Though the Ukiah Theatre is certainly the
most visible and recent sign of public cinema in
the area, it was hardly the first.
In June 1905, the Empire Kinetoscope
Company began giving regular performances
every Saturday evening in Ukiah. Children were
charged 10 cents apiece to get in, while adults

Mail scam reported to law enforcement
The Daily Journal
Something in the mail was the reason a Ukiah
resident called local law enforcement Tuesday.
According to information given to the
Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office, a phony
check and instructions for a scam were delivered

The letter delivered to the State Street residence was from a business called the “Windsor

Marijuana raids from Tuesday
through Thursday resulted in the
arrests of people from Oregon, Florida,
Michigan, California and Mexico at
locations near Covelo.
Earlier this week, authorities found
large marijuana plants, guns, processed
marijuana and other drugs in an investigation that began in past weeks.
“Deputies from the Mendocino
County Sheriff’s Office, California
Department of Justice, CAMP,
Mendocino County Major Crimes Task
Force, DEA, Mendocino County
Probation, Ukiah Police Department
and the California Highway Patrol
conducted a series of marijuana raids
in the Covelo area,” a Sheriff’s Office
report stated Thursday.
According to the report, no evidence
or claim of medical marijuana was
made when the warrants were served.
The arrests were made in the
Mendocino Pass Road and Bently
Ridge areas of the Covelo region.
Blake Hastings, 27, of Covelo, and
Joeyah Ruiz, 26, of Mexico, were
arrested after a warrant was served at a
location near Mendocino Pass Road.
Law enforcement seized a 223 rifle, a
shotgun and 47 marijuana plants.
In the 30,000 block of Mendocino
Pass Road, Yesenia Deuluna, 30, of
Los Angeles, was arrested on suspicion
of having 120 marijuana plants and 15
pounds of processed marijuana.
The report stated that Deuluna also
possessed methamphetamine and illeSee MARIJUANA, Page A-11
ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE INDEX
Many local
schools didn’t
reach targets
By DAVID MINTON
The Daily Journal
The California Department of
Education recently released its 2008
“Academic Performance Index,” listing how the state’s schools measured
up to standards set forth in the federal
government’s 2001 No Child Left
Behind legislation.
NCLB is rooted in “theories of standards-based education reform ... which
is based on the belief that setting high
expectations and establishing measurable goals can improve individual outcomes in education,” according to
Wikipedia (online). “The Act requires
states to develop assessments in basic
skills to be given to all students in certain grades, if those states are to
receive federal funding for schools.”
Standards are set by individual states,
not by the federal government.
All students are tested and scores are
given, with various factors having a
final bearing on the end results. In
California, a score of 800 is strived for.
Schools are expected to show growth
(higher scores) every year until they
reach a score of 800.
Here are the 2008 scores for schools
in the Ukiah Unified School District,
with 2007 scores in parentheses:

After 2 frustrating days of traffic jams,
the message from Ike-battered
Galveston: Stay away
The world briefly
Asian stocks fall on financial fears
but pare losses as central banks
move to boost confidence
HONG KONG (AP) — Asia stocks tumbled further
Thursday, tracking declines on Wall Street as investors feared
more companies could succumb to the financial crisis that
forced the U.S. government to bail out insurer American
International Group Inc.
But many of the region’s benchmarks recovered from steep
early declines in afternoon trade, as the European Central Bank
said it was banding together with major central banks around
the world to flush more dollars into global markets to ensure
liquidity and shore up confidence. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng
Index, which sank more than 7 percent at one point, actually
turned positive before closing virtually unchanged, down about
0.03 percent, at 17,632 points. Tokyo’s Nikkei 225 index slid
2.2 percent to 11,489.30, a three-year low.
Investors were shaken by the Federal Reserve’s $85 billion
emergency loan to AIG, the huge U.S. insurer that lost billions
in the risky business of insuring against bond defaults and
became the latest victim of the historic financial turmoil that’s
engulfed Wall Street over the last year.
The crisis, a result of problems with souring mortgage debt
and restricted credit, has already brought down Wall Street
giants Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch and Bear Stearns. The
two independent investment banks left standing — Morgan
Stanley and Goldman Sachs Group — remained under scrutiny.
GALVESTON, Texas (AP) — Officials were stung by an illfated attempt to let residents and business owners “look and
leave” their hurricane-battered city, which only created frustrating traffic jams for two days. Now, their message is clear: Stay
away from Galveston.
There is talk of opening the island in pieces, but that plan is
not yet ready. An attempt to let evacuees return home all at once
quickly devolved into a logistical nightmare that left traffic
backed up for 20 miles. That only added to the evidence that
Galveston Island is far from ready to return to everyday life.
“We could not accommodate that many people at one time,”
city manager Steve LeBlanc said. “We were hoping to have
more of a trickle of cars than a tidal wave.”
It took only an hour for LeBlanc and others to realize that
Tuesday’s decision to reopen the island was a mistake. Traffic
started to back up almost immediately as residents all over the
state headed for the coast and clogged Interstate 45 — already
teeming with critically needed utility workers, repair crews and
police.
But the word that “look and leave” had ended almost as soon
as it began didn’t spread. After spending hours fuming in gridlocked traffic, hundreds were turned away Wednesday once
they finally arrived at the only bridge onto the island.

SACRAMENTO — Gov.
Arnold Schwarzenegger and
legislative leaders averted a historic budget veto Thursday,
agreeing to a compromise
spending plan that includes the
governor’s demands for budget
reform and scraps some of the
borrowing
gimmicks
he
opposed.
Facing a veto threat from
Schwarzenegger of the spending plan they’d approved just
days earlier and uncertain
whether they could muster the
two-thirds vote of the state
Legislature required to override
it, the four legislative leaders
met with the governor again
and agreed to many of his
demands.
They emerged from a midafternoon meeting saying they
would change the $143 billion
spending plan the Legislature
approved two days earlier.
“It appears we have a deal,”
Schwarzenegger spokesman
Aaron McLear said.
Lawmakers scheduled meetings of the state Assembly and
Senate to vote on the compromise plan Friday.
“We will be voting on the
compromise budget that the
five of us agreed to this morning,” said Assembly Speaker
Karen Bass, D-Los Angeles.
“Hopefully this will bring to an
end 80-plus painful days that
the state of California has gone
without a budget.”
The deal came 80 days into
California’s fiscal year, making
it the longest budget stalemate
in California history. Without a
spending plan, the state has
been forced to suspend billions
of dollars in payments to
schools, medical clinics, daycare centers and state vendors
since July 1.
In a move that would have
been the first in modern state
history, Schwarzenegger threatened to veto the entire budget
lawmakers approved shortly
after 2 a.m. Tuesday, calling it
fiscally irresponsible.
He criticized the plan for
failing to meet his demands for
a more robust rainy day fund.
He said the budget relied on
accounting gimmicks to close a
$15.2 billion deficit — such as
collecting an extra 10 percent of
workers’ income tax in advance
and repaying it later — that
could lead to an even larger
deficit next year.
The four legislative leaders
said they had agreed to remove
that provision in their latest
deal.
They planned to take up two
bills. One would levy larger
fines against businesses that
underreport their tax liabilities,
and another would ensure the
state’s rainy day fund could
only be tapped when revenues
fall below projected spending
— the last remaining piece of
the
budget
reforms
Schwarzenegger sought.
The remainder of the budget
approved Tuesday will stand,
including $7.1 billion in spending cuts that advocates say will
trigger deep cuts to health care
in the future.
It was unclear how soon
Schwarzenegger could sign the
new spending plan if lawmak-
ers in both houses approve it
today. However, the rainy day
fund and a proposal to borrow
$10 billion against anticipated
lottery revenues to help stabilize future budgets would
require voter approval, likely in
a special election early next
year.
“This is the year to fix it. I do
not want to kick this problem
down to next year,” the governor said Tuesday.
Legislative leaders agreed
with the governor that their previous plan to address the deficit
did nothing to solve the state’s
ongoing fiscal imbalance, but
said it was time to move on.
“It’s time to end this stalemate and stop the suffering for
the thousands of innocent
Californians,” Senate President
Pro Tem Don Perata, DOakland, said in a statement
Thursday.
When lawmakers returned to
negotiate
with
Schwarzenegger, he told them
he would not support a compromise unless it contained a
stronger rainy day fund that
could only be tapped in years
when revenue falls below projected spending.
Lawmakers complained it
was unfair of the governor to
criticize their plan to collect
taxes early, saying his administration proposed it. McLear
acknowledged Thursday that
the idea “could have come from
the finance department,” but
had not been approved by the
governor.
While the deal struck
Thursday removes some
accounting gimmicks, it leaves
others intact.
It would require those who
pay estimated taxes, including
corporations and wealthier
Californians, to pay a greater
percentage of their annual taxes
in the first two quarters of the
year, a move that would generate $2.3 billion for this fiscal
year. But the state would lower
their tax payments in the last
two quarters, artificially inflating state revenues.
New millionaires would
have to pony up their taxes earlier and the state would borrow
nearly $1 billion from special
funds intended for other uses,
such as transportation projects
and reducing smog.
Lawmakers agreed to undo a
proposal, passed on a majority
vote without Republican support, that would have raised
income tax payments for working Californians by 10 percent
beginning Jan. 1. Under that
plan, taxes would be collected
earlier, but the total tax paid
would not change.
Also removed was a tax
amnesty program that would
have allowed businesses and
people who owe the state
money to pay overdue taxes
without penalty. Analysts worried the program, which also
was implemented a few years
ago, would not have generated
the amount the state projected.
Instead, the lawmakers are
seeking to raise the fines on
corporations that underreport
the taxes they owe, to 20 percent from the current 10 percent. They said that would generate an estimated $1.5 billion
in the next fiscal year.

