Rainbow Construction sues school district
By LAURA CLARK
The Daily Journal
Rainbow Construction Company has filed a
lawsuit against the Ukiah Unified School
District in connection with the building of
Grace Hudson Elementary School.
The district hired Rainbow in May 2002 to
build the school, but delays and other problems
that emerged during the 30-month construction
project have been a subject of contention
between Rainbow and Ukiah Unified ever
since.
Rainbow has said the school district and
TLCD Architecture, also hired for the job, are
IN COURT
responsible for the project running late and has
requested compensation for the additional time
taken to complete it. The school district disagrees that it was responsible for the delays.
Mediation, as well as numerous offers and
counter offers between the two entities, failed
to resolve the problem.
Steve Hartsell, the attorney representing the
school district, on Wednesday declined to discuss the district’s stance on the lawsuit, but did
say the district has a month to file a response.
“That response may be an answer, and the

completed
Firefighters say restoring
Baker Creek now up
to the railroad authority
By SETH FREEDLAND
The Daily Journal
Ukiah
Mayor
Mark
Ashiku’s demolition trial was
postponed Wednesday, pushing pretrial hearings and the
likely jury trial back about a
month.
One reason for the delay
was the fact that the case was
recently assigned to Assistant
District Attorney Keith
Faulder from Deputy DA Tim
Stoen, who DA Norm
Vroman moved recently to
run his office on the coast.
Faulder will need more time
to talk to witnesses, suggested
Steve Gallenson, Ashiku’s
attorney.
Faulder was unavailable
for comment after the hearing.
During
the
hearing,
Faulder suggested little would
prevent a jury trial, despite
some additional evidence yet
to come. Gallenson replied by
telling Judge David Nelson he
was “a little more hopeful”
for a dismissal.
Of interest to both parties
is the testimony of former city
building
official
Carl
Tuliback, who currently lives
in Bozeman, Mont. Faulder
noted in court the need to provide Gallenson a recording of
Tuliback’s perspective. Because such a “critical witness” lives in Montana, the
postponement is necessary,
Faulder said.
Tuliback was unavailable
for comment, but previously
wrote a letter to the editor,
published by The Daily
Journal Sept. 19, defending
Ashiku.
“Having served as the City
of Ukiah’s Building Official
for over 11 years,” Tuliback
wrote, “I can tell you that the
protocol established … has
been that remodeling, additions or alterations to any
existing building does not
require demolition permits
provided that the demolition
is in conjunction with a building permit for the reconstruction of that portion of the
building.”
Nelson previously ruled
that the city code pertaining
to “demolition” is not vague
and that the case could go to
trial. Ashiku’s building permit
application only described his
work as “addition (and) renovation of existing home.”
The pretrial hearings are
now scheduled for Feb. 21
with motions on March 3. The
full jury trial -- should the
case not be dismissed -- is
expected to begin March 20.

Emaciated horses in Westport enjoy hay provided at the time of their rescue by Animal
Control last month.
County may have to pay for
continued care of 35 horses
Volunteer effort running
out of cash and energy
See SLIDE, Page 15
By SETH FREEDLAND
The Daily Journal
A Westport man contesting
Mendocino County officials’
seizure of 35 undernourished
horses requested a postponement
on his hearing this week, a move
that might cost the county dearly.
The hearing -- scheduled for
Friday before it was continued -was aimed to determine if county
Animal Care and Control staffers
acted appropriately in seizing his
animals.
James DeNoyer, who kept the
horses in two different locations,
said he wanted to ensure the county counsel’s office had the appropriate information to proceed,
Animal Care officials said. John
Morely, interim Animal Care manager, said his office was still filing
reports and photographs on the
horses’ status on Wednesday.
A small coalition of volunteers
is currently caring for the emaciated animals at stables in Little Lake
Valley. The group cleans, feeds
and pays for the horses’ recovery,
but the recent delay may stretch
A combined force of firefighters and
California Department of Forestry
employees finished work Tuesday
night on cleanup of a Redwood Valley
slide near Route 101, caused by recent
storms that washed out a section of
railroad track, flooded 12 homes and
dammed up the creek, trapping millions of gallons of water.
A slide in McGee Canyon spread
debris up to a mile-and-a-half south of
the railroad tracks and dammed up
Baker Creek, creating a massive
impromptu reservoir. A CDF geologist
estimated the water reached 5.5 million
gallons at its height, enough water to
cover three football fields.
The slide swept debris through the
back yards of the Renfro Lane subdivision and temporarily blocked the tunnel that runs beneath North State Street
and Route 101, flooding the subdivision.
A combined crew of 50, made up of
Redwood Valley firefighters, crews
from the CDF in Chamberlain Creek
and Parlin Forks and local landowners

the group’s limits beyond the
breaking point.
Paul Michelsen, a veterinarian
at Michelsen and Witt Large
Animal Practice in Redwood
Valley, is the hearing’s key witness because he performed the
original assessments on the horses, said Roni McFadden, his office
manager and a leader of the volunteer network. Michelsen scheduled a three-week trip to Rome for

month of care for the dozens of

In a move even Muggles could
appreciate, Harry Potter will join the
curriculum at Willits schools in the
near future.
At the December school board
meeting, teacher Becky Bowlds asked
and received the board’s permission to
add “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s
Stone” to the high school reading list.
The book, she told the board, is popular with students, has rich language
and a complex story line, and features
likable young adult characters facing
immense challenges. Bowlds predicted
adding the book to the curriculum
would inspire enthusiasm for reading.
Tsunami sirens arrive in Humboldt County
By JOHN DRISCOLL
Eureka Times Standard
Nearly four dozen sirens have
arrived from the Diablo Canyon
nuclear power plant to use as part of a
warning system for earthquake-generated waves on the North Coast.
Some of the 47 sirens will eventual-
ly be placed along tsunami-prone areas
of the coast and be tied into a system
that emergency officials are beginning
to craft. The sirens were shipped in last
week, as the county was recovering
from a major New Year’s Eve storm.
“They all look like they are in really
good shape,” said Troy Nicolini with
the National Weather Service on
Woodley Island.
Pacific Gas and Electric Co. donated
the $50,000 worth of equipment from
its San Luis Obispo nuclear plant. It’s
replacing the warning system in that
area, freeing up the sirens.
The “noisemakers,” said Dan Larkin
with the Humboldt County Sheriff’s
Department Office of Emergency
Services, are just a piece of equipment.
Agencies from Hum-boldt, Del Norte
and Mendocino counties and communities will have to work together to
determine where best to put the sirens,
and how to activate them.

