Probation Dept. standards make for exclusive club
High standards result in
vacancies, according to
Chief Probation Officer

MCOE
McKinney-Vento Grant
will provide $345,000
over next three years
Wesley Forman.
Last month, the probation department promoted Jean Glentzer and
Bobbi Ryan to the position of probation division managers. These positions came open with the leaving of
John Weed and Trish Guntly.
The promotion of Glentzer and
Ryan leaves empty the deputy probation officer positions they once
filled. Vacancies in a department
already not operating at full strength.
The probation department is currently seven probation officers short
of having a full staff. Forman said
the probation department has been
pursuing active recruitment to fill
empty positions.
Recruitment is difficult because
work as a probation officer requires a
four-year degree or equivalent job
experience. Forman said some pro-
bation officers are hired from the
ranks of juvenile corrections counselors where they can gain the requisite job experience.
In the last recruitment drive, 12
candidates were found who might
work in the probation department
Forman said. In the last three rounds
of recruitment the probation department has hired only two deputy probation officers.

ALEX RORABAUGH GYMNASIUM-CULTURAL & REC CENTER
For the kids
Rorabaugh needs $800,000 to finish renovations that would be available to over 500 children
By ZACK SAMPSEL
The Daily Journal
This month the Alex
Rorabaugh
GymnasiumCultural & Recreational
Center is challenging the
community and local businesses to step up and help
raise $800,000 to finish its
much-needed gymnasium and
cultural center.
Once the buildings are finished, Fundraising Director
Zoe’Anna Thies said that
more than 500 children from
the local Boys and Girls Club
would be able to use the facilities immediately. Some of
the activities and programs
available for the students
includes ping pong, puzzles,
games, a pool table and even
etiquette classes. Thies said
they wanted a place that
would continue offering the
excellent,
well-structured
programs Ukiah parents
would want for their children.
“It really takes a community to raise a child,” Thies said.
“It’s an excellent opportunity
for the community and local
businesses to come together
and support a facility that will
without a doubt build and
establish a future for our
youth.”
Aside from supporting
Ukiah’s youth, the gymnasium and cultural center will
also offer classes for adults
throughout the day. Thies said
that when the cultural center
is open, a gymnasium full of
children playing and rooms
with adults learning and sharing would be a common sight.

The Mendocino County Office
of Education (MCOE) will
receive $115,000 per year for the
next three years as a recipient of
the McKinney-Vento Grant.
MCOE will be the LEA for the
project with both Ukiah and
Willits Unified School Districts
being a part of the consortium to
offer direct services to homeless
youth in Mendocino County.
“Our goal is to help break the
cycle of poverty and homelessness that these children experience by creating support systems
for school attendance and success,” said Abbey Kaufman, project coordinator in a written statement.
The McKinney-Vento Grant
was developed to ensure educational rights and protections for
the 2004-2005 school year.
However, there was service data
collected by the Health and
Human Services Agency (HHSA)
of Mendocino County that suggested that approximately 25 percent of the county’s homeless are
children and youth. According the
HHSA if that percentage is
applied to the about 5,300 homeless in the county, then there may
be more than 1,300 homeless children here in Mendocino County.
“There are about 149,000 students in California that I am sad to
say don’t have a place to call
home,” said State Superintendent
of Public Instruction, Jack
O’Connell in a written statement.
“We are obligated morally and
legally to help these kids and give
them a free education that we
hope one day will lift them out of
their unfortunate situation. These
grantees were selected because
they had the best plans to help
these students succeed in school.”
The
Mendocino
County
Children’s Center, located in
Willits, provides six beds and
shelter for youth between foster
placements. Representatives from
the HHSA’s departments of
Mental Health and Social
Services, Redwood Children’s
Services and the McKinney-Vento
Grant coordinator meet weekly to
review various services and
implement educational plans for
the homeless children and youth
residing at the shelter.
The new grant project includes
two areas of emphasis. The first
area has MCOE and its partners

Democrats blast Bush on oil royalties
East Bay congressman urges
House Appropriations
chairman to hold hearings
By JOSH RICHMAN
MediaNews Group
OAKLAND - An East Bay congressman and other Democrats blasted the Bush administration and the
House Resources Committee chaired by another local lawmaker on Thursday for letting oil companies rob taxpayers of billions in royalties.
Rep. George Miller, D-Martinez,
STORAGE
and six other Democrats sent letters
to committee chairman Richard
Pombo, R-Tracy, and to a House
Appropriations subcommittee chairman urging them to hold hearings on
the Interior Department's failure to
pursue the money.
The New York Times reported
Thursday that four government auditors who monitor leases for oil and
gas on federal property have sued,
claiming the Interior Department
quashed their efforts to recover
money due the public. This news
came atop lawmakers' previous concerns over royalty-free contracts and
PENSKE
oil companies' short payments.
“There have always been schemes
by various oil companies and gas
companies to reduce their royalty
payments and make nonpayments...
but this is really the first time we've
seen the federal government become
part of that scheme,” Miller charged
Thursday on a conference call with
reporters, noting Democrats' earlier
calls for an accounting went unheeded.
“What you see is a pattern of corruption” both within the private sector and in government, he said. “If
they keep acting like this, we're
going to have to get two sets of
handcuffs.”
But
Resources
Committee
spokesman Brian Kennedy said the
Democrats' cries are “shamelessly
and transparently political.”
Royalty-free leases were issued
by the Clinton administration in
1998 and 1999, he said, letting companies off the hook for billions ordinarily due the taxpayer. Pombo has
authored legislation to correct this
and force the oil companies to repay
$13 billion, Kennedy said, and the

