District knocks down
flames on a burning
house on West Road in
Redwood Valley. The
structure - on West Road
just past the Eagle Peak
Middle School - was fully
involved and the fire
spread to the back side of
Virginia Circle. The blaze
began at about 4 p.m.
Monday afternoon. The
fire was brought under
control in a few hours
but, according to CDF, the
home was a loss. Several
nearby homes, however,
were saved and a total of
two acres of vegetation
burned. Firefighters from
as

as
Laytonville and as far
south

County pot plant
limit still debated
READY FOR ANYTHING
By K.C. MEADOWS
The Daily Journal
Mendocino County supervisors Mike Delbar and Jim
Wattenburger, sitting as the
board’s criminal justice committee, heard more testimony
Monday about how many
medical marijuana plants any
one person ought to be able to
grow in the county.
Wattenburger says he
believes 12 is a good number,
but says that Delbar is sticking to the state’s Prop. 215
guideline of six plants. Prop.
215 is the law that allows
patients and caregivers to
grow marijuana legally.
However, the law allows local
jurisdictions to regulate the
growing.
“We brought it down to one
issue; trying to figure out how
many plants to allow per person,” Wattenburger said
Monday night. Guidelines for
medical marijuana growing in
the county developed by former Sheriff Tony Craver and

Tanker crews expecting bad fire season
By RICHARD ROSIER
The Daily Journal
Out at the Ukiah Municipal Airport,
two air tankers and an OV-10 Air Attack
plane sit, awaiting what may be a serious
fire season.
Battalion Chief Norm Brown of the
Ukiah Air Attack Base says that
Mendocino County should prepare itself
for an active fire season.
“We’ve had half the rainfall from last
year,” Brown said. “Fuels are a lot dryer
this year and we’re probably a month to
six weeks ahead of what we were last
year as far as dryness.”
Doug Baker, a 31-year veteran tanker
pilot, indicated that this fire season has
the potential to be far more destructive
than previous years.
“It’s the worst I’ve ever seen, poten-
tially,” Baker said. “In my personal opinion -- and I’ve been around a lot of these
fire seasons -- this is gonna be killer. If
the weather conditions stay right, if we
don’t get the monsoonal moisture ... it
could get real bad. It has conditions of a
drought year, but there’s lots of vegetation out there. It’s as bad as I’ve ever seen

Mandatory vaccine bill drawing fire
By SANDY KLEFFMAN
Contra Costa Times
SACRAMENTO - A bill
that would take decisions on
mandatory childhood vaccines away from the governor
and Legislature is drawing
heated debate.
Assembly Bill 16 would
hand such decisions to a federal advisory committee and
the state public health officer.
The author of the bill,
Assemblyman
Edward
Capitol news
from the
MediaNews Group
Hernandez, D-West Covina,
argues this would lead to a
more science-driven, lesspoliticized process. He has
picked up support from such
groups as the California
Medical Association, Kaiser
Permanente and Planned
Parenthood Affiliates of
California.
But the proposal has
angered many parents of
autistic children, who blame
vaccines for their children’s
disorders. They argue the
changes would ensure such
decisions are made by a distant committee and a nonelected official, and thus eliminate the opportunity for public hearings and input.
“This is a flat-out attempt
to grab the power of approval
away from the public and parents,” said Rick Rollens, the
father of an autistic boy and a
co-founder of the M.I.N.D.
See VACCINE, Page 16
Wattenburger
the late county District
Attorney Norm Vroman
allowed 25 plants or 100
square feet of canopy.
“Sheriff Allman says 100
square feet equates to about
12 plants and not 25,”
Wattenburger said. “That’s
kinda of why I went with the
12.”

Wiggins rail bill
moves forward
The Daily Journal
SACRAMENTO - SB
861, a bill by Senator Patricia
Wiggins (D – Santa Rosa) to
enable the North Coast
Railroad Authority to reallocate millions of dollars for
environmental
cleanup,
chugged closer to reality
Monday when it was
approved by the Assembly
Transportation Committee.
The vote was 8-6.
NCRA was established in
1989 to preserve and restore
rail service on 316 miles of
the former Northwestern
Pacific line (in turn a subsidiary of the former Southern
Pacific Railroad Lines)
between the Port of Humboldt
Bay and the national rail interchange south of Napa.
NCRA has been beset by
closures due to storms, an
erratic freight market, and
unstable finances. In recent
years, the rail authority has
suffered severe storm damage,
encountered environmental
problems, and incurred feder-
al safety sanctions.
The Wiggins bill would
enable the NCRA to reallocate
$5.5 million, previously designated for repayment of a
federal loan that has since
been forgiven, to meet cleanup obligations under a courtordered environmental remediation consent decree, and to
address emergency maintenance issues.
“Despite early setbacks
caused by the lack of operational funding, NCRA has
made considerable progress in
2005 and 2006 toward its goal
of repairing the rail line in
phases and leasing the
restored track to a short-haul
rail operator,” Wiggins says.
“This rail line has historically
played a significant role in the
transportation infrastructure
of a region of the state (the
North Coast) that suffers from
restricted access and limited
transport options.”
Wiggins says her bill
would provide NCRA funding

Fast-moving Tahoe
wildfire destroys
220 homes
MEYERS, Calif. (AP) _ A
growing army of firefighters
launched an aggressive attack
Monday to corral a forest fire
that had destroyed more than
200 buildings in less than a
day and forced about 1,000
people to flee neighborhoods
near the southern edge of
Lake Tahoe.
State officials declared a
state of emergency in the area
Monday, the first step in
requesting emergency federal
assistance to fight the blaze,
which rained ash on the pristine lake and darkened the sky
over the high Sierra.
"The circumstances of this
wildfire, by reason of their
magnitude, are beyond the
control of the services, personnel, equipment and facilities of any single county," said
Lt. Gov. John Garamendi,
who signed the declaration
while
Gov.
Arnold
Schwarzenegger was in
Europe.
The fire, believed to be
caused by human activity, had
charred nearly 2,500 acres _
nearly 4 square miles _ since
it started Sunday afternoon.
No injuries were reported. The
state Office of Emergency
Services said 165 houses and
75 outbuildings had been
destroyed.
The blaze was less than 10
percent contained Monday,
said Lt. Kevin House of the El
Dorado County Sheriff's
Department.
Suicide bomber
strikes at
Baghdad hotel
BAGHDAD (AP) - A
stealthy suicide bomber
slipped into a busy Baghdad
hotel Monday and blew himself up in the midst of a gathering of U.S.-allied tribal
sheiks, undermining efforts to
forge a front against the
extremists of al-Qaida in Iraq.
Four of the tribal chiefs were
among the 13 victims, police
said.
Iraq's prime minister quickly vowed renewed support for
Anbar province's tribal leaders
after the noontime explosion,
which also wounded 27 people and devastated the groundfloor lobby of the high-rise
Mansour Hotel.
"We are sure that this crime
will not weaken the will of
Anbar sheiks," Nouri alMaliki said in a statement.
The stunning terror strike
in the heart of Baghdad, by a
killer penetrating layers of
security, was one of a wave of
suicide and other bombings
that killed at least 46 people
across Iraq on Monday another day of unrelenting
violence raising questions
about the ability of the reinforced U.S. military to stem
the bloodshed here.

