thanks to the
successful results of a pilot program.
NRCS helps farmers and landowners create plans and find money to
manage soil erosion, air quality,
wildlife habitat and other environmental problems on their land. However,
soil conservationist Carol Mandel,
who works in the NRCS Ukiah office,
said in recent years NRCS has wandered from its roots as a planning and
education organization.
“We are trying to show Washington
the value of using staff time for planning,” Mandel said
“Planning is the cornerstone of

experienced a “miracle March,”
with snow packs and water content
that are above normal, said U.S.
Forest Service hydrologist Bob
Faust.
Measurements taken at the end
of March showed an average snow
depth of 90 inches, with a water
content of 32 inches. Both of these
measurements are approximately
135 percent above average for the
month of March, which is 65 inch-

water content.
“From last month’s March 1
survey, snow depth increased 50
inches and water content a whopping 19 inches,” Faust said.
When the snow survey was
taken Feb. 1, both snow depth and
water content were only 75 percent

“We needed a miracle March to

“Then it started snowing March 2,

This is not the first time this has

usage that goes beyond normal conservation.
How far beyond is illustrated by figures indicating consumers would lose almost
three-quarters of their ordinary water supply during a
worst-case drought. At that
rate, Hubel said, water use
would probably be limited to
health and safety needs.
Specifically, according to
the report, there is a worstcase water supply deficit of
650 acre-feet per year. The
report then pegs the current
annual average water demand
among the city’s water customers at 886 acre-feet a year.
Worst case, then, means customers would have only about
236 acre-feet of water, roughly 27 percent of the amount
they ordinarily use.
The point of the study is to
facilitate planning, Hubel
stressed.
The most expedient solution, according to the report, is
a combination of conservation
and implementing a groundwater supply. In other words:
dig wells. Hubel says the
wells are anticipated to be
highly productive.
The Little Lake Valley
groundwater aquifer is deepest along the centerline of
Little Lake Valley, just east of
the city. The State of
California Department of
Water Resources did studies

there in the past and determined there was ample
groundwater.
With active conservation
measures in place and a wellbuilding investment of about
$7 million, the study predicts,
the city will be able to meet
existing need under all conditions and support anticipated
growth until the year 2025.
The study points out the well
digging could be phased in to
keep pace with growth, making the cost a regular budget
item, rather than an emergency expenditure.
On the other hand, the well
water will probably have to be
treated for the removal of naturally-occurring
contaminants, a process that will add
to the total bill.
Growth estimates based on
existing land use designations
and related allowable density
predict a population of 7,654
by 2025. That’s 2,581 more
people than were counted here
in the 2000 census, a population growth of 66 percent.
Between 1990 and 2000, by
contrast, the city grew only
one-tenth of 1 percent.
Not only is the population
growing, but individual consumption of water may be
growing as well. Between
1985 and 1998, water consumption fluctuated between
146 and 160 gallons per person per day. In 1999 and 2000,
per person consumption rose
to 166 and 168 gallons per
day.
According to Hubel, these
consumption rates and the
year-to-year variability are

determined because the actual
population won’t be counted
until the next census.
Whether or not the turn-ofthe-millenium increase in
water usage is the beginning
of a trend, the report’s recommendations for residential
properties include low-flow
toilets and showerheads, more
efficient washing machines,
and efficient irrigation system
controls for outdoor water
use. The city could monitor

For private and public landscaping, the report suggests
separate irrigation meters, climate-appropriate plant choices, and water efficient irrigation systems.

Moussaoui judge OKs first public
playing of cockpit tape from 9/11 crash
ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) — The cockpit recording from
the hijacked jetliner that passengers tried to retake on Sept. 11
will be played in public for the first time — at the sentencing
trial of al-Qaida conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui — the judge
ruled Wednesday.
U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema said the jury considering whether to execute Moussaoui could hear the recording
from United Airlines Flight 93 and see a transcript of it.
The flight is best known for one passenger’s rallying cry to
other passengers, “Let’s roll,” which was overheard over a cell
phone connection between a passenger and a family member on
the ground.
This cockpit tape was played privately April 18, 2002, for
the families of Flight 93 victims, but it has never been played
in public.
Couric heads to evening news as poll
shows viewers prefer her in the morning
NEW YORK (AP) — Now that Katie Couric is making the
move from dawn to dusk, her legacy and the future of CBS
News depends on an audience that, according to a new poll,
prefers to see her in the morning.
Asked if they would rather see Couric in her longtime role as
“Today” host or as the first woman to anchor a network weekday evening newscast on her own, 49 percent favored the morning and 29 percent said evening, according to a poll conducted
this week by The Associated Press and TV Guide.
After 15 years as morning television’s queen, Couric confirmed Wednesday that she is leaving NBC’s “Today” show to
become anchor and managing editor of the “CBS Evening
News” this fall. Her audience at “Today” is about 6 million
viewers; “CBS Evening News” has about 7.5 million.
Migrant smugglers expect business
to boom in face of U.S. crackdown
DOLORES HIDALGO, Mexico (AP) — Barely 18, Jose
belongs to Mexico’s new generation of migrant smugglers —
young, savvy and happy to see Uncle Sam further tighten border security.
Why? It’s good for business, he says.
Jose figures more migrants will seek his help if the U.S.
Senate approves legislation to double the Border Patrol and put
up a virtual wall of unmanned vehicles, cameras and sensors to
monitor the 2,000-mile border with Mexico.
Border experts say the price for helping Mexicans move
north has quadrupled from $300 to $1,200 since 1994, when the
U.S. last tightened the rules. Cases are coming to light of smugglers making $1 million or more. And Jose reckons the earnings
will rise yet higher if new obstacles go up.
“This is never going to end,” he said. “The United States
cannot work without Mexicans.”
Jose is a lanky, baby-faced teen in a baseball cap who says
he started smuggling people late last year and made $16,000 in
his first three months. His mother worries, but needs the money
— Jose was making $53 a week cutting lettuce.

In Washington state, where

high impact fees are unable to

response to that and the rapid

requires cities to draw growth
boundaries beyond which

for discipline when it was needed, for
teaching and showing us the
importance of a strong faith and most

Review: ‘Fiddler’ is
entertainment at its finest
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-ofthe 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.