Video shows 9/11
hijackers having
a few laughs
LONDON (AP) — More
than 18 months before they
carried out the worst terrorist
attack on U.S. soil, a new
videotape shows two of the
Sept. 11 hijackers laughing
and smiling for a camera.
Mohamed Atta and Ziad
Jarrah look much different in
the tape than they do in photographs made famous after
the attacks in New York and
Washington.
Both seem younger, are
bearded, and the infamously
bleak gaze of Atta, the ringleader, is replaced by a somewhat
softer
expression.
Osama bin Laden also appears
on the tape, speaking to a
large group of people in
January 2000.
The Sunday Times, which
originally reported on the
video and posted it on its Web
site, said the footage was
taken in Afghanistan and was
meant to be released after the
men’s deaths.
The
soundless
video
appears to be a departure from
previous releases by al-Qaida,
which is “normally, very professional in their media,” said
Paul Beaver, an independent
defense and security expert.
In wake of new
Woodward book,
Rumsfeld says he
won’t resign
MANAGUA, Nicaragua
(AP) — Defense Secretary
Donald H. Rumsfeld, coming
under renewed fire for his
management of the Iraq war,
said Sunday he is not considering resigning and said the
president had called him personally in recent days to
express his continued support.
Speaking to reporters en
route to Nicaragua for a meeting of defense ministers,
Rumsfeld said he was not surprised by reports in a new
book that White House staff
had encouraged President
Bush to fire him after the 2004
election.
“It’s the task of the chief of
staff of the White House —
and having been one, I know
that — to raise all kinds of
questions with the president
and think through different
ways of approaching things,”
Rumsfeld said. “So it wouldn’t surprise me a bit if that
subject had come up.”
In the new book “State of
Denial,” Washington Post
assistant managing editor Bob
Woodward writes that former
White House chief of staff
Andrew Card twice sought to
persuade Bush to fire
Rumsfeld.
Card on Friday did not dispute that he had talked about a
Rumsfeld resignation with the
president but said it was his
job to discuss a wide range of
possible replacements, including his own.
Shiite politicos
demand changes
in Baghdad
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) —
Shiite politicians demanded
changes in the Iraqi government Sunday, accusing a
Sunni Arab party in the coalition of ties to terrorism after a
bodyguard of its leader was
arrested on suspicion of planning bomb attacks.
The dispute threatened a
sectarian crisis within the
national unity government of
Prime Minister Nouri alMaliki, which is struggling to
contain spiraling Shiite-Sunni
killings that the U.S. ambassador said have surpassed
Sunni insurgent attacks in
deadliness.
After the bodyguard’s
arrest, an unprecedented surprise curfew was imposed on
udj@pacific.net
The Ukiah Daily Journal
Baghdad on Saturday, preventing pedestrians as well as
vehicle traffic. The curfew
was lifted early Sunday.
At least 23 people were
killed in violence Sunday, and
21 bodies were found in
Baghdad or to the south, many
of them bound and tortured. In
the evening, gunmen burst
into a frozen food factory in
Baghdad, kidnapping 24
workers and wounding two
others — similar to past
attacks in which militants
have picked out members of
the opposing sect from among
the captives and killed them.
Feds worry mob
might work with
terror groups
WASHINGTON (AP) —
The FBI’s top counterterrorism official harbors lots of
concerns: weapons of mass
destruction, undetected homegrown terrorists and the possibility that old-fashioned mobsters will team up with alQaida for the right price.
Though there is no direct
evidence yet of organized
crime collaborating with terrorists, the first hints of a connection surfaced in a recent
undercover FBI operation.
Agents stopped a man with
alleged mob ties from selling
missiles to an informant posing as a terrorist middleman.
That case and other factors
are heightening concerns
about a real-life episode of the
Sopranos
teaming
with
Osama bin Laden’s followers.
“We are continuing to look
for a nexus,” said Joseph Billy
Jr., the FBI’s top counterterrorism official. “We are looking at this very aggressively.”
The new strategy involves
an analysis of nationwide
criminal investigations, particularly white collar crime,
side by side with intelligence
and terrorist activity.
White House,
Democrats probe
Foley e-mails
WASHINGTON (AP) —
The White House and
Democratic
leaders
in
Congress called Sunday for a
criminal probe into former
Rep. Mark Foley’s electronic
messages to teenage boys — a
lurid scandal that has put
House Republicans in political peril.
White House counselor
Dan Bartlett called the allegations against Foley shocking.
He said President Bush hadn’t
learned of Foley’s inappropriate e-mails to a 16-year-old
boy and instant messages to
other boys before the news
broke last week.
Bartlett said House leaders
were pursuing the matter
aggressively enough that an
independent outside investigation was not warranted.
“There is going to be, I’m
sure, a criminal investigation
into the particulars of this
case,” he said. “We need to
make sure that the page system is one in which children
come up here and can work
and make sure that they are
protected.”
Foley,
R-Fla.,
quit
Congress on Friday after the
disclosure of the e-mails he
sent to a former congressional
page and sexually suggestive
instant messages he sent to
other high school pages.
Iranian leader
determined to get
more uranium
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) —
Iran’s president on Sunday
said his country was determined to expand its uranium
enrichment program and
called allegations Tehran was
seeking nuclear weapons a
“big lie.”
Speaking to professors at
Tehran University, President
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said
Iran hopefully will increase its
enrichment program to produce nuclear fuel. The president has repeatedly rejected
calls by the United States and
its allies to stop enrichment.
“Allegations or charges by
the United States than Iran is
seeking nuclear weapons is a
big lie,” Ahmadinejad said
during his speech, which was
broadcast on state-run television.
The process of uranium
enrichment can be used to
produce electricity or to build
nuclear weapons depending
on the level of enrichment.
The U.S. alleges Iran is seeking to build nuclear weapons,
but Iran contends that its
nuclear program is for peaceful purposes.
Ahmadinejad said in his
speech that Iran hopefully will
install up to 100,000 centrifuges to process uranium
gas for enrichment in order to
produce nuclear fuel and said
the Islamic Republic has no
plans to suspend enrichment,
not even for a day.
S.C. man charged with
killing wife, four children
By BRUCE SMITH
The Associated Press
NORTH CHARLESTON,
S.C. — A man was charged
Sunday with murdering his
wife and her four children in a
domestic dispute at their
home, authorities said.
Michael Simmons, 41,
appeared at a bond hearing via
video
link
from
the
Charleston County jail on
Sunday and was ordered held
without bond on five counts of
murder.
Officers discovered the
bodies, including that of a 6year-old, on Saturday after a
witness saw the bodies in the
home and called police,
according to a police affidavit.
Simmons was captured as he
tried to drive from the scene.
The victims had been shot
with a handgun sometime
between 3 a.m. and 5:45 a.m.,
the affidavit said. Simmons
was not the children’s father,
Charleston County Coroner
Rae Wooten said.
Simmons and Detra Rainey
Simmons had been married
for more than a year, authorities and her relatives said.
“This appears to have been
a domestic situation that
turned deadly,” said Spencer
Pryor, a North Charleston
police spokesman.
Melba Rainey Thompson
said her sister worked at a
hospital, was attending nursing school and was undergoing the second phase of
chemotherapy for colon cancer.
“Her children were always
there for her to comfort her
when she went through the
pain,” Thompson said.
The coroner had earlier
identified the victims as Detra
Rainey, 39, and her children
William Rainey, 16, Hakiem
Rainey,
13,
Malachia
Robinson, 8, and Samenia
Robinson, 6. Rainey Simmons
had a fifth child, 21-year-old
Christan,
who
attends
Southern
University
in
Louisiana, relatives said.
The family belonged to St.
Andrews Episcopal Mission,
where the children attended
vacation Bible school and
sang in the choir, relatives
said.
“Words can’t express the
impact this has had on our
family,”
relative
Gene
Fanning said at the bond hearing. “It’s a devastating loss.
We want him held fully
accountable for his actions.”
Fanning said later that
Simmons was disabled and
unemployed.
The jail did not have any
attorney information for
Simmons.
Monique Singleton, who
lives across the street in the
subdivision of about two
dozen mobile homes, said that
four children lived in the
home and that her children
occasionally played with
them.
“They were nice people;
they seemed fine,” she said.
Fisherman found
after 24 hours in
Atlantic Ocean
Spinach growers take stock
JACKSONVILLE,
Fla.
(AP) — A man who decided
to swim to safety after the
boat he was on capsized about
15 miles offshore was rescued
Sunday after spending 24
hours in the Atlantic Ocean,
the U.S. Coast Guard said. His
four fishing companions also
were rescued.
Clinton Daughtry, 27, was
pulled from the water by an
Air Force helicopter shortly
after noon about 5 miles east
of Mayport, Coast Guard
Petty Officer Donnie Brzuska
said.
The man, who was wearing
a life jacket, had hypothermia
and was flown to a
Jacksonville hospital, Brzuska
said. He is expected to survive.
The five men were fishing
in a 17-foot pleasure boat
when it began taking on water
and capsized about 11 a.m.
Saturday, Brzuska said.

MySpace blogger
ATHENS, Ga. (AP) —
Authorities are searching for
whoever posted a long list and
description of supposed sexual encounters between dozens
of high school students on the
online
networking
site
MySpace.com.
Oconee County Sheriff’s
officials said they were investigating who posted the gossip
about North Oconee High
School students Sept. 1-9.
Since gossip isn’t a crime, the
sheriff’s report lists the
offense
as
distributing
obscene materials to minors.
The list describes sexual
encounters and could be
accessed by people younger
than 18.
“There’s a lot of difference
between writing on a bathroom wall and distributing it
all over the world on the
Internet where anyone has
access to it,” Lt. David
Kilpatrick told the Athens
Banner-Herald for a story
published Sunday.
Students argued with one
another, disrupting classes,
when most found out about
the MySpace blog, said principal John Osborne.
Kilpatrick
said
that
MySpace gave him the e-mail
address of the person who created the site, but that it was an
anonymous Yahoo account.
He said he would subpoena
BellSouth, the Internet service
provider used to create the email address, to try to determine who paid for the Internet
service.
SAN FRANCISCO —
Relieved farmers say they are
heartened by the government’s announcement that it’s
safe to eat most spinach, but
they feel uneasy about their
industry’s future, knowing it
may take time to win back
public confidence.
During the two-week warning about E. coli in fresh
spinach, growers said they reexamined the safety of their
operations, anguished over the
suffering of the 187 people
sickened and one who died,
and weathered significant
losses as they watched crops
go to waste.
“Everybody’s just trying to
regroup,” said Teresa Thorne,
with industry group Alliance
for Food and Farming.
It’s too early to tell how
hard the industry was hit, but
agriculture experts said
unprecedented
economic
damage was likely.
In California, where threequarters of all domestically
grown spinach is harvested,
farmers could endure up to
$74 million in losses, accord-

ing to researchers working
with Western Growers, which
represents produce farmers in
California and Arizona.
Last year’s spinach crop in
California was valued at
$258.3 million, and each acre
lost amounts to a roughly
$3,500 hit for the farmer.
The government gave a
partial endorsement to the
industry on Friday, with the
U.S.
Food
and
Drug
Administration announcing
that most spinach is now “as
safe as it was before this
event.”
But the warning remains in
place for spinach recalled by
Natural Selection Foods LLC
of San Juan Bautista, which
covered 34 brands in packages with “Best if Used By”
dates between Aug. 17 and
Oct. 1.
Growers on California’s
Central Coast have another
four or five weeks to harvest
before shutting down for the
winter, when spinach production moves to the southern
valleys and Arizona.
Because they stagger plantings to allow for an uninterrupted supply, many growers
still have young greens maturing. When California Farm
Bureau officials visited the
Salinas Valley on Friday to
meet with farmers, they found
fields of overgrown spinach,
too big for the processors who
had ordered them under contract, farm bureau spokesman
Dave Kranz said.
“Farmers are just waiting to
see if they’ll have orders,”
Kranz said.
Growers are trying to salvage what they can of their
crops, but many say a loss of
public confidence is the
biggest threat to the industry.
Before the E. coli outbreak,
health-conscious Americans
had driven up demand for
spinach in salads and other
healthy meals.
California farmers have
more than doubled the amount
of acres dedicated to spinach
to keep up with consumption,
from 15,000 acres in 2001 to
31,000 in 2005, with much of
the growth being driven by
demand for packaged spinach.
Some farmers worry that
consumers will now look
askance at the convenient
bagged spinach.

Theater at River Oak Charter School
By ADAM T. WILLIAMS
Second grade teacher
The use of theater is one of the
many ways in which teachers bring
the curriculum to life at River Oak
Charter School. Parents have the
opportunity to see their children on
stage every year in the class play, and
when opportunities arise to see productions outside of the school, class
field trips are arranged in order to
broaden the experiences of the pupils.
Starting in kindergarten, the children use puppets to weave stories of
fantasy, enchantment and magic,
which they then reenact to the delight
of their parents. As the children and
their teacher move up through the
grades the play concepts, stage
designs, choreography, costumes and
scripts become more and more intricate. The academic theme of the year
for each grade is captured and then
given life anew as the children often
become the very characters they are
studying in the classroom.
Last year’s first grade class performed an original play that I wrote
based on a made-up bedtime story
from my own childhood called The
Blue Fairies of Montgomery Wood,
which we performed on location in
Montgomery Woods. This story is
about a boy and a girl who get lost in
the forest looking for the tallest tree
in the world. This production was a
lot of fun to make, and I have photos
here to share.
By the time students reach the seventh grade it is a tradition at our
school for them to journey to Ashland,
Oregon, where they can see professional renditions of some of the
world’s finest plays. This year’s seventh grade class is no exception. Lori

