BACK-TO-SCHOOL SHOPPING LIST:
Electronics, books, apparel
By LAURA MCCUTCHEON
The Daily Journal
While electronics are reportedly the biggest expense overall
in college spending across the
United States, books are big
money at the junior college
level, and apparel and school
supplies top the list at the K
through 12th grade level.
The fourth annual National
Retail Federation 2006 Backto-College Consumer Intentions
and Actions Survey, conducted
by BIGresearch, found that college students and their parents
will spend $36.6 billion returning to campus this year, up 6.3
percent and more than double
what parents of K-12 students
will spend on back-to-school.
College students are expected to spend 27.5 percent more
on electronics purchases as the
category expands to include flat
screen TVs, XBoxes, iPods and
notebook computers. Clothing
and accessories sales (at the
college level) at $5.78 billion,
are expected to be flat, though
shoe sales will see an impressive 13 percent increase to
$2.26 billion, according to the
NRF.
Two categories, school supplies (down 14 percent to $2.55
billion) and textbooks (down
1.8 percent to $11.6 billion) will
see decreases in spending,
according to the survey.
At least some Mendocino
College students beg to differ,
however, as the cost of books is
the biggest drain on their pocketbooks.

11th annual
SolFest to aim
for solutions
The Daily Journal
Concerned with rising gas prices and
dwindling fuel supplies, more than 10,000
people from throughout Northern California
and around the world will descend on the
Mendocino County hamlet of Hopland
Saturday and Sunday for SolFest. For two
days, Hopland will be transformed from a
sleepy wine-country village into the bustling
solar capital of the world.
The Solar Living Institute is hosting the
11th annual SolFest celebration at its 12-acre
solar-powered oasis. Leading experts in all
things sustainable, green and organic will be
on hand speaking and teaching; over 150
exhibitors will be showcasing the latest in

Pot garden investigation leads to INS arrests
By BEN BROWN
The Daily Journal
Three men have been arrested by
Immigration and Naturalization Services in
connection with the investigation by the
Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office of illegal
marijuana gardens in the area of the Big Bend
Ranch in Round Valley.
Rafael Alexander Nunes, 27, and Airton
Costa Jr., 41, both of Covelo, and Edgar
Quinillo, 18, of San Rafael, were arrested on

suspicion of cultivating marijuana with intent
to sell and entering the United States illegally.
The three were arrested after search warrants were served in the 7600 block of
Henderson Lane and the 22000 block of Refuse
Road in Covelo, and the Big Bend Ranch in
Round Valley.
Sheriff’s deputies eradicated 4,000 marijuana plants from the Big Bend Ranch garden and
an additional 500 from the fields on Henderson
Lane and Refuse Road.
MCSO Capt. Kurt Smallcomb said the
Sheriff’s Office has been working with the INS
since the shooting deaths of Ivan Tillotson, 28,
and Robert Cory Want, 28, both of Covelo,
who were killed on Murphy Ridge Road June
17.
Their bodies were found near a 5,000-plant
marijuana garden, and one of the men arrested
on suspicion of cultivating that garden, Jose

Nearly 20,000 visitors enjoyed the fourday Redwood Empire Fair, in Ukiah this past
weekend, topping both attendance and revenue figures for the past several years, as the
fair celebrated its 70th anniversary in Ukiah.
Thursday’s boost of more than 56 percent
gate admissions and 20 percent in revenue
can be partially attributed to the appearance
of the Lipizzaner Stallions, according to
Jennifer Seward, CEO. However, she says
“We continued to see increases of 8 percent,
23 percent and 14 percent in attendance over
the next two days, which we believe is the
renewed interest by the community in the
fair, beautiful weather, and the fact that families can bring their children to a safe, clean
environment for a reasonable price.”
Revenue by concessionaires doubled, and
the carnival operator reported an increase in
revenue of 36 percent this year, as well.

The turtles are made of plastic, and the
event is a fund-raiser for the Boys and Girls
Club.
“We will adopt, or sponsor out, 5,000 turtles for $5 each,” B&G Club Administrative
Assistant Liz Elmore said, noting that when
people adopt a turtle they have the chance of
winning several prizes, from a microwave
oven to a World Gym membership, to a new
car from Ken Fowler Auto Center, and more.

from speaking out.
The board could not vote
on recommendations made by
the
Mendocino
County
Tobacco Settlement Advisory
Committee (MCTSAC) disbursing more than $500,000
to 24 applicant groups due to
omissions in the item’s agenda title, however 18 people
addressed the board, most
urging that the Boys & Girls
Club of Willits receive
enough money to complete
construction of its Youth
Recreation Center.
The Boys & Girls Club
requested $500,000 of the
approximately $920,000 the
county receives annually from
the settlement, but the MCTSAC suggested it be given
$133,575.
According
to
Karen
Oslund, a Willits City
Councilmember and founding
board member of the Boys &
Girls Club in Willits, more
than $1 million has already
been raised in grants and
matching funds to build the
12,800 square-foot building,
including gymnasium, but
another $500,000 is needed to
meet construction costs.
“Altogether, $950,000 of
the funding now in place goes
away if the youth center is not
built and open for business in
34 months,” Oslund said,
explaining conditions of the
grants and matching funds.
A number in the audience - dotted with children wearing
Boys & Girls Club T-shirts -urged the board to consider
giving the entire requested
amount to fulfill promises
made years before when the
county began allocating settlement money to fund large
projects.
Previous rounds of allocations have seen $1 million go
to
the
Ukiah
Valley
Recreation Center and $1 million to the Fort Bragg Aquatic
Center.

Guilty
In return for their pleas,
which included an agreement
to check in with the
Mendocino County Probation
Department weekly,
the
District Attorney’s Office
dropped all other charges and
special allegations against
Hoefer and Hill.
Hoefer and Hill have both
agreed to testify for the prosecution in the case against
Mendoza if subpoenaed
In support of the guilty
pleas,
Deputy
District
Attorney Brian Newman read
into the record statements
made by Hoefer and Hill to
the
Mendocino
County
Sheriff’s Office and the
District Attorney’s Office.
In those statements, Hoefer
and Hill said that Hill went to
the parking lot of the
Happiness Is club to fight
with Garcia at the urging of
Hoefer. Mendoza was with
them and, at some point,
stepped in and stabbed
Garcia, they said.
After the stabbing, Hill fled
the parking lot on foot and
Jewelry

City Manager Gordon Logan,
even addressed the board.
“My dad was promised by
the county they could have the
next capital funding after
Ukiah and Fort Bragg were
paid down,” Tara said standing beside the podium that she
could not see over. “Now my
dad is dead and you need to
keep your promise. Please
keep your word so we can
have our building.”
Supervisor
Jim
Wattenburger agreed that
three of the county’s five districts had not received their
fair amount of funding, but
emphasized the need for the
board to try to stick to recommendations made by the
MCTSAC.
Chairman of MCTSAC Jim
Levine also advocated for the
board to seriously consider
the recommendations that
stemmed from “thousands of
volunteer hours.”
“There are people in the
county that have applied for
this funding that didn’t know
they could come before the
Board of Supervisors and ask
for MCTSAC recommendations to be overturned,”
Levine said.
James Connerton, a member of the City of Ukiah Paths,
Open Space and Creeks
Commission which applied
for grant money but received
no
recommendations,
addressed the board but asked
that MCTSAC suggestions be
honored.
The commission had
applied for $25,000 to construct a trail on the Western
hillside connecting Low Gap
Park and city of Ukiah land
west of the golf course.
Connerton said that the project would have considerable
public interest, but supported
the process MCTSAC used to
allocate the funds.
The board, which has final
say regarding grantees and
grant amounts, said it would
continue the discussion at its
Aug. 29 meeting.

Hoefer fled in her car, striking
Garcia on her way out. When
Hoefer
contacted
the
California Highway Patrol
after the incident, she gave a
false statement, telling officers she had been involved in
a hit-and-run.
Newman said the autopsy
revealed that Garcia died of
his stab wounds and did not
sustain significant injury from
being struck by Hoefer’s car.
Both Hoefer and Hill
entered open pleas, which
meant they could be ordered
to serve the maximum sentence for their crimes.
Hoefer faces a maximum
sentence of four years and
eight months in state prison
and could be ordered to pay
restitution of up to $15,000.
Hill could face a maximum of
four years in state prison and
be ordered to pay restitution
up to $10,000.
Attorneys for Hoefer and
Hill asked that sentencing be
delayed until Mendoza’s trial
is complete. Alternate Public
Defender Linda Thompson,
who represents Mendoza, said
she does not expect the trial to
take place this year.