policemen died in what the

Officer appears in
court in death of
girlfriend, fetus
CANTON, Ohio (AP) - A
police officer accused of
killing his pregnant girlfriend
and her nearly full-term fetus
made his first court appearance Monday and was ordered
held on $5 million bond.
Bobby Cutts Jr., 30, was
expressionless as a judge
reviewed his case. He stood
behind a window separating
him from the courtroom, with
his girlfriend's family seated a
few feet away.
Jessie Davis, 26, was missing for about a week before
her body was found Saturday
in a park. Cutts is the father of
her 2-year-old son, and Davis'
relatives have said he is the
father of the baby girl she was
due to deliver July 3 and
planned to name Chloe.
Davis' mother, Patricia
Porter, stood in the front row
of the courtroom and stared at
Cutts as he surveyed the audience.
"I'm not sitting down when
I see Bobby Cutts," Porter
said later. "I wanted to make
sure he knew I was there."
Ex-EPA chief
confronts critics
in Congress
WASHINGTON (AP) - ExEPA chief Christie Whitman
was bombarded by boos and a
host of accusations Monday at
a hearing into her assurances
that it had been safe to breathe
the air around the fallen World
Trade Center.
The confrontation between
the former head of the
Environmental
Protection
Agency and her critics grew
heated at times. Some members of the audience shouted
in anger, only to be gaveled
down by Rep. Jerrold Nadler,
D-N.Y., who chaired the hearing.
For three hours Whitman
faced charges from Nadler
and
others
that
the
Environmental
Protection
Agency's public statements
after the Sept. 11, 2001,
attacks gave people a false
sense of safety.
Whitman maintained the
government warned those
working on the toxic debris
pile to use respirators, while
elsewhere in lower Manhattan
the air was safe to the general
public.
"There are indeed people to
blame. They are the terrorists
who attacked the United
States, not the men and
women at all levels of government who worked heroically
to protect and defend this
country," Whitman said.

SHERIFF’S REPORTS
The following were
compiled from reports
prepared
by
the
Mendocino
County
Sheriff’s Office:
ARREST - On Thursday,
at 7:45 p.m. Sheriff’s deputies
arrested Rudolph Esquivel III,
24 and Tina Thompson, 28,
both of Fort Bragg after a traffic stop in the 400 block of
South Main Street in Fort
Bragg. Esquivel is on parole.
Both were found to be in possession of a suspected controlled substance and drug
paraphernalia. Also Esquivel
was carrying a driver’s license
that didn’t belong to him.
Both were booked into county
jail, Esquivel without bail and
Thompson on $10,000 bail.

Judge rules in
favor of
dry cleaner
WASHINGTON (AP) - A
judge ruled Monday that no
pair of pants is worth $54 million, rejecting a lawsuit that
took a dry cleaner's promise of
"Satisfaction Guaranteed" to
its most litigious extreme.
Roy L. Pearson became a
worldwide symbol of legal
abuse by seeking jackpot justice from a simple complaint that a neighborhood dry cleaners lost the pants from a new
suit and tried to give him a
pair that were not his.
His claim, reduced from
$67 million, was based on a
strict interpretation of the
city's consumer protection law
- which imposes fines of
$1,500 per violation, per day as well as damages for inconvenience, mental anguish and
attorney's fees for representing himself.But District of
Columbia Superior Court
Judge Judith Bartnoff ruled
that the owners of Custom
Cleaners did not violate the
consumer protection law by
failing to live up to Pearson's
expectations
of
the
"Satisfaction
Guaranteed"
sign once displayed in the
store window.

ASK DR. GOTT
By Peter H. Gott, MD
Lipitor not cause
of frequent urination
DEAR DR. GOTT: By the time you get this letter, I
will be 60 years old. I have a problem. In August 1999, I
suffered a mild heart attack. I was prescribed different
medicines so I could get better. All were dropped except
for the Lipitor, which I get in a 20-milligram dose. My
problem is that I can’t take liquids as much as I used to
because I am constantly going to the bathroom. I told this
to my heart doctor, and he said it sounded kind of
strange. Is he right that Lipitor doesn’t affect the bladder,
or is it just age?
DEAR READER: I doubt that your Lipitor is the
cause of your urinary frequency, which is more likely a
consequence of a prostate/bladder problem or a chronic
urinary-tract infection.
I recommend that you address this issue with a urologist. Ask your primary-care physician to make a referral.
Because Lipitor is a cholesterol-lowering medication,
I am sending you a copy of my Health Report
“Understanding Cholesterol.” Other readers who would
like a copy should send a long, self-addressed, stamped
envelope and $2 to Newsletter, PO Box 167, Wickliffe,
OH 44092. Be sure to mention the title.
DEAR DR. GOTT: Should I be concerned about my
urine changing from a pale yellow to a bright orange? I
do have a doctor, but I go to him only when absolutely
necessary because of transportation problems.
I would appreciate it so much if you could advise me
what, if anything, to do about my problem.
DEAR READER: A dark orange color to the urine
may be the result of dehydration, which you can overcome by increasing your fluid intake, thus diluting the
urochrome compounds that your kidneys excrete.
Your urine color could also be caused by jaundice,
which indicates liver malfunction or gallstones, or perhaps you are on an over-the-counter medication containing riboflavin. For example, a new product known as
MigreLief, used for relief of migraine headaches, contains 400 milligrams of riboflavin, which will change the
color of your urine to a fluorescent yellow. Thus, the
color change could simply be attributed to the additional
vitamin B complex in your system.
If your urine darkening fails to respond to increased
fluids and you haven’t modified your diet, see your doctor for further testing.
DEAR DR. GOTT: Regarding the ginger root for
motion sickness and your request for similar experiences
with the product, my daughter had all-day morning sickness when she was pregnant with her second child.
Nothing medicinal seemed to help with her nausea and
vomiting. After months of this, one of my friends told me
her niece had the same problem and purchased empty
capsules and filled them with ginger. My daughter’s doctor was consulted as to its safety, and she was advised it
couldn’t hurt. She found amazing relief.
Upon reading one of my books on natural remedies, I
learned that ancient seamen took ginger for seasickness.
DEAR READER: Thank you for your sharing your
daughter’s experience with ginger.

Coffee’s goodness all in the beans
By CAROLYN O’NEIL
Cox News Service
ATLANTA -- Here’s some
news that may perk you up on
your way to the corner coffee
shop. It seems that nutrition
researchers are brewing up a
big pot of evidence linking coffee to good health.
Coffee consumption is
emerging as one of the lifestyle
habits
associated
with
decreased risk of a number of
ailments, including gallstones,
kidney stones, certain cancers
and Type 2 diabetes. Brains
can benefit too.
Coffee can lift your mood
and treat headaches, and it is
well established that a cup of
java can reduce fatigue and
improve mental focus.
But, before you grab another
double caramel mocha cooler
with whipped cream and
chocolate sprinkles, let me
explain. It’s all about the
beans. Coffee beans are a rich
source of antioxidants - the
same cancer- fighting, healthpromoting plant nutrients
found in blueberries and broccoli.
In fact, coffee may be the
leading source of antioxidants
in
the
American
diet.
According to Joe Vinson, professor in the Department of
Chemistry at the University of
Scranton in Pennsylvania, coffee contributes 31 percent of
the total daily antioxidant
intake, specifically antioxidants called phenolic acids.
These chemical good guys
are associated with reduced
risk of heart disease because
they help prevent cholesterol
buildup in the arteries. Even if
you drink decaffeinated coffee
you’re still getting a healthy
dose of antioxidants.
So what about the caffeine?