No on slaughterhouse
To the Editor:
The arrival of a slaughterhouse in our
rural community of Ukiah will not only
bring irreversible environmental effects,
but will impact our community socially, as
well. According to M.J. Broadway of
Northern Michigan University’s
Department of Geography, “protecting the
environment and ensuring that basic human
needs are met is better for a community
and its workforce than having changes
thrust upon it by an industry whose only
interest is in maximizing profits.” (Journal
of Rural Studies, Planning for Change in
Small Towns or Trying to Avoid the
Slaughterhouse Blues, Jan. 2000, 16:1:3746)
“The social benefits of slaughterhouses,
mainly economic strength and liveliness, in
no such way outweigh a slaughterhouse’s
economic costs and potential public and
environmental health risks associated with
the storage and disposal of animal manure
(excrement and urine).” This according to
University of California Davis’ Veterinary
Medicine Teaching and Research Center.
Livestock manure carries a great amount of
health risks, including harmful bacteria,
parasites, and disease.
Infection directly associated with
slaughterhouses has the ability to travel
and contaminate our community in a variety of routes. According to UC Davis’
research analysis, “Human infection could
result from direct exposure of humans to
infective manure, such as occupational
exposure of farm employees, veterinarians,
or slaughterhouse employees. Microbial
risks can occur if humans ingest water
which has been contaminated with (waste),
or if humans ingest unprocessed foods such
as fresh vegetables which have been irrigated with water contaminated with infected (waste products).” Possibly the effects
of water contamination will remind you of
the recent E. coli spinach debacle that has
consumers running scared.
As if detrimental environmental effects
and food and water contamination are not
enough, consider this: Those individuals
who currently live near slaughterhouses
witness first-hand not only the inhumane
delivery of animals delivered in large
trucks which leave behind a stench of their
own (just follow behind a truck full of animals awaiting their demise), but also the
aftermath of an animal’s slaughter, including the stench of blood, rotting animal carcasses, excrement, boiled bones, and rotting skins, which will only add to the
stench and pollution associated with
slaughterhouses. This added pollution to
our community does not and will not outweigh the economic advantages of a
slaughterhouse in Ukiah, or the surrounding areas of Mendocino County.

System not much help
MORTON KONDRACKE
Democrats don’t
need ‘contract’?
to be unemployed?
Webster’s dictionary states: Function:
adjective, not employed: a: not being used
b: not engaged in a gainful occupation c:
not invested. I am unemployed, but not
according to the state of California.
According to them in order for me to be
considered unemployed I must be ready,
willing and able to work. I must be actively
seeking work. I must be willing to accept
work in my field even at a lower rate of
pay. I am unemployed, but not according to
the Employment Development Department
of California.
They say that because I am a full time
student I am neither willing or able to
work. That I can’t possibly look for work,
and that it’s highly unlikely that I would
accept work for less.
Now I realize that there are programs
out there to aid people in need. I also know
that there are certain criteria that must be
met. However it seems to me that the system is prejudiced against men. If I were a
woman, or a single mother, or better yet a
minority single mother, the system would
do back flips to accommodate my needs.
But a man, even a married man with a family to support, is still a man who can go get
a job.
I was denied unemployment benefits
because I am a full time student. I was also
denied financial aid for school because I
made too much money last year. And lastly,
I was shut out of education programs
because I am a man.
What would you do if you were me?
Would you surrender to the system? Go get
yet another dead end job and disappear into
mediocrity? I think not. I will do whatever
I must do to achieve this goal that I have
set. Not for myself, but for my wife and
my kids.
Do I think the system does good? Of
course I do. Do I think it could use a good
overhaul? You bet I do. But I’m just one
person, angry at a system that has failed
him.
So in closing let me say this. Though I
may not be “unemployed” I am gainfully
employed in the pursuit of my education.
And with the support of my family, an a lot
of hard work. I will succeed, in spite of the
system.

To the Editor:
When you hear the word “unemployment” most people think of sitting at home,
collecting a check from the government
and not doing much else.
Having never been without work for any
length of time, and never having to collect
unemployment before myself, this was in
my opinion how things worked.
I’m a worker. I like to think that I’m a
good husband and father with good ethics
and a strong sense of dedication to my
family. So when I found myself unemployed for the first time in nearly 18 years
I knew I wouldn’t be able to sit back and

The League has vigorously supported

which place realistic limits on campaign

key to winning.
The League hopes that California will
join the states of Connecticut, Maine,

It won’t go away
To the Editor:
Dane Wilkins is right when he says that
medical marijuana will not go away
(“Decade of Prop. 215,” Sept. 25).
Regardless of the wrongheaded and legally
silly suit by San Diego and other counties
that object to medical marijuana, science
keeps proving its value. Most recently,
researchers at UC San Francisco reported
that medical marijuana gave a big assist to
treatment for hepatitis C, boosting cure
rates an astonishing 300 percent.
It’s sad, however, to see the Mendocino
County Sheriff’s Office putting out absurd
statements such as the claim that an average marijuana plant produces a pound of
useable marijuana. Such figures are
obtained by including the stalks, stems, and
other parts of the plant which have no
medicinal (or recreational) value. The actual yield from a well-tended plant is likely
to be no more than four ounces of useable
medicine, and often less.
Exaggerated claims like the Sheriff’s are
used to frighten people, and do not add to
the needed public dialogue about a medicine whose value is becoming more widely
recognized every day.

The 12th anniversary of the Republicans' 1994
"Contract with America" came and went on Wednesday without a 2006 Democratic counterpart. And there
won't be one.
Instead, Democratic House and Senate leaders held
yet another press conference to denounce the Republican Congress' "rubberstamping the Bush administration's misguided agenda."
Despite repeated urging from various quarters,
including from former President Bill Clinton, that the
party needs to make clear what it stands for and not just
against, Democrats contend that off-year elections are
referenda on the party in power and that a Democratic
alternative agenda would only provide targets for the
GOP to attack.
Still, it's a fact that then-House Minority Leader
Newt Gingrich, R-Ga., gathered 337 GOP members
and candidates on the West Front of the Capitol on
Sept. 27, 1994, and issued a 10-plank platform that
included welfare reform, a balanced-budget constitutional amendment, tort reform, Defense budget
increases, middle-class tax cuts and term limits for
members of Congress.
It's undoubtedly true that the GOP won the election
largely because of disgust with Democratic management -- the failure of Clinton's healthcare reform plan
and Congressional scandals -- but the contract did provide a legislative roadmap for the GOP once it won a
52-seat victory and had to help govern the country.
This year, Democrats have issued a two-page positive agenda, "New Direction for America," but there's
been no Capitol steps rally, and the document has all
the earmarks of being just a handout designed to be an
answer to the question, "But what do Democrats stand
for?".
Separately, Democratic Congressional Campaign
Committee Chairman Rahm Emanuel (Ill.) has cowritten a 200-page book, "The Plan," with a former
Clinton White House colleague, Bruce Reed, which
does lay out a positive agenda; although it, too, is
loaded with anti-Bush invective and is short on bipartisan outreach.
The book's "big ideas for America" include "universal citizen service" that calls for all Americans between
18 and 25 to spend three months learning civil defense
procedures, "universal child health care" coverage and
"universal retirement savings" that requires all
employers to offer 401(k) plans to their workers.
The book also advances Emanuel's tax reform plan,
introduced with Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., that calls for
reducing the number of tax brackets from six to three,
guaranteeing that all families with incomes under
$100,000 pay only a 10 percent rate and taxing capital
gains and dividends at the earner's income tax rate -- an
increase from 15 percent to, presumably, 35 percent for
high-bracket earners.
Emanuel and Wyden also want to eliminate the
Alternative Minimum Tax, institute a corporate flat-tax
rate of 35 percent and create a base closing-style commission to eliminate corporate tax loopholes. The total
package, Emanuel says, could reduce the budget
deficit by $100 billion over 10 years.
Emanuel's book also calls for massive research
efforts and tax credits for the purchase of hybrid cars to
cut gasoline consumption in half over 10 years and
reduce global warming. And it calls for tax credits to
make college and/or advanced skills training affordable for all. You get little sense from the book that if
Democrats did win control of the House or Senate,
their margins would be so narrow they'd have to get
GOP support to pass anything. Emanuel told me in an
interview, "I believe in bipartisanship, but his administration makes it impossible. They reject all our ideas."
Emanuel is making no public predictions about the
outcome in November, just saying, "I'd rather be in our
situation than theirs," and disputing GOP claims that
they will have a money and get-out-the-vote advantage. Emanuel clearly thinks his party needs a positive
message this year -- otherwise he would not have written the book -- but he told me that 2006 is still shaping
up to be a "normal" off-year "referendum" election.
The exceptions were 1998, when the GOP was set to
impeach Clinton and Democrats gained five seats, and
the 2002 post-terrorism election, when the GOP picked
up eight seats.
The average midterm loss for the party controlling
the White House from 1974 through 1994 is nearly 26
seats. Eliminating the GOP's post-Watergate 49-seat
drubbing, the average is 21. Factoring in the post-2000
Census gerrymandering of seats, Democrats would
seem to be just on the edge of the 15 seats they need to
take the House.
A positive message of purpose -- saying where
they'd lead instead of just how much trouble they'd
inflict on Bush -- could push them over the top. Maybe
Democrats don't need a Contract, but they could use a
plan.