Advance sale of wristbands
for unlimited carnival rides
grew by 70 percent. Butler
Amusements offered a discount on wristbands purchased in advance for every
day of the fair, rather than just
one day.
Sales at the Jr. Livestock
Auction also reached a record
high. Total gross sales at the
auction were $415,743 for
273 lots, compared to
$365,503 in 2005 for 282 lots.
The Grand Champion steer
was purchased by Duran
Construction for $4/lb., the
hog by Thurston’s for $26/lb.,
the lamb by Safeway for
$24/lb., the goat by Savings
Bank for $11/lb., the rabbit
meat pen by Raley’s for
$1,000 and the poultry meat
pen by Thurston’s for $750.
Several hogs were purchased

Judge rules that 23
suspects in foiled
bombing plot may
be kept in custody
LONDON (AP) — A district judge ruled Wednesday
that British investigators have
until next week to investigate
the suspects arrested in an
alleged plot to blow up as
many as 10 trans-Atlantic jetliners, saying they could be
kept in custody without charge.
It was the first major test of
a new terrorism law that lets
suspects be held for as long as
28 days without charge so
investigators can solidify their
cases.
The
hearing,
which
addressed the cases of 23 suspects arrested in Britain’s initial sweep last week, was held
behind closed doors and
attended only by the suspects’
lawyers, investigators and government officials.
Scotland Yard said that 21

national.
Smallcomb
said
the
Sheriff’s Office did not know
if the people managing the
Round Valley marijuana garden were the same people
managing the garden found
near the bodies of Tillotson
and Want, but said there were
similarities.
“The growing patterns
were consistent,” Smallcomb
said.
Both cases remain under
investigation by the Sheriff’s
Office, and Smallcomb said
he anticipates additional
arrests.

the fair, there were several
contests held during the fair.
Dawn Seften, president of
the Ukiah Civic Light Opera
which held its annual Ukiah
Idol competition at the fair,
was thrilled with the response.
The UCLO first worked with
the fair in 2005 providing
entertainment on Seniors Day.
“We want to come back – it
was a great experience for
us,” she said. The Little Idol
winner was Adriana Fernande,
Junior Idol winner was Olivia
Poklkinghorne, and the title of
Ukiah Idol went to Brooke
Ingram, who also was high
point vocalist. Ingram can
now go on to compete in the
Gold Country Star Finals at
the Gold Country Fair in
Auburn against winners from
several
other
northern
California fairs.
In other competition held
during the fair, seven infants
participated in the Pardini
Diaper Derby, with Noah
Penry winning a washing
machine for his parents,
Brandon and Lorina of Potter
Valley.
Fifteen pies and cakes were
entered in the Favorite
Birthday Pie and Favorite
Birthday Cake contests.
Judges Bob Demple, fair
director, Jim Brown, livestock
supervisor, and Paul Thomas,
KXBX-FM, awarded Briana
Garroutte first place juniors,
for her Puddin’ Pie, and
Kathleen Miller, first place
adults, for her Coconut
Lemon Meringue Pie. Judges
Roger Choate, fair board president, and candidates for sheriff, Kevin Broin and Tom
Allman, awarded the junior
blue ribbon to Gabe Colson,
and Marsha Sisneros took
home the adult top honors.
Smashing each other into
unrecognizable heaps of metal
in the annual Destruction
Derby, were winners Mike
LaPoint, first, Tim La Point,
second, John Greenwood,
third, and Clinton Frazel,
fourth. Voted the most beautiful car was #22 “Dr. Painful,”
driven by Dennis Linney.
Other than minor mishaps
and an allergic reaction, there
were no major medical emergencies or police incidents.
Many visitors commented on
the safe, friendly atmosphere
and crowds stayed until the
fair closed at midnight.
“All in all we had a problem-free fair, thanks to our
great staff and volunteers and
the presence of officers from
all the area law enforcement
agencies, coordinated by the
CHP,” Seward said.

of the suspects could be

through Aug. 23, while another
two could be detained until
Aug. 21. No reason was given
for the difference in the length

he remained in police custody.
Lebanese Cabinet
to deploy troops
but disarming of
Hezbollah unclear
BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) —
The Lebanese Cabinet agreed
Wednesday to deploy the
Lebanese army south of the
Litani River starting the next
day, a key demand of the
cease-fire that halted 34 days
of fighting between Israel and
Hezbollah. But it left unclear
the issue of disarming the
Islamic militant group.
The decision to start deploying the army on Thursday
came as top foreign diplomats
planned the dispatch of a
15,000-strong international
force that eventually is to join
the Lebanese troops in
patrolling the region between
the Israeli border and the river,
18 miles to the north.
French Defense Minister
Michele Alliot-Marie said
France is willing to lead the
enlarged U.N. force in
Lebanon until at least
February. But he expressed
concern that the force’s mandate was “fuzzy” and said the
peacekeepers need to have sufficient resources and a clear
mission.
The divided Lebanese
Cabinet, which includes two
Hezbollah ministers, held its
first meeting since the ceasefire went into effect on
Monday. The 15,000 Lebanese
troops and the U.N. peacekeepers will slowly take over
territory from withdrawing
Israeli forces. Israel had threatened to halt its withdrawal if
the Lebanese force did not
move south.
The government ordered the
army, which has been assembling north of the river, to
“insure respect” for the Blue
Line, the U.N.-demarcated
border between Lebanon and
Israel, and “apply the existing
laws with regard to any
weapons outside the authority
of the Lebanese state.”

Elvin Bishop to perform final
concert for the 2006 Sundays
in the Park concerts this Sunday
This in Todd Grove Park
at 6 p.m., Fowler Auto and
Truck Center, the City of
Ukiah and KWNE-FM are
proud to present the final
concert of the 2006
Sundays in the Park concert
series featuring the raucous
blues and razor-edged guitar
playing of Elvin Bishop.
When Elvin Bishop hit
the stage at the Sundays in
the Park concerts in 1994,
Ukiah had never before
seen such a massive
response from its citizenry.
Close to 4,500 people
showed up for his first
appearance here, then six
years later in 2000 he
returned with yet an even
better sound and a more
playful and sassy approach
to his music and now as a
veteran to the blues, rock
world he will grace the
stage to finish up the 15th
anniversary of Sundays in
the Park.
Guitarist Elvin Bishop
has been singing and
recording his rollicking
brand of electrified downhome blues for over 30
years. Bishops history-making tenure as a founding
member of the Paul
Butterfield Blues Band in
the 1960s, his chart topping
hits in the ‘70s, and his
return to blues roots with
Alligator Records in the late
1980s has put him on the
forefront of electric blues
guitarists. Elvin’s music is a
mix of his blues roots with
contemporary funk and rock
flavors spiced with a touch
of country and the laid back
feel of his northern
California home. Rolling
Stone referred to Bishop’s
music as “a good-time
romp… raucous blues with
high energy soloing, mixtures of careening slide and
razor-edged bursts, all
delivered with unflagging
enthusiasm and wit.”
Along with Bishop’s
explosive guitar style, he
often shares his home-spun
wisdom through his sly
songwriting and easy-going
vocals. With guests Charlie
Musselwhite, Joe Louis
Walker and Norton Buffalo,
his new release “The Skin
I’m In,” sizzles and shakes
off the radio charts. In the
late 1960’s, after an already
illustrious career with the
Paul Butterfield Band
worldwide, he headed to the
San Francisco area. He
became a regular at famed
Fillmore Jam sessions, playing alongside Jimi Hendrix,
Eric Clapton, B.B King and
many others. He scored big
shortly after this with his
famous song, “Fooled
Around and Fell In Love,”
with Mickey Thomas, from
the Jefferson Starship on
lead vocals. In 1992, after
many great records being
released, he joined up with
Koko Taylor, Lonnie
Brooks, Lil’ Ed and the
Blues Imperials and Katie
Webster on a cross country
tour celebrating the 20th
anniversary of Alligator
Records.
In 1995 he released his
“Ace in the Hole” CD and
backed it up with a tour
with B.B. King, Etta James,
Jimmy Vaughan and J.
Geils. Bishop performs on
stage a sly blues party…
thick leads match his laidback vocals and humorous
stories.
He mixes slide with
jump blues, honky-tonk
rock and blues funk. He
will definitely be one of the
highlights of the 2006 concert series and will once
again reign as one of the
greatest artists to grace the
Todd Grove Park stage.

