‘She’s the Man’
If you think it is hard being a twin
think again.
“She’s the Man,” directed by Andy
Fickman starring Amanda Bynes (“What a
Girl Wants”), Channing Tatum (“Coach
Carter”), Laura Ramsey (“Lords of
Dogtown”) and James Kirk (“Two for the
Money”) is a light-hearted romantic comedy that will keep you laughing to the end.
Viola (Bynes) is a girl who loves to
play soccer and has a twin brother. When
her high school cuts the girls’ soccer program because there was not enough girls
that tried out she must resort to other
means to play the game. She asks the
boys’ coach at her school if the girls left
on their team can try out, but (surprise!)
the boys’ coach does not think they could
run as fast, be as strong or play as good as
the guys can.
Viola has an interesting and spontaneous twin brother named Sebastian. After
getting kicked out of his high school he
decides to sneak off to London with his
band for two weeks just before his new
boarding school is about to start. Before
leaving he asks Viola to call his new
school pretending to be their mom and
give an excuse for him being absent.
However, Viola has better idea.
Viola decides she could take
Sebastian’s place at his new high school,
Illyria Prep, by disguising herself as her
brother and getting a spot on the boys’
soccer team. Illyria Prep has a boys match
against her high school academy within
two weeks and she wants to show her high
school boys team that girls can play soccer just as good as boys.
When she reaches her brother’s school,
she is assigned her roommate, Duke
(Tatum), who is a nice a guy that plays for
the soccer team. As life at Illyria Prep progresses she starts to think of Duke as more
then just a roommate.
Duke, on the other hand likes Olivia
(Ramsey) who is the prettiest girl in
school. When Viola-as-Sebastian is paired
up with Olivia as a lab partner, things
become complicated. Duke asks Viola-asSebastian to help him get a date with
Olivia. Little did she know that Olivia has
fallen in love with her as Sebastian.
“She’s the Man” is a very funny comedy that will keep you engrossed. This
movie is loosely based on the play “The
Twelfth Night” written by William
Shakespeare, with classic themes that
stand the test of time here.
Also, unlike many movies that put all
of their best comedy in the commercials,
this movie is funny all the way through.
The only problem I could find with this
movie was the a very distracting sound
microphone clearly seen in several scenes
of the film.
Amanda Bynes does an amazing job as
the lead actress and keeps the film moving
all the way through with comedy and the
love triangle between many of the characters. As she plays Viola/Sebastian her
chemistry with each of the characters creates unity and gives the movie a sense of
togetherness.
This great cast of actors and actresses
will keep you laughing, you care about
them and you want to know how it all
ends. Not only is this a fun movie for
young people, but many adults will love
this romantic comedy as well.

Ukiah High hoping funds will reduce violence
By LAURA CLARK
The Daily Journal
With fights, assaults and
harassment all on the rise at
Ukiah High, school officials are pinning their
hopes on a program called
WIN, which they have
asked the state to fund with
a violence prevention
grant.The district submitted
its
grant
application
requesting $488,271 earlier
this month and will be notified whether or not it will
receive the funds by late
April or May, according to
Ukiah
High
School
Principal, Ken Montoya.
“The
Wildcat
Intervention Network project -- named after Ukiah
High School’s mascot, the
wildcat -- was born as the
result of intensified community concern about student comfort and safety on
the Ukiah High School
campus. ... The purpose of
WIN is to address school
safety and violence prevention issues identified by
community and youth focus
groups and to improve both
the actual safety and the
perception of safety at

Redwood Region Logging Conference
Champion
carvers come
to Ukiah
By LAURA CLARK
The Daily Journal
It’s amazing what a chainsaw can do when
it’s in good hands.
Intricate wood sculptures, on display
Saturday at the 68th Redwood Region Logging
Conference, stood where once were only logs.
Sawdust and wood chippings blanketed the
earth beneath the carvings, testimony to the fact
they did not come out of a mold.
Craftsmen from all over the United States
traveled to the Redwood Empire Fairgrounds to
compete in the invitational chainsaw carving
contest, which began Thursday and concluded
Saturday at noon. Saturday night the wooden
statues would be auctioned off at the
Timberman’s Banquet. Proceeds from the six
carvings -- which combined, could reportedly
reach into the neighborhood of $10,000 -- will
go to fund education in Lake, Mendocino,
Humboldt, and Del Norte counties.
The carvers, too, received prize money and
first and second place winners, were also given
new chainsaws.
Ironically, the man least excited about the
event, won first place -- $1,500 and a new
chainsaw -- for his sculpture of Smokey Bear.
Retired carver, Jerry Muir, of Leggett, said he
wasn’t planning on coming out this year.
“I came out of retirement to do this. I have
been running a saw since 1971. I logged for a
number of years and did stone sculpture for a
number of years and then went over to this,” he
said of the wood creations.
Asked what he likes about carving, Muir
said: “I don’t like it anymore. I’m an old man;
I hurt. It just absolutely fries my brain and it
doesn’t do my body any good.” Pushed to come
up with something, he said, “I like being finSee LOGGING, Page A-15

Anti-war protests sweep state
MATTER
OF FACT
By JUSTIN M. NORTON
Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — Three years after U.S.-led
forces invaded Iraq, thousands of anti-war demonstrators marched, chanted and carried mock coffins
in cities across California Saturday - including Ukiah
- to protest the occupation and demand a pullout of
American troops.
The protesters were bolstered by recent polls that
show waning domestic support for the campaign,
which has claimed the lives of more than 2,300 U.S.
soldiers and wounded more than 17,000 others.
From Sydney to London to New York, anti-war
demonstrations were staged in cities across the
United States and the world Saturday to mark the
third anniversary of the Iraq war.
In San Francisco, several thousand protesters
danced in the streets, beat drums, dressed as members of Bush’s cabinet and carried signs that read
“United World Not United States” and “Stop U.S.
Imperialism.”

More of the same -just worse, this time
In a recent column, I brought up the issue of
efficient government and wasted time in the
Board of Supervisors chambers. I was specifically peeved about a discussion on the proposed
emergency services panel which, while productive and reaching a natural end-point, was tabled
for a later meeting. Why? Because two supervisors were absent, and the three in attendance
wanted to give them their chance to vote.
Like I wrote then, there’s some good teamwork at play here but ultimately it was an hour

The world briefly
U.S.-Iraqi
sweep angers
Sunni Arabs
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) —
American and Iraqi troops
pushing through a desolate
area of Iraq’s Sunni Arab
heartland rounded up dozens
more suspected insurgents,
including alleged killers of a
television journalist, U.S. and
Iraqi officials said Saturday.
The three-day-old sweep
through villages 60 miles
north of Baghdad stirred
growing unease among leading Sunnis. One called it a
needless “escalation” at a time
of difficult negotiations over
forming a broad-based government representing all of
Iraq’s communities.
In Baghdad, meanwhile, a
dozen more bodies were
found as a shadowy war of
Shiite-Sunni reprisals went
on. And Shiite Muslim pilgrims heading to the holy city
of Karbala again came under
attack, with a roadside bomb
killing one and wounding
five.
Reports of violence came
from elsewhere as well: an oil
tanker driver shot dead 50
miles southeast of Baghdad, a
tribal sheik slain 30 miles
west of the capital, a car
bombing near a U.S. base in
the northern city of Tal Afar in
which the suicide driver was
the only casualty.
Visiting Baghdad, British
Defense Secretary John Reid
expressed concern about “a
greater degree of sectarian
violence,” but said he did not
believe civil war was imminent.
Anti-war
protesters rally
around world
NEW YORK (AP) —
Thousands of anti-war protesters took to the streets
around the world Saturday,
marking the third anniversary
of the U.S.-led invasion of
Iraq with demands that coalition troops leave immediately.
Wael Musfar of the Arab
Muslim American Federation
addressed more than 1,000
people who gathered in Times
Square near a recruiting station, which was guarded by
police.
“We say enough hypocrisy,
enough lies, our soldiers must
come home now,” Musfar said
from a parked flatbed truck.
Participants chanted, “Stop
the U.S. war machine, from
Iraq to Korea to the
Philippines.”
nation’s nearly $12 billion foreign tourism industry.
Many attendees emphasized that they support the
troops. “I have friends in Iraq
and I just want them to know
that I may not be able to support them there, but I can
here,” said Jose Avila, 36.
Protests also were held in
Australia, Asia and Europe,
but many events were far
smaller than organizers had
hoped. In London, police said
15,000 people joined a march
from Parliament and Big Ben
to a rally in Trafalgar Square.
The anniversary last year
attracted 45,000 protesters in
the city. (See Page 1 for full
story.)
Students, unions
protest in France
over jobs plan
PARIS (AP) — Students
clashed with police and
activists rampaged through a
McDonald’s restaurant and
torched the entrance to a Gap
store in the capital Saturday as
demonstrations against a government plan to loosen job
protections spread in a widening arc across France.
The protests against the
law, which drew some
500,000 people in cities
across the country, were the
biggest show yet of escalating
anger that is testing the
strength of the conservative
government before elections
next year.
The rallies and marches
were largely peaceful, but
police fired tear gas during
confrontations with stonethrowing youths in Paris. Four
officers and 12 protesters
were injured, and police
arrested at least 59 people,
Paris officials said.
Protests reached every corner of France, with organizers
citing 160 marches from the
small provincial town of
Rochefort in the southwest to
the major city of Lyon in the
southeast.
The Paris protest march
was the biggest, attracting
some 80,000 people, according to police. Organizers put
the number at 300,000.
Alabama mad cow

WASHINGTON (AP) —
Investigators may never figure

After the first case of mad
cow disease in December
2003, the government pledged
to get a nationwide program
into place quickly so officials
could track cows, pigs and
chickens from their birth to
the dinner table. Today, however, the system is a long way
off.
Alabama officials saw the
need firsthand last week as
they tried to discover where
the infected cow came from.
The animal had no ear tags,
tattoos or brands, and spent
less than a year on the farm
where she died. The trail
seems to have gone cold at an
auction where she was sold
last year.
The goal is to pinpoint a
single animal’s movements
within 48 hours after mad cow
or a different disease is discovered.
It is not an easy task in a
country with 9 billion chickens, pigs and cows.
Violence hits but
visitors still come
to Acapulco
ACAPULCO,
Mexico
(AP) — Ana Galeana was
arranging geraniums at her
Acapulco flower stall when
heavily armed men in a convoy of jeeps opened fire on a
police checkpoint across the
street.
When she and her 5-yearold daughter finally emerged
from hiding behind a crate of
roses, four gunmen were dead,
several policemen were seriously injured and bullet holes
scarred the church and storefronts along one of the main
avenues into the resort town.
In the past, the granddaddy
of Mexican tourist towns was
hardly touched by the gangland carnage seen elsewhere
in the country. But this year,
the city of more than 720,000
has been shaken by 15 execution-style slayings, four
grenade attacks on police stations and the Jan. 27 shootout.
Federal investigators link
the violence to a turf war
between drug gangs in northern Mexico for lucrative
smuggling routes into the
United States.
The bloodshed in Acapulco
poses one more headache for
President Vicente Fox, whose
administration already has
been rattled by drug-related
violence on the U.S. border.
Acapulco lies on a major drug
route to the United States, and

Neverland never
more? Jackson’s
playland goes dark
LOS OLIVOS, Calif. (AP)
— Here lies Neverland.
Trains once packed with
laughing children no longer
roll around the grounds. The
arcade that pulsed with rap
music, the curse words edited
out, has fallen silent. No one
waits at the gate with ice
cream for youngsters to
arrive.
After years of rumors about
its demise, the fantasy playland Michael Jackson created
as a celebration of childhood
and a retreat from his troubles
is going dark.
The pop star, now living
half a world away, dismissed
many of the remaining
employees Thursday after
agreeing to pay hundreds of
thousands of dollars in back
wages to avoid a lawsuit by
state labor officials. His
spokeswoman characterized
the moves as those of someone who will be away for an
extended period, not someone
abandoning a home for good.
The 2,600-acre estate,
which Jackson purchased for
$14.6 million in 1988, is
tucked into the California
countryside amid wineries
about 100 miles northwest of
Los Angeles.
The
singer
named
Neverland after the home of
Peter Pan. In an interview
aired in 2003, he insisted he
didn’t just identify with the
boy who wouldn’t grow up. “I
am Peter Pan,” he said.
Milosevic laid
to rest amid
nationalism
POZAREVAC,
SerbiaMontenegro
(AP)
—
Slobodan Milosevic was laid
to rest Saturday beneath a tree
at the family estate in his
hometown, a quiet end for a
man blamed for ethnic wars
that killed 250,000 people in
one of the turbulent Balkans’
bloodiest chapters.
The late Serbian leader’s
burial, a week after his death
while on U.N. trial charged
with genocide and crimes
against humanity, followed an
emotional
farewell
in
Belgrade that drew at least
80,000 Serb nationalists and
another in his birthplace
attended by up to 20,000
admirers.
As a cold drizzle fell, his
flag-draped coffin was low-
Ukiah Valley Mortuary
ered into a double grave with
a place for his widow, Mirjana
Markovic, who reportedly
wants to join him when she
dies.
The grave, marked with a
simple marble slab inscribed
with both of their names in
Cyrillic letters and the dates
1941-2006, was dug beneath a
favorite linden tree where the
couple first kissed as high
school sweethearts.
No immediate members of
Milosevic’s family attended.
A letter from the couple’s
son,
Marko
Milosevic,
expressed hope that the late
president’s death would
“sober up the humiliated Serb
people.”
“To die for one’s country
means to live forever,” his letter said.
No priest officiated at the
interment because Milosevic
was an avowed atheist.
Judge halts sales
of Notorious
B.I.G. album
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP)
— A judge halted sales of
Notorious B.I.G.’s breakthrough 1994 album “Ready
to Die” after a jury decided
the title song used part of an
Ohio Players tune without
permission.
The jury Friday awarded
$4.2 million in punitive and
direct damages to the two
music companies that own
rights to Ohio Players recordings.
The sales ban imposed by
U.S. District Judge Todd
Campbell affects the album
and the title song in any form,
including Internet downloads
and radio play.
The jury decided that Bad
Boy Entertainment and executive producer Sean “Diddy”
Combs illegally used a part of
the Ohio Players’ 1992 song
“Singing In The Morning.”
Bridgeport Music and
Westbound Records, which
owned the song rights, have
filed hundreds of lawsuits
over “sampling,” the practice
of lifting parts of old music
for new recordings. Most
were settled out of court.
The companies get most of
their income from song royalties by their artists, which
include funk legend George
Clinton, the Funkadelics and
the Ohio Players.