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 DingmanKatz 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.

Ukiah Players Theater
unveils a world premiere
beginning April 13.
“Drooling Pianos” is a new
play by Andrew Kircher,
directed by Phyllis
Bluestein, and featuring
Spencer Brewer and Ed
Reinhart.
In this musical play, 50
years have passed since the
original 1969 Woodstock
music festival, yet the surviving members of The
Baseless Assumptions
remember that day like it
was yesterday. They don’t
remember the music, the
dancing, or even the free
love -- because they never
made it to Woodstock.
Still, each of them owes
all of their successes and
failures in part to those
infamous August days, and
not one can let go of what
they once were. Now, in
2019, a connection to those
lost days appears, stirring
up memories and music.
The “Drooling Pianos”
cast includes Spencer
Brewer, Ed Reinhart,
Dawn Senften, Jason
Davis, Hannah Squire,
Gene Stewart, and Bunny
Edwards.”Drooling
Pianos” runs April 13
through April 29,
Thursdays at 7 p.m.
Fridays and Saturdays at
8 p.m., with a 2 p.m. matinee on Sunday, April 23 .
Tickets are available
through Mendocino Book

Ukiah Symphony to play
Dvorak, Chopin and R. Strauss
The Daily Journal
The weekend before Mother’s Day,
Ukiah Symphony will play American
music from Bohemia-born Dvorak,,
French music from Polish Chopin, and
German music from Bavarian Richard
Strauss. Concerts are Saturday, May 6
at 8 p.m., and Sunday, May 7, at 3 p.m.
Ukiah’s outstanding local pianist,
Elizabeth MacDougall, will play
Chopin’s Piano Concerto No. 2 in f
minor. Composed in 1830 when Chopin
was only 19, this concerto reflects the
subtlety and intimacy of his style that
set him apart from all other composers
for the piano. He was quoted as saying
the piece “is far too original, and I shall
end up by not being able to learn it
myself.” First and foremost a pianist, in
this concerto Chopin relegates the
orchestra to a discreet support for the
soloist, as was customary in many early
Romantic concerti. Opening with a
Maestoso, the first movement employs a
long musical statement by the orchestra
before the soloist enters. The second
movement, Larghetto, is full of beautiful voice-like songs and coloratura
operatic flights. Closing with Allegro
vivace, the music has a slight Polish
mazurka rhythm, with simplified form
and melody.
Richard Strauss (1864-1949) wrote
the Wind Serenade op. 7 in 1881, when
he was only 17, early revealing the
mature Strauss. This 10-minute single
movement work is in traditional sonata
form, with the lyrical main theme being
presented quietly at the beginning by
the oboe accompanied by clarinets and
bassoons. The second theme, built from
short phrases, is more sprightly in
nature. The development section adds
some chromaticism to the freshness of
the exposition and in the recapitulation,
the earlier themes are recalled and the
Serenade ends with sweet sonority.
Filled with soaring passion, dramaticism
and lyricism, this serenade is among the
few masterpieces of large wind chamber
music repertory.
One of our most beloved American
symphonies was written by Bohemian
(Czech) Antonin Dvorak (1841-1904).
Dvorak was the most noted of Czech
composers, a violist and composer with
a major output of orchestral and chamber music. With an admiration for composers such as Mozart, Beethoven, and
Brahms, Dvorak used the harmonic
structure and rhythms of his native
Bohemia to create a romantic and highly original type of classical music. From
1873 to the late 1880s, Dvorak composed, taught, and traveled Europe performing his compositions.
In 1891, Jeanette Thurber, who had
established the National Conservatory
of Music in New York to further the
careers of promising African-American
musicians, sponsored Dvorak to come
to America to meld folk-tinged
melodies into classical form. Dvorak
was very taken by the Negro spirituals
and Native American music he heard.
The “New World Symphony,” as
Dvorak’s ninth symphony has come to
be known, written in 1892, combines
the rhythms and harmony of these
uniquely American music styles with
the romantic melodic influence of his
homeland. The result was the very first
piece of serious music that somehow
managed to embody and convey the
American spirit.
In this work of four movements, the
first movement begins as an Adagio and
then presents three different themes in
the Allegro molto: a fanfare for two
horns; flute and oboe duet; and then the
solo flute. The second movement, the
Largo, is the most well-known melody
of the work, played by the English horn.
Ukiah Symphony presented this movement by itself on the February 2005
concert, “How the West Was Won.” The
Scherzo is a fast-moving dance, and the
last movement, Allegro con fuoco,
begins with a strong statement by trombones and horns, and brings back thematic material from earlier movements,
ending triumphantly with the full
orchestra rushing to the finish.

Center Theatre, 1000 Hensley Creek
Road, Ukiah. This Ukiah Symphony

I was recently driving on North State

all the cars in front of me. I wondered where
they all come from. Then, one by one, they
all turned into Mendocino College. It was so
refreshing to see all these people trying to
better their lives right here in our county.

all over Mendo County were rocking out
and expressing themselves with adult

Unfortunately, the crowds drew some
unwarranted attention from the surrounding
residences and the Sheriff's department.
There was once a time, when I was young,
that the town of Mendocino was an artist’s
community. I remember hearing some of
the best music of my youth during “Jazz on
the Lawn” and watching the cutting edge of
art films at the community center. Today,
judging from the community’s negative
response, I suppose that once lively heart
of culture and understanding is gone.
Around 8 o’clock, after the first band
played they announced over the PA system
that the “cops” were going to shut the show
down if everyone didn’t come inside the
building or leave the area. These kind of
threats persisted throughout the night.
Reports circulated through the crowd that
the Sheriff had received complaints from
the neighbors. Apparently, some people
were smoking and drinking on their lawns
and the music was too “loud.” I was outside many times all that night to and from
my vehicle to retrieve musical equipment
and I could barely hear the music. Keep in
mind this is all before 10 p.m. This wasn’t
about noise or loitering, this was all about
control. When the headlining act from
Ukiah, “Definition Unknown,” was into