Letters from our readers In our opinion
Charge them with crimes
To the Editor:
When John Conyers’ report came out
annotating at least 26 separate crimes the
Bush-Cheney team has committed, the
weak excuse that there is no evidence of
high crimes and misdemeanors was totally
discredited. The treasonous attack on the
Constitution perpetrated by these criminals
pleads for a just hearing by the Congress.
Unfortunately, greed, corruption, and lack
of courage have effectively eviscerated
Congress as an effective counter-weight to
the Executive Branch. One can only hope
that enough craven legislators will somehow find a spine and do their constitutionally mandated duty and impeach these
crooks. After that, they should be brought
to trial on charges for their crimes, including war crimes and crimes against humanity!

Editor’s note: Benj Thomas was a member of the grand jury until July of this year
and is a candidate for Ukiah City Council.
We want to send big kudos to all the businesses out there who participated in this
year’s Junior Livestock Auction at the
Redwood Empire Fair. Your generosity is
overwhelming and makes a huge difference
to all the young people in this community
who spend months raising animals - everything from rabbits, to chickens, to hogs,
lambs, goats and steers to sell at the fair.
Many of these youngsters will use the hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars
they get for their college funds.
Each year, the prices seem to get higher
and this year was no exception. Anyone
watching the auction could only be astound-
ed at local business owners paying hundreds
of times the market price for animals that
they will often just give away to a good
cause. It may be Plowshares or a local service club, but those good causes get the benefit of the generosity as well.
And before the auction arrives, there are
business owners out there who are helping
these youngsters get started, pay for the feed
for their animals during the growing months
and make sure that they get to the auction.
DUI reckless driving
is no accident
merely an instant, built-in mechanism that
is used when they are caught. The selfish,
reckless driver is not the one left behind to
pick up the pieces to a families life. Their
lives go on, as they will never feel the pain
of suddenly losing a loved one because it
was not their loved one who was killed.
The road back for a family and friends to
begin the healing process is long and
painful. The lives of everyone are forever
changed due to the selfishness of the reckless DUI driver.
No matter what one’s age is, please stop
and think of what the consequences of
drinking and reckless driving can do. Don’t
allow yourself to be the one who selfishly
took the life of a loved one away from their
family. Don’t be the one who forced a
child to grow up without their parents
because your drinking and reckless driving
claimed their parent’s life. Ultimately,
don’t be the one who takes the life of a
child whose life has only barely begun.
Imagine if you can, what your life would
be like if suddenly your loved one was
killed because of the selfishness of a reckless DUI driver. Would the casual words
you hear from the reckless driver “I’m
sorry” make you’re the devastation go
away?
There could never ever be enough “I’m
sorries” to take away the pain and emptiness that is in the hearts of a family and
friends who have lost their loved one due
to a selfish, reckless driver. A piece of their
heart will always be missing just because
someone chose to selfishly drive a motor
vehicle while under the influence.

Not every animal gets a ribbon at the fair.
But because of our generous business community, all the youngsters are winners.
To the Editor:
Frequently, no matter what area one
lives, we pick up the newspaper to read
about another DUI fatality labeled as an
accident. Reckless DUI fatalities must not
be labeled as accidents, but rather they
must be distinguished as tragedies. The
families and friends of victims of reckless
DUI tragedies struggle daily with the transition from grieving to coping with the
thought that the victim’s senseless death
was because someone consciously made a
selfish decision to drink and drive. They
chose selfishness over responsibility. That
decision is no accident. That decision
instantly shreds the lives of family, friends
and many people.
How many times have these negligent
drivers been driving under the influence
and have not been caught? How many
times have these drivers, whose conscious,
selfish acts of reckless driving been diminished, freeing the negligent driver to do
this again to another family? Everyday
innocent people get hurt by the carelessness of these reckless drivers. DUI driving
is wrong and against the law. Negligent
drivers who are responsible for the death or
injury of an innocent person should receive
the maximum sentence allowed by law.
They must be made to face the consequences of their selfish act. Most DUI
reckless drivers are incapable of feeling
true remorse, as they convince themselves
to believe it was an accident. If they convince themselves it was an accident, then
their guilt is minimized. Some may utter
the words “I’m sorry,” but those words are

From the desk of...
Businesses come through again
DUIs an increasing problem
To the Editor:
This past spring, I participated in the
Ride-Along program offered to Ukiah residents by the Ukiah Police Department; this
letter is in part to say thanks for the experience to Andy Porter, a Ukiah native and the
officer who was charged with my care (and
education). But there are two particular
aspects of the experience that I want to
share.
While I was with him, Officer Porter
stopped and took into custody a young
woman who was driving while under the
influence of alcohol. Let me say that in
dealing with the subject, Officer Porter was
a model of gentleness, firmness and compassion. This was not the arrestee’s first
such offense, and I saw and heard clear
indications that she had a significant alcohol problem. I wondered then and still
wonder what help is available for this
young person after her release. Given the
shortage of staff and funding, neither the
County’s Probation Department nor the
Alcohol and Other Drugs Program seems
able to give her the considerable amount of
time and attention she is likely to need. So
who will take care of this young woman,
particularly if she lacks personal and financial resources? Right now in our county
there don’t appear to be many reassuring
answers to that very important question. It
is relevant that this year the UPD is setting
new records for DUI arrests, a tribute to
their skill and diligence surely. But it’s also
evidence that alcohol abuse continues to be
a significant problem for our community,
one that cannot be addressed simply
through arrests.
The other inescapable conclusion I
reached as a result of my ride-along is that
the residents of the city are served extremely well by our Police Department, which is
also borne out by the Mendocino County
Grand Jury report issued this spring. The
Department is made up of professional and
committed officers who persevere despite
daunting challenges posed by drug (including alcohol) use and gang activity. The
same is true for our firefighters and emergency responders. Their commitment is all
the more noteworthy given the fact that
trained officers from Ukiah can easily find
much higher paying jobs to the south. The
passage of Measure S in June of 2005 was
one indication that the City supports these
employees. But we owe them more than
that, and we need to offer them more than
that, in order to improve current rates of
recruitment and retention among our public
safety workers.