EARCH ENDS FOR NEW CITY MANAGER. The long
search for a new city manager officially ended last night
when the city council voted to approve a contract with
Napa’s former assistant city manager, D. Kent Payne.
THIS WAS NEWS
S
Payne, 37, won the contract for the $40,000-a-year slot after
councilmembers spent several months and “hundreds” of hours,
according to Interim-City Manager Lyell Cash, plowing through
104 applications.
“If you have to leave Napa, this is a nice place to come,” Payne
said of his new job. The Sacramento State Political Science
graduate has lived in Napa for the last 12 years, starting out in that
city’s public works department and moving up to the assistant city
manager position, in which he has worked for the last three years.
What can Ukiah expect of him? “I’m basically a fiscal
conservative,” Payne said last night. He claims experience in
annexations, dealing with the impact of growth, and the conflicts
between development and agriculture.
...Councilmembers also heard a report from Deputy Director of
Public Works Ted Goforth on the financial plight of Dial-A-Ride,
the city-owned taxi service.
Goforth told the council that fares must be increased. The
service, he said, is now only able to pay less than half its costs
from fares.
Upon hearing that the average cost per passenger has gone up to
$2.12 due to increased operating and maintenance costs, while as
of last January the average fare was only .79 cents,
Councilmember Mary Snyder concluded, “I don’t see that we
really have a choice other than increasing the fares.”
Snyder was not alone.
The council discussed merging, or at least coordinating Dial-ARide with the Mendocino County Transit Authority, thereby
consolidating public transportation in and around Ukiah.
Still, said Mayor Hickey, “Whichever way we go, the (Dial-ARide) rates are going to have to go up.”
Goforth proposed, for example, that the fare for a trip within
city limits be raised from the current 75 cents to at least $1.05.
Again, the council postponed action. Councilmembers will
await a report from MTA on coordination and consolidation of the
county and city transportation systems.

The Ukiah City Council last night approved the annexation of
the 155-acre airport industrial park into the city. ... The park –
which will consist of clean, non-polluting businesses and industries
– will lie between U.S. 101 and the airport. Developers of the
project concede, however, that the park could prove a marginal
investment because of its distance from the Bay Area and
competition with Santa Rosa.

COUNCIL PONDERING WHAT TO DO ABOUT BUILDING
NEW JAIL. City councilmen last Wednesday night juggled facts
and figures on the cost of a new police station and jail and came up
with the problem of raising more than $150,000 to construct a
building designed to serve the city a long period of time without
additions. Approximately $100,000 is available for the project.
The architectural firm of Ingle and Weaver presented plans for a

building which would occupy practically all of the recently
purchased property on Standley and Mason streets. It was pointed
out building costs are increasing and erecting a smaller structure at
this time would only mean increased costs in the future.
The plans were taken under consideration by the council,
following a suggestion a new set be drafted leaving out several
facilities.

NOKOMIS ADDITION PLANS APPROVED. Ukiah Union
Elementary school district trustees Tuesday night were informed
plans for a four-room addition to Nokomis, the city’s newest grade
school, have been approved by the state.
This clears the way for calling for bids on the project, estimated
to cost $80,000. It is hoped the addition can be constructed this
summer. The rooms will handle 30 students each.

THEATRE SNACK BAR BURGLARS GET $32. A break-in
early Tuesday morning at the State Drive-In Theatre snack bar

AIRPORT DRAINAGE PROJECT STARTED. Work of
installing a drainage ditch on the south end of the runway of the

Southwest Airways spokesman said passenger flights may be

All Southwest Airways passenger flights were cancelled several
weeks ago when a taxiing passenger plane struck a soft spot on the

HARDING APPOINTED ACTING POSTMASTER. John W.
Harding, a member of the postoffice staff since 1945, has been
named acting postmaster for Ukiah. He replaces Ted Hinds, who
served as acting postmaster eight months. Hinds, who resides in
Redwood Valley, was ruled to live outside the Ukiah post office

SCHOOL GETS WEST’S MONEY. MANUAL TRAINING
DEPARTMENT RECEIVES MUCH NEEDED DONATION.
Principal Flowers of the grammar school is the happiest man in
town. The manual training department of the school has been
donated $100 by Mr. West, the father of the young man drowned in
Eel river last January. After the remains of the unfortunate young
man were shipped north and all the expenses incident thereto had
been paid there remained of the money forwarded for that purpose
a sum amounting to a little over $100. When informed of the
residue, Mr. West wrote W. P. Thomas, who had charge of the
money, asking him to give the cash to some worthy organization in
Ukiah.
Mr. Thomas was at a loss at first to decide just what should
receive the money. However, he attended the lecture delivered by
Mr. Gates, of the state board of charities and corrections, in this
city a short time ago and was greatly impressed with that
gentleman’s illustrations of the value of the manual training
department of the public schools wherever tried. He was also
aware of the interest taken by Mr. Flowers in that department of
the local school and also of the value of the work he was doing. He
was not long in seeing the benefit that could be derived by the
school from this money and his decision was quickly made that the
pupils of the Ukiah grammar school should profit by Mr. West’s
generosity.

IN BRIEF
OAKLAND (AP) — City Council President Ignacio De La
Fuente admitted he violated a state ethics law when he received
more than $2,000 in free valet parking at San Francisco
International Airport.
De La Fuente, who is running for Oakland mayor, failed to
list the parking pass as a gift on his Statement of Economic
Interest for 2004 as required by state law. The value of the free
parking was nearly $1,700 above the limit a politician can
receive in personal gifts from a single source per year.
Calling the omission a “mistake,” De La Fuente told the
Contra Costa Times Friday he would amend his economic
statement and pay the airport for all the days he parked.
Airport parking records show that De La Fuente’s pass was
used to park at SFO eight times, totaling 52 days in 2004.
De La Fuente was one of dozens of elected officials, bureaucrats and civic leaders on a list of people with airport parking
passes made public in January.

SANTA ANA (AP) — A leading candidate for Orange
County treasurer was accused of mismanaging the assets of a
bankrupt business.
Chriss Street was court-appointed trustee of the Fruehauf
Trailer Corp. from 1998 to 2005. There are six federal investigations into Fruehauf’s corporate trust.
A document filed in bankruptcy court last week alleges that
Street caused economic harm to the trust through failed side
ventures and that his wife used trust money for personal trips.
The trust started with $24 million in assets but paid out just
$11 million to interest holders. Street said $47 million had been
distributed to interest holders.
The document also questioned the nearly $12 million in
overhead and expenses that Street spent and several trips to
Hawaii, Mexico and elsewhere that his wife took.
Street said the overhead was high because of high legal
expenses and that most of the trips were for company retreats.
The document was authored by investment banker Daniel W.
Harrow, a former trust employee whom Street had fired. He
was appointed last year to replace Street as trustee.
Street dismissed the allegations.
“I call this a drive-by shooting,” Street said. “I did an extraordinary job.”
Street is considered the front-runner in the June election for
county treasurer-tax collector. He was named assistant treasurer in January by incumbent John Moorlach, who is leaving the
post to run for county supervisor.

ROSEVILLE (AP) — A small plane that destroyed a house
in a Roseville subdivision last month was flying at illegally low
altitudes and high speed, according to the transponder aboard
the aircraft.
The Feb. 12 crash killed the plane’s owner, Patrick O’Brien,
49, of Orange County, and James McIsaac, 43, of Roseville,
who were in the aircraft. Christopher Musil, 19, died when the
single-engine Glassair II S-FT crashed through the roof of his
home.
The Federal Aviation Administration said the radar transponder shows that several times in the minutes before the crash the
plane flew a few hundred feet above the ground at speeds over
160 miles per hour, “buzzing” the subdivision above McIsaac’s
house about a block away from where Musil died.
The transponder readings “indicate he was very low, lower
than the law allows,” aviation expert and author John Lowery
told ABC-affiliate News 10 in Sacramento.
Witnesses had given similar accounts after the crash. The
National Transportation Safety Board earlier said it found no
mechanical problems.
McIsaac’s family has declined comment. An attorney for
Musil’s family said they plan to sue the estates of the plane’s
occupants and the manufacturer.

LOS ANGELES (AP)— Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa has
laid out a plan for taking control of the nation’s second-largest
school district.
The current appointed board of the Los Angeles Unified
School District lacks “a sense of urgency” or a “culture of
reform,” Villaraigosa said Friday.
“What we have isn’t working, pure and simple,” he said at a
news conference.
His plan, based in part on a mayoral takeover of New York
City’s schools four years ago, would give the mayor authority
to appoint the LAUSD superintendent and senior staff members. The Board of Education would have a reduced role, as yet
undefined.
The board’s longest-serving member, Julie Korenstein, criticized the mayor’s comments.
“I don’t have a clue why he thinks it would make things better,” she said. “Is the city run that well? Isn’t it running a large
deficit? I don’t get it at all.”
Villaraigosa was to visit New York on Monday and Tuesday
to study how Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg won control of the
nation’s largest school system.

Moderate Republican PAC has
forged close ties with Schwarzenegger
By MICHAEL R. BLOOD
AP Political Writer
LOS ANGELES — Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger could find a lot of reasons why the Legislature turned away his
public works plan to spend billions of
dollars on highways, schools and levees,
but Paul Folino wasn’t one of them.
The wealthy chairman of computercomponents maker Emulex Corp. — who
also is a personal friend of the governor
and one of his most generous financial
patrons — was just one of the administration supporters who called legislators
in an ultimately futile bid to secure votes
for the massive bond issue.
Folino’s participation wasn’t happenstance. His informal lobbying is just one
example of the close and beneficial relationship Schwarzenegger shares with
Folino and the rapidly expanding political action committee he helped establish,
the New Majority. Members of the centrist group have donated or raised more
than $10 million for the Republican governor’s political ventures.
“Our view of the world links up very
closely with the governor’s — you have
to consider the governor is a moderate
Republican,” Folino said. “We’ve
become close friends. I feel like my wife
and I are part of the family.”
At a time when Schwarzenegger is
struggling to shore up support within his
own party, his ties to Republican moderates are likely to become an increasingly
important financial source for his emerging re-election bid.
And the New Majority is pushing to
expand its influence. The group, which
has about 250 members and funnels
roughly $7.5 million a year into various
political campaigns, is planning to open
chapters in San Diego and the highgrowth Southern California counties of
Riverside and San Bernardino. They
could become new sources of money and
Gov. Schwarzenegger
support for the governor.
Its leaders want to expand membership
in the San Francisco Bay area and Silicon
Valley, and possibly to Arizona and other
western states. Supporters of the group
say its donations could reach $30 million
to $35 million annually within five years.
Potential 2008 presidential contenders
such as Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney
and New York Gov. George Pataki have
had contact in recent months with New
Majority members.
On Monday, Schwarzenegger and the
California Republican Party are holding a
major fundraiser in Beverly Hills, where
at least four New Majority members will
kick in $100,000 each for a spot at the
head table. They include John B. Kilroy
Jr., of Kilroy Realty, and Frank Baxter,
former chairman of investment bank
Jeffries & Co.
The organization’s Los Angeles chap-
ter also is listed as a $100,000 donor,
meaning the group collectively will give
the governor and the state party at least
$500,000 at the event.
According to state records, Baxter
alone has donated more than $175,000 in
recent years to the governor’s political
projects and more than $300,000 to the
state GOP.
Four days later, members of the
group’s Orange County chapter will
make up most of the crowd at a fundraiser for the governor in Dana Point.
“The New Majority group cares
deeply about the future of California and
includes some of the most distinguished
leaders in the country. The governor is
grateful for their ongoing support of his
bold agenda to continue moving the state
forward,” Schwarzenegger’s campaign
manager, Steve Schmidt, said in a statement Friday.
Members of the New Majority “are
checkbook Republicans — individuals
who are wealthy and raise big bucks to
support moderate candidates,” said GOP
analyst Allan Hoffenblum.
Unlike the party’s social conservatives, he said, “they are not dominated by
religious-right issues.”
Schwarzenegger’s relationship with
members of the group goes back at least
to his debut in statewide politics in 2002,
when New Majority supporters contributed heavily to his ballot proposal to
fund after-school programs, known as
Proposition 49.
The political action committee is
among the governor’s top donors since he
took office in 2003. It supports moderate,
business-friendly Republicans and has
endorsed the governor’s re-election.
Folino has given more than $1 million
in cash and services to the governor, state
records show, not counting donations