Bush fields questions about war
and other administration policies
The world briefly
Alito turns aside Democrats’ criticism,
seems headed for confirmation
WASHINGTON (AP) — Supreme Court nominee Samuel
Alito turned aside Democratic attacks on his judicial record during occasionally emotional confirmation hearings Wednesday,
declaring his impartiality and saying, “If I’m confirmed I’ll be
myself.” At one point his wife, Martha-Ann Bomgardner, left the
hearing room in tears. Her husband was being questioned at the
time by Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.
“Are you really a closet bigot?” Graham asked Alito. The
nominee said no, and Graham said, “No sir, you’re not.”
Alito had been responding to repeated Democratic questioning
about his noting in a 1985 job application that he had been a
member of a controversial Princeton alumni group. The nominee
joined Democrats in denouncing positions of the group.
“I am who I am and I am my own person,” said the 55-yearold appeals court judge, who would replace Justice Sandra Day
O’Connor in what has been a swing seat on the Supreme Court.
Sharon’s condition gradually improves as
Israel turns its attention to politics
JERUSALEM (AP) — With Ariel Sharon’s condition gradually improving, doctors hoped Wednesday to completely remove
him from sedatives soon — a process that could take a day-anda-half — so they can assess what brain damage he suffered from
a massive stroke.
New polls indicated Sharon’s Kadima Party would easily win
March 28 elections and had even gained strength since the popular prime minister fell ill a week ago. With Sharon in critical but
stable condition, the fight to choose his successor began in
earnest. Kadima officials floated the idea of giving Sharon the top
slot on the party’s election list, while keeping acting Prime
Minister Ehud Olmert as its candidate for premier. The unlikely
proposal was strongly debated by Israeli politicians Wednesday
in a sign that the country’s vibrant political life was reviving after
grinding to a halt because of Sharon’s stroke.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — After initial reservations,
President Bush said Wednesday that he isn’t bothered by congressional hearings into his domestic spying program as long as
they don’t aid the enemy.
“That’s good for democracy,” Bush said, provided the hearings don’t “tell the enemy what we’re doing.”
In the days after the secret wiretapping without warrants was
revealed, Bush cautioned against hearings, saying that congressional leaders had been privately consulted and that he had
worked within the law to authorize eavesdropping on
Americans with suspected ties to terrorists.
Senate Judiciary Chairman Arlen Specter, R-Pa., has
promised hearings on the issue, and the Senate Intelligence
Committee could also investigate. House Democrats have
asked their Intelligence Committee for hearings, and Democrats
on the House Judiciary Committee plan to hold a forum on the
monitoring program’s legal ramifications on Jan. 20.
Iran defiant as West looks likely to push
for sanctions over nuclear program
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — The U.S. and Britain said
Wednesday that Western countries will likely seek Iran’s referral to the U.N. Security Council after it restarted nuclear activity. Iran’s president said his country would not be bullied and
would push ahead with the program.
British Prime Minister Tony Blair said he could not rule out
the possibility that Iran will face economic sanctions.
International impatience with Iran was growing after it broke
U.N. seals at a uranium enrichment plant Tuesday and said it
was resuming nuclear research after a two-year freeze. Enriched
uranium can be used as a fuel for both nuclear energy and
nuclear weapons.
Former political aide pleads guilty

Wednesday with a guilty plea by one of the congressman’s former staffers.
Brett Pfeffer, 37, a former legislative director to Rep.
William Jefferson, D-La., pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting
bribery of a public official and conspiracy. He could get 20
years in prison when sentenced March 31.
A spokeswoman for Jefferson declined to comment.
Specifically, Pfeffer said in federal court that a congressman
demanded bribes in exchange for his assistance in brokering
two African telecom deals.
Court documents did not identify the congressman by name,
referring to him only as “Representative A.” But the documents
make clear that Jefferson is the congressman.
Man convicted of throwing grenade at
Bush, Georgian leader; sentenced to life
TBILISI, Georgia (AP) — A court Wednesday convicted a
man of trying to assassinate President Bush and the leader of
Georgia by throwing a grenade at them during a rally last year,
and it sentenced him to life in prison.
Vladimir Arutyunian also was convicted of killing a policeman during a shootout while authorities were trying to arrest
him several weeks after the May 10, 2005, grenade incident at
a rally that drew tens of thousands of people to the capital of
this former Soviet republic.
The grenade that Arutyunian threw during the rally attended
by Bush and President Mikhail Saakashvili landed about 100
feet from the stage where they were standing behind a bulletproof barrier and did not explode. No one was hurt.

All is not as it seems in Dublin,
Missouri: “a quiet, wide awake, prosperous town,” as the actors tell the
audience. There’s a cheese factory, a
community theater, high school basketball legends, and, beneath the
calm-seeming surface, a murder or
two. Ruth Hoch, a local bookkeeper
and amateur thespian starring in a
local play, begins a quest to find truth
and honesty amid small town jealousies, religion, greed and lies.
Providing a startling, timely snapshot
of many issues confronting contemporary society, this is a thought-provoking masterpiece from one of America's
greatest playwrights.

Ukiah Junior Academy Chorale
to sing at the Kennedy Center May 28
The Daily Journal
Ukiah Junior Academy Chorale has
been invited to sing at The Kennedy
Center next May 28, 2006 Ukiah Junior
Academy Chorale under the direction of
Margie Salcedo Rice is proud to
announce their upcoming concert at The
Kennedy Center on May 28, 2006. They
will be joining 150 other singers under
the direction of Randy Pagel and accompanied by the Washington National
Symphony. They will perform composer
John Leavitt’s “Requiem.”
Earlier this year the Ukiah Junior
Academy Chorale had the special privilege of performing at the famous
Carnegie Hall in New York. Their trip
was a tremendous success and they look
forward to another once in a lifetime
opportunity to sing at one of the most
famous concert halls in the world, says
Rice. Randy Pagel, chorale director
extended a special invitation to Ukiah
Junior Academy Chorale to come and
join them once again performing at
another historic concert hall. The
Kennedy Center is home to the National
Symphony Orchestra and the American
Ballet Theatre. The students will have an
opportunity to tour the center and perform on the main stage. Following the
concert, the singers will take a dinner
cruise on the Potomac River and view the
memorials and monuments all lit up at
night.
Ukiah Junior Academy Chorale will be
performing at the annual Christmas
Cantata scheduled for Dec. 11 at the
Ukiah Seventh-day Adventist Church.
Tickets for the concert will be available
at Mendocino Book Company, Rod’s
Shoes and Ukiah Seventh-day Adventist
Church. A suggested donation of $8 is
appreciated. In order to raise funds for
this trip, the Chorale is planning a benefit
dinner/concert and silent auction. The
date will be announced. However, if
intersted parties would like to donate
funds now, they can make their check
payable
to
Ukiah
Junior
AcademyKennedy Center Fund. A special account has been set up at Savings
Bank of Mendocino to help those students who cannot afford to pay. The public’s generous donations will be very
much appreciated. For more information,

