L
aughter, tears and raucous cheering isn’t generally a
hallmark of the courtyard of the Mendocino County
Administration Center at 8 a.m. on a Tuesday morning.
But then, not every Tuesday morning ushers in a civil rights
milestone.
Just before the office opened for business, a bevy of soon-to-be
newlyweds and their friends and family could be seen happily
milling about in front of the Mendocino County Clerk’s Office, as
the month-old California Supreme Court ruling allowing same-sex
marriage went into effect.
“I’m nervous and excited,” said Teresa Sooknemizell, who,
along with her partner Jennifer Sooknemizell, were the first couple
to be wed by Sue Ranochak, Mendocino County assessor/county
clerk/recorder Tuesday. “This is great.”
Jennifer Sooknemizell said Ranochak had contacted her prior to
the big day to offer the pair the number one spot on the sign-up
sheet.
“She asked us if we would like to be first because she knows
we’ve been working for this for a long time,” she said.
The now freshly-eloped couple was not the only long-term
relationship to be made official Tuesday -- the second pair to take
their vows had just celebrated their 29th anniversary on Saturday.
“I Carol take thee Carole,” said Carol Gottfried, as she repeated
the marriage vows to her partner Carole Loudd before being
pronounced “a married couple.”
Gottfried said she wore the same blue and white outfit to the
couple’s 25th anniversary.
“I’m feeling great,” she said, her face beaming.
County clerk offices across California opened for their first full

The Ukiah Police Department has
arrested Alva Thomas Reeves on charges
of murder in the death of a man whose
body was found in the railroad siding
north of Perkins Street Saturday and who
police are now identifying as Gerald
Knight, 51, of Ukiah.
According to police
reports, Reeves was
seen walking into the
Quest Mart at 915 N.
State St. at around 10
p.m.
Monday
by
Officer
Tyler
Schapmire, who was on
routine patrol.
Reeves was arrested
on suspicion of murder
without incident and
Reeves
was booked into the
Mendocino County Jail, where he is being
held without bail.
Reeves is alleged to have killed
Knight, whose body was found near the
railroad tracks off Mason Street north of
Perkins Street by a local resident early
Saturday morning.
Ukiah Police Capt. Trent Taylor said
Knight appeared to have died from a violent physical assault. It is not clear if any
weapons were used in the attack, according to police reports.
Reeves and Knight were long-term
acquaintances and were seen together by
witnesses for several days prior to
Knight’s death, according to police
reports.
An autopsy has been performed on
Knight, but a report on the cause of death
will not be available until a full forensic
analysis is complete.
The investigation into Knight’s death is
ongoing, and anyone with information is
encouraged to contact UPD Detective
Mariano Guzman at 463-6262.

FOLLOW-UP
Arraignment
set for banker
on theft charges
By BEN BROWN
The Daily Journal
A Ukiah banker is scheduled to be
arraigned next week on multiple felony
charges, including grand theft and filing
false tax returns, according to documents
filed by the California Attorney General’s
Office.
James Lester Harrison, a former vice
president of the Savings Bank of
Mendocino County, is alleged to have
stolen more than $200,000 from a trust he
was managing for county residents Viola
and Oscar Allen. According to court
records, Harrison is accused of using the
funds to make private loans.
The Allens appointed Harrison their
trustee in 1993, with the understanding that,
upon their death, the funds would be turned
over to the Ukiah High School to fund a

County budget talks turn somber in era of declining revenue
By ROB BURGESS
The Daily Journal
and the Associated Press
After celebrations that marked the county’s
first same-sex marriages had died down, the
mood at the County Administration Center took a
decidedly somber turn as the Mendocino County
Board of Supervisors tackled the proposed county budget.
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
“This is a budget that the county has been
dealing with for some time now,” said board
chairman and 2nd District Supervisor Jim
Wattenburger at the opening of the discussion.
“The county has limited resources for 08-09. This
represents the third year of declining rates and
revenues.”
Wattenburger said the need for more money
unfortunately clashed with a decreased inflow of
cash.
“The reality is the county has not kept pace
with its obligations,” he said. “This county is at a
crossroads. The till is dry and we are facing
declining revenues and increased need for services, and those two do not coincide. We cannot
continue to sustain the level of services with the
amount of revenues we have. This is only the
proposed budget -- a lot of work is yet to be
done.”
County CEO Tom Mitchell said hard choices
would have to be made when deciding what
would stay and what would go.

JOHNNY ROY HUTCHINS
July 20, 1969 --June 6, 2008
Johnny Roy Hutchins
was a child of the Mendocino land, the home of
his Native American
ancestors. True to his heritage of freedom, he
refused to be bound by
societies’ conventions, and fought anyone or
anything that
seemed to interfere with his
independence.
Johnny was quick to help
family, friends, or
strangers, knowing instinctively what was needed. He
never met a car engine he
couldn’t fix. His artistic
talents were expressed in drawing and
detailed bead work.
The best of Johnny will
live on through his
daughter Harmony and our
loving memories
of him. His spirit finally
free, Johnny’s ashes
will be scattered on a
Mendocino County
mountaintop where he can
watch over the
land and people he loved. A
private family service will
be held at a later date.
Remember him as the sun
on your face and the wind
in the air.
Preceded in death by his
father, John Roy
McCoy, Johnny is survived
by his daughter,
Harmony Hutchins; mother, Sharon Hutchins;
brothers Eric and Shane
Hutchins; sisters Julie Hutchins and Kim
McCoy; his girl Stephanie Loucks; and many
cousins and friends.