Late storms leave California flush with water
SAN FRANCISCO (AP)
— A series of late winter
storms that blanketed the
Sierra Nevada with snow has
left California flush with
water for the foreseeable
future, according to meteorologists and hydrologists.
The Sierra Nevada snowpack, which serves as a natural holding tank for California,
contains more water than even
last year, which also saw
above-average snowfall.
Donner Summit, for example, has seen 390 inches of
snow, compared to an average
of 313 inches for this time of
year, according to data compiled by Randall Osterhauber,
a research scientist for the
University of California,
Berkeley.
Donner has 120 inches of
snow on the ground, compared to 71 at this time last
year,
according
to
Osterhauber’s statistics.
“If it stopped right now, we
would have enough water in
storage for two years of
drought,” said Mike Pechner,
staff meteorologist for KCBS
Radio. “They have already
similar cold snap this late in
the season,” Pechner said.
“The snowpack in the Sierra
more than doubled in 17
days.”
Most reservoirs are so full
that they are spilling over, and
officials are releasing water to
make room for the snowmelt.
“We’ve got good reservoir
storage and good snowpack,”
said Frank Gehrke, chief of
snow surveys for the
California Department of
Water Resources. “In essence,
we’ve got two bank accounts,
and both of them are healthy.”

The situation has surprised

Pilots’ medical problems harder to detect under FAA rule change
By RYAN PEARSON
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A
federal rule change intended
to boost interest in private flying and ease restrictions for
pilots of certain small planes
appears to fly in the face of the
government’s own accident
and safety statistics.
Before the Federal Aviation
Administration’s 2004 sport
pilot rule, all pilots age 40 and
older were required to pass a
physical exam at least once
every two years. Pilots of
small “low and slow” aircraft,
such as the storied Piper Cub
or the futuristic-looking
Sigma 4 sport plane, now can
use driver’s licenses as proof
they are healthy enough to
keep flying.

About 3,000 tons of trash still will go to the landfill daily.
While the deal specifies a diversion of 600 tons, officials

BERKELEY (AP) — Police arrested seven men and seized
about 5,000 marijuana plants in what officers described as one
of the region’s biggest pot busts in recent memory.
In addition to the pot plants, more than 120 pounds of dried
pot as well as handguns and stacks of cash were seized from
seven locations in four cities, Berkeley police said Friday.
The seven men, who have ties to Oakland, Brentwood and
Castro Valley, were arrested Wednesday at a converted warehouse in Berkeley following a five-month investigation.
The suspects face charges of possession of marijuana for
sale, cultivation of marijuana and weapons possession violations, said Berkeley police spokesman Ed Galvan.
“This is the largest marijuana bust that anyone can remember in recent history,” Galvan said. “This was just huge ... and
very, very professional, with state-of-the-art equipment.”
Investigators believe the suspects had been running the operation for at least two years.

Letters from our readers In our opinion
Let’s have an
old-fashioned Fourth
To the Editor:
In response to Kathy Brigham’s letter
regarding a proposed “new tradition” for
Ukiah to celebrate July 4th, I agree that
things like a picnic (potluck), pie-eating
contest, three-legged races, and brass band
would be better than just fireworks. At no
cost to the community everything could be
voluntarily supplied by the local citizens
(perhaps vendors for hot dogs and as such).
We have forgotten our original values of
meaningful U.S. patriotism and clean, fun
times. The only thing today our children
know is loud fireworks, not the gathering
of family and friends and good feeling we
get from these things.
My direct cousin was John Adams and
I’m certain that he and others I descend
from in the 1600-1700s would agree to feel
good about our liberty (freedom) in this
land and a return to common sense.
One last note, I personally prefer the
words to “America the Beautiful” over the
“Star Spangled Banner” for our national
anthem. Look it up and read the words and
teach it in our schools. It describes our
wonderful country.

Teen drinking won’t just stop
We were not surprised to hear that alcohol
is still the number one substance being
abused by teenagers in our county.
But as more than one person has pointed
out since we ran an article Sunday about a
meeting of local residents about the problems of teen drinking - this is nothing new.
How many times have we grieved for
local teens who have died in a drunken driving accidents? How many times do we hear
of unruly parties in the woods that include
alcohol? How many times have local stores
been caught in police stings intended to
catch them selling alcohol to minors?
Nonetheless it is a topic that should
always be on our minds.
What’s the solution?
One solution is for parents to do more to
support sober activities like the sober graduation put on at the high school each year.
What about some regular Friday night
dances at the middle and high schools where
local teens can hang out without alcohol present? How about one of our entrepreneurial
logo clothing retailers coming up with a logo
hat or T-shirt to promote sobriety among
teens?
Nice ideas, perhaps, but the bottom line
remains, as one parent panelist put it at the
meeting, “Every hour spent watching a play
rehearsal, or attending a soccer game is better than down the road spending an hour in a
counseling office or a probation office. It’s
about being present for your children as
often and as unobtrusively as possible.”
That’s really the best solution.
Explaining local
election process
To the Editor:
I have been getting a lot of phone calls
about what is going on with elections in
Mendocino County. Do we have to provide
our driver’s license number to register to
vote? Will Mendocino County be voting by
all mail ballot in the June election? What
about those new voting machines?
I would like to take this opportunity to
begin answering some of those questions.
There is a lot happening in elections this
year. Beginnning on Jan. 1, 2006, all persons registering or re-registering to vote
have had to provide their driver’s license or
state ID number on their registration form.
If they did not have a driver’s license or
state ID, they have been required to provide the last four digits of their Social
Security number. When we receive a voter
registration from, if this requirement is not
met, we have been required to contact the
voter to obtain the information or verify
that they have neither of these numbers.
Also, beginning Jan. 1, 2006, the State of
California began using a statewide voter
database. All of our voter registration data
is being transmitted to the state daily and
all driver’s license/state ID numbers must
be validated through DMV before they will
be loaded into the statewide database. If
the information given by the voter does not
match with what the DMV has for that
voter, we must also contact the voter to
verify the information. Voters will not be
on the index list at the polls unless their
voter registration has been validated by the
state. Voters not on the index at the polls
will be allowed to vote a provisional ballot
which will only be counted if their registration data can be validated.
While we will not be voting by all-mail,
we will be voting by mostly mail ballots
for the June election. We have set out consolidated precincts for the June election
and have declared precincts with less than
250 voters all-mail precincts. This has
reduced the number of polling places in the
county to 37. In addition, 25 percent of our
voters are already permanent absentee voters. We anticipate that this will result in 65
percent of our voters voting by mail and 35
percent voting at polling places. We will be
mailing absentee ballots out to all voters in
mail ballot precincts beginning on May 8.
One of the reasons we have made the
change to declare all precincts with under
250 voters as mail ballot precincts is
because for this election, federal law
requires that we must provide touch screen
devices with audio components at every
polling location, to allow voters with visual
and mobility disabilities to vote without
assistance. In addition, all polling locations
must meet strict federal requirements for
accessibility for the physically handicapped. Requirements include having a
paved parking area with a van accessible
parking space marked, doors that can be
opened with less than 8.5 pounds of pressure, etc. We felt that with less polling
places we would have a better chance of
successfully deploying the touch screen
equipment and complying with all of these
federal laws.

The message I want to convey to
Mendocino County voters is this: we will
continue to use a paper voting system both
at the polls and for absentees. We will be
placing one touch screen in every polling
location to comply with federal law. The
touch screen equipment that we have purchased includes a voter verifiable paper
audit trail. That paper audit trail created on
the touch screen will be used in case of a
recount.

political prisoner
To the Editor:
We just got back from a wonderful
month-long trip to Thailand. On one of our
adventures, our guide was a Hmong man. I
call him Mr. Yee because his Thai name is
a mouthful. We got well acquainted and
later visited him and his family at the village where he is Chief and is working very
hard to improve conditions for the village.
We learned from him that his brother ran
for a seat in the Thai Parliament this past
January in order to represent the hill tribes
and refugees in his area. (There are six
major hill tribes and many refugees from
Burma and Laos in northern Thailand.) He
actually won … the first Hmong to win a
seat in Parliament. The next day, the police
arrested him.
The ruling party was not pleased at his
election, since he was a member of an
opposition party, so they dredged up an old
allegation that had long been disproved,
and threw him in jail. He has been there
since January 9. The government appears
to be in no rush to bring him to trial since,
as long as he is in jail; he isn’t be able to
take his seat in Parliament. We have
authenticated the truth of what Mr. Yee told
us through court documents, newspaper
stories, and a letter from a Catholic priest
who was a missionary in Thailand for 40
years and knows this family well. Our local
Thai friend, who looked over the documents for us, says it’s political. He is a
good man and shouldn’t be in jail.
It will take about 120,000 Baht ($3,000
US), including the attorney and processing
fees just to get him released (even before
the cost of a trial). This is a mighty sum of
money for an ordinary Thai person, a more
than a year’s income, and much more than
our Mr. Yee, who lives in a house with no
indoor plumbing, has. Mr. Yee sold his
only asset, some land he purchased to grow
food for his family, to an American friend
who owns land nearby, so he has part of
the money to gain his brother’s release.
But, he really has no way to get the rest
(about $2,000 US) in a reasonably timely
fashion. Without outside help, his brother
will continue to languish in jail for a long,
uncertain, and frightening time.
We opened a bank account in Mr. Yee’s
name with $350 of our money at
Washington Mutual in Ukiah. We now have
about $1,000 pledged from friends, but we
need community support – your help. Will
you join us in helping to return this innocent man to his wife and two small chilSee LETTERS, Page A-11

Watch out for new
secrecy standards
By PETER SCHEER
A note from K.C.: Last week was “Sunshine” week
in California, time taken out to reflect on the need for
open government. As regular readers of this column
know, I am a member of the board of directors of the
California First Amendment Coalition. Our executive
director, Peter Scheer wrote a wonderful op-ed piece
on secrecy that I’d like to share with you today. PS I
will be out of the office all of this coming week and
won’t be at Schat’s on Thursday. I’ll be back to work
March 29.
Government and the press are natural antagonists.
Government wants to keep secrets, while the press
wants to expose them.
As long as neither side gains an upper hand, this
tension is, on the whole, a good thing - balancing the
public’s “right to know” with the government’s legitimate security concerns. But a series of leak investigations and prosecutions now threatens to redraw this
balance in a way that undermines the independence of
the press.
In Washington, the FBI has launched investigations
into leaks of classified information that led to groundbreaking news stories about secret CIA prisons in eastern Europe (appearing initially in the Washington Post)
and the NSA’s warrantless electronic eavesdropping
program (in the New York Times). CIA Director Porter
Goss has made clear where this probe is headed.
Speaking before a Senate Committee on February 2, he
said: “It is my aim, and it is my hope, that we will witness a grand jury investigation with reporters present
being asked to reveal who is leaking this information.”
Meanwhile, the Bush administration, in a filing in a
closely watched spy trial underway in Washington, has
staked out a legal position that would radically expand
federal authority over the press. Interpreting the
Espionage Act of 1917 in a case involving pro-Israel
lobbyists who obtained classified information from a
Pentagon source, Justice Department lawyers asserted
that the law permits prosecution not only of private citizens, but also of reporters who receive classified
information.
Although the Espionage Act has long been used to
prosecute government employees who divulge sensitive classified information - typically, of course, to a
foreign government - it has never been used to prosecute reporters who, in obtaining classified information
from government sources, are simply doing what
reporters in Washington do. Such an expansion of
criminal liability would be truly disturbing, creating a
de facto “Official Secrets Act” under which even truthful reporting could be prosecuted as a felony.
Closer to home, the FBI has launched an investigation into the source of sealed court documents used by
the Sacramento Bee in articles about suspected terrorist activity among a group of Muslims in Lodi,
California. The Bee recently reported that FBI agents
and a prosecutor from the US Attorney’s office in Los
Angeles had contacted two of its reporters and questioned a third as part of an effort to determine who
leaked the documents to the newspaper. No word yet
on whether the Bee’s reporters will be called before a
grand jury.
And the San Francisco office of the Securities and
Exchange Commission last week issued subpoenas to
reporters for MarketWatch.com and Dow Jones
Newswires, demanding copies of the reporters’ email
messages, among other documents. The subpoenas followed allegations by Overstock.com, an online retailer, that “short-sellers” of Overstock.com stock had
used the media to spread negative information about
the company, thereby driving down its stock price and
generating profits for the short-sellers.
The confluence of these events is not merely coincidental. This is the fallout from the Plame investigation,
in which a dogged special prosecutor succeeded in
forcing reporters and news organizations to identify
the confidential sources - I. Lewis (Scooter) Libby and
Karl Rove, as we now know - who gave them information intended to discredit a critic of the Iraq War.
Prosecutors and federal investigators everywhere took
notice. They saw that a crucial line had been crossed.
Suddenly, the government was freed of traditional constraints - part legal, part political and part cultural against the use of judicial coercion to force reporters to
out their sources.
If there is a lesson here for the press, it is that news
organizations must never again falter in their protection of reporters’ confidential sources, no matter how
unsavory they are or their motives for leaking. Say
what you will about former New York Times reporter
Judith Miller, who went to jail to protect her sources she was right to contest the validity of the special prosecutor’s signed “waivers,” in which sources ostensibly