Nuts about nuts, and not just salted peanuts
For most of my life when I
thought of nuts it was those salted peanuts in a bowl that I never
could stop eating at parties.
Knowing that they were irresistible and very fattening, I did
my best to avoid nuts all together. In recent years that has completely changed. Nuts have
become part of my daily diet.
I’m proud to say that “I’m nuts
about nuts.”
The first reason to consider
incorporating nuts into your
daily diet is that they provide
multiple health benefits. Nuts
are one of the best plant sources
of protein. They are rich in fiber,
magnesium, potassium, and
antioxidants such as Vitamin E.
Nuts are high in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats (the
good fats) which have been
shown to lower LDL cholesterol.

Healthy Living
By Haven Logan
Nurses’ Health Study, the Iowa
Women’s Health Study, the
Adventist Health Study, and the
Physicians’ Health Study all
found nut consumption to be
linked to a lower risk of heart
disease. Researchers combining
the results of these four studies
found that subjects who ate nuts
at least four times a week
showed a 37% reduced risk of
coronary heart disease compared
to those who never or seldom ate
nuts. Each additional serving of
nuts per week was associated
with an average 8.3% reduced
risk of coronary heart disease
(British Journal of Nutrition).
The second reason to include
nuts in your diet is that they are
absolutely delicious. Nuts can be
enjoyed at every meal of the day
and in between meals. Get
adventurous! Try some walnuts
and raisins on your oatmeal at
breakfast. At lunch sprinkle
crushed pistachios on your
salad. Spread almond butter on a
stalk of celery for your midafternoon snack. At dinner top
your pasta with roasted pine
nuts. Try a different type of nut

So how do you deal with the
high caloric content of nuts?
Here is the perfect place to practice what I call “Conscious
Indulgence” or the combining of
nutritional knowledge with
enjoying the pleasure of food.
As a general guideline you can
estimate that three tablespoons
of nuts contain 180 calories,
some types more and some less.
Because they are so dense in
calories and so hard to resist, my
policy is never to eat nuts out of
the container. I keep a measuring
spoon close by and always measure out the amount that I am
going to eat.
I enjoy nuts as a snack, primarily. Nothing could be more
convenient for between-meal

certain coffee and soda companies the country over were

The downside about drinking so much water is the more
one drinks; the more one’s
body needs to drink. After a
short period of hydration,
one’s innards feel like desert
sand if he goes a short time
without water. The upshot is I
began feeling antsy if I didn’t
have a water bottle within

byproduct of so much water is
an excessive need to visit the
restroom (or as I refer to it,
“The Weight Reduction

meant that I passed all the

A donation would be nice
We appreciate the effort of the folks at the
Ukiah Speedway who are trying once more
to put on a Ukiah fireworks show this Fourth
of July despite rising costs.
Everyone loves to see fireworks, but it
seems not quite enough Ukiahans want to
pay the $10 admission to the fairgrounds to
be in attendance. Instead, people watch from
all sorts of vantages around the valley and
enjoy the fireworks free of charge.
This year the Speedway promoters, who
are paying the $28,000 for the show
($18,500 for the 25-minute fireworks display) hope that people will donate to the
cause regardless of where they watch.
We think that’s only fair, since there
appears to be little in the way of business or
government sponsorship ready to pay for a
local fireworks show.
If people don’t help pay for it, we can
probably rest assured that there will be no
fireworks in Ukiah next year.
If Ukiahans want to have a fireworks celebration we have to figure out a way to pay
for it, simplify it - perhaps eliminate the
entertainment and other overhead - or face
traveling to other towns for the spectacle.
To help out this year, you can attend the
show inside the fairgrounds at $10 for adults
and $6 for children. Or for those who prefer
to watch from elsewhere in town, donations
can be made to the Ukiah Speedway, 916 S.

Bush’s endless war on terror.
This is the time for a third party to
emerge. The old argument that the Greens
will take votes away from the Democrats
and put Republicans in office no longer
holds, since the voters are now aware that
there isn’t much difference between the
two parties.
Congress especially needs a clean
sweep, but local city councils, boards of
supervisors, state offices also are controlled
by corporations to the detriment of people’s
needs. This is becoming more obvious to
the voters.
The timing is perfect for the Green
Party to become a viable political force;
people are fed up with both main parties.
Green values are what’s needed to get out
of Iraq and deal with global warming, and
people are alarmed enough to recognize it,
and break out of the two party mold.
This is the opportunity for the Greens to
do what political parties are supposed to
do, run candidates for public office with
the intent to win. Party organization is built
around campaigns.
But the Greens have been demoralized
for a long time. The party has attracted
dysfunctional people, and is known for
infighting. Perhaps provocateurs have
helped. And Green rules and procedures
leave lots of room for big egos to waste
everyone’s time.
November 2008 is 17 months away.
That’s plenty of time for the Greens to pull
it together, generate some self-discipline,
develop some self-confidence, find good
candidates and build organizations to support them.
If Greens can do this, voters will come
in droves. They’re hungry for alternatives
to the two major parties. Greens might
even win a few seats in Congress. At the
very least, some Democrats might feel their
“safe seats” are threatened, and be scared
into representing the people a bit more than
they do now.
People want a Congress representing
people, not corporations. Green candidates
don’t accept corporate contributions. The
Green party has worked hard for years to
establish itself as a viable political force.
Now, when the two major parties have
failed the people so miserably, it’s Green
time.
I am a Green Party Candidate for

VIEWPOINTS
THOMAS D. ELIAS
Tainted congressmen
harming state GOP
It is, naturally, the fervent hope of California
Republicans to expand or at least maintain their party's
influence in the state and its power in both Congress
and the state Legislature.
But as they contemplate this task, activists can't help
remembering what followed the scandal surrounding
the now-convicted and imprisoned ex-Congressman
Duke Cunningham.
Even in a solidly Republican district like
Cunningham's, designed to make certain no Democrat
could ever carry it, public disgust over Cunningham's
bribery-laced record was such that a Democrat almost
took the seat in a June 2006 special election. Plenty of
Democrats thought their candidate actually won,
claiming that "vote-flipping" by hackers manipulating
electronic voting machines was all that kept the seat
Republican.
Other than hanging onto that seat by a thread, it's
hard to see what new party chairman Ron Nehring's
boosters meant when they told the GOP state party
convention they expect him to "duplicate what he's
accomplished in San Diego County." Nehring was the
GOP's county chairman there the last few years.
And what did the party accomplish there in that
time? No legislative or congressional seat in San
Diego County has been moved from the Democratic
column to the Republican in many years.
If Nehring produces similar results statewide, he
will prove the truth of a California political aphorism,
namely that the only Republicans who can win in this
state are moderates.
Indeed, that's the kind of candidates immediate past
party chairman Duff Sundheim of Palo Alto sought
out. He helped Arnold Schwarzenegger become governor and he helped Steve Poizner become insurance
commissioner in last year's vote, giving Republicans a
victory in a race for a lesser statewide office for the
first time since 1998, when Bill Jones was reelected
secretary of state.
Sundheim's tenure also saw Republicans hold onto
all but one of their congressional seats. Their only loss
was the seat of Tracy's Richard Pombo, ousted over
links to convicted influence peddler Jack Abramoff.
Under Nehring, Republicans will be hard-pressed to
match those results, unless they can find solid primary
election candidates to run against three congressional
incumbents with sordid records of their own.
There is Jerry Lewis of Redlands, under federal
scrutiny over his ties to lobbyists whose clients got
hundreds of millions of dollars in earmarks during his
years as chairman of the House Appropriations
Committee. Lewis, the top House recipient of lobbyist
donations last year, denies any improprieties, but the
question arises: Why would lobbyists kick in all that
money to a congressman not seriously challenged for
reelection unless they expected something in return?
Just a little bit west of the Lewis district lies that of
Gary Miller, unopposed for reelection last year. Miller
allegedly saved thousands of dollars by deferring more
than $3 million in tax payments due after his 2002 sale
of 165 acres to the city of Monrovia. Miller, denying
wrongdoing of any kind, also is under fire for inserting
provisions into a major transportation bill benefiting a
real estate developer who has been one of his leading
campaign donors - at a time when he didn't have to
campaign because he ran unopposed.
And there is John Doolittle of Rocklin, who
acknowledges that his lawyers have talked with federal prosecutors about his relationship with Abramoff.
Doolittle also admitted to paying a fund-raising firm
owned by his wife more than $67,000 from campaign
funds, thus moving campaign cash into his family's
personal hands.
Of these three, only Doolittle had trouble getting
reelected last year. For sure, all will have serious
Democratic opposition if they run next year.
The best thing Nehring could do for his party would
be to convince all three troubled incumbents to retire
and let other Republicans have a go at winning their
"safe" seats. The districts are solidly enough
Republican that almost any untainted GOP candidate
could hold them.
If all three choose to seek reelection, the party will
have to hold its nose and put so much effort and money
into saving them that there won't be much left for challenges to sitting Democrats.
So far, though, all three act like they plan to run,
even if it means disaster for their party elsewhere in
California - and maybe in their own districts, too.