Think you don’t like sax
quartets? Think again! The
ISQ’s incredibly diverse program covers music from the
classics to jazz, from bebop
to pop. All four musicians are
masters of their craft and
equally at home in any genre.
But, the success of such an
instrumental combination
ultimately comes down to
how interesting a program the
combo can put together and
these gentlemen know how to
it. An interesting novelty on
the program is the Jean
Françaix Petit Quatour pour
Saxophones. This work, a
superb and jazzy evocation of
Paris in the 1930s, succeeds
on many levels, both as entertainment and as a serious
work of music. Its tongue-incheek Gallic humor receives
a charming performance
wherever it is performed. As
far as the transcriptions go,
some are knockouts, like the
Gershwin “An American in
Paris” arranged by
Cappuccio, the wonderful
arrangement of Scott Joplin’s
“Easy Winners” by Maure,
and the two Piazzola works
arranged by the group’s own
Mario Marzi.

Letters from our readers
Ukiah schools not so hot
To the Editor:
I’m not one to relish in writing unnecessarily to the editor, but being home this
winter break made me reflect on my Ukiah
public education.
I want to share my reflection with you in
the hope that it will shed some light on
your community’s education system.
I can say with little hesitation that, at
least at the junior high and high school levels, most of my classroom experience was
a waste of my time and I equate this namely to my teachers. Now this is not to say
that a great deal of accountability shouldn’t
be put on the students to make sure that the
teachers can effectively do their job, nor
am I relinquishing parents of their duty to
motivate and foster a learning environment
at home. However, much of a child’s lifetime in their first 18 years is spent in the
classroom, and therefore teachers have a de
facto responsibility to shape and impact the
future generations. While I understand the
teaching profession is very difficult and
that teachers can’t work miracles, like with
any job, I would expect at least some sort
of effort - or for that matter, some degree
of sanity.
To the teachers out there that genuinely
put in an effort, and you know who you
are, I hope you understand this doesn’t
apply to you nor is it meant to marginalize
what you do. You are the rare and valuable
exception to the rule.
I also want to preface my criticism with
the fact that it is not coming from someone
who was disengaged in school or at odds
with teachers, but rather someone who
probably could have been pegged as a
“teacher’s pet.” I can’t say I was always a
perfect student by any means, but can state
with some certainty I was most likely more
school conscious than the average teenager.
Yet, I feel like any successes I may have
had were not because of the system, but
despite it.
With all the talk in the media about the
glory of teachers, my experience more
often consisted of me either instructing
myself from a textbook or trying to cope
with their general day-to-day instability.
Let me illustrate with some examples:
I once had a teacher who not only seldom showed up to her own class, but when
she did, couldn’t teach because she was so
behind on her grading. While she assigned
an exorbitant amount of work, she returned
only a small percentage of it for legitimate
reasons like, and I quote, “It was sunny
outside and I didn’t feel like it.”
There are at least two I can recall that
had never, or hadn’t recently, even read the
textbook and therefore had the transparent
tendency to just make things up. Another
admitted, after a conference with my mother, she didn’t keep a grade book but rather
gave grades on a whim.
One never got my name right once all
year, but simultaneously let star athletes
take exams up at his desk. Another
“coach” conveniently left the test keys
open on his desk while leaving the room,
and one teacher let the class run so wild
that not a single student should have
received a passing grade had they not been
inflated.
Not to mention a class where I was often
afraid a coffee cup or some other hard
object might come flying at my head someday depending the instructor’s mood.
These are just a few simplistic examples
of a seemingly ubiquitous problem, a problem that from what I can tell is only getting
worse.
One might argue that this shallow
teacher pool might be a side effect of under
compensation. This might be true, but it
should be known that they actually represent a class of somewhat elite Ukiahans.
Based upon the latest data I could find, a
mid-level Ukiah Unified teacher makes

Syndrome
nearly $48,000 dollars per year, roughly
$24,000 more than the average per capita
income and $16,000 more than the average
total income for households in Ukiah - all
with a three month vacation.
The current “outsourcing” of education
to charter schools doesn’t seem to be the
answer either. From the experiences of
people close to me, these schools seem to
leave students with even less options and
hold them to even lower standards.
So, I leave you with the only solution I
can conjure. To those parents who currently have children in our school system: take
an active role in your child’s education,
and make sure your child’s teachers are
actually doing their jobs. It is going to be
up to you to make the difference. And to
those students currently in Pomolita and
Ukiah High: Good luck.

Horses doing better,
help still needed
To the Editor:
We would like to take this time to sincerely thank everyone in our community
and surrounding communities for the overwhelming support and generosity of donations for the rescued horses.
Because of the veterinarians and volunteers that have been caring for, feeding, and
cleaning stalls for these horses their recovery and well being is now looking
possible. Many, many hours have been
spent with the horses and they are starting to
show signs of life and hope. All of them are
doing so much better, some are still on
shaky grounds but at this time are stable.
Volunteers and donations are still needed.

Thank you
To the Editor:
With the holidays behind us the Ukiah
Main Street Program hopes you and your
families had a safe and wonderful season.
Thank you to everyone who joined us in
supporting our community as you shopped
dined and entertained during this past holiday season.
The Ukiah Main Street Program was
delighted to be part of this year’s activities,
designed to ring in the holidays in Ukiah.
Home for the Holidays was held from the
day after Thanksgiving through the day
after Christmas, with 32 days of festivities
including carolers, musicians, holiday characters, the Hospice tree lighting ceremony,
Santa, and even a mule drawn carriage!
Home for the Holidays offered many
opportunities to support our local community. Shopping locally is important to all of
us as several recent economic studies have
concluded that locally owned independent
businesses reinvest far more money in their
local communities and economies than
chain stores do. Patronizing your local
businesses is good sense for you and good
cents for your local economy!
In addition to all of the delightful activities that Home for the Holidays offered, the
Holiday Trolley, a free trolley service, ran
between the Pear Tree Center, Orchard
Plaza and Downtown Ukiah every day of
the week. The trolley in its 9th year carried thousands of passengers and provided
a festive way to travel during Christmas.
A very special thank you goes to all who
participated in efforts to benefit our community during the 2005 Home for the
Holidays event, including: The Merchants
of Orchard Plaza, Bank of America,
Merchants of Pear Tree Center, Schat’s
Courthouse Bakery, The Coffee Critic,
Umpqua Bank, City of Ukiah, Kwine &
Max Radio, Mendo-Lake Family-Life
Magazine, the Ukiah Daily Journal,
Beeler’s Muffler Shop, Diversified
Lending and the Downtown Merchants
Association.
And above all, we want to thank
Shannon Riley, Nina Matysiak, Becky
Koenig and Andrea Bray for all of your
brilliant ideas and hard work. We couldn’t
have done it without you!