Radical thinking
Sunday view
Kate Nachtwey, a wonderfully enlightened woman who is a local practitioner of
Jin Shin Jyutsu, the ancient system for
balancing the body’s energy flow, started
a chain reaction of events recently by
lending me a book called “Radical
Forgiveness” written by a man named
Colin Tipping. It is one of those rare
books that have the power to transform
the way we think and behave.
The book’s premise is this: Those people who we encounter throughout our
lives that we perceive has having harmed
us - especially those who’ve harmed us
the most - give us an opportunity to learn
and to grow. The author uses an example
of a woman who marries two husbands
who cheat on her. She realizes her cycle
of finding men who will not love her
stemmed from having a father who could
not show his daughter love. By forgiving
her present husband she is able to forgive
her first husband and her father as well.
As a result she finds herself freed from he
bondage of the past.
If we can view people who have
harmed us in this way as teaching us an
important lesson we need to learn in
order to progress on our life’s journey,
then we can forgive them. Once we forgive them we move past the blaming and
the hurt we feel. And then - and this may
be the best part - we can stop “renting
them space in our heads.” We can forget
about them rather than constantly reliving an event in the past.
To forgive people that have done us
harm - especially if it was intentional - is
indeed radical. This level of forgiveness
holds far greater power than forgiving
mere “everyday” transgressions. It fol-
BY TONY ANTHONY
lows that the greater the harm done the
greater is the forgiveness that is necessary. It also follows, the greater is the
healing.
This kind of forgiveness - total and
unconditional - brings to mind Christ’s
forgiveness of the Roman soldiers who
nailed Christ to the cross. “Forgive them
for they know not what they do.” In the
soldiers’ case they were most likely just
obeying orders.
Practicing such radical thinking has an
immediate and powerful result. If you
doubt this, just give it a try!
Kate invited me to attend an introductory meeting of a group practicing a healing technique called Process Coaching
which follows along the same line of
thinking. I was skeptical at first. After all,
I’m an ex-soldier, so my transition into
the New Age is fraught with doubt and
caution at every turn. When I showed up
at the Wellness Center one night I was the
only “newbie” in the room of more than a
dozen people who all chatted comfortably amongst themselves. I felt as if I had
landed on the wrong planet, and if it hadn’t been for Kate’s reassuring presence in
the room I would have bolted for my
pick-up truck.
The meeting was being facilitated by
four local practitioners; Betty Idarius,
Beverly Lawrence, Margit Drysdale and

front page features a simulator gun at the
ready, and the live person holding it is
about to make “the right split second
decision” based on a simulator event,
where the television screen displays an
“armed” actor in a threatening posture.
The right split second decision? The
police training simulator attempts to precondition a user’s reaction mindset. The
many potential variables in a perceived
dangerous street situation are compressed
into a software program. But how many
subtleties can be built into the program?
Experienced experts may have designed
it, but it is still a virtual program. A simulator doesn’t purport to replace real life
experience, but could give the illusion
that it does. That renders it just a little
hazardous, unless enhanced by live,
experienced experts.
I wonder if there is any commercial
investment in simulations, dramatizations, attempting to expand on the concept “peace officer”? In other words, proportionally how much of police training
is devoted to non-violent communication
skills and psychological understanding,
other than the occasional workshop?
Instead, during these past few decades
we’ve tended to prefer the title “law
enforcement officer,” with its emphasis
on the word with “force” in it.
How much do we know about what
motivates a young person to seek a career
in “law enforcement”? Certainly one
very manageable variable in the street
encounter should be the psyche of the
peace/law enforcement officer her/himself. For our applicant, is it the adventure, in addition to the job availability
and pay? Does personal family history
and a more or less unconscious agenda of
intangible compensations play a role?
Who evaluates this balance in an applicant? Who checked out the evaluator, and

how long ago?
To be sure, serving as a police officer
means being in the front line of a healing
process right where the worst pathologies
are spilling out their symptoms into the
public arena, when drunkenness, family
violence, criminality are in urgent need
of immediate remedy before collateral
damage runs out of control. Naturally it
may seem hard to focus on that word
“peace” under the circumstances.
Still, there are reports of non-urgent
encounters involving traffic stops of
younger people here in Ukiah where a
positive attitude seems not always to be
practiced at the same level as for everyone else. Instead, a confrontational scenario plays out which could be characterized as “intimidation of naive or inexperienced younger people, not knowledgeable of their own rights.”
Like, “You better get your car fixed
today - oh, you don’t have the money?
Why not?” In this incident, described to
me by a third party, the young adult was
scared enough to try to prove his financial situation, not understanding that the
conversation should have stopped before
it got started. We’re talking a mechanical
violation citation!
The larger context poses a related
problem. In our hyper “terrorized” homeland security environment the precepts of
military life and police life are converging, and becoming too close for comfort.
In too many parts of the world, “police”
and “military” have no clear boundaries,
and there is a cross over in function and
ON THE STREETS
Adam Bubublin who began the meeting
with a 10-minute meditation, which settled the air and everyone breathing it.
Then came an invitation for people to
share what they were feeling at the
moment. This part of the process, I have
to admit, annoyed me to no end. What
went on for nearly an hour was a string of
people complaining non-stop about what
seemed to me to be “stupid” problems nothing earth shattering or life threatening. During a short intermission I was
happy to step outside to breathe some
fresh air. But as soon as the group was
seated again I was called on. Betty
Idarius smiled at me. “What are you feeling?” I took a long time to decide how
honestly I was going to answer her question. Probably because the group was so
accepting, I decided to go for it. I heard
myself blurt out, “if you want to know
the truth, I feel like I’ve landed on another planet and you’re all aliens. And, as if
that isn’t enough, I’m angry! I’m
annoyed at having to listen to people
complain about insignificant things. After
awhile all your talk sounds like babble!”
Betty was still smiling when she
looked me in the eye again. “Thank you
for being so honest.” Then she asked,
“now where were you feeling that
anger?” I had to think - I’m not in the
habit of localizing my anger. “Well, all
over, I guess - it’s hard to pin down exactly.” “That’s OK ... that’s fine ... just continue to feel it,” she said. Again, I wasn’t
being judged for not knowing something;

primary activity. Big City Cops (read
LAPD, NYPD, etc.) and Special Services
Army or Marine units, after a certain
amount of training and field experience,
have much the same outlook, wedded to
“bad ass” actions as primary tool.
It is clear that in our police training,
we will have a growing need to emphasize civil liberties issues. Even as investment money flows into exotic new training toys, or “crowd control” technology,
there is the parallel danger that the “civil”
part of civil authority increasingly may
be folded into the “authority” part.
Meanwhile, for our hypothetical
trainee, it should be made very clear that
even if police work, at root, is about
keeping the peace, and about safety and
security, it is also about protecting rights.
You might say we’re making too much
of this motivation and behavior thing. It’s
a job, right? And it’s a lot more interesting than lots of other commercial or
bureaucratic jobs. Maybe even as rewarding as teaching kids or working in the
emergency ward.
Well, civic pride in our civil liberties
institutions would go a long way towards
protecting them, too.
The fearful wimps in Congress these
days seem to find nothing wrong with
enabling Pentagon intrusion into the lives
of civilians. Surveillance technology
today, mass roundup centers tomorrow.
Which leads to other unanswered
questions and a closing thought in the
form of a warning that we should watch
these simulator design people, they sell
military video games too, and design virtual recruitment programs for our friends
in Rumsfeld’s office building. They don’t
seem to be “invested” in the grunt work
of making peace, or worrying about fair
play. There’s no money there.

Imitation and flattery
Judicial follies
JThe very first column that I wrote on odd
or unusual court opinions (more years ago than
I like to think about) dealt with a young man
named Gavin McDonald who initiated a lawsuit because he lost a spelling bee. The first
court to consider the case threw out his lawsuit,
and Gavin appealed. The appeals court had
some tart - and entertaining - words of its own
for Gavin, including a short discourse on the
disturbing trend of people running to court
over the most trivial matters. The court concluded its opinion by stating, "As for the judgment of the trial court, we'll spell it out. A-F-IR-M-E-D."
Unfortunately, the court misspelled
"affirmed."
An amusing reminder of that judicial misstep appeared in, of all places, a recent entry on
thesmokinggun.com. (For the uninitiated, The
Smoking Gun is an investigative journalism
website, most notable for having recently dug
up the truth about James Frey's book "A
Million Little Pieces," which had been touted
on Oprah Winfrey's book club. Using just publicly-available sources, the folks at The
Smoking Gun discovered that Frey's claims of
a rampant criminal and drug-addicted past
were mostly fiction and that, despite his
claims, Frey's book was far from a memoir.)

Still, it's not all nose-to-the-grindstone stuff
at The Smoking Gun - a lot of the things they
publish fall more into the odd-but-true category. The item that echoed of Gavin's case was an
order issued last month by an appeals court in
Mississippi stating in part, "it has come to the
attention of the undersigned [judge] that several attorneys are signing pleadings and motions
with signatures which cannot be determined . .

Mississippi, and that therefore the clerks of the
court in the four counties overseen by this
appeals court were ordered "to refuse to accept
for filing all pleadings and motions presented
when the signatures thereon are not legible."
Well, as one might guess, it's a good thing
that that rule doesn't apply to Mississippi's
judges - because the signature on this order
looks as though the judge wrote it with his left

foot. Or maybe, after the fashion of Mr. Ed the

The folks at The Smoking Gun speculated,
based purely on the judge's handwriting, that
his name was either "Micg Gl" or maybe
"Smccg Ge."
And just to show that great minds think
alike, the Smoking Gun folks then posted links
to a number of other, as they put it, "quirky
court documents." I can proudly say that a couple of them have already provided past grist for
this column - and not from using The Smoking
Gun as a source, either.
One of their more recent entries was an
order from a Texas bankruptcy case also issued
just last month captioned, "Order Denying
Motion for Incomprehensibility." One should
hasten to add that the person hadn't filed a
motion asking for "incomprehensibility"; the
judge was stating that the motion was being
denied because he hadn't the faintest idea what
the moving party was asking for.
The order, which was only about a page,
began by stating, "Before the court is a motion
entitled "Defendant's Motion to Discharge
Response to Plaintiff's Response to
Defendant's Response Opposing Objection to
Discharge." A truly masterful "response" to all
of that might have been an order stating "Say
what? Denied." But everyone does things a little differently, and this judge instead said, "The
court cannot determine the substance, if any, of
the Defendant's legal argument, nor can the
court even ascertain the relief the Defendant is
requesting. The Defendant's motion is accordingly denied for being incomprehensible."
The worthwhile part of the order, though, is
a footnote in which the judge added, "Or, in the
words of the competition judge to Adam
Sandler's title character in the movie "Billy
Madison," after Billy Madison had responded
to a question with an answer that sounded
superficially reasonable but lacked any substance, 'Mr. Madison, what you've just said is
one of the most insanely idiotic things I've ever
heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent
response was there anything that could even be
considered a rational thought. Everyone in this
room is now dumber for having listened to it. I
award you no points, and may God have mercy
on your soul.'"
Does anyone else get the impression that
this judge has had that little comment tacked
above his desk for years, just waiting for the
right case to come along so he could use it?

The Daily Journal
The Mendocino College baseball
team knocked off first place Los

improve to 2-4 in Bay Valley
Conference Play and 8-12 overall.
Los Medanos entered the contest
with a 5-0 mark in BVC play.
“It was like all of our league games

The Eagles got 8 1/3 innings from
winning pitcher Justin Bautista, who
struck out three, gave up eight hits,
and three unearned runs. Ben Kester
picked up the save for Mendocino.
Chris Bodishbaugh was the losing
pitcher for Los Medanos.
Mendocino got a trio of big hitting
performances from Justin Malek, who
went 3-for-4 with three RBIs, Travis
Mather with three RBIs, and Johnny
Gonzales, who went 2-for-5 and
scored the go-ahead run.
Up 3-0 in the sixth inning,
Mendocino let Los Medanos get back

the bottom of the eighth, after three
singles to lead off the inning, pinch
hitter Dwight Raudio pulled off a fake
bunt with the Los Medanos infield
creeping in, and turned it into a double
to right field that scored Gonzales for

Mather followed Raudio’s big play
with a two-run single.