Mendocino College to better
serve basic skills students
The Daily Journal
Mendocino College has
developed a Foundation Skills
Teaching
and
Learning
Community to better serve
students with basic skills and
second language courses.
Recognizing a change in
demographics and a trend that
a majority of students in the
California
Community
Colleges and other community colleges across the nation
tend to test into pre-transfer
level English and math courses, Mendocino College decided to focus on some key areas.
According to Mendocino
College Dean of Instruction
Virginia Guleff, 67 percent of
students state-wide test into
pre-transfer level classes and
the state recognizes this reality.
“Our community college
mission is to serve the community. We understand that
there is a growing need among
students who are developing
their basic skills and that there
is a growing linguistic diversity in the community. We are
committed to meeting those
needs,”
Guleff
said.
Mendocino College went
through a process to determine that it needed to concentrate more on staff development, hire a full-time English
as a second language instructor and strengthen its tutorial
services as ways to better
serve students’ needs.
At the State level, through
the collaboration of the
Academic Senate and community college leadership, a
Basic Skills Initiative was created to bring about the ability
to address basic skills and
ESL needs.
The Mendocino College
Board of Trustees has passed a
resolution in support of this
Basic Skills Initiative.
The Center for Student
Success and the Research and
Planning Group for the
California
Community
Colleges conducted a thorough review of literature and
effective practices, resulting
in a report called Basic Skills
as a Foundation for Student
Success in the California
Community Colleges.
According to their report,
basic skills are those foundation skills in reading, writing,
mathematics, learning skills,
study skills, and ESL which
are necessary for students to
succeed in college-level work.

African cuisine and pumpkin pie
You are reading this article
on the last Friday of Summer.
Start watching for the shift
from summer to fall season
produce at the farmers’ market. It’s a great time to come
to the market. Much of summer’s bounty is still available. Yet, the first fall squashes are also starting to appear,
just in case you need a nice
rich soup base for a chilly
night.
As we shift into fall,
pumpkins cannot be far off.
Indeed, the giant pumpkins
destined for display at
PumpkinFest (Oct. 18 and
19) are already bulking up.
One giant orange beauty is
being pampered at the
Mendocino County Jail
Women’s Garden, a program
coordinated by Friends of
MCFARM table staffer Terri
McCartney. When Terri told
me about the pumpkin last
week it got us thinking that
the farmers’ market needs its
own pumpkin event. How
about a pumpkin pie contest
on Oct. 11 as a warm up for
PumpkinFest? Details TBD.
Let me know if you would
like to be a competitor.
This year you will be able
to track the local seasons
with us at the farmers’ market
all year round. If you are
curious about what grows in
this area in winter and when
to plant it, keep an eye on
developments at Mendocino

be able to come to the market
to see their produce from
December through April.
Although the farmers’ market is very much about supporting small-scale, seasonal
and local production, it is not
at all provincial. For example, the Ukiah Natural Foods
Co-op sponsored cooking
demonstrations this season
have including several great
international cuisines.
Tomorrow we expand our
range yet again with a
demonstration by Heidi
Cusick Dickerson, author of
Soul and Spice: African
Cooking in the Americas.
Jessica Harris, author of
many books on the African
influences on cooking, writes
in her foreword Heidi’s “love
for the food of the African
Diaspora is one that transcends color and heritage and
goes straight to the obvious
fact that the food quite sim-
ply tastes fabulous.”
Heidi will provide a small
sampling of the rich breadth
of culinary influences
Africans brought to this
hemisphere. She will prepare
Caribbean meatballs, spicy
jerk-seasoned tidbits cooled
by coconut milk, and jamma
jamma, a pepper flecked
quick sauté of greens.
A quote from
“Encyclopedia of Southern
Culture: Volume 1” included
in Heidi’s book illustrates the
importance of being open to
learning from the best practices of other cultures.
The techniques of growing
vegetables, as well as the
plants themselves, were
another aspect of the AfroAmerican tradition. A 19thCentury planter on the Sea
Islands off the coast of
Georgia describes a slave’s
garden as “a small patch
where arrowroot, collards,
sugarcane, ground nuts,
benne, gourds and watermelons grew in commingled luxuriance. The commingled
look … was a form inherited
from West Africa …. The
mixture of plant types together, rather than separated in
orderly rows, seems to create
an effective ‘garden climate”… By layering plants,
through planting two or three
plants growing to different
heights next to each other, the
insect population apparently
can be reduced, weeds
decreased through shading
them out, and soil nutrients
and ground water conserved.
We are just now relearning some of those lessons in
our own farming and gardening practices.
Among the most critical is
water conservation in agriculture. Thus, the farmers’ market is also pleased to present
a teaser for the upcoming
Watershed Mendocino Poetry
Festival (Saturday, Sept. 27).
At about 10:30 a.m. tomorrow come see the Watershed
ballet by TurnerDance, and
performance art by Carolyn
Drewes and friends performing “The Rain's Eye View:
An audio-visual tour of the
Upper Russian River
Watershed.” Stop by their
table for information about
water/watershed awareness
and the final printed program
for the Sept. 27 event.
Contact Nadia at 462-5756 or
Larry at 485-7072 for more

Other events at tomorrow’s
market are:

Letters from our readers
Kramer wrong on homeless
To the Editor:
Up until now I have been proud to say I
am a lifelong resident of Mendocino
County. That is until I read Tommy Wayne
Kramer’s article on the homeless.
Mendocino County used to be a place
where you could trust your neighbor,
where people had compassion. I am profoundly ashamed that such an article made
it into the pages of our local paper, which
is a representative of our community. Is
this what we have become? Making cruel
jokes about homeless persons? There
seems to be a huge gap between the haves
and have nots. We are all human here. We
need to treat each other with dignity and
respect regardless of social stature. K.C.
Meadows has once again made a huge
error in judgment allowing this type of
demeaning mistreatment of our fellow
man to be printed for all to see. Is this
how we want to be perceived in the eyes
of the rest of the world? What is happening to our wonderful community? Have
we lost our ability to be compassionate
and understanding of those less fortunate
than ourselves? I for one have not. You
see, not all homeless people choose to be
homeless, not all people who are less fortunate choose to be less fortunate. Life is
sometimes brutal and unforgiving, fate
sometimes deals us a bad hand. Once a
long time ago I was homeless for about 5
months. I was 19 and my mother died. My
father was so grief stricken that he closed
our family home and went to stay with
relatives. I was left alone and had to
camp out with strangers who were homeless because their house burned down.
These people who were homeless took me
in and helped me through a very rough
time. They also were subjected to the
kind of judgment that Tommy Wayne
Kramer offered in his article, all because
they were poor and had no place to live.
At some point my father realized I needed
him and helped me. It makes me ill that
the Journal has allowed into print an article that, whether it is satirical or not,
makes a joke out of a fragile human circumstance. Maybe you should be put into
their shoes for enough time to understand
what it feels like to know hunger and
uncertainty, to be afraid everyday and
have no security. Everyone who has more
than they need should be giving something back to humanity, to our community.
It is our responsibility to take care of our
fellow man. Help those who cannot help
themselves. Shame on you. Shame on
Tommy Wayne Kramer. You should be
printing a huge apology. You have made a
mockery of our community. Your newspaper is a direct reflection of what our community is about, therefore you have a
responsibility to accurately represent such.
There are many reasons that people
become homeless, most of those reasons
are not by choice. My husband and I have
been living pretty much paycheck to pay
check all of our lives, not because we
choose to, but because that is how life is.
We don’t always have what we want, but
we have what we need most of the time.
We can’t all be affluent financially, but,
we can be rich in love and human understanding. Maybe you should try it.

To the Editor:
Someone needs to inform Mr. Burgess
that he is a “reporter” not a commentator
and if you and Mr. McConnell want a
commentator, you need someone who isn’t
so wet behind the ears. I am 65 years old,
served my country for 20 years and been
around the block several times and I don’t
need Mr. Burgess to give me his opinion
on anything let alone how “he feels” about
the Republican candidate for VP. I find his
comments any of the political candidates
to be insulting. He hasn’t the experience,
knowledge or understanding to give his
opinion on anything concerning politics.
Let him “report” on auto shows not “comment” on anything! As a reporter he is
haphazard and inaccurate. I hope the DJ
isn’t paying him much.
Your paper devoted four columns to
this article. Certainly there are better stories than this.