Editor’s Note: Paul Krugman is on vacation.
Whether he knew it or not, President Bush was
faced with a crucial philosophical choice in the frightening and chaotic aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks.
He could have followed the wise counsel of Edward
R. Murrow, who memorably told us, "We cannot
defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home." But he
didn't. He chose instead to follow the disturbing course
mapped out by Barry Goldwater, who insisted,
"Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice ... moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue."
That choice changed the character of America for
the worse, leading (like a character's tragic flaw in an
ancient drama) to the mindless invasion and occupation of Iraq; the imprisonment without trial of thousands of so-called terror suspects, who were denied the
right to protest their innocence or confront their
accusers; the now-infamous torture memo from the
Justice Department; the abuses at Abu Ghraib; the reprehensible practice of rendition, in which individuals
are kidnapped by U.S. officials and handed over to
regimes known to specialize in torture; the creation of
super-secret CIA prisons -- the dungeons of the 21st
century; and, as recently revealed, the president's decision to authorize illegal eavesdropping -- spying -- on
American citizens.
The president has been cavalier about the profound
issues embedded in his radical makeover of America.
Perhaps he doesn't understand them. As the controversy grew over the warrantless eavesdropping on U.S.
citizens by the National Security Agency, Bush, apparently annoyed, said at a press conference, "The fact
that we're discussing this program is helping the
enemy."
Well, Mr. President, one of the great things about
democracy American style is that important national
issues are always subject to a robust national discussion. And few things are more important than making
sure that a president with a demonstrated tendency to
abuse the powers of his office is not allowed to lay the
foundation for the systematic surveillance of the
American people.
For a president -- any president -- to OK eavesdropping on U.S. citizens on American soil without a warrant is an abomination. First, it's illegal -- and for very
good reasons. Spying on the populace is a giant step
toward totalitarianism. In the worst-case scenario, it's
the nightmare of Soviet-style surveillance.
Related to that is the all-important matter of the separation of powers, which is the absolutely crucial cornerstone of our form of government -- our bulwark
against tyranny. An elaborate system of checks and
balances (you need a warrant from a court to wiretap,
for example) prevents the concentration of too much
power in any one branch, or any one person. Get rid of
the checks and balances and you've gotten rid of the
United States as we've known it.
If Bush wants to spy on Americans, let him follow
the law and get a warrant. He's the president, not the
king. The president cannot simply do as he pleases.
Richard Nixon unleashed the dogs of domestic surveillance in the 1970s, and that played a major role in the
constitutional crisis that traumatized the nation and led
to the collapse of his presidency.
Nixon was out of control, so Congress and the
courts stepped in. Threatened with impeachment, he
resigned his office and left town. Checks and balances.
Bush argues that the enemies of the United States
are so evil and so devious that he is justified in throwing off the legal constraints that might have bound previous presidents -- including such important constraints as the ban on warrantless eavesdropping contained in the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance
Act.
If a president thinks a law should be changed, he can
go to the American people via Congress and seek such
a change. This president gave the back of his hand to
FISA, deciding in secret to ignore it.
In doing that, Bush essentially declared that the
checks and balances do not apply to him, that he is
above the law, that he knows better than the likes of
Madison, Jefferson, Hamilton et al.
In doing that, he aligned himself instead with
Richard Nixon, who had his own notion of the separation of powers. That notion was best expressed in
Nixon's chilling comment:
"When the president does it, that means that it is not
illegal."