PAUL KRUGMAN
Hoping for fear
Just two days after Sept. 11, I learned from congressional staffers that Republicans on Capitol Hill
were already exploiting the atrocity, trying to use it to
push through tax cuts for corporations and the
wealthy. I wrote about the subject the next day, warning that “politicians who wrap themselves in the flag
while relentlessly pursuing their usual partisan agenda
are not true patriots.”
The response from readers was furious -- fury not
at the politicians but at me, for suggesting that such an
outrage was even possible. “How can I say that to my
young son?” demanded one angry correspondent.
I wonder what he says to his son these days.
We now know that from the very beginning, the
Bush administration and its allies in Congress saw the
terrorist threat not as a problem to be solved, but as a
political opportunity to be exploited. The story of the
latest terror plot makes the administration’s fecklessness and cynicism on terrorism clearer than ever.
Fecklessness: The administration has always
pinched pennies when it comes to actually defending
America against terrorist attacks. Now we learn that
terrorism experts have known about the threat of liquid explosives for years, but that the Bush administration did nothing about that threat until now, and tried
to divert funds from programs that might have helped
protect us. “As the British terror plot was unfolding,”
reports The Associated Press, “the Bush administration quietly tried to take away $6 million that was supposed to be spent this year developing new explosives-detection technology.”
Cynicism: Republicans have consistently portrayed
their opponents as weak on terrorism, if not actually in
sympathy with the terrorists. Remember the 2002 TV
ad in which Sen. Max Cleland of Georgia was pictured with Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein?
Now we have Dick Cheney suggesting that voters in
the Democratic primary in Connecticut were lending
aid and comfort to “al-Qaida types.” There they go
again.
More fecklessness, and maybe more cynicism, too:
NBC reports that there was a dispute between the
British and the Americans over when to make arrests
in the latest plot. Since the alleged plotters weren’t
ready to go -- they hadn’t purchased airline tickets,
and some didn’t even have passports yet -- British
officials wanted to watch and wait, hoping to gather
more evidence. But according to NBC, the Americans
insisted on early arrests.
Suspicions that the Bush administration might have
had political motives in wanting the arrests made prematurely are fed by memories of events two years ago:
The Department of Homeland Security declared a terror alert just after the Democratic National
Convention, shifting the spotlight away from John
Kerry -- and, according to Pakistani intelligence officials, blowing the cover of a mole inside al-Qaida.
But whether or not there was something fishy about
the timing of the latest terror announcement, there’s
the question of whether the administration’s scare tactics will work. If current polls are any indication,
Republicans are on the verge of losing control of at
least one house of Congress. And “on every issue
other than terrorism and homeland security,” says
Newsweek about its latest poll, “the Dems win.” Can
a last-minute effort to make a big splash on terror
stave off electoral disaster?
Many political analysts think it will. But even on
terrorism, and even after the latest news, polls give
Republicans at best a slight advantage. And
Democrats are finally doing what they should have
done long ago: calling foul on the administration’s
attempt to take partisan advantage of the terrorist
threat.
It was significant both that President Bush felt
obliged to defend himself against that accusation in
his Saturday radio address, and that his standard
defense -- attacking a straw man by declaring that
“there should be no disagreement about the dangers
we face” -- came off sounding so weak.
Above all, many Americans now understand the
extent to which Bush abused the trust the nation
placed in him after Sept. 11. Americans no longer
believe that he is someone who will keep them safe, as
many did even in 2004; the pathetic response to
Hurricane Katrina and the disaster in Iraq have seen to
that.
All Bush and his party can do at this point is demonize their opposition. And my guess is that the public
won’t go for it, that Americans are fed up with leadership that has nothing to hope for but fear itself.

Byron Randall Retrospective
Exhibit on display at the
Mendocino Art Center
The Mendocino Art Center will showcase
the works of expressionist painter Byron
Randall in a retrospective exhibit, “West Coast
Expressions,” August 3 through 26, in the
Main Gallery. The showing will feature 40 of
Randall’s original watercolor and oil paintings,
as well as many prints.
Randall (1918-99) was born in Tacoma,
Washington, and raised in Salem, Oregon,
where he worked as a waiter, harvest hand,
boxer, and cook for the Marion County jail to
finance his art studies. When he was 21 years
old, a solo exhibit at the Whyte Gallery in
Washington, D.C., brought his work to national attention and launched his professional
career. Over the years, he exhibited his work in
New York, San Francisco, Philadelphia,
Chicago, Seattle, Montreal, Edinburgh and
Inverness, Scotland.
From 1959 to 1968, he operated a guesthouse and art gallery in Mendocino with his
second wife, print-maker and muralist Emmy
Lou Packard. Together they created art, and
were active in political and environmental
issues, playing a prominent role in the campaign to protect the Mendocino coastline from
commercial exploitation and in the creation of
the Peace and Freedom party.
A 2nd Saturday Artists Reception will be
held Saturday from 5 to 8 p.m., at the
Mendocino Art Center. The free reception
offers guests the opportunity to meet and mingle with August’s featured gallery artists, while
enjoying food, wine, live music and fabulous
artwork.
who also served as the
show’s main choreographer.
As of this writing, it’s not
uncommon to have ten people at the theater sewing costumes, painting the set or
adjusting the lighting; it’s
definitely an exciting time
behind the scenes. But the
main focus, of course, is the
student actors.
Audiences can look forward to dances with wolves,
talking household appliances,
dancing kitchen utensils and
singing candlesticks! For

If Anderson won’t talk, Feds want him in jail
New England quarterback
Brady is one of 10-20 athletes
listed in grand jury subpoena
By PAUL ELIAS
Associated Press Writer
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) —
Federal prosecutors asked a judge
Thursday to throw Barry Bonds’ personal trainer back in jail if he again
refuses to testify, this time before a
newly assembled grand jury that is
reportedly also investigating track
coach Trevor Graham.
In a statement to prosecutors about
his intentions to stay mum, Greg
Anderson also evoked the name of
New England Patriots quarterback
Tom Brady, saying the two had spoken
over the phone but never made further
contact.
“I had only one brief conversation
with Tom Brady regarding a potential
future workout,” Anderson said in the
statment to prosecutors that was
included in court documents unsealed
Wednesday. “I never had another
phone conversation with him and
never discussed it with anyone.”
Paula Canny, an Anderson attorney
and friend, said Brady’s name appears
along with “10 to 20” other athletes
that Anderson’s grand jury subpoena
lists as people the trainer should be
prepared to answer questions about.

Tiger Woods notched one of the most important wins of his career in 1999 at the PGA
Championship, winning a title after a 2 1/2 year drought at the majors.
One thing is certain at Medinah: Woods is the man to beat
By DOUG FERGUSON
MEDINAH, Ill. — The longest
course for a major. A flap over the
Ryder Cup. Tiger Woods hitting his
stride.
The PGA Championship returns to
Medinah Country Club, and it doesn’t
seem as though much has changed in
the seven years since it last was held at
this tree-lined course outside Chicago.
The controversy over the Ryder
Cup this time is not about money, but
the points system.
The course was the longest for a
Grand Slam event at sea level in 1999
at 7,401 yards. Now it measures 7,561
yards and is the longest for any major
championship at any altitude.
As for Woods, he has a little less
hair and a lot more trophies.
Medinah brought him one of his
most important titles in the 1999 PGA
Championship, when Woods was
going through a 2 1/2-year drought in
the majors that raised questions about
whether his 1997 Masters title was a
fluke. He nearly blew a five-shot lead
in the final round until making a crucial par save on the 17th hole and
hanging on for a one-shot victory over
19-year-old Sergio Garcia.
That turned out to be a springboard
to one of the most dominant stretches
in golf. Starting with his victory at
Medinah, Woods won 18 of his next
36 events on the PGA Tour, including
a 5-of-6 run through the majors.
A victory at Medinah could signal
another big run.
For the first time since the 2001
Masters, Woods goes into a major
having won his previous two starts on
the PGA Tour.
The first one was the British Open,
when Woods hit driver only once at
Royal Liverpool and wore out his long
irons on his way to a two-shot victory.
The next stop was the Buick Open,

Canny said investigators may have
gotten Brady’s name from Anderson

SANTA CLARA – Running back
Kevan Barlow insisted he is not concerned about a rumor that he might
soon be traded to the New York Jets.
“It’s just speculation,” Barlow
said.
The 49ers have made three playerfor-player trades in the past year after
not making any such deals since
1988. Given all the trades, Barlow
was asked whether he and other players wonder if they might be next. He
bristled at the question.
“I ain’t going to comment on that
question,” he said. “No comment on
that. I just told you I ain’t worried
about it. I’m not worried about it,
know what I mean? Coach (Mike)
Nolan told me, he told you. I’m not
worried about being traded. I’m here

... I hope.”
Nolan said Tuesday he has spoken
with Barlow about the rumor, telling
the sixth-year veteran there have not
been “serious talks.” But Nolan said
Wednesday he has not promised
Barlow that he’ll be on the team.
“No, I just reassured him I’m not
having any communication,” Nolan
said. “But I wouldn’t reassure anybody they’ll be with this team right
now.”