From the desk of...
PAUL KRUGMAN
John and Jerry
Well, I'll be damned. At least, that's what the Rev.
Jerry Falwell says. Last month Falwell issued a statement explaining that, in his view, Jews can't go to
heaven unless they convert to Christianity. And what
Falwell says matters -- maybe not in heaven, but here
on Earth. After all, he's a kingmaker in today's
Republican Party.
Sen. John McCain obviously believes that he can't
get the Republican presidential nomination without
Falwell's approval. During the 2000 campaign,
McCain denounced Falwell and the Rev. Pat
Robertson as "agents of

they have a right to be a
part of our party."
So what has happened since the 2000 campaign to
convince McCain that Falwell is not, in fact, an agent
of intolerance?
Maybe it was Falwell's TV appearance with
Robertson on Sept. 13, 2001, during which the two
religious leaders agreed that the terrorist attack two
days earlier was divine punishment for American
immorality. "God continues to lift the curtain and
allow the enemies of America to give us probably
what we deserve," said Falwell, who also declared, "I
really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and
the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are
actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the
ACLU, People for the American Way -- all of them
who have tried to secularize America -- I point the finger in their face and say, 'You helped this happen."'
Or maybe it was Falwell's appearance on "60
Minutes" in October 2002, when he declared, "I think
Muhammad was a terrorist." Muhammad, he said, was
"a violent man" -- unlike Falwell, I guess, who said of
terrorists that we should "blow them all away in the
name of the Lord."
After each of these incidents, by the way, Falwell
issued what were described as "apologies." But they
weren't apologies -- they were statements along the
lines of, "I'm sorry that some people were upset by
what I said." It's clear that in each case Falwell's offensive remarks were not a slip of the tongue; they
reflected his deeply held beliefs.
And that's why it's important to hold someone like
McCain -- who is still widely regarded as a moderate,
in spite of his extremely conservative voting record -accountable when he cozies up to Falwell. Nobody
thinks that McCain shares all of Falwell's views. But
when McCain said that the Christian right has a right
to be part of the Republican Party, he was in effect
saying that Falwell's statements are within the realm
of acceptable political discourse.
Just to be clear: This is a free country, and Falwell
has a right to say what he thinks, even if his views
include the belief that other people, by saying what
they think, brought down God's wrath on America. By
the same token, any political party has a right to
include Falwell and his supporters, just as any politician has a right to make a political alliance with
Falwell.
But if you choose to make common cause with religious extremists, you are accepting some responsibility for their extremism. By welcoming Falwell and
people like him as members of their party,
Republicans are saying that it's OK -- not necessarily
correct, but OK -- to declare that 9/11 was America's
punishment for its tolerance of abortion and homosexuality, that Islam is a terrorist religion and that Jews
can't go to heaven. And voters should judge the
Republican Party accordingly.
As for McCain: His denunciation of Falwell and
Robertson six years ago helped give him a reputation
as a moderate on social issues. Now that he has made
up with Falwell and endorsed South Dakota's ban on
abortion even in the case of rape or incest, only two
conclusions are possible: Either he isn't a social moderate after all, or he's a cynical political opportunist.

Charlie Mize, renowned Bay Area artist, will exhibit
"Musing Counterpoints", a collection of oil paintings on linen
and canvas, from April 6 through May 17, at Scharlfenberger
Cellars Tasting Room in Philo, California.
Charlie has been recognized as an artist since he was 3 years
old when, the San Francisco Chronicle awarded him for his
abilities! The DESI award was given to him for a logo design his first national recognition. He then received the San
Francisco Cable Car award and the group Journey awarded
Charlie a gold record by for extensive work on various album
covers.
Charlie’s art, much like life, has evolved immensely over the
past thirty years. He began with organic art, portraits and landscapes, then made his way through the digital world of Adobe.
After pushing pixels and paint he has come full circle back to
his love of Northern California landscapes - with a much wiser
and sharper lens.
This particular series of paintings was inspired by trapped,

Scottish Fiddler Fraser to perform
in benefit for Mendocino Music Festival
Master Scottish fiddler Alasdair Fraser is a consummate performer. His dynamic fiddling, engaging stage presence, and
deep understanding of Scotland’s music have created a constant
and international demand for his solo appearances and concerts
with a variety of ensembles. This world famous musician will
bring his show to Cotton Auditorium in Fort Bragg this
Saturday, at 8 p.m. in a benefit concert for the Mendocino
Music Festival.
Alasdair’s richly expressive playing transports listeners
across a broad musical spectrum, ranging from haunting
laments from the Gaelic tradition to classically-styled airs, raucous dance tunes, and improvisations based on traditional
themes. His vast repertoire spans several centuries of Scottish
music and includes his own compositions, which blend a profound understanding of the Scottish tradition with cutting-edge
musical explorations. He weaves through his performances a
warm and witty narrative, drawing from a deep well of stories
and lore surrounding Scotland’s musical heritage.
Alasdair will be joined by Cali McKasson, an award winning
pianist whose interest in Scottish piano began in 1993 at the
Valley of the Moon Scottish fiddling school where she became
a student of the Cape Breton pianist, Barbara MacDonald
Magone. Cali has also been influenced by Cape Breton pianist
Tracey Dares and Scottish pianist Muriel Johnstone.
Tickets for this event are available at the Mendocino Music
Festival office on Kasten and Main Streets in Mendocino,
Harvest Market and Music Merchant in Fort Bragg, Leaves of
Grass Bookstore in Willits, Arena Pharmacy in Point Arena,

Young Ukiah tracksters keep improving at tri-meet
The Daily Journal
The Ukiah boys and
girls track teams went up
against Maria Carrillo
and
Montgomery
Wednesday in North
Bay League action, with
each Wildcat squad taking third in their respec-
tive division.
Maria Carrillo won
the boys side of the
event with a score 105 to
Montgomery’s 58, and
the Maria Carrillo girls
won with a score of 95 to
Montgomery’s 67.
“We don’t have very
much experience,” said
Ukiah
head
coach
Robert Rozelski. “We’ve
got a young varsity team
and we’re going up
against two of the big
schools in our league,
the big point getters.”
Lauren Wallace was
the lone first place finisher for the Wildcats,
taking the 300 hurdles
with a time of 50.74 seconds.
“She’s almost catching up to her time from
last year,” Rozelski said.
“She’ll be competing for
the NBL championship,
and she’s getting faster
and faster each week.”
On the boys side,
Ukiah was paced by a
pair of fourth place finishes.
Todd Taylor finished
fourth in the 400 with a
time of 55.81 seconds,
and Josh Martinez finished fourth in the discus.