Bill to create new California LA gives away
wilderness goes to president 3,000 trees
By ERICA WERNER
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON
-Legislation to protect more
than 273,000 acres of
wilderness in Northern
California passed the Senate
Friday and went to President
Bush for his signature. It
will be the biggest federal
wilderness designation in
the state in more than a
decade.
Years in the making, the
Northern California Coastal
Wild Heritage Act will protect some of the most remote
and beautiful landscapes in
California, including a long
stretch of undeveloped
beach and coastal bluffs in
Humboldt and Mendocino
counties.
The bill, which passed the
House in July, is a compromise between two California
congressmen, Rep. Mike
Thompson, a Democrat, and
House Resources Committee
Chairman Richard Pombo, a
Republican. It also has the
support of most local government officials.
Pombo, who has been
suspicious of wilderness
designations, allowed the
legislation through his committee in part because it
includes
approximately
51,000 acres as a “recreation
management area” for offhighway vehicles and mountain bikes. The bill also
would designate 21 miles of
the Black Butte River in
California’s North Coast as
“wild and scenic river,” a
federal protected status.
Environmental
groups
celebrated the Senate’s
approval of the bill, which
Bush is expected to sign.
It would be the first federal wilderness area in
California since passage of
the Big Sur Wilderness and
Conservation Act of 2002,
and the largest since the
California Desert Protection
Act of 1994.
“This is an incredible day
for California and for all
America. They have just
sent a bill to the president’s
desk that would protect over
270,000 acres of some of
our nation’s most spectacular scenery, and it is a gift to
future generations,” said Jon
Owen, a government affairs
representative at Campaign
for America’s Wilderness.
Areas protected in the bill
include King Range, the
longest stretch of undeveloped coastline in the contiguous
United
States;
Cache Creek, home to the
second-largest
wintering
bald eagle population in
California; and portions of
Eel River, which hosts 30
percent to 50 percent of the
state’s endangered summerrun steelhead trout.
“Northern California’s
natural beauty is an essential
part of our state identity,”
said Sen. Barbara Boxer, DCalif. “I am thrilled that
Congress has acted to protect some of California’s
great wild places for our
children and grandchildren.”
Agreement sets stage for Rocky
Flats’ next life -- wildlife refuge
By JUDITH KOHLER
The Associated Press
DENVER -- An agreement
signed Friday declaring
Rocky Flats ready to be
removed from the Superfund
sets the stage for the bulk of
the former nuclear weapons
plant to be turned into a
national wildlife refuge.The
$7 billion cleanup of the
6,200-acre site 16 miles northwest of Denver was completed last year, years and billions
of dollars short of original
projections. The record of
decision signed by the
Department of Energy, the
Environmental
Protection
Agency and Colorado officials signals that the area is
considered cleaned up and not
a danger to the public and
environment, said Frazer
Lockhart, manager of the
DOE’s Rocky Flats office.
The next steps are approval
of a plan detailing the DOE’s
long-term monitoring and
management of the 1,600-acre
core where plutonium triggers
were produced for nuclear
weapons and the transfer of
about 4,900 acres to the
Department of Interior to
manage as a wildlife refuge.
“This really marks the end
of the regulatory process for
the cleanup of the site,”
Lockhart said.
The EPA must agree to
remove Rocky Flats from its
Superfund list before the land
can be managed as a wildlife
refuge. Lockhart said the
transfer to the Interior
Department likely will happen
early next year.
“We don’t really see any
technical barriers to that,”
Lockhart said.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, which released a conservation plan for the site in
2005, has said it will be a few
years before any of the
planned trails and facilities are
open to the public.
Rep. Mark Udall, D-Colo.,
and Sen. Wayne Allard, RColo., sponsored the legislation to turn the former bomb
plant into a wildlife refuge.
“This effort stands as a
model to the nation on how
we can, with determination,
collaboration and innovation,
reclaim areas that have been
impacted by weapons production and industrial use,” Udall
said.
Allard noted that the DOE
originally estimated the
cleanup could take up 60
years and cost $35 billion. He
said cooperation among state
and federal agencies, activists
and the surrounding communities greatly accelerated the
cleanup by private contractor
Kaiser-Hill and the transformation from “weapons to
wildlife.”
“Together we have made
the impossible possible,”
Allard said.
In nearly four decades,
some 70,000 plutonium triggers for nuclear bombs were
made at Rocky Flats.
Production was halted in 1989
because of chronic safety
problems, prompting a raid by
FBI agents.
The Cold War ended before
production could resume. In
1993, the DOE announced
that the facility’s mission was
over.
State and federal regulators
signed an agreement in 1996
on the cleanup, including
demolition of what was
dubbed “the most dangerous
building in America” because
of leaks, spills and a fire that
drove radiation levels off the
charts.
Thousands of acres of open
space buffered the industrial
complex made up of about
800 buildings.
High-level
radioactive
waste was shipped to the
Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in
New Mexico and less contaminated waste was sent to sites
in Utah and Nevada. Some of
the structures were reduced to
rubble and buried beneath
several feat of earth.
In 2000, Allard and Udall
announced their plan to turn
most of the land into a national wildlife refuge. The Fish
and Wildlife Service says the
Mars orbiter sends detailed
surface images of Red Plane
The Associated Press
PASADENA, Calif. -- A
spacecraft equipped with the
highest-resolution
camera
ever to orbit Mars has begun
sending highly detailed
images of a giant canyon on
the Red Planet’s surface,
NASA said Friday.
The first image taken by
the Mars Reconnaissance
Orbiter’s powerful camera
from low altitude shows rocks
and features as small as armchairs, the space agency’s Jet
Propulsion Laboratory said in
a statement.
“We are elated at the sharpness of the image, revealing
such fine detail in the landscape,” said Alfred McEwen
of the University of Arizona,
Tucson, principal investigator
for the camera dubbed
“HiRISE,” short for High
Resolution Imaging Science
Experiment.
The camera’s target area
includes part of the Valles
Marineris, a canyon so huge
that on Earth it would stretch
from California to New York.
The Mars Reconnaissance
Orbiter went into orbit around
Mars on March 10. Its camera
previously sent back test
images, but from much higher
altitudes. The craft is now flying in a nearly circular orbit
ranging in altitude from 155
miles to 196 miles above the
surface. The camera is among
several instruments the orbiter
carries.
The mission is managed by
JPL in Pasadena.
tall-grass prairie in the buffer,
relatively undisturbed for
about 40 years, is home to a
mule deer herd, elk, coyotes,
the Western painted turtle and
several species of birds.
The site is also considered
habitat for the threatened
Preble’s meadow jumping
mouse.
Critics have said questioned the thoroughness of the
cleanup and don’t think the
public should ever be allowed
on the site.
“Clearly, we need to make
sure the site’s cleanup components are adequately secured
and monitored,” Udall said.
The DOE will maintain
control over 1,600 acres to run
treatment systems for plumes
of contaminated groundwater
and do monitoring.
The government is negotiating to acquire private mineral rights on the land.

LOS ANGELES -- City
officials gave away 3,000
trees to homeowners Saturday
to kickoff a multiyear initiative that aims to plant a million new trees in Los Angeles.
Mayor
Antonio
Villaraigosa
officially
launched the program in
Hazard Park in Boyle
Heights, flanked by celebrities involved in environmental
causes, including Angelica
Huston, Julia Louis-Dreyfus
and Ed Begley Jr.
“Los Angeles, the dirtiest
big city in America, has the
opportunity to be the greenest,” Villaraigosa said, referring to recent reports that the
city has the nation’s smoggiest air. He wore a T-shirt displaying the campaign’s slogan
“Live for Today, Plant for
Tomorrow.”
The coast live oaks,
sycamores and Chinese flame
trees were distributed at various locations across the city.
Villaraigosa promised the
initiative during the 2005
mayor’s race. Officials hope
government grants and private
donations will cover the estimated $70 million cost.
Council President on
Saturday
Eric
Garcetti
promised to see that 100,000
trees are planted in his district.
Councilman Jose Huizar, in

Rare desert fish appears
to make comeback
in Devil’s Hole
The Associated Press
LAS VEGAS -- Federal
wildlife officials say the population of Devil’s Hole pupfish appears to be rebounding.
After an all-time low count
in April of 38 pupfish in the
water-filled limestone cave
near Ash Meadows National
Wildlife Refuge, biologists
counted 85 of the rare desert
fish on Sept. 23, officials
announced Friday.
Devil’s Hole, 90 miles
northwest of Las Vegas, is the
only place on the planet that
this population of pupfish is
known to exist in the wild.
The increased count means
the fragile population appears
to be growing two years after
a mishap involving fish traps
killed about one-third of the
population. It also comes two
months after snails infested
isolated reserve populations at
a man-made habitat in the
refuge and in a spring-fed
concrete tank near Hoover
Dam.
“We’re not out of the
woods yet, if you will,” said
Bob Williams, Nevada’s field
supervisor for the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service.
“Eighty-five is still below
where we’d like to be,” he
said. “We’d like numbers to
be 200 to 250.”
The higher figures are
close to what divers routinely
had been counting at Devil’s
Hole in the years before a
flash flood on Sept. 11, 2004,
washed a tub of glass fish
traps into the hole, killing off
80 pupfish, or about one-third
of the population at the time.
As for the continued work
on propagating new stocks in
captivity at Willow Beach
National Fish Hatchery on
Lake Mohave, Williams said
there has been “limited success.”
Four Devil’s Hole pupfish
larvae that were hatched at the
Willow Beach facility have
survived to the juvenile stage,
he said.
“While this is a limited
success in the rearing of
Devil’s Hole pupfish in captivity, it is one step closer to
successful recruitment of
adult fish,” federal wildlife
officials said in a prepared
statement late Thursday.
As for the preserves, or
refugia, that were affected by
snails, Williams said both the
Hoover Dam tank and the
Point of Rocks habitat in Ash
Meadows have been cleaned
out and rehabilitated.