SAN DIEGO (AP) — The fatherin-law of embattled Tour de France
winner Floyd Landis was found dead
in his car after committing suicide,
coroner’s officials said Wednesday.
The body of David Witt, 57, was
discovered at a parking garage
Tuesday afternoon, said Paul Parker,
an investigator with the San Diego
County Medical Examiner. He had a
gunshot wound to the head, and the
death was ruled a suicide, Parker said.
“The Landises are devastated by
the news of David’s death,” family
spokesman Michael Henson told The
Associated Press. “They loved him
dearly, and they miss him.”
Witt was the stepfather of Landis’
wife, Amber. Although Witt had been
deeply affected by recent doping allegations against Landis, close friend
Dwight van Slyke said he did not
believe that it directly led to the suicide.
“It could have been a few percentages of the whole maybe, or just
another negative thing that he was
depressed over,” said van Slyke,
adding Witt had also been struggling
under the strain of opening a new
restaurant earlier this year.
An avid amateur cyclist, Witt met
Landis through a mutual coach in
1998 and at one point the two shared
an apartment in San Diego, Henson
said. It was Witt who introduced
Landis to his future wife and has been
credited with introducing Landis — a
former mountain biker — to the world
of road racing.
Witt and Landis were so close they
served as best man at each other’s
weddings, Henson said. Witt married
Amber Landis’ mother Rose, a
schoolteacher, a short time after the
younger couple married in 2000.
Landis, who lives in Murrieta, has
been under investigation by cycling
authorities after testing positive for
high levels of testosterone last month.
The Tour de France has said it no
longer considers Landis its champion.
The 30-year-old cyclist has cited a
variety of possible reasons for his
failed test: ingesting something that
raised his testosterone, cortisone shots
for pain in his degenerating hip, drinking beer and whiskey the night before
the test, thyroid medication, his natural metabolism and dehydration.
Funeral arrangements for Witt were
pending.

SPORTS
Feds
England Patriots declined
comment on Anderson’s
statement.
“I don’t have any information
on
it,”
Patriots
spokesman Stacey James
said. “I’m not going on
hearsay.”
Anderson has refused on
four different occasions to
testify before federal grand
juries investigating Bonds. He
was released from prison July
20 after serving 15 days for
refusing to testify, but only
after that grand jury’s term
expired.
“I will not ever make statements about other people,”
Anderson said in the June 23
statement filed with the court.
“That has always been my
position and will continue to
be.”
Anderson could be headed
back to jail if he stands by that
policy.
Government lawyers are
investigating whether Bonds
lied under oath when he told
an earlier grand jury he didn’t
know whether the substances
given to him by Anderson
were steroids. T
he grand jury probe also
reportedly is focused on
whether the San Francisco
Giants slugger paid taxes on
the sale of hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of
sports memorabilia.
The New York Times
reported last month that the
grand jury is also looking into
the possible involvement of
Graham, the track coach of
Marion Jones and Justin
Gatlin, who tested positive
earlier this year for elevated
testosterone.
Anderson
previously
served three months in prison
after pleading guilty to steroid
distribution and money laundering stemming from the
government’s investigation of
the Bay Area Laboratory CoOperative, which that allegedly supplied Bonds and other
elite athletes with performance-enhancing drugs.
Some legal experts see
Anderson as the key to proving the perjury allegations,
since Bonds reportedly testified that the trainer gave him
two substances that fit the
description of “the cream”
and “the clear” — two performance-enhancing
drugs
linked to BALCO.
In 2003, Bonds reportedly
testified to the grand jury
investigating BALCO that he
believed the substances were
flaxseed oil and arthritis
balm, not steroids.
Anderson also could offer
insight into the doping calendars bearing Bonds’ name that
were seized when federal
agents raided Anderson’s
house, according to court
papers connected to the
steroids probe.
But Anderson’s lawyers
say he shouldn’t have to testify because of the numerous
leaks of secret grand jury testimony to the San Francisco
Chronicle during the course
of the four-year investigation.
Chronicle reporters Lance
Williams and Mark FainaruWada have written a book
based largely on leaked testimony.
A federal judge has told the
reporters they must tell a
grand jury who leaked them
secret testimony. The pair
have said they would go to
jail rather than reveal their
source or sources.
Anderson’s lawyers also
say the agreement he made
with prosecutors to plead
guilty last year in the BALCO
case stipulated he wouldn’t
have to cooperate in the
investigation.
Anderson also shouldn’t
have to testify because he was
the target of an illegal wiretap, they argue.
The new grand jury ordering Anderson’s testimony can
stay in session for as long as
18 months.
By law, an intransigent
Anderson can be locked up
for the grand jury’s full term,
though a judge can free him
sooner if convinced he never
will talk.

RANGERS 9, ANGELS 3
Bench-clearing brawl in Texas
ARLINGTON, Texas — A
volatile series turned violent
Wednesday night when Adam
Kennedy charged the mound
after being hit by a pitch from
Texas’ Scott Feldman, triggering a bench-clearing brawl
in the Rangers’ 9-3 victory
over the Los Angeles Angels.
A night after Rangers
starter Vicente Padilla was
ejected for hitting two Angels
with pitches and nearly
plunking a third, tensions
between the AL West rivals
finally boiled over.
Kennedy was hit an inning
after the Angels had two
pitchers and manager Mike
Scioscia ejected because two
Rangers’ hitters were nailed.
Feldman threw his glove
down as Kennedy charged
the mound and Feldman hit
Kennedy in the armpit with a
punch.
Rangers third baseman
Mark
DeRosa
sprinted
toward the mound and tackled Kennedy as both benches
and bullpens emptied. Angels
right-hander John Lackey ran
from the dugout and had to be
restrained from going after
Rangers players.
The umpires restored order
about four minutes later.
Rangers manager Buck
Showalter was tossed out for
a second straight game.
Kennedy and Feldman were
also ejected.
In the bottom of the eighth,
Angels reliever Kevin Gregg
threw well behind Ian
Kinsler, and plate umpire
Sam Holbrook warned both
dugouts.
Gregg and Scioscia were
ejected when he hit the next
batter, Michael Young, in the
back with a pitch.
Brendan Donnelly relieved
and he was thrown out after
four pitches when he plunked
Freddy Guzman. Bench
coach Ron Roenicke, who
took over for Scioscia, also
was ejected.
Rookie Nelson Cruz hit his
first grand slam in an eightrun third inning for the
Rangers and Adam Eaton
allowed two runs in seven
innings.
Cruz, acquired from the
Milwaukee Brewers along
with Carlos Lee in a six-player trade on July 28, hit the
Rangers’ eighth grand slam
of the season off Gregg.
Cruz’s long fly just cleared
the left-field wall and
stretched the lead to 9-0.
Kinsler also homered in
the third for the Rangers,
who’ve won six of seven.