GEORGE WILL
McCain needs to get
back in front of Palin
Saving a precious resource
Another voice BY MICHAEL R. MOORE
Having been raised here,
Montgomery Woods has a
special place in my life and
many memories both as a
child and as an adult. Back
in the 1950s the City Day
Camp program included a
camping trip to Montgomery
Woods and therefore my
introduction. It has been
developed into a State
Preserve now, so that many
more people can enjoy the
giant trees and serene atmosphere that prevails there.
(Camping is now prohibited). That was until June 21
of this year, when it became
ground zero for a lightning
storm that also struck the
rest of Northern California
with catastrophic results, or
so it seems at first glance.
When the park was
opened last month I was
aware that some of it had
burned, but from some
reports from firefighters
there, it was deemed a “good
burn.” The tops of the trees
had been spared, they said,
so I went to see for myself. I
was not prepared for the
level of damage nor the
smell. When I first went up
the path I thought, “what am
I going to find in the grove
itself?” Well much to my
relief, much of the floor of
the initial grove was not
damaged, only around the
edge, and there was already
evidence of the beginnings
of recovery. I didn’t see any
evidence of any active fire
occurring. After spending
about an hour I walked out.
At the parking lot I met
some out of state firefighters, who were there to investigate a “smoke” sighted by
a spotter helicopter flying
above. As they loaded up
their gear and prepared to go
find this spot they asked and
I gave them some input.
From the pilot’s description
of the location, I gave them
directions through the park
to where it sounded like it
might be. They thanked me
and headed out, each carrying 40 pounds of water on
their backs and hand tools. I
was somewhat concerned
for them for two reasons;
one, it was to be very hot
that day (106 on my car indicator), and the second, I lost
my
brother-in-law/good
friend on such a cleanup
operation July 2, 2002.
A week later, I returned
and found their truck parked
in the same spot. I walked in
and as I reached the grove I
was met by one of the crew
from the last week. Since I
was a local and knowledgeable about the local woods
they wanted my opinion
about a hazard tree, which
was now openly smoldering
and burning. It was the tree
hit by lightning and had been
quiet for a while. They were
from Montana and not
familiar with these giant
trees. The tree was smoking
from the top where it had
been sheered and the immediate area looked like a war
zone, but no evidence of
active burning on the
ground, just the tree itself.
They were assigned the task
of watching it and making
sure it burned slowly and
didn’t spread. This they did
professionally and with little
complaint. The tree is now
down and out.
Montgomery
Woods
Preserve is in good hands,
and it will be interesting to
see how quickly it recovers
to its previous pristine beauty thanks in part to the dedication of these guys.
Thus began a friendship
with these guys, most of
whom have been here in
Mendocino County since the
first week. Their full crew
consists of two engines and
up to 7 crewmembers. You
can recognize them, as their
trucks are white with a distinctive logo, Buffalo Bird
Waterworks. They are based
out of a Native American
Reservation about 30 miles
north of Missoula, Montana,
a long way from Ukiah
California. They are all
Native American from various tribes from that region
and this is their summer job.
They are private contractors,
first
from
Homeland
Security, and now Cal Fire,
and presently they patrol the
fire locations on the west
side of the County. They can
usually be found eating
breakfast at the truck stop
most mornings before briefing time so give them a hey,
as we still do have firefighters, from out of the area,
watching over our forests.
On behalf of myself and
the rest of a grateful community, a hearty thanks to
Gregg, Vincent, Moses,
Albert, and the rest of the
crews of Buffalo Bird One
and Two. May God bless and
keep you safe for your time
and efforts on this and the
surrounding communities’
behalf. Although I have not
had the privilege of meeting
you, thanks to all of the
other firefighters who have
responded so magnificently
to our county’s time of need.
In addition to showing
your direct appreciation to
these guys, there is also
another more tangible way
to do something for all of the
wild land firefighters and
help when tragedy strikes.
There is a nonprofit organization that helps the families
of fallen firefighters, like
those who were injured on
the ground and/or died in the
helicopter crash last month
up on the trinity fire; or the
bomber crew who crashed
outside of Reno today, and
that is to donate to the Wild
land
Firefighters
Foundation, located in
Boise, Idaho. The Website is
WFFoundation.org. This
organization was the first to
assist my sister-in-law after
her husband died on a fire in
Colorado back in 2002.
Thanks for taking the
time to read this and any
action you take.
Michael R. Moore is a
Ukiah resident.

Man is in love and loves what vanishes.
What more is there to say?
-- William Butler Yeats
Conservatives, who reputedly have lumps of coal
where their hearts should be, have fallen in love. So
have many people who are not doctrinal conservatives.
The world is a sweeter place because Sarah Palin has
increased the quantity of love, but this is not a reliable
foundation for John McCain’s campaign.
The tech bubble was followed by the housing bubble, which has been topped by the Palin bubble.
Bubbles will always be with us, because irrational exuberance always will be. Its symptom is the assumption
that old limits have yielded to undreamt-of possibilities: The Dow will always rise, as will housing prices,
and rapture about a running mate can be decisive in a
presidential election.
Palin is as bracing as an Arctic breeze and delightfully elicits the condescension of liberals whose enthusiasm for everyday middle-class Americans cannot
survive an encounter with one. But the country’s
romance with her will, as romances do, cool somewhat, and even before November some new fad might
distract a nation that loves “American Idol” for the
metronomic regularity with which it discovers genius
in persons hitherto unsuspected of it.
McCain should, therefore, enunciate a closing argument for his candidacy that goes to fundamentals of
governance, concerning which the vice presidency is
usually peripheral. His argument should assert the
virtues of something that voters, judging by their
behavior over time, prefer -- divided government.
The incumbent Republican president’s job approval
is in the low 30s but is about 10 points higher than that
of the Democratic-controlled Congress. The 22nd
Amendment will banish the president in January, but
Congress will then be even more Democratic than it is
now. Does the country really want there to be no check
on it? Consider two things that will quickly become
law unless McCain is there to veto them or unless -this is a thin reed on which to depend -- Senate
Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has 40 reliable senators to filibuster them to deserved deaths.
The exquisitely misnamed Employee Free Choice
Act would strip from workers their right to secret ballots in unionization elections. Instead, unions could
use the “card check” system: Once a majority of a
company’s employees -- each person confronted oneon-one by a union organizer in an inherently coercive
setting -- sign cards expressing consent, the union
would be certified as the bargaining agent for all workers. Proving that the law’s purpose is less to improve
workers’ conditions than to capture dues-payers for the
unions, the law will forbid employers from discouraging unionization by giving “unilateral” -- not negotiated -- improvements in compensation and working conditions.
Unless McCain is president, the government will
reinstate the equally misnamed “fairness doctrine.”
Until Ronald Reagan eliminated it in 1987, that regulation discouraged freewheeling political programming by the threat of litigation over inherently vague
standards of “fairness” in presenting “balanced” political views. In 1980 there were fewer than 100 radio
talk shows nationwide. Today there are more than
1,400 stations entirely devoted to talk formats.
Liberals, not satisfied with their domination of academia, Hollywood and most of the mainstream media,
want to kill talk radio, where liberals have been unable
to dent conservatives’ dominance.
Today, as usual, but perhaps even more so,
Americans are in the iron grip of cognitive dissonance.
It is a genteel mental disorder afflicting those people - essentially everybody -- who have contradictory convictions and yearnings. Consider health care.
Americans want 2008 medicine at 1958 prices, and
universal coverage with undiminished choice -- without mandatory purchases or government interference
with choices, including doctor-patient relationships.
As usual, neither party completely pleases a majority
of voters. That is why 19 of the 31 elections since
World War II produced or preserved divided government -- the presidency and at least one chamber of
Congress controlled by different parties.
Divided government compels compromises that
curb each party’s excesses, especially both parties’
proclivities for excessive spending when unconstrained by an institution controlled by the other party.
William Niskanen, chairman of the libertarian Cato
Institute, notes that in the last 50 years, “government
spending has increased an average of only 1.73 percent
annually during periods of divided government. This
number more than triples, to 5.26 percent, for periods
of unified government.”
By picking Palin, McCain got the country’s attention. That is a perishable thing and before it dissipates,
he should show the country his veto pen.
George F. Will writes for more than 450
newspapers and Newsweek and appears as
a political commentator on ABC.

Community Care’s
Supported Living Program
celebrates 15th anniversary
Sept. 28 marks the 15-year
anniversary of Community
Care’s Supported Living
Program.
Ukiah Natural Foods is
marking the occasion by
donating its September coffee
bar tips to the program. SLP
partners with the Redwood
Coast Regional Center in
helping individuals with
developmental disabilities to
live independently in the
community in their own
homes and apartments. SLP’s
success has given rise to the
three newer programs:
Community Integration
Program, for young adults
who are transitioning from
school to the community;
Horizons , for those with
drug, alcohol, gambling, and
other dependencies; and
Inclusive Senior Services, a
day activity service which
integrates clients into Ukiah
Senior Center activities at
Bartlett Hall.
The four programs now
operate under Community
Care’s “Independence Plus”
banner and serve clients with
developmental disabilities
from Hopland to Willits and
Navarro. Community Care is
a private, non-profit agency
that has supported the independence of individuals with
frailty or disabilities for 24
years.
Donations are gladly
accepted in helping to continue this work. Visit

Yankee Stadium deal criticized by lawmakers
By DEVLIN BARRETT
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) — A
congressional panel has taken
tough swings at the New York
Yankees and New York City
government over a new stadium for the Yankees. But neither the team nor the city
budged from their positions
on the $1.3 billion structure.
Rep. Dennis Kucinich said
Thursday he found “waste and
abuse of public dollars” in the
financing of the new stadium
under construction in the
South Bronx.
Kucinich is an Ohio
Democrat who heads the
House
Oversight
and
Government
Reform
Committee. He charged that
city officials misrepresented
to the IRS the value of the
property, helping them to get
special tax deals from the federal government and in effect
dumping the cost of construction onto taxpayers. No one
from the either the city or the
Yankees spoke at the hearing.
As Kucinich spoke, New
York’s
mayor,
Michael
Bloomberg, was in a nearby
building testifying before a
different House committee on
global warming.
Earlier
this
week,
Bloomberg defended the deal,
calling it “a great project.”
“We want these kinds of
facilities here. Having new
stadiums is as important as
other things in terms of, not
just the spirit for the people
who live here, but our economy,” Bloomberg said.
That’s not how several
Democrats on the panel saw
it.
“In the case of the new
Yankee Stadium, not only
have we found waste and
abuse of public dollars subsidizing a project that is for the
exclusive benefit of a private
entity, the Yankees, but also
we have discovered serious
questions about the accuracy
of certain representations
made by the City of New York
to the federal government,”
Kucinich said.
The panel’s investigation
found “substantial evidence of
improprieties and possible
fraud by the financial architects of the new Yankee
Stadium,” he added.
The criticism highlights
tensions felt nationwide as
governments
increasingly
support stadiums for profitable pro sports teams with
multimillion dollar payrolls.
Rep. Diane Watson, DCalif., said her hometown of
Los Angeles has gone without
a professional football team
for decades because city officials are unwilling to pay for a
new stadium.
Given the current financial
crisis gripping the U.S. economy, she said it made no sense
for taxpayers to pay for construction of buildings for the
benefit of sports owner
tycoons.
“In this country we have
allowed the upper class to
destroy the middle class,”
Watson charged.
The lawmakers also complained that city and team
officials had not provided
information they have sought
about the financing of Yankee
Stadium.
The panel did hear from
New York State Assemblyman
Richard Brodsky, an outspoken critic of the deal, who
charges that between $550
million to $850 million in taxpayer money has been committed to the project.
Brodksy’s charges, based
on city, IRS, and Yankee documents, include:
—The city manipulated the
assessed value of the stadium
to meet requirements for an
IRS tax exemption.
—City officials didn’t disclose their purchase of a luxury box and extra game tickets.
—The $366 million in
additional funding sought by
the Yankees would be for a
large video screen, not structural costs.
STOCKTON -- Horse racing at the San Joaquin County
Fairgrounds struggled this
year, the first time in 75 years
the racing had been held on
separate dates from the fair.
Attendance over the nineday program, which ended
Sunday, was down by 60 percent, and the total money bet - known as the handle -- was
down by 40 percent. Racing
organizers have begun looking for ways to improve in
2009.
"There's no doubt the numbers weren't very good," said
Forrest White, the fair's executive director. The weather
and the racing being held on
different dates from the fair
were among the reasons he
cited for the decreases.
The dates for next year's
program probably won't
change, according to White.
He believes the nine-day racing schedule will go off again
next September, while the fair
itself will remain in June.
White also said he is looking at a tentative plan to
change to a weekends-only
program, where races would
run Friday through Sunday on
three consecutive weekends,
instead of nine shows over
two weeks.
Mike
Martin,
the
California Horse Racing
Board's public information
officer, wouldn't comment on
next season's schedule, but he
said his organization will discuss race dates today at its
monthly meeting. He doesn't
expect any firm decisions will
be made today.
Brent Harmon, a jockey
agent from Manteca who
arranges for his clients to get
rides at tracks throughout
Northern California, said he
isn't convinced the weekendsonly schedule will work.
"I don't think it will help at
all. I think you are going to
have to bring the fair back,"
Harmon said. "It's obvious.
You just don't have the same
charisma or walk-up without
the fair.
"The weekends-only plan
is just another experiment,
and I don't think these horse
people like change," Harmon
said. "Some just won't come."
This year, attendance was
about 15,000 for nine dates,
compared with about 40,000
during last year's 10-day
schedule.
The handle at the track
dropped from $2.3 million to
$1.3 million, and the national
handle, which includes satellite betting throughout the
country on the Stockton races,
went from $23.62 million to
$16.17 million, a decline of
31 percent.
"I, like everyone else, was
very disappointed in the handle, and I think the best thing
is to run the horses with the
fair," said Bill Robinson, who
owns a horse ranch in
Lathrop. "Running weekendsonly will help, but it won't
make up the difference."
White has stated the
California Horse Racing
Board moved the races to
September in Stockton so an
event would bridge the
California State Fair and racing at Golden Gate Fields,
which began this week.
He hopes some of the
things learned this year will
improve the situation next
year.