West Company, Small Business
Development Center to host workshop
The Daily Journal
West Company and the
Mendocino County Small
Business Development
Center will host “Small
Business Capital Access –
Loan Programs” workshop at
Town Hall in Fort Bragg on
June 19.
This workshop is designed
for the small business owner
interested in securing financing for working capital, business expansion, term loans
for purchases or refinance of
existing debt. You will gain
knowledge on how a bank
and other lending organizations will evaluate your loan
request, the types of funding
available, and loan fund
sources both locally and out
of area.
The workshop will start at
9 a.m. with panel presentations on “What is a Business
Plan and Why is it
Necessary,” “Small Business
Services and Resources
Available Locally,” “Types of
Small Business Loans” and
“What is a Government
Guaranteed Loan.” At 10
a.m., Lenders will present
some of the products available at their companies. Some
of the institutions making
presentations will be: Wells
Fargo Bank; Bank of
America; Fort Bragg Credit
Union; Mendo-Lake Credit
Union; Mendocino County
Economic Development
Finance Corporation; SafeBidco; Arcata Economic
Development Corporation;
State of California Enterprise
Fund; Superior California
Economic Development;
Cypress Lending; and, the
Bank of Alameda.
According to Tom Becker,
one of two SCORE
Counselors serving our area,
Mendocino County is
extremely underserved by the
small business lending community. I don’t know of any
financial institution staffed
with someone knowledgeable
enough to discuss the variety
of lending options available
to a small business seeking
funds. Becker feels most are
totally frustrated with the
process and either used credit
cards for smaller needs, take
on debt that is in the best
interest of financial institution, not the best interest of
the small business, or they
use operational cash to
finance their needs and thus,
place an additional strain on
their business operations.
Becker feels this workshop is
a must for every small business owner interested in
securing loan funds.
For a complete listing of
workshop activities, please go

Antique roulette table gives a very
rare glimpse of gambling history
The Associated Press
RENO, Nev. — Boyd and Sharon
Cox thought they were simply buying
an antique roulette table when they
responded to a newspaper ad several
years ago.
What they ended up with is a oneof-a-kind piece of gambling history
that has been talked about and written
about but never actually seen by modern-day gaming regulators and insiders.
“This is the bigfoot, the UFO, the
D.B. Cooper of gambling stuff,” said
Jim Edwards, a senior agent and 32year veteran of the Nevada Gaming
Control Board Enforcement Division.
In gambling parlance, it is a gaffed
wheel. In layman’s terms, it’s rigged to
cheat.
Edwards and several other agents
joined the Coxes on Monday at the
University of Nevada School of
Medicine, where X-rays were taken to
reveal the inner workings of the
device.
“It’s the only one known to exist,”
Edwards told the Reno GazetteJournal.
The Coxes bought the wheel from an
antiques collector in Sonora, in 2000
and have kept it in storage while they
tried to figure out what to do with it.
“All he would say is that it belonged
to an old guy who had it stored in his
garage for 60 or 70 years,” Sharon Cox
said. “When he died, his family sold it
to this guy.”
They paid about $7,500 for the
wheel and table, and an extra $1,000 to
have them restored. That’s when things
became interesting.
“He called us and said the legs have
been hollowed out and there are batteries inside about the size of orange juice
cans,” Sharon Cox said. “That’s when
we said ’Oh my God, this is a gaffed
wheel.”’

Businesses come together to make
girl’s automotive dream come true
dfm Car Stereo has teamed up with
Advanced Collision Repair, Bazzani’s
Bitchin’ Stitchin’ Custom Upholstery,
and Redwood Tree Automotive Center
to give one lucky high school student
a complete makeover of their vehicle.
Students between the ages of 16
and 18, with parents’ consent, filled
out applications and wrote essays to
enter their car in this contest. The
essay topic was “Why My Car and I
Should be Chosen.”
While most of the applicants asked
for makeovers for cars like a BMW,
Mercedes, and a Cadillac, the chosen
entry was the one that appeared to
need the work the most, a 1985 Volvo
Wagon.
The team actually underestimated
just how much work this car needed.
The vehicle is driven by 16-year-old
Ellen Sassenrath, a sophomore at
Ukiah High School.
The team took possession of the car
in early April, and for the last two
months, they have been transforming
this car. The vehicle has received body
work and custom paint from
Advanced Collision, custom upholstery from Bazzani’s Bitchin’
Stitchin’, custom audio and video
from dfm Car Stereo, and wheels,
tires, and window tint from Redwood
Tree Automotive Center.

The Evans DeLuxe Roulette Wheel
was built in Chicago or Detroit in the
late 1920s and sold for the princely
sum of $250. Typical roulette wheels
of the era sold for about $35.
Besides being antique enthusiasts
and part owners of Antiques &
Treasures on West Street in downtown
Reno, the Coxes have spent much of
their adult lives in the gambling industry. Boyd Cox is president of Sierra
Nevada Gaming Supply. Sharon is a
casino host at the Peppermill, after
starting her career as a roulette dealer
under the tutelage of the late Sam Boyd
in Las Vegas.
She recalled as a young dealer a
gambler who suggested she “hit a button” and make the roulette ball land in
a certain spot.
“I just laughed and told him, that’s a
myth,” she said.
Once they had possession of the
table, the Coxes contacted the Gaming
Control Board to let officials know
about it.
To find a rigged machine from the
early 1900s is unprecedented, Edwards
said.
While gambling has been legal in
Nevada since 1931 and operated illegally for many years before that, when-
ever authorities found a rigged game,
they destroyed it, often with axes or
sledgehammers.
The table the Coxes purchased has
three buttons — one that could be used
by the dealer, one by a player with
obvious inside knowledge and one by
the pit boss.
Edwards said its highly unlikely
such a rigged game would exist in any
modern casino.
“It just wouldn’t be worth it for
them to lose their gaming license over
a rigged device,” he said.
Last month, with the permission of
the federal Department of Homeland
Security, the wheel was taken to RenoTahoe International Airport and Xrayed there. However, the machines at
the airport and the proportion of the
wheel didn’t match. So arrangements
were made to have X-rays taken at the
school of medicine’s family center.
Monday’s X-ray session, which
focused mainly on a mechanical,
metallic device built into the wheel,
didn’t immediately reveal any answers
as to how the rigged machine worked.
Boyd Cox speculated it could have
created a magnetized area of the wheel
that would attract or repel a roulette
ball, but no definitive answer could be
reached until the wheel is made operational.
He said he plans to contact Paul
Tramble, who he described as “the premiere roulette builder in the world,” to
perhaps get the wheel in working
order.
Ultimately, the Coxes plan to sell
the wheel and they hope it can find a
place in a museum, perhaps the “Mob
Museum” being promoted by Las
Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman.
“It’s a really unique thing, a piece of
history, and we’d love to see it displayed somewhere,” Boyd Cox said.