Patients plead for pills, even when they are not what they need
By SUSAN ABRAM
Los Angeles Daily News
LOS ANGELES -- As soon as she was diagnosed with high cholesterol, Maritza Cuestas got
a prescription for medication from her doctor.
The 50-year-old Palmdale resident took the
pills for a while but stopped because they gave her
headaches.
“I don’t like taking pills,” Cuestas said.
“Doctors give you something to try, but they don’t
really know if it’s something you need.”
Cuestas is now drinking celery juice, a tonic
that her mother in El Salvador swears will help
reduce cholesterol.
Cuestas’ co-worker Josie Carrasco of Sylmar
stands by garlic as a remedy for high cholesterol.
But in general, many Americans simply take a
pill for high cholesterol and almost any other
affliction -- something Cuestas and Carrasco find
frightening.
“It’s not that there are too many pills; it’s that
people abuse them out of ignorance,” Cuestas said
as the two recently ate lunch in Woodland Hills.
“A lot of people prefer pills instead of eating
right, instead of exercising.”

Some health experts blame America’s obsession with instant cures -- overeagerness to be
“pilled” and patched -- on time constraints in an
overworked society impatient to wait for results of
lifestyle changes to kick in.
It is the American way.
“If you think about American culture, some
people would say, ‘Why take a pill?’ Others will
say, ‘Why not?’ Americans have a very can-do
enjoy drinking even five
cups a day with no ill effects
from the caffeine jolt, Willet
says drink up. In fact, it
counts as part of your fluid
intake. It seems the caffeine
doesn’t counteract hydration
as previously thought. A
report from the U.S. government’s Institute of Medicine
found that coffee quenches
thirst as effectively as water.
And here’s another potential benefit of stopping for a
coffee. If you order a latte,
often made with a cup of
milk, your coffee choice can
deliver a healthy dose of calcium. That’s important
because two out of three
Americans fail to get enough
calcium.
For example, a grande
latte at Starbucks provides
450 milligrams of calcium,
or 45 percent of the daily
value needed for women. Up
that to a venti latte, and
you’re looking at 1,000 milligrams of calcium, supplying 60 percent of the daily
value. Of course, nutritionists advise that you choose
skim or nonfat milk in your
latte to save some calories
and eliminate the fat.

attitude, and we’re not very patient,” said Carol
Scott, professor of marketing at the University of
California, Los Angeles.
In its first week available without a prescription, the new diet pill Alli (pronounced like the
word “ally”) was reportedly selling briskly despite
widely reported side effects such as involuntary
bowel movements and other intestinal discomforts.
GlaxoSmithKline, which makes Alli, declined
to give overall sales figures so far. “We do know
sales were ahead of expectations,” said Malesia
Dunn, spokeswoman for the company.
In 2002, the last year for which data were available, 45 percent of all Americans were taking at
least one prescription drug, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Pharmaceutical companies and many doctors
praise the promising research to develop drugs
that will cure deadly diseases like cancer or allow
people with some mental illnesses to carry on relatively normal lives. But critics say Americans are
becoming too dependent overall -- especially on
feel-good, lifestyle drugs.
“If you go to a doctor and he or she doesn’t
suggest a prescription, you feel like you’re not
getting treatment,” said Louis Rubino, the Health
Sciences Department director at California State
University, Northridge.
“It’s wonderful we have the research and new
discoveries, but look what we’re doing. We’re
using pills for erections, to elevate our moods, to
sleep.”
Heavy use of prescription drugs has created its
own problems, some doctors say. Rubino pointed
to the overuse of antibiotics, which some worried
moms seek whenever little Joey sniffles.
“Antibiotics aren’t working any longer because
there are different strains of illnesses that have
become resistant,” Rubino said.
The California Medical Association
Foundation launched an educational campaign
almost 10 years ago to warn against overusing
antibiotics. By 2000, foundation officials say, 30
percent of infections in California were resistant.
Mass marketing
Part of the problem is aggressive advertising by
drug companies eager to make it appear that the
solution to everyone’s problem can be found in
what they are selling, critics say.
Several groups, including the California
Medical Association, are opposed to direct advertising to consumers.
“Advertisers, if they are really successful, are
able to tap into emotions and tendencies already

there,” Scott said. “Those commercials are really
good at getting people to see their physician and
request that drug. The whole idea of advertising is,
they tell you, you can always be better.”
And not at least offered a prescription, a patient
can feel deprived.
Tea for two: In Los Angeles’ predominantly
Latino neighborhoods, prescription drugs tend to
be viewed with some suspicion among newcomers, though attitudes begin to change as American
values seep into households.
“When I was growing up, my grandmother
believed in herbs,” said Maria Sierra, 47, whose
family has lived in the city of San Fernando for
several generations.
“My grandmother didn’t have a normal backyard like everyone else,” Sierra said. “Her backyard was filled with flowers and herbs for teas.
Strangers would show up ... (on) her doorstep to
ask for remedies.”
Sierra said once, when she was uninsured, her
mother gave her a tea to alleviate pain in her kidneys.
“Now that I work (and am insured), now that
I’m older, I’ll take the pills,” she said.
Still, Rosie Jadidian, pharmacy director for
Northeast Valley Health Corporation, said some
Latino patients are hesitant to take their pills prescribed for chronic health conditions such as high
blood pressure and diabetes.
“When they don’t really see or feel what the
disease is doing, it takes a long time to warm up to
a medication. ... I see a lot of motivation when
they are here and they see a doctor, but then not so
much enthusiasm once they get it home,” Jadidian
said.
Jadidian said patients have to be told directly
what will happen if they do not take their pills.
“The issue hits them more when you tell men,
for example, that if you don’t control your high
blood pressure, it can cause erectile dysfunction.”
Where does it stop? The number of prescriptions dispensed to U.S. patients increased by 4.6
percent in 2006, after a 3.2 percent increase in
2005. The increase was fueled by the Medicare
Part D benefit, more use of generic drugs and the
introduction of new drugs targeted to specific diseases such as cancer and diabetes, according to
IMS Health, a consulting firm.
“This growth was driven by factors that include
an aging population and the Medicare prescription
drug benefit,” an IMS report says.
The company predicts that sales growth will
continue to increase moderately through 2010 as
more generic products enter the market.