Nebraska defines ‘Will you still need me when I’m 64?’
rural philanthropy About
I thought I knew what rural
was, and then I went to
Nebraska for a conference on
rural philanthropy. Meeting
people from small towns in
Nebraska, Wisconsin, South
Dakota and other states made
me understand a definition of
rural that is epitomized in
counties that “have more cattle than people.”
This was my first trip to
Nebraska and it was memorable. It started with the food:
chicken gizzards, homemade
sweet potato biscuits, pickled
cucumbers and, of course, ribs
and steaks. It is a great place
to forget about your diet.
But even more impressive
was the spirit of the people
from small towns who have
such a love of “home” that
they are creating community
foundations to preserve the
quality of life that will keep
their populations from shrinking. In towns with populations
of 500 people or less, local
leaders are encouraging residents to preserve their hometowns by leaving the community foundation 5 percent of
their estates. Other communities are encouraging residents
to consider the community
foundation as “one of their
children” when planning their
estates. Their motto is, “looking forward, giving back.”
The small town Nebraska
community foundations are
focused on preserving their
hometowns through investment in four areas: mobilizing
local leaders, energizing
entrepreneurs, attracting and
engaging young people, and
retaining local wealth as
estates pass on from the older
generation. The focus on
keeping young people in the
community is important to
many. I heard, “Although
youth make up 25 percent of
our population, they represent
100 percent of our future,”
and, “we need to quit giving
our kids luggage for graduation.”
It is encouraging to see that
this approach seems to be
working. For example, in
Valley County, Nebraska
(population 4,647) the population is growing for the first
time in 70 years. Since 2003,
73 new businesses have started, 10 have expanded, and 21
have transitioned to new owners. This has created 332 new
jobs and resulted in $90 million in new investment.
Finally, the goal of capturing
Alzheimer’s
Disease
Giving Back
By Susanne Norgard
5 percent of the estimated 10year transfer of wealth has
been exceeded.
How does this translate to
Mendocino
County?
Community Foundation board
member Ana Mahoney, who
was one of the Community
Foundation board members
who attended the conference,
gleaned many ideas from our
rural counterparts.
She noted, “We share similar experiences to other rural
communities throughout the
country. We are losing our
youth. It truly is a compelling
reason for us to develop a
framework for effective and
sustainable community and
economic
development.
That’s why I joined the board
of
the
Community
Foundation.”
The endowment funds that
are growing in rural communities are creating “community capital” that can be used to
address the economic and
quality of life issues that are
important for keeping these
communities
alive
and
vibrant. But they do more than
that. They turn the attention of
residents away from thinking
about what they might lose in
terms of population or
lifestyle, and turn the focus to
the future and what they
might build in terms of local
leadership
development,
opportunities for youth, entrepreneurship, and philanthropy.
The
Community
Foundation of Mendocino
County is our vehicle for
building “community capital”
that can be used now and in
the future. If you want to find

COMMUNITY BRIEFS
Perhaps many of you recognize the
words from the Beatles’ song in the title
to this article. The rest of that line is,
“will you still feed me when I’m 64?”
When this song was penned I doubt the
writer had Alzheimer’s disease in mind.
Yes, this horrible disease usually ends
in the person’s loss of their ability to
walk, talk, eat, drink, and, sadly loss of
ability to recognize their loved ones.
Between the ages of 65-79, about 5 percent of all Americans experience
Alzheimer’s disease, about 5 million is
the current estimate of the number of
people afflicted. It is estimated by age 85
about 50 percent of all adults are afflicted
by dementia to some degree. Some
90,000 are afflicted in the Bay Area and
some 500,000 in California. (Facts
derived
from
the
Alzheimer’s
Association)
This progressive neurological disease
(it kills the nerve cells in the brain -- for
an amazing understanding go to alz.org,
click on Brain Tour) affects the person’s
body, mind, and emotions. There are also
rare, genetically inherited forms of AD
(Alzheimer’s Disease) known as “earlyonset Alzheimer’s” that can strike in
unsuspecting individuals in their 30s and
40s. Dementia of which Alzheimer’s is
the most common form is a general term
used to describe a chronic, devastating
illness that primarily affects older individuals. This disease is progressive and is
indicated by a decline in memory, judgment, intellectual function, visual-spatial
skills, and adaptive ability, to the degree
that symptoms interfere with a person’s
ordinary activities and relationships.
Dementia is usually incurable, although
the rate of progression varies in each person.
(Taken
from Alzheimer’s,
Prevention of the Disease and Other
Dementias, by Mary O’Brien, MD).
Dr. O’Brien does a good job of defining this disease. Yet, Leslie Bishop
Franco, an advocate for AD prevention
and funding, puts a face to this disease by
explaining how it affected her personally.
“My mother, Darlene Linton Bishop was
diagnosed with early-onset AD in 2000 at
the age of 56. She died six years later, at
the age of 62. She was struck in the prime
of life. She was working full-time as a
medical social worker, she was a deacon
in her church, she was an avid tennis
player and golfer, and she loved to travel.
Most upsetting to me, she had just
become a grandmother to me…for the
Gray Matters
By Tom Buske, MSW
first time to my twins. When she died in
2006, she left two devastated daughters
in
their
30’s
and
five
grandsons…Alzheimer’s robbed my
mother – all of our boys – of the grandmother experience.”
Ms. Franco’s poignant expression of
her mother’s demise due to AD begs
reading between the lines. This daughter
may well have experienced feelings of
anger over the disease striking her mother in the prime of her life, loss of her
mom, and loss of her being grandma to
her twins would have left her devastated.
Her grief must have been deep as she
indicates she was very close to her mother and loved her dearly. Her mother’s
death left her adrift without the help or
wisdom of her mother as she faced her
new role as mother to twins for the first
time. Can’t you feel her emotions as she
relates, “Alzheimer’s robbed my mother…” ?
She doesn’t mention in this article if
she became her mother’s caregiver as her
illness progressed. The reading I’ve done
indicates those who do care for their
loved ones take on the most stressful
work there is. This is due to having full
time responsibility 24/7 for their loved
one’s well being. Caregivers who’ve
brought their spouses or parents to our
program for relief from this constant
stress give insight into what it is like for
them. Their common voice is of dedication to spouses or parents whom they
have loved for so many years. Yet, sadness and grief over seeing their loved one
gradually lose their sense of self as well
as knowing who their spouse or adult
child is all part of this disease process.
Agitated, confused, regressed, and lost in
time and place would be the thread that
runs through many of the stories of the
lives of their afflicted loved one as the
disease progresses. Despite this the final
thread is one of courage, dignity and love

in those impacted by AD.
For these precious caregivers the Adult
Day Health Care program at the Ukiah
Senior Center provides a respite, a relief
from the stress and strain of this labor of
love. For five hours they can place their
spouse or parents in the hands of caring,
competent staff to keep their loved one
safe as well as be relieved of their duties
and have some rest and time to themselves to refresh. This is so very necessary to avoid caregiver burn-out.
For caregivers just beginning this
unfamiliar journey of caring for a loved
one with AD, the March, 2008 Journal of
American Geriatric Sociology comes this
tip; “sharing the diagnosis with the
patient not only didn’t add to depression
or emotional burden, it offered a measure
of relief.” Caregivers can find assurance
from their fears of disclosing the AD
diagnosis in this statement. As frightening as it is, shinning light on the truth can
lead to a freedom to cope and plan and
deal honestly with what is. This can help
everyone to come to terms with AD and
even find acceptance of AD.
Finally, this journey has been trod by
other caregivers and resources are only a
touch or call away. Locally, the Redwood
Caregiver Resource Center is a most
valuable resource at 542-0282. In addition a new Ukiah volunteer program is up
and running -Alzheimer’s Resource and
Education Center can help navigate the
many unknowns of AD. They will help
caregivers by providing information
about agencies, medical professionals,
and residential facilities for people with
Alzheimer’s. They also have a lending
library which is focused on Alzheimer’s.
For information call Candace Horsley,
Director,
391-6188
or
arecmendo@yahoo.com. On a national
level the Alzheimer’s Association is a
leader in resource and research in AD. On
a regional level the Alzheimer’s