Father not seeing
the reality in
mother’s needs
Q: Our parents are in their
mid-80s and live across the
country from my brother and
me. Mom had a stroke last
year and can’t walk, but Dad
won’t hear of her going to a
nursing home. He has tried to
care for her but is wearing
down fast. About six months
ago, we hired a retired lady
who was with them 10 hours
per day, six days each week.
She charged $9 per hour but
refused to accept checks,
meaning we had to arrange to
pay her in cash or lose her.
Even with this care, when I
last visited two weeks ago, I
saw a marked decline in Dad.
He fell twice and sometimes
seemed disoriented. To my
dismay, I discovered a large
pressure sore on Mom’s bottom that I don’t think Dad
knows about. He still insists
on her staying home and has
agreed to ‘round-the-clock sitters. We found three retired
ladies willing to move in and
share the hours. The total cost
will be $8 per hour, or nearly
$6,000 monthly, but none will
accept checks.
Dad will have to sell most
of his small stock portfolio to
pay for this, and my brother
and I will help him, but I still
don’t think my mother will
get good care from sitters
even though their doctor says
either they have sitters or she
must go into a nursing home.
How can we get Mom out
of the house without burning
our bridges with Dad? If we
can’t, will we able to deduct
the cost of the sitters due to
our parents’ chronic illness
and their doctor’s insistence
that they be with sitters or
placed?
A: First and foremost, it
does not appear that your
mother is getting appropriate
care. The pressure sore needs
treatment, and, without proper
care, she may become dehydrated, have continuing urinary-tract infections, and possibly other infections that will
require her hospitalization.
The wound itself seems
severe enough to require hospitalization. We suggest that
you contact a geriatric-care
manager to assess Mom’s care
in the home and let him or her
tell Dad that if Mom is not
cared for outside the home
voluntarily, adult protective
services could take custody of
her and place her without
much input from him. This
may make him realize he has
done all he can do.
With regard to the caregiver expenses, if deemed necessary by a physician for chronically ill people, such expenses may be deductible as a
medical expense if the expenditures exceed 7.5 percent of a
taxpayer’s adjusted gross
income. Under the law as we
understand it, if you and your
sibling pay the bills, you
and/or your sibling should be
able to take the deduction if
you meet the guidelines.
However, everyone seems
to be ignoring the much more
Next steps

important question: the
responsibility to withhold
Social Security and Medicare,
and to report these wages to
the IRS and state taxing
authorities. Like your parents’
helpers, many caregivers are
either retired or receiving benefits and don’t want their
wages reported as taxable
income, either because more
of their Social Security will be
taxed or they’ll lose benefits.
Like you, many Americans
who pay caregivers for their
parents don’t pay attention to
the withholding rules that, if
ignored, can lead to paying
taxes and interest -- plus
penalties.
As we understand it, if you
pay a person $1,600 or more
during 2008, you are obligated as an “employer” to deduct
Social Security and Medicare
taxes (cumulatively called
“FICA”) and FUTA -- the federal unemployment tax.
Guidelines require that you
include cash paid and also
reimbursement for transportation, meals, etc.
If funds are available to
pay the caregivers, to keep
them working, you could
increase their wages enough
to cover both the employer’s
and the employee’s share of
the withholding. If increased
tax bills are the issue, you
could even offer to increase
their wages to cover all or part
of the increase in taxes. But be
careful, because assuming
these obligations could be
very expensive.
You could contact an
agency that supplies caregivers. Agencies assume the
reporting and withholding
responsibilities and, while
you may pay more per hour,
in the long run, it may be
worth it to put this obligation
on the shoulders of professionals even though your
hourly rate will be more.
Above all, be careful: If
you unwittingly conspire to
keep someone on benefits
who shouldn’t be there, you
may be up to your neck in hot
water.

Letters from our readers
From the desk of ...
Please bring back the polls
To the Editor:
The delay in learning the results of the
June 3rd election is frustrating. To me,
however, it is also a teachable moment.
Having advocated a return to public voting in our county since 2006 when 201 of
the 235 precincts became mail-in only
precincts, I am now armed with data to
show both why the election results are
delayed and that when given the choice,
county voters prefer to vote at a polling
place.
Some 81 percent of county ballots (not
counting 439 provisional ballots) were
cast by mail, or were placed in envelopes
and turned in at polling places. Before
those ballots could be counted, the county
elections staff of two plus the County
Registrar of Voters and volunteers had to
verify the registrations of the mail-in voters.
Verification of 22,220 ballots was no
easy task. On the backs of the ballot
envelopes the information provided by the
voter had to be checked: First, the signature was checked against the signature
card on file in the county office; Second,
the address was checked against the current voter registration card; Third, when a
voter authorized another person to take a
ballot to a polling place, that voter had to
properly authorize the other person to do
so. All that time spent verifying voter
information and still the votes are not
counted!
On Friday, June 6, when I visited the
elections office to obtain the data needed
to write this article, the verification task
had been completed, resulting in the rejection of 466 or 2 percent of all the mail-in
(including absentee) ballots. The 466 good
people who thought their votes would be
counted will be notified eventually that
their ballots could not be counted and the
reasons. Most likely they will learn they
overlooked some detail.
Had the 466 good people been able to
cast their ballot by signing the roster at a
polling place, filling out a ballot in a voting booth, and placing the ballot in a ballot box, their 466 votes would have been
counted. This is so because there are no
tricky hurdles to jump when a voter casts
a ballot at a polling place. At a polling
place, a voter merely signs a roster, gets a
ballot, fills out the ballot in a voting booth
and places the ballot in the ballot box.
When offered the choice, voters whose
precinct polling place remains open opted
to cast their ballots there; 60 percent of
the 9,347 ballots cast where voters could
cast their ballots at a polling place were
cast by voting there. The remaining 40
percent were cast by absentee ballots,
either mailed in, or brought to a polling
place.
Contrast the time it is taking to process
the remaining 10,800 mail-in ballots (still
not finished) with the time it took to
process the ballots cast at polling places.
For the 5,636 ballots cast at polling places
plus the mail-in ballots that were returned
early, we knew the night of the election
how the candidates and ballot measures
fared according to only 35 percent of the
voters. Where the results are close, such as
in the June 3 election, the remaining ballots may change the outcome.
So, county voters, it is up to you.
Would you prefer to learn the results the
night of the election? If so, you should ask
to have more polling places opened. Now,
only 14 percent of the precincts have
polling places. It’s simple: the more
polling places, the more ballots cast in
polling places, the faster we learn the election results.
Who should you ask? Susan Ranochak,
County Clerk-Registrar of Voters, is in
charge of elections. Her phone number is
463-4371 and she may be reached via email at acr@co.mendocino.ca.us