The Associated Press
HOPE, Ark. — Nearly
10,000 emergency housing
trailers that were intended to
be sent to the Gulf Coast to
help Hurricane Katrina victims have been freed up for
other uses.
The Federal Emergency
Management Agency parked
the trailers at Hope Municipal
Airport in the months following the hurricane. The agency
came under criticism when
the trailers sat empty.
FEMA officials said that
regulations against placing the
homes in flood plains prevented their use on the Gulf Coast.

spending bill that included a
provision allowing FEMA to

The month-long contest

are tax deductible, this isn’t
just a challenge without
rewards.
All donations of at least
$2,000 will be commemorated
with tile at the gymnasium

just the $2,000 donation,
recognition is given donations

Sen. Mark Pryor, D-Ark.,
said he would prefer that the
homes had gone to hurricane
victims as originally intended,
but selling or donating them to
cities or community groups
was better than letting them sit
unused.
“Allowing the homes to sit
and deteriorate at the airport is
an abuse of taxpayer funding
and should not be an option,”
Pryor said in a statement.
Pryor and Rep. Mike Ross,
D-Ark., sponsored the measures in their respective chambers before the provision went
to a conference committee.
Sen. Tim Johnson, D-S.D.,
added the option to convey the
trailers to Indian tribes.
“I am proud that the 9,778
fully furnished manufactured
homes sitting in Hope,
Arkansas, may finally be put
to good use,” Ross said.
“These are the kind of commonsense
solutions
the
American taxpayers expect
and deserve.”
FEMA was directed to
work with the Department of
Interior to transfer the trailers
to tribes, depending on need.
Indian housing has been a
problem
for
decades.
According to a 2003 survey,
an estimated 200,000 housing

The Associated Press
LAS VEGAS — Several
Las Vegas nightclubs are
turning to the MySpace
Internet community to attract
female guests — and in the
process draw in more male
patrons, too.
“It’s like moths to a
flame,” said Body English
club promotions director
Jack Lafleur. “Moths being
the guys and girls being the
flame. We want as much fire
as possible.”
MySpace, the most popular U.S. Web site and a cultural juggernaut claiming
more than 100 million members, is the social hub for
most Americans younger
than 25.
That’s why Tao, Pure, Jet,
Club Rio, Tryst, ghostbar,
Body English, Tangerine,
Tabu, Studio 54, Drai’s and
VooDoo Lounge all maintain
MySpace profiles.
These clubs join thousands
of businesses nationwide —
including clothing companies, movie studios, and
radio and TV stations —
using MySpace to directly
target the youth market.
“When I was told about it
two-and-a-half years ago, I
figured it was just a sneaky
way to create yet another
online dating service,”
Lafleur said. “Clearly, I was
wrong. We use MySpace for
both Rehab and Body
English and we’re able to get
the word out to over 12,000
people of any special events
we may have going on.”
Tao Las Vegas’ owner and
operating partner Jason
Strauss said the web space

objection of three of the
Democrats who penned
Thursday's letter.
The full House passed it a
week later, with all seven of
Thursday's
signatories
opposed, he added. The
Senate has yet to act.
“To accuse Chairman
Pombo of ‘silence and inaction’ on this problem is
patently absurd on its face,
especially given their public
record of opposition to solving it,” Kennedy said, noting
the Democrats provided the
letters to the press before the
actual recipients received it.

way to communicate with a
very targeted group of people.”
MySpace generates an
average of 200 requests to be
added to his VIP list every
night, he said.
“But where the value really comes is when we have a
last-minute event or guest DJ
we’re trying to promote,” he
said. “We get a response from
it immediately, because people are on MySpace all the
time.”
MySpace — founded in
2003 by a team of Los
Angeles-based programmers
and purchased last year for
$580 million by media mogul
Rupert Murdoch — is a marketer’s dream because its
database can be searched
according to age, gender and
location.
At last check, MySpace
states that it has over 100
million members around the
world.
“I (search for) an age
range of 21 to 35, and a 50mile range from the club I’m
promoting,” said Las Vegas
promoter Linsie McNamee,
whose current MySpace page
advertises the list she oversees at the dance club Ice.
“Then I’ll skim each page to
make sure it’s someone who
might be interested.”
MySpace even publicly
lists the birthdays it requires
members to provide.
“We like to invite people
in during the week of their
birthday for a few drinks on
us,” said Lafleur, who
acknowledged that the
majority of his invitees are
young females.
Since
MySpace
is
designed for social interaction, businesses must create a
profile by picking a gender
and age. These “people”
attempt to get potential customers to add them as
N.Y., told reporters Thursday
that Democrats want to pass
legislation requiring that
companies either agree to
renegotiate their no-royalty
contracts, or be denied all
future oil and gas contracts.
“Congress has failed to
oversee the corrupt activities
of this administration,” he
charged,
insisting
the
Interior Department clearly
is “in bed with” the oil companies to reap “a product that
is owned by the American
people - they have a right
under the law to royalties.”
Rep. Jim Moran, D-Va.,
said it seems unlikely the
issue will be addressed
before its Sept. 29 recess.
Perhaps, though, it can be
dealt with after the midterm
elections, in the lame-duck
session starting Nov. 15.
“friends.”
A friend request from the
MySpace member “Tao Las
Vegas” recently was illustrated with a photo of Ryan
Wahrenbrock, a Best Agency
model whose comely blond
image pops up in one’s
“friend request” box.
Not only did the request
not come from Wahrenbrock,
however, it may not have
come from a real person.
Software applications called
“friend bots” have emerged
to automate and expedite the
process.
These programs — with
names such as FriendBot
Adder, Friend Fetch and
MyFriendBot — cost $20$300 to download.
And they e-mail “personal” notes to all targets who
approve the friend request,
thanking them for the addition.
Lafleur said Body English
doesn’t use friend bots.
Strauss, however, acknowledged that Tao’s 27,844
friends were accumulated
with the use of “special programs” that are “obviously a
trade secret.”
MySpace is reportedly trying to thwart bot programs
with security measures and
cease-and-desist letters to
their distributors.
While the spokeswoman
for the Santa Monica, Calif.based company declined to
comment directly on the
problem, she did express
concern about the exploitation of what is intended to be
a social and creative community.
“The point of MySpace is
to grow a community in an
organic way,” a MySpace
spokeswoman
said.
“Anything that takes away
from that community, instead
of adding to it, is a problem
we’re trying to address.”

Tuesday, Oct. 3, 2006
That to which you aspire
will have an excellent
chance of being achieved in
the year ahead, owing to the
fact you’ll be more pragmatic than you’ve been in the
past. And you will now take
measures to make your
dreams realities.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.
23) -- Be extremely selective regarding individuals
with whom you choose to
socialize. If you should get
mixed up with the wrong
people, it could turn into a
very negative experience.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
22) -- Your image could be a
trifle fragile, so be extra
mindful of your behavior
when out among those who
are important to you. Do
nothing that would provide
fodder for your detractors.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.
23-Dec. 21) -- Associates
could have a stronger influence on your thinking than
you usually permit. If you
link up with negative pals,
you may view the world
with a sour note.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19) -- Teaming up with
others in an arrangement
where an investment may be
required on your part might
not be the best thing for you
to do. Be sure to test the
waters before jumping in.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 19) -- Independence is
an admirable quality, but
you could have a tendency
to carry it to extremes.
When cooperation is called
for, don’t try to be a lone
Graham Greene (1904-1991), novelist; Don
McLean (1945-), singer/songwriter, is 61;
Sting (1951-), musician, is 55; Lorraine
Bracco (1955-), actress, is 51; Kelly Ripa

York Yankees beat the Chicago Cubs in the
last of four straight games to win the World
Series.
eagle. Be a team player,
instead.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March
20) -- Guard against tendencies to be too frightened to
treat situations with the seriousness
they
deserve.
Important
matters
that
require caution should not
be treated in a cavalier fashion.
ARIES (March 21-April
19) -- Accept your friends
for who they are. If you display intolerance for them,
you can expect them to call
attention to those traits that
need correcting.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20) -- If you hope to get a
necessary message across to
either friends or family that
they may not like, lead by
example. If your attitude is
TODAY’S QUOTE: “Heresy is another
word for freedom of thought.” -- Graham
Greene
TODAY’S FACT: After translating Leo
Tolstoy’s “Letter to a Hindu,” Mohandas
Gandhi began a correspondence with the
novelist that lasted until Tolstoy’s death.
TODAY’S MOON: Between first quarter
(Sept. 30) and full moon (Oct. 6).
“do as I say, not as I do,” the
results will displease you.
GEMINI (May 21-June
20) -- Unless you are
absolutely certain your
friends and associates know
what you’re talking about,
don’t expect them to put
much credence in what you
say. Be as factual as possible.
CANCER (June 21-July
22) -- Even if you’re in a
reasonably good financial
position, things could get a
bit rocky from time to time.
This could be one of those
moments when diligence is
necessary.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - You are usually a rather
decisive person who has no
trouble making a decision,
Searching for something big?
IT'S IN THE CLASSIFIEDS–468-3500
but you could make others a
bit impatient because of
your inability to make up
your mind.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22) -- Under most conditions, you’re an individual
who jumps right in to help
others in need. Today,
though, you might lack your
usual compassion and miss
assisting someone you
should.
Know where to look for
romance and you’ll find it.