OKLAHOMA CITY — Chris Paul got his
second triple-double in three games and set
up Kirk Snyder’s go-ahead alley-oop dunk in
overtime as the New Orleans Hornets beat
the Golden State Warriors 114-109
Wednesday night, keeping pace in the playoff
race.
Paul had 17 points, a career-high 16 assists
and 10 rebounds, with marks in each category proving crucial down the stretch.
Paul got his final assist on a lob to Snyder
with 41.6 seconds left in overtime. He then
got his 10th rebound to complete the tripledouble when Aaron Williams blocked Derek
Fisher on the Warriors’ next possession.
After Paul added two free throws to extend
the Hornets’ lead to 112-109, Rasual Butler
made two more to provide the final margin.
Snyder blocked Monta Ellis’ floater to seal
the win.
The Hornets remained two games behind
Sacramento, which won Wednesday night at
defending NBA champion San Antonio.
New Orleans led 102-98 after Snyder
capped a run of nine straight points by driving the baseline for a right-handed dunk.
Fisher pulled the Warriors within a point
on a 3-pointer from the left wing and, after
Speedy Claxton hit a free throw, he tied it on
a jumper in the lane with 2.1 seconds left in
regulation.
West missed a chance at his fourth gamewinner as he stumbled in the lane and his shot
bounced off the rim twice before it caromed
away.
Reserve Claxton led the Hornets with 21
points and each of the team’s five starters
reached double figures. West and Linton
Johnson added 13 points apiece, Marc
Jackson added 12 and Butler had his first
career double-double with 11 points and a
career-high 10 rebounds.

SAN ANTONIO — Mike Bibby scored 31 points
and had eight assists, and the Sacramento Kings bolstered their playoff hopes with a 97-87 victory over
the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night.
The Kings (39-37) have the eighth playoff spot in
the Western Conference over New Orleans.
Sacramento has six games remaining in the regular
season and has won four of its last five games.
San Antonio (58-17) has a two-game lead over
Southwest Division-rival Dallas for the best record in
the West. The loss ended a four-game winning streak
for the Spurs.
Tony Parker led San Antonio with 16 points.
The Spurs shot 41 percent from the floor compared

DENVER — Marcel Goc broke a thirdperiod tie with a rebound goal past rookie
Peter Budaj, and the San Jose Sharks bolstered their playoff hopes with a 2-1 win over
the Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday night.
Goc’s goal at 2:48 gave the Sharks their
first lead, and it stood up. San Jose moved
into a tie with eighth-place Vancouver in the
Western Conference and within five points of
Colorado, which was coming off an exhilarating win over Chicago 48 hours earlier.
The Avs scored twice in the final minute to
beat the Blackhawks 4-3 on Monday night
but this time there was no last-minute magic.
Colorado failed to get off a shot after Budaj
was pulled for an extra skater with a minute
remaining.
San Jose’s Vesa Toskala surrendered a goal
to Andrew Brunette when the puck bounced
off his mask at 12:24 of the first period but
was otherwise flawless. He recorded 25 saves
to improve to 18-7-4.
Joe Sakic stretched his point streak to 11

Mike Pressler spent 16 seasons at
Duke and won three Atlantic Coast
Conference championships.
DURHAM, N.C. — Duke
University’s lacrosse coach resigned
Wednesday and the school canceled
the rest of the season amid a burgeoning scandal involving allegations that three players on the highly
ranked team raped a stripper at an
off-campus party.
Mike Pressler spent 16 seasons at
Duke and won three Atlantic Coast
Conference championships. Last
year, his team appeared in the nation-
al championship game.
“Coach Pressler offered me his
resignation earlier this afternoon,
and I accepted it,” said Duke athletic
director Joe Alleva. “I believe this is
in the best interests of the program,
the department of athletics and the
university.”
The rape allegations have roiled
the campus and the city, raised racial
tensions, and heightened the longstanding antagonism between the
privileged students at the elite university and the poorer people of
Durham.
The stripper is black and said her
attackers were white. Investigators
and witnesses have said the lacrosse
players taunted her with racial slurs
and insults.
Students and townspeople have
marched on campus and off in recent
days, angry over the school’s handling of the allegations and the team
members’ refusal to cooperate with
police. Investigators have said the
athletes are sticking together and
keeping silent. No one has been
charged.
The lacrosse team’s co-captains
have denied that anyone was sexually assaulted at the party, as have
attorneys for the players.
Earlier Wednesday, authorities
unsealed documents stating that