RAIDERS
NFL TRAINING CAMPS
Focus on turnovers pays off Owens ends ‘Tour de
NAPA — Linebackers
practice stripping the ball
away from offensive players.
Defensive backs tip passes to
each other trying for interceptions. Backup quarterbacks
even have purposely dropped
snaps from center to give linemen the chance to practice
recovering fumbles.
Turnovers — both preventing and causing them — have
been a strong point of emphasis for Oakland Raiders coach
Art Shell this preseason.
“I never had to work on
turnovers so much during
practice,” defensive lineman
Lance Johnstone said. “The
first game showed you. I’ve
never been on a team where
we actually had a special part
of practice where offense and
defense is just working on
turnovers. It’s definitely going
to help us out.”
The results have been evident so far this preseason. The
Raiders forced five turnovers
in the preseason opener
against Philadelphia and followed that with two more
49ers
the locker room on a cart.
Sammy Davis replaced
Spencer on the first team, and
Derrick Johnson moved up to
the “dime” unit. B.J. Tucker
also will see time in the dime
once he is over his ankle
injury. Right now he’s limited
to individual drills.
Additionally, backup linebacker
Parys
Haralson
remained sidelined the day
after injuring the bottom of his
left foot.
Nolan did not provide
much new detail on the fifthround draft choice other than
to say he was “sore”
Wednesday and would miss
Tiger
where he overpowered the
course and won by three for
his 50th career title.
“I saw him hit a few shots,
and he had that kind of swagger ... that kind of strut he has
when he’s playing really well,
that ’no one is beating me’
look in his eye,” U.S. Open
champion Geoff Ogilvy said.
“He hasn’t had that for a
while. You don’t think, ’Here
we go again,’ but you’re
happy that the best player in
history is back playing the
way he can.”
Woods won that 2001
Masters after playing the final
round with Phil Mickelson,
beating him by two shots.
They
haven’t
played
together in a major since then,
although that will change
when the PGA Championship
begins Thursday morning.
Leave it to the final major of
the year to deliver the pairing
everyone wants to see.
The PGA puts together the
three major champions of the
year for the first two rounds,
and it should be quite a show.
“The expectations of Phil
must be very high to knock
Tiger off his pedestal,”
Michael Campbell said. “He’s
playing great right now.
They’re both playing great.
It’s going to be a great spectacle for all of us, really, to see
these best two players in the
world fight it out over the next
four days.”
For a dozen or so other
players, more than just the
Wanamaker Trophy is on the
line.
This is the final qualifying
event for the Ryder Cup — the
top 10 in the standings make
the U.S. team, and captain
Tom Lehman will announce
his two picks on Monday.
Some 90 players still have a
mathematical chance.
It wasn’t like this at
Medinah in 1999, because the
points system didn’t feature
such wild fluctuations. Hot
stretches in the summer
enabled unheralded players
like Vaughn Taylor, J.J. Henry
and Brett Wetterich to climb
Monday against Minnesota,
including recovering a fumble
on the opening kickoff.
That’s a far cry from last
season, when Oakland forced
only 19 turnovers in 16
games. The Raiders’ five
interceptions were the fewest
by any team in a 16-game season.
“I hope we continue to do
that,” Shell said. “We just
need to make sure we get them
during the regular season
when we open up in San
Diego. They’re working on it.
It’s a point of emphasis for us
coming into training camp and
those guys are really working
hard on it. They love the
turnover drill now. They get a
kick out of it because they see
results.”
One reason for the lack of
interceptions last year was
inexperience in the secondary.
When Charles Woodson went
down with a season-ending
injury in October, the secondary was left without an
experienced leader and the
young group struggled.
The inability to cause
turnovers made it difficult for
the defense to get off the field,
but that could change this season.
Cornerback
Fabian
Washington, last year’s firstround draft pick, already has
one interception this preseason after getting none as a
rookie, and plans to take more
chances this season.
“That’s how I played in college,” Washington said. “I
don’t think it’s gambling. I
think it’s taking an educated
guess. You watch enough film
to know what the offense is
pretty much going to do, so
now you have to take your
shots.”
Along with practicing creating turnovers each day, the
Raiders have also put a greater
emphasis on speed on defense.
Rookie Thomas Howard is
starting at outside linebacker
because of his speed, and Kirk
Morrison has moved from the
outside to the middle, where
he should be able to roam
from sideline to sideline.
First-round pick Michael
Huff is expected to start at
safety and use his speed and
big hitting all over the field.
more than a week. Newcomer
Bobby Iwuchukwu filled in
for Haralson.
Tight end Eric Johnson was
pulled from the morning practice with tightness in a hip and
probably will not practice
today. Offensive lineman
Adam Snyder (bicep) was
limited to individual drills.
Receiver Arnaz Battle (knee)
practiced but is being limited
to non-contact situations.
JACOBS PRACTICES:
Receiver Taylor Jacobs,
acquired
Monday
from
Washington for cornerback
Mike Rumph, practiced with
his new team for the first time
Wednesday morning.
“I know that my skill is not
the issue,” said Jacobs, who
has caught only 30 passes in
his first three seasons. “I just
need a fresh start to get the
ball rolling my way.”
Jacobs’ most notable
moment Wednesday came
when he dropped a deep pass
from backup quarterback
Trent Dilfer.
COSTUME
PARTY:
Nolan said he is looking forward to seeing how his team
performs in front of a hostile
crowd at Oakland on Sunday.
“(The fans) dress up for the
affair so it’ll be nice to see all
the new costumes,” Nolan
said.
Of the get-tough policy
enacted by new Raiders coach
Art Shell, Nolan said, “We’ll
see if they have gotten
tougher. ... We’ll see what
Art’s got going over there.”
into the top 10.
Right behind is John
Rollins, who received more
points for winning the B.C.
Open than Chris DiMarco got
as runner-up at the British
Open.
It has caused the PGA of
America to defend its new
system before the Ryder Cup
even has been played.
Who knows? Maybe the
United States will win for a
change.
“It’s really too early to
judge whether the system will
work,” PGA president Roger
Warren said.
This beats the Ryder Cup
flap at Medinah last time,
when Woods, Mickelson,
David Duval and Mark
O’Meara were critical of the
PGA of America for raking in
a $23 million profit from the
event. The players wanted
some input on how the income
was being spent and were
accused of wanting to be paid
for playing in the Ryder Cup.
Now, each player can direct
$200,000 of the proceeds to
the charity and college of his
choice.
But it became a divisive
issue, and the finger-pointing
by captain Ben Crenshaw didn’t help.
“It burns the hell out of me
to listen to some of their viewpoints,” Crenshaw said at the
time, even though he ultimately made more money than
anyone off the Ryder Cup.
Lehman saw a positive
connection between then and
now. The last time the U.S.
team won the Ryder Cup was
in 1999, the year the team was
finalized at Medinah.
“I think we’ve got a good
karma going,” he said. “I’m
not too worried about the sideline issues.”
Oxnard,’ starts practicing
OXNARD
–
Terrell
Owens ditched the bike and
got back onto the field for the
Dallas Cowboys.
He did keep them waiting,
though.
Owens, who missed 14
straight practices because of
a hamstring problem, was the
last player on the field
Wednesday in Oxnard. He
did ride the stationary bicycle
on the sideline, where he’s
spent the last two weeks, but
this time just for a quick
warmup before the only practice of the day — his first
since Aug. 2.
Coach Bill Parcells wasn’t
sure if Owens’ return to practice meant he’d be available
for Monday night’s game
against New Orleans.
“That doesn’t mean he
would play,” Parcells said.
“He has missed a lot of time.
It wouldn’t be so much
whether he practiced or not,
as to how he looked, how
much he practiced and did he
get enough practice to make
a good judgment about playing him.”
Based on how Owens was
running around the previous
two days, he should be OK.
While Owens was back,
lots of NFL players were
sidelined by injury or suspension.
Nowhere has training
camp been more chaotic than
with the Cleveland Browns.
They discovered Wednesday
that Alonzo Ephraim, an
emergency signing after center LeCharles Bentley went
down with a season-ending
knee injury, was suspended
for the first four regular-season games for violating the
NFL’s substance abuse policy.
He will be eligible to
rejoin the Browns’ active ros-

Ephraim’s
suspension
comes after Bentley’s injury
and the sudden retirement of
backup center Bob Hallen.
The Browns rushed to sign
Ephraim as a free agent July
29, two days after Bentley
tore his patellar tendon on the
second day of camp.
Cleveland’s desperation to
get a veteran center and bad
timing resulted in the club
not knowing about Ephraim’s
pending suspension, Crennel
said. The signing took place
on a Saturday when the
league’s offices were closed.
“We were in a situation
where we needed a body and
he was available,” Crennel
said. “All of the lines of communication were not open
and we went ahead and made
a move. As it turns out, he’s
suspended. It was one of
those things that happened
because we weren’t able to
communicate the way we
needed to.”
Lee Suggs returned to
practice Wednesday, one day
after his trade to New York
was voided when the Jets
said the oft-injured running
back had failed his physical.
“I was shocked,” he said.
“I practiced throughout training camp and all of the
spring. I did all the workouts,
passed the physicals here and
everything was fine. Then I
went up to New York, and I
failed. So, yes I was
shocked.”
Washington Redskins
Defensive end Phillip
Daniels is the latest injured
Redskin, out for a week or so
with a sprained back.
Trainer Bubba Tyer, who
was in Alabama on Monday
for Clinton Portis’ shoulder
exam and in North Carolina
on Tuesday for Shawn
Springs’ surgery, was back at
Redskins
Park
on
Wednesday, and he had a
daunting list of patients to
discuss with coach Joe
Gibbs.
“There’s a lot going on the
last couple of days,” said
Gibbs, whose team has also
made 10 roster moves plus a
trade in the last 72 hours.
Daniels was hurt in
Tuesday’s practice and was
sent to a specialist for an
MRI. The good news is that
Daniels should recover in
plenty of time for the season
opener Sept. 11 against
Minnesota.
Tyer indicated Springs,
who had an operation to
repair a torn abdominal muscle, would have only an outside chance of playing in the
opener. Tyer was slightly
more optimistic that Portis,
recovering from a partially
dislocated shoulder, would
play against the Vikings.
Indianapolis Colts
Safety Jahmile Addae
became ill during the morning practice and was taken to
a hospital, where he was
expected to undergo further
tests. Addae, an undrafted
rookie from West Virginia,
gave the Colts a scare when
he became lightheaded. By
the afternoon, coach Tony
Dungy said Addae was feeling better and his vital signs
had returned to normal.
“We’re not sure what it
was,” Dungy said. “We don’t
think it was a blow to the
head, and it doesn’t appear of
the cardiac nature, either.”
Denver Broncos
RB Ron Dayne, who
injured his toe in the preseason opener against Detroit,
struggled to climb steps
Wednesday, using the railing
for support. He said he doesn’t expect to play Saturday
against Tennessee.