Answer: What happens when butlers and maids are at
one’s disposal — LIFE IS A “SNAP”
Woman is upset at ex-husband for flirting with his daughter-in-law
Dear Annie: Something happened a year
ago that I still find upsetting and cannot stop
thinking about. My ex-husband and I both
were invited to my grandson’s high school
graduation. We both stayed at my son’s
home, although in separate rooms.
In all the time I’ve visited my son and his
family, my daughter-in-law has never provided sweets, cookies, cakes and the like,
but on this occasion, she did. She offered
these various goodies to her father-in-law
(my ex), and he enjoyed them immensely.
He expressed this pleasure by putting a hand
on her waist or saying she deserved a hug,
and the hug often culminated with a kiss on
the lips.
This occurred a number of times in my
presence. I felt very uncomfortable witnessing such intimacies, and to me, they were
crossing a line. My daughter-in- law seemed
a willing participant, although it’s possible
she did not know how else to deal with it.
I love my daughter-in-law and don’t

know if this was absolutely innocent or if I
should have said something. Is this OK? Is
my reaction some problem of mine? -- Still
Upset
Dear Still Upset: It sounds as if your ex
is doing some minor flirtation with his
daughter-in-law. Trust her to handle it. If she
has a problem, she will discuss it with her
husband. If she is encouraging it, your son
will eventually notice. Either way, it’s generally best if the ex-wife (and mother-inlaw) stays out of it.
Dear Annie: My husband and I invited 24
friends to my birthday party. We sent invitations three weeks ahead and requested an
RSVP. We stated in the invitation that we
MONDAY EVENING
6:00 6:30 7:00 7:30 8:00 8:30 9:00 9:30 10:00 10:30 11:00
would be serving dinner and that gifts were
not necessary.
We had to phone a few people, but eventually, we received 20 positive responses.
My husband and I shopped, cleaned and
spent over $200 on food and drinks. Our
first guests showed up an hour late, and one
couple arrived three hours late. Three
friends came without their spouses, and two
couples never showed at all. Three of the
late arrivals announced they would be leaving early for other parties. We were left with
10 adults for a dinner we’d prepared for 20.
These guests are all educated professionals in their 40s. Is it unreasonable to expect
people to RSVP, show up on time and stay
for the entire party, or at least tell us in
advance if there is a change in plans? Is this
behavior becoming modus operandi for the
21st century, or do we just happen to run
with an inconsiderate crowd? -- Deeply
Disappointed
Dear Disappointed: Both, we’re afraid.
Too many people treat an RSVP as “Reply if
You Feel Like It,” and they think only of
their own preferences and needs, with no
consideration for yours. Here’s the rule:
After three attempts, anyone who is invited
but doesn’t respond, fails to show up,
repeatedly leaves early or is otherwise
inconsiderate, is not invited again. Period.
Dear Annie: This is for “Embarrassed,”
the woman who had cut herself to help with
emotional pain and was now embarrassed to
show her scars in a bathing suit.
I used to be a cutter, and my solution was
not to hide my scars but to ignore them. My
family and friends understood, and when
incredibly rude strangers asked me what had
happened, I told them I was mauled by a
tiger or that it was top-secret government
business.
My scars have faded, and it’s not a big
deal anymore. I wish “Embarrassed” the
best of luck in finding what works for her. - Virginia
Dear Virginia: We’re glad you found a
way to get through that difficult time with a
sense of humor. Thanks for your support.

THE PETITION requests the decedent's will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate.
The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before
taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action). The independent administration authority will be granted unless
an interested person files an objection to the
petition and shows good cause why the court
should not grant the authority.
A HEARING on the petition will be held on
OCTOBER 13, 2006 at 9:30 a.m. in Dept.: E,
located at: COURTHOUSE, 100 N. State
Street, Ukiah, CA 95482
IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and
state your objections or file written objections
with the court before the hearing. 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 are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for
Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of
an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or
of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court
clerk.

The Daily Journal
The Ukiah girls soccer team
fell to No. 4-ranked Redwood
Empire power Rancho Cotate, 30, Friday in Ukiah. The Wildcats
also suffered a 6-0 setback to
No. 5 Maria Carrillo Wednesday.
Against Rancho, Ukiah managed to play to a 0-0 tie at halftime.
“We came into this game with
a much better mental focus,”
said Ukiah head coach Matt
Eiffert. “We have had trouble
starting games as of late, but
today the girls showed up ready
to play.”
Jolene Pearson had a scoring
opportunity go off the crossbar
in the first half, and the Cougars
got on the board first in the second half off of a Ukiah foul,
scoring on the ensuing penalty
kick.
“That was really deflating for
us,” Eiffert said. “We created
some chances but just couldn’t
put one away. Yessenia Diaz had
a stellar first half at right back,
and Jolene Peaarson, Bernice
Segura and Fallon Hovland all
put out tremendous efforts”
Hillary Ruddick played what
Eiffert said was her best game of
the season in goal, turning out
several top-shelf saves in the
first half.
“Goalkeeping like that really
gives a team confidence and
energy,” Eiffert said. “Hillary
was very sharp tonight.”
The junior varsity girls won
their game against Rancho, 2-0.
Molly Lear scored both goals for
Ukiah, both in the first half, off
assists from Kylie Carr and Leah
Blue.

Roger Clemens calls the
report “dangerous and malicious
and reckless.” Andy Pettitte
insists he never took banned
drugs. Miguel Tejada says he is
being smeared again by scandal.
Some of baseball’s biggest
stars responded with denials and
denunciations Sunday following
a Los Angeles Times report in
which former pitcher Jason
Grimsley accused five players of
using performance-enhancing
drugs, according to a federal
agent’s affidavit. The other players cited were Baltimore teammates Brian Roberts and Jay
Gibbons.
Grimsley once played with
Clemens and Pettitte on the New
York Yankees and is now out of
baseball. The reliever has admitted using a variety of banned
substances and was suspended
for 50 games by Major League
Baseball.
Clemens and Pettitte, now
teammates on the Houston
Astros, denied the allegations
Sunday.
“I just think it’s incredibly
dangerous to sit out there and
just throw names out there,”
Clemens said Sunday before the
Astros played in Atlanta on the
final day of the regular season.
“I haven’t seen (the report), nor
do I need to see it.”
“For the people involved it is
very dangerous and malicious
and reckless on the part of somebody ... to put something out
there with somebody else’s writing on it,” he added.
Clemens said he has been

KANSAS CITY, Mo. —
Trent Green was cleared to drive
this week, so he joined his
Chiefs teammates on the sideline
Sunday. Out on the field, Damon
Huard was obviously happy to
have him riding shotgun.
Getting advice and encouragement from Green and even
suggestions on which plays to
run, Huard and the rest of the
Kansas City Chiefs played
almost flawlessly in a surprising
41-0 rout of
San Francisco

“ Tr e n t ’s

Huard hit 18 of 23 passes for

tosses as the Chiefs (1-2) roared
to a 24-0 halftime lead en route
to their first shutout in almost

GOLF
Woods keeps win streak alive
By DOUG FERGUSON
The Associated Press
CHANDLER’S CROSS, England
— Good news for the rest of golf:
Tiger Woods is going on vacation.
A streak that began 10 weeks ago
on the sun-baked links of Hoylake
reached six straight PGA Tour victories on the rain-drenched fairways
north of London on Sunday when
Woods went wire-to-wire in the
American Express Championship.
He became the first player in tour
history to win at least eight times in
three seasons.
Threatened only by the weather
that twice delayed the inevitable,
Woods closed with a 4-under 67 for
an eight-shot victory over Adam
Scott and Ian Poulter.
“He’s dominating the game,”
Scott said. “It’s not the first time he’s
done it, either.”
The trophy in hand, Woods had
one foot in a courtesy car that was
ready to take him away when he took
a few questions from the BBC. After
playing seven times in the last nine
weeks, he was eager to get home to
Florida.
“I’m getting away for a little bit,”
Woods said. “As far as golf, I’ve had
enough of it for a while.”
This might have been his most
dominating performance since the
streak began at the British Open in
July, and not just because the eightshot victory was his largest margin
since winning by 11 at the 2003 Bay
Hill Invitational.
Woods had such control over his
game that he was third in driving distance and fifth in driving accuracy,
missing only 12 fairways all week.
And during one stretch, he hit 36
consecutive greens in regulation, a
streak that ended when his approach
on the 12th hole drifted left and into
a bunker for his only bogey of the
final round.
One other streak ended on the last
hole of the tournament — it was the
first time all week he failed to make
eagle on the 567-yard closing hole at
The Grove. His chip from just short
of the green scooted by the cup and
stopped a few feet away for a tap-in
birdie that put him at 23-under 261.

Stewart’s gamble pays off with victory in Kansas
By CHRIS JENKINS
AP Sports Writer
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Tony
Stewart was on fumes.
Jimmie Johnson was fuming.
Eliminated from championship
contention, Stewart and his crew
decided to gamble on fuel mileage. It
paid off — but just barely, as Stewart
crawled across the finish line Sunday
to win the Banquet 400 at Kansas
Speedway.
Meanwhile, Johnson tried to play
it safe to remain in the hunt for the
Nextel Cup, giving up the race lead
to pit for an extra splash of fuel with
four laps to go. But he was penalized
for speeding on pit road and finished
14th. Johnson was upset about the
penalty after the race.
“I was just trying to get off and get
on and get back in the race, and I got
a speeding violation,” Johnson said.
“I wasn’t doing anything differently.”
Johnson’s Hendrick Motorsports
teammate, Jeff Gordon, saw his
championship momentum evaporate
a few laps earlier.
Gordon was running eighth when
his car developed an apparent fuelpressure problem with 29 laps to go,
causing him to slow to a crawl on the
backstretch.
After getting a push back to the
pits from former Hendrick teammate
Terry Labonte, Gordon’s crew tried
to fix his car but couldn’t get him
back on the track. He finished 39th.
“We don’t know what it was,”
Gordon said. “I don’t like to speculate. I know I didn’t have any fuel
pressure, but I don’t know what it
was.”