Furia claims first modified win of the season
Pittman scores
second Bonus
Bomber win in a row
by Curtis Clauson
The “King of the Hill Challenge
Series” continued at the Ukiah
Speedway last Saturday night. Also
featured were the Westcar Late Model
Series and the Pro-4 Modifieds.
Terry McIntire of Lakeport set the
Modified fast time of 13.450s. David
Furia of Healdsburg, who had already
returned from a long injury recovery,
proved just how fast he was feeling by
winning the main event ahead of a tangled finish.
The Bonus Bomber fast time of
24.767s was set by Andy Vander Veer
of Santa Rosa. Terry Pittman avoided
an early set of crashes to lead and win
his second main event in as many outings.
The Westcar Late Model fast time
of 13.133s was set by Dave Byrd of
Monterey. In his first Westcar outing,
Mike Doss of Nice won the main event
ahead of points leader Gary Glenn.
Ken Gifford of Cobb set the Pro-4
Modified fast time of 13.852s. In a last
lap pass, Andy Leuzinger of Lakeport
claimed the main event win.
Ron Duke Sr. of Redwood Valley
set the Bomber fast time of 15.646s
and also out-powered the field for the
main event win.
Pro-4 Modifieds
John Barker and Codi Barba led the
nine car Pro-4 Modified field to the
start. Barker and Kevin Barba got
shuffled to the back as Andy
Leuzinger, Joe Sloan, and Ken Gifford
made their way from the back toward
the front.
Willie Leuzinger, Joe Sloan, and A.
Leuzinger all got their turn at challenging the lead of C. Barba. In lap 20,
A. Leuzinger gained second and started a dogged 10 lap pursuit that ended
with a last lap pass for the lead.
A. Leuzinger finished first ahead of
Barker and followed by Gifford, W.
Leuzinger, and Jake Tillman. Greg
VanCleave won the trophy dash and
Sloan the heat race.
Modifieds
The Modified main event hosted a
field of 17 cars with Kevin Estep and
Andrew Snider in the poll row. A firstlap caution brought things to a halt as
Codi Barba spun in the back.
After things were restarted, as
Snider faded back, first Sean Caturegli
and then David Furia took second. By
lap 10, Scott Sabol claimed third
ahead of Caturegli and Mark Marek.
Furia chased Estep for 12 laps until, in
lap 22, a yellow was thrown when Bob
Strauss broke an A-arm and ended up
off and over turn three into a dirt
mound.
Estep and Furia restarted the field
and, one lap later, Furia had the lead
when Snider and K. Barba tangled
sending them into the turn four tire
wall. Furia and Estep restarted the
field ahead of Sabol and Marek. Sabol
took second in lap 26.
Further back, Thomas Wright,
Derrick Crayford, and Terry McIntire
had claimed fifth through seventh. For
14 laps these three would tussle until
the white flag when Crayford had
claimed fifth. In that final lap, things
got crazy behind Crayford causing
McIntire and Wright to lose a lot of
positions.
Furia claimed the checkers, followed by Sabol, Estep, Marek, and
Crayford. Dustin DeRosier won the
trophy dash.
Bonus Bombers
Fifteen Bonus Bombers made the
main event and were led to the green
flag by Trent Campbell and Galdino
Guevara. Eric Williamson immediately let the field pass him. Mike Lovell,
Jared Martin, Bill Mucci, and George
Mavrakis all quickly passed David
Jones for third through sixth. A lap six
yellow put Guevara and Andy Vander
Veer to the back and sent Jones to the
pits.
Campbell and Martin restarted the
field. In four laps, Lovell, Martin,
Mavrakis, Keith Nelson, and Terry
Pittman had all passed Campbell.
Mavrakis and Martin tangled in turn
three and brought out the lap nine caution.
During this caution, Nelson was
black-flagged for ramming Lovell
under the yellow. Lovell had to retire
to the pits.
This put Pittman and Campbell in
the lead for the restart. Campbell was
quickly shuffled back as Mucci, Ray
Rosales, Vander Veer, and Eric
Johnson fell into second through fifth.
By lap 16, Vander Veer had claimed
second, followed by Mucci, Johnson,
Martin, and Rosales.
By lap 20, Mucci was shuffled back
by Johnson, Martin, and Mavrakis,
and Williamson was being lapped,
when Mike Marcum spun on the backstretch bringing out another caution.
Pittman and Vander Veer restarted
the field and the lapping of Williamson
put Martin in third followed by
Johnson, Mavrakis, and Mucci. In lap
27, Mavrakis passed Johnson for
fourth.
For the remaining three laps,
Vander Veer tried to chase down
Pittman while Martin and Mavrakis
battled for third.
At the checkers it was Pittman.
Vander Veer and Mavrakis were disqualified in post-race technical inspection placing Martin in second followed
by Johnson, Mucci, and Rosales.
Martin won the trophy dash, and
Mucci and Mavrakis the heat races.
Bombers
A full field of 18 Bombers started
the main event. Richie Schwarm and
Ronald Portlock transferred from the
B-Main event. Robert Byers and Jon
Waner started the pack ahead of
Jimmy Sorrels and Mike Bray. George
Abella immediately retired to the pits
as Byers took the lead.
Sorrels and Waner fought for second as Jerry Wilkins and Zack Jenkins
battled for fourth, but things get squir-
relly and Wilkins was stuck in the
back.
By lap 10, Shelby Helm, Ron Duke
Sr., and Wendy Ray Pierce made it up
to fifth through seventh. In the next
few laps, Sorrels took second from
Waner, Duke took fifth from Helm
behind Jenkins, and Manya Tenney
took seventh from Pierce.
Contact amongst the leaders caused
Jenkins to lose a few laps and sent
Byers to the back giving Sorrels the
lead. Duke made short work of Waner
for second.
In lap 22, as Byers was being
lapped, Duke powered out ahead of
Sorrels for the lead. Helm and Tenney
passed Waner for third and fourth, and
Wilkins had climbed back up to sixth
ahead of Pierce and Bray.
In lap 28, as the leaders were now
lapping Schwarm, Richie Hoven and
Jenkins tangled and spun in turn three
bringing out a caution. This set up a
green-white-checker finish.
Duke easily out-powered Sorrels
for the lead, and Tenney and Helm
were stuck behind the lapped
Schwarm and passed by Waner and
Pierce.
Duke finished first, followed by
Sorrels, Waner, Pierce, and Tenney.
Helm won the trophy dash, and
Mainini, Waner, and Abella the heat
races.