Wichita State’s Matt Braeuer jumps into the arms of teammate Ryan Martin after the Shockers 80-73 upset
of No. 2 seed Tennessee Saturday in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
Wichita State in first Sweet 16 since 1981
By AARON BEARD
The Associated Press
GREENSBORO, N.C. — Wichita State stuck it to the critics of the Missouri Valley Conference with an easy win to
open the NCAA tournament.
Now the Shockers are savoring an even bigger victory.
Karon Bradley hit a go-ahead stepback jumper with about
2 minutes left while P.J. Couisnard followed with a big 3pointer to help Wichita State beat Tennessee 80-73 Saturday
in the second round of the Washington Regional.
The victory over the second-seeded Volunteers (22-8)
marks Wichita State’s first trip to the round of 16 since reaching a regional final 25 years ago.
Couisnard finished with 20 points on 6-for-7 shooting to
lead the seventh-seeded Shockers (26-8), who used a late 70 spurt to break a 65-all tie.
Wichita State next faces the winner of Sunday’s George
Mason-North Carolina game.
Wichita State opened the tournament with an 86-66 win
over Seton Hall, silencing those who wondered why the
MVC got four tournament bids.
But beating the Southeastern Conference East division
champions means so much more.
Kyle Wilson added 17 points to help make up for an off
day by first-round leaders Paul Miller and Sean Ogirri.
Miller, the MVC’s player of the year, managed 10 points on
1-for-9 shooting. Ogirri scored 12 points after finishing with
23 in the first round.
But the Shockers found a way to survive Tennessee’s uptempo attack and pressure defense with a strong late-game
effort.
Once Ryan Martin threw down a slam with 5.2 seconds
left to seal it, the celebration began in the rowdy section of
fans seated across from the Shockers bench.

Cowboys sign villified Owens
By JAIME ARON
IRVING, Texas — Terrell Owens has
gone from stomping on the Dallas
Cowboys’ star logo to wearing it on his
helmet.
The reviled receiver joined the
Cowboys on Saturday, signing a threeyear, $25 million contract to play for
Jerry Jones and Bill Parcells in what
promises to be an interesting combination of strong personalities. The deal
includes a $5 million signing bonus, with
salaries of $5 million this year, $8 million
in 2007 and $7 million in 2008.
“I’m a star among stars now,” a smiling Owens said.
There’s no questioning his talent —
Owens has consistently put up numbers
the Cowboys have lacked since Michael
Irvin was in the prime of his career in the
mid-1990s.
It’s his attitude that prompted the San
Francisco 49ers and Philadelphia Eagles
to get rid of Owens. His relationship with
the Eagles soured only months after he
led them to the Super Bowl, finally ending with his release Tuesday.
Owens referred to his past problems as
“life-learning experiences.”
“I’m going to put those things behind
me,” Owens said. “They can only make a
man stronger, wiser. For me, that’s what
it’s done. I’ll be a better teammate, a better person, a better man in life. I’m looking forward to this opportunity. I couldn’t
be more excited to be here.”
Following up a question to Jones about
Owens’ past, the receiver interjected:
“Jerry, I know what’s expected of me. I
won’t let you down.”
Jones didn’t immediately reveal any
contract details, but it was likely to
include behavior-related provisions.
Owens’ blowup with Philadelphia last
season even led to new rules regarding
punishment being written into the NFL’s
latest collective bargaining agreement.
“We can both disappoint each other in
this agreement,” Jones said. “But this is
no free lunch to the Dallas Cowboys. We
made a commitment to him. That means
something.”
Agent Drew Rosenhaus said seven
teams pursued Owens, “but this was the
only team for Terrell.”
Jones repeatedly mentioned that
Parcells was in favor of adding Owens.
The coach and his new star receiver
already have spoken by telephone,
although Parcells didn’t attend the news
conference. That’s typical, though,
because he hasn’t attended any for freeagent signings since joining the club
three-plus years ago.
“This was not me selling Bill, this was
not Bill selling me,” Jones said. “This
was us taking advantage of getting an
outstanding player. ... Bill has coached a
lot of players that, quote-unquote, have
the perception they might not fit in.”
Jones, who built a billion-dollar fortune by taking big risks, is willing to take
this one because the Cowboys have gone
nine years without winning a playoff
game.
Part of the gamble is that fans will
warm up to Owens, who launched his
flamboyant persona in September 2000
when as a member of the 49ers he celebrated each of two touchdown catches at
Texas Stadium by running to the team’s
star logo at midfield. Safety George
Teague secured a spot in team lore by
decking Owens after the second one.
On a Monday night game in 2004 best
remembered for his pregame skit with a
“Desperate Housewives” actress, Owens
celebrated another score by tapping on a
logo in the end zone.
Owens said he and Jones already have
discussed his future TD celebrations.
With an arm on Jones’ back, he smiled
wide and said, “I will embrace the star.”
Until his behavior limited him to nine
games last season, Owens had at least 75
receptions and 1,100 yards receiving in
five straight seasons. The last time a
Cowboys receiver hit both figures in one
season was Irvin in 1997.
But Owens also has aliented teammates, coaches and the front office with
the things he says and does.
In Dallas, Owens joins a team coming
off a 9-7 season that included a 2-4 finish,
keeping them from making the playoffs
for a second straight year. The Cowboys
seem to need more than a star receiver to
get over the hump, but do need a main
threat after releasing Keyshawn Johnson
on Tuesday.
The team lacks veteran leaders, with
captains Dan Campbell and Dat Nguyen
already gone, as is La’Roi Glover, another calming influence. Dallas also is in a
tough division that includes T.O.-less
Philadelphia.
WBC BOXING
Rahman retains title with draw
For most of the
bout, Rahman
pressed the action
By BARRY WILNER
AP Sports Writer
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. —
Hasim Rahman remained the
WBC heavyweight champion
Saturday night without beating
James Toney.
Rahman, handed the crown
when Vitali Klitschko retired
last year, fought Toney to a
draw, a verdict booed by many
fans in the crowd. So the 33year-old Rahman has never
actually won the belt in the
ring.
It was one of the closest
fights imaginable, with both
boxers missing more than they
connected, and with few flurries. Toney did his best work
with right leads, including two
massive ones late in the bout.
But he also missed a handful of
those punches, looking foolish
as he swiped the air.
Rahman carried the action in
the final round after Toney
landed two early punches. By
the end of the 12th, Rahman
was holding his hands in the air,
UKIAH
1250 Airport Park Blvd.
(707) 472-0300
thinking he’d won.
The judges saw otherwise —
sort of.
Nobuaki Uratani and Tom
Kaczmarek each had it 114114, while John Stewart saw a
Rahman rout, 117-111. The
Associated Press scored it 114113 for Rahman.
For most of the bout,
Rahman pressed the action. But
Toney wasn’t uncomfortable
against the ropes, either. And he
did cut Rahman over the left
eye in the eighth.
Rahman took the WBC and
IBF titles from Lennox Lewis
with a stunning fifth-round
knockout five years ago. But
Lewis got serious about training and knocked out Rahman in
the rematch.
Since that defeat, Rahman
toiled on the fringes of the division, but his perseverance paid
off last year when Klitschko
retired. The WBC gave its belt
to Rahman, and Saturday was
his first defense.
Toney owned a title as
recently as last April when he
outpointed John Ruiz for the
WBA crown. But he held it for
less than two weeks after testing positive for steroids.

With so many advertising
mediums dividing the attention of
potential customers, newspapers
remain the most effective source
for reaching consumers. Why?
Simply put, newspapers reach
more people, more often. Highly
portable and highly visible,
newspaper ads go with people and
stay with them.
That means your business is more
likely to be on their minds when
they’re in the market for related
products or services. When it

this process - I was feeling lighter. Little
did I know, I had secretly been
“processed.” By listening to others complain without being judged I had began to
understand what “Process Coaching” was
about. Nobody had been called on the
carpet for anything they said. The facilitators simply encouraged whoever was
complaining to “stay with whatever they
were feeling.”
I received encouragement from the
people around me as well. The woman

me, “wow - thank you for saying what

To the Editor:
I want to tell you a little tale
a recovering Vietnam Vet I’ve been in my
share - is acceptance. The process used in
Twelve Step programs is simple:
Somebody shares whatever they want but
nobody is allowed to judge or even comment. With no cross talk allowed and
with everybody speaking in “I” terms,
there is no possibility of blaming, no
belittling, no putting anybody down.
I have come to believe that we humans
are the same in most ways. Beneath our
surface differences we all have the same
desire - to be happy. We all suffer when
we don’t get what we want and suffer
even when we do get what we want
because what we get turns out to be never
enough! Suffering is one thing that is universal among humans. Other human
emotions are common to us all as well.
By recognizing the common humanity
in each other we automatically treat others the way we want to be treated. It isn’t
called the Golden Rule for nothing! But if
we can learn to forgive and to accept the
lesson that is offered when we’re not
treated well, we end up feeling a whole
lot lighter, a whole lot freer, and a whole
lot happier.

Dougherty of Lakeport. Mike was diagnosed with inoperable prostate cancer
last summer and given a few months to
live. Yet he is one of those rare people
who has learned to get the most out of
every moment of every day. Whenever
we meet he manages to say at least once,
“I always remind myself to do whatever I
do with love in my heart.”
If we could all be like Mike and
always navigate through our day with
love in our hearts there would be no need
for forgiveness at all. There’d be nothing
to forgive. But in the meantime, I suggest
we all get off our “pity pots” and stop
feeling sorry for ourselves and begin to
think radically - about forgiveness.
Like a caboose on the end of a train the “forgetting” part follows along naturally. After freeing the mind of the old
baggage it carries with it, we receive a
great benefit: By forgiving we also are
allowed to forget!
“Forgive and forget!” Some old sayings are timeless and when they haven’t
been heard in awhile they might even be
considered radical.

didn’t have time to process it
at that time because they had
to leave at 5 p.m. Mind you it
was 4:45 p.m They refused to
budge and he and his intended
left empty handed.
The cost to them: one and a
half hours of wages times two;
two hours of their time to go
to Ukiah and back and wasting the time in between. Not
to mention the fuel to Ukiah
and back.
The next day, March 9 they
went back down in his delivery truck as he was working
and making a delivery for
Sparetime. He parked the
truck and they went in. The
license was in their hands in
less than 10 minutes.
So if it took less than 10
minutes today, why couldn’t
they have managed it the day
before? To add insult to injury,
someone from the county
called Sparetime to complain
about where he parked his
truck. He was parked legally
and not blocking anyone or
anything.
I realize this may seem
petty and there are more
important things to complain
about. But come on County
staff, who are you working
for? What makes your time
more valuable than ours? You
almost lost the $84 fee for the
license since they were so
mad they were ready to go to
another county. But they
relented.
I hope in the future the staff
at the Clerk’s office will be
more cordial and be ready to
help their citizens during all
business hours, and not stop
working 15 minutes early in
case you can’t close at 5 p.m.
I run my office like that. You

released reporters from their promises of confidentiality.
Regrettably, other reporters took those waivers at face value
and gave testimony about their confidential sources.
The next major test of the media’s independence may come
in the investigation into leaks about NSA’s warrantless wiretapping. Because classified information about this program is
compartmented, the government employees who knew about it,
and could have leaked it to the New York Times, are both few
in number and readily identifiable. Those persons may be
required to sign waivers for their communications with
reporters (if they haven’t already done so).
When the subpoenas arrive at the New York Times, will the
reporters and the paper refuse to identify their confidential
sources? Will the rest of the media support that stance, resisting
the temptation to undercut the Times and to try to disclose its
sources?
Let’s hope so. Only the First Amendment depends on it.