Bush to announce plans today Warriors can’t take the
Heat, Wade and O’Neal
Lendale White
announces exit
Wednesday,
Heisman winner
next to declare
By JANIE McCAULEY
The Associated Press
By JOHN NADEL
LOS ANGELES (AP) —
Heisman Trophy winner
Reggie Bush will announce
Thursday whether he’ll return
to Southern California for his
senior season or enter the NFL
draft.
He has kept a low profile
since USC lost to Texas 41-38
for the national championship
in the Rose Bowl game Jan. 4.
Underclassmen have until
Sunday to apply for the April
29-30 draft.
Bush is to make his
announcement in the morning
on campus. He has been projected for months as the No. 1
overall pick, and it will be surprising if he returns to the
Trojans.
Texas quarterback Vince
Young inserted himself into
the mix Sunday, declaring for
the draft four days after his
amazing performance in the
Rose Bowl.
After winning his Heisman
in 2004, USC’s Matt Leinart
decided to return to school for
his final year of eligibility
although he almost surely
would have been one of the
top players in the draft.
But as a quarterback,
Leinart was in a far different
situation. Running backs are
such a target, with even the
best at risk every time they
carry the ball. On average,
standout running backs have
far shorter professional
careers than top quarterbacks.
If Bush does decide to
return to school, he could join
Ohio State running back
Archie Griffin as the only
ANG newspapers
USC running back Reggie Bush is the likely No. 1
draft pick in April’s NFL Draft.
two-time winners of the
Heisman. Griffin won the
award in 1974-75.
Fellow USC tailback
LenDale White, “Thunder,” to
Bush’s
nickname,
“Lightning,” said he would
skip his senior season and
make himself eligible for the
NFL draft Thursday at a press
conference in his hometown
of Denver.
White said the decision was
difficult. “I wouldn’t say it
was a slam dunk” to leave
USC, he said.
The 6-foot-2, 235-pound
junior leaves USC as the
school’s career leader with 57
touchdowns. He had 541 carries for 3,159 yards in three
seasons, during which the
Trojans won two national
championships.
He scored three touchdowns in USC’s 41-38 Rose
Bowl loss to Texas last week.
White said he consulted
with his cousin, former
Colorado
point
guard
Chauncey Billups, now in the
NBA. White said Billups told
him to “go with your heart.”
Billups spent two years in
college before leaving school
for the NBA.
Bush offered his teammate
the same advice.
Bush rushed for 3,169
yards and White 3,159, helping the Trojans go 37-2 the
past three seasons.
The two combined for 99
career touchdowns, breaking
the NCAA record of 97 set by
Army’s Glenn Davis and
Felix “Doc” Blanchard from
1943-46.
USC had won 34 straight
games before losing to Texas.
The Houston Texans, who
own the No. 1 pick in the
draft, have backed away from
previous comments Bush
would be No. 1 after feeling
pressure from fans to select
Texas star and Houston native
Young.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP)
— Dwyane Wade had 32
points, 11 assists and five
rebounds and the Miami Heat
won their fourth straight
against the Golden State
Warriors,
110-96
on
Wednesday night.
Shaquille O’Neal bounced
back from two subpar games
to finish with 21 points and
10 rebounds for the Heat,
who won easily despite
shooting only 8-of-19 from
the free throw line — 1-for11 by O’Neal.
Antoine Walker added 19
points and five assists off the
bench and Gary Payton had
13 points, seven rebounds
and six assists in the Heat’s
fourth game of their seasonlong seven-game road trip.
Miami goes to Seattle, Utah
and Los Angeles to play the
Lakers before heading home.
The
cold-shooting
Warriors lost their third
straight playing for the first
time since last Thursday’s
99-89 home loss to the
Indiana Pacers. Golden State
got hammered on the boards
by the bigger Heat players.
Baron Davis had 26 points
and six assists for the
Warriors, making one of his
most powerful dunks of the
season in the first quarter.
Davis drove to the left side,
then switched the ball to his
right hand for a strong onehanded jam.
Mike Dunleavy added 21
points and Troy Murphy had
10 rebounds and didn’t seem
to be slowed by his tender
left ankle. Murphy, Golden
State’s top rebounder and
third-leading scorer, sprained
his ankle with 4:11 left in the
third
period
of
last
Thursday’s loss to Indiana
and didn’t return.
After Murphy made two
free throws to pull the
Warriors within 65-60 with
5:50 left in the third quarter,
Miami answered with an 8-0
spurt and led comfortably the
rest of the way.
O’Neal was coming off
two poor games — eight
points at Phoenix last Friday
and 12 at Portland on
Sunday. He gave Warriors
rookie Ike Diogu a lesson on
inside play, dunking hard on
consecutive possessions in
the third quarter.
Golden State used four
different centers against
Shaq: Diogu, Adonal Foyle,
Andris Biedrins and Chris
Taft. Shaq, who came in having averaged 31 points and
12 rebounds in his previous
10 games at Golden State,
outscored them 21-10.
The Warriors showed
some rust from their long layoff and struggled to make
open shots. The teams were
tied at 26 after the opening
quarter, but Golden State
missed 10 of its first 15 shots
in the second period and
trailed by as many as 11. The
Heat led 53-43 at halftime
and held a 27-18 rebounding
edge.
Miami is still trying to
become more consistent.
“I think we’re a long ways
away and I think they’d be
the first ones to admit it,”
said Heat coach Pat Riley.,

Mendocino can’t handle late surge by Marin
By TONY ADAME
The Daily Journal
After a short jumper by
Misty Foster put Mendocino
College up 50-41 with six minutes and 11 seconds left in
Wednesday’s game against the
College of marin, everything
seemed to be going fine for the
Eagles.
Head coach Stan Weiper’s
implementation of the platoon
system had worked fine.

six minutes and 11 seconds left.
Everything was fine.
Six minutes, 11 seconds, and
one 14-0 game-winning run by
Marin later, everything was far
from fine.
In fact, it was downright
awful.
“It was there, we just couldn’t finish it,” said Foster after
the Eagles 55-50 home loss.
“We couldn’t hang on. I’m
upset, we were so close.”
In the first half, behind
McMullen’s
hot
hand,
Mendocino led by as much as
10 points, going up 30-20 on a
McMullen layup with just over
five minutes left to play. Marin
was able to cut into the lead,
but not much, with Mendocino
going into halftime 32-25.
In the second half, Marin
was a different team, taking the
lead for the first time on a Sara
McEvoy three-pointer with 11
minutes to play.
But Mendocino battled back
on the weight of back-to-back
baskets by Tamara Daniels
first, then Foster, to go up 5041.
“We weren’t scoring, but we
were playing pretty good
defense,” said Marin head
coach Wesley Ng. “I took at
timeout because I thought we
were tired and it made a difference. We were able to come
back and pressure them into
making some mistakes.”
Another bucket by McEvoy
brought Marin back to within
50-48, and a three-pointer by
Ashley Lum with one minute,
30 seconds left gave Marin the
lead.
“I was missing some open
shots in the first half,” said
Lum, who led all scorers with
16 points. “We’ve got a lot of
players injured right now and
the other team played good

If someone would have
told Mendocino head coach
Kevin Koch three weeks ago
that his team would be in the
midst of a three-game winning streak, well, he would
have told them it was going to
take some work.
“I thought if we could get
rid of some of the egos, we
could do it,” Koch said. “But
we have to bring our lunchpail and be gritty. That’s how
we can win.”
And win they did.
Behind Freshmen Jared
Giammona (24 points) and
Steven Polanco (19 points)
and an all-around team effort,
Mendocino engineered a second half, come-from-behind,
88-82 win over College of
Marin Wedesday in Ukiah to
improve to 2-1 in Bay Valley
Conference play.
The Eagles trailed by as
much as 11 points late in the
second half.
“We just had to find a
way,” said Giammona, who
scored 22 points in the second
half. “I was concentrating on
playing defense. We’ve come
together as a team, opened up
to each other. I think it
shows.”
Giammona’s three-pointer
with 40 seconds left gave
Mendocino its final lead of
the game, 88-82.
Point guard Joe Guastella
added
18
points
for
Mendocino, and freshman
Marcus Hansen added nine
points.
“It’s energy when you’re
coming back like that,” said
Eagle center Ben Novak. “I
think the big difference was in
the first half we were giving
them second chances, in the
second half we stopped doing
that on the boards.”
Koch saw the improvement in his team after coming
back from Christmas break.
“After we came back from
break there was a significant
change in attitude,” Koch
said. “You could tell we were
going to be okay.”
Mendocino returns to
action Friday at Yuba.