Swiss star Federer wins Wimbledon opener in straight sets
By STEPHEN WILSON
AP Sports Writer
“I was pretty pleased with my performance. It was pretty solid. [Gabashvili] played a decent match...”
WIMBLEDON, England —
Roger Federer came onto Centre
Court at Wimbledon dressed like a
player from a bygone era. He then
played like his usual modern-day
great self.
The top-ranked Swiss star began
his bid for an Open
era record-equaling
fifth consecutive
Wimbledon title
Monday by beating
T e i m u r a z
Gabashvili
of
Russia 6-3, 6-2, 6-4
on a cool and wet
opening day at the
All England Club.
Other winners
included third-seeded Andy Roddick
and two-time champion Serena
Williams, who said she has been
receiving treatment for a previously
undisclosed hamstring problem.
It was Federer’s 49th consecutive
grass-court victory and 29th straight
at Wimbledon, a streak dating to
2003. With six more victories over
the next two weeks, he would
become the first player to win five
straight championships since Bjorn
Bjorg in 1976-80.
“It was OK,” Federer said. “I was
pretty pleased with my performance.
It was pretty solid. He played a
decent match, so I had to come up
with some decent shots once in a
while.”
The man Federer has beaten in
two finals, third-seeded Andy
Roddick, also got off to a strong
start, beating fellow American Justin
Gimelstob 6-1, 7-5, 7-6 (3) on Court
1. Roddick served 16 aces, broke
three times and never lost serve.
Gimelstob is 0-6 this year since
returning from back surgery.
In women’s play, top-seeded
Justine Henin beat Argentine qualifier Jorgelina Cravero 6-3, 6-0 to start
her chase for a first Wimbledon title
to complete a career Grand Slam.
Seventh-seeded Williams, down 5-4
in the first set, won eight straight
games to defeat Lourdes Dominguez
Lino of Spain 6-4, 6-0.
Williams, who was far from her
best in the first set, said she has been
bothered by a tight hamstring.

slowly but surely,” she said. “I’m

“You couldn’t get any closer than
being two match points down,” she
said.
Hingis hadn’t played a match
since losing in the German Open a
month and a half ago because of hip
and back injuries, and she looked
rusty against a 232nd-ranked teenager playing in only her second Grand
Slam match.
Hingis fell behind 3-0 after just
seven minutes but came back to lead
5-4. Cavaday saved three set points
in the next game and swept through
the tiebreaker, losing just one point.
Cavaday was up 5-4 in the second
set, and had two match points on
Hingis’ serve. She hit a forehand
return into the net on the first, and
Hingis wrong-footed her with a forehand winner on the second. Hingis
held and never looked back, winning
the rest of the games and closing out
the third set in 20 minutes.
“I was just like, no, this is not
going to happen to me, not here
again at Wimbledon,” Hingis said. “I
never lost on Court 2. I know it’s a
graveyard of champions, but it’s
never been to me.”

THE UKIAH DAILY JOURNAL
Nick Young’s journey of loss, redemption and basketball
By BETH HARRIS
AP Sports Writer
LOS ANGELES — By all
rights, Nick Young wasn’t
supposed to be a college basketball star. He flunked out of
two high schools. His brother
died in a drive-by shooting.
Now, the Southern California
player is set to be chosen in
this week’s NBA draft and
earn millions of dollars.
His struggle is portrayed in
“Second Chance Season.” The
documentary debuted last
week at the Los Angeles Film
Festival, where a third screening is scheduled for Sunday.
“Now and then, a kind of
special story picks me,” said
Daniel H. Forer, the director/co-producer. “It was a
remarkable journey.”
Forer discovered Young,
one of the city’s most heralded
prep stars, in early 2003 while
working on a cable pilot about
basketball. Intrigued by his
background, Forer followed
Young’s appeals with the Los
Angeles Unified School
District to get back into high
school. Days before his senior
year was to begin, Young was
admitted to Cleveland High in
suburban Reseda.
“I’m not the smartest person, but sit down and work
with me,” Young says on camera. “I know what to do.”
The film follows Young’s
attempts to score at least 800
on the SAT exam to earn a
basketball scholarship to
USC, a private school with
hefty tuition. On each of three
tries, he gets special tutoring
and extra time on the test. The
camera zooms in as he repeatedly opens the score results.
“It started off pretty cool,
but some days it got kind of
overwhelming,” Young said in
an interview about the film.
“It was hard.”
In between Young’s academic lows, he leads Cleveland
High against rival Taft High
and Jordan Farmar, a close
friend whom Young saw get
more acclaim and be drafted
by the Los Angeles Lakers.
At home, the Young family’s emotions careen between
joy at Nick’s basketball
prowess and anger about the
killing. There is also worry
about another son whose emotional problems landed him in
a group home and concern
about Nick’s test scores.
Forer’s cameras capture the
family’s life in their modest
three-bedroom apartment and
the mounting pressure on
Nick to succeed.
“It’s just right on,” Charles
Sr. said, referring to the film.
“It helped my son and my

family get through some hard
times. We’ve gotten used to
the idea that my son is dead
and isn’t coming back. We
have to push the kids we have
now in their careers.”
Especially Nick... Young is
projected as a top-20 pick in
Thursday’s NBA draft, with
some experts considering him
as the second-best shooting
guard behind Corey Brewer of
national champion Florida.
First-round picks receive
guaranteed contracts.
“Maybe he’ll get a high
draft choice and make a lot of
money, then I can retire,” said
Charles Sr., who has supported his family by driving moving vans and hauling other
people’s stuff for 29 years.
“I’m getting nervous,”
Nick said. “Everybody keeps
saying it’s a big draft and you
don’t know where you’re
going to end up. I’m so used
to being an L.A. city guy and
I could be out of there.”
Young has yet to live away
from home, having stayed
with his family during his
three seasons at USC.
“Nick is kind of a
momma’s boy,” his father
said.
Young’s mother, Mae, was
a stay-at-home mom to the
couple’s five sons — Charles
Jr., Andre, Terrell, John and
Nick, the baby.

“I’m always out in the
field, my wife would always
be there for them,” Charles Sr.
said. “That way I wouldn’t
have to worry about them,
they wouldn’t get in gangs.”
In 1991, when Nick was 5,
Charles Jr. was killed in a park
shooting witnessed by his
pregnant fiancee, who recalls
the scene in the movie.
Basketball fans familiar
with Young’s outgoing persona see another side of him
in the film. He cries and
laments never getting the
chance to say goodbye. He
says that before every game
he talks to the brother he idolized. The convicted triggerman, identified in the movie
as Marcus, did seven years in

Marcus, who appears in the
movie talking about the murder he committed at 15. After
prison, Marcus left gang life
and now works as a recruiter
for law firms.
The movie delves into
Marcus’ flashbacks of the
shooting and his regret, along
with Charles Sr.’s desire for
vengeance and Mae’s contempt for her son’s killer.
Charles Sr. considers meeting
Marcus, but it doesn’t happen.
“He killed my son,”
Charles Sr. said in an interview. “There’s nothing that he
can say to me that’s going to
change my mind about him.”
Forer still thinks the two
men will end up meeting.
“Charles has some demons
that he’s still dealing with,”
the director said. “Marcus has
a message that he is uniquely
qualified to share. He wants to
be an example.”
Forer hopes to land a distribution deal for the 94-minute
movie with a major studio or
cable TV network. Charles Sr.
hopes the film sends the message that tragedy shouldn’t
keep people down forever.
“You can move on and
accomplish your own goals,”
he said. “This has been a
dream of Nick’s since he was
a kid. Everybody should have
a dream. If you ain’t got a
dream, you ain’t living.”