and Northern Nevada Greater San
Francisco Bay Area can be contacted at

SoCal home prices E-waste crackdown needed, GAO says
continue to fall
By JACK KATZANEK
The Press-Enterprise, Riverside
Southern California home prices continued their free-fall in
August and are now as low as they were five years ago, a realestate research form reported today.
Sales have accelerated sharply from a year ago in Riverside
County and were also up in San Bernardino County, according
to DataQuick Information Systems. But the activity is largely
centered on foreclosures and other sales of distressed properties, which is keeping other sellers away from the market.
DataQuick President John Walsh said in a statement home
values have fallen sharply in the Inland housing markets, where
sales interest in foreclosed homes is highest.
The median price of a resale home in Riverside County was
$247,500 in August, down from $260,000 a month earlier and
37.3 percent lower than August 2007, DataQuick reported.
In San Bernardino County, the median sales prices slipped to
$215,000, down from $230,000 in July. The price has dropped
40.3 percent in the last 12 months.
The all-time highs were $432,000 in Riverside County and
$380,000 in San Bernardino, both recorded in late 2006.
Sequoia Park fire
partially contained
By ANITA STACKHOUSE-HITE
The Porterville Recorder
The Hidden Fire in the Sequoia National Park 12 miles north
of Three Rivers, ignited by a lightning strike, is being contained.
The fire started at about 6:24 p.m. Sept. 10.
Firefighters from multiple agencies, according to a fire
update from the Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks, went
into action from the ground and the air with the support of
fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft to contain the fire.
However, as of Wednesday, the fire had consumed more than
466 acres. Fire managers had anticipated the growth because of
hot, dry conditions.
The fire is burning in steep, rugged terrain and heavy fuels
at about 6,000 to 6,500 feet in elevation.
Located near Hidden Springs in the north fork of the Kaweah
River drainage and north of Ash Mountain, the fire has a high
potential for more growth, fore officials said. Approximately
115 firefighters are battling this fire, including the fire management team.
Five helicopters and five air tankers are also assigned to the
fire to support ground operations. Spotting and roll-outs are
creating control issues on the north and east flank.
The incident command post supporting the fire is located at
Horse Creek campground near Lake Kaweah.
As a result of the fire, Crystal Cave Road is closed at
Generals Highway, as is the trail to the Muir Grove.
The Colony Mill Road has an advisory posted at the North
Fork Drive trail head advising that the road will be closed
because of fie danger.
The fire is about 30 percent contained.

Study: U.S. has done little to
stop toxic materials from
endangering foriegn workers
By FRANK DAVIES
San Jose Mercury News
WASHINGTON -- U.S. regulators
have done little to stop the export of used
computers and other electronic products
with toxic materials that endanger foreign
workers,
a
Government
Accountability Office report concluded
Wednesday.
The growing flood of electronic waste
is fueled by the short lifespan of many
products, and by manufacturers who rush
to get the latest gizmo or upgrade on the
market.
U.S. consumers disposed of 300 million electronic devices in 2006, and "a
substantial amount ends up in countries
where disposal practices can harm workers and the environment," the 65-page
report found.
The GAO faulted the Environmental
Protection Agency for a lack of enforcement that allows recycling companies,
some of them touting their "green" credentials, to dump computer and TV cathode ray tubes (CRTs), which contain several pounds of lead, and other "e-waste"
overseas.
GAO investigators posing as foreign
buyers of broken CRTs in India, Pakistan
and Hong Kong found 43 U.S. companies willing to export such CRTs. "Some
were willing to export CRTs in apparent
violation of the EPA rule" that went into
effect in 2007, the report said.
A new crop of recycling companies
"includes some high-end players but also
bottom feeders," said Ted Smith, founder
of the Silicon Valley Toxics Coalition.
These companies claim to responsibly
recycle, but instead ship discarded electronics laden with toxic materials to Asia
and Africa, where workers separate
out copper, gold and other valuable
elements.
The coalition was launched in the
1980s, when toxic chemicals from computer chip factories leaked into Silicon
Valley groundwater. In recent years the
coalition has focused on the disposal of
electronic products as a growing problem.
The EPA estimates that 2.6 million
tons of used or unwanted electronics was
discarded in the United States in 2005.
John Stephenson of the GAO told a
House Foreign Affairs subcommittee
Wednesday that U.S. export controls on
used electronics are "among the weakest
in the world." The only e-waste the EPA
can regulate is CRTs, and "that enforcement is minimal," he said.
In response, the EPA said the GAO
report "did not provide a complete or balanced picture of the agency's electronic
waste program."
Jim Puckett, an activist with the
Electronics TakeBack Coalition, which
promotes responsible recycling, said he
recently saw workers in Guiyu, China,
burning wiring and using acid baths to
extract usable ingredients. "It was a
cyber-age horror show," he said during a
conference call with reporters.
During that call, Reps. Mike
Thompson, a Democrat from St. Helena,
and Gene Green, a Houston Democrat,
said they hoped the GAO report will spur
Congress to enact stronger regulations on
electronic waste.
KEY CONTAMINANTS
Lead: Cathode ray tubes contain up to
four pounds of lead, and circuit boards
also contain some of this metal. Lead is
toxic and can delay neurological development in children and cause other
adverse health effects in adults. Lead can
leach out of CRT glass and circuit boards
disposed of in landfills, or it can be
released into the environment by incineration.
Brominated flame retardants: Found in
plastic casings of personal computers,
CRT monitors and circuit boards, brominated flame retardants can persist in the
environment and accumulate in living
organisms, where they may cause liver
and thyroid toxicity. They can be released
into the environment when computer
parts are shredded or heated.
And: CRT monitors may also contain
antimony, barium oxide and phosphors,
which can cause human health and environmental problems.
Cadmium: Small amounts of this highly toxic metal are in electronic contacts
and switches. Cadmium persists in the
environment and accumulates in living
organisms. It may be released into the
environment by heat and incineration.
And: Computer central processing
units may also contain beryllium and
lithium, which can cause human health
and environmental problems.

School drug-sniffing dog plan snuffed
School board
opts for study
BY SALLY CONNELL
THE TRIBUNE, SAN LUIS
OBISPO
Rather
than
institute
searches by drug-sniffing
dogs or random drug testing
of athletes and others, San
Luis Coastal school board
members decided to set a special study session on drug use
in the community and local
schools.
It was clear at a Tuesday
night meeting that the issue of
random drug testing and
searches made a majority of
the board queasy. "There is a
drug test we already give
called assessment," board
member Walt Millar said,
pointing out that the board
finds in its expulsion hearings
that drug use is often tied to
declining grades and test
scores.
The board on Tuesday was
to consider a plan to use drugsniffing dogs for searches, but
staff told the board that the
state Attorney General's
Office in 2000 issued an opinion that school administrators
"may not" implement such a
policy.
The second proposal -- random drug testing of students
in extracurricular activities --
has historically better withstood legal challenges.
Board members Kathryn
Eisendrath-Rogers and Mark
Buchman clearly wanted testing to at least be considered as
an option for dealing with the
drug problem.
They both mentioned the
countywide Healthy Kids
Survey. Eighteen percent of
the district freshmen surveyed
reported using marijuana at
least once, while 42 percent of
the juniors said they had used
it.
But
after
discussion,
Buchman said that he liked
the idea of dialogue before
any
decision,
while
Eisendrath- Rogers said she
would like to see a decision at
the end of any forum.
Board member Marilyn
Rodger said she doubted she
would support random testing.
She said it would turn off
students who come to school
specifically for sports and
may not be interested in academics and other aspects of
school.
Staff said that the forum the
board wants could be put into
place by November. Board
members suggested that
teachers, parents, students,
doctors and others address
what they emphasized is a
community problem.
By JASON GREEN
Palo Alto Daily News
A dozen local lawmakers led by Palo Alto U.S. Rep. Anna
Eshoo called on the Navy on Wednesday to restore Hangar One
for reuse once it's been scrubbed of toxins.
In a strongly-worded letter addressed to Secretary of the
Navy Donald Winter, Eshoo and her peers in the Greater Bay
Area Congressional Delegation urged the Navy to cooperate
with the hangar's owner, NASA Ames Research Center, "to
ensure remediation and restoration are efficiently achieved."
The memo underscores local residents' desire to see Hangar
One preserved as well as their rejection of the Navy's most
recent clean-up proposal, which would involve removing the
cover and leaving the frame exposed. Preservationists fear the
structure will fall apart without a new skin.
"Our constituents have overwhelmingly supported a re-skinning of Hangar One ... and it is critical that we do everything
possible to see that Hangar One is restored so that it remains an
icon in the Bay Area," the letter states. "Citizens and community leaders alike have come together to support a re-skinning
and remediation process that allows for a new covering for
Hangar One."
NASA Ames and the cities of Mountain View and Sunnyvale
have also voiced support for restoration.
The letter also highlights the hangar's potential role in a
redeveloped Moffett Field: "The Hangar is located within the
NASA Ames Research Center which has recently begun several exciting public-private partnerships with organizations such
as Google and the University of California, Santa Cruz.
"The potential uses in keeping with NASA Ames' mission
for Hangar One are extensive, but can only be realized if the
Hangar is fully restored."
Save Hangar One Committee member Lenny Siegel welcomed the congressional delegation's support.
"Since it was signed by the entire delegation, including
Speaker (Nancy) Pelosi, it sends a powerful message to the
Executive Branch," he said.
This isn't the first time Eshoo and her colleagues have leant
their support to the preservationists. In 2006, when the Navy
proposed demolition as the most cost-effective and efficient
way to clean up PCBs and other toxins at the hangar, a similar
letter was sent to Secretary Winter.
The Navy ultimately backed away from that plan in the face
of sharp public outcry. Its latest proposal is expected to cost
about $25.8 million, or about $500,000 less than demolition.
"It's a treasure not only in the 14th Congressional District,
but in the Bay Area and Northern California," Eshoo said in a
recent interview.
Built in 1932 to house the USS Macon dirigible, the hangar
is more than 200 feet tall, more than 300 feet wide and more
than 1,000 feet long. The Navy and Army took turns using the
hangar until it was turned over to NASA Ames in 1994, after
which it saw air show and open house duty.