Stanford spring practices get off to rocky start
Harrison, Traverso suspended
for all of spring ball;
Edwards cleared to play after
shoulder operation
File photo
Stanford safety Brandon
Harrison notched 67
tackles in 2006.
STANFORD, Calif. (AP) —
Stanford quarterback Trent Edwards
and receiver Evan Moore have both
recovered enough from serious
injuries suffered last year to be able to
participate in spring practice when it
opens Friday.
The news is not so good for defensive end Pannel Egboh, strong safety
Brandon Harrison and tight end Matt
Traverso.
Egboh continues to rehab a broken
leg, while Harrison and Traverso have
been suspended from spring practice
“due to conduct inconsistent with the
goals of the Stanford football pro-
gram,” Cardinal coach Walt Harris
read from a prepared statement on
Wednesday.
Harrison started all 11 games last
year and was third on the team with 67
tackles.
Traverso started nine games and
caught 19 passes for 233 yards. He
caught a touchdown pass from backup
T.C. Ostrander in the final game of the
season, a 38-31 loss to Notre Dame.
Harris said both Harrison and
Traverso will be with the team through
spring, and could rejoin the team in the
fall.
“It’s up to them,” Harris said. “They
built a challenging road for themselves. I want to stress that this is not a
university issue. It is a Stanford football program thing.”
Harris declined to comment further
on the two players.
Edwards, who threw for 1,934
yards and 17 touchdowns last season,
was knocked out of the last two games
of his junior year with an injury to his
throwing arm.
Moore, an agile 6-7, 235-pounder
who played with the Stanford basketball team as a freshman, missed the
season with a separated shoulder.
“I anticipate him being healthy,”
Harris said of Edwards. “His arm is
feeling much improved. Evan Moore
has taken a negative and turned it into
a positive. He went through the realization that there was a legitimate
chance he’d never play football again.
That affected his outlook and attitude
in regards for his body.
“He has done a tremendous amount
of work to improve his body, especially his flexibility and that will have a
positive affect on his ability to play
wide receiver.”
Egboh’s spring will be severely
restricted after he broke his leg against
the Irish.
“I’m very pleased with his
progress,” Harris said. “He’s done a
nice job of rehabbing and he’s blessed
physically. We’re excited about his
ability.”
The defensive secondary will suffer
during the spring. Not only is Harrison
out, but backup Bo McNally is also
questionable.
Wopamo Osaisai, who played in all
11 games as a cornerback last year,
quit the football team to concentrate
on track and field.
Osaisai won the 100 meters last
weekend in the Stanford Invitational.
Stanford went 5-6 overall and 4-4 in
Pac-10 play in 2005, good for fourth in
the league in Harris’ first season after
coming to Palo Alto from Pittsburgh.
Stanford will hold its annual
Cardinal-White spring game on April
29.
The Cardinal have not been to a
bowl game since 2001.
Average baseball salaries Labonte eager to start
approaching $3 million
winning in No. 43 car
By RONALD BLUM
AP Baseball Writer
NEW YORK — Baseball’s
average salary soared 9 percent this year to nearly $2.9
million, with Alex Rodriguez
topping a sport in which more
than half the players on opening-day rosters make $1 million or more.
Rodriguez headed the list at
$25.7 million and was No. 1
for the sixth straight year,
according to a study of major
league contracts by The
Associated Press. He was followed by New York Yankees
teammates Derek Jeter ($20.6
million) and Jason Giambi
($20.4 million).
San Francisco’s Barry
Bonds was fourth at $20 million, and Houston’s Jeff
Bagwell — who might not
play because of a shoulder
injury — was next at $19.3
million.
“Baseball had record
crowds last year,” Giambi
said. “Probably with Barry
going to break the (home run)
record, it will bump it up and
more people will come out
and watch it, and in turn guys
make more money.”
This
year’s
record
$2,866,544 average was up
8.9 percent from last year’s
Duke
apparently sent an e-mail saying he wanted to invite more
strippers to his dorm room,
kill them and skin them. It
was not clear whether the
message was serious or a joke.
“The court released today a
previously sealed warrant,
whose contents are sickening
and
repulsive,”
Duke
President Richard Brodhead
said in announcing the cancellation of the rest of the season.
Last week, Brodhead suspended the team from play.
The stripper, a student at a
nearby university, has told
police that she was hired to
perform at a party at a house
just off campus last month and
was raped and choked by
three men in a bathroom.
Investigators are awaiting the
results of DNA tests on 46 of
the 47 team members. The
team’s lone black member did
not have to provide a sample.
District Attorney Mike
Nifong has said that he is
“pretty confident that a rape
occurred,” but that he does not
expect to file charges until
next week.
Duke, considered a national title contender before the
lacrosse season began, had a
6-2 record with seven regularseason games remaining
before the scandal broke.
The e-mail, according to an
application for a search warrant of the player’s dorm
room, was sent from the player’s Duke e-mail account just
before 2 a.m. on March 14.
Police said investigators
received a copy from a confidential source, though they
later won a court order seeking access to the account.
In the e-mail, addressed
“To whom it may concern,”
figure of $2,632,655.
The Yankees’ payroll
dropped a bit to $198.7 million from $205.9 million on
opening day last year. Boston
was second again at $120.1
million, followed by the Los
Angeles Angels ($103.6 million), the World Series champion Chicago White Sox
($102.9 million) and the New
York Mets ($100.9 million).
Payroll figures don’t
include cash transactions,
such as money the Yankees
are receiving from Texas for
Rodriguez and the White Sox
are getting from Philadelphia
for Jim Thome.
At the other end were the
Florida Marlins at just under
$15 million, including 17
players making the $327,000
minimum. It’s the lowest figure for any team at the start of
a season since 1998. It’s also
less than the top 12 players
make and 1/13th of what the
Yankees pay their roster.
While the biggest spenders
kept their payrolls pretty
much at the same levels, many
teams at the bottom made
boosts. Toronto added freeagent pitchers A.J. Burnett
and B.J. Ryan, and catcher
Bengie Molina, among others,
hiking its payroll to $71.9 mil-
lion from $45.4 million.
Eleven of the bottom 15
teams increased spending.
Baseball’s labor contract
expires Dec. 19, and the
sport’s economic system will
be negotiated again by players
and owners.
“There are still concerns at
both the top and the bottom,”
said Bob DuPuy, baseball’s
chief operating officer. “The
goal would be to get a tighter
range that would ensure that
even more than 20 clubs at
Labor Day still have a chance
to compete for playoff spots,
that playoff spots are based on
skill and talent and blossoming
stars and not just economics.”
Oakland, 21st at $62.3 million, still has little margin for
error. Some of the high-spending clubs complain that the
smaller-market
franchises
haven’t spent their revenuesharing money on major
league payrolls.
“Certain teams are funneling it back in the right ways
and there are some teams that
aren’t,” Athletics outfielder
Mark Kotsay said. “I think
this club in the last couple of
years has definitely shed that.
They’ve used the money in
revenue sharing and put it
back into players’ salaries.”
the player says he has “decided to have some strippers
over” to his dorm room,
“however there will be no
nudity.”
“I plan on killing the bitches as soon as they walk in and
proceding to cut their skin
off,” the author of the e-mail
says, adding in vulgar terms
that he would find the act sexually satisfying. The e-mail
was signed with what police
said is the player’s jersey
number.
Police
spokeswoman
Kammie
Michaels
said
authorities tried to determine
whether the e-mail was serious by searching the player’s
dorm room.
But a lawyer for the player
who purportedly wrote it said
the content suggests his client
is innocent.
“While the language of the
e-mail is vile, the e-mail itself
is perfectly consistent with the
boys’ unequivocal assertion
that no sexual assault took
place that evening,” said attorney Robert Ekstrand. The email “demonstrates that its
writer is completely unaware
that any act or event remotely
similar to what has been
alleged ever occurred.”
The warrant for the player’s room was made public on
Wednesday. In it, police provide a detailed timeline of the
alleged attack and some additional details of their investigation.
The warrant also adds conspiracy to commit murder as
one of the crimes police are
investigating. According to
the warrant, the alleged victim
told police she believes the
players used false names and
falsely claimed to be members
of Duke’s baseball and track
teams.
A team captain and resident
of the house where the party
took place told police he used