Struggling Rockets fall to Kings
By CHRIS DUNCAN
HOUSTON (AP) — The struggling
Sacramento Kings caught the Houston
Rockets at the perfect time.
Mike Bibby and Corliss Williamson
scored 19 points apiece and the Kings
beat the short-handed Rockets 88-80
Wednesday night.
For the second straight night, the
Rockets had six players out with
injuries, including stars Tracy McGrady
and Yao Ming. McGrady’s bad back
will be re-evaluated on Friday and Yao
is out at least three more weeks after toe
surgery.
Not only did the Rockets have just
nine healthy players, they were coming
off a double-overtime loss in Charlotte
on Tuesday.
“We definitely caught a break after
they had such a hard game last night,”
said Sacramento coach Rick Adelman.
“It wasn’t pretty, but I’ll take it.”
The Kings have their own mounting
injury issues. They were already missing Bonzi Wells (groin) and Shareef
Abdur-Rahim (fractured jaw) and
played without Brian Skinner, who has
the flu. Peja Stojakovic then left
Wednesday’s game in the third quarter
after re-aggravating a protruding disc in
his back. Adelman hopes he’ll be back
for Friday’s game against the Hornets.
The results of the injuries were predictable — the Kings shot 42 percent
(28 of 66), went 5-of-15 from 3-point
range (33 percent) and got outrebounded 53-43.
But that was still good enough to
beat the Rockets, who’ve lost four in a
row and 11 of their last 14 home games.
“That’s something we haven’t found
a way to do this year — win ugly
games,” said Williamson. “This was an
ugly one, but it was a good one.”
Juwan Howard had 24 points and 15
rebounds and Dikembe Mutombo had a
season-high 18 rebounds for the
Rockets. While those two held their
own down low, Houston’s guards were
awful on the perimeter, going 3-for-20
from 3-point range.
“It’s mind-boggling,” said Rockets
coach Jeff Van Gundy. “I don’t care
how hard you play, if you don’t shoot
the ball competently, you’re going to
have a hard time.”
Even with the injuries and a poor
shooting night (40 percent), the Rockets
trailed only 79-74 after little-used guard
Moochie Norris hit a deep jumper with
3:55 left.
Sacramento’s Francisco Garcia
answered with a 3-pointer from the corner a minute later, but the Rockets had
several more chances to draw closer
down the stretch.
Luther Head and Norris missed 3pointers in the final minute, and Jason
Hart sank two free throws to put the
Kings up 84-77 with 40.6 seconds left.
“We can’t make any excuses,”
Howard said. “We had every chance
possible to win this game. But sure
enough, we did not close it out.”
The Rockets didn’t start so great,
either, missing 15 of their first 21 shots.
The Kings led 18-13 after the first
quarter, then broke a 23-23 tie with an
11-3 run. Sacramento led 43-36 at halftime, then opened the second half with
an 11-6 spurt.
The Rockets missed 14 of their first
15 shots from 3-point range, but stayed
in the game by grabbing 15 offensive
rebounds in the first three quarters.
SANTA ROSA – Piner
defeated Ukiah in North Bay
League girls basketball
action Tuesday, 33-26.
“It was one of those nights
where nothing would go in
for us,” said Ukiah head
coach Bill Brunemeyer.
“People were missing onefooters. We just weren’t
meant to win this game.”
Ukiah trailed 31-18 heading into the fourth quarter and
went on an 8-0 run to cut the
lead to 31-26, but couldn’t
complete the comeback.
Rachel Gates led Piner in
scoring with 19 points,
including three straight threepointers in the third quarter.
Wildcat guards shot a
combined 4-for-27 from the
field against Piner and
Francesca Teeters led Ukiah
in scoring with 13 points to
go with six rebounds.
“(Teeters) played a solid
fourth quarter,” Brunemeyer
said.
It was Ukiah’s first NBL
loss of the season, dropping
the Wildcats reacord to 2-1 in

Raiders to interview
Chiefs’ Saunders
By JANIE McCAULEY
ALAMEDA (AP) — The
Oakland Raiders will interview their first candidate to
replace fired coach Norv
Turner when they meet with
Kansas City Chiefs offensive
coordinator Al Saunders on
Thursday.
Saunders was scheduled to
arrive in the Bay Area on
Wednesday night and meet
with team officials Thursday.
Owner Al Davis vowed to
take his time finding a
replacement for Turner, fired
last week on the heels of two
straight losing seasons in
which Oakland only won one
game against the AFC West.
Saunders was interviewed
by Chiefs president Carl
Peterson to replace Dick
Vermeil, who retired after the
season. But the Chiefs instead
hired departed New York Jets’
coach Herman Edwards.
Saunders could receive
interviews with other clubs as
well. He seems like a good fit
in Davis’ franchise, which has
flopped with three straight
losing seasons since reaching
the 2003 Super Bowl and
falling to Tampa Bay.
He’s also just the kind of
offensive-minded
coach
Davis prefers — and has
experience as an NFL head
coach and ties to Northern
California. Saunders was an
All-American defensive back