We all know that gasoline is at $4 a gallon and oil is
at $135 a barrel. But if you think that’s the end of the
story, don’t talk to economist Jeffrey Rubin of CIBC
World Markets. By Rubin’s reckoning, we’ve barely
passed the halfway point on a steady march upward
that will take gasoline to $7 a gallon and oil to $225 by
2012. Despite fluctuations, the underlying rise, he
says, will have pervasive and surprising side effects.
Among them:
• U.S. manufacturers benefit, because rising oceanfreight costs -- reflecting fuel prices -- make imports
more expensive. Some production returns to the
United States, and some shifts from Asia to closer
exporters (Mexico over China). Since 2000, estimates
Rubin, the cost of shipping a 40-foot container from
East Asia has gone from $3,000 to $8,000. With oil at
$200 a barrel, the shipping cost would be $15,000.
• Inflation becomes more stubborn. For years, the
Federal Reserve has focused on so-called core inflation -- prices minus energy and food. The justification
is that large food and energy price changes usually
reverse themselves. But if they move steadily higher,
that logic collapses. “While core inflation may be
barely over 2 percent, that’s only of solace if you don’t
eat or drive,” Rubin says. Overall inflation is twice
that, about 4 percent.
• Two distressed industries -- homebuilding and
autos -- suffer further. “In two years, there will be
fewer Americans driving,” he says. Higher gasoline
prices push people to mass transit and car pools. Home
prices take another hit, especially in distant suburbs
with long commutes. “People won’t be able to afford
what they used to afford,” he says.
Do not underestimate oil’s fallout. The world may
have arrived at Peak Oil, when dwindling oil reserves
no longer permit much annual increase in production.
This may not be literally true; estimates of vast undiscovered oil reservoirs imply that Peak Oil is decades
away. But governments that control 75 percent or more
of known reserves are behaving as if Peak Oil is
already here. They’re hoarding a scarce commodity by
limiting new exploration projects. Meanwhile, production at some old fields is dropping rapidly. Spare
capacity has been depleted, as demand outruns new
supply.
High prices close the gap. The grim price outlook
by Rubin and others presumes that this situation persists. Of course, they could be wrong if higher prices
cause demand to drop sharply and supplies increase
unexpectedly. In the United States, prices have already
led to less driving. In March, highway travel was down
4.3 percent from a year earlier. Buying patterns for
vehicles have shifted. Through May, sales of SUVs
dropped 31 percent from a year earlier, reports wardsauto.com. Oil demand is also stagnating in Europe
and Japan.
But higher demand from developing countries and
oil producers is offsetting the lower demand of
wealthy countries. Consumption in these countries
will rise 3 percent in 2008, projects the International
Energy Agency.
There’s been a huge transfer of power to oil producers. Even at $100 a barrel, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait
and the United Arab Emirates will earn almost $8 trillion in oil revenues between now and 2020, estimates
the McKinsey Global Institute. More troubling are the
political implications. “This has really strengthened
the Iranians, Russians and Venezuelans to be more
provocative in the world,” says Larry Goldstein of the
Energy Policy Research Foundation. Although governments control crude supplies, private companies
have dominated distribution. Anyone can buy oil at a
price. Now oil could become a political commodity
offered to friends at a discount, withheld from rivals.
How can we retrieve some of our lost power? The
first thing is to get out of denial. Stop blaming oil companies and “speculators.” Next, we need to expand
domestic oil and natural-gas drilling, including Alaska.
Although we can’t “drill our way” out of this problem,
we can augment oil supplies and lessen price strains. It
might take 10 years or more, because new projects are
huge undertakings. But delay will only aggravate our
future problems.
Finally, we need to realize high prices may stimulate new biofuels from wood chips, food waste and
switch grass. Production costs of these fuels may be in
the range of $1 a gallon, says David Cole of the Center
for Automotive Research. If true, that’s well below
today’s wholesale gasoline prices. To assure new producers that they wouldn’t be wiped out if oil prices
plunged, we should set a floor price for oil of $50 to
$80 a barrel, says Cole. This could be done with a
standby tariff that would activate only if prices hit the
threshold. Oil prices are unpredictable and should a
price collapse occur, Americans wouldn’t be deluded
into thinking we’ve returned permanently to cheap
energy. We’ve made that mistake before.

High security
for Olympic
flame in
western China
By SCOTT McDONALD
Associated Press
49ers break camp on Thursday, Hill
still plans to spend part of every day
back home in Osage Beach, Mo.,
deep in playbook study, and another
part throwing to a local high-school
quarterback who painted his house
last year.
“I feel like it’s definitely a fair
competition,” Hill said. “I’ve got
nothing to make me think otherwise.
... It’s going to be an exciting
offense, for sure, and we definitely
have the players for it. Everybody is
KASHGAR, China — Tight
security surrounded the Olympic
flame Tuesday as it began its journey through China’s restive
Muslim western region of
Xinjiang.
Security agents jogged on either
side of torchbearers and hundreds
of police and military watched
subdued crowds as the flame
wound its way through Xinjiang’s
capital of Urumqi. Although state
media has warned of the threat
from separatists they claim are
linked with global terrorism, no
disruptions were reported.
The flame travels through the
ancient Silk Road city of Kashgar
Wednesday. Unlike in Urumqi,
immigrants from China’s dominant Han ethnic group are a minority.
On Tuesday night, Kashgar’s
streets were largely empty. Some
streets had been closed and shops
along the relay route locked up
early.
But security to head off disruptions geared up Wednesday as
hundreds of militia and police
lined the torch relay route.
Bystanders, who were bused in
from their work units, had to go
through metal detectors and foreign journalists were restricted
from traveling around freely.
The Olympic flame has had a
smooth run in China, undisturbed
by protests over Tibet and human
rights that hounded parts of its
international tour. Yet the routes in
Xinjiang and Tibet are the most
sensitive, a fact underscored by the
precautions. The dates for the
Tibet relay have not been
announced.
In Kashgar, near the border with
Central Asia, Afghanistan and
Pakistan, the relay will start in a
square dominated by a giant statue
of Mao Zedong, a reminder of
heavy handed Communist Party
rule over the region since People’s
Liberation Army forces entered in
1949.
Unarmed militia were deployed
overnight along the torch route,
which was lined with Olympic
banners.
“We’re here to provide security,” one militia member stationed
with four others at an underpass
said in halting Chinese. “We will
be here all night.” He refused to
give his name, saying only “that’s
not good” when asked why.
Overseas activists have criticized China for using the Olympic
torch relay to demonstrate its control over the restive areas, many of
whose native residents reject
claims that they have long been an
integral part of Chinese territory
and resent Han dominance over
the economy and government.
Like Tibet, Xinjiang is a region
with a culture and language distinct from that of the Han.
Radicals among its main Turkic
speaking Uighur ethnic group
have for decades been waging a
low-intensity struggle against
Chinese rule. An unknown number
have been sentenced to prison
terms or death for allegedly
espousing separatism or subversion.