NFL ROUNDUP
Cowboys ruin
Young’s debut
The Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. —
Terrell Owens got all the
attention. Terry Glenn scored
the touchdowns.
In a game that featured the
return of T.O. and the first
NFL start for Tennessee
rookie Vince Young, Drew
Bledsoe and Glenn hooked
up on two 13-yard touchdown passes Sunday and the
Dallas Cowboys beat the
Titans 45-14.
Owens played with his
broken right hand protected
by a plate and a glove only
five days after his hospital
visit for an accidental overdose. He caught five passes
for 88 yards but also dropped
one in the end zone because
he was unable to pull it in
with his injured hand.
There was some added
drama when Titans defensive
tackle Albert Haynesworth
stomped on Dallas center
Andre Gurode’s face and was
ejected. Gurode needed
stitches above his left eye.
The Cowboys (2-1) punted only once and ran for 217
of their 369 total yards. Julius
Jones ran 23 times for 122
yards and a touchdown. The
Titans are 0-4.
Young looked very much
the rookie as Dallas sacked
him twice and intercepted
him twice, with Bradie James
returning the second 15 yards
for a touchdown. Young also
fumbled at the end of a
scramble, which Dallas also
recovered. He finished 14-of29 for 155 yards and ran five
times for 3 yards.
Colts 31, Jets 28
EAST RUTHERFORD,
N.J. (AP) — Justin Miller’s
103-yard kickoff return was
the quick score the Jets needed. Only problem: It left
Peyton Manning with one
last chance and plenty of
time.
After Miller’s dash gave
New York the lead with 2:20
left,
Manning
led
Indianapolis (4-0) on the
winning drive, capping it
with a 1-yard run that gave
the Colts a wild victory.
Manning was 6-of-8 for
60 yards on the drive, including a 19-yard pass to Marvin
Harrison and a 15-yarder to
Reggie Wayne that put the
ball at the 1. Running the nohuddle offense, Manning
then took the ball and pushed
himself into the end zone.
With 8 seconds left, the
Jets got off one last, desperate circus play, a never-ending lateral-fest that almost
worked. Chad Pennington
threw a short pass to Leon
Washington, who ran for an
8-yard gain and lateraled the
ball to Brad Smith.
A series of four laterals —
including one back to
Pennington, who then threw
a crosswise pass to Justin
McCareins to keep the chaos
rolling — and two fumbles
recovered by the Jets followed, with center Nick
Mangold finally losing the
ball at the Colts 35 and Jason
Davis
recovering
for
Indianapolis (4-0) to end the
game.
Manning finished 21-of30 for 217 yards and a touchdown.
Ravens 16, Chargers 13
BALTIMORE (AP) —
Steve McNair brought the
unbeaten Ravens back for the
second week in a row, throwing a 10-yard pass to Todd
Heap with 34 seconds left for
the win.
The Ravens (4-0) never
led until Heap bulled his way
over the goal line. Until that
final drive, San Diego (2-1)
appeared poised to remain
unbeaten.
One week earlier, McNair
struggled before engineering
a late drive that produced a
field goal and a 15-14 win
over Cleveland. He did very
little against the Chargers,
either, until it mattered most.
McNair went 4-for-5 for
43 yards and ran once for 12
yards during the final drive,
which began after San Diego
intentionally took a safety
with 3:12 to go.
McNair finished 17-for-30
for 158 yards and two interceptions. He also threw two
TD
passes.
LaDainian
Tomlinson ran for 98 yards
on 27 carries for the
Chargers.
Redskins 36,
Jaguars 30, OT
LANDOVER, Md. (AP)
— No need for Mark Brunell
to gloat about beating his old
team. His favorite receiver,
Santana Moss, and the rest of
the Redskins offense did
plenty to leave the Jaguars
(2-2) sufficiently embarrassed.
Moss leaped between two
defenders to catch a 68-yard
touchdown pass 1:49 into
overtime, the third time he
left would-be tacklers behind
on the way to the end zone.
After blowing two fourthquarter leads, the Redskins
(2-2) won the toss at the start
of overtime and needed only
three plays to score. Brunell
found Moss near the sideline
— the play had to be
reviewed to make sure the
receiver didn’t step out of
bounds — and Moss left
Brian Williams and Deon
Grant flat-footed as he
snagged the ball on the run.
Patriots 38, Bengals 13
CINCINNATI (AP) — A
rookie running back helped
New England’s offense play
like old times.
Laurence Maroney ran for
125 yards and a pair of
touchdowns. New England
(3-1) savored the big day by
its offense, so balky a week
earlier that Tom Brady
uncharacteristically waved
his arms in frustration during
a loss to Denver. The only
time he lifted his arms on
Sunday was to signal another
Patriots touchdown.
Maroney stiff-armed his
way through the Bengals (31) on touchdown runs of 11
and 25 yards that set the tone.
Brady was 15-of-26 for 188
yards and a pair of TDs.
Carson Palmer was sacked
four times and lost a pair of
second-half fumbles that set
up touchdowns. Palmer was
20-of-35 for 245 yards in his
least-productive
showing
since he returned from a
major knee injury.
Rams 41, Lions 34
ST. LOUIS (AP) —
Maybe the Rams merely
needed their old ringmaster
back in the building to
resemble “The Greatest
Show on Turf.”
In a shootout befitting
Mike Martz’s return to St.
Louis (he’s the Lions offensive coordinator), Isaac
Bruce caught a 5-yard touchdown pass with 1:56 to play
for the Rams.
Trailing 34-33 with 4:42
to play, the Rams (3-1) got
the ball and marched 56
yards in seven plays, scoring
when Marc Bulger threw to
Bruce, who caught his first
TD pass of the season.
Bulger and Bruce then
connected on a 2-point conversion.
Jon Kitna was intercepted
on the first play after the
Rams’ score, but the Lions
(0-4) got the ball back with
47 seconds to play after Jeff
Wilkins missed a 47-yard
field goal try.
Detroit drove to the St.
Louis 37, then appeared to
get a break when Rams rookie Ty Hill was called for
interference against Az-Zahir
Hakim in the end zone with
22 seconds left. But the officials reversed the call
because the ball was tipped,
and Kitna’s fourth-down pass
sailed out of the end zone.
Bulger was 26-of-42 for
328 yards and three touchdowns and Bruce caught
seven passes for 100 yards
and a score. Kitna was 29-of43 for 280 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions.
Texans 17, Dolphins 15
HOUSTON (AP) —
Mario Williams finally got a
sack and Houston picked up
its first win.
David Carr scored the goahead touchdown on a 1-yard
run and the Texans (1-3) survived a late rally by Miami
for the win.
The Dolphins (1-3) trailed
17-9 when Daunte Culpepper
found Chris Chambers for a
16-yard touchdown with 1:39
to go. Miami went for the 2point conversion, but the
pass by running back Ronnie
Brown was tipped by
Williams and sailed over
Chambers’ head.
The Dolphins (1-3) tried
an onside kick and almost
recovered, but the ball squirted out from underneath Keith
Adams and the Texans fell on
it and ran out the clock. After
Carr’s score put Houston (13) ahead 10-6 early in the
fourth, Williams, Houston’s
No. 1 pick, got to Culpepper
for a 3-yard loss. The sack
was the first of his career and
his first tackle of the game.
Falcons 32, Cardinals 10
ATLANTA (AP)
—
Michael Vick and his offense
are having trouble scoring
touchdowns when they get
close to the end zone. The
way the defense is playing, it
doesn’t really matter.
DeAngelo Hall returned
an interception 36 yards for a
touchdown, Jerious Norwood
broke off a 78-yard scoring
run and 46-year-old Morten
Andersen kicked five field
goals in Atlanta’s victory.
The Falcons (3-1) head
into their bye week having
allowed only one touchdown
on defense this season.
Arizona’s lone TD was a 99yard interception return by
Adrian Wilson — the longest
in franchise history.
It wasn’t nearly enough to
prevent the Cardinals (1-3)
from their third straight loss.
Neither was a quarterback
change.
and finished second, zigzagging his
way to the checkered flag to try to
force the last drops of fuel from his
tank into his engine. Chase contender Mark Martin finished third.
Jeff Burton, who broke a five-year
winless streak and grabbed the points
lead last weekend at Dover, also used
a conservative fuel strategy and finished fifth. Burton was running second when he pitted for a splash of
fuel with nine laps to go.
Sunday’s race caused a major
shakeup in the points standings, with
Burton leaving with an unofficial 69-

defense which had rung up 12

“What a great veteran

defense — are you kidding

to their worst start since losing
their first three games in 1961.
“We feel fortunate to come
out of here with a win,”
Browns
coach
Romeo
Crennel said.
A week off helped the
Raiders (0-3) regroup after
being outscored 55-6 in the
first two games in Art Shell’s
second stint as coach. It
seemed like Oakland was
poised for a win after taking a
21-3 lead.
But poor play on special
teams, a mediocre performance by Andrew Walter in
his first career start and a
questionable spot by the officials doomed Oakland.
“We were better but that’s
not good enough,” Shell said.
“We just didn’t play well on a
consistent basis. We played
well in spurts. You can’t play
in spurts. You have to be consistent.”
Early in the fourth quarter,
Walter completed a 15-yard
pass to Ronald Curry on thirdand-16 from the 45. Curry
appeared to stretch the ball to
the 28, but the officials
marked him just inside the 30

tested “plenty of times” and
passed every test.
Pettitte was “stunned” by
the report.
“I played with Grimsley for
a couple of years in New York
and had a great relationship
with him,” the pitcher said
before the Astros’ game.
“I’ve never used any drugs
to enhance my performance in
baseball. I don’t know what
else to say except to say it’s
embarrassing my name would
be out there.”
In June, federal agents
searched Grimsley’s home in
Arizona after the pitcher
admitted using human growth
hormone,
steroids
and
amphetamines.
Grimsley later was released
by
the
Arizona
Diamondbacks.
In a search warrant affidavit signed by IRS Special
Agent Jeff Novitzky, the
Times reported, he said
Grimsley identified other
players who had used drugs.
Those names were blacked
out when the document was
released.
“As for Jason Grimsley’s
affidavit, we have no information regarding how it was
obtained or its accuracy,”
MLB spokesman Richard
Levin said Sunday.
All major league players
are tested at least twice a year
for banned drugs. There is no
test for HGH, but it is banned
by the sport. Former Senate
Majority Leader George
Mitchell was hired by MLB to
point lead over Denny Hamlin, who
managed to climb two spots with an
18th-place finish. Martin moved up
to third in the standings, 70 points
behind Burton.
Gordon dropped four spots to
sixth, 120 points behind Burton.