Nearly 1 million American children use personal fitness trainers
By JAMIE STENGLE
The Associated Press
DALLAS -- Nearly a million American
youngsters, some as young as 6, rely on personal trainers to shape up, lose weight or
improve in sports, according to figures from
the nation’s leading sports club association.
Many parents, worried about their children’s
weight and fitness, say working with a trainer
motivates their kids and helps build confidence. So they are willing to spend the $40 to
$60 an hour that trainers generally charge.
“We are seeing children that are out of shape
where their parents realize the exercise program needs to be safe and effective,” said Joe
Moore, president of International Health,
Racquet and Sportsclub Association. “A personal trainer is a good way to make sure that
the criteria are met.”
The Boston-based group’s latest figures,
from 2005, show that 824,000 children
between the ages of 6 and 17 use trainers -- a
figure that accounts for about 13 percent of
trainers’ clients.
With many high school students not getting
exercise at school unless they play a sport,
more parents are turning to trainers to help
their children stay fit, said Carla Sottovia,
assistant fitness director at Dallas’ Cooper
Fitness Center.
More than one-third of American children
are overweight and experts warn of future
health problems ahead from diabetes to heart
disease.
Kathleen Ballew decided her 7-year-old son,
Jordan Sims, who will begin second grade in
the fall, could benefit from some one-on-one
time with a fitness professional. She had
noticed he needed help with balance and coordination in soccer and karate. She’d also
observed he was reluctant to do things kids
normally do, like climbing on park equipment.
“I also just want to get him in the habit of
making exercise part of daily routine,” said
Ballew, who described her son as just a little
overweight. She fears it’s something he’ll have
to struggle with as he grows up.
Since Jordan began working out at Baylor
Tom Landry Fitness Center in Dallas with a
trainer about a year ago, he moves more naturally and confidently, his mother said.
His trainer, Lauren Jacobson, works with
about half a dozen kids under 18. She said
she’s noticed that training helps build confidence and a sense of accomplishment, along
with helping kids get in better shape.
Zachary Edgerton, 18, who graduated this
spring from a Dallas-area high school, has
been working out with a trainer since his
sophomore year.
He was in the middle of doing a makeover
on his body after he began jogging as a 5-foot2, 210-pound eighth-grader. By the end of his
sophomore year, he’d lost about 60 pounds.
Edgerton, who saw a trainer for a time during
middle school, decided training was a good
way to get more toned.
“I was done being a fat kid and I wanted to
get in shape and feel good,” said Edgerton,
now 5-foot-7 and 165.
Dr. LeAnn Kridelbaugh, a pediatrician and
nutrition specialist at Children’s Medical
Center Dallas, said that if parents have the
resources for a personal trainer and their teen
wants to do it, having a set appointment can be
a good motivator to exercise.
“If you have the money and you feel that
your late adolescent is going to get in shape
and be more fit by using a personal trainer, I
don’t think that most pediatricians would have
a problem with that,” she said.
She cautions though that for children who
have not yet reached puberty it’s important that
the trainer know how to work with kids whose
bodies are still developing.
Kridelbaugh also points out that kids can get
the exercise they need on their own by swimming, riding bikes, jumping rope or taking
walks with their family. And something as simple as playing catch can improve coordination,
she said.
“They can probably accomplish just as

nuts can actually help with
weight loss by providing concentrated protein and fat that
takes the edge off hunger. If
you want roasted nuts rather
than raw nuts look for those
which have been “dry roasted” or roast your own at home
to avoid cooking oil. Read the

hidden ingredients such as
corn syrup or other additives.
Selection and storage of
nuts is important so that they
do not become rancid. Nuts in
their shells have the longest

Kridelbaugh said.
It’s important that it be fun, she said.
Parents don’t always find that easy to do,
however. Kathleen McGowan said she’s been

daughter’s trainer puts into their workout sessions -- something she doesn’t think she would

shelf life. Those sold in hermetically sealed containers
will last longer than those sold
in bulk containers since they
are less exposed to heat and
air. If you do buy nuts from
bulk bins make sure that the
bins are well sealed and that
there is a rapid turnover of the
contents. Once at home, to
prolong freshness place them
in the refrigerator or in the
freezer if you will be keeping
them for many months.
For a special treat try this
recipe for Teriyaki Almonds:
2 cups almonds
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
1⁄4 teaspoon onion powder
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1⁄2 teaspoon ginger
1⁄4 teaspoon garlic powder
Heat oven to 325 degrees
F. Place nuts in a 13 x 9-inch
pan. Bake for 5 minutes.
In a bowl, combine soy
sauce, lemon juice, and brown
sugar. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Stir in oil, ginger, salt,
garlic and onion powder. Add
heated almonds. Toss to coat
nuts. Return nuts to baking
pan. Bake 10 minutes longer,
turning once. Cool and store
in an airtight container.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19) -- A difficult situation
can be lessoned considerably
if you allow the solution to

Answer: What the dairy farmer milked when he was
kicked by old Betsy — SYMPATHY
Mistress is afraid that her lover’s fiancee is exploiting him
ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: I’m in love with an engaged
man, but unfortunately, he isn’t engaged to me.
He knows how I feel and has told me he has
similar feelings. We know we aren’t doing the
smartest thing, but we both believe a little bit is
better than nothing at all.
The problem arises with his fiancee. I don’t
dislike her, but I am concerned about her effect
on him. There have been times when I believe
she’s hacked into his e-mail account because
letters of mine were sent to everyone in his
address book. She also spread rumors around
that he beat her, which I find completely
absurd, and I think at one point, she might have
staged a near rape to earn sympathy.
I feel he should be told, but if it comes from
me, I’m afraid I’ll just come off as jealous and
spiteful. So far, I’ve tried to let him notice
things on his own, but I think he may purposely be blinding himself to certain of her actions
to avoid being hurt. Should I tell him my con-

cerns or just leave things as they are? -- Fearful
in Love
Dear Fearful: This guy is engaged to someone else and fooling around with you, and
you’re worried his fiancee is taking advantage
of him? Open your eyes and take a closer look.
If the two of you are so in love, he should have
the decency to break off the engagement. If he
won’t, you can be sure it’s because he doesn’t
care for you as much as you think, and it won’t
matter if you spill the beans or not. Get out of
this relationship before you become the Other
Woman in his marriage, writing us that you’re
a wreck because he won’t leave his wife.
TUESDAY EVENING
6/26/07 6:00 6:30 7:00 7:30 8:00 8:30 9:00 9:30 10:00 10:30 11:00
Dear Annie: My daughter is 22 and has
made a choice to remain a virgin until marriage. The problem? Her doctor.
The last two times “Chloe” went to her
gynecologist, the female doctor asked if she
was on birth control. When my daughter
explained she was a virgin, the doctor didn’t
believe her and kept saying, “You can tell me
the truth.” Chloe repeated that she had decided
to remain a virgin until marriage. The doctor
kept insisting that Chloe be “honest” with her.
Today, Chloe told me she went to the same
doctor to ask if birth control pills would help
regulate her menstrual cycle. The doctor told
her she had to get a pregnancy test first, even
though Chloe reiterated that she was not sexually active. Chloe was so humiliated, she has
decided to change physicians.
What is wrong with doctors these days? Is it
so inconceivable that a young woman would be
a virgin? -- Mother of a Virgin
Dear Mother: Doctors who have often been
on the receiving end of less- than-truthful
patients can become cynical and, when pre-
scribing birth control pills, feel safer requiring
a pregnancy test. But it is unconscionable to
repeatedly imply that a patient is a liar. Chloe
is right to find someone more suitable.
Dear Annie: I’d like to tell “Cautiously
Optimistic” that some anger problems cannot
be fixed by anger management. Sometimes it’s
a chemical imbalance.
My brother and I both had anger issues all
our lives and only recently discovered, in our
50s, that we need medical help. I used to be
angry at other people for not getting upset at
things that upset me. After I had been on medication for a while, I realized this must be what
normal people feel like. It was enlightening.
My brother had a horrible breakdown before
he got proper medical help. I hope
“Optimistic’s” boyfriend can receive help
without being judged, and at an earlier age than
we did. -- Finally Feeling Better
Dear Finally: How unfortunate it took so
long for you and your brother to get help. We
hope “Optimistic’s” boyfriend and others like
him will call their doctors today.