NASCAR driver Derek Thorn “Racin' For A Cure” to fight ALS
By CURTIS CLAUSON
Special to The Daily Journal
Lakeport - Raised in Lakeport
and now driving in the NASCAR
Camping World East regional
series, Derek Thorn returns to the
Lakeport Speedway for the Fourth
of July weekend to race, not just
for a trophy, but for a cause. His
“Racin' For A Cure” team will
travel from Wisconsin to raise
awareness and donations for their
primary sponsor, the ALS
Association, to help fight ALS
(Lou Gehrig's Disease).
Derek, raised in Lakeport by
Rick and Carol Thorn, started racing Karts at the Lakeport
Speedway.
He
eventually
advanced to a Bomber for a few
years, and finally a Modified. By
2006, 21 years of age, he was
looking for the next step up.
At the same time, Scott
Pfeiffer, a 42 year-old Wisconsin
resident, life-long fan of racing,
and a past Sprint and Midget racer
himself, was looking for a driver.
His mother, who lives in
Kelseyville and is a friend of the
Thorn family, introduced him to
Derek. He proposed they form an
ASA Late Model team based in
Wisconsin.

NFL | 49ERS
Niners still cramming offense with no QB starter
By GREG BEACHAM
Associated Press
SANTA CLARA — After Shaun
Hill wraps up the San Francisco
49ers’ final offseason workouts this
week, he’ll still be wondering
whether he’s finally going to be a
starting NFL quarterback this season.
Alex Smith also will still be wondering whether he’ll get to keep his
job.
The former No. 1 overall draft
pick is still in competition with
career third-stringer Hill for the top
INSIDE:
role in Mike Martz’s offense, and
nearly three weeks of organized
team activities haven’t done much
to produce a favorite, at least
according to Martz and coach Mike
Nolan.
“The pleasing thing about it is I
do believe we have three guys that
could win a game for us, and that’s
good,” Nolan said Tuesday, including well-traveled newcomer J.T.
O’Sullivan in the mix despite
noticeably fewer turns in workouts.
“I like our situation more now than
any time I’ve been in here.”
The competition probably will
have to be resolved early in training
camp, but Nolan and Martz don’t
feel any need to declare a starting
quarterback early on. The 49ers
have bigger concerns and heavier
work to do in replacing the NFL’s
worst offense last season with
Martz’s inventive, tested schemes.
The installation appears to be
proceeding on schedule, with the
players and coaches motoring
through a two-minute drill in
Tuesday’s workout with few obvious mental slip-ups. But after the

excited to get in the offense
and see where it takes us.
We’re a lot further along now
than we were a year ago at
this time.”
Smith, who’s already entering his fourth NFL season, has
much the same study-andworkout plans for his fiveweek break at home in
California.
“There’s a lot new for me,”
Smith said. “A quarterback is
asked to do a lot, to have a lot
of different tools out there. ...
A lot of this offense is built on
timing, and that comes down
to trust that when I let the ball
go, that guy is going to be
there. Anticipation comes
with the confidence of knowing what is going on, and then
trusting it.”
One immediate change
noticed by both Smith and
Hill is Martz’s attitude toward
defensive pressure. When the
49ers’ quarterbacks noticed a
blitz developing before a snap
last season, they directed
blocking protection toward it.
This season, Smith or Hill will
be more likely to make a hot
read for a quick throw into the
part of the defense vacated by
the blitzer.
That’s elementary stuff for
the NFL’s competent offenses,
but it’s a new way of thinking
for Smith and Hill. The entire
San Francisco offense’s
inflexibility under coordinator
Jim
Hostler
repeatedly
showed last season.
“Watching this offense, it
looks like there’s a gunslinger
back there, but it’s very much
the opposite of, ’Just go out
there and fling,”’ Smith said.
“Everything is done for a reason. It’s very structured.”
Martz still is exploring new
ways to use the 49ers’ offensive talent. While Frank Gore
will have several roles to utilize his superb pass-catching
skills in addition to his rushing, tight end Vernon Davis
finds himself in multiple
offensive roles, sometimes in
the same play.
“My role has really
changed in finding different
holes to sit in so the ball can
get to me,” said Davis, the
49ers’ second-leading receiver last year despite being
obviously underused in several games. “I’m running vertical a lot more, using my speed
to get down the field.
“People say the system is
hard, but if you put time into
it, you can make it as easy as
possible. Martz, he’ll get the
most out of you. He’ll work
you, but he’ll make you
understand how to do certain
things.”
Notes: The 49ers claimed
DT LaJuan Ramsey off
waivers from Philadelphia on
Tuesday. Ramsey, a former
USC star, played in 15 games
over two seasons with the
Eagles, who drafted him in the
sixth round. ... The 49ers said
OT Ramiro Pruneda has been
assigned to the club as part of
the NFL’s international practice squad program. Pruneda,
a member of four national
championship
teams
in
Mexico, spent last season
with Kansas City and
Philadelphia. ... OT Larry
Allen still hasn’t spoken to the
49ers about whether he plans
to retire.