Libby defense focuses on infighting
By PETE YOST
Associated Press
WASHINGTON
—
Lawyers for Vice President
Dick Cheney’s former top
aide are signaling they may
delve deeply at his criminal
trial into infighting among the
White House, the CIA and the
State Department over preIraq war intelligence failures.
In a prelude to a possible
defense, the lawyers for I.
Lewis “Scooter” Libby also
are suggesting that the State
Department — not Libby —
may be to blame for leaking
the identity of covert CIA officer Valerie Plame to the
media.
Court papers filed late
Friday raise the possibility a
trial could become politically
embarrassing for the Bush
administration by focusing on
the debate about whether the
White House manipulated
intelligence to justify the
U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in
March 2003.
The defense team stated
that in June and July 2003,
Plame’s CIA status was at
most a peripheral issue to “the
finger-pointing that went on
within the executive branch
about who was to blame” for
the failure to find weapons of
mass destruction in Iraq.
“If the jury learns this
background
information”
about finger-pointing “and
also understands Mr. Libby’s
additional focus on urgent
national security matters, the
jury will more easily appreciate how Mr. Libby may have
forgotten or misremembered
... snippets of conversation”
about Plame’s CIA status, the
lawyers said.
Cheney’s former chief of
staff was indicted Oct. 28 on
five counts of perjury,
obstruction and lying to the
FBI about how he learned of
Plame’s CIA employment and
what he told reporters about
her.
Libby’s lawyers are asking
U.S. District Judge Reggie
Walton for access to government documents about a 2002
trip that Plame’s husband, former Ambassador Joseph
Wilson, made to the African
nation of Niger at the CIA’s
behest and about “his wife’s
involvement” with that mission.
The documents relate to
what prospective witnesses —
including
then-Deputy
Secretary of State Richard
Armitage and deputy White
House chief of staff Karl Rove
— probably would say at
Libby’s trial.
Noting press reports last
week, the court papers say
there has been speculation that
Armitage
told
The
Washington
Post’s
Bob
Woodward that Wilson’s wife
worked at the CIA, and speculation that Woodward’s source
and the primary source for
conservative
columnist
Robert Novak are the same
person.
Novak disclosed Plame’s
identity on July 14, 2003,
eight days after Wilson contended in a New York Times
op-ed column that the administration twisted prewar intelligence to exaggerate the Iraqi
threat from a nuclear weapons
program.
“If the facts ultimately
show that Mr. Armitage or
someone else from the State
Department was also Mr.
Novak’s primary source, then
the State Department and certainly not Mr. Libby bears
responsibility for the ’leak’
that led to the public disclo-

sure” of Plame’s CIA identity,
Libby’s lawyers said.
The court filing also
focused on Marc Grossman, a
former undersecretary of state
for political affairs who
allegedly told Libby a month
before Plame’s identity was
disclosed that Wilson’s wife
worked at the CIA.
“If Mr. Armitage or another
State Department official was
in fact the primary source for
Mr. Novak’s article, Mr.
Grossman’s testimony may be
colored by either his personal
relationship
with
Mr.
Armitage or his concern for
the institutional concerns of
the
state
Department,”
Libby’s lawyers wrote.
Rove — a source for
Novak and Time magazine
reporter Matt Cooper — is
under investigation by Special
Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald in
the probe of the leak of
Plame’s CIA identity.
Libby’s lawyers say that
“either the government or the
defense may call Mr. Rove as
a witness at trial” and note
that “the grand jury’s investigation may be continuing with
respect to Mr. Rove or other

The Daily Journal prints political letters in a separate
section of the newspaper. Like all letters, including email
letters, they must also have a legible signature, home

space permits and while we normally have space for most
political letters we do not guarantee publication of all letters. Letters which are similar in nature and language and
appear to be part of letter-writing or attack campaigns
will receive lower priority. Readers should note that
printing these letters does not indicate Daily Journal support for these candidates nor proof of the letter writer’s

Wagenet responds
To the Editor:
My opponent for supervisor, an office carrying the
responsibility of public trust,
criticized the Board of
Supervisors’ priorities in its
federal lobbying package,
terming the choices “irresponsible.” The entire board had
unanimously approved the
request list. The public
deserves the truth.
First, the hiring of a federal
lobbyist is common business
practice. The lobbyist in question represents several counties and cities in our region.
The $60,000 we spend annually brings in millions of dollars to our county. This is
money well invested. It is surprising Mr. Pinches perceives
this income as “irresponsible.”
In regard to the second
priority request for a water
resources management plan;
water is a key issue in our
county and in the state. The
Mendocino County Water
Agency has legislative author-
ity over water in the county.
The Russian River in particular faces numerous supply
challenges and uncertainty.
Recognizing this, the supervisors, acting as the Mendocino
Water Agency, are requesting
a study to develop the essential information on supply,
groundwater
extraction,
recharge mechanisms, conservation and re-use of wastewater for agriculture and
domestic use. The traditional
order of events is: study, plan,
fund, then build. Without the
baseline study, we cannot justify conservation measures or
improvements for the region.
It would be “irresponsible”
not to plan for our future
water needs. Apparently, Mr.
Pinches doesn’t agree.
Third, the Point Arena Air
Force Base cannot be connected to a decision about the
Brooktrails Second Access
road by logic or fantasy. For
six years, the Air Force has
been trying to transfer this
contaminated facility to the
county. The federal funding
request is for cleanup dollars
to create a non-hazardous
environment for public use.
This would be money coming
into the county from a federal
level could only be spent on
the PAAFB. It would be irresponsible to reject an offer of
valuable scenic property on
the Mendocino coastline,
which would create local jobs
both during and after the
cleanup. Perhaps Mr. Pinches
would have voted to deny our
county this win-win opportunity.
The Brooktrails Second
Access remains a top priority
for the citizens of Brooktrails
and Willits, including myself.
The County Department of
Transportation is authorized
and ready to start the preliminary studies for this important
project. As soon as the winter
storm damage is repaired,
work will begin. Let’s be
clear: Brooktrails’ Second
Access is already on the work
schedule. Why is it not on the
list? Once again, the proper
sequence is to study, plan,
fund, and finally, build.
Finally, public safety is
always the board’’ top priority. Our primary request was
for funds to replace the tattered emergency microwave
system. We all depend on this
ancient broadcast system for
Bush warns more bloodshed ahead
By DEB RIECHMANN
Associated Press
WASHINGTON
—
President Bush on Saturday
braced Americans for more
bloodshed in Iraq but said
recent civil strife has motivated warring political factions to
move quickly to set up a representative government.
“Our ambassador to Iraq,
Zal Khalilzad, reports that the
violence has created a new
sense of urgency among these
leaders to form a national
unity government as quickly
as possible,” Bush said in his
weekly radio address.
“I urge them to continue
their work to put aside their
differences, to reach out
across political, religious and
sectarian lines, and to form a
government that can confront
the terrorist threat and earn the
trust and confidence of all
Iraqis.”
Bush’s broadcast came in
advance of a speech he plans
to deliver in Cleveland on
Monday, the second in a series
of talks marking Sunday’s
three-year anniversary of the
U.S.-led invasion of Iraq. The
president said victory in Iraq
will come when terrorists and
loyalists of former Iraqi leader
Saddam Hussein no longer
threaten Iraq’s democracy,
when Iraqi security forces can
ensure safety for citizens and
terrorists can’t call Iraq home.

administration, led officials
within the White House, the
State Department and the CIA
to blame each other, publicly
and in private, for faulty prewar intelligence about Iraq’s
WMD capabilities,” the court
papers state.
“The government’s version
of events blows out of proportion the minor role Ms.
Wilson actually played and in
doing so creates an impression that is highly prejudicial
to Mr. Libby,” they say.
Wilson’s

Bush’s assertion in his State

Saddam Hussein had recently

Based on his 2002 trip,
Wilson said he had found it

Niger had agreed to sell uranium yellowcake to Iraq, as

The defense says the documents it seeks will help
demonstrate that the White
House did not launch a concerted effort to punish Wilson
by leaking his wife’s identity,
as administration critics have
alleged.
Libby also is asking for
notes from a September 2003
meeting in the White House
Situation Room where Colin
Powell, who was secretary of
state, is reported to have said
that everyone knows Wilson’s
wife worked at the CIA and
that it was Wilson’s wife who

after Hurricane Katrina.
Eric Ruiz, 46, of San
Francisco, said he was worried that the money used to
pay for the Iraq war was
reducing domestic spending
and aid for Katrina victims.
“The cost of I don’t know
how many hundreds of billions ... is all coming out of
domestic needs and out other
security needs,” Ruiz said.
Persis Karim, 33, who
brought her three-year-old son
to the demonstration, said she
was concerned that the United
States might launch a preemptive strike on Iran.
“They may not do it in
quite the same way as Iraq,”
said Karim, a professor at San
Jose State University. “But the
agenda of the Bush administration is to secure the region,
and obviously Iran is a problem to them.”
In Los Angeles, several
thousand people lined up on
Hollywood Boulevard for an
anti-war march. Protesters
wearing black T-shirts with
the slogan “2,300 dead —
How many more?” carried
dozens of flag-draped mock
coffins.
Candy Arnold, 49, of Santa
Monica, wore bloody makeup
and orange clothing with the
words,
“Property
of
Guantanamo.” She held a sign
saying, “A democracy does
not torture prisoners of war.”
Paul Haggis, who directed
“Crash,” which won the
Academy Award for Best
Picture earlier this month,
attended the Hollywood
Boulevard rally.
“We’re mired in there and
there’s no way out that I can
see,” Haggis said. “We’ve
been lied to, and I think it’s
important for Americans to
step up and say that it’s just
not right. It’s not what we bargained for.”

placed sixth for his carving of
a big logger.
Determining who should
take first place, second place,
and so on, was apparently no
easy task. Judges, too, had
their work cut out for them.
“This is probably one of the
toughest years to judge
because they are all so good.
... These guys are good. I
don’t know how else to put
it,” said Ed Gomes, one of
five judges, who rated the
carvings on their theme, originality, difficulty, structural
integrity, completion and finish, and appeal.

Hence, WIN could be
described as nothing less than
a “win-win” situation.
The program -- which
pending grant approval will
be implemented at the beginning of the 2006-07 school
year -- provides 13 proven
strategies that can be used to
prevent violence. Adult and
student focus groups first
identified the main issues in
need of addressing locally,
and next plans to address
these issues using the following
six
components:
Administrative
planning,
monitoring, and support;
security of the school facility
itself; school wide education
and skills training to reduce
aggressive and violent behavior; alternative education for
youths who are chronic and
serious offenders and have
special needs; and involvement of parents, policy makers, juvenile justice authorities, business people, and
community organizations in
planning and interventions to
create a safe school, states the
application.
“The grant is also talking
about allowing us to have a
youth safety summit in Ukiah
every year, and it talks about
trying to create a blue print for
a community mentoring program,” Montoya said.
All that said, Ukiah High
School is a safe school,
Montoya said. “We basically
reflect what we have in our
community and that is true for
all high schools.”

ished.” Muir said he also likes
working with the other
carvers, some of whom he has
known for 20 years.
Jason Emmons, of Indiana,
who has been competitively
carving since 2002, took second place in the competition
for his playful carving of two
beavers, logging.
Years of working in a family-owned sawmill business
led him to try his hand at
something more creative.
“When you work in a sawmill
you take a log and turn it into
lumber and I always wanted to
take it a step further and make
a finished product,” he said of
an art he describes as extremely draining physically and one
that requires you to stay mentally sharp.
Emmons said he took art in
high school instead of shop
classes. Now, at 32, he is part
of the Echo (chain saw company) carving team, and competes all over the world. He
also owns his own carving
shop. “It started with just a
few bears in the corner of the
room and it’s grown ... To do
what I’m doing now ... I never
thought I’d be here in 30
years, much less three.”
Bob King, of Washington,
also part of the Echo carving
team, placed fourth in the
competition for his goat
sculpture, which some had
predicted would take first
place, due to its extensive
detail.
“I love wildlife and the
theme worked for me,” he
said when asked why he
decided to carve a mother goat
and her baby.
What got him into carving?
“I’d seen it done. I was a
spectator at a fair standing on
the other side of the fence,
looking (at carvings) in awe,
and I said, ‘I could do that.’ I
don’t have any art background, it’s a God given gift. I
just like the idea that I can
wake up and see what I can or
can’t do.”
Prior to his carving career,
King worked for Boeing in a
technical testing lab. “I was
also a computer geek and I
make as much if not more
doing this,” he said, noting, in
addition, now he is his own
boss and he gets to travel a lot.
Equally important, however, is the fulfillment he gets
out of doing it.
“It’s quite a release ... we
use these loud, obnoxious,
and what are perceived as
destructive pieces of equipment, and make beautiful artwork.”
Mark Colp, of Lakeport
(and also on the Echo competitive carving team), Brad
Sharp, of Fortuna, and Steve
Backus, of Washington also
entered the competition. Colp
placed third for an eagle carving, Sharp placed fifth for a
big bear carving, and Backus
lence, provide resources dedicated to the issue, and implement research-based, proven
violence prevention strategies
and programs to students,
families, and staff,” states the
application.
Although he’s hopeful the
grant will come through,
Montoya said partnerships in
fighting campus violence are
already forming.
“If we don’t get the grant
we still have the infrastructure
of communication with the
grant partners and we have
also created an adult focus
group that is still interested in
wanting to meet and talk
about safety issues and we are
also going to continue to meet
with students and talk about
safety issues,” Montoya said.
The district will also be looking at other kinds of curriculum that are free or low cost,
and continue its staff development to help deal with issues
of tolerance, respect, resiliency, diversity, etc., he said.
Ukiah High School is the
largest school in Mendocino
County with total enrollment
currently at 1,817 students,
according to Montoya, who
noted the high school population, along with all the adults
that come on campus, represents approximately 15 percent of the city’s total population in one geographic area,
five days a week.
Although hate crimes are
the hot topic of the moment -as the result of a recent incident involving neo-Nazi
activity by Ukiah High School
students -- increasing gang
activity has been a much larg-
er concern for a number of
years.
“Gang activity has escalated in the county as gang
recruitment from urban areas
has spread up the Highway
101 corridor,” states the grant
application.
Other areas of concern,
according to Ukiah High’s
most
recent
Discipline
Statistical Report, include
alcohol/drug use, personal
threats, and fighting.
Offenses for alcohol/drug
use went from 45 in 2004 to
64 in 2005, states the grant
application. In addition, the
application states “the number
of assaults doubled from 2004
to 2005, incidents of fighting
went from 51 students
involved in 2004 to 79 in
2005, harassment went from
45 student perpetrators in
2004 to 63 in 2005, and the
number of incidents of personnel being threatened by
students has tripled since
2003.”
With that said, these numbers reflect the number of students, not the number of incidents, Montoya reminds.
“Meaning, if we had an incident with a fight and three students are involved, we report
three. It’s not that there were
three fights; there was a fight
with three students,” he said.
The same is true for reports
regarding offenses for alcohol/drug use, etc.
Lastly, according to the
grant application, some “23
percent of Ukiah High ninthgraders have carried a weapon
to school at least once, compared to 6 percent statewide.”