ADVERTISING
gets snipped. gets saved.
gets sales!
With so many advertising
mediums dividing the attention of
potential customers, newspapers
remain the most effective source
for reaching consumers. Why?
Simply put, newspapers reach
more people, more often. Highly
portable and highly visible,
newspaper ads go with people
and stay with them.
That means your business is more
likely to be on their minds when
they’re in the market for related
products or services. When it
comes to spending your
advertising dollars, make the
choice that’s tried and true:
Newspaper advertising works
harder for you.

“It’s going to open the door
for an onslaught of dozens of
new vaccines being mandated
on our kids,” Rollens said.
AB 16 originally would
have required girls as young
as 11 to be vaccinated against
human papilloma virus, a sexually transmitted organism
that can cause cervical cancer.
But that drew vigorous
opposition from conservatives
who argued that the vaccine,
Gardasil, has not been adequately tested and should not
be required for young girls.
“These are health decisions
that should be left up to a parent,” said Karen England,
executive director of Capitol
Resource Institute, a pro-family public policy organization.
Others
disagree.
Considering how many
women are infected with HPV
at some point in their lives,
Planned Parenthood supported both the original and current versions of the bill, said
Chris Lee, spokesman for the
Shasta Diablo chapter.
“It’s a public health issue,”
he said.
AB 16 has passed the
Assembly and will be heard in
the
Senate
Education
Committee Wednesday morning.
It would impose a five-year
waiting period from the time

required in California.
At that point, the state

period if he or she determines
there is a shortage of the vaccine, that it is not adequately
covered by insurance, or that a
delay is necessary to protect
public health.
Hernandez noted in an
interview Monday that the
Legislature will not abandon
its power to re-address the
issue of a mandatory immunization.
Children would have to be
immunized to attend public
schools, unless a parent
signed a letter stating immunizations are contrary to their
beliefs.
While this is the current
policy, many parents are
unaware of such opt-out
options, Hernandez said. His
bill would increase notification for parents.
Because the federal advisory committee in 2006 recommended the HPV vaccine be
mandatory for women age 11
to 26, it would most likely be
required in California in 2011
if Hernandez’s bill passes.
The California Medical
Association backs the bill in
the belief that it would enable
the state to be more nimble in
responding to federal recommendations. As it is now, each
change requires a vote by the
Legislature.
Rollens and other parents
of autistic children counter
that the Advisory Committee
on Immunization Practices is
rife with conflicts of interest
because some of its members
have links to drug manufacturers as a result of funding
for research projects.
More than 300 new vaccines are in development,
Rollens notes, including shots

conditions as nicotine addiction, diarrhea, stomach ulcers
and mononucleosis.
He noted that the committee rarely says no to a new

it condition-wise. I’d just as
soon sit on the ground, because
then I’d know there’s no fires
going, but the conditions are
ripe, from what I’ve seen.”
During such a fire season,
the resources available to
Ukiah through the Air Attack
Base become important not
only to the property and lives
of county residents, but also to
the safety of ground crews
working to put out the fire.
“As far as for firefighter
safety,” Baker said, “it is very
important to have the aircraft,
because they’re quick, they
have good visibility, they can
see what’s going on, they can
warn ground personnel and
advise ground personnel as to
what the fire’s doing, and have
the ability to apply aerial fire
retardants to slow the spread of
the fire. We’re definitely a
safety factor up there, no doubt
Plants

Wattenburger and Delbar
have been working on the
issue for six months.
Wattenburger said the audience at Monday’s morning
meeting was about a dozen
people, much smaller than the
crowd that appeared at the last
committee meeting.
Many of them are urging 25
plants per person citing
Measure G - a county ballot
measure which “legalized”
pot growing in the county for
anyone, up to 25 plants. The
measure does not override
state and federal laws which
still outlaw recreational marijuana and is more an advisory
measure to define a “mom and
pop” marijuana garden, something top law enforcement in
the county in the past decade
has agreed to ignore.
about it.”
According to Baker, the aircraft have a response time of
15 to 20 minutes for any fire in
the county. The Air Attack
Base resources include not
only their two tankers and the
Air Attack plane, but also
Copter 101.
“In a nut shell, the air
tankers are the ones that apply
the product, that actually put
the retardant or the gel on the
ground,” Baker said. “The Air
Attack is an aerial platform
that coordinates the air show
from above and coordinates
with the ground personnel as
well. It’s like an aerial air traffic controller.”
The firefighting tankers use
two
different
products,
depending on the type of fuel is
feeding the fire, Baker said.
The first type is the gel product, and the second is a longterm, clay-based fire retardant.
The pilots of these air
tankers have to undergo years
of flight experience to even
consider taking on the high
stress job, said Baker, and usually show an extreme level of
dedication.
“To be a pilot goes miles
beyond training,” Baker said.
“You’ve got to have a super
desire to do it first of all. Then
you have to go out into the
world and get tons of experience -- thousands and thousands of hours -- before they’ll
even allow you to begin to
think about doing this job.
Then they normally start you
out in the OV-10, and you sit
there for years until your
seniority number’s high. . .
There’s guys that’ve been in
that for 10, 15 years that’re still
waiting their turn to get into
the tanker. This is my 31st season. I couldn’t envision life
without doing it.”
With all the resources available to firefighters, the best
way for the residents of
Mendocino County to ensure
the safety of their property and
their families is to practice prevention methods on their property, said Brown.
“The biggest thing I would
advise the constituents of
Mendocino County would be
... to have their defensible
space,” Brown said referring to
the requirement that property
owners clear tall grass, brush
and low hanging branches
from around homes. “That is
the biggest thing that can help
them out. The new laws state
100 feet or to the property
line.”
These recommendations are
not always adequate, Brown
said. Depending on the type of
building material used, the fuel
types and topography of where
the structure is built, a larger
perimeter may be necessary.
Marking your address clearly
so that ground firefighters can
find you is also an important
safety tip.
“A big part of fire service is
prevention,” Brown said, “and
prevention is education and
that’s educating the public on
what they can do to help themselves to protect their property
and their lives.”
When medical marijuana
advocates cite Measure G as
the standard for growing in
the
county
however
Wattenburger disagrees saying that Measure G is about
recreational use - which is
still illegal - not medical use.
For now, he says, he and
Delbar have agreed to ask the
other three board members to
discuss the per person number
on Aug. 7 and if they can
agree on that number, then he
and Delbar will go back and
do more work on coming up
with other regulations, like the
total number of plants to be
allowed per parcel and what to
do about dispensaries.
Wattenburger also wants to
have an “educational component on how to grow safe marijuana. That’s a big issue of
mine.”
Wattenburger said that
while many at the meeting
were urging a 25-plant ceiling,
there are medical marijuana
patients who say that six to
eight plants is really plenty.
Wattenburger said he’s
been told and he believes that
many medical marijuana
patients and caregivers are
growing the maximum number of plants, using only half a
dozen or so and making a
pretty profit on the rest.
And that, he says, is what
brings in the criminal element
and what he calls a “brand
new migrant work force in
this county,” young people
streaming into the county
from all across the nation to
make $25 an hour working for
marijuana growers during the
main harvest season in the
fall.
“I am 125 percent behind
people who need the marijuana as medicine, but its the bad
element that always ruins it
for the people that are trying
to do good.”
Wattenburger recalled that
in 2006, county Agricultural
Commissioner
Dave
Bengston and the Sheriff’s
office told supervisors that the
value of pot in the county was
$1 billion.
Now, he says Sheriff
Allman tells him that he
believes there are 10 times as
many plants in the ground this
year as last.
“That scares me to death,”
Wattenburger said.