SPORTS
Flame
year, authorities say they
foiled plots by what they
called Xinjiang separatists,
including alleged attempts to
crash an airliner and kidnap
Olympic athletes and journalists.
The boost in security for
the torch is a continuation of
measures put in place since
April 2007, said Nicholas
Bequelin, an expert on
Xinjiang with the Hong
Kong-based Human Rights
Watch.
“They’ve been working
pretty hard at it,” he said of
the Chinese government.
“The security is very telling
because it shows that ultimately, despite the fact that
the government says the situation is stable and people are
content, they know they don’t
have the loyalty of these people.”
Bequelin also dismissed
the accusations of terrorism.
“Beijing has undercut its
credibility by consistently
labeling criminal acts, antigovernment violence and
peaceful dissent as terrorism,”
he said.
In Urumqi, police and
troops watched thousands of
onlookers, hand-picked by
officials, as they waved the
national flag and shouted “Go
China!” from behind metal
barriers. Police with dogs
patrolled Muslim areas.
But overall, the mood was
subdued compared with some
of the enthusiastic crowds that
greeted earlier legs.
One Uighur woman walking in the center of Kashgar
said that while she thought the
Olympics were good, “I have
no interest in the torch relay.”
She said she felt uncomfortable giving her name.
The relay will start in
Kashgar with a minute’s
silence, as every leg has since
the May 12 earthquake in
Sichuan province that killed
nearly 70,000 people.
Activist Dilxat Raxit,
spokesman for the Germanybased
World
Uighur
Congress, said in an e-mail
Tuesday that authorities
warned that anyone who voluntarily spoke to reporters
“about the country’s sensitive
issues will be severely dealt
with.”
“If the circumstances are
serious, they will be charged
with leaking state secrets,” he
said. The vague charge is one
Beijing often uses to detain
dissidents.
Telephone operators at the
Xinjiang and Urumqi public
security bureaus said officials
were not available for comment Tuesday because of the
torch relay.
Before it returns to Beijing
on Aug. 6, two days ahead of
the opening ceremony for the
Olympics, the flame will have
crossed every region and
province of China. A separate
flame was carried to the summit of Mount Everest last
month.
Cure
The two quickly became
fast friends and everything
seemed to go their way. With
Scott acting as Derek's agent,
the team came quickly together and attracted some some
excellent people. They were
on-track for the 2007 season
with the No. 44 ASA Late
Model when, in July, everything changed.
The muscle and speech
problems lately plaguing
Scott were diagnosed as ALS
(Amyotrophic
Lateral
Sclerosis), also known as Lou
Gehrig's Disease. This is a
degenerative condition that
attacks the nerves in the brain
and spine that control motor
functions, like movement and
speech. It is progressive, the
symptoms and rate of
advancement are unique to
each person, and there is yet
no cure.
Scott is known for his composure, but even he was
daunted by this. Derek and the
team helped their friend deal
with this as best they could
while continuing to run the
2007 season, but it became
apparent that Scott's condition
was advancing rapidly, quickly affecting his legs, arms,
hands, and speech.
The team also was suffering the same problems as
other teams, with projects and
negotiations canceled and
money harder to find. Toward
the end of the year, Scott
decided a change was needed
and he was going to fight for
himself and others.
Following an old racing
axiom “You use what you
got,” Scott and Derek
redesigned the team concept
to include Scott's condition.
They proposed the “Racin'
For A Cure” team with the
ALS Association as their pri-
mary sponsor, to use the team
to help current ALS patients,
and to fight the disease by
raising awareness and funds
for research.
Within 24 hours, representatives of the Wisconsin chapter of ALSA were in a meeting
with Scott's team and friends
to make this happen. Scott
turned to his friend and fellow
race fan Shawn Keep, who
had already been considering
becoming a team owner, and
asked him if he'd like to fund
the project. Shawn's answer
was simple and direct: “Now
we have a reason to race.”
For the 2008 season, the
team expanded with a second
car for Derek to drive in the
NASCAR Camping World
East regional series. Each racing event for them is also a
fund raiser for the ALSA, and
a chance to host and meet
other PALS (People with
ALS) for a day of racing.
Their goal is to raise $1 million for the cause by the end
of the year. All donations and
the proceeds from merchandise sales go to the ALSA,
made more effective since
owner Shawn Keep provides
all the merchandise at cost
through his promotional merchandising
company:
PromoGiant.
Derek states that, “this is
the learning year for our team
that will allow us to seriously
establish ourselves in both
series.” Scott is the General
Manager, and they consider
themselves lucky to have
attracted some excellent people: 32 year-old Chad Wood
as Crew Chief, and 46 yearold John Klock as Car Chief.
The entire team will be
here
at
the
Lakeport
Speedway for the Fourth of
July Deake Lyndall Memorial
on both Friday and Saturday,
to race with the Late Models
and to raise awareness and
donations for the ALS cause.
The Lakeport Speedway is
doing their part by donating
10% of the front-gate tickets.
Every ticket bought is another
donation to fight ALS.
Derek is, “looking forward
to seeing my family and
friends, and to racing with
boyhood mentors like Mike
Doss, David Furia, and Bill
Binns.” Derek spends a lot of
his time promoting the team
cause in the national spotlight
on TV and radio, and is excited to meet his hometown fans.
Scott is, “looking forward
to seeing my family, watching
Derek race, and educating
people about ALS, how they
can help, and how others who
suffer with this condition can
cope.” Despite the advanced
state of his own condition, he
is still the active General
Manager of his team and a
spokesman for the ALSA.
He is able to accomplish
this because “The desire to
fight for this cause inspires
me, and doing this with the
sport and people that I love
makes each day a delight.”
His advice to anyone suffering
from this or any other debilitating condition is just that:
“Use what you got, live each
day to its fullest, and never
take anything for granted.”
You can find out more