Matter
of all of our lives that we
could not get back. When
county staff brought the topic
up the second time, they
admitted needing to go over
what was already said. A total
of about two extraneous
hours would be spent on the
issue.
But if I merely sighed in
resignation then, imagine my
reaction this past week.
We all know Supervisor
Jim Wattenburger asked
county staff to look into
options for a county-wide
building “time-out,” in order
to allow the Ukiah Valley
Area Plan be finalized before
deciding on any more planning. It was quite the bombshell, to be sure, but it was
feasible and county staff set
to work on manufacturing
legal proposals.
On Tuesday, three UVAPrelated agenda items stared
the supervisors, as well as a
packed house of local residents and business people, in
the face. In the press room,
we settled into our chairs and
awaited the mammoth debate
to come.
Never happened.
Wattenburger announced to
the crowd that since his declaration on January 24 he had
changed his mind, and without a strong advocate, the
debate never got off the
ground. The public comment
period beforehand was many
times the length of that of the
supervisors. And why shouldn’t it have been? They, like
county staff, expected the
supervisors to actually want
the debate.
Now, if you thought I was
heated after two hours of
wasted government time, sit
down for this one: It was estimated during the meeting that
county staff spent more than
a hundred hours of high-level
staff time in preparation for
the major discussion topic.
Assuming you work an eight-
hour workday, this would be
like slaving at your desk for a
week and a half -- and then
throwing everything into the
shredder.
A handful of residents
emailed me the next day,
flabbergasted. All us local
government groupies see how
over-worked county staff can
get. For such a demand to be
placed on them, and then the
work to be dismissed, is such
a heinous waste of officials’
precious time and taxpayers’
hard-earned money that it
makes me queasy to think
about.
County officials quickly
spun the day’s events as beneficial because the public
became invigorated by the
abortive proposal. Perhaps,
perhaps. But surely there’s a
more efficient method of
gauging the community’s
opinions and fervor. For
example, during the next
water rights debate, is the
county going to announce a
proposal to convert all reservoirs to Nevada’s ownership?
And then when the supes’
chambers fill up say, “Well,
it’s good to get the public
energized!”
This is of course not to
mention the dozens of construction workers’ families
who anxiously waited for
more than a month to learn if
jobs would be lost during a
possible two-year building
moratorium. I can’t imagine
what those dinners were like,
the agonizing conversations
between employer and
employee as the fear of a
construction time-out pervaded every day’s thoughts.
Now, this is in no way a
dig on Wattenburger for
requesting 100-plus staff
hours and then divorcing
himself from the original proposal. There are plenty of
examples highlighting poor
uses of county time and
resources; for each one I
could name, I’m sure a 20year Ukiah resident could
name three. This is just the
latest, most egregious.
The problem seems to be a
political system that allows
officials to request staff
action, but does not include a
mechanism to “undo” the
request. With all the productive moves the new executive
model is taking toward
streamlining and efficiency,
how can the work-culture still
allow for 12 days of wasted
staff time?
We, the residents of this
county, need to realize we are
only as well-served as the
largely faceless county
staffers allow us to be.
County officials -- and they
know who they are -- work
tirelessly to author ordinances, research laws, crunch
numbers and all the other
tasks none of us are qualified
to do, all for the supervisors
to be able to give an aye or a
nay.
Looking at the county
work plan for 2006, I do not
see a workshop dedicated to
streamlining supervisor-staff
relations. But there is a
Human Services budget and
restructuring workshop
scheduled for Sept. 25 on
“program reviews and budget
analysis.” Would this be an
appropriate time for the county to take a close look at its
internal dialogue process in
order to give staff a day-byday, as opposed to a meetingby-meeting, appraisal of
supervisor priorities? If not,
perhaps the “structural
review” on Public Resources
set for Oct. 16 would be a
solid fit.
I know the work plan is
highly ambitious already, but

COMMUNITY BRIEFS
Ukiah Skate Park committee
seeking volunteers
The Ukiah Skate Park will be built Summer
2007, but not without the community’s help.
The site has been selected, located on E.
Perkins Street by the Railroad tracks. The committee needs help with every aspect to make
this happen. The committee is comprised of
roughly 10 people, most of whom have stuck
with this project steadfastly for five years or
more. That is simply not enough to make the
dream become a reality. The committee is
looking for volunteers who care enough about
the youth of this community to give them a
safe place to participate in their sport. This project will be there to serve generations in the
future. The committee needs help building the
Skate Park and cleaning up that area so the
whole community can enjoy that space.
Besides the skating surface, there will also be a
picnic area and landscaping for the whole community to enjoy, with restrooms and ample
parking.
Interested community members are encouraged to attend a meeting to see how they can
help. Meetings are held the first Tuesday of
every month at the City Hall conference room,
411 W. Clay St., from 5:15 to 6:30 p.m.
The committee is currently working on the
design and fundraising. They have received
approximately $600,000 in grant funds and
donations which will help them get started, but
initial estimates for a complete park run $1-1.2
million
For more information, visit their Web site at

Richard Charter to address
Gualala meeting of Ocean
Protection Coalition Monday
Gualala Meeting of Ocean Protection
Coalition will take place Monday at the 6:30
p.m. meeting in Gualala. The meeting is in the
Sunstrum Mall, look for the sign on the left (if
going south) next to the Post Office. Donna
Bishop and other activists are getting a good
crowd, and bringing refreshments. The group
carpool from North County.
Richard Charter has agreed to attend a lead
a strategic and tactical discussion on preventing offshore oil drilling. Corporate America is
unfolding a very multi-faceted, long-range
plan to drill for all the oil and gas off the US,
but Richard Charter is the best analyst of this
plan, and we and he are unfolding an even
longer-term plan to achieve wildness and harmony over many generations to come. Please
come and work with us on this.
As head of the National Outer Continental
Shelf Coalition, Richard Charter keeps a
moment-by-moment watch on the Byzantine
Congressional battles as corporate America
tries to break the widespread knowledge that
more drilling is self-destructive, suicidal, and
to feed terminal petroleum addiction. He keeps
me posted on what is happening, and we discuss strategy together.
The Mendocino Striped Bass Association
has just planted 5000 fish in the lake and now
they need the communities help paying for the.
Anyone interested in helping can join the club
or send donations to P.O. Box 271, Calpella
Ca, 95418.

Measuring tree
diameter and height
Trees are in part valued
on their volume. To determine the volume of a tree
the diameter and the height
of the tree must be measured.
A flexible measuring tape
can be used to measure the
diameter. The diameter of a
tree is measured at breast
height, which is defined as
4.5 feet above the ground
on the uphill side of the
tree. The circumference of
the tree is what you will
measure by wrapping the
tape around it, making sure
there are no kinks in the
tape and the tape does not
sag. To convert the circumference at breast height to
the diameter at breast
height (dbh), divide by
3.14. For example if the circumference is 82”, dividing
by 3.14 will yield a result
of 26”, therefore the dbh of
the tree is 26”.
A measuring tape and
two sticks of equal length
can be used to measure the
height of a tree. Find the
center point on one of the
sticks, hold the other stick
perpendicular to it, effectively making the letter
“T”. Step away from the
tree until you can see the
top and bottom. Put the
base of the “T” between
your eyes, then walk away
or toward the tree until the
top and bottom of the stick
line up with the top and
bottom of the tree. Make a
mark on the ground, the
p.m. Monday, March 27 at the offices of SEIU
Local #707, 655 Kings Court in Ukiah.
The primary business of the meeting will be
to organize this year’s observance of Workers
Memorial Day. The Coalition invited any and
all union members living or working in
Mendocino County to become involved in this
year’s Workers Memorial Day observance.
For those who want to become involved but
can not attend the March 27 meeting, or know
the names of workers killed or injured on the
job that should be included on the list of those
honored at the observance, call Terry
Poplawski at 462-6570.
Ukiah Valley Democratic
Club to hold meeting Tuesday
Club meeting will be held Tuesday, March
21 from 7 to 8 p.m. in the Washington Mutual
Community Meeting Room in Ukiah. Agenda
includes organizing for the April 22 Spring

the vote for the primary. Mark calendars for the
third Tuesday of every month to meet with fellow Democrats at the Washington Mutual
Conference Room.
Precinct program (contacting democratic
neighbors) for Mendocino County is now in a
database online. The most important thing a
Democrat can do this election is to help with
this program. Training will be held from 6 to 7
p.m. before the general meeting. For more

distance between your mark
and the tree is the total
height of the tree, if you are
on flat ground. If you are
on sloped ground, the slope
distance will need to be
converted to horizontal distance.
These are exercises for
interested persons that do
not have the tools of the
forestry trade available to
them. Foresters use diameter tapes, biltmore sticks
and relaskops to measure
diameter and height, or

Today is the 78th day of 2006 and the
89th day of winter.
TODAY’S HISTORY: In 1918, the U.S.
Congress established time zones and
approved daylight saving time.
In 1953, the Academy Awards were
broadcast on television for the first time.
In 2003, a U.S.-led coalition began bombing Baghdad, marking the beginning of the
Iraq War.
TODAY’S
BIRTHDAYS:

Important conditions that
have a large influence on
your income will become far
more stabilized in the year
ahead,
offering
larger
rewards for hard work produced. Put forth your best
effort, and you’ll cash in.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March
20) -- Don’t expect others to
cooperate with your plans or
desires if you give them any
reason to suspect you are
disguising
your
true
motives. Lay all your cards
on the table. Major changes
are ahead for Pisces in the
coming year.
ARIES (March 21-April
19) -- A situation where you
share a collective interest
with others is limited in its
potential output because of
the need to satisfy the greatest number. Don’t entertain
unrealistic expectations.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20) -- The apprehension you
feel about teaming up with
another because of your lack
of understanding will vanish
once you put your heads
together with honest talk.
GEMINI (May 21-June
20) -- Your methods might
be a bit ineffective at first,
as you test what it will take
to have a meeting of the
minds with those who are
essential to your aims. But
you’ll find common ground.
CANCER (June 21-July
22) -- Try not to go to
extremes in your financial
dealings, such as being
clever and realistic in one
case but foolish and careless
in another. Stick to the former when dealing with others.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - Someone who loves you
will be concerned about protecting
your
interests.
Wyatt Earp (1848-1929), lawman/gunfighter; Earl Warren (1891-1974), U.S. Supreme
Court chief justice; Joe Venuti (1894-1978),
jazz violinist; Glenn Close (1947- ), actress,
is 59; Bruce Willis (1955- ), actor, is 51.
TODAY’S SPORTS: In 1995, NBA
superstar Michael Jordan returned to the
Chicago Bulls after almost two years of
retirement.
Unless you understand
his/her motives, however,
you could totally withdraw
from any interaction with
this person.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22) -- The best way to spare
yourself any mental anxieties is to forget all the
"what-ifs" and concentrate
solely on those activities
you know you can do efficiently.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.
23) -- You might have to get
a grip when it comes to business dealings with friends.
You can handle yourself in a
practical, prudent manner,
without being a pushover or
closefisted.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
22) -- Be smart and put your
trust in an individual who
has proven loyal to you in
the past -- not in someone
new, a person you merely
hope might help you in the
future.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.
23-Dec. 21) -- Hearsay
information you receive
through an acquaintance
should not be relied upon.
Base your important decisions solely on the facts at
hand.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19) -- Your cherished
goals cannot be fulfilled
through wishy-washy ways
and means. You must first
set definite objectives and
then proceed in a bold and
determined manner.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 19) -- A career matter,
which you may have taken
for granted, will not fall into
place as easily as you have
anticipated. To be on the
safe side, have a hard-nosed
plan ready for presentation.

can be as much endangered from illegal
methods used to convict those thought to be
criminals as from the actual criminals themselves.” -- Earl Warren

served as host or co-host of the Academy
Awards a record 18 times.
TODAY’S MOON: Between full moon