Indianapolis quarterback Peyton Manning is a two-time NFL MVP but has yet to make it to the Super Bowl.
Manning bristles at playoff questions
By MICHAEL MAROT
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Peyton
Manning can’t escape the inevitable
playoff questions.
Will his legacy be determined by
postseason successes or failures? Why
hasn’t he already taken the Indianapolis
Colts to the Super Bowl? What makes
this year different?
The two-time MVP probably has a
better chance of outrunning Dwight
Freeney than dodging the one topic that
makes him squirm each January.
“I’m not into defining a career in the
middle of a career,” Manning said
Wednesday. “I hope to play for a number of more years, and I’m not really
one to reflect on my first eight years or
what happens in years nine or 10. I’m
excited about the opportunity we have.”
Starting with Sunday’s divisional
round game against Pittsburgh,
Manning will have another chance to
answer his critics.
For the first time in Manning’s
career, the Colts (14-2) have the AFC’s
top seed — meaning one of the league’s
fastest teams will play every playoff
inside a dome and not have to endure
the wind, snow, ice or rain until next
season. They set a franchise record for
wins, exorcising the demons of losing
six straight to New England and nine in
a row to the Steelers.
They have a defense that allowed the
fewest points in the AFC, and they’re
facing a Steelers team that they steamrolled 26-7 in November.
But the lingering question is: Can
Manning win a Super Bowl?
“I think that is probably how he’ll be
judged in the short run,” coach Tony
Dungy said. “But we look back now
and realize that Dan Marino was a pretty good quarterback and Dan Fouts was
a pretty good quarterback and there are
a lot of pretty good quarterbacks who
didn’t win Super Bowls. But to be
thought of as a great player, in the short
run, I think you do have to win them.”
At age 29, Manning has already
achieved more than most players do in
an entire career.
He resuscitated a Colts franchise that
lost 13 games in both 1997 and 1998,
has given the Colts a national identity
and turned them into a perennial Super
Bowl contender. He’s broken Marino’s
single-season touchdown record and
never missed a start. He holds the NFL
record for most consecutive 4,000-yard
seasons (six) and has won more games
(77) since 1999 than any other quarterback.
Yet his inability to win “the big one”
— or even get there — is the one glaring omission from an otherwise impeccable resume.
“Hopefully, he’ll win two or three of
them before he’s done,” Dungy said. “I
remember a time when we didn’t think
John Elway or Brett Favre were very
good because they didn’t win one. But I
don’t think Peyton needs a Super Bowl
to judge him as a good quarterback.”
Whatever the critics say, there’s little
doubt Manning has leaguewide respect.
Opposing coaches often praise
Manning for his diligence and his
uncanny ability to dissect defenses.
And Pittsburgh coach Bill Cowher
figures Manning’s 3-5 postseason
record will eventually improve —
although he would rather it not start this
week.
“You can take away the run, if you
want to, but then if you do that, Peyton
will throw for 300 or 400 yards,”
Cowher said.
Manning acknowledges there have
been disappointments.
In the Colts last two playoff losses,
both at New England, Manning threw
five interceptions and only one touchdown. There was the home loss to
Tennessee in January 2000, the overtime loss at Miami 11 months later and
the shutout in New York in 2003.
Mendocino
tonight. We just played better.”
A pair of free throws by
Venesse Haynes put Marin up
53-50, and another two free
throws by Lum sealed the
game.
“We can’t seem to put two
halves together,” Weiper said.
“I tried to platoon, but as the
game wore on it started to
fray. Mikala Knoll got her
fourth foul just like that in the
second half and I had to go
away from it. But there’s just
no excuse for it. I’m beside
myself.”
at San Jose State and also
attended Stanford. He served
as an assistant head coach,
quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator at California
from 1976-81.
Saunders finished his fifth
season as Chiefs offensive
coordinator and 15th overall
with the organization. He
coached the wide receivers
under Marty Schottenheimer
from 1989-98, when the
Chiefs won three division
titles and made seven trips to
the playoffs. Before that,
Saunders coached the San
Diego Chargers from the
halfway mark of the 1986 season through ’88, and the
Chargers’ 8-7 finish in ’87
was the team’s first winning
season in five years.
Outspoken Raiders safety
Jarrod Cooper knows one
thing: He wants more discipline from the next coach.
Cooper, who has been
camping and fishing in South
Carolina and just learned of
Turner’s firing two days ago,
said players showed up late
for team meetings and other
scheduling issues surfaced at
times under Turner.
“Sometimes Norv was a little lenient on some things,”
Cooper said in a phone interview Wednesday. “Discipline,
as much as some people don’t
like it, sometimes you need it.
Being late for meetings, sticking to itinerary is key.”
McMullen led Mendocino
with 14 points. Daniels added
11 points and Foster scored 10
points.
Mendocino returns to
action Friday at Yuba College.

Answer: What the pilot became when he bought a
farm — “GROUNDED”
Married men should be careful spending time with female friends
Dear Annie: My husband and I are friends
with a couple I’ll call “Rusty and Cathy.” We
like their company, but we have very few of the
same interests. The problem is, they believe
that if a husband and wife do not share the
same interests, it is OK for the husband to
spend time with other women who do.
I believe this is setting the stage for these
relationships to become full-blown affairs.
Cathy says if you love someone, you should
trust them, and she has no problem with Rusty
seeing movies, plays, concerts, etc., with other
women. This situation has really made our
friendship stressful. I don’t like seeing Rusty
with women other than his wife, but I was willing to mind my own business until he suggested my husband should do the same when I am
out of town or working.
Our other friends believe I am overreacting.
My husband, by the way, agrees with me that
these outside relationships are dangerous. Am I
way off base on this? -- Hoping I’m Right in
the Midwest
ANNIE’S MAILBOX
By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
Dear Hoping: What kind of “interests” does
Rusty have that he can’t enjoy them with either
his wife or his male friends? It’s OK if Rusty
has an extra ticket to a play and the only person
available to go with him is a female friend, or
if he’s a member of a choir or volunteer organization that Cathy isn’t interested in. But if he
makes a regular habit of attending events with
women other than his wife, yes, he is more vulnerable to an affair. We hope his wife’s trust is
not misplaced.
Dear Annie: I’m a 53-year-old man, living
with a slightly younger woman. We both have
grown children. I love “Bonnie,” and we have
discussed marriage. However, since we both
have been married and divorced twice, “until

death do us part” doesn’t hold much water.
I feel that a pre-nup agreement is prudent,
but Bonnie says it means that I don’t trust her.
I do trust her, but I have more assets now than
when I was first married, and I want to protect
my two sons’ interests. Am I out of line? -Working Guy
Dear Working Guy: A pre-nup between
people who each have children from previous
marriages is not only prudent but necessary.
Surely, Bonnie wants her children protected as
well, and a pre-nup will see to that. No, it isn’t
romantic, but it is practical, and if Bonnie truly
loves you, she will discuss it with an attorney.
Dear Annie: I, too, am a rather unwilling
Army wife. My husband, a lawyer, sent in his
application packet to the Army Reserve on
Sept. 11, 2001. By the time he returns from
Iraq, he will have been gone for 18 months of
our five-year marriage.
Every time I start thinking, “I didn’t sign up
for this,” I remind myself of the wives and children of previous wars. During WWII, my
grandfather was gone for three years. I am for-
tunate enough to talk to my husband nearly
every day and have e-mail contact the rest of
the time.
I wear a “Support Our Troops” bracelet and
a yellow ribbon, and fly an American Flag and
a Service Flag at our house. I have a bumper
sticker that reads “Half My Heart is in Iraq.”
The Army Reserve has a wonderful family
support system, and my husband’s employer
makes up the difference in his salary. The
Soldiers and Sailors Relief Act helps with a
multitude of financial concerns. Our neighbors
have been wonderful, and my church has been
there for me.
Men with a service history nearly always
want to jump back into the fray. “North
Carolina’s” husband should have discussed his
decision with her, but right now her support is
vital. -- A Proud Army Wife in Alabama
Dear Proud Wife: Regardless of how a
husband or wife feels about the spouse enlisting, you are right that it is important to be as
supportive as possible once the deed is done.
Thanks for saying so.

Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.
IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor
of the deceased, you must file your claim with the court
and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed
by the court within four months from the date of first
issuance of letters as provided in section 9100 of the
California Probate Code.The time for filing claims will
not expire before four months from the hearing date
noticed above.
YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you

worked for three days to pump
out the water and remove
debris from the Baker Creek
watershed by hand, “using
chainsaws and manpower,”
said Tom Hession, Redwood
Valley/Cal-pella fire chief.
Inorganic debris was
hauled away by local waste
management, organic debris
was left behind to be hauled or
burned at the property owners’ discretion.
Hession said Gregg Smith,
acting emergency coordinator
for the Office of Emergency
Services, was particularly
helpful in the cleanup.
“It was through his organization that we were able to get
the resources we needed,”
Hession said.
The North Coast Railway
Authority, which owns the
tracks, removed the 150 feet
of track left hanging after the
dirt slid out from under it, in
order to protect workers on
the ground.
Water was pumped over the
blockage and into the creek
bed on the opposite side.
Firefighters managed to pump
out approximately 3 million
gallons over three days, dug a
new creek bed through the
slide and put out siphon lines
to help drain the water.
Hession said that, though
the water has been lowered, 2
horses and their beleaguered
guardians.
“When we found out (the
hearing) was postponed, the
wind got knocked out of our
sails,” McFadden said. “The
volunteer network is getting
burned out. Everyone’s running out of time and money.
We need to get back to our
lives -- we have our own horses and families to care for.”
The county may be forced
to pay for the horses’ feed,
cleaning supplies and other
necessities, McFadden said.
A private attorney contracted by county counsel will
administer and rule in the
hearing. District Attorney
Norm Vroman’s office is
investigating the case to
potentially take DeNoyer to
trial, but no charges have been
filed.
DeNoyer did not return
phone calls.
The horses are responding
well to the attention and food,
McFadden said. After days of
trimming hair and cleaning
wounds, she said, many of the
horses are putting on weight.
The first few days after the
seizure
were
chaotic,
McFadden recalled, adding
that the New Year’s storm
quickly followed.
“Trying to get all these
horses dry and organized,”

other way to respond is to file
a demurrer, which is a
response that basically says
that even if everything you
allege is true, you have not
stated a cause of action,”
Hartsell said.
In the claim, Rainbow
alleges, among other things,
that the school district committed a breach of contract.
According to the claim,
“the plans and specifications
for the project which were
prepared by the project architect, who is an agent of the
district, were negligently and
carelessly prepared and were
defective in that numerous
details required to adequately
and properly construct the
project were either (1) not set
forth in the plans and specifications, (2) were improperly
set forth in the plans and specifications and various pages of
the drawings contained details
that did not match details on
other pages of the drawings
which they were required to
match and there were so many
of those and other defects in
the plans and specifications
that the project could not be
built using these plans and
specifications.
“Furthermore, when the
defects were discovered during the course of construction
and requests for information
and change orders were submitted reflecting the defects
and proposed solutions to the
Tyler Stoffel/The Daily Journal
Mudslides pulled the ground from beneath 150 feet of railroad track near Baker
Creek, leaving the track suspended precariously over a new ravine.
Representatives of the North Coast Railway Authority removed the tracks while
Redwood Valley firefighters and crews from the CDF cleared away debris over the
weekend.
Rust, erosion and heavy rains
caused the water to back up in
the culvert and the fill-dirt to
slide.
Hession said the fire
department has finished its
part at Baker Creek and now
it’s up to the NCRA to restore
Baker Creek to its original
state.

million gallons still remain
backed up behind the slide.
Tuesday night’s rain alone
raised the water level by a
foot.
“If we get another storm
with two to three inches of
rain we would evacuate the
homes down the creek,” he
said.
Hession said homeowners
on Renfro Lane have been
notified of the risk and CDF
geologists remain on site to
monitor the slide and the
water level.
When the railroad tracks
were laid in the 1920s, 20,000
cubic yards of fill dirt were
laid down to span the gap at
McGee Canyon. Pieces of
four foot steam-pipe were
used as a culvert to guide
Baker Creek under the fill.

defects, the district, its constructing manager, and its
architects and agents took an
unreasonable amount of time
to answer the requests for
information and approve those
change orders or to propose
alternative solutions,” the
claim states.
“The process involved over
600 requests for information
and 280 change order
requests, or more than one per
day during the course of construction. The parties soon
realized that the errors and
resulting requests for information and change orders were
so great in number and continuously affected so many parts
of the project that it was not
practicable or possible to predict the ultimate length of
time it would take to correct
the problems,” the claim
states.
Therefore, the parties
agreed that during the project
Rainbow would only submit
change orders related to the
cost of materials, labor and
equipment directly related to
fixing the specific issue at
hand and would submit its
delay damage claims at the
end of the project. At the conclusion of the project,
Rainbow submitted a contract
claim with explanations of
those delays, but negotiations
did not resolve the matter,
according to the claim.
Additionally, the lawsuit
alleges the district has wrongfully withheld payments due
Rainbow and that the district
has converted to its own use
money Rainbow and its sub-
contractors are entitled to
under the terms of the contract. Lastly, the action against
the district demands mediation or arbitration.
Rainbow is asking for
damages for breach of contract in an amount in excess of
$25,000; damages for conversion in an amount in excess of
$25,000, and for the costs of
attorney’s fees, according to
the lawsuit.
Supporters of the school
district have said Rainbow has
a long history of underbidding
and running cost overruns,
and that every project
Rainbow has worked on for
the district has been over budget and past the due date.
Rainbow denied the allegations.
According to the California
Contractors State License
Board, Rainbow Construction
Company’s license is currently under suspension, apparent-
ly because the company does
not have a contractor’s bond
at this time. Before an active
contractor’s license can be
issued or renewed, or an inactive license made active, the
licensee must have a current
contractor’s bond.

‘When we found out (the
hearing) was postponed,
the wind got knocked
out of our sails.’
RONI McFADDEN, volunteer leader
McFadden said, “was not
easy.” Three young ones once
shared a narrow stall for lack
of space, but the horses are
quite comfortable -- so long as
the volunteer network can
sustain its efforts.
Animal Control Officer
Susan Bottom and her assistant, Mandi Liberty, led the
raid Dec. 27, which seized 22
of the horses. Two days later,
a second rescue rounded up
the other 13. One mare was
found dead in the mud.
Officials say a load of
decayed hay left to rot on the
back of a flatbed truck may
have been the horses’ only
food.
The rescued horses volunteer network asks anyone with
horse or animal experience to
help out by calling 459-4359.
Those wishing to donate supplies or cash can call
McFadden at 459-3131.