Foreclosures: San Jose tries to protect neighborhoods
Lenders pushed
to keep homes
in good condition
By SUE MCALLISTER
As the housing slump grinds on,
San Jose is reaching out to residents
facing foreclosure and insisting on
the cleanup of neglected homes that
could blight city neighborhoods.
Overgrown lawns and vegetation
can pose fire hazards, open doors and
windows can attract vandalism, and
excess debris creates eyesores, said
Michael Hannon, deputy director for
code enforcement.
"A year ago, I had one inspector
manning the vacant building program," Hannon said. Now he's
spread the responsibility among 20
inspectors.
A report prepared recently for the
San Jose City Council by the city's
housing and planning departments
provides a detailed snapshot of the
city's foreclosures from May through
July, and offers a look at how various
city-supported programs are addressing the problem.
The report shows the San Jose
neighborhoods hardest hit by foreclosures during the three-month period are concentrated east of Highway
87. The highest concentration of
foreclosure filings was in ZIP code
95122, where 2.6 percent of all
households were in some stage of
foreclosure. Three other ZIP codes -95111, 95116 and 95127 -- had foreclosure rates of 2 percent or higher.
"When you look at the number of
families impacted, it's a large number, and we need to be responsive as
much as we can," said Leslye
Krutko, director of the city's
Department of Housing, referring to
those families who are losing their
homes.
The 10 worst-faring ZIP codes in
San Jose all performed worse that
the national average for the second
quarter, which was 0.6 percent,
according to data from RealtyTrac,
which also provided the data for the
city report. But "no San Jose ZIP
code is suffering as badly as
Stockton," where the foreclosure rate
in the second quarter was 4.0 percent, the report noted.
Properties are considered to be in
foreclosure if owners received either
a notice of default or a notice that the
property was scheduled to be sold at
auction,
or if the property was repossessed
by mortgage lenders during the period studied.
Many of the vacant properties that
San Jose residents call to complain
about are owned by lending companies that have foreclosed, Hannon
said. As a result, he said his inspectors have created a database of contact names and numbers for the many
different lenders responsible for
foreclosure properties in the city.
"If you're a lender, the city expects
you're going to maintain that property so it doesn't blight the community," he said. "Nowadays, a vacant
building
is
an
'attractive
nuisance,'"â¤°" that could lure vandals to the property, something the
city and neighbors want to avoid.
Hannon said lenders that don't
maintain their properties
can be fined up to $1,000 for multiple violations, and will be charged
for expenses and staff time if city
contractors have to board up a house
to keep it secure, for example.
"It's not fair to the citizens of the
city of San Jose to have to pay for,
essentially, property management,"
Hannon said.
From November 2007 to July
2008, the report said, 305 vacant
houses were found to be in violation
of the city's neglected vacant house
ordinance. But as of the end of the
July, only 92 still needed "abatement" of some kind.
Overall, Hannon said he feels
"pretty good" about his division's
ability to handle citizen complaints,
which he said he relies upon and can
respond to within 24 to 48 hours.
Krutko, who with Planning
Department Director Joe Horwedel
cosigned the report presented to
Mayor Chuck Reed and the council
in late August, said her department's
top concern over the next six weeks
will be determining the best use of
funds that will be available to the
city soon from the U.S. Department
of Housing and Urban Development.
As part of a bill recently passed by
Congress, local governments will be
allocated money to help them
address the foreclosure crisis. The
amount of those allocations will be
announced Sunday, and the city will
have 30 days to submit a plan to
HUD for approval.
Krutko said she is seeking clarification from HUD on what kinds of
programs the funds can be used for.
She said her current understanding is
that the money cannot be used to
help owners stave off foreclosure; it
must be used to mitigate foreclosures
that already have happened.
She said useful programs might
include second-mortgage loans that
would allow first-time buyers to purchase bank-owned foreclosures, or
assistance for renters who have been
displaced after their landlord was
foreclosed upon.
Additionally, Krutko said the city
is hoping to organize more citysponsored foreclosure-prevention
fairs at which lenders can offer onthe-spot loan modifications or other
assistance to owners trying to stay in
their homes. One such event held
Aug. 20 at Independence High
School was attended by an estimated
400 people. Krutko called it "very
successful."
Jaime Alvarado, executive director of Somos Mayfair, a community
organization in San Jose's Mayfair
neighborhood -- and in one of the
report's hardest-hit ZIP codes -- said
the city's efforts to prevent blight
from vacant homes seems in his area
to be working.
"In Mayfair, so far, so good, but
it's still early. Everyday, there are
more and more houses vacant."
BART riders in no rush to pay proposed peak fares

Partnership
unveiled at
Google's annual
conference
By ELISE ACKERMAN
Google
and
General
Electric
announced
Wednesday that they would
work together to push the
development of renewable
energy.
The companies said they
would team up to lobby the
federal government to modernize the electrical grid and
collaborate in the development of technologies for plugin vehicles and geothermal
energy.
"We are trying to make
renewable energy cheaper
than coal energy," Google cofounder Larry Page said at a
news conference Wednesday
afternoon.
The
partnership
was
unveiled at Google's annual
Zeitgeist conference, a twoday think-fest where Google's
business partners are invited
to Mountain View to discuss
global issues with leaders
such as former vice president
Al Gore and Mexican businessman Carlos Slim, as well
as celebrities including
Leonardo DiCaprio and
Forest Whitaker.
Against a backdrop of continued financial turmoil,
Google's leaders said their
business was in good shape
and unlikely to experience a
direct impact from the current
crisis.
"The company has a large
amount of cash in very boring
investments," Chief Executive
Eric Schmidt told reporters.
As of June 30, Google had
$16 billion in cash and securities and other current assets.
Schmidt said Google plans
to move ahead with a previously announced deal to provide search-advertising services to Yahoo, despite scrutiny by regulators in the United
States and Europe. Schmidt
said that his company had
anticipated there would be
objections to the deal, and that
it is carefully structured to
comply with antitrust regulations.
"We have probably not
explained it well enough," he
said.
Advertisers have expressed
concern that the pact would
lead to an increase in the cost
of advertising brokered by
Google. Page pointed out that
the price of advertising is not
set by Yahoo or Google but in
an auction where advertisers
decide what an ad is worth to
them.
and she doesn't care who knows it.
"I'm really, really frustrated with
BART," the Richmond resident said this
week at BART's Ashby station in
Berkeley. "Are we being punished for
going to work at a certain time?"
Findley, who rides BART to Ashby
and transfers to a shuttle bus four days a
week, was referring to a BART proposal
to introduce higher fares and parking fees
during rush hour as soaring ridership
threatens to strain the system at peak
commute times.
BART riders -- the mild-mannered, the
meek and the militant -- almost all agreed
that this is, to put it mildly, a bad idea.
Leaping to his feet from a seat on the
platform bench, John Busher of Berkeley
said, "No. People ride during commute
hours not because they want to, but
because they have to."
Boarding a train at the Pleasant Hill
station, Kelly Martinez added, "The
economy is in terrible shape. For most
people, the foremost thing is keeping a
job. If it costs more to get to work, it'll be
even rougher on them."
High gas prices, traffic jams and concerns about the environment have driven
commuters to BART stations in record
numbers. Just a week earlier, BART hit
an all-time ridership high of about
405,000 passengers thanks to commuters
and the Raiders and Giants both playing
home games on Sept. 8.
BART is averaging 370,000 riders per
day, about 15,000 more than a year ago,
which would seem to be cause for
celebration.
However, the system seems to have
snatched a public-relations defeat with
Joe Habich of El Cerrito was waiting
for a train into San Francisco at the
MacArthur station in Oakland on
Monday.
"They finally got what they wanted -increased ridership," Habich said. "And
now they're going to shoot themselves in
the foot."
Surging ridership is moving the system toward capacity faster than a BART
train hurtling through the Transbay Tube,
engineers say. Congestion pricing is possibly the best way to get riders to take
trains later or earlier than rush hour,
according to consultant Jeffrey Tumlin,
who told the BART board last week, "It is
very effective."
Actual commuters differ. Strongly.
"I have to be at work at a certain time,
five days a week. I can't spread it out,"
said Brendan Fitzgerald of Emeryville,
who takes the Emery Go Round shuttle
bus to the MacArthur station, where he
catches BART into San Francisco.
Fitzgerald, a recruiter for a hospital
staffing agency, works 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
weekdays.
"If I had the choice, I would go at noncommute hours, but I have to be at work
to cover a certain time period. I understand the demands of my workplace,"
said Cathy Torres, who commutes from
Daly City to work at UC Berkeley as a
public health practice coordinator.
"Those who would benefit (from congestion pricing) would be those who can
afford to flex their time -- the higher-paid
workers," Torres said. "Those who are 9to-5, minimum-wage workers would
have to pay the higher rate. They have no
choice."
in Fremont rides her bike to the
MacArthur BART station, then takes the
train to work.
"It's not fair. It's biased against the
people commuting in the morning,"
Kulkarni said.
The system chokes up worst at the
Embarcadero and Montgomery stations
in San Francisco, where commuters -many of them from the East Bay -- flood
the stations' escalators, staircases, elevators and platforms.
The two-year surge in ridership may
soon bring these stations to capacity limits, planners fear.
However, on Monday morning about 8
a.m., the Montgomery station, while
crowded, didn't seem out of control.
Well-defined lines of commuters moved
up the escalators after getting off inbound
trains.
Kimberly Wong of Oakland said she is
generally a fan of BART, but not of the
new plan.
"It's definitely not a good idea," said
Wong, who regularly takes the train to
Concord.
Some commuters said they feared a
possible surcharge would discourage
commuters from taking BART.
"I wouldn't want it to make people get
back in their cars. That would be terrible," said Sarah Brann of Berkeley, who
works as a court reporter in San
Francisco.
Planners say congestion pricing works
well for some big-city commuter-rail systems, including the Metro in Washington
D.C. which has had different peak and
off-peak fares since its system opened in
1976.