Chase for the Nextel Cup championship format again was affected by

three of the top five championshipeligible drivers had to swerve to
avoid an early spinout by Ryan
Newman.
yards passing and the 49ers to
93 yards rushing. In their first
three games, the 49ers had
given up only four sacks.
But the Chiefs took Smith
down five times.
“It’s pretty discouraging,”
said 49ers coach Mike Nolan.
“That’s a pretty tough loss. I
would say that’s the most difficult loss in the year and a
half that I have been here. I
didn’t see lack of effort. I saw
a lot of poor play.”
Green, who is out indefinitely, was not shy in calling
plays.
“He’s a great play-caller,”
said coach Herm Edwards. “It
was great all week to have
him around. He’s one of our
leaders on our team.”
Dante Hall scored Kansas
City’s final touchdown on a
60-yard punt return, giving
him 11 touchdown kick
returns in his career.
Larry Johnson rushed for
101 yards and two touchdowns for the Chiefs, who
handed the 49ers their first
shutout since 2004 and only
their second since 1977.
Mendocino College and
Clearlake High School product Ronnie Cruz had four carries for 15 yards.
The Chiefs’ defense has not

straight games.
and short of a first down.
Shell chose not to challenge the spot after consulting
with the coaches upstairs.
Orpheus Roye then beat
Langston Walker and stopped
LaMont Jordan for a 2-yard
loss in the backfield on fourth
down to end the drive.
“We had to go out there and
make a play on that down,”
Roye said. “It was a big
momentum swing.”
Jordan ran for 128 yards,
including a 59-yard score,
Sam Williams returned a fumble 30 yards for Oakland’s
first touchdown of the year
and Walter connected on a 5yard pass with Randy Moss
for his first career touchdown.
Frye’s third-quarter TD
passes to Kellen Winslow and
Joe Jurevicius helped the
Browns avoid the third 0-4
start in their history. He finished 22-for-32 for 192 yards,
winning for the second time in
Oakland. Frye has three wins
in nine starts overall.
Reuben Droughns ran for
100 yards on 25 carries for
Cleveland after missing last
week’s game with a shoulder
injury.
“We just kept plugging
away, and the line stayed confident,” Droughns said.
“Being able to run the ball
against these guys was great,
because we kind of struggled
doing that last year.”
Walter was 9-for-23 for 68
yards, a touchdown and an
interception in place of
injured starter Aaron Brooks.
“We got shut out in the second half,” Walter said. “That’s
unacceptable. On offense we
have to hit the gas pedal when
we have them down.”
Cleveland’s two first-half
scores came after long kickoff
returns by Joshua Cribbs.
A 65-yard return set up Phil
Dawson’s 28-yard field goal,
and after Jordan’s touchdown
run, Cribbs took the kick back
53 yards. That led to Frye’s 2yard pass to Darnell Dinkins
that cut it to 21-10 with 58
seconds left in the half.
Frye led two touchdown
drives in the third quarter as
Cleveland rallied to take a 2421 lead. He hit Winslow on a
22-yard pass on fourth-and-8
from the Oakland 31 to set up
a 2-yard TD pass to Winslow.
After Dennis Northcutt’s
58-yard punt return, Frye hit
Jurevicius in the corner of the
end zone for a 5-yard score
late in the third quarter.
The Raiders were unable to
score after Jordan’s long run
made it 21-3 with 4:08 left in
the second quarter.
investigate steroids in baseball.
The Times said an unidentified source with access to the
document — minus the crossouts — allowed the newspaper see it but kept the copy.
The Times said a second
source who had identified the
other players provided additional details about the document.
According to the affidavit,
the Times said, Grimsley told
investigators Clemens and
Pettitte “used athletic performance-enhancing drugs.”
Houston teammate Lance
Berkman said he would be
startled to find either of the
two pitchers involved, calling
the matter “irresponsible” and
“unfortunate.”
“You just have to be very,
very careful when you make
accusations like that,” he said.
“You better be right about it.”
The affidavit also alleged
Grimsley told federal agents
that Roberts, Gibbons and
Tejada, all with the Orioles,
“took anabolic steroids.”
“What can I do? I spent one
morning last year with
Grimsley,”
Tejada
said
Sunday from Boston. “I mean,
I already got thrown under the
bus with Palmeiro. No, I don’t
worry about that.”
Rafael Palmeiro was suspended last season for using
steroids and suggested the
positive test may have been
the result of a vitamin B-12
shot Tejada gave him. Tejada
insisted he did nothing wrong.
Gibbons has said he has
passed every test administered
by baseball.
“I’m as shocked as anybody else,” he said.
Roberts derided the accusations as “ridiculous.”
“We’ve had steroid testing,
and I’ve taken all the tests,”
he told The (Baltimore) Sun.
“There is no point in getting
into verbal wars.”
Novitzky also was the lead
investigator in the Bay Area
Laboratory
Co-Operative
probe.
Two BALCO officials and
Barry Bonds’ personal trainer,
Greg Anderson, served jail
time after guilty pleas in that
investigation.
Grimsley has complained
to friends, the Times said, that
federal agents attributed statements to him that he did not
make.
Randy Hendricks, who represents Clemens and Pettitte,
told The Associated Press he
questions the conduct of the
federal agents.
“I’ve grown weary of having to defend (Clemens) from
innuendo and conjecture
about every six months for the
last several years when he’s
complied with all of the rules
and regulations,” Hendricks
said. “Andy is just surprised
and stunned, and has no
knowledge of any such activity.”
Atlanta Braves star Chipper
Jones called Clemens and
Pettitte “iconic figures” and is
convinced of their innocence.
Giants manager Felipe
Alou was asked how he thinks
Clemens will be treated compared to Bonds.
“I’ve got to say, Rockets
are hard to catch,” he said. “I
was shocked to see those
names on television this
morning. Some big names. I
said, ’Here we go again.”’

Johnson, Ott lead
Ukiah J.V. to win
The Daily Journal
The Ukiah junior varsity
football team improved to 40 Friday with an 18-7 win
over Rancho Cotate in
Rohnert Park.
Rancho drove the ball 60
yards after the opening kickoff for a touchdown and a 70 lead, and the two teams
spent the rest of the half in a
defensive battle and went
into halftime with the same
score.
Ukiah came out in the
second half and, using the
shotgun formation, got on
the board with a 10-yard
scoring strike from Jorgen
Johnson
to
Marcos
Hernandez. A successful
onside kick then gave Ukiah
the ball right back and they
took advantage of the opportunity.
On the first play from
scrimmage, Johnson connected with Kyle Mayfield
on a 60 yard pass down to
the Rancho three-yard line.
Gabe Ott then scored on a
three-yard run to put Ukiah
ahead, 12-7. The Wildcat
defense held the Cougars
scoreless in the second half
and Ott capped off a 90-yard
Woods
Continued from Page B-1
“This was a fun week,” he
said. “I hit the ball really
well — all 72 holes, really.
It’s fun when you can control
your golf ball that well.”
In a week remembered for
the death of Byron Nelson, it
rekindled curiosity whether
Lord Byron’s record in 1945
of 11 consecutive victories
really is untouchable.
Woods wasn’t ready to
touch that one — yet.
“It’s still a long way
away,” he said with a laugh.
“If you look at it, I’m barely
halfway. What he did was
absolutely remarkable, and
I’m just thrilled that I’ve
been able to win six in a row
twice. That to me is a pretty
neat accomplishment in
itself.”
Woods won the final four
PGA Tour events in 1999
and his first two starts in
2000 to match Ben Hogan
(1948) for the secondlongest winning streak on
the PGA Tour.
He passed Nelson, Hogan,
Sam Snead and Arnold
Palmer with his third PGA
Tour season of at least eight
victories. Woods won eight
times in 1999 and nine times
in 2000.
And he has at least one
tournament left — the Tour
Championship.
Woods probably won’t
decide until the last minute
whether to play Disney in
three weeks. Skipping that
tournament, which has never
been his favorite, would
drive by the Wildcats with a
10 yard touchdown run.
The Ukiah J.V. program
has now won 12 straight
games dating back to the
2005 season.
Ukiah returns to action
Friday, hosting Piner at 5
p.m.
Freshmen lose to
Windsor
The Ukiah freshmen football team lost a hard-fought,
7-0 game to Windsor
Thursday.
The Wildcats repeatedly
stopped Windsor except for
one short third quarter drive
resulting in the only score of
the game. The defense was
anchored by Dillon Givens,
and Larry Pinnegar had a
fumble recovery for Ukiah.
Chris Tow grapped his
fourth interception of the
season as Windsor’s passing
game proved ineffective.
Offensively, Nick Elmore
led Ukiah with 43 yards
rushing on 10 carries behind
offensive line stalwarts
Pinnegar and Freddy Loupy.
The freshmen return to
action Oct. 5, hosting Analy.
Game time is 5 p.m.
leave him one round short of
being eligible for the Vardon
Trophy for lowest scoring
average.
Asked how much that
award meant, Woods replied,
“Not much.”
“I’ve had a good year,” he
said. “But if you don’t play
enough rounds, you don’t
play enough rounds.”
He might come up short
because of missing the cut at
the U.S. Open for the first
time in a major. That was his
first tournament back since
his father died of cancer in
May, and Woods has been
nearly unstoppable since
then.
The only two tournaments
he didn’t win was the
Western Open (a tie for second) and the World Match
Play Championship two
weeks ago at Wentworth, a
European Tour event that
does not count toward his
PGA Tour streak. Woods
successfully defended his
title for the fifth time this
year, and he is 10-of-15 in
World Golf Championships
that are stroke play.
He won at The Grove the
first two days by opening
with rounds of 63-64 to
build a five-shot lead, and
never giving anyone else
much hope. The closest anyone got to him on a dreary
afternoon in this village
north of London was Jim
Furyk, his Ryder Cup partner.
Furyk got within five
shots through five holes and
was at 15 under when his
approach to the sixth buried
in lush grass on the side of a
hill.