free movie set for Aug. 23
A free showing of the movie “Breakfast at
Tiffany’s” will be Wednesday afternoon,
August 23 at 2 p.m. at the Ukiah United
Methodist Church, 270 N. Pine St., as an activity of A Healing Cooperative (AHC), a project
that promotes healing through community and
self-help support.
Based on the story by Truman Capote and
starring Audrey Hepburn, this film focuses on
a young woman struggling to make ends meet
and keep up her appearance as a stylish New
York socialite. Through her friendship with an
aspiring writer, Holly Golightly (Hepburn)
begins to expose the cracks in her easy-going
façade and the truth about her past is revealed.
Winner of two Academy Awards in 1962, this
classic is still full of hope and fun. “Breakfast
at Tiffany’s” is a film that proves that sometimes the best way to find oneself is to search
with another person.
Admission is free and the film is open to the
public. There will be a time for an informal discussion at the end of the film. For more information, call 462-3360 ext 203, email

Paul Bunyan Days
Logging Show set for Sept. 3
Mendocino County loggers will compete
with loggers from neighboring counties for
$10,000 in cash prizes. This tri-county event
will be open for the first time to loggers of
Mendocino, Lake and Humboldt counties. The
show will start at 10 a.m. to accommodate
additional activities. The location is in the field
just off Highway 1, on Todd’s Point in Fort
Bragg.
For loggers, this is an opportunity to win
serious cash, just by pitting logging skills
against those of family, friends, and neighbors.
This is a chance to show who’s really master of
the block.
Andy Fales was last year’s top logger, as
usual. Andy won first place in the Single Buck,
Chain Saw, Hand Chop, Double Buck and Jack
and Jill events. And Tom Fales Sr., Andy’s 74year-old grandfather, walked away with the Ol’
Time Logger prize money. Frank Fales III took
first place in the Axe Throw, Rick Rial was
first in Choker Setting, and Nathan Orsi was
fastest in the Pole Climb.
The logging show is family-style entertainment with events ranging from the Youth Kingof-the-Log Pillow Fight, to the Ol’ Timers
competition for loggers over 60. Other competitions include: the 20-foot Ax Throw, the
Single and Double Buck Handsaw, Jack and
Jill Handsaw, Chain Saw Bucking, Hand
Chopping, Choker Setting, and a Pole Climb.
The prize money is big: $1,000 for the All
Around Logger, $500, $300, and $200 for 1st,
2nd, and 3rd place in each event, totaling
$10,000. The entry fee is $15 per event, or $50
to compete in as many events as one would
like.
The logging show demonstrates the roots of
what built the town of Fort Bragg and other
communities along the Mendocino Coast.
Between events, spectators and participants
can watch something new - the folks from
Bailey’s Woodsman’s Supplies turning logs
into lumber using a portable sawmill. Events
and demos will be an entertaining way to witness what’s quickly becoming a lost art.
Call 964-3356 for an application or to volunteer to be a timer, scorekeeper, or wood handler. Or applications may be downloaded from
paulbunyandays.com.
Moonlight Movie Madness

Friday, Aug. 18, 2006
Conditions in general
look exceptionally good for
you in the year ahead, making it possible for you to
succeed in both independent
and collective endeavors.
You shouldn’t have to
decide between the two, so
engage in all opportunities.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - Whether we admit it or not,
our friends can have a strong
influence on our outlook and
attitude. Such could be the
case for you, so pick your
associates wisely.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22) -- Your intellect and
resourcefulness will be
responsible for the personal
satisfaction you’re going to
feel from overcoming or circumventing
challenging
obstacles.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.
23) -- Normally, it isn’t wise
to offer unsolicited advice to
others, but today might be
an exception. If you see one
of your pals in dire need of
some suggestions for help,
don’t hesitate to speak up.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
22) -- When divvying up
assignments for a joint
endeavor with another, your
chances for success are
greater if you do the brain
work and he or she does the
legwork.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.
23-Dec. 21) -- Should you
have to make a decision on
an issue where there are two
alternatives of equal value,
don’t fall prey to indecision.
Regardless of which one you
choose, each will be good.
Samuel Goldwyn (1882-1974), film producer;
Mae West (1893-1980), actress; Maureen
O’Hara (1920-), actress, is 86; Robert De Niro
(1943-), actor, is 63; Sean Penn (1960-),
actor/director, is 46.
TODAY’S SPORTS: In 1966, with his
535th home run, Willie Mays passed Jimmie
Foxx to become the second all-time home-run
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19) -- Don’t expect others to follow your ideas or
suggestions without first
explaining how things work.
Seeing is believing, so be
prepared to teach, not
preach.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 19) -- Try to break
away early from what might
have been a hectic week and
get involved in some enjoyable activity. Everyone
needs a release from builtup tensions, and you’re no
different.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March
20) -- By scheduling your
agenda well, more than one
matter of importance can be
completed to your satisfaction. Prioritize your list and
hitter (behind Babe Ruth) in the major leagues.
TODAY’S QUOTE: “Be sure you are
right, then go ahead.” -- Davy Crockett
TODAY’S FACT: Gold was first discovered in California in 1848; 80,000 prospectors
had traveled there in search of riches by 1849.
TODAY’S MOON: Between last quarter
(Aug. 15) and new moon (Aug. 23).
lay out a game plan that you
know will work for you.
ARIES (March 21-April
19) -- With your quick eye
and sharp mind, there isn’t
much that will escape your
attention. What you do with
it will determine its worth,
however. Put into action any
knowledge you gain.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20) -- Although it might
require some imaginative
twists on your part that are
well within your scope, you
should be able to devise
ways of mining gold nuggets
everyone else has missed.
GEMINI (May 21-June
20) -- You could be at your
best when it comes to understanding how you can juggle
two endeavors simultane-
ously and get twice the
amount of work accomplished in half the time.
CANCER (June 21-July
22) -- Be careful about discussing your intentions for
furthering a personal ambition too prematurely. If bits
of your idea are only in your
mind, hold off until you
have concrete facts to
impart.

you in the year ahead. Send

Husband should give his wife the benefit of the doubt
Dear Annie: Last week, my doctor gave
me a preliminary diagnosis of genital herpes.
I am waiting for the lab to call back. In the
meantime, my husband has shunned me.
I don’t know if I contracted this from him
(I know that Type 1 cold sores can transfer
and infect other areas), or if it is something I
contracted years ago and no symptoms
showed up until now.
I have been completely faithful to my husband, but now he doubts that. Is there information that can help him accept me? -Infected in California
Dear Infected: A person can contract genital herpes through normal sexual contact or
through oral sex if one partner is infected
with oral herpes (cold sores). Some people
have no outward symptoms, or their symptoms are mistaken for other conditions, and
they live with the virus for years without
knowing they have it. If you are symptomfree, a regular gynecological check-up would
ANNIE’S MAILBOX
By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
not necessarily diagnose herpes, since you
have to specifically ask to be tested.
Either you or your husband could have
contracted this virus before your marriage, or
you could have gotten it through oral sex. We
hope your husband will give you the benefit
of the doubt, and he, too, should see his doctor. In the meantime, please contact the
American Social Health Association
(ashastd.org) or their STI Research Center
Hotline at 1-800-227-8922.
Dear Annie: Nearly 20 years ago, I officiated at my first wedding. I did not know how
to react when a mother could not quiet her
two screaming toddlers, but I have since
THURSDAY EVENING
6:00 6:30 7:00 7:30 8:00 8:30 9:00 9:30 10:00 10:30 11:00
made it my responsibility to handle such
things.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with
having children present, but a screaming,
crying, disruptive child absolutely distracts
from the primary reason a congregation has
gathered. Parents often try to “shush” their
infant, which only intensifies the attention
turned toward them. I have been baffled
when parents refuse to leave such a holy
occasion with a screaming child because they
do not want to miss out on the ceremony.
Quite frankly, that is rather selfish.
I would appreciate it if you would remind
your readers about this important part of etiquette -- not simply for weddings, but for
funeral and worship services as well. Here is
a simple guideline: If you have a disruptive
child, try to calm them, but if the disruption
continues, leave. Some places of worship
have a crying room, where the service is
piped in. Otherwise, go to a nearby park,
lobby, whatever, but please take the needs of
the whole congregation into consideration.
I speak as a father of three, and have, at
times, had to carry my own child out of a service. (P.S. Turn off your cell phones while
you’re at it.) -- Pleading Priest
Dear Pleading Priest: We understand that
parents don’t want to miss these important
events, but a screaming child makes it
unpleasant for everyone. We hope all parents
will remember your words (about the cell
phones, too).
Dear Annie: I have a suggestion for
“Lonely in New Haven, Conn.,” who had
trouble finding friends. She should check into
the Red Hat Society in her area (redhatsociety.com). This is a group of women over 50
who wear red hats and just want to have fun.
Red Hats was started in Southern
California by Sue Ellen Cooper. We already
have 16 chapters in our area (Kelowna,
British Columbia) and had a fabulous threeday convention here just last month. -- Purple
Hugs From Claire
Dear Claire: We have mentioned the Red
Hat Society in this column before, and we
think it’s a great organization and hope she
will check it out.