Possible financial crisis fix sends stocks soaring
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The
stock market finally found
reason to rally Thursday, and
Congress promised quick
action as the Bush administration prepared a plan to rescue
banks from the bad debt at the
heart of the worst crisis on
Wall Street since the Great
Depression.
Details of the plan were
still being worked out, but
Treasury Secretary Henry
Paulson emerged from a
nighttime meeting on Capitol
Hill to say he hoped to have a
solution “aimed right at the
heart of this problem.”
As word of a government
plan began to reach Wall
Street earlier in the day, the
Dow Jones industrial average
jumped 410 points, its biggest
percentage gain in nearly six
years.
The rebound also came
after an infusion of billions of
dollars by the Federal Reserve
and world governments aimed
at getting nervous banks to
stop hoarding money and lend
again.
Stocks had fluctuated
throughout the day, without
severe swings in either direction, until CNBC reported the
administration might back a
new agency to take bad assets
off the books of struggling
financial institutions, much
like it did in the aftermath of
the savings and loan crisis of
the 1980s.
After the discussions
Thursday night, Paulson said
the goal was to come up with

Minneapolis
highway span
brings new era of
bridge technology
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) —
More than a year after a key
Minneapolis bridge collapsed
and killed 13 people, state
troopers prepared to lead
motorists in a slow procession
Thursday morning across the
new span that reconnects
Interstate 35W over the
Mississippi River.
Crews were scheduled to
remove barricades that have
stood since the old bridge fell
Aug. 1, 2007, reopening a
major artery leading in and
out of Minneapolis that carried 140,000 trips a day.
The new bridge contains
hundreds of sensors that will
collect a stream of data. The
purpose of the “smart bridge”
technology isn’t to warn of
another impending disaster;
it’s to detect small problems
before they become big ones,
said Alan Phipps, design manager for the project with Figg
Engineering Group Inc. of
Tallahassee, Fla.
“What these sensors are
a “comprehensive approach
that will require legislation” to
deal with the bad debts, or
illiquid assets, on banks’ balance sheets. He did not provide any details, but the plan
taking shape called for
Congress to give the administration the power to buy distressed bank assets.
Rep. Barney Frank, DMass., chairman of the House
Financial
Services
Committee, said that probably
would not mean creating a
new government agency.
“It will be the power — it
may not be a new entity. It
will be the power to buy up
illiquid assets,” Frank said.
“There is this concern that if
you had to wait to set up an
entity, it could take too long.”
Frank said his committee
could begin drafting legislation as early as Wednesday.
Paulson, Fed Chairman
Ben Bernanke and other officials planned to work through
the weekend on a solution.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
said that once the administration had presented its proposal, “we hope to move very
quickly” to come to an agreement.
There was no immediate
word how much the rescue
plan might cost.
The banks still standing are
staggering under the weight of
billions of dollars of bad loans
and mortgage debt arising
from the wave of home foreclosures in the United States,
and lending has tightened
around the world in response.
Before the sun rose on Wall
Street on Thursday, the Fed
said it would boost by as
much as $180 billion the
amount of cash it would supply to foreign counterparts
that are short on dollars. For
banks in the United States, the
Fed supplied $105 billion in
short-term loans later in the
day.
But, at least initially, those
efforts did little to unfreeze
the global credit markets.
Banks remained extremely
reluctant to lend money.
The No. 2 official at the
International Monetary Fund,
John Lipsky, said the past few
days were “searing manifestations of a financial crisis that
has expanded to historic proportions.” He predicted the
turbulence would continue for
“some time to come.”
British financial regulators
also banned short-selling the
stock of financial companies
listed on the London Stock
Exchange. U.S. regulators
tightened rules on short-selling Wednesday.
Christopher Cox, chairman
of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, told
lawmakers the SEC may put
in a temporary emergency ban
on all short-selling — not just
the aggressive forms it already
has targeted, according to a
person familiar with the matter, speaking on condition of
anonymity because no final
decision had been made.
The ban might apply to
stocks of selected financial
companies, to all financial
companies or even possibly to
all public companies. Shortselling, which has been practiced on Wall Street for
decades, is not illegal per se.
The Fed said it had authorized the expansion of swap
lines, the process by which it
supplies reserves to other central banks, to include amounts
up to $110 billion for the
European Central Bank and
up to $27 billion for the Swiss
National Bank.
The Fed also said new swap
facilities had been authorized
with the Bank of Japan for as
much as $60 billion, $40 billion for the Bank of England
and $10 billion for the Bank
of Canada.
For more than a year,
investors around the world
have watched with growing
alarm as the U.S. economy,
the world’s largest, has struggled to right itself amid massive home foreclosures, many
of them from mortgages
issued to homeowners with
bad credit.
The turmoil has swallowed
some of the most storied
names on Wall Street. Three
of its five major investment
banks — Bear Stearns,
Lehman Brothers and Merrill
Lynch — have either gone out
of business or been driven into
the arms of another bank.
The Dow’s gain of nearly 4
percent on Thursday sent the
average back above 11,000
and nearly erased its losses
from a day before.
But as the uncertainty wore
on, investors continued to
for, it’s like going to your doctor for your health checkup,”
Phipps said. “It’s to ensure
you’re maintained in top
shape so you never get close
to having a serious problem.”
The $234 million bridge
was completed on budget and
more than three months ahead
of the Dec. 24 deadline. That
means the contractors — led
by the team of Flatiron
Construction
Corp.
of
Longmont,
Colo.,
and
Manson Construction Co. of
Seattle — should get a bonus
close to the contract maximum of $27 million, though
the actual amount hasn’t been
determined.

He flew here Wednesday
night after spending a day in
Afghanistan to discuss with
Afghan leaders and American
commanders the issue of inadvertent civilian casualties
from U.S. airstrikes. At a
news conference at the U.S.
Embassy in Kabul, Gates said
it was time to take a new
approach to responding.
“I think the key for us is, in
those rare occasions when we
do make a mistake, when
there is an error, to apologize
quickly, to compensate the
victims quickly and then carry
out the investigation,” Gates
told reporters later at Bagram

briefing from an Air Force
general on the rules and
restrictions U.S. pilots must
follow when providing aerial
support to U.S. and allied
troops engaged in ground
fighting.

Democrat Barack Obama,
who supports abortion rights,
is only too happy to remind
voters where McCain stands,
but he tries to make his case

moderates, primarily women
in swing-voting suburban
regions of crucial states such
as Pennsylvania, Michigan
and Ohio.
The candidates’ carefully
targeted ads on abortion and
stem-cell research, topics that
enflame passions among both
abortion-rights proponents
and opponents, illustrate how
Republicans and Democrats
alike are tailoring their messages to specific groups of
voters.
Obama is calling out
McCain in ads that say the
GOP nominee takes an
“extreme position on choice”
and “will make abortion illegal.” He is spreading his message through low-profile radio
ads and campaign mailings,

On Thursday, Morgan
Stanley scrambled to strike a
major deal or raise more cash
that will reassure investors
and prevent more damage to
its battered stock. Its CEO,
John Mack, reached out to
China’s Citic Group overnight
about a possible investment,
according to a person familiar
with the talks.
Morgan Stanley is also considering a combination with
retail bank Wachovia Corp.
and an investment from
Singapore Investment Corp.,
one of the world’s biggest
sovereign wealth funds, said
the person, who spoke on the
condition of anonymity
because the discussions were
still ongoing.
On Capitol Hill, lawmakers
in both parties became
increasingly vocal about their
concerns with the Bush
administration’s handling of
the current crisis.
Administration officials
refused to attend a closeddoor briefing with House
Republicans Thursday morning, leaving their congressional allies in the dark about the
government’s $85 billion
emergency loan to insurer
American
International
Group, House GOP leader
John A. Boehner said.
And Sen. Chris Dodd, DConn.,
the
Banking
Committee chairman, was
irritated that Paulson twice
canceled appearances he was
to have made before the panel
this week.
Theatre
more seating and the names of
the films being shown are the
only major modifications to
the exterior of this South State
Street landmark.
The Ukiah Theatre first
opened for business on
Wednesday, Sept. 8, 1948,
when it screened the Cary
Grant film “Mr. Blandings
Builds His Dream House” (a
film which was remade last
year under the title “Are We
Done Yet?” and starred Ice
Cube.)
The original incarnation of
the movie house featured a
single screen with seating to
fit many hundreds of patrons
and cost original owner
George Mann $380,000 to
build -- approximately $3.2
million in today’s dollars,
according to local history
researcher Ed Bold.
“There is an apartment
above the lobby that was built
for George Mann,” said
William French Jr., another
local history enthusiast.
“People who saw it said it was
pretty nice. It’s still there but
the original stairs have been
removed. The building was
designed in 1941 by William
B. David, who designed most
of the theaters for Mann.
Before working for Mann, he
worked for the legendary S.
Charles Lee, one of the greatest theater designers of alltime and a classic Art Deco
Designer. The theatre construction was put off because
of (World War II). The design
is in Streamline Modern, not
Art Deco as some want to
believe. Of course, the Mann
company still survives and
owns the Grauman’s Chinese
Theatre in Hollywood.”
In November 1979, the
Ukiah Theatre became the
Ukiah 4, splitting the single
screening room into four
equal parts. The first films
shown during this incarnation
were
“The
Amityville
Horror,” the Nick Nolte
movie “North Dallas Forty,”
Cinema
had to cough up a quarter per
show.
In August 1908, the Victory
Theater Company began its
15-year run. Earlier that year,
the Central Theater, located at
the corner of Perkins and
School streets, had become
the first stationary movie
house in Ukiah, but it closed
the next year.
Over the following few
years, a series of businesses
dedicated to screening motion
pictures opened and closed in
town including: the Past Time
(1910), the Empire (19111912), the Rex (1913-1915),
the Star (1914) and Auto
Movies,
which
showed
movies in a garage in 1920.
In 1923, the State Theater
took over the space previously occupied by the Victory
Theater and began showing
movies with sound, referred
to at the time as “talkies,” six
years later. Children were
charged 20 cents, general
admission seating cost 50
cents and luxury box seating,
called “loges,” carried a 65cent price tag.
The State Theater ended its