By HANK KURZ Jr.
MARTINSVILLE, Va. —
There was a time in Bobby
Labonte’s career when a
fifth-place finish wouldn’t
have caused a ripple of interest in the media or in the
garage.
That was before he joined
Petty Enterprises as the new
face behind the wheel of the
famed No. 43 car, bringing
along a career resume that
could help put it back in the
spotlight.
So far, though, Labonte
said what he and his team
accomplish on the track is all
he’s focusing on. He’ll consider the magnitude of a victory when it comes.
“I don’t know how it will
be until it happens. I’ll know
more after that,” the 2000
series champion said. “It
might be total chaos, or it
might be just another win.”
One thing that’s certain,
though, is that after only six
races, the Petty organization
feels closer to getting back to
Victory Lane than it has in a
while.
Labonte’s fifth-place finish at Bristol Motor
Speedway two weekends ago
was the first top-five run for
the company in five years,
and was followed by talk that
a win at Martinsville was a
possibility. That’s the place
where Team Petty got its last
victory, with John Andretti
driving the car Richard Petty
made famous, in 1999.
It didn’t work out that way
at Martinsville, but Kyle
Petty said the Petty teams
have struggled just to compete for so long that there’s
really no pressure on
Labonte to hurry up and take
a checkered flag.
“He ran fifth at Bristol and
it’s, like, huge. It’s huge,”
Petty said.
“That’s what I told him:
‘You come over here and
have any type of success and
it’s going to be big because it
has been so long since we’ve
had success.’ The pressure’s
not to come out and win
races at Petty Enterprises. It’s
to come out and run competitive.”
Labonte learned to expect
that and much more during
11 years at Joe Gibbs Racing,
where he won 21 races.
Labonte’s offseason move
was the centerpiece of an
ambitious
Petty
team
rebuilding that includes
Robbie Loomis, a former
championship crew chief for
Jeff Gordon who now is the
Petty executive vice president; Todd Parrott, who won
a championship with Dale
Jarrett in 1999, becoming
Labonte’s crew chief, and
Paul Andrews, another championship-winning crew chief,
who came to the team last
season and is the crew chief
on Kyle Petty’s No. 45
Dodge.
“One brings two, two
brings four, four brings eight,
eight brings 16 and that’s the
way that works,” Petty said
at Martinsville, where gear
trouble doomed them both to
poor
finishes.
“We’re
stronger as a team all the way
through because of Bobby
Labonte.”
The chance to join a
rebuilt team was what lured
Labonte, too.
“I found myself in a position at the end of the year to
make the move, and I
thought that was the right
thing for me just because of
the people that were going
there and the people that
were there,” he said. “That
just made my decision easier.”
So far, he sees signs that
things are moving in the
direction he hoped, even
though he knows it takes
time to build chemistry,
which brings consistency.
“We’re gaining on it,” he
said before running 32nd at
Martinsville. “We’ve just got
a lot of work to do. There’s
no doubt that we’ll go somewhere and we’re going to
struggle. If we do, we’ve got
to make sure that we realize
what we did wrong.”
That reality, at least for
now, keeps expectations realistic.
“We’re going to be like
the stock market. We’re
going to be up and down,”
Labonte said.
“Everybody is excited that
we can win, and we’ve got to
keep that in mind,” he said.
“We don’t want to walk away
from with just one top-five
finish.”
For the first time in a
while at Petty Enterprises,
the parts all seem to be in
place.
“People have asked me,
‘Hey, what do you think
about driving the 43 car?’ I
say it’s great, and it’s going
to be even better when we
land in Victory Lane one
day,” Labonte said. “That’s
when it’s going to really
mean something.”

another two to three ages up,
but they all handled themselves like ballplayers.”
Ashley Lower was an alltournament selection for
Ukiah, averaging 9.6 points
and 4.6 rebounds per game.
“Ashley had a great tournament,” Wright-Williams said.
“Not only did she control the

Ukiah, averaging 8.3 points
per game, and McKenzie
Mangino led Ukiah in
rebounding, grabbing five
boards per contest.
Ashley Villagomes played

Marine Mammal Rescue: Slideshow
and Lecture to be presented April 20
Since 1975 the Marine Mammal Center (MMC) in Sausalito
has been rescuing marine mammals – animals that are injured,
trapped, disoriented, diseased and otherwise threatened. When
possible they nurse them to health and release them back into
the ocean. The MMC has gained world-wide recognition for its
contributions to marine mammal medicine. Tanya Smart, who
has a Masters Degree in Behavioral Ecology, was the Director
of Education for the MMC in l986 and 1987, and is now a volunteer with its “Fort Bragg Operation.” She will discuss and
show slide sequences of marine mammal rescues and releases
on Thursday, April 20, 7 p.m. at the Ukiah Civic Center, as a
part of Peregrine Audubon Society’s monthly speaker program.
Her presentation will include slides of last fall’s dramatic rescue of a humpback whale that was wrapped up in 20 commercial crab pot lines near the Farallones Islands. This program is
free to the public (a hat will be passed for donations).
Directions to the Ukiah Civic Center at 300 Seminary Ave.:
take Perkins Street west to State Street (second light). Go left
on State. After a few blocks turn right on Seminary Ave and
take it to the end.