Racin' For A Cure team, and

NFL | RAIDERS
Police: Cash taken
from Javon Walker
in robbery
By KEN RITTER
Associated Press
LAS VEGAS — Oakland
Raiders wide receiver Javon
Walker remained hospitalized
with a concussion and a battered face Tuesday, one day
after he was beaten, robbed
and left unconscious on a Las
Vegas street after a night of
partying.
Police said a large amount
of cash and some jewelry
were taken from Walker, who
suffered “a moderate concussion and significant injuries to
his face.”
Police Lt. Clinton Nichols
said detectives are retracing
Walker’s activities in the
hours before he was found
injured Monday morning on a
street off the Las Vegas Strip.
“That’s one of the first
things we do, backtrack what
he did and where he stayed,”
Nichols said, adding that the
investigation was still in the
early stages. “We knew there
was a large amount of cash
taken, and some jewelry.”
According to reports published Tuesday in the Las
Vegas
Review-Journal,
Walker visited a nightclub,
Tryst, at the Wynn Las Vegas
resort on Saturday night. He
spent Sunday night at another
club, Body English at the
Hard Rock hotel-casino,
before leaving about 3:30 a.m.
Monday, according to casino
spokeswoman
Dorian
Cantrell.
Cantrell said there were no
reports of a disturbance at the
club.
Nichols said detectives
spoke briefly with Walker on
Monday and planned a second
interview Tuesday evening at
Sunrise Hospital and Medical
Center.
A Raiders spokesman said
the team was in the process of
gathering information and had
no further comment.
On Monday, police Officer
Bill Cassell said in a statement that Walker was taken to
a hospital with “significant
injuries” and was in fair condition.
Walker, 29, signed a sixyear, $55 million deal with the
Raiders after being released
by the Denver Broncos in
February.
Walker sought a fresh start
after Broncos teammate
Darrent Williams died in his
arms in the back of a limousine on Jan. 1, 2006 in downtown Denver.
In a 2007 “Real Sports”
interview, Walker said then
teammate Brandon Marshall
and his cousin exchanged
heated words with two men
who later confronted Williams
and his group after taking
offense
when
Marshall
sprayed them with champagne.
The drive-by shooting
remains unsolved.
Walker was a first-round
draft pick by the Green Bay
Packers in 2001 and had a
breakout season in 2004 with
89 catches for 1,382 yards and
12 touchdowns.
He tore a ligament in his
right knee the next season and
played only one game.
He was traded to Denver in
2006 and bounced back with
69 catches for 1,084 yards and
eight touchdowns.
Walker injured his right
knee for the second time in his
career last season and was
limited to eight games and 26
catches in 2007.

Shared enterprises can hold

You will base your decisions

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Although you are a highly
social person, you're likely to

than a social one. Plan your
time around doing something
productive.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

Advice sought on aiding boyfriend with an alcohol addiction
ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: I am going out with a great
guy. He has a good job and a nice car, gets
along with my family, everything. He is only a
year older than I am. The problem is, he is an
alcoholic.
“Todd” drinks almost every night when he
gets off work and sometimes in the morning,
too. I have asked him to stop, and we have gotten into numerous fights because of his drinking. He’s already lost his license once because
of his driving under the influence.
Annie, I would do anything for Todd
because he has helped me get my life back on
track. Thanks to him, I have a decent job and
am saving to get an apartment.
Is there anything I can do to help him, or am
I better off letting him go? -- Confused
Dear Confused: You can contact Al-Anon
(al-anon.alateen.org) at 1-888-4AL-ANON (1888-425-2666) for support and information.
However, we strongly urge you to keep your
By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
distance from Todd unless he gets help for his
alcohol addiction. You cannot “fix” him. He
has to do it himself. And he should do it before
you get more involved with him.
Dear Annie: I am a 16-year-old male and
consider myself very social. The problem is, I
am not good with names. I often run into people who know me, but I can’t remember who
they are or how I know them.
I feel very awkward and do all I can to
dodge saying their name. I try to jog my memory by asking how their family is or if they
remember the last time I saw them. I don’t
want to offend the other person by admitting I
don’t recall who they are. Is there some polite
WEDNESDAY EVENING
6/18/08 6:00 6:30 7:00 7:30 8:00 8:30 9:00 9:30 10:00 10:30 11:00
way to ask? -- Owen in Vermont
Dear Owen: Most experts agree that the
best way to remember someone’s name is to
repeat it after being introduced. Then, if possible, try to associate the name with some characteristic about the person, or with someone
you are reminded of who has the same name.
Some people even make a short rhyme (“Tall
Paul” or “No-Meat Pete” for example). If you
can repeat the person’s name several times during your first encounter, it will help.
However, if you do forget (and we all do),
it’s OK to say, “I’m really sorry, but I have a
terrible problem remembering names. Can you
please tell me yours again?” If you are upfront
and noticeably embarrassed by your gaffe, you
are more likely to be forgiven.
Dear Annie: I’ve been married for 22 years.
As soon as I said “I do,” I was kicked to the
back of the closet like an old shoe. When I saw
the letter from “Craving Intimacy in Indiana,”
I read it to my husband, along with several of
the brokenhearted responses from your readers
explaining how they felt so rejected and
unloved.
When I finished, I asked my husband if this
is what he wanted for me. He said, “No, I’ll
talk to my doctor.” But he forgot. Twice. So the
third time, I went with him to his regular
checkup and asked his doctor, “Is there anything you can do to make my husband more
interested in having sex?” The doctor looked at
my husband’s curly biker beard and said, “I’m
glad you said something because I wouldn’t
have checked that.”
It turns out his testosterone levels were way
low, so the doctor began giving him shots -one every two weeks for 12 weeks. Now my
husband is chasing me around the house. And
he helps with the housework and in the garden.
He’s losing weight, getting stronger and growing back his armpit hair.
I don’t know what happened to my old husband, but they can keep him. I’m hanging on to
this new guy. Thanks to everyone who wrote in
to share their pain. It was the catalyst for
change in my life. -- New Shoe in Michigan