Scam
such mail or to contact local
law enforcement if they have
doubts.
To participate in the scam
required the fulfillment of
several tasks.
A person choosing to participate would have made purchases from specific “big
box” stores and then rated the
service of the stores.
“The letter included a fictitious check in the amount of
the “American Graffiti”
sequel “More American
Graffiti” and “The Frisco
Kid,” which starred Gene
Wilder and Harrison Ford.
“The lobby was mostly
gutted in the early ’90s and
the
outer
lobby
was
removed,” French said. “The
’90s remodel also saw the
addition of two more auditoriums. Before the ’90s remodel,
the four auditoriums had curtains that would rise before
the start of each movie. In the
2000s, all of the auditoriums
were gutted with the only surviving aspects of the original
auditorium removed being the
aluminum hand rails.”
The theater went through
several internal makeovers
over the next few years, but
most of the exterior, including
the iconic neon “UKIAH
Theatre” sign, remained
unchanged.
“It should be noted that the
vertical sign is the only officially city-designated local
historical landmark,” said
French. “The other landmarks
are designated by the state and
by the National Register. The
Ukiah vertical sign is a wellknown icon in movie theater
circles.”
French said his experience
of going to the movies as a
child were well-remembered
to this day.
“From the 1970s into the
1990s the (Ukiah Theatre)
hosted free movies for children during the summer,” he
said. “This was always a different kind of event. Lines
would stretch down from the
front of the theater all the way
to Gobbi (Street). In the early
’80s there was a matinee during these movies to increase
food sales. These movies were
always free. I can remember
seeing ‘Star Wars’ and this little kid, maybe 5 years old,
getting up in front of everyone
and cussing us all out, using
the f-word many times. Kids
would also throw food at the
screen, especially soda. The
place would be a mess afterwards.”

market by closing for good in
1948 because of concerns
over the building’s safety. The
building later became the
State Market.
“The State was partially
demolished after the Ukiah
was built and converted into a
grocery store,” William
French said. “All but the
southern wall of the remains
of the State were demolished
in the early 1980s.”
From March to September
of the same year the State
closed its doors, local film
enthusiasts trekked to the
Ukiah High School auditorium to view the latest releases
before the Ukiah Theatre
opened
its
doors
in
September, 1948, Bold said.
On Thursday, July 5, 1950,
Ukiah’s only drive-in theater
opened due west of the intersection of Talmage Road and
South State Street. The first
movie screened was the western “The Streets of Laredo.”
The theater closed its doors
for good on Saturday, Oct. 27,
1979. The last film shown at
that location, “The Shootist,”
was also John Wayne’s final
film and Jimmy Stewart’s last
western.

Next, after a purchase and
an evaluation of a box store,
the letter requested a second

Then the letter asked that

Rootstock to open for
‘Yellowman’ on Sunday
By TOM FOREST
Special for the Journal
Lovers of reggae will be treated to two bands, with inspiring
lyrics, on Sunday night at one of the last great roadhouses, the
Caspar Inn. In the old days upstairs was the bordello while now,
after remodeling, the bands and the public use the very reasonably priced rooms.
Opening for the great Jamaican, “Yellowman” (as he is
named there) will be Mendocino County’s longtime reggae
stalwart, Rootstock, who formed two years after Bob Marley’s
untimely demise in 1981.
These guys have played nearly every major festival on the
west coast an have opened for all the greats with Sunday being
no exception. The five-piece band just switched websites to
gigmasters.com for the year and can be reached at 463-1166
locally. They are known as “musician’s musicians” especially
by the international bands coming thorugh who judge with their
ears and not their eyes. The next local event Rootstock plays
will be their now traditional appearance at the Ukiah Brewing
Company on Halloween, Friday Oct. 31.

Datebook: Friday, Sept. 19, 2008
Today is the 263rd day of 2008 and the 91st
day of summer.
TODAY’S HISTORY: In 1957, the United
States conducted its first underground nuclear
test, in a mountain tunnel in Nevada.
In 1995, the Washington Post published the
Unabomber’s manifesto, in partnership with
the New York Times; the FBI had recom-
mended publication in the interest of public
safety.
In 2002, President George W. Bush
requested that Congress authorize him to “use
all means” to disarm and depose Saddam
Hussein.

ASTROGRAPH
By Bernice Bede Osol
Saturday, Sept. 20, 2008
Unfortunately, the year
ahead will not be without its
difficulties. However, if you
don’t lose heart and stay the
course, things will eventually
turn around and actually work
to your advantage. Keep your
eye on the prize.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22) -- Although you rightfully may get upset when another takes advantage of your
good nature, be careful not to
take it out on innocent
bystanders. The temptation to
blow off steam could be
great.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
-- Someone who can never
admit defeat will try to argue
with you that he or she is
right and you are wrong.
Even if you know the truth is
just the opposite, there’s
nothing to be gained by proving it -- so stay mum.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
22) -- You might want to give
others the benefit of the
doubt, but, to be on the safe
side, don’t be too quick to
accept a deal from a stranger.
Scrutinize every aspect
before shaking hands.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23Dec. 21) -- Should you find a
critical objective is exceptionally difficult to attain and
isn’t going right, put it off
until another time. Chances
are it’ll be a different story
tomorrow.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19) -- If you are faced
with having to deal with
someone who never plays by

Don’t sink to his or her level
in order to conduct your
affairs.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 19) -- Someone might
stir up trouble by deliberately
misquoting you. Don’t ignore
it. Nip it in the bud immediately, because it will leave a
scar on your reputation.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March
20) -- By allowing yourself to
get involved in a riff that
develops
between
two
friends, you stand a great
chance of ending up as the
fall guy once they patch up
their differences and go their
own way.

its grassy spaciousness and apparent unpredictability, is the most intensely and satisfyingly mathematical of all our outdoor sports.”

and refuse to follow the
instructions that have been
given to you. And if your task
is for another, your loss will
be even greater.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20) -- Trying to force change
for change’s sake will be like
trying to put square pegs into
round holes, so let events
unfold at their own pace and
in their own way. To do anything less will cause problems.
GEMINI (May 21-June
20) -- It doesn’t matter that
others are behaving in an
unreasonable fashion. The
fires of agitation aren’t
smothered by responding in
kind; ignore their bad manners and set a better example.
CANCER (June 21-July
22) -- Everyone makes mis-
takes, and you are no exception. However, make sure that
anger (from making those
errors) doesn’t dominate your
thinking, or you’ll make matters worse.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Just because you wouldn’t
take advantage of anyone
doesn’t mean someone won’t
take advantage of you. Be
trusting of others -- but not to
the point of foolishness.

Office worker is considering joining the Air National Guard
ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: I am a 28-year-old single
female. I just got a promotion and moved
closer to my job. I am doing great and even
got a raise. I am pretty happy with my life, but
I still have this empty feeling. I have been
with my employer for eight years, but sometimes wonder how the Air National Guard
could open my opportunities.
Right now, I’m terrified of giving up everything I have worked for by joining the military. I know it would be a big change in my
life. But I’m trying to think long term and
wonder how long I can really stay with the
same job I have now.
My current employer would work around
my guard duties, so it may not be as risky as I
fear. I know I should be satisfied with the way
things are now, but I’m not. I am having a
hard time choosing the right path. Other than
listing the pros and cons (which I’ve already
done), can you give me any pointers to help
me make a decision? -- Undecided in Iowa
By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
Dear Iowa: First, please understand that
you could be deployed. If you go into military service expecting a weekend job, you
may be surprised. There are other ways to
expand your employment opportunities.
However, being in the military develops
leadership qualities that are highly valued in
the business world. Beyond that, of course,
you seem terribly dissatisfied with your current situation. If, after considering all sides,
you still are leaning toward enlisting, do it.
Dear Annie: My 73-year-old husband has
become a dirty old man. I do not enjoy going
out with him because he constantly stares at
other women. I understand that men like to
FRIDAY EVENING
9/19/08 6:00 6:30 7:00 7:30 8:00 8:30 9:00 9:30 10:00 10:30 11:00
look, but my husband doesn’t simply glance.
He stares. He fixes his gaze as if he’s in a
trance.
And the women do not have to be pretty - any female will do, particularly their rear
ends. We can be sitting behind a woman and
if her backside is visible, he ogles it. It’s
embarrassing to me because he is quite obvious about it and there’s no doubt other people are aware of what he’s doing. He certainly doesn’t seem to care that he makes me
uncomfortable, and I worry that one of these
days, a husband or boyfriend is going to confront him.
I work all week and can only imagine
what he does when I’m not around. Right
now, he is totally smitten with a teenager
who works in a local shop, and I’m afraid
this girl’s father will have him arrested. I’ve
had enough and would appreciate some
advice. -- Embarrassed Wife
Dear Wife: Your husband should get a
complete checkup, and you can alert the doctor to the problem ahead of time. Sometimes
uninhibited behavior like this is sympto-
matic of a small stroke or early dementia. A
clean bill of health means you have to decide
how much you can tolerate. If he refuses to
behave in public, socialize with friends
instead, and let him stay home and ogle the
neighbors. If he gets arrested, maybe he’ll
learn a lesson.
Dear Annie: Your answer to “Porn King’s
Wife,” whose husband is sending pornographic videos to co-workers, hit the target
but missed the bull’s-eye. You said he could
get fired for sending them to his female coworkers. While true, it doesn’t go far
enough.
He should stop sending porn to ALL coworkers, male or female. I’m a guy and don’t
want that in my inbox. I’d report the man for
harassment. What if I opened his e-mail and
had it on my screen when my supervisor
walked by? I don’t want his porn to cause me
to lose my job. -- A Male Worker
Dear Male Worker: You are absolutely
right. Harassment on the job is not a problem
confined to women. This man should knock
it off.