Friday, April 7, 2006
There is a strong possibility you could become
involved with a partner in an
ambitious undertaking in the
year ahead. Its possibilities
for success look good, but
only if you both remain
focused on the same target.
ARIES (March 21-April
19) -- If you want to engage
in something chancy where
the outcome is questionable,
do so alone and don’t try to
involve others in your fiasco. If it goes awry, you’ll be
the one to blame. Get a jump
on life by understanding the
influences governing you in
the year ahead.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20) -- Better be careful in
whom you confide and from
whom you seek advice. If
the person you choose is a
poor counselor, greater complications are likely to
occur.
GEMINI (May 21-June
20) -- You may be a very
good salesperson, and that’s
all well and good. But if
you’re not sure whether
what your selling works or
not, and it turns out to be a
dud, it’ll hurt your reputation.
CANCER (June 21-July
22) -- A total lack of concern
for your resources could
lead you to spend thoughtlessly, as well as extravagantly. If that should occur,
you will end the day with
only a pain in your purse.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - Occasionally, our bravado
will get us by and we can
pull off a bluff. However,
Barry Levinson (1942-), director/producer,
is 64; John Ratzenberger (1947-), actor, is
59; Paul Rudd (1969-), actor, is 37.
TODAY’S SPORTS: In 2004, the
Connecticut women’s basketball team won
the NCAA championship, and UConn
became the first Division I school ever to
hold both men’s and women’s basketball
titles in the same year.
this isn’t apt to be one of
those times. Be sure you
have a handful of aces
before you ante up on a big
bet.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22) -- Even if you think you
have something good to
offer, if you’re too laid-back
and easygoing about it, the
world isn’t likely to beat a
path to your door. You’ll
have to prove yourself.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.
23) -- Unless you are prepared to strengthen and stabilize your position in a
business
arrangement,
there’s a probability you
could end up losing that
which you had already
gained.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
22) -- It is important to be

step from the sublime to the ridiculous.” -Napoleon Bonaparte
TODAY’S FACT: Athletes at the 1896

more realistic than optimistic about something
you’re hoping to achieve. If
you live on cloud nine and
fail to come down to earth,
you’ll miss the brass ring.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.
23-Dec. 21) -- Generosity is
an admirable trait, but one
you could easily misuse by
impulsively favoring the
wrong people. When you
realize your zeal in someone
was misguided, you’ll have
regrets.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19) -- Take care,
because your worst enemy
might be a well-intentioned
friend who could try to
involve you in something
where the value is grossly
inflated. You both could go
down.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 19) -- Although you are
innately endowed with
splendid judgment, you
might make a hopeful decision that will not serve your
best interests one iota. Try to
put wishful thinking aside.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March
20) -- You might be tempted
to use an untested labor-saving technique and end up
making more work for yourself in the long run. Stick to
known methods and procedures.

Answer: When the hunter spotted the buck in his

Wife should seek to better herself despite her husband
Dear Annie: I have been married for 15
years. I am no longer “in love” with my husband. In fact, every minute I’m around him, I
hate him even more. We’ve been to counseling
twice, and both times they told “Jerry” he
needs to spend more time with the kids (ages
13, 10 and 6) and focus on other parts of our
relationship besides sex.
Jerry has taken nothing from those sessions.
I cannot ever get a hug without getting groped,
so I avoid hugging. Communicating is like
talking to a tree. It burns me up to see him
lounging while I exhaust myself doing things
around our home. I can’t even get him to play
a game or read to the kids without massive
coaxing.
Jerry can go an entire day without brushing
his teeth. He wears the same clothes for a week
and will put on the same underwear two or
three days in a row. This is a huge turn-off for
me. I’ve told him, but he doesn’t care enough
to change. Once, I told him he needs to make
ANNIE’S MAILBOX
By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
me fall in love with him again, and he replied
that it wasn’t worth the effort.
Leaving is not an option. I’ve been a stay-athome mom for 10 years and have no job training to fall back on. College is out of the question. Jerry already has told me he won’t pick up
the slack if I decide to go back to school, and I
don’t want my kids to suffer. I need help. -Stuck in a Rut
Dear Stuck: It sounds as if Jerry isn’t so “in
love” with you, either. Go back to one of your
counselors and ask for help -- with or without
Jerry. See if you can sign up for some evening
classes at your local YWCA or community college, and check services provided by your
state. It won’t hurt the kids to know that Mom
is trying to better herself while Daddy (or your
parents or a baby sitter) watches them. It’s
worth the investment in your future.
Dear Annie: I have my hair done every four
weeks at the same nationally known salon. My
last visit was quite upsetting. The hairdresser
took out a hairbrush that obviously had been
used on someone else. There were blonde hairs
in the brush, which the stylist took out with her
hand, and then she proceeded to use it on me.
I will never go back to that salon. I cannot
contact the manager because she will make me
out to be the bad guy. What if the person before
me had head lice, an infection or something
worse? Aren’t there rules and guidelines a
beauty salon must follow when it comes to
cleaning brushes? Should I bring my own? -Traveling Brush Customer
Dear Traveling: Most states do indeed have
regulations requiring the sterilization of combs
and brushes used in hair salons. You can check
with your state licensing board for specific
information about the laws in your area.
Meanwhile, please call the manager and tell
her why you no longer will be patronizing her
shop. She’ll want to know, and you have nothing to lose by telling her.
Dear Annie: I read the letters about men
staring at women’s breasts. I work in a maledominant factory and am petite and very wellendowed. One day, a male co-worker asked me
if I could please stop my breasts from staring at
his eyes, as he found it quite offensive. I
cracked up laughing.
I now use that line whenever I find myself in
such a situation. I say, in my most sincere
voice, “Oh, I humbly apologize. It seems my
breasts are staring at your eyes.” That usually
stops the offender and gets a laugh as well.
Hope this brings a chuckle to your day. -Factory Worker in Ontario
Dear Ontario: It did indeed. It’s a good
thing you have a well-developed sense of
humor. Many thanks for providing a clever
retort for our female readers.