in bad shape when our
foster mom found us.
We are now healthy &
happy.
My sisters have found
homes and left me her
by myself and now it’s
my turn.
I am happy and quiet
at home but am a bit
shy with strangers.
If you have room
in your
❤heart❤ for me,
PLEASE call AV
Rescue at
895-3785 or
Mary 462-3948.
My name is
GUNNER
I’m a 6 year old male
Sheperd mix. I am a
loveable, easy-going
fellow and would be a
wonderful companion.
I know
basic
commands, and learn
very quickly. I love to
take walks, eat treats,
and roll over for belly
rubs and generally
act goofy. I am so
happy to be around
people and female
dogs.
I am currently
living at the
Shelter at
298 Plant Rd.

SolFest
is taking 14 units, which cost
her $381 in tuition and $440
in books, she said.
“Instructors feel these new
editions come out when they
aren’t really necessary. It’s a big
conspiracy with publishing
companies ... They are in business to make money, but there
needs to be more of a consensus
among educators to say, ‘We
don’t really need new editions,’” Cooper said as she purchased her textbooks on
Wednesday.
Meredith Hudson, also buying books Wednesday, agreed
they are “definitely” one of her
biggest expenses.
“Although ... I think I might
have spent more on registration
this year,” she said. (California
Community colleges cost $26
per unit, which is much less
than the cost of a four-year college, but still a crunch for many
students.) After doing calculations in her head, Hudson
decided she spends the most
money on art supplies.
“I spent the most on art supplies. I am a ceramist. I run
through a lot of tools, and they
are really expensive; so is clay.
I spent about $200 on books,
$329 on registration, and I
probably spend about $1,000
per year on art supplies. Each
bag of clay is $10 and I go
through a bag a week during
each semester.”
Asked her biggest back-toschool expense, Rabecca Ford,
a Willits High School senior
taking two classes at the local
college, said “books.” Ford
spent $200 on two books, she
said.
“Students are really impacted by the cost of books,”
Mendocino College Director of
energy and fuel-saving technology and products, along
with entertainment, food and
drink.
Headlining the entertainment will be the David
Grisman
Bluegrass
Experience. In a career spanning four decades, mandolinist/ composer David Grisman
has recorded and produced
dozens of critically acclaimed
recordings of acoustic music,
five of which have been nominated for Grammy Awards.
There will also be performances by Vince Herman of
Leftover Salmon, Bay area
rockers New Monsoon, and
bluegrass
jammers
Hot
Buttered Rum. On Saturday
night, the Moondance will
feature the flamencadelic
grooves of Alma Melodiosa, a
Haute Trash fashion show, the
Gaiatronic sounds of DJ
Dragonfly,
Veggie
Oil
Wrestling and much much
more. Moondance is free
with every paid SolFest
admission.
Turtles
midway of the fairgrounds
and check the number on the
bottom of the turtle, which
corresponds to the adopter.
“If your lucky turtle is
pulled from the lagoon, you
are a winner,” Elmore said.
Turtles aside, the day will
consist of local talents performing on stage, Jubilee
Jumps’ bounce houses, a dunk
tank, cotton candy machine,
popcorn machine and more.
The
Mendocino County
Sheriff’s K-9 units will also
be roaming the premises and
answering questions people
may have about the dogs and
their trainers.
A fire safety trailer -staffed by Ukiah Valley Fire
District and the California
Department of Forestry and
Fire Protection -- will also be
set up at the event to help
Isaac Eckel/The Daily Journal
Sharla Robertson and her son Cody, of Fort Bragg, leave Mervyn’s department
store with bags full of back-to-school clothes on Wednesday.
Public Information Ross Beck
said. “It’s just unbelievable
now, it’s approaching $100 per
book,” he said, noting, however, the college does offer some
book scholarships and book
vouchers to help, as well as
financial aid to those students
who qualify.
For example, full-time student Ron Valadez paid $17 for
his tuition because he was able
to get a Board Of Governors fee
waiver, and the College
Assistance Migrant Program
took care of his books, he said.
Asked why electronics were
a bigger expense at the college
level than the junior college
level, Beck said: “A number of
four-year institutions require
that you have a laptop or an
iPod, because they are distributing information to their students
electronically, not with paperwork. At Mendocino College,
we do not require a student to
have electronic equipment in
order to get their lessons from
teach children how to prevent
a fire and how to get out of a
structure fire safely.
Kings Cup will be on
scene serving cold drinks,
and staff from Raley’s and
Home Depot will also be
doing activities with the children, Elmore said.
The turtles are currently
available for adoption at Ken
Fowler Auto Center, Raley’s
and Taco Bell in Ukiah. They
can also be adopted at the
event on Saturday. A $50
donation adopts a family of
turtles -- 10 turtles in the
race, store coupons and a
commemorative T-shirt; a
$25 donation adopts a Snap
Pack -- five turtles in the race
and a commemorative Tshirt; and a $5 donation
adopts one turtle in the race.
Admission to Taco Bell
Turbo Turtle Trek is free.
The fairgrounds are located at 1055 N. State St.

faculty. Our faculty distributes
information (via paper or
online) to meet the students’
needs.”
K through 12
Families with school-aged
children will also be spending
more on back-to-school shopping this year than last, with the
average family spending $527,
up from $444 in 2005, according to the NRF. Of that amount,
the average consumer is expected to spend around $228 on
apparel, $98 on shoes, and $86
on school supplies such as notebooks, folders, pencils, backpacks and lunchboxes, according to the NRF. Total spending
for K-12 is estimated to reach
$17.6 billion, up from $13.4 billion last year.
Asked what it takes to purchase his school clothes, Fort
Bragg High School junior Cody
Robertson, loaded with shopping bags outside of Mervyn’s
on Wednesday, said: “A lot of
money.”
More precisely, his mother,
Sharla
Robertson,
said:
“Usually around $500 ... that’s
what it takes, and that’s with
one pair of shoes.”
The combined $54.2 billion
spent in the United States this
year for back-to-school and
back-to-college will rank second only to holiday spending,
according to the NRF.
For those who want to
learn how to reduce energy
bills, or wean themselves
from their gasoline vehicles,
there will be many opportunities to learn. Presenters in six
workshop areas will cover
topics from renewable energy
and post-petroleum preparation to yoga and health. More
than 60 workshops are free
with the price of admission.
In the lineup of panels and
speakers on the main stage,
people can hear the latest
news in alternative fuels, with
experts discussing pros and
cons of biodiesel, hydrogen,
ethanol and electric vehicles.
Experts will update you on the
latest breakthroughs in solar
and renewable energy technologies and policy. And
keynoting on the main stage
will be national political commentator Jim Hightower,
often called “America’s most
popular populist.”
In addition to Hightower,
this year attendees will also
hear Hollywood icon Ed
Begley Jr., activist Caroline
Casey, and Air America radio
host Betsy Rosenberg.