Is there a gourmet in the house?
If you’ve been in a hospital
before, you’ve probably eaten food
that made your high school cafeteria seem like a four-star restaurant.
If a hospital can’t do something
simple, like make dinner, what
makes you think they can do something a bit more complex, like
replace your hip? Isn’t that kind of
trust a little optimistic on your
part?
Right this minute, you could
drive down to the humongous
warehouse store and buy a
microwave oven for around $89.
You could buy two, three -- heck,
for less than a $1,000 you could
have a microwave oven in every
room in your house. Or you could
be like a giant hospital and buy one
microwave oven for thousands of
dollars and put it in your basement.
Then, any time you wanted to eat a
hot meal, all you’d have to do is

the country and buy prepared

They serve hundreds of people

Cool tips for buying that new fridge
Consumer reports ✔
By the Editors of Consumer
Reports
Most of the refrigerators
we test nowadays chill and
freeze at least adequately,
and include such conveniences as pullout shelves
or bins, spill guards and
room on the door for a gallon of milk. Buying a fridge
often is just a matter of
finding one to fit your
kitchen space, needs and
budget.
But knowing when to
scrap your old model can be
just as important as choosing a new one. Obviously,
do-it-yourself repairs such
as replacing a gasket nearly
always make sense. More
serious problems, too, may
be resolved on the cheap,
often by visits to the troubleshooting section of an
owner's manuals or a manufacturer's Web site.
Quandaries arise when
you must decide between
paying for a more costly
repair or buying a new
model. Our in-house experts
-- the people who test new
refrigerators -- offer these
guidelines:
• Repair a model still
under warranty or less than
four years old (three years
for fridges with top freezers).
• Consider repairing one
between four and seven
years old, but bear in mind
a new refrigerator can save
on energy costs.
• Replace any broken
fridge whose repair would
run you more than half the
price of a new, comparable
model.
If you find that it's time
to pull the plug on your old
refrigerator, start your hunt
for a replacement by considering the pros and cons
of the major types. Topfreezer models, for example, cost the least, are relatively inexpensive to run
and offer the most storage
space for their size. Bottom
freezers are best for putting
often-used items at eye
level, but you must bend or
squat for items at the back
or bottom of the freezer.
Although they're relatively
pricey to buy and run -- and
aren't very space-efficient
inside -- side-by-sides fit
well in kitchens that can't
accommodate the wideswinging doors of a top- or
bottom-freezer model.
Once you've decided on a
type, measure the available
space in your kitchen -especially the width -- to
see whether it comes in that
size. (Also measure the
doorways and halls through
which the refrigerator must
pass when it's delivered.)
Our tests revealed several
fine picks spanning all
types in three typical
widths.
• Top freezers: Among
small (30 inches wide)
models, we like the
Kenmore 7495 (at $650,
from Sears, it's a CR Best
Buy) and Frigidaire Gallery
GLRT217TD ($730). For
the higher price, the
Frigidaire adds space and
available stainless-steel
styling. For a midsized (33
inches wide) model, the
Kenmore 7425 offers the
most performance for its
price. At $720 (from Sears),
it, too, is a CR Best Buy.
• Bottom freezers: Our
picks for small models are
the Amana ABB1921DE
($750) and the icemakerequipped Kenmore 7500
($750, from Sears), both CR
Best Buys. The Amana
ABB222ZDE (at $980, it's
also a CR Best Buy) was
our top-scoring midsized
bottom freezer, while two
large (36 inches wide) mod-
els earned our recommendation: the LG LRFC25750
($1,650) and the Kenmore
Elite Trio 7652 ($1,650,
from Sears). Both feature
French-door styling.
• Side-by-sides: Among
midsized models, we like
the Kenmore 5538 for its
low price (at $1,120, from

Selling stocks short big time
How can you sell what you don’t
own? A recent caller to my radio show
asked me to explain “short selling.”
Perhaps you too would like to better
understand this mystifying strategy.
Short selling refers to selling stock you
don’t own. You see, there are two ways
you can make money in the stock market. The most common way -- the one
everyone knows -- is to buy a stock and
hope it rises in value. After it rises, you
sell it. But what if you think prices are
about to fall? In that scenario, you can
sell first, and buy later. Huh? I know
this might not make much sense initially, but stick with me and it will become
clear.
Say you own a pen, and you sell it
for $1 to the guy standing next to you.
You have just sold what you own.
Nothing new there. But now let’s
change the story. Pretend you’re standing between two people. The guy on
your left says to you, “I would like to
buy your pen.” If you have a pen,
you’ll sell it to him -- that’s the above
example. But say you don’t have a pen,
but the guy on your right does. So you
ask the guy on your right if you can
borrow his pen, promising to return it
to him later. He agrees and hands you
his pen. You then sell it for $1 to the
guy on your left. So, now, you have a
dollar, but you also no longer have the
pen. So you rush off to the nearby convenience store and buy the exact same
pen for 75 cents, and you give it to the
guy who had loaned it to you. He now
Truth about
money
By Ric Edelman
has his pen, and you have 25 cents you
didn’t have before. That is short-selling: You sold something you didn’t
own by borrowing it from someone,
and later, you rebought the item so that
you could return it to the lender. You
took a risk -- you gambled that you’d
be able to buy the item later for less
than you are now selling it for. If you
had had to pay more than a dollar for
that pen, you would have lost money
on the transaction.
This example demonstrates why
short-selling is so incredibly dangerous. With normal investing, the most
you can lose is the amount you invest,
while the potential profit is unlimited.
(Think about that: When you buy a
stock, you hope the price rises forever,
and the higher it goes, the richer you
get.) But when short selling, the opposite is true: You make money only if
the stock price falls, and the most it
can fall to is zero. Therefore, your
potential profits are limited, while your
upside risk is open-ended. (Think
about that, too: You sold your friend’s
pen for one dollar, so you must re-buy
it for less than that. But if the pen rises
in price, you’ll rebuy it at $2, $3, $5 or
$500 the higher the price goes, the
more money you lose.)
Most investors chronologically buy
and then sell. A short seller, though,
first sells and then, sometime later,
buys. Short selling is confusing
because the whole process is backward. It’s also highly speculative, and
that’s why we never recommend that
our clients engage in this practice.
The process of short selling is more
involved than I have discussed here.
For example, you are required to pay
interest on the amount that you borrowed. If the price of the stock that you
sold goes up, your brokerage firm will
ask you to deposit additional funds in
your account. If you are unable to do
so within the time limit specified, the
firm will liquidate other securities in
your account to cover the deficit.
Before planning to short-sell any
security, an investor should fully
understand the impact that changes in
the market value of the stock they are
planning to short would have on their
account. And don’t say I didn’t warn
you

DEAR READER: I don’t see how
you are going to squeeze out money for
a Roth IRA with the modest income
you have described. You didn’t indicate whether there was a spouse working, but I’m assuming this is not the
case. While a part-time job would be
very difficult for someone like you, it’s
difficult to overemphasize the value of
a Roth IRA over the years. Hopefully,
downrange, your income will increase
and make contributing a little easier.
The idea of having totally tax-free
money for a couple of decades, which
is possible in your case, is an amazing
offer and one that should not be
ignored, if at all possible.

DEAR L.S.: If you have exhausted

Medicaid, it is very possible that, upon
your death, the state will seek to recover some of the money expended on
your behalf. If you wish to impoverish
yourself, you are free to do so, but you
must meet the “look back” requirements, which means you have to get it
done early enough. Otherwise, they
will come to your estate to look for
reimbursement.

DEAR VIRGINIA: Unfortunately,
there are relatively few legitimate

of most of the rip-offs is, they will
want money from you up-front. I have
yet to see an advertisement that purported to help people like you actually
get the job done. There is telephone
soliciting, which is difficult and timeconsuming and requires the hide of a
hippopotamus. Occasionally, you can
find a local merchant that needs work
to be done at home. You are unfortunately part of a very large group of
people who would like to work at
home for similar reasons. As a consequence, there are tons of folks who will
try to skin you out of your money, and
very few will offer you legitimate
employment.

Is a new bathroom in
reader’s comfort zone?
DEAR MARY: I’m in a quandary. I have six years left on
my mortgage. I want to add a second bathroom to my home.
As a freelance artist, I consider my home to be my main
retirement fund. I have no unsecured debt, but I have lots of
bills and never know how much I’ll make in a month.
Adding a bathroom will increase the home’s value. I did the
math, and my payments will go up about $400 per month,
which I can swing; however, this will reset my mortgage to
10 years. I would really appreciate your input. I don’t want
to be 60 and say, "Why didn’t I add on when I was in my
working years?" But then, I don’t want to be bogged down
with another long mortgage, either. Your thoughts? -- Debra
D., e-mail
DEAR DEBRA: According to Remodeling Magazine
(remodeling.hw.net), the nationwide average for adding a
midrange, complete bathroom in 2005 was $22,977. Using
your figures, the improvement you have in mind will cost
$48,000 ($400 times 120 months) by the time you spend 10
years repaying the loan. You can expect to increase your
home’s value by up to 86.4 percent of the cost, which in this
case would be about $19,000.
I recommend you wait for one year, during which time
you test this idea: Every month, write a $400 check to yourself and stash it in a special savings account. At the end of
the year, you’ll have saved $4,800, and you’ll know
whether an extra $400 payment fits your comfort zone. If
you can handle it, great. Take the $4,800 you’ve saved, get
a $15,000 home-improvement loan, and add the bathroom.
Then make $400 monthly payments on the new loan. At 7
percent interest, you would pay it in full in about 3-1/2
years without having to rewrite your current mortgage. On
the other hand, if you decide the monthly payment is just
too burdensome, you can put the bathroom idea on the back
burner. You’ll still have an extra $4,800.
DEAR MARY: We just purchased a new car, but the
bank’s and dealership’s interest rates are high. The dealership’s is 6.9 percent, and the bank’s is 7.8 percent. We
would like to try an online loan since we have great credit
and feel we could get a better rate. Are they safe? My husband does not want to put our personal information out
there because of identify theft and other reasons. (He’s a
lawyer.) Any advice on new-car loans? -- Kathryn R., New
York
DEAR KATHRYN: I think it’s safe provided you stick
with a well-known, reputable lender, such as Capital One
(capitaloneautofinance.com), which has an aggressive
online auto-loan program. As I write this column, their lowest rate for a new car is 5.39 percent. Read the privacy policy at the Web site regarding encryption and how they handle applications and client information. Personally, I don’t
think this is any different than walking into a bank and
handing a stranger your application. If you are uncomfortable filling out an application online, call customer service
and ask whether you can print your application and send it
by fax or certified mail.

Ask the Guys
Dear Classified Guys,
My husband has wanted a pool table
since the day our son went off to college. He's convinced that he can
convert my son's 10-foot by 12-foot
room into a billiards hall. Already,
he's found a deal on a pool table in
the classifieds but it's a 4-foot by 8foot table. I have to imagine that it's
too big for his makeshift billiards
hall, but he won't listen. How much
room do you actually need for a pool
table? And what does it take to
move it? Right now my husband's
planning on recruiting his three
friends to lift it up a flight of
stairs on Saturday and be
playing pool by Sunday.
• • •
Cash: I'm not sure who will
be more surprised with the new
billiards hall: Your husband when he
realizes the room is too small or your
son when he realizes he'll be sleeping
on a pool table.
Carry: Unfortunately, it seems your
husband is still in dreamland. A pool
table of that size will not properly fit in
a 10' x 12' room. Even if he gets it set
up properly, he'd have to open a window to take a shot.
Cash: Most table manufacturers recommend at least 5-feet of space around

Knock Out
In an age when sports have become
more extreme than ever, billiards is still
one activity that parents can rest easy
about. According to the National Safety
Council, billiards remains one of the
safest sports with less than 1 out of 5700
participants getting some sort of injury.
This seems like a safe alternative when
compared to tackle or flag football.
These sports average one injury for
every 45 participants. However, it does
seem that billiards may take some time
to master. The average age of the champion is just over 35 years old.
Ever since I bought a pool table, my
brothers come over to joke around and
play pool. It seems we can never stop
laughing with each other.
This past week while I was making
a trick shot, my younger brother knelt
down behind the pocket I was shooting at and made funny faces. I tried
not to laugh and took the shot.
Unfortunately, the cue ball bounced
off the table and hit him right in the
forehead. Immediately he fell to the
floor and laid there for close to a
minute.
As he started to come to, my older
brother and I asked him, "Are you
alright? Do you know what just happened?"
In his typical joking manner he
replied, "Not really, I don't have a
cue."
(Thanks to Henry C.)
Batter Up?
all sides of a pool table. That would
mean that he needs a 14' x 18' space.
Although most home pool tables have
some sort of obstruction around them,
your husband would have to make his
trick shots from the closet.
Carry: As for attempting to move the
pool table, your husband is in for a big
surprise. A typical table can weight
between 500 to 1000 pounds and
should never be moved in one piece. If
he and his friends attempted to lift it up
the stairs, they'd probably ruin the
table.
Cash: Most playing surfaces are
comprised of three pieces of slate. In
order to move a table and not break the
slate into pieces, it needs to be disassembled before moving. Even then,
each piece of slate can weight 150 to
200 pounds each.
Carry: Unless your husband has previous experience moving a pool table,
it's best to leave the process to a professional. Setting up a pool table can be
tricky since the slate surfaces need to
be realigned and leveled properly
before stretching the felt over them.
Cash: Considering the room size,
maybe your husband should look for
another hobby, possibly one that still
allows your son someplace to sleep.
Many sports share terminology, but
with terms like inning, foul and throw,
you might think we were talking about
baseball. In fact, these terms refer to a
billiards game. Inning is actually a
player's turn at the table, which in some
pocket games may last for several
racks. A foul is any infraction at the
table resulting in a penalty, and a throw
is a type of shot in which english or
spin alters the path of the object ball on
the table.