He noted that when the
continuance became obvious,
his office suggested a date in
April. But with Jordan
unavailable then, the court
settled on the July date.
“It’s just dragging this

people are entitled to a speedy

But Jordan rejected the
negative impact of the postponement.
“I don’t think the situation
gets any worse or any better,”

Another realignment was
also discussed and is a concern for members of the
Humboldt County cattle
industry. Weight and size
restrictions on Highway 101
through Richardson Grove
prevent certain trucks, especially livestock trucks, from
legally entering Humboldt
County.
Caltrans officials said a
study on the realignment of
Richardson Grove will begin
in the summer and they hope
to have it done by the end of
the year.
“That’s what gets us in line
for funding when these studies
get finished,” Neely said.
The representatives of the
cattle industry who attended
said
they
appreciated
Caltrans’ efforts to make it so
livestock trucks can come
through, but they need something in the meantime so they
can stay open for business.
Buyers of their cattle are
discouraged by the restrictions
for their trucks and don’t want
to do business with Humboldt
County ranchers.
“If we can’t sell our product, then we’re not going to be
in business,” said Lane Ross.
Lee Mora of the Humboldt
auction yard in Fortuna
agreed.
“We have an industry we’re
trying to hold together,” Mora
said.
No decisions regarding
Richardson Grove were made,
but all parties involved agreed
to work on options like information distribution to truckers
and legislation.

officers are innocent until proven guilty.

Principal Ken Montoya said
students were given information prior to the protest in both
English and Spanish on the
consequences of leaving
class. He warned the students
they could receive punishments up to and including
detention.
True to his word, some students will serve (regular)
detention -- standard protocol
for a cut -- and others are
looking at Saturday School.
Detention equates to a half
hour after school, but
Saturday School means doing
more time -- from 8 a.m. to
noon -- on a day off.
“Some of these kids, if they
have a history of leaving campus without permission, could
very well face Saturday
School. We are like Emeril -Bam! -- we bump it up,”
Montoya said.
More students cut classes
for last Thursday’s protest
than on any other school day
so far this year, he said.

Katie Couric heads to evening news as poll
shows viewers prefer her in the morning
By DAVID BAUDER
AP Television Writer
NEW YORK -- Now that
Katie Couric is making the
move from dawn to dusk, her
legacy -- and the future of
CBS News -- depends on the
audience. And according to a
new poll, that audience
prefers to see her in the
morning.
Asked if they would rather
see Couric in her longtime
role as “Today” host or as the
first woman to anchor a network weekday evening newscast on her own, 49 percent
favored the morning and 29
percent said evening, according to a poll conducted this
week by The Associated
Press and TV Guide.
After 15 years as morning
television’s queen, Couric
confirmed Wednesday that
she is leaving NBC’s “Today”
show to become anchor and
managing editor of the “CBS
Evening News” this fall. Her
audience at “Today” is about
6 million viewers; “CBS
Evening News” has about 7.5
million.
The woman who dressed
in Marilyn Monroe and
SpongeBob SquarePants outfits on Halloween and gave
viewers a tour of her colon
will take the position once
held by the iconic Walter
Cronkite and the ousted Dan
Rather.
But claims that Couric
lacks the “gravitas” for the
job are “thinly disguised sexism,” said news consultant
Andrew Tyndall.
Few questioned Tom
Brokaw when he switched
from a “Today” host in the
1970s to become NBC top
anchor. At ABC, Charles
Gibson frequently did the
morning and evening newscasts on the same day this
past year during the late Peter
Jennings’ illness.
“I think her strengths” -three hours a day of live
broadcasting covering a wide
swath of topics -- “will
evolve and magnify to fit the
task,” said Frank Sesno, a
journalism professor at
George Mason University and
special CNN correspondent.
“Sometimes I think change
is a good thing,” Couric said
on “Today.” “Although it
may be terrifying to get out
of your comfort zone, it’s
very exciting to start a new
chapter in your life.”
NBC was moving swiftly
to replace her. “The View”
co-host Meredith Vieira, a
former “60 Minutes” correspondent, was close
Wednesday to accepting
NBC’s offer to join Matt
Lauer on “Today” starting
this fall, according to a person familiar with the negotiations who spoke on condition
of anonymity because a deal
had not been completed.
Couric, 49, grew up in
journalism backstage at CNN,
then joined NBC as a
Pentagon reporter in 1989. In
April 1991, she was installed
next to Bryant Gumbel to
wipe away the stain of
Deborah Norville’s disastrously brief tenure.
It was a master stroke that
earned hundreds of millions
for NBC and its parent,
General Electric Corp.
Couric, paired with Lauer
since 1997, will leave next
month as the longest-serving
“Today” host in the show’s
54-year history. The show is
in the 11th year of an
unprecedented ratings winning streak.
Her success helped pave
the career rise of Jeff Zucker,
once Couric’s executive producer and now, as CEO of the
NBC Universal Television
Group, responsible for overseeing a smooth transition at
“Today.”
“There comes a time for
everyone, when new challenges become hard to resist,
and I fully understand that,”
Zucker said. “I couldn’t be
happier for Katie.”
Couric turned down an
offer of about $20 million a
year to stay at NBC in order
to take CBS’ five-year deal at
near her current salary of
about $15 million, according
to people close to negotiations who spoke on condition
of anonymity because networks do not speak publicly
about salaries. She’s also
agreed to do “60 Minutes”
stories and prime-time specials for CBS. The lure of
making history in the evening
-- and an end to pre-dawn
wake-up calls -- proved irre-
sistible.
Couric’s morning job
required her to interview
everyone from presidents to
preening celebrities to a runaway bride. Some critics have
questioned whether those
skills translate well to a job
that primarily involves reading news headlines and presiding when big news strikes.
“If we have another (terrorist) attack or hurricane and
need life-saving information,
I think her image is that of
more fluff than fact and that’s
going to have an impact,”
said Jeff Alan, author of
“Anchoring America: The
Changing Face of Network
News.”