Marriage
day of same-sex marriages
Tuesday, with hundreds of
happy gay and lesbian
couples ready to take the
plunge in what in some cities
was a party atmosphere.
By an hour before closing
time, a representative from
the Mendocino County
Clerk’s office said 15 licenses
had been issued and at least
13 ceremonies had been
performed.
From San Diego to
Eureka, couples readied their
formal wear, local licensing
clerks expanded their staffs
and conservative groups
warned of a backlash as the
nation’s most populous state
joined Massachusetts in
sanctioning gay unions.
Some couples were from
out of state. Unlike
Massachusetts, which
legalized same-sex marriage
in 2004, California has no
residency requirement for
marriage licenses.
Even though the first
same-sex marriage vows
were traded in Mendocino
County Tuesday, the fresh
crop of married partners were
by no means the first legally
married same-sex couple
currently residing in the area.
County residents Joel Clarke
and Joe Dresch, for example,
were wed on Sept. 12, 2003
in Quebec City, Quebec,
Canada.
A representative from the
Mendocino County Clerk’s
office confirmed that out-ofstate and out-of-country
marriages that were
performed legally before the
ban was lifted in California,
such as Clark and Dresch’s,
were automatically
recognized as of Tuesday.
“It was part of the
(California) Supreme Court’s
ruling,” said Joel Clarke.
The May 15 California
Supreme Court ruling that
overturned the state’s ban on
same-sex marriage became
final at 5:01 p.m. Monday,
and clerks in at least five
counties extended their hours
to mark the occasion.
Already, dozens of samesex couples have seized the
opportunity to make their
relationships official in the
eyes of the law.
On Monday, San Francisco
Mayor Gavin Newsom, who
helped start the series of
lawsuits that led the court to
strike down California’s oneman-one-woman marriage
laws, presided at the wedding
of Del Martin, 87, and
Phyllis Lyon, 83.
Newsom picked the couple
for the only ceremony
Monday in City Hall to
recognize their 55-year
relationship and their status
as pioneers of the gay rights
movement. More than 650
same-sex couples have made
appointments to get marriage
licenses in San Francisco
before the end of the month.
A handful of male couples,
including Charles Lacey and
his partner David Swingle,
also took the plunge Tuesday
morning at the Mendocino
County Clerk’s office.
“Emotional,” said Lacey,
describing his feelings as
Swingle busily filled out the
necessary paperwork. “We
just celebrated our 20-year
anniversary on Mother’s Day.
That’s always been our day.”
Betty Lacey, of Ukiah,
took it upon herself to spread
flowers picked from her
garden along the front doors
of the building in honor of
the day.
Lacey said she saw the
decision as a sign of things to
come for the rest of the
nation.
“I was in Boston and it
was on the front page of their
papers,” she said, as she
stood near the bike she rode.
“They were first with (samesex marriage), but we as
Californians are leaders in
the nation, so it makes sense
for us to be on the forefront.”
In a few months,
Californians will go to the
ballot box to vote on an
initiative that would overturn
the high court ruling and
again ban gay marriage.
On Monday, three
lawmakers and a small group
of other same-sex-marriage
opponents gathered outside
the Capitol to criticize the
Supreme Court decision.
They urged voters to approve
the ballot measure.
Groups that oppose samesex marriage have pursued
several legal avenues to stop
the weddings. On Monday,
just hours before the ruling
went into effect, a
conservative legal group
asked the California Court of
Appeal in Sacramento to
order the state agency that
oversees marriages to stop
issuing gender-neutral
marriage licenses.
But a three-judge panel for
the court rejected the request
Tuesday, saying the high
court made it clear that samesex marriage should be
allowed.
A UCLA study issued last
week estimated that if the
ballot measure is rejected,
half of California’s more than
100,000 same-sex couples
will get married over the next
three years, and 68,000 outof-state couples will travel
here to exchange vows.
For today though, samesex marriage proponents
savored their victory and
made plans for the future.
“I’m going back to work
tomorrow,” said Jennifer
Sooknemizell, after the
ceremony. “We’re planning a
honeymoon soon, but we just
had a grandson.”

Future firefighters train at lake

Calfire conducted an academy training burn on the east side of Lake Mendocino Monday for 41 future firefighters. The academy started last Monday and finishes the end of this week. Upon graduation from the academy, the firefighters will be stationed at Calfire fire stations in Mendocino County.
County
“The rate of growth has
decreased along with our
increased cost,” he said. “The
board has made some tough
decisions over the last few
years.”
In his “Proposed Budget
Overview,” Mitchell outlined
several projects he would be
working on in order to stabilize
general fund expenditures.
These included:
- Working with local law
enforcement and the district
attorney to determine potential
cost savings.
- Review of the current
staffing plan and appropriate
Banker
scholarship program for female
students to pursue a medical
education. The Allens had no
heirs.
According to court reports,
Harrison is alleged to have consolidated all the Allens’ assets.
“Almost
immediately
Defendant James Lester
Harrison began using the trust
funds as his own and for his
personal benefit,” the Attorney
General’s Office wrote in its filing.
After the Allens died, UHS
was never notified of the scholarship fund they had intended
to establish and no funds were
ever awarded the school,
according to court reports.
In February of 2005, the
audit department of the Savings
personnel classifications in the
water agency.
- Increased automation
efforts and online access to program materials by the public.
- Continuing discussions
with ambulance providers and
fire districts with a goal of providing a stable funding source.
- Reducing the general fund
subsidy to the Solid Waste
Division.
- Exploring opportunities for
reorganization of services and
new partnerships with local
cities.
- Reviewing the status of
court facilities in Willits for
possible closure.
“Although county departments were asked to prepare for
a 6 percent reduction in their
budgets, not all departments
Bank of Mendocino County
received a complaint from a
bank employee that Harrison
was making private loans from
the trust. According to court
reports, an internal investigation was performed, the trust
was closed and Harrison was
put on administrative leave.
The case was forwarded to
the Federal Deposit Insurance
Commission and eventually to
the Attorney General’s Office.
Harrison is scheduled to be
arraigned at 8:30 a.m. June 26
in Department A. He is charged
with theft, grand theft, destruction of property and three
counts of filing false tax
returns.
Harrison will be represented
by Ukiah attorney David
Eyster. Attempts to contact
Eyster Tuesday were not successful.

could absorb these cuts without
affecting their current service
levels to the public or other
county departments,” Mitchell
stated. “Most departments have
already been reduced to ‘bare
bones budgets’ and could not
further reduce their budget
requests.”
Mitchell said the budget
woes the county was facing
reflected the dire financial outlook for the state as a whole.
“Because of the economy,
we’ve borrowed an awful lot of
money at the state level and
payments have to be made,” he
said. “There are rumors that the
state will be out of cash at midSeptember at some point. They
will be proposing some form of
revenue enhancement bonds.
The best intelligence we have
so far is we think the
Legislature will probably pass a
budget in August. We’re hopeful that we’ll get some lead time
before we go through and do
our final budget.”
California lawmakers are
keeping up with tradition by
missing the constitutional deadline by which they’re supposed
to approve a new state budget.
It’s nothing new. State lawmakers haven’t passed a budget
by June 15 since 1986, although
they came close in 1999, missing the deadline by only one
day. There’s no penalty if they
don’t meet the deadline.
They also haven’t been batting 1.000 as far as getting a
budget in place by July 1, the
start of a new fiscal year.
They’ve reached that goal only
a dozen times during the last 30
years.
In 2003, the year voters
recalled Gov. Gray Davis in
part because of skyrocketing
budget deficits, lawmakers didn’t approve a budget until Aug.
31.
There is no movement this
year to recall Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger, but the state is
again facing a big budget deficit
-- $15.2 billion -- and the likelihood of another long budget
deadlock in the Legislature.
Kristi Furman, clerk of the
board, said the county budget
will be scheduled for final
adoption on the consent calendar at the following week’s regularly scheduled meeting.
“It is a work session today,”
said Mitchell. “We will be
working toward adoption next
week.”
